托福口语总是不当心说出中式英语怎么办?时间不够说不完如何解决?今天小编给大家带来了详解托福口语练习时经常遇到的3个问题及解决方案,希望能够帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。

详解托福口语练习时经常遇到的3个问题及解决方案

1、托福口语需要高大上的单词跟句型么，说中式英语怎么办?

这个问题，一定是很多口语学习者的疑问。口语不是写作。美国人日常交流与校园生活用语其实都颇简单，一个句子10个单词以内，用词贴切自然，语法更是常用。如果大家半信半疑，大可打开美剧或Ellen show这样的成熟的美国节目，一定不会失望的。

所以，小编建议同学们，用对的词好过高大上的词，正确的使用语法，好过专研并使用些不常在口语中出现的语法。例如，她说话尖酸刻薄。很多同学会去有道：tart, sarcastic.这两个词立刻出现。其实She has a sharp tongue. sharp tongue 简单地道。大家学习口语应该多关注口语表达。这样也能很快的破掉你的中式英语思维的症状。至于语法，大家学得已经非常多了，但能否在口语中表达正确，适当的增加语法的多样性跟灵活性是大家要去控制并实践的。

2、人机对话时间有限，常常说不完答案怎么办?

iBT，internet-Based Test, 计算机考试，并且对着话筒说口语，恐怕是很多饱受中国传统教育的学生最难适应的一点。其实，可以把这个口语考试想得很简单，类似于你在电话上跟朋友聊天，只是这个朋友不太爱说话，通常只问问题，并且希望你滔滔不绝让他开心。如果这样想，考试的本身就变简单了。同学们如果能将自己的通话录音，再回放，这个考试的心理防线基本上就能突破。

当然，菜鸟成大虾，蜕变过程需要计时训练，策略性安排答案。譬如，在口语阅读+听力+口语的综合题目中，建议学生答案安排到秒：阅读总结15-20秒，听力总结45-40秒。对于时间和实践的结合，当然要通过夜以继日的练习了。因为同学们要清楚知道，说不完答案，你的等级不会到GOOD。鉴于考试评分越趋严格，在有限的时间内完成回答是非常必要的

3、话题广泛综合能力要求很高，平时该如何下手?

的确，托福口语，考察大家的英语能力的多个方面：听说读写基本上都能零死角涉及。这也是为什么口语过关的同学基本上其它部分表现也不会差。大家也不必担心，你们在学习托福时，这四个技能也是在同时提升的。

话题广泛相较而言，对学生来说是一个更棘手的问题。尤其是独立问题，虽然考察的内容都是关于学生的个人，话题基于经验，但广泛度还是很有难度。这道题目的准备时间为15秒，作答时间为45秒。对于一个成年人来说，想要在15秒内破题，45秒中全面展现观点，拿中文来陈述，难度都很大，更何况用英文。

因此，基于这样的一个考试形式，建议学生还是能系统的进行学习与归纳。大家可以多准备一些所谓“万能”理由或者“以一敌百”的学习资料。同时，小编也建议各位同学能大量训练自己的快速思考能力。即使遇到难题，也是有基础，有方法去的。

1. Why Watch Television?

Matthew: Television is undoubtedly a great invention, but one of the main criticisms of it is that people just aren’t selective enough. Lesley, you’ve got a television; how do you pick out the sorts of programmes you want to watch?

Lesley: I try and look at the programmes that are on to decide which particular ones interest me, rather than you turning it on at seven o’clock and you leaving it on until half-past eleven when the programmes finish.

Matthew: Do you think of television though as a great time-waster?

Lesley: I think it can be a time-waster and it depends on how particular people are about what they want to see...Mm, it can just be a sort of total amusement for someone and totally consuming without really considering what it is they’re watching.

Matthew: Aha, but how do you prevent it coming into your life and taking over your evenings and at the same time perhaps get... get out of the television some of the sort of best things... best programmes that ... that undoubtedly are on television?

Lesley: Well, I suppose one of the problems is... will depend on what a person’s life style is, and that if he has other outside interests which are equally important to him as television, he will then, you know, mm... be more careful about which programmes he wants to watch because he has time which he wants to use for other things.

Matthew: Do you think though that ... that in... in a sense television has killed people’s own er...sort of, creativity or their ability to entertain themselves because if they’re bored all they do is just turn on the television?

Lesley: Yes, I think that is a danger, and I think that... in fact is what is happening to a lot of people who use it as their ... their main ... um field of amusement and ... because they don’t have other outside interests and even when people come round they’ll leave the television on and not be, you know, particularly interested in talking to them, you know the television will be the main thing in the room.

Matthew: Peter, have you a television?

Peter: I have, in fact I’ve got two televisions.

Matthew: Do you watch them a lot?

Peter: Er...no I ...I watch very seldom er... In fact, I find that I watch television most when I’m working which requires nothing of me, then I watch television a lot. When I’ve got more energy left...um ...in my own private time, then I find I do more different things. I do things like um reading, or going out, or working on anything ...my hobbies.

Matthew: Do you think though that people can live a perfectly happy life if they haven’t got a television?

Peter: Oh yes, I think people who don’t have a television or people who don’t watch television can be expected to be more happy. You can assume I think if they never watch television they are happier people than the people who watch a lot of television, because I think that television goes with the kind of life which leaves you with nothing to spare, nothing left, you have to be given potted, passive entertainment.

Matthew: But in that case you...you seem as though you’re completely against television, is that true?

Peter: No, it’s not. I ...I have a television in fact, I have two as I said, but er I ... I ... I think there’s a dilemma, a difficult situation. Television in itself is very good; a ... a lot of the information and a lot of the programmes are very instructive, they introduce you to things you may never have though of before or never have hard about before. But in watching, it makes you very passive; you sit for hour after hour and you get very receptive and very unquestioning and it seems to me the important thing in life is to be active, to ... to do things, to think things and to be as creative as possible, and television prevents this.

III Consider

Is It Good for Students to Have Part-time Jobs?

Text

School Part-timers

More and more high school students in Beijing are turning their minds to ways of making money.

They are capitalizing on opportunities such as one group of students who went to the front gate of the Children’s Centre in the East District of Beijing when a film studio was there conducting auditions(1).

The group sold the young hopefuls(2) application forms at five fen a piece after getting the forms from the center for free.

Young entrepreneurs are also capitalizing on high demand commodities not always available away from the big shopping centres(3). Birthday or greeting cards are an example. One department store estimated that 80 per cent of its sales of cards are to students for resale.

Xia Li, a junior high school student at Fengtai District in the southwest region of the capital, spent 40 yuan buying cards from downtown shops just before the last Spring Festival.

She sold them at her school and schools nearby at prices 15 to 20 per cent higher than what she had paid. In a month, she earned 100 yuan, representing a 250 per cent return on her initial investment.

A senior high school student who had been selling cards has now become an amateur wholesale dealer(4). His wholesale price is 8 per cent higher than his purchasing price and 10 per cent lower than the retail price(5). Within two months, the had earned several hundred yuan in profits.

Many students have merged their activities to avoid price wars.(6) For example, in an area with few State-owned shops and far from the city center, student union heads from the schools there have reached an agreement on card prices. The agreement says prices may be higher than at the downtown shops but lower than at the peddlers’ stalls.

Card-selling is just a beginning. Some students turn their eyes to other more profitable ventures.

Take one senior high school sophomore who has developed a flourishing business selling photos of famous people. He even has his own name card that reads: The High School Student Corporation Ltd of Exploitation of New Technology(7).

The student carries a portfolio(8) of the photos around with him in an album to show his young customers. He offers a wide variety of photos, from American movie star Sylvester Stallone in Rambo pose to Taiwan’s famous singer Qi Qin(9).

"These all depend on my high quality camera," he boasts and explains how he clopped the pictures from magazines, photographed them and then developed the prints into various sizes. He has sold hundreds. Another student is mow an amateur salesman for a company and earns a three per cent commission(10) on each sale.

When he had earned 300 yuan through his own efforts, he said, "I feel that I have really become an adult."
