託福口語應試訣竅:轉換原則

我深深知道,中國學生缺乏大量的語言環境,在僅有15至30秒的準備時間內要完美地做到以上幾點是基本不可能的。那麼,是不是要因爲一個小小的口語考試就放棄我們在加州的陽光下散步的權利呢?當然不會!既然我們不能依賴於現場發揮,那麼就通過平時準備,來大大減低現場難度要求。其核心就是——轉化原則,在充分領會轉化原則的基礎上,創建自己的模板,以精練的短句,清楚的表達爲主。

獨立口語題破解(一)

新託福口語考試六大題型中的第一種是問你一個你所熟悉的人、地方、東西或者事件,你需要在回答中加入具體的例子和細節。例如:

choose a place you like and explain why you like this place.

請看看老師是怎麼回答的:

Well, the place I enjoy the most is a small town located in France. I like this small town because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

Of course I like this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship.

看出奧妙來了嗎?

1、這個回答裏用的'全部是口語化的短句子;

2、按照正常的語速唸完正好是45秒;

3、出現了多處非常具體的細節描寫(得分點)。

4、有景色描寫(beach)、有人物(French girls)、有事件(make friends),有具體事物(a watch)。爲何如此設計,等一下就會講到。

然後讓我們換一個題目再看看,還是用這些內容怎麼進行回答:

 題目:

Choose a restaurant you like and explain why you like this restaurant

參考答案:

Well, the restaurant I enjoy the most is a French restaurant located on a beautiful beach. I like this small restaurant because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

Of course I like this small French restaurant also because it offers the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I made friends with some gorgeous French girls in that restaurant. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship.

在新託福口語考試中,本題型能夠涉及到的範圍包括事件、人物、具體事物和地方。現在你是不是開始有些明白爲什麼袁老師的口語模板要包括人、地、事、物?然後我們再來做一些難度稍大的擴展訓練,看看轉化原則是怎麼能夠幫助我們以不變應萬變。

Choose an important event/ a favorite activity and give reasons explaining why this event is important/ why this activity is your favorite. 從抽象的事物轉化成具體的景色描寫

Well, one very important event in my life/my favorite activity is a little trip to France. I like this trip so much because we visited a small French town. The town has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

Of course I like this little trip to France also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship.

注意一定要有兩到三句轉化句,也叫點題句,即在文中標註出的句子。

擴展訓練:

ribe one object that is of special value to you and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.

se a teacher you like and explain why you like him or her. Include specific details in your statement.

yone has a goal to fulfill. What’s your goal and explain why you want to fulfill this goal. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.

參考答案:

, the object of special value to me is a little watch. 點題,複述原題 the watch was designed for women and one of my French girlfriends gave it to me as a souvenir of our friendship. This little watch is of very special meaning to me because it always reminds me of those days I spent in a beautiful French town located by the beach. My watch is deep blue, as blue as the charming ocean view on the beach. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

The most important, I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them gave me this little watch as a gift. I cherish the watch just as much as we cherish our friendship.

, the teacher I admire so much is a gorgeous French lady. She was from a beautiful French small town located by the beach. She has very charming deep blue eyes, as blue as the ocean view on the beach. I admire her so much because she is not only a teacher to me but also a very good friend. Last summer, she invited me to travel to her hometown. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

Also, she brought me to some restaurants offering the best seafood such as lobsters and tuna fishes. Finally, she gave me a little watch as the souvenir of our friendship.

3. Ever since I was a kid, I had a dream to travel to France. My parents told me that there is a little French town located by the beach. It has very charming ocean view. They told me the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.

Of course I want to travel to this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, there is a good chance to make friends with some gorgeous French girls.

同學們請謹記一點,這個模板只是給大家一個參考思路,每個人都要根據自己的具體情況變換模板中的內容,並固定成自己的語言,在地點、事件、人物、事物四個方面多做轉化練習。
