托福口语26+大神亲身体验分享！

TOEFL iBT 考了两次，第一次总分104，口语24；第二次总分110，口语26。（截图如下）虽然说不上什么大神分数，但对于短时间提升应试或许有所帮助.

大部分考生都把大把的时间投在了托福阅读和托福听力上，却忽视了口语这两项本应作为重点的东西。为啥呢？因为阅读和写作备考过程符合我们从小的习惯呀，符合中国特色考试呀~然而口语有着长期积累的特征，很多人也就认为怎么准备貌似都不怎么有成效，索性随缘了。其实事实并非如此，我的看法是这样的：

托福说白了还是考试，只要是考试就一定有规律可循，评分者一定有欣赏具有一类特征的答案的倾向（也就是我们所说的标准答案）

口语≠英语口才，他们都是一个个明码标价的题。口语也就是说你说到一个点就给一点的分（也就是我们所说的采分点）

下面我们详细说说怎么应试。

口语Speaking:

先说独立部分，很多考生在TASK 1和TASK 2拿fair甚至limited，究其原因就是不知道说啥。想想也是呢，考试的时候突然被丢给这么一个话题就让你用另一种语言说45s逻辑清晰用词准确的观点，貌似挑战性很大。但是，如果在考试前我们建立一个语料库，考试时我们直接从语料库抽取相关内容组合来答题，还会很难吗？没错，我就是在教你背段子！！！

我们来举个例子看看一个优质的段子怎么用。

每个考过托福的同学都知道Describe the city you live in这个题，那么我们就来答答这个题。

Beijing, China’s capital city, is a vibrant mix of history and modernity.

One of the major attractions in Beijing are the zigzagging hutongs, an integral part of Beijing’s local culture. Hutongs are actually small public alleys with private courtyard residences. Hutongs are like folk-custom museums, presenting a window into a traditional way of life intertwined with the old architectures and a maze of narrow streets.

The diversity and vitality of the city has also endowed Beijing with a varied and colorful night life. Lots of people choose to relax themselves in the bars. The numerous shows and performances, including Peking Opera and acrobatics, are attractive to lovers of live entertainment.

首先，这个段子的质量绝对是很棒的，语言足以秒杀一众I live in XXX的考生。其次，你以为这个段子只能回答这一个题么！倘若让你描述一下the best area of the city 或者 the area of your hometown you would reccommend to a tourist，这个段子不就又用上了吗？

再看一个有关travelling/moving/living in different places这类话题的例子：

I’d like to move around the world/ live in different places/ travel around world.

First, it’s a perfect way to meet new people and make new friends. Living in different places actually provides a platform on which I can extend my social network by socializing with people from distinct culture backgrounds. That would be fun and meaningful. For example, during my business trip to Germany last summer, I made friends with a bunch of locals and businessmen from European countries.

Moreover, moving around the world is an immensely enriching experience, through which I can have a glimpse of diverse cultures and enjoy exotically spectacular scenery out there. When I was in Germany, I was deeply fascinated by not only Gothic architectures and religion art but also palatable smoked pork and tasty beer. What a wonderful memory!

这一段可以用来回答那些题呢？据我不完全统计，托福里跟这类题有以下这一坨：

一个段子对付这一大堆题，是不是看到了可以调戏ETS的希望了！这样的段子背30-50个再上场，你就会发现好像独立口语部分想怎么说就怎么说。嗯，就是这么酸爽。
