新东方翟少成——托福口语第一、二题详解
托福口语王及新托福高分考生访谈现场比拼口语(3)
托福口语王及新托福高分考生访谈现场比拼口语(3)网友:对着机器练是不是不太好,觉得对着机器说话怪怪的。
翟少成:如果他想考试的话面前的确没有人,面前就是冷冰冰的电脑屏幕。
我们现在在讲这个东西其实就是说新托福的备考,我的立足点肯定是考试本身,去适应考场。
如果当然你要不要考新托福就跟人对,没有办法,如果你考新托福这个压力很大了。
这位网友说的是非常好的,但是如果说为了准备新托福,对着机器、对着倒计时的时钟练习肯定是必要的,而且要练习很长时间才能够不紧张。
因为考试里面不免有紧张得情绪,怎么能不紧张?我想只能通过平常大规模的很长时间的训练,真正在考试的时候想紧张也很难紧张起来,这是的状态。
网友:除了录音的方法还有没有别的可以练习口语的,尤其是语音、语调方面,想听一下两位的建议。
王怡婕:我认为实际上语言固然对环境有很大的强调,环境确实很重要,比方说有的人出过国,所以他的语言很好,有的人比如说他的父母是从事这个行业,所以他的语言很好,但我两者都不这样。
那么这些环境的因素你可以自己创造,比方说我认为对于广大的准备新托福备考的这些网友来说,我认为像跟读、随读这种东西就是很好的能够练习语音语调的方法,语音语调其实就是模仿的过程,你听说尽量把说的和听到的更相符,这就是很好的方法。
还有,比方说大家在读东西的时候,可以考虑一下比方说让同学,比方说考友听一下,不是说听一些很细小的细节,而是说看你有没有硬伤。
比如读一些词,你会给判卷的老师造成一种误解,或者真的要花很大的力气才能够知道你这个词是什么意思,这样就没有好结果。
互相之间也听一下,毕竟自己听自己的东西毛病并不是很形式,跟读我觉得其他的人客观的做一个评价和审视我觉得也是不错的方法。
翟少成:她说的是不错的,跟读是很有帮助的。
因为我在新托福里面不教听力,我不知道听力老师有没有这样的,我在另外一个部门,就是在一些比较长期的地方教听力的时候我都要求学生去跟读,到了最后一遍都是以跟读结束。
2015年8月30日托福口语真题(新东方)
2015年8⽉30⽇托福⼝语真题(新东⽅) Task 1 Is it important to be polite and have good manners? Task 2 To be successful in sport, which is more important? Talent or hard work? Task 3 A student proposes that the school should publish club information so that students can get more info about campus activities, and they can hear about club members’ experience. The man in the conversation agrees. First, he says right now there’s no one central place to provide all the information, so they have to know what’s happening through posters or friends, and sometimes it’s not very convenient. Second, he is in a photography club. You don’t know how interesting it is until you talk to the members. You cannot know about their stories from posters and stuff. Task 4 Social behavior training: Adults perform social behavior and make children imitate the behavior and children eventually know how to behave in social settings themselves. In the listening, the professor used to teach in a kindergarten. One day he was teaching kids color pictures. A girl named Mary wanted a red crayon but couldn’t find one in the box, so she grabbed one from a boy named Paul’s hand. The professor then showed her how to borrow things from others politely, and from then on, the girl learned to always be polite when borrowing things. Task 5 The girl’s problem is that she has one afternoon class and one evening class, but there’s only a 30-minute break in between which is not enough for her to have dinner. The first solution is to bring supper to class, but it’s a lot of work preparing the food. The second solution is to move the afternoon class to the evening, but then she’ll get out of class very late and she’ll be exhausted. Task 6 The professor talks about two ways animals survive in dry seasons. The first is special physical feathers. For example, elephants have big-sized bodies and sharp tusks that can help them drink water from barks which can store water. The second is special behavior. For example, wild beasts migrate to the north during droughts, because there’s enough water and food there.⼩编推荐:。

翟少成老师13年4月托福口语预测
口语Task 1plan 1 【名词解释】planning fallacy.(“planning fallacy”讲的是人很难预测到潜在的问题)Fail to consider all the possible factors that affect the project and lead to the inaccuracy in estimate the time that cost to complete then lead to bad consequences. 【讲座例予】教授在大学时是好学生,有一天他的教授布置了10 pages的paper,他认为他很快可以写完,所以提前一天开始写,到了图书馆,借了书,回去发现材料不够,再去图书馆时,已经关门了,所以只能迟交作文,最后得了很低的分,虽然他教师觉得他的内容很好plan 2 讲了一个叫:反映( response)难易度(effort)的名词。
不知该怎么翻译,反正就是讲:完成一个任务需要的力气越少,人们完成的会越好。
例子讲了一个幼儿园老师要求孩子们画完画后讲蜡笔放回原来的盒子里收好,可是很多人都没那么做。
因为那个盒子太小了,孩子们方不进去,他们试了几次后就放弃了。
然后老师要求把蜡笔放在一个塑料盆里,这个工作很简单,所有的孩子都做到了。
plan 3 阅读:说明sociology中的diversion技术。
听力:professor讲了个例子,电视节目上A,B两个哥们儿讨论关于政府投资建公园的事情,A反对花钱建公园;B不提钱的事情,只是说公园多好多好,举了好多例子,然后把观众的注意力转移,因为钱是大家敏感的,这就是diversion技术。
Task 2plan 1【1个问题】the man can't find his camera before his trip to Spain.男生在spring break要去西班牙玩,准备拍照,但是数码相机丢了【2个建议】he can either buy a new one,or borrow one from his friend Jake.女生让他买,但是他说没有enough money,他自己说他朋友(貌似说了具体的名字)可以借给他,但是他不想用,女生说:对,万一 broken或者stolen就不好了plan 2 一男一女的对话,女的说她的父母weekend要来visit她,她很激动,但是她的apartment很脏乱。
托福口语王及新托福高分考生访谈现场比拼口语(5)
有⼈喜欢吃爆⽶花,有⼈喜欢吃⽠⼦,你喜欢什么? 王怡婕:我喜欢吃⽠⼦,第⼀,我的家⼈都喜欢吃⽠⼦。
另外,吃⽠⼦是很好的放松⽅式,可以消灭时光。
第三,⽠⼦因为是⾮常健康的事物,可以健脑,可以促进肠道蠕动,所以我⾮常喜欢吃⽠⼦。
但是我不喜欢吃爆⽶花,因为爆⽶花⾮常不健康。
主持⼈:这题答的不好。
王怡婕:这种题⼀定优点和缺点对着答,尽量选⼀到两个优点,再答⼀到两个缺点。
您最喜欢的交通⽅式是? 翟少成:肯定是开车了,跟刚才的答案是⼀样的,第⼀,开车的时候可以听我喜欢的CD。
另外,开车肯定是⽐较⾃由的,如果我需要停车的时候我找个地⽅就可以听了,如果采⽤交通⼯具肯定不能做到。
有的⼈喜欢在城市⾥居住,有⼈喜欢在乡村,你喜欢哪个,为什么? 王怡婕:我喜欢在乡村,第⼀,因为乡村没有环境污染,⽽城市污染严重。
第⼆,我喜欢乡村的景⾊,有⼭有⽔有⼈家,在⼤城市中除了⾼楼⼤厦之外感受不到温情。
您的问题,政府为什么应该⿎励奢侈品消费,为什么? 翟少成:我认为政府应该⿎励,⼈分为很多种,社会上就有这样的⼈,⼤概50%的⼈有⼤概的需求愿望和需要能⼒,他们的需求不影响被抑制,所以应该⿎励。
第⼆,当那些不能消费的⼈看着别⼈消费的时候就是⼀种刺激,⽐如我开着骏捷别⼈开着宝马,肯定会激励我。
你喜欢北京吗? 王怡婕:我⾮常喜欢北京,第⼀,因为北京有魅⼒的环境,有许多的树、有许多的草,使我们的环境⾮常的怡⼈。
第⼆,北京有着⽅便的交通,既有⾮常好的公共交通,⼜能够⽀付得起私家车费。
另外,2008年奥运会就在眼前,我想作为⼀名志愿者,所以我⾮常喜欢北京。
友:北京的⼈⽂环境还不错,⾃然环境有待改善。
王怡婕:⼤家答这个问题的时候千万不要犹豫说假话,你可以随便说假话,⽐如这个你既然选择了喜欢北京,就要想到⼀些⼤的事件,冲到脑⼦⾥想什么就说什么,那边的⼈是不知道你是怎么着的,你可以假装成⼩学⽣或者⽼⼈,都可以,⽐如说⽼⼈更智慧,因为我作为⼀个⽼⼈可以看到世间的什么什么,都是可以的,⼤家只要进⼊⾓⾊答题。
托福独立口语题目形式及答题时间策略讲解
托福独立口语题目形式及答题时间策略讲解托福独立口语题目形式及答题时间策略讲解托福独立口语TASK1题型和答题时间策略分析首先是第一题,preference 题或称之为“偏好题”,经过收集和研究,题型主要走人物题、地点题、事件题及物品题。
由于不会出现雅思考试考官针对同一话题问两次到三次的情况,所以针对托福备考有个称之为“同一话题只需准备一个题材”的概念,也就是在备考前面对同一话题无需泛化去找另类话题,而是不断深化,思考可以囊括阐述其他人物、地点、事件或物品的通用理由。
如果文章开始表述,建议如同写作一样大体分为三段阐述,开题无需技巧,简单读题即可,把you 都改成me,比起I think。
开头可以省去相对多的思维时间。
内容一般找三个理由,为避免理由重复或累赘,建议就方便、经济、减压等常用理由进行练习,并结合不断问自己How 及Why 等问题来充实内容,完成example 的部分。
最后用连词进行连接,这里有个技巧,就使用first, also, finally,因为三到六题综合题中这三个词常成为提示词出现,在前两题中使用可对其有一定敏感度。
托福独立口语TASK2题型和答题时间策略分析再次是第二题,结合第一题,内容分布完全相同,并且这两题对时间把握尤其重要,要求考生进行“掐表”练习,对45s有感性认识,当一定练习后,口语部分的考试不再是考内容的,而是考时间的,因此在考试过程中掐时间角度有很多技巧可言,比如:当阐述内容结束时时间为38s 或39s,则在最后可加句detail 或一句类似The person like me has no choice but to do sth.的长废话;当结束时时间为41s或42s,则在最后可加一句短废话,如I find it’s cool. 最讨厌的是41s 说完这句短废话后变成42s,离perfect time 还是有3 秒钟,那么可以用一些装口吃或吞口水的考场技巧将时间掐到44s 或45s。

And I also think it is the golden opportunity for us to talk while we are eating, by doing this I can enjoy the food better. Also, I have a chance to share my point of view on the food we are eating.

This is why I am cooking.T– Topic aloneS– Supporting aloneidea not talkative concentratebad for healthindigestion, (personal incident or your friends’ ones)T—Transition First, because, Also, finallyI prefer having meals alone. First, because I am really a person who likes to be left alone, especially when I am eating. I am not talkative, especially when I am having meals which means I have to concentrate on the food instead of things we are talking about. Another reason why I prefer having meals alone is that talking while eating is bad for our stomach. It will lead to indigestion if you often talk when you eat. Finally, if I eat alone I am not going to have any problems like other people’s terrible table manners. Let me give you one example, and I can’t stand this really. Somebody makes a lot of noise when they are eating or somebody even takes off their shoes when having meals. This really drives me crazy!例1:✧NOTICE OF VOTE ON CAMPUS FOOD SERVICEStudents are encouraged to vote on the university’s proposal to change the food service on campus.

Because of this unfortunate circumstance that has rendered the chemistry lab unusable, it has been necessary to close the lab until necessary repairs can improve the condition of the lab to a point that is once again usable. The staff of the chemistry lab sincerely regrets any inconvenience that this might cause students and faculty who make use of the lab as part of their research or studies. Repairs to the lab will commence at the soonest possible moment, and the lab will be reopened as soon as it is feasible (though, based on the current condition of the lab, it might take a considerable amount of time). Once again, the staff of the chemistry lab apologizes for this inconvenience.TOPIC: notice about closing of chemistry labMain points:✓"unfortunate occurrence" in chemistry lab✓chemistry lab now unusable✓not opened for some timeNotes from the conversation:TOPIC: student discussion of situation in chemistry labMain points:✓students both unable to complete lab work assigned for class✓woman seems worried; man doesn't✓rumor that students' chemistry professor caused explosionQuestion:The students express their opinions about the notice posted on the door of the chemistry lab.

They will not be able to complete the lab work that has been assigned for their chemistry class; the woman seems more concerned about this than the man does. One interesting point in all of this is that the man has heard a rumor that it was their own chemistry professor who caused an explosion that damaged the lab. The students seem to be amused at this thought.例 3Memo from the librarianToo many students have been failing to return library materials or to pay late fees for materials that were returned after the due date. In order to remedy this situation, the decision has been reached that library privileges will be suspended for any students who have failed to return materials or have failed to pay required late fees. This means that students whose library privileges have been suspended will not be able to check out any further library materials until any delinquencies have been cleared.SAMPLE NOTES ON READING PASSAGE:TOPIC:memo from head librarian on what to do about students not returning materials and paying late feesMain points:✓students' library privileges stopped✓students unable to check library materials outQuestion:The students express their opinions of the announcement made by the head librarian.

Once tamed, these mammals are used for agricultural work and transportation. Yet some herd mammals are not easily domesticated.A good indicator of an animal’s suitability for domestication is how protective the animal is of i ts territory. Non-territorial animals are more easily domesticated than territorial animals because they can live close together with animals from other herds. A second indicator is that animals with a hierarchical social structure, in which herd members follow a leader, are easy to domesticate, since a human can function as the ―leader‖.NarratorNow listen to part of a lecture on this topic in an ecology class.Topic of the reading passage:Animal DomesticationMain points :✓Some are not easily domesticated.✓How protective the animal is of its territory✓Animals with a hierarchical social structure are easy to domesticateThe professor describes the behavior of horses and antelope in herds. Explain how their behavior is related to their suitability for domestication..Sample Answer:In this set of materials, the reading passage describes the principle of animal domestication t and the listening passage is a lecture by a professor on the same topic..According to the reading passage, non-terrestrial animal are more easily domesticated than those terrestrial animals..In the listening passage, the professor discusses the same topic.According to the professor, herd animals can be easily domesticated if they have a hierarchical social structure and are not territorial, and that this is why it is easier to domesticate horses than antelopes. Because horses’ hierarchical social structure makes them willing to follow one another and thus allows a human being to act as their leader. And horses are not territorial; they can be harnessed together without fighting. While antelopes are territorial, male antelopes fight if they are together, and that because antelopes do not have a social hierarchy, humans can’t control them by acting as their leader.例1SomnambulismSomnambulism, or sleepwalking, is a sleep disorder that can occur in both children and adults.

5月31日的题目重复的很怪异看来ETS的确没有新题了,不过在用老题方面也算推陈出新,也玩出了花样,即以前是直接完整照搬照抄某一天的全部试题,而现在却进行section的随意组合,其中的规律只有ETS才知道,因此现在看来,什么机经预测都是不可靠的。
只有提高实力了。
或者既然2008年到现在所有的题目都来自于06和07的老题,同心们可以把所有的ibt试题看几遍,这或许也有帮助。
但是,实力提高刻不容缓啊!。

Second, I get to know something about US campus life. Because TOEFL ibt is based on students‟ lives in US campus, so you can know how they study , behave and think.
