托福口语对大陆的考生来说是一大难题,其实,考生在积累基础词汇的同时,还可以整理一些高分词汇及短语,为自己的托福口语加分。一个7分的词汇或短语,绝对能让你的托福口语分数UP,UP!
在口语的评分标准中,7分的词汇是这样的:
1. use vocabulary to discuss a variety of topics flexibly;
2. use some less common words and idiomatic vocabulary.
其中idiomatic vocabulary就是我们所讲的动词短语。其实没必要用得太多,在整个的十几分钟里,我们只需用那么6-7个地方,就基本上达到要求了。下面是我们常见的、也是学过的动词短语,把它们用起来吧!
