考生在托福口语考试中常见的问题

托福考试复习过程中，中国考生在参加托福口语考试时常见的问题有：

(1) 句子表达存在一些基本的语法错误，这样会直接影响的得分。

(2) 词汇量有限，直接关系到语言表达的多样性和丰富性。

疑问：

(1) 如果针对题目实在没有什么可说的，扩展不开，这样情况下该怎么办?

(2) 综合口语部分中，尤其是task6，涉及到专有名词定义，该如何正确把握?

实例1

Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.

My university is important for me, and I often go to there. First, I canlearnknowledge in my university. I canlearnmathematics and other subjects. Second, I cando many physics exercise. I can play football, basketball with my classmates. Finally, the environment in my university is perfect.Many trees and grass is in the campus. I feel relax when I go to the university. As a result, I go to my university often, because it is important for me.

解析

(1)W: Second, I can do many physics exercise.

R: Second, I can do many physical exercises.

说明：表示做运动的固定短语搭配：Do physical exercise= do physics. However, do physics exercise这种表达方式是不合适的。

(2)W: Many trees and grass is in the campus.

R: The trees are clustered here and there with grass on/ in the campus.

说明：这里需要说明的一点是实例中的表达方法并没有问题，只是欠缺生动，我们说口语陈述时并不要求象写作一样要写长难句，但是如果你整段口语都是使用简单句那也不太好，同样会影响你的得分。

(3)总评：可以看出这位托友对陈述内容的整体架构把握得还是很有层次和条理地，这要归功与过渡词(transitions or signal words)的正确使用，希望大家可以借鉴这一点;但是the weak point是陈述中learn的重复使用，如果拿acquire/ obtain和其替换使用，那样就会使表达丰富多彩一些。

实例2

Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?

I think thattakecourse in a variety of area is better for students. First, a variety of subjects can help students tobroaden views and open their minds. Students can take advantage in the future. Second, students can’t keep high motivation on a single subject. A variety of subject areas can make students have an effective understanding of knowledge. Thus I think it is better for students to take course in a variety of subject areas.
