從托福98到108他經(jīng)歷了什么
下面是三戰(zhàn)托福從98到108的經(jīng)驗,小編現(xiàn)在分享給大家參考學(xué)習(xí)。
輔導(dǎo)班
輔導(dǎo)班只是幾年前上過XDF,北京水清。說實(shí)話,XDF老師的有些方法適合提高大家的英語素養(yǎng),比如聽寫。有些方法是在大量做題之后才能使用得當(dāng)?shù)?,比如不?a href='http://www.rzpgrj.com/yu/wenzhang/' target='_blank'>文章直接做題……總體來說,輔導(dǎo)班的作用更多的是讓大家對托福考試是什么有一個了解,以及給大家一個心里安慰。
單詞
單詞的重要性應(yīng)該不用過多贅述了。可以說高詞匯量是突破托福的首要基礎(chǔ)。如果有人跑過來跟你說“同學(xué)不需要背單詞也可以得高分”,那么請你回他一句“呵呵”,再默念一句“我去年買了個表”。試想,如果連一個句子中的關(guān)鍵單詞都不認(rèn)識,又怎么能夠分析句子成分,又怎么能夠理解句子的邏輯,又怎么能夠運(yùn)用那些虛無縹緲的考試技巧?所以,同學(xué)當(dāng)你感到沮喪、不安或者不想看書的時候,去背單詞吧。
閱讀
從本人兩次成績上來看,閱讀的成績是最穩(wěn)定也是最好的。這可能和本人中小學(xué)的英語教育有關(guān)。當(dāng)時在中高考不考聽力的政策下,閱讀理解是英語學(xué)習(xí)的全部。
因為托福閱讀結(jié)構(gòu)性很好,而且題目并不需要考生對文章的理解和推敲,因此題目還是有些方法去把握的。做閱讀題不需要通讀全文。閱讀題目的出題點(diǎn)都會有明確的標(biāo)示,題目不會超出定位句的前后兩句。在做題的時候首先通過題目中的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行定位,找到題目出處之后,將定位句的意思理解清楚。如果仍然找不到答案,則閱讀定位句之前和之后的句子。一般(90%的情況)做到這樣,就可以得到題目的答案。這時有的同學(xué)可能會擔(dān)心,如果不閱讀全文那么最后一道題目遺漏什么信息怎么辦?這個我想大家不必?fù)?dān)心,依照我個人做題的經(jīng)驗,通過之前的11或12道題目基本都可以都將一篇文章的意思理解清楚。實(shí)在是有些不確定的信息,也可以再做最后一道題目的時候再回到原文去判斷。
復(fù)習(xí)閱讀的材料這次只做過OG和TPO。原來做文勇黃金閱讀感覺不錯,后來發(fā)現(xiàn)就是TPO……
聽力
之前也提到了,當(dāng)年英語考試沒有聽力,因此長久以來聽力一直是橫亙在我面前的兩大困難之一(另一個是口語)。
在上XDF的時候上的是小馬老師的課。至今我還記得那句“聽寫是提高聽力的唯一途徑”!第一次和第二次考試也是一直是將這句話奉為至理名言,也導(dǎo)致了我個人聽力成績的慘淡。首先要聲明的是聽寫的確是提高聽力的一個很好的方法。但是這個方法有一個弊端,很大的弊端就是——累,很累。我個人聽寫一篇老托福,并且完全校對大概要花去半個小時到一個小時的時間。而且一般準(zhǔn)備托福的大部分都是大學(xué)生,平時課程壓力也挺大的。這時候每天聽寫個2-3篇并且在準(zhǔn)備托福的其他項目,那種無可名狀的絕望感真的讓人崩潰。也可能是自己并沒有一個學(xué)霸的心,更沒有一個學(xué)霸的身子。
其實(shí),如果想獲得還算過的去的聽力成績(比如26),完全不必要采用聽寫這個方法的。因為托福聽力的內(nèi)容很局限,并不是真正的考察一個人的聽力水平有多高。這時候,聽得“精”的作用就不如聽得“多”的作用來的大了。前兩次因為聽寫,最后真正做題的數(shù)量少的可憐,也導(dǎo)致了再考場上捉襟見肘。當(dāng)然,這里的“多”并不是指聽得不認(rèn)真,只是不像聽寫那么認(rèn)真罷了。個人建議一篇采用5遍聽力法。第一遍聽完做題目,第二遍聽不懂的單詞,第三遍聽句子,第四遍聽段落大意,然后對照文本將之前的問題全部糾正,即分析錯題、查詢不懂的單詞、句子和段落大意,最后再聽一遍看看還有什么遺漏。經(jīng)過這樣5遍聽力,一篇文章基本的就可以算是掌握了。平時沒事的時候把TPO音頻放到手機(jī)里多聽一聽都有好處的。
聽力資料就是用了TPO,其中錯題率高的幾篇做了2-3遍。至于大家大為贊嘆的SSS,聽過幾篇,但是感覺和托福題目內(nèi)容相
口語
口語一直是我托福考試中的一大阻礙,三次考試最高22分。第一次托??荚囈恢痹诩m結(jié)語音語調(diào),對于內(nèi)容上沒做太多練習(xí),結(jié)果導(dǎo)致很多題目都沒有說完。第二次準(zhǔn)備得更加不充分,獨(dú)立題目得到了Limited……第三次稍微好一點(diǎn)。這里我想說的是,做口語題一定要限時練習(xí),一定要錄音練習(xí)??赡軇傞_始感覺很受挫,但是會越說越有感覺。雖然三次成績都不甚理想,但是個人還是感覺第三次明顯好于前兩次的。
口語的資料看了很多,張涵老師的那本《托福口語看這本書就夠了》挺好的,講得比較細(xì)致。備考材料是,獨(dú)立——機(jī)經(jīng),綜合——TPO。
P.S. 考試的時候回答的聲音一定要充足。
寫作
從這三次考試成績來看,提升最明顯的應(yīng)該就是寫作了。之前也寫過一點(diǎn)關(guān)于獨(dú)立寫作的文章。這里再談一談如何去突破托福寫作。
1. 綜合寫作
綜合寫作的重點(diǎn)在于聽力。也就是說,只要能把握住聽力的內(nèi)容,綜合寫作的成績肯定是高分。這里同學(xué)們就無需糾結(jié)語言、模板什么的了,只要能如實(shí)反映聽力和閱讀中的內(nèi)容就可以。相對于聽力題目,綜合寫作的聽力應(yīng)該稍微簡單一點(diǎn),畢竟之前會看一部分閱讀材料,只需要在聽之前先自己構(gòu)思下聽力可能會出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容就很容易把握了。
綜合寫作的資料就是用了TPO。
2. 獨(dú)立寫作
在OG第209頁給出了獨(dú)立寫作的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),這里只摘錄5分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
An essay at this level largely accomplishes all of the following:
·Effectively addresses the topic and task
·Is well organized and well developed, using clearly appropriate explanations, exemplifications, and/or details
·Displays unity, progression and coherence
·Displays consistent facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice, and idiomaticity, though it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors
從這一段的描述中我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)一片好的獨(dú)立作文的關(guān)鍵原則有——在內(nèi)容上,有清晰的解釋、事例或細(xì)節(jié)支撐;在結(jié)構(gòu)上,文章要統(tǒng)一、漸進(jìn)和連貫;在語言上,選詞要正確、句子要富有變化。因此只要把握住這幾個原則,很容易寫出高分作文。
(1) 單詞和語法
托福作文對單詞的要求并不是很高,但是一定要注意單詞的拼寫不能出現(xiàn)大規(guī)模的錯誤。建議平時同學(xué)們練習(xí)完之后,將作文復(fù)制到Word里邊查一下拼寫錯誤,并且記住那些常常會拼錯的單詞,力爭在考場上減少單詞的拼寫錯誤。
對于語法結(jié)構(gòu),托福并沒有很高的要求。只需要在寫作中適當(dāng)添加幾個從句基本上就足夠了。當(dāng)然如果使用更高級的結(jié)構(gòu)如倒裝、獨(dú)立主格等等是更好的。和單詞一樣,對于句子的運(yùn)用只要不出現(xiàn)規(guī)模的錯誤、不影響閱讀就是成功的。
(2) 分論點(diǎn)的論證
分論點(diǎn)的論證是整篇文章的核心部分。一篇高分的獨(dú)立作文一定是論證到位,內(nèi)容充實(shí)的。而要做到“論證到位”和“內(nèi)容充實(shí)”則就需要合理的論證。我想很多同學(xué)困惑的一個問題就是——“為什么總感覺沒有內(nèi)容可寫?”這是很多同學(xué)都會碰到的問題。這里我想介紹兩個我本人常用的方法——舉例論證和對比論證。
舉例論證
舉例論證是大家最常用的論證方法也是最容易忽視的論證方法。一個好的例子可以使得一篇文章生動、形象、富有畫面感。
On the other hand, sports compose of an indispensable part of lives of young people, especially of children who are growing into adults. For children, physical sports benefit not only their health but also their growth, especially in this society where children are over exposed to junk food such as fried chicken and hamburgers. According to data from health centers in thousands of cities, there are more and more children who suffer from obesity due to unhealthy diet and lack of physical exercises. This obesity would not only affect children’s health but also influence children’s confidence negatively. For example, when I was in my primary school, I was overweight. Because of the large body, I could not run fast and jump far in the physical education class, which depressed me a lot. After I lost my weight through physical exercises, I regained self-confidence and enjoyed playing outdoors with my friends.
例如這一段中,我想證明的是“肥胖不僅影響孩子們的健康而且影響孩子們的自信心”。之后我就舉了一個關(guān)于自己小時候的例子。從表述這個例子語言來看,并沒有十分高級的詞匯和復(fù)雜的句型,僅僅是將小時候的狀態(tài)描述了一下。然而就是通過這樣的一個身邊例子的運(yùn)用,之前的論點(diǎn)就得到了強(qiáng)有力的論證。所以,各位同學(xué)在練習(xí)托福作文的時候,不要僅僅關(guān)注名人的例子而忽視身邊的例子。一個可以支撐論點(diǎn)的例子就是一個好的例子、好的細(xì)節(jié)、好的論據(jù)。我們所做的只是用恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z言將其表述出來就可以了。
對比論證
對比論證的用處在于當(dāng)正面的論述開始乏力的時候從另外一個角度補(bǔ)充說明。使用對比論證最直觀的一個效果就是增加篇幅,而其深層次的作用是使論證更加完整。依然以上邊一段為例。
After I lost my weight through physical exercises, I regained self-confidence and enjoyed playing outdoors with my friends.
這一句話就從反面證明了運(yùn)動的重要性,而且豐富了例子,增加了論證的完整性。
對比論證常??梢酝ㄟ^假設(shè)來提出對立面。例如下邊這個例子,通過if引出反面的不利后果來證明正面的正確性。
First of all, politeness promotes, rather than impedes, the efficiency of normal living by serving to keep and maintain order in people’s lives. Everyone in the society cannot live apart from others. So order would help people to conduct and complete missions easily while disorder would prevent people from finishing them. Consider the transportation which would be fluent if drivers would show respect and politeness to each other and keep going on their own lanes. Otherwise if all drivers had, regardless of others, jumped queues in order to get on their destinations faster, the traffic would have been congested and the result would have gone contrary to drivers’ wishes.
只要同學(xué)們可以在文章中很好的使用舉例論證和對比論證,文章很容易寫得論證有力、生動形象。
(3) 布局謀篇
一般托福獨(dú)立作文都會要求考生就一個話題闡述自己的觀點(diǎn)。結(jié)構(gòu)上來說文章可以完全支持話題的一個方面,也可以部分支持話題。這里我強(qiáng)烈推薦“2+1”或“1+2”式的論證結(jié)構(gòu),即2段支持性段落+1段讓步段落。這樣寫的好處在于可以將話題論證的更加完整,而且容易尋找分論點(diǎn)。畢竟,在兩個方面尋找3個分論點(diǎn)比在一個方面尋找3個分論點(diǎn)要輕松。當(dāng)然這個沒有定論,如果同學(xué)可以就一個方面找出3個論點(diǎn)或者2個論點(diǎn)但是有把握寫得很充實(shí),也可以采用“一邊倒”式的寫法。
在這篇經(jīng)驗的最后會附上幾篇習(xí)作供大家參考、討論。
差較大就很少再聽了。
機(jī)經(jīng)
這里也想談一談機(jī)經(jīng)的作用。個人感覺口語的獨(dú)立部分和獨(dú)立作文還是挺有幫助的。在準(zhǔn)備的時候可以重點(diǎn)看一下這些部分。這部分主要是檢查下有沒有自己不熟悉的話題,如果有盡早準(zhǔn)備。畢竟如果在考場上看到一個陌生的題目會造成很大的心理影響。這也是我開這家店的一部分原因,畢竟這部分資料對于廣大的托福考生來說還是有一定幫助的。當(dāng)然突破托福主要還是依靠實(shí)力,有了機(jī)經(jīng)的輔佐,成功率會提升一些。
一個月復(fù)習(xí)計劃表

習(xí)作1
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is more important for government to spend money improving Internet access than improving public transportation.
Both Internet access and public transportation contribute to the prosperity of society and the convenience of individuals. If we have to discuss which one the government should invest more, I would like to argue that public transportation should be supported more by the government financially, although Internet is the sign of modern society.
Admittedly, Internet has benefited human beings by revolutionizing the way by which we communicate with others. Internet has become a crucial instrument upon which we depend to study, to work and to enjoy our lives. Every day, we check out our e-mail box to receive information from others and send e-mail to discuss working affairs. Now we buy goods on the Internet and we watch sports games or videos on the Internet. Apparently, the faster and richer the Internet is, the more convenient and more interesting our lives will be. By the powerful Internet, for instance, we are able to discuss important issues from a very far distance by the video meeting and we are able to watch films on home rather than going to cinema.
Although a better Internet access has its merits, the statement overestimates its importance by concluding from them that government should pay more attention to and invest more on the Internet access. Nevertheless, as I see it, government should serve and care about the majority of people. In my country, a developing one, the people who use the Internet concentrate in the city and more people live in rural areas cannot afford a computer which is the essential device to use the Internet. The major reason for the poverty of the people living in countries, especially those in mountains, is that no road reaches their villages. So prior to the Internet in importance is public transportation which should be built by the government to bring the agricultural products out from the villages into the market and bring the advanced education and technology into those rural areas. Without the thorough public transportation, hardly can people in poor countries foresee a bright and prosperous future, let alone the Internet.
In addition, even in cities, relatively advanced area, it is important for the government to improve the public transportation. Accompanying with the continuing urbanization, more and more people swarm into cities, especially some metropolises. Even with the taxi, bus, and subway, Beijing, for example, has a very poor traffic condition. There are traffic congestions almost every day. The main factor contributing to this situation lies in that many people choose private cars rather than public transportation because of the crowd on the bus and on the subway. It is really a waste of time and a ruin of mood to be stuck in a traffic jam. If the government improved public transportation by increasing more buses and subway lines, more people would be attracted by the convenient and comfortable public transportation and the whole condition of traffic would be better. On the other hand, the Internet has satisfied people very well and enhance of it does not mean much to the public. So I would prefer a better public transportation rather than a better Internet.
In sum, although a better Internet access would be beneficial, the government should care about the demand of most people who live in countryside and the public transportation in cities also should be improved.
習(xí)作2
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Printed books have greater effects on society than television has.
People are surrounded by printed books and television everyday which act very important roles in providing us with knowledge and information. When it comes to the discussion that which one possesses greater effects on our society, I fundamentally agree with the statement that books influence us more.
Admittedly, television has changed our society by the new fast way to spread information. Every day we open the television to know what is happening in the world and what is happening around us. From the television, we know who has just won a gold medal in Olympic Games, which team, Spurs or Heats, has just won the NBA finals and what the weather is tomorrow. In addition, television provides us with many live and interesting teleplays and films which bring laughter when we are in a leisure time. The Big Bang Theory and The Broken Girls are two of my favorite teleplays whose interesting and humorous plots give me a lot of fun when I want to enjoy myself after class.
Although the influence of television on society is great, when compared to that of printed books, I still hold the opinion that printed books impose greater effects on our society. By recording and passing on the wisdom of authors, books have been playing an indispensible role in affecting the world since their emergence. The Bible is the book which has given millions of people the faith to the God and helped them to get the hope of lives. The series of Harry Porter has brought thousands of children and even adults into the magic world which is full of imagination. Although some teleplays or films also reflect the same theme of books, apparently they have never reached so many audiences as the printed books have.
In addition, compared to the relatively narrow range of themes provided by the television, the books included all kinds of fields, from philosophy to literature and from astronomy to geology. Thanks to books, the printed wisdom and talent of masters, we are able to appreciate the love between Romeo and Juliet, the history of our nation, the advanced conception of relativity. Moreover, tremendous kinds of articles and journals, such as Nature and Science, indicate the most cutting-edge science and technology which are seldom displayed on television. For example, for the bridge engineering, the most advanced construction technologies, including increment launching construction, are mainly reported on periodicals while rarely shown on television because other than the professional, little number of people would be interested in such subject. However, these technologies are very important for bridge engineering and only the technological journals are responsible for spreading these crucial technologies which would benefit the whole society by providing methods to construct bridges.
In sum, although television offer news and entertainment for the public, the large amount of readers and the wide range of fields of printed books reveal that books affects greater than television does.
