托福独立口语对于考生们的逻辑能力以及语言组织能力的要求都是比较高的,那么接下来就和出国留学网来看看2020年托福独立口语开始主体段怎样展开?
独立口语
PART 1:major point中心论点
作为文章的核心内容,中心论点主要起到提纲挈领、概括段意的作用。
例如:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If parents want their children to do well at school, they should limit the time their children spend in watching TV. Use specific reasons and examples to Support your answer.
中心观点的论述:
If children spend too much time watching TV, their time for study will naturally be reduced. Hence, the limitation from parents is meaningful.
分析中心论点的主要内容:
1.因果关系以及对事物的影响。例如:…benefits…. Thus, I agree/disagree/prefer…
2.因为……好;所以……不好。例如:Because…. Thus, I agree/disagree/prefer…….
PART2:specific reasons具体的例证
例证主要是可以有逻辑地推出论点的思路和想法。Specific reasons are sentences which are different from the topic sentence and not the content of example, belong to specific reasons.例证有三个途径,分别是:解释说明、例证展开以及拓展延伸。当具体原因已经足够支撑本段,可以使用概括性的例子或者是不使用例子。
PART3:examples举例的方法
这里分享一下人物事例的举例方法,人物事例包括名人事例和个人事例。名人事例具有权威性、客观的特点;个人事例则具有亲切、主观的特点。例如:It is not surprising to find many coach potatoes in school. Peter, my classmate, is one of them. Watching TV too much has impaired his vision and he has to wear glasses now, which is not convenient for him to play basketball, his favorite sport activity.这个事例中运用了个人事例,例子是作者的同学。引用个人事例让人更有同感,也会觉得更加有说服力。但是,在使用的时候,一定要注意事例阐述的准确、简洁,不要车轱辘话一堆。如果没有适合题目的事例,也可以根据实际生活编造例子,但是要注意是有可能发生的事例。
PART4:conclusion总结段的写法
总结段主要是强调主题或总结结果。总结的结果一般是从中间部分得出的结论,而强调主题则是达到和首段呼应的效果,让整篇文章看起来更加紧凑。例如:To sum up, watching TV at will exerts negative influences on children; therefore, control from parents is indispensable.
口语结构
TASK 1&2
第一部分(1-2题):准备时间为15秒,考生答题时间为45秒。第1、2中的题目属于日常话题,这两道题本身难度比较小,所以考生特别需要注意的就是托福口语时间的分配问题,在这45秒的时间里,一般用5~6秒的时间完成topic sentence, 接下来的40秒时间内考生需要以每一个detail或者example不超过3-4句话的规律完成这个话题,也就是说考生需要大致20秒完成一个detail或example的表述。如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备,努力锻炼自己的托福口语思维,积累常用的details或examples,考试时就会从容许多。
TASK 3&4
第二部分(3-4题):准备时间30秒,考生答题时间为60秒。这部分考试内容主要是情景题和学术题。考生在阅读的时候要注意认真记录主题和所支撑的观点。同时在TASK 3&4的托福听力进行中,考生要把握好其重点环节,也就是题中人物的观点以及他支持或反对的理由。另外,考生在表述过程中,答题结构一定要清楚,在练习时建议使用计时软件,多锻炼几次才能在考试规定的时间范围内把要点说全、说清楚。
TASK 5&6
第三部分(5-6题):准备时间30秒,考生答题时间为60秒。最后的5、6道主要以听力材料为基础,要求考生回答相关问题。首先,考生掌控时间能力的强弱对这个部分成绩的高低至关重要。前两道考题的准备时间为15秒,考生回答时间为45秒;3、4考题的准备时间为30秒,考生回答时间则为60秒;最后两道题目的考生准备时间为20秒,考生回答时间为60秒。大部分考生在这一环节都反映口语部分的准备时间利用效率低而且作答比较仓促。
