托??谡Z重在考察邏輯思維能力
說到口語,人們的第一反應多半是語音語調(diào),其實對于托??荚噥碚f,口語部分考察的并不只有語音語調(diào),還有相當大的比重是考察學生的邏輯思維能力,這就要求考生的答案內(nèi)容充實,邏輯清晰,特別是口語的 3-6 題涉及對題干的整合,所以對考生邏輯能力的要求也就更高。如果對材料的整合不過關(guān),即使語音語調(diào)炸翻天,也會顯得內(nèi)容過 low,從而很難獲得高分。
實例講解托??谡Z對邏輯思維的要求
下面就用具體題目來解釋一下,所謂邏輯清晰、內(nèi)容完備的高分答案長什么樣。
托福口語第五題屬于校園對話,題目設置非常清楚:聽力對話會給出其中一人面臨的困境和兩個解決方案,但是兩個方案各有利弊,需要考生給出建議并解釋原因。本題題目要求如下:
Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
接下來我們聽一下這段音頻,聽完音頻之后,我們需要對音頻內(nèi)容進行筆記整理。
Problems: bus leaves earlier V.S. can’t catch it because of chemistry class
Solution 1: work at night
detail 1: boss agree & won’t miss the bus
Detail 2: tired, have class next morning
Solution 2: ride a bike
Detail 3: work on time, not far, do some exercise
Detail 4: bad weather
借助筆記,整個材料的內(nèi)容盡收眼底,我們可以清楚的看出兩個方案的利弊,所以在回答的時候就能明確該如何取舍。需要注意的是,答案沒有對錯之分,不論選擇哪個方案,只要理由充分即可。如果你更傾向于 solution 1,那么你的理由就應該是 detail 1 和detail 4;同樣的,如果覺得 solution 2 更好,那對應的理由就是 detail 2 和 detail 3。在此基礎(chǔ)上,如果時間允許,最好將自己所選解決方案的弊端也闡述一下,例如如果選擇為 solution 2,針對其弊端,也就是 detail 4,可以弱化其影響,從而顯得 solution 2 更有說服力。以本題為例,就可以說 bad weather 屬于個別現(xiàn)象,所以對騎行的影響很小,即使發(fā)生,可以臨時想辦法調(diào)整。
在時間安排上,60s 的作答時間,一般描述困境和兩個解決方案在 15s 左右,給出自己的建議需要 5s,最后 40s 用來解釋建議的理由。當然考試安排不一定非得嚴格按照這個時間來規(guī)劃,反而會限制自己的發(fā)揮,不過可以以此為參考, 以求讓自己的條理更清晰,內(nèi)容更完整。
具備高水平邏輯思維能力的解答參考
最后,給出一個sample answer供各位考生參考:
The man’s problem is that the bus schedule has changed and therefore, he can’t catch the bus for his chemistry class. He can either change his work time or ride a bike to his workplace.
For me, riding a bike is a more preferable choice. You see, if the man works at night, he must be tired and in a bad state for the morning class next day. If he rides a bike, however, he can not only be there on time but also do some exercise. Actually it’s not far, for just about 15 minutes.
Of course riding a bike is uncomfortable when the weather is bad, but this may not happen often. And though it happens, the man can then choose to work at night or come up with some other solutions.
