在托福口語備考中考生往往陷入題海戰術,背誦大量的口語段落和句型,但由於選取的段落具有極大的局限性,所以往往陷入以題練題的痛苦深淵,使得考試成績難以得到突破。比如說,關於描述人物的題目就有數不勝數。例如:What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Choose a quality you think makes someone a valuable member of a team. Describe a person that you look up to as a role model. Describe a person who positively influenced your life. Describe the famous person you admire most. Describe your favorite performer or musician. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a good teacher? Describe a person that you admire. Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion,what are the qualities of a good neighbor? In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a good leader? Describe your favorite teacher. Explain why
you like this teacher. Describe a special friend in your childhood. Explain how this friend influenced to you? Some students prefer to be taught by experienced teachers who have more teaching experience. Other students prefer to be taught by new teachers who have just finished their training.也就是說關人物的題目就數不勝數,如果我們把每一個關於人物的題目都作以細節的答案,那麼我們至少要准備幾十個段落。我們按照45秒鍾來計時,那麼我們每個段落要書寫60-80個文。
不難算出我們要至少背誦上千字的文字纔能完成關於人的話題。試想一下,在考試極度緊張的情況下,我們又怎麼能快速想起並流暢的表達出我們書寫的段落呢?況且我們要完成所有題目的背誦,我們至少要准備幾萬字的口語背誦段落。而更悲劇的是,這幾萬字的背誦段落只能應對簡單的task 1和2的內容。那樣我們的口語學習真正的陷入了苦海無涯的狀態。
想要背誦百搭的段落首先要對題目作以高度的概括和總結。比如說,關於人物的題目我們只背誦兩個段落,例如責任感和積極樂觀。那麼考題考到好的老師應該具備什麼素質,我們就可以答有責任感和積極樂觀。好的家長應該具備什麼素質,我們同樣可以答有責任感和積極樂觀。我的偶像、學習的榜樣、我最喜歡的老師、童年特殊的伙伴、好的領導等等都可以以此類推回答同樣的內容。所以廣大的考生切忌以題練題的錯誤學習方法。多多進行題目的總結,善於歸納,習得百搭句型和段落纔能最終實現提高考試成績的目標。
