托福口語是托福考試中比較難把握的一塊,很多自我感覺良好的同學卻沒有拿到很高的托福口語成績,到底是什么原因?下面小編就幾個托福口語真實案例來分析一下托福口語失分的原因,希望對大家的新托福口語練習有幫助。
實例1
The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman's problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.
Sample answer1
Mary has cancelled the three day's trip. And she thought she would have no chance, so she promised Professor Clark to help the museum exhibition. And nowadays there is a chance for Mary to enter the trip. She must choose one place to go, the museum or the trip? I think Mary should help Professor Clark for the museum exhibition at first. Because she promised the professor and this is her job now. If she couldn't finish the job until Wednesday, she should give up the trip because she must perform. her promise.
解析
(1) 從上面的陳述中我們不難看出這位托友并沒有很清楚地且很正確地把握題目要求,這是一個致命的缺點,這樣就使題干沒有發揮它應有的指標性綱領的使用價值。就這道題的題干而言,它很明確地告訴大家答題順序,具體分為三個步驟:1,Describe the problem and the two solutions; 2,explain what you think the woman should do;3,why.因為托友沒有按照題目建議的答題順序作答,所以整體聽起來沒有層次。
(2) 重要信息遺漏,造成題目回答走偏或者可以說是跑題的問題。Listening Materials中很清楚地說明Mary面臨兩個選擇:First, short trip; Second, to help Professor Clark to set up the museum exhibition.同樣她有兩個solutions: First, to finish the task before Wednesday; Second, She finds someone else to replace her to help Professor Clark to set up the museum exhibition.按照材料中所透露的信息,我想聽后大家100%會選擇第一個方案,因為它兩全其美!這樣Mary在既遵守諾言的同時還可以去參加短期旅行,一舉兩得!而很顯然作者遺漏了其中一個solution,所以致使其偏離了主題!
實例2
Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of money presented by the professor.
Sample answer2
From the professor's speech, we can see two definitions of money. Money is papers, bills, and coins, just like people use everyday. On the other side, money is anything that people can use to make purchase with. Money has different forms, like goods or something else, just like the examples of the speech. We give 5 dollars to the tax driver for a ride. And the tax driver gives them to the farmer for some vegetables. And in the process, money is a just tool for the exchange. So money is not money only. Money can have its widely use.
解析
(1) 這道題和上面兩道題不一樣的地方是:這位托友很好地把握了題干要求,但是對這類型題目的完美把握上還欠缺一些。
(2) 我們要清楚地明白IBT的Integrated Speaking之Task6這種題目一般難度很高,它只提供一篇lecture,然后要求你對其中的信息進行概述,并不要求發表個人意見,這一點請大家一定要注意了,不要畫蛇添足或者多此一舉!
(3) 此類型題一般會對一個專有名詞進行定義,那么不要求大家照搬原材料中的定義,可以用自己的理解來定義!就本題而言,這位托友并沒有明確提出材料中的高頻關鍵詞:the narrow definition of money and the broad definition of money,還有沒有對狹義貨幣定義進行很好的說明:The narrow definition of money might be the legal tender whatever is in the society and whatever has to be suspected as the payment.
