1、词汇包装,保证精彩和详细
如果背单词的目的不仅仅是识别阅读,听力中的要点,还包括口语,作文中有效表达的话. 那么我们要明白句子中主要有三种词汇。
1)实词:名词、动词、数字、形容词、副词
其中名词,动词和数字使答题内容具体细化;形容词和副词的包装作用可以是答题变得更加华丽。
2)虚词:助词、感叹词
助动词:完成句型的时态、语态、语气。
平时要注意语法曲折变位的能力
感叹词:使答题充满人性、不沉闷、很动态,能帮助你展现感性的成分。
3)连词:
答题的理性的成分,制造内容的起承转合,展现口才的逻辑质量。有目的的积累,善用各种词性的好词,可以对口语表达进行精彩的包装。
2、亮点论据,升级内容的技术含量。
不管考试时间如何要求答题长度,考生需要意识到,我们不仅要完成填充题目要求时间,还要保证填充信息的技术含量和精彩程度。
下列论据大家要学会积累,这样才能或具体话题点对点使用或放之四海皆真的广泛应用于各种话题中。
1)fact摆事实
2)statistics列数字
3)witness/testimony 亲身经验/别人经验
4)comparison/analogy比较/类比
5)example贴切的例子
6)anecdote黑色幽默的奇闻趣事
7)quotation名人名言引用
在这样的选词和造句的原则下,我们面对一个话题,要考虑能说出来的信息总量有多少,之后把这些信息都写出来,反复朗读,并录音,帮助自己不见得要背诵,但是至少要非常熟悉。
下面的体育话题完成了
1、兴趣爱好:运动
2、偶像明星:科比布莱恩特
3、生活大事:偶遇明星
4、体育运动:篮球
5、影响自己的事情/人:

娱乐-体育: Basket-ball / Kobe pyant / LA Lakers
My favorite sport is without a shadow of a doubt basketball. And, funny story, I met a NBA basketball player for the first time in my life at an airport when I wasn’t that familiar with NBA. I looked at him and didn’t know who he was. Now I think about it, it was Kobe pyant. Wow! I had no idea! What a waste of opportunity! I mean, I could’ve asked for an autograph. But i didn’t. Ooooh, I hate myself. I’m a huge fan of the L.A. Lakers. There’re too many reasons for this. To start with, it’s dynasty in the forming. Some people say that Shaquille O’neal and Kobe pyant,
THAT was a dynasty!But I’m not a big fan of Shaq; I love Kobe. Being a guard, he’s all around. He scored 81 points back in 2006 in a game against the Toronto Raptors. In 2007, around the same time of the year, he scored more than 50 for four consecutive games. And this year, he’s taking the Lakers all the way to the Final after beating San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Final. And before that they beat Utah Jazz. We often say that there’s no easy game in the West. And Kobe and his team came all the way. That could only mean one thing--They’re unbelievably good. I play basketball whenever I can. And I even imitate some of Kobe’s moves.
I’m not that tall, but still, I can jump shoot, do the lay-up, and if the hoop is low enough, do a slam dunk. Being a guard is like being a captain of a team. You initiate every attack, you decide the offense strategy. And when you give out assists, you’re helping other teammates;when you’re hitting three-pointers, you’re encouraging the whole team. When you do a lay-up in a fast peak, you’re pissing off your opponents. The more you play basketball, the more you find there’s more to basketball than just a physical game. It has a mental state to it. How to be selfless, how to contribute to the team instead of just thinking for yourself, how to work with others--these are also questions we have to face in real life. The NBA has a catch-phrase, i love this game. It’s more than i can say about it. And this year, i found it was changed. Now the motto is “Where Amazing Happens!”David Stern is absolutely a genius. Basketball provides me more than exercise, but more importantly, inspiration and encouragement in life.
托福口语中用词精彩是非常重要的,大多数考生为保证有的说,不出错,都尽量选用比较保守的语句和词汇,因此想要在托福口语中脱颖而出就一定要有精彩语句,当然大前提是没有语法错误以及无话可说的情况发生。
在托福备考过程中,对托福口语进行多次练习,在托福考试过程中才能更有底气!最重要的是在考试过程中千万不要紧张,正常发挥就好,充满自信的进入战场!
