如何有效安排托??谡Z答題時間

字號:

一.掌握每部分答題時間
    托??谡Z考試和以往考生考過的任何一門英語考試都有很大的不同,它的答題時間是十分緊張的,并且每部分的答題時間都有所不同,所以考生在正式備考之前,一定要注意掌握托??谡Z六大題型中每個題型的答題時間和準(zhǔn)備時間,做到心中有數(shù)。托??谡Ztask1和task2都是獨立口語題型,準(zhǔn)備時間都是15秒,答題時間都是45秒;task3和task4的準(zhǔn)備時間都是30秒,答題時間都是60秒;task5和task6的準(zhǔn)備時間都是20秒,答題時間都是60秒.
    二.根據(jù)答題時間組織內(nèi)容
    在掌握了每一部分的答題時間之后,考生應(yīng)該根據(jù)不同的答題時間準(zhǔn)備和組織內(nèi)容。
    首先,在獨立口語考試中,考生應(yīng)該在六秒左右用一句話完成topic sentence,然后每一部分都以20秒左右,用3-4句話完成一個論點和例子的闡述。比如在TPO2中,如果考生選擇的是positive,那么就應(yīng)該用六秒左右說完自己的topic sentence即I think television has a positive influence on society. 然后用20秒的時間,組織自己的第一個論點并用具體的事例支撐,比如It’s a good source of news. The members in the society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what’s happening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV every day just to keep up with the latest events. 剩下的時間建議考生組織自己的第二個論點,即Besides, television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching late show with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost and Friends.一般用兩句話組織例子即可,并且句子不宜過長。
    Task3和task4中雖然包括閱讀和聽力部分,但是考生應(yīng)該把答題的重點放在聽力上,所以在分配時間的時候,考生多分配一些時間給聽力。建議考生用15秒的時間組織閱讀中學(xué)校的規(guī)章制度的內(nèi)容及做出這樣選擇的內(nèi)容,然后用5秒的時間組織聽力中兩者對待這個問題的態(tài)度,最后用40秒的時間,組織它們做出這樣選擇的理由。比如在TPO1的task3中,考生就應(yīng)該在15秒的時間內(nèi)說完學(xué)校規(guī)章制度的內(nèi)容及做出這樣選擇的理由即The writer of the letter opposes the university’s plan to acquire a new sculpture because the university’s financial condition is poor and the sculpture is so large.然后用五秒的時間敘述兩者的意見。The woman in the conversation thinks the two reasons are totally unconvincing.最后,用40秒的時間說出做出這樣選擇的理由。The woman says it’s an anonymous donor who pays the bill of the sculpture not the university so there is no need to worry about the university’s financial condition. As for the point about the space, the woman thinks Paul, the writer of the letter, always plays soccer with his friends on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Paul just doesn’t want to move to another place. For him, it’s convenience versus sculpture.
    Task5和task6雖然答題時間相同,但是側(cè)重點有所不同,在task5中,建議考生用五秒的時間說完兩者遇到的問題,然后用30秒的時間兩者遇到的問題,最后留下25秒的時間重點說自己的判斷。而在task6中,建議考生先用15秒的時間說完教授所說的定義,然后把重點放在對例子的闡述上。比如在回答TPO中的task5的時候,考生就應(yīng)該把重點放在對自己觀點的論述上即 I think the second solution is better. Because first of all, she gets to do both activities, so she can learn more in the process and gain more experiences. And also, it’d be better if she can keep her promise, because the other professor is counting on her.
