让你的托福口语流利起来

练好口语是托福提分的重要一项，今天小编就来聊聊托福口语怎么变流利，祝大家早日和托福君say goodbye！

托福口语28分需要具备的流利能力

熟悉打分原则

托福口语官方给出的打分标准有三个，分别是：Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development。在这三个方面来说，Delivery应该是每个Task最为看重的部分，也就是说大家的语言表现力---清晰度和流利度是最重要，也是拿到26分及以上的关键因素。

有些同学可能本身口语的基础比较好，所以只要稍微学习一下答题的套路基本上就可以得到比较高的分数了。但是很多同学临场的口语表达水平并不能做到在45s或者60s内非常流利和清晰地说完。

假设这个时候还有比较长的备考时间，建议可以创造一个说英语的环境，强迫自己每天都要说，可以和自己说话，也可以找一个好朋友一直用英语聊天之类的。假设只有比较短的备考时间，建议每天都要练习5-10道独立口语的真题，积累语料，这样会在流利度上有很大的提高。

准备语料

参考上面一段的最后，其实托福口语的独立题基本上都是很生活化的，涉及的问题、领域无非也就是那么几个，所以其实很方便把同一种回答套用在很多的题目上，主要就是灵活运用的问题。在这里给大家举几个例子，比如：今天遇到了一道题:

(2015.1.11)Which of the following activities do you consider most enjoyable for a Saturday afternoon?

1. Play sports game

2. Be with friends

3. Cook at home

我选择了第一个sports game，我的理由是：

i. Mental health(relive pressure)

ical health(strengthen muscles, build up resistance).

在练习的时候有足够的时间去优化这个答案，查询一些相关的词组或者思考一些具体简洁的例子，那这个就可以作为一个语料去使用。

但是遇到完全一样的题目的概率没有很大，需要的是大家的转化能力，比如：

(2015.1.25)If you were asked to do community service, which of the following activities do you like to choose and why?

1. Help children with their homework.

2. Teach adults how you use computer.

3. Clean the community park.

我会选择第三个，因为park可以为人们exercise提供场所，exercise是很重要的(插入语料)，所以我很想把park打扫干净。

再比如：

(2017.11.11)Your local community center wants to add some new workshops or programs for children, which of the following do you think would be most beneficial for children’s development?

1. Art craft workshop

2. Athletic programs

3. Technology workshop

这道题我肯定选择第三个，然后我的语料就可以随便套用在上面了。

以上的例子是为了告诉大家，独立口语的选择和要说的内容从来都不必遵循自己的内心，再经过一定练习之后，最重要的就是怎么在考场上把曾经说过的语料灵活地使用起来，这样就可以机智地把即兴发挥变成脱稿演讲啦。

　提升托福口语流利度方法

托福口语的提高离不开平时的练习，但是练习也是要讲究方法的，不能盲目。出国留学网托福栏目为您提供如何提升托福口语流利度，希望能帮到大家哦!

新托福口语考试模式，采取人机对话的考试模式，由于对托福口语考试模式的不熟悉，考生在考场上，常会结结巴巴。托福口语考试对考生流利度的要求还是相当高的。

练习是托福口语技巧中最重要的部分。消除了心理的说英语恐惧，也积累了一定的材料并总结出了自己的答题思路，这个时候就要通过实践自我考察了。

其次是准备因素，就是没有准备好要说什么内容。口语的题目涉及生活各个方面，笔者经常笑称这是对自己生活的一次大回顾、大反思。如果你没有准备，没有什么话可以说，最容易犯的错误就是重复刚才自己说的话，为自己争取时间想下面要说什么，正好犯了流利的大忌。

一般来说，参加口试的考生担心自己会紧张。其实第一阶段是很轻松，考官会理解你紧张的心情 ，同时托福口试的问题是由易到难，循序渐进的，因此考生很容易进入状态。很多学生考后的经验都是第一阶段一点都不紧张。最重要的是练习好心态的调整，在考试开始时的几分钟完全放松。这几分钟很关键，一旦出了错就会乱了方寸，丢失信心。一旦出错，心里也不要老是耿耿于怀，想着刚才的失利，因为下面还有机会让你补过。总而言之考试要求考生具备良好的心里素质，发挥出正常水平。

托福口语考的是一种思维结构模式，往往表现在在叙述时尽量对考题内容先总后分，单刀直入，这也是西方人习惯的表达方式。由一句主题句引出观点与中心，让考官能够清晰地得知叙述的主题，从而打下良好的基础。如果在考题中出现了问题，则应该开门见山地回答问题，切入主题，阐明自己的观点，从而为接下来的详细叙述理清层次以及节约时间，如果有多余的时间，则可以再增添一句总结的话语，使叙述详尽完整。

托福口语是一个很乏味的过程，除了反复口语练习和多记单词外没有任何捷径可走，只要考生有坚持到底的信念，每天做足练习，不要轻言放弃。只有坚持到最后，才能获得成功。

　6大原则让你的托福口语流利到底

1. 运用总分总的结构

Your listeners will understand your talk better if you organize what you say in a logical sequence or linear pattern. This means that you tell the listeners what you are going to talk about and then go through the points you want to make. The most common pattern of organization is outlined below:

Introductory statement

Point 1

Point 2

Point 3

Concluding statement

An example of this pattern is shown below:

Breeding butterflies has many advantages for the collector.

1. way of obtaining specimens

2. spares can be released into the wild

3. helps survival because butterflies have been protected from natural predators

The experience is a learning experience for the collector and a benefit to the species.

2. 运用连接词

Connecting ideas by using transition words and phrases tells your listeners the relationship of one idea to the next. You can signal to your listener that you are going to put events in a sequence, add information, or make a comparison. You can signal that you want to emphasize or clarify a point. Using transition words and phrases helps your listener follow the flow of your ideas. Read the following example without transitional expressions:

In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. I understood those principles better by doing those experiments.

These sentences would flow better if the speaker used transitional expressions as in the following example:

In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. As a result, I understood those principles better.

3. 解释或定义陌生概念

In order to help your listeners understand, you may need to define a term that you use in your response. Read the following example:

My hobby is telemark skiing.

If the speaker does not define the term and listeners do not know what telemark skiing is, they might not understand the rest of the passage. Sometimes listeners can guess the meaning through the context of the passage, but sometimes they cannot. Here is the definition this speaker gave of telemark skiing:

That means skiing using telemark skis.

Even though the speaker defined telemark skiing, listeners still may not understand what it means because the speaker defined the term with the same word. To effectively define a word, use a three-part definition:

1. State the word or phrase to be defined.

2. Give the category that the word or phrase fits into.

3. Tell how the word is different from other words that fit the same category.

Read this example of an effective definition:

Telemark is a type of alpine skiing in which the boots are connected to the skis only at

the toes, so traditional skiing techniques have to be modified.

4. 正确使用平行结构

Your listener can understand the flow of your ideas better if you use parallel structures when you speak. Read the following incorrect example:

My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivating the students.

The listener may be confused because the speaker has mixed different grammatical structures. Does the speaker mean My teacher gave interesting and motivating assignments to the students'? In this sentence, interesting and motivating are parallel adjectives. Or does the speaker mean My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivated the students? In this sentence, gave and motivated are parallel verbs.

5. 对关键词进行替换或同义转换

When a speaker keeps repeating a word or phrase, listeners can get confused. Read the following example:

My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. The assignment was on the chalkboard until the teacher erased the assignment after we had all done the assignment.

This speaker's ideas would be clearer if the repeated words were replaced with other expressions or with pronouns. Look at the way this example can be improved:

My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. She erased the board after we had all completed the task.

The word assignment has been replaced with task; the word teacher with she; and the word chalkboard with board.

6. 时态、人称和数量的统一

Your listener can get confused if you are not consistent. Look at the following example:

My teacher brought five paper bags to school one day. He put us into groups and gave each group a bag. You have to take the objects out of the bags in turn and then a person has to tell a story involving the object from the bag.

The listener may get confused by the change from the past tense to the present tense, and the change from us to you and then to a person. The listener might also be confused by the change from the plural form objects and bags to the singular forms object and bag.

The listener could follow this speaker's ideas better if the speaker were consistent. Look at the way this example can be improved:

One day my teacher put us into five different groups. He gave each group a bag and told us to take turns pulling out an object and telling the other members of the group a story involving that object.
