Second, I made a lot of friends through this project. When I back to China, we often email each other about some problems we meet in class. 好了,以上就是 4 个主题,我当时准备第一题的全部内容。休息下,再来第二题,第二题比较简单,相对好准 备,到时候给大家一个思路就好了,而且一二是有联系的。 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 Question 2: Q2 相对于 Q1 来说, 好回答的多。Q2 的问题是:A or B, why?或者 do or not do? 再或者 A,B,C...which one prefer? 所以基本上答案就已经在问题中了。 所以对于回答 Q2,充分利用题干的提示,迅速作出选择,其实一旦做了选择,问题就又回到 Q1 的解答方法 17 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 了。 下面看几个真题: (1) 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用,选择其中之一并解释原因 这是 A or B (2)Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? 这是 do or not do (3)媒体(TV, Internet….)和人(朋友,家长,同学)从哪方面你能学到更多的东西? 这是 A,B,C...which one prefer? 回答技巧: (1) 迅速选择,不要犹豫,这个题目回答没有对错,能自圆其说就好。 (2)一旦选择,回答得思路可以回到 Q1,句型,结构可以用一样的。 (3) 当缺少理由时,可以用正面,反面回答得方法,可以充实理由库 ex: Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? 态度:应该 理由 1:有助于培养学生的想象力 理由 2:(如果想出来正面理由)如果不上 music and art 的坏处:学生缺少想象力 这样一来,把一个理由分两个用。 (4) 建议用作文的题库来练习, 选上述 3 种问法的题目来练,既能复习作文,也能练习口语。把 185 里面的题 目挑出来反复练习就可以了。 (5) Q1 和 Q2 不是没有关系的,Q1 准备的内容很多时候能用在 Q2 的题目上,所以多多练习,这样可以缩小准 备的内容,争取把这些内容弄得滚瓜烂熟。 Question 3 这道题通常是关于 university policies, rules or procedures; university plans; campus facilities or quality of life on campus 的一些新的变化,对话中的一个人支持或者反对这个变化,并且给出理由,题目的要求就是复述其中 一人的观点并且列举出这个人的理由(注意:不能说自己的观点!)。问题类似于“State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion”。读 40-45 秒(75-100 words),听 60-80 秒,准备 30 秒,说 60 秒。 答题原则: 1、对话题型重要原则:重点听一个人的观点 2、基本上对话结构是 Q&A,总是针对 A 来设计题目。 3、概括记录,以最佳复原效果为准。 (1)可用符号甚至中文,但确保不会换用“关键词”。 (2)关键句阅读时可预见,内容预先记下,态度非正即反,不要靠当时具体去听,只标+,-号。 (3)Supporting points 可标上数码,至少可以心理安慰。 (4)细节列举可放过,特别不要在细节列举遇到生词时懊恼抓狂。 其实这个题目比较好回答,基本上 reading passage 就可以判断出很多内容,如到底是 notice, message, proposal, 迅速找到关键词,内容究竟讲什么。听得时候重点听态度和支持或者反对的理由。 模版见下:(该模版非原创) In the reading material, There is a/an announcement/message/notice/proposal about ****(填入记下的关键词) The university/college is going to****(稍稍展开下) In the listening material, Two students discuss about the***(填入关键词) The man/woman is against/supporting the*** 18 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 He or she feels unhappy/less satisfied about*** thinks the*** is unfair/inconvenient/unaffordable for the following reasons: First, he thinks/says**** Also, he points out that**** Question 4 读和听一段学术方面(life science, social science, physical science, and the humanities)的文章,the reading passage 一般是概括和抽象的学术语言,the lecture 给出具体的例子、反例或者应用。题目一般是要求“apply the more general information you have learned in the reading to the examples discussed in the lecture”。读 40-45 秒(75-100 words),听 60-80 秒,准备 30 秒,说 60 秒。 此题型细分为两种题型: 1、二元正负类:阅读材料中的关键句之一有两个对称并列的概念性词语(切记:通常是动词!) (1)在阅读材料中找到两个关键词,听力材料必然围绕这两个关键词展开。 (2)在听力中迅速判断两大关键词的正负性质。 (3)根据两大关键词的正负性展开相关内容。 关于这个类型,我考试的时候没有碰到,平常做题也没有注意,大家可以留意下。 2、描述举例类:阅读材料中的关键句之一对文章题目进行描述,如果不是定义句,此关键句经常在定义句附 近。 (1)阅读时记下描述性的关键句,如果临近定义句,同时记下定义句。 (2)听到并记下举例内容,特别是与关键句匹配的信息。 (3)根据具体例子反推验证关键句,如阅读时未确定,则在听力中迅速判断,从两句中选中一句。 (4)整合阅读与听力笔记,套用句型,准备答题。 这个题型,是我复习的关键,幸运的是考试的时候也是这个题型。 我简单地展开下如何作笔记: reading passage: 主要记下抽象的词,和具体的定义;原理,和具体原理的内容等 listening passage: 主要记所举的 example, study, or research,注意这些和抽象的定义和原理的挂钩。 下面只介绍题型二的模版: 类型一: The reading passage: definition Listening passage: examples, study, research 模版: The reading passage gives the definition of……(关键的抽象词) XXX is…… (定义的内容) In the listening passage, the professor goes on to demonstrate it by introducing some researches/examples. This first is……(最后一句注意挂钩) The second is……(同样挂钩) 类型二: The reading passage: the phenomenon / the problem/the process /some functions/some features Listening passage: research, analysis... 模版: the reading passage describes the phenomenon / the problem/the process /some functions/some features(关键的抽象 词) XXX is……(定义的内容) 19 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 In the listening passage, the professor goes on to demonstrates it by introducing some researches /analyses This first is……(最后一句注意挂钩) The second is……(同样挂钩) 类型三: The reading passage: a conception held by/the principle/ the application/the cause/the effect Listening passage: specific aspects 模版: The reading passage introduces a conception held by/the principle/ the application/the cause/the effect In the listening passage argues/indicates several specific aspects of The first*** is The second *** is reading passage 和 listening passage 大致就是以上的范围,大家还可以细分,练习的时候好好体会,再总结下。 Question 5 这道是 Problem and Solution(P&S)题。一般是关于 campus-relate discussion,两个人讨论 a problem and two possible solutions. The problem 一般是关于 scheduling conflicts, unavoidable absences, unavailable resources, student elections, financial difficulties, and so forth. 题目要求是“briefly describe the problem that was discussed in the conversation and to state which of the two solutions you prefer, and finally to explain why you prefer that solution”,其中的 reason 可以是材料中提到的,也可以是自己的类似经历。听 60-90 秒,准备 20 秒,说 60 秒。 1、Problem 往往不是单纯的,而是复杂矛盾的,分几个回合说完。 2、Solutions 针对 Problem 不同层面提出,注意提炼中心句。关切性的话可以略去。 3、问题不用听!每次都一样!省下 10-15 秒整理笔记。 4、答题时不要忘记给出自己的 Solutions,想不出来就选择一个 S 提出的方案或把 S 提出的各种办法按照轻重 缓急排序,形式上不可缺少! 模版: In the conversation, the man/women has a problem with his/her schedule/report/essay /study(听得时候判断到底是哪 方面的问题) He or she couldn’t get/check out/afford ***(问题具体化) He/she needs to*** The woman/man/professor/officer gives him/her two solutions/options 基本上是 2 个 solution: The first solution/option is(概括,不用具体化) Another suggestion the professor/woman gives is(概括,不用具体化) And I think the second choice is preferable for the following reasons: (自己的建议)First, the woman may confront the same problem in the future, it is better for her to handle it now and gain some helpful experiences. Also, I have once faced the same situation as the woman does, and I*** 这两个理由比较容易套,背熟就好了 第 5 题很简单,背熟以上模版,考试的时候套就可以了。 Question 6 这道题是 Summary 题。听一段学术方面 (life science, social science, physical science(自然科学), and the humanities)的 lecture,问题一般是“explain the main concept or issue of the lecture, using points and examples that were given in the lecture”。听 60-90 秒,准备 20 秒,说 60 秒。 这个题目非常讲究条理,基本上,先会总结下要讲的内容(也就是会中心句),然后分为几个层次讲,做笔记 20 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 的时候要注意层次清楚。 In the lecture, the professor discusses/argues/demonstrates *** in several points/aspects First, he says that *** and he gives an example of *** Second, he mentioned that *** and he shows some data/researches about *** Finally, he discusses that *** 好了,以上是 6 个题目的模版和分析,比较粗糙,这也是偶第一次写那么多东西,希望大家谅解。很多东西不 是原创,是集杂家之所长。 新托福口语考试得分标准: 1、详细具体(空洞的形容词和花哨的句子结构不能得分); 2、词汇量和语法现象要多; 3、规定时间内尽可能说快一点,多说一点,信息量大一点。我深深知道,中国学生缺乏大量的语言环境,在 仅有 15 至 30 秒的准备时间内要完美地做到以上几点是基本不可能的。那么,是不是要因为一个小小的口语考 试就放弃我们在加州的阳光下散步的权利呢?当然不会!既然我们不能依赖于现场发挥,那么就通过平时准备, 来大大减低现场难度要求。其核心就是——转化原则,在充分领会转化原则的基础上,创建自己的模板,以精 练的短句,清楚的表达为主。 独立口语题破解(一)新托福口语考试六大题型中的第一种是问你一个你所熟悉的人、地方、东西或者事件, 你需要在回答中加入具体的例子和细节。例如:choose a place you like and explain why you like this place.请看看 袁老师是怎么回答的:Well, the place I enjoy the most is a small town located in France. I like this small town because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. Of course I like this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship. 看出奥妙来了吗? 1、这个回答里用的全部是口语化的短句子; 2、按照正常的语速念完正好是 45 秒; 3、出现了多处非常具体的细节描写(得分点)。 4、有景色描写(beach) 、有人物(French girls)、有事件(make friends),有具体事物(a watch)。为何如此设计, 等一下就会讲到。 然后让我们换一个题目再看看,还是用这些内容怎么进行回答:题目:Choose a restaurant you like and explain why you like this restaurant 参考答案:Well, the restaurant I enjoy the most is a French restaurant located on a beautiful beach. I like this small restaurant because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. Of course I like this small French restaurant also because it offers the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I made friends with some gorgeous French girls in that restaurant. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship. 在新 托福口语考试中,本题型能够涉及到的范围包括事件、人物、具体事物和地方。现在你是不是开始有些明白为 什么袁老师的口语模板要包括人、地、事、物?然后我们再来做一些难度稍大的扩展训练,看看转化原则是怎 么能够帮助我们以不变应万变。Choose an important event/ a favorite activity and give reasons explaining why this event is important/ why this activity is your favorite. 从抽象的事物转化成具体的景色描写 Well, one very important event in my life/my favorite activity is a little trip to France. I like this trip so much because we visited a small French town. The town has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, 21 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. Of course I like this little trip to France also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship. 注意一定要有两到三句转化句,也叫 点题句,即在文中标注出的句子。扩展训练:1.Describe one object that is of special value to you and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.2.Choose a teacher you like and explain why you like him or her. Include specific details in your statement.3.Everyone has a goal to fulfill. What’s your goal and explain why you want to fulfill this goal. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.(在看下面的参考答案之前,请自己先用转化原则处理一下上面的题目。这几个题目是袁老师精心 收集的仿真题,仿真度可以达到 90%以上,同学们要好好利用)参考答案:1. Well, the object of special value to me is a little watch. 点题,复述原题 the watch was designed for women and one of my French girlfriends gave it to me as a souvenir of our friendship. This little watch is of very special meaning to me because it always reminds me of those days I spent in a beautiful French town located by the beach. My watch is deep blue, as blue as the charming ocean view on the beach. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. The most important, I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them gave me this little watch as a gift. I cherish the watch just as much as we cherish our friendship. 2.Well, the teacher I admire so much is a gorgeous French lady. She was from a beautiful French small town located by the beach. She has very charming deep blue eyes, as blue as the ocean view on the beach. I admire her so much because she is not only a teacher to me but also a very good friend. Last summer, she invited me to travel to her hometown. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. Also, she brought me to some restaurants offering the best seafood such as lobsters and tuna fishes. Finally, she gave me a little watch as the souvenir of our friendship.3. Ever since I was a kid, I had a dream to travel to France. My parents told me that there is a little French town located by the beach. It has very charming ocean view. They told me the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. Of course I want to travel to this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, there is a good chance to make friends with some gorgeous French girls. 同学们请谨记一点,袁老师提供的这个模板只是给大家一个参考思路,每个人都要根据自己的具体情况变换模 板中的内容,并固定成自己的语言,在地点、事件、人物、事物四个方面多做转化练习。如果只是一味的机械 照搬,只能产生一种戏剧化的结果:ETS 的老头子们会惊讶的发现原来所有的中国女孩都爱美丽的法国女郎; 所有的中国男孩子一辈子的梦想就是到法国乡下的小酒馆里等人送手表! IBT考完之今已经快2两个月,由于中间准备6G考试,一直没有机会写一点自己考后的感想及对后人有帮 助的东西。在此之前有几点先说明下: (a)我不是传说中的牛人,但是个比较用功的人,我认为 The attitude decides,偶得成绩和牛无关,用心准 备的结果. 我承认有不少牛人,在不准备的情况下可以轻松到100以上,甚至110以上,但这个也只是少 数案例。 (b)此帖并非炫耀帖,我的分数也并非让人非常满意,可能跟我付出有点差距,导致对自己期望过高,对这 个分数还耿耿于怀。 (c)以下破解口语的一些方法,集众家之所长。之前在T版混了很久,受益颇多,很多都是借鉴前人考试的 经验,在下面的专辑中如果有碰到引用前辈的经验的,我会一一指明。 (d)这个帖子也并非是万能药,口语最适合的准备方式,还是要结合自己的弱点和强项来准备,专攻弱点, 加强强项。 在介绍任何crackIBT的方法之前,先给大家听一下我在考前自己练习的录音。听了这个录音你会对自 己的准备充满信心,23分一点都不难,因为偶的发音真的很烂,只要比偶发音好的,可以冲刺25分以上。 22 IBT speaking 一二两题.无敌备考方法 另外希望大家不要嘲笑偶,因为每个人背景不一样,我口语讲成这样已经知足了,因为自己起点很低,资质也 不够好。我当年学口语的目标就是,不管美音,英音,只要老外听懂的就是好音。所以其实偶的发音并无章可 循,纯粹是年幼时被口齿不清的老师虐待以及自己努力纠正听广播的结果。好了,不废话了,听一下下面几个 我得录音。如果需要这个录音软件的,可以跟我要,还是比较好用的(我男人学计算机软件的,这方面他找的 东西都很好)。 听完大家应该对自己有信心了吧,就是像我那么烂的人,能拿23分,你能拿多少分呢?
