很多中國(guó)學(xué)生都會(huì)覺得托福的聽力很難,原因可能有很多:
不習(xí)慣美式發(fā)音,平時(shí)少聽native speakers講話,少聽錄音帶,詞匯量和知識(shí)面跟不上,口語(yǔ)不好等原因。
口語(yǔ)不好也會(huì)影響聽力?! 當(dāng)然會(huì)!托福的聽力很大一部分是對(duì)話,都是一些日常用語(yǔ),如果口語(yǔ)不好當(dāng)然聽不懂。 所以,托福聽力材料也是好的口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)材料。要想提高聽力,光死聽死沒有用的,還要注意分析聽力原文。學(xué)習(xí)口語(yǔ)表達(dá)方法,多閱讀,多方面結(jié)合才能有正在的提高。"瀟瀟語(yǔ)言實(shí)驗(yàn)室"現(xiàn)推出"托??谡Z(yǔ)聽力篇",希望對(duì)大家有點(diǎn)幫助。每集都是根據(jù)歷屆的托福真題編寫。有編號(hào)的句子都是托福聽力原文,一些補(bǔ)充例句也是托福原文。
每集的句子摘自同一套托福聽力題。
