那針對兩種考試，我們要注意什么呢？
1.時間。
無論是新托福口語考試還是雅思口語考試，考生掌控時間能力的強弱對成績有著直接影響。新托福口語考試對時間的要求更高一些。因為答題時間最多不超過1分鐘。但是需要表達的信息卻不能少。如第1、2中的題目屬于日常話題，這兩道題本身難度比較小，所以特別需要注意的就是時間的分配問題，在這45秒鐘里，一般用5~6秒完成主題句。接下來的15-20給出一個支持觀點和細節。然后用同樣的時間給出第二個。因此如果考生能在考前進行充分的準備，積累常用的細節或者事例，考試的時候就會從容許多。
而雅思口語考試除了第一部分以外，第二、三部分的時間掌控主要體現在答案結構的安排。我們不能具體到每個細節用多少時間。但是除了開頭和結尾的30秒外，每一個小點應該安排30-35秒左右。每一個小點如何能講出更多的信息，如何使你的表達聽起來更專業，更地道，更符合西方國家的文化習慣，是我們在考試中需要時刻記住的。其實雅思口語和新托福口語考試最大的不同在于雅思口語的單個題目答題時間比托福口語的時間要長。這就要求雅思口語的答題中細節要更加細致。其次是雅思口語考試的答案都是主觀題，而新托福口語考試的綜合任務大部分都是重述題目中已經給定的內容，聽力的能力在新托福口語考試中至關重要。
2. 細節的細致程度。
我們來看2009年5月30日雅思口語第一部分的一個真題：Which room do you like most ? 這個題目在2008年的新托福口語第一道任務中也出現過。我們先來看一個新托福3.5~4(exccellent)分的答案：：(45秒、8句)The room I like most is defnitely my own bedroom, because I decorated it myself. My mom was so kind that she allowed me to chooes all the staff that I wanted to adnore my room, like the pink bed, the pink curtains as well as a gorgeous pink book shelf. What’s more, it is also a trustworthy friend of mine. It would remian bright even I burnt the midnight oil; it would play Marseillaise if I felt hopless and it always turns the cold shoulder to me when I make mistakes. I like my room most not only because of it is attractive by appreance, but also sincere inside。
我們看見，托福口語的答案有了細節和理由，加上完整的結構和正確的語法就可以了。但是雅思口語的第一題都是簡答題。因此簡單回答重點即可。如： it of course is my bedroom, because I decorated it myself and it is a good friend to share happines and woes。但是倘若這道題目出現在第二個部分中，答案這樣是不夠的。從時間上來講，細節應該更加細致才能有足夠的內容說。從內容上來說，更應注意表達的多樣性。從表達上來講，應該注意和考官的眼神交流。
我們來看一個7.5分的口語表達：(最好2分鐘)There are a lot of rooms I like to stay in when I am at home, but among all these, I think my bedroom is on the tip of my tongue when you ask me such question. Well, I am the Chief desginer of my room and I took care of almost all the decoration purchase. I have brought all the pink staff home: the pink Bohimian bed, the pink wood book shelf as well as the pink lace curtains with a lot triangle patterns on them. I am such a huge fan of pink. Another point I would like to mention here is the loyality my bedroom represents to me. I always stay late due to a lot of assignment, but my room never has any complian. What’s more, it is always the last one to hit the hay. My bedroom is also very inspiring that it keeps playing Marseillaise if I encounters setbacks. The last point of my friend is that it blames me when I make mistakes. Like once, I had an argument with my mom because she refused to buy a new shirt for me. When I locked myself inside my room, I found the wall turns its shoulder to me that it looks white. I felt loney and regreting that probably I should not be such gready guy. That’s probably why I feel like falling in love with my tiny but fantastic bedroom.
