仔细研读有关的样题目,我们便会发现新托福的口语考试侧重考查考生的三种能力:描述能力,议论能力和虚拟场景下的交流能力。在整个口语试题的6个section中,一般会有两个section要求对某一指定话题进行描述,比如:
Describe a movie which you adore. In your response, you should
describe the most appealing part of the movie
explain why you love the movie, and had you been the director, how you could make it even more inviting
而同时会有另外的两个section用来侧重考查考生就某一话题发表见解、展开议论的能力。这一部分的考查往往在试题的问法和所涉及的题材方面或多或少地有些类似于传统托福的作文部分(TWE)。比如:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The cyberspace is harmful to human communication. Obsessive indulgence with the Internet makes people less and less sociable. Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
除此之外,还有另外的两个section,侧重于考查虚拟场景下的口语交流能力。比如考生将先听到一段模拟课堂presentation的听力材料,在充分理解材料内容的条件下回答有关的问题,或考生将先阅读一篇中等长度的文章,然后对文章内容做出复述或评价。在这两个部分中,新托福的题型更为全面地体现了听说读写四种基本技能的彼此贯通和相互交融。
由于对考生来说,这样的口语考试具有相当的挑战性,所以我们必须做充分而有针对性的考前准备,才能在口语部分的考试中有所作为。建议大家在准备过程中,可注重在如下的两个方面多下工夫:
一、 读音的准确与流畅
可选择速度适中的听力材料反复跟读,纠正发音,这是准备口语考试不可间断的每日练习。同时建议大家做到如下几点:
1) 多与英美籍的外教交流,请他指出自己发音存在的问题,如某些元音不到位、某些辅音含混不清,以及句子的语调等,请他反复矫正,自己针对弱点,刻苦练习,直到读准为止。
2) 可选择一本有音标的四、六级词汇书,最好配有磁带,反复跟读每个单词的读音,请特别注意不规则动词的各种变形后的读音和很多单词充当不同词性时的重音位置。
3) 每天还要泛听一些成段的听力材料,如VOA,CNN的资讯报道、名人演讲词(尤其推荐前总统Bill Clinton 和前副总统Al Gore的演讲),细心体会讲话的语气和语流。
