2010年新托福口试提醒：语速不宜过快
Useful tips: (suitable for all questions)(对于任何题目都适用的小贴士)
1、Make it NATURAL, pauses, such as “well”, “um”, and “you know”, are advisable, but don’t do it too much.
2、CORRECT your mistakes as soon as you find out, for example, “... I really like standing in, I mean, ON the mountain,”(I know it’s a bad example. What I’m trying to clarify is that it is OK to make mistakes,but you gotta correct it once you made it.) so the examiner would not count down your score.
3、There is NO NEED to use freaking words, like “exonerate”, which means absolve, and “flamboyant”, which means showy. But those words are good to use in your essay.
4、The FIRST way, the LAST way, the NEVER FAILING way to develop self-confidence in speaking is--TO SPEAK.” --Dale Carnegie
新托福口语考试之独立口语部分
Independent speaking (Question 1 & 2)
In this section, you are asked to present your own opinion and provide examples to support your ideas.
Useful tips:
1、Your answer should be as SPECIFIC as possible. You need to stick to a point UNTIL you finish it, have done with it, and need never return to it again.
2、The key to score high is to make each point WELL-DEVELOPED, and that DOES NOT mean you need to make as much points as you can,two would be great.
3、Truth and REASONABLE LIES are totally acceptable.
DO NOT say “I have three(or whatever) reasons to support my idea”,or some thing like that after you state your opinion. There is no guarantee that you are able to finish your answer within 45 seconds.Instead, you can say “I have a couple of reasons to say.”
Question 1 Free-choice Independent Task
这道题完全照搬TSE的Recommending places题型，扩展到People, Activities(Events)和Objects。准备15秒，说45秒。
虽然是第一题，但确不是最简单的。理由：
(a)回答第一题比较紧张，因为刚进入口语，还没有进入状态，所以很容易因为紧张，就闷了。
(b)第一题的问题几乎没有什么提示，这里所谓的提示，指答案的提示。不像第2题，A or B是有提示的，回答A，B，甚至A+B都可以。所以第一题还可能卡在理由上，例子上。
第一题的出题范围分为四个方面：
1. 地点类(place)
ex: Describe your favorite placein the city and explain why you like thisplace. (2006/1/6) (2006/7/15)
2. 事情或活动类(event or activity)
ex: Describe the most importantdecision you have made in your life. (2005/12/2)
3. 人物类(person)
ex: Describe yourfavorite teacher and explain how this teacher influenced you.
4. 物体类(objects)
ex: Describe thebest/worst invention in the 20th century and explain how it affects your life.
1、要言之有物，不要空喊口号，客观表达!
2、要扣题评述，表达主观意见(正面)。
3、要以面带点，不可纵向深入，因为：
(1)铺开表达可以灵活搭配事先背诵的小点，不被具体题目限定。
(2)可以在句式结构上套用模板，沉着应对，并给人逻辑清晰的印象。
(3)可避免纵向层面语汇短缺所引起的错误表达。
(4)可避免不经意间走题。
Your answer can go like this:
“Personally, I would have to say that, um, my favorite ... is ... . And there are a couple of reasons to name. The most important thing is that, you know, ... . What’s more, ... . So that’s why ... .”
