0基础的托福同学们究竟该怎样有效的去练口语呢?这是一个值得深思的问题,今天小编就为大家分享两个秘籍,赶紧一起来看看吧!
1.创造语言环境
说到语言环境,很多人肯定以为就是看美剧、听英文广播、看英文小说、看英语新闻等,而实际上这是一个输入过程,仅仅只是在接触英语,是不完整的!
如果想要创造一个完整的英语环境,怎么能只有听和读呢?要知道,输入和输出是相辅相成的,听、读和想、说要变成一系列连贯动作。
所以我们在平常学习生活中,要保持一种双语的思维模式。当然,我们还得有足够的ideas。我们就以工作这个话题为例(可讨论可自己想):什么样的工作才算是好工作?
你可以这么想:有人喜欢工作well-paid,secure,有人则更看重challenging,exciting,认为那样的工作才worthwhile,rewarding。有没有free time,公司是否提供较好的pension benefit,medical benefit,working condition,和colleague是否相处融洽也都是很多人在择业前考虑的因素。可一个工作也总有不让人满意的地方,如果工作太demanding,职员会感到它stressful。又或者这个工作boring,dangerous,要不就是工人们必须在difficult environment中工作,都会造成负面的情绪。
所以,我们在谈论工作的时候可以说:Money is good,but I want a job which is also rewarding in other ways.It shouldn’t be boring like some other jobs,and there should be always something unexpected.Thus I’ll feel I am doing something worthwhile。
2.拓展知识
那么除了语言环境的创造,在某些话题的论述上容易犯“幼稚病”也是一个很严重的问题!其主要原因还是自己对于该领域的陌生所导致。
还就工作这个话题来说,由于很多人还是学生,对工作不甚了解,所以无法很好的回答这方面问题。而就托福口语考查趋势来看,社会类、政府类话题逐渐增多,这些陌生的领域以后会越来越多,如果不让自己了解更多、积累更多背景知识的话,以后只会出现更多问题。
所以,做好一些背景知识的补充,先去了解一些相关的知识,就显的尤为的重要!
比如,我们应该去了解一些常见的岗位,和不同岗位的职责。如对各种岗位职责的描述:
Chief Executive Officer:
I have to supervise and know about what’s going on in all the different parts of the company.I have to represent the company in all important decisions.
Finance Manager:
I am a qualified accountant and a member of the management team.I monitor my company’s financial performance,as well as supervising the budgets for various projects and controlling their costs.
Human Resources Manager:
My job is around the development and training of the managers in the store where I work,and making sure they do their jobs well.Also,I’m responsible for the recruitment of new staff.
Marketing Consultant:
I give advice about all sorts of different things connected with food,such as advice on how to market it,developing new recipes;I also write articles about it.
……
此外,我们在论述的时候,还可以结合一些时代的特色,比如在谈论工作时,我们可以谈论现代工作的工作节奏很快,员工们不得不为heavy workload拼命,很容易feel tired,feel fatigued等
又或者可以在论述的时候,跳出个人见解来从一个更高的角度谈论一种社会现象,这样就可以使我们的回答的立意更高远(当然,不要太空泛),也就很容易摆脱“幼稚病”了,比如在谈论工作时,我们还可以如是回答:
Nowadays the pace of work has increased beyond people’s expectations.They are usually overwhelmed with the heavy workload and feel tired.Overwork will result in stress-related illness,such as high blood pressure and ulcer.Employees will give very poor performance in their work。
