如果你想说好托福口语,考生需要有足够的口语词汇储备。很多学生说不好英语口语,主要是因为缺乏足够的词汇。他们想说的话和想表达的意思不能用合适的词来表达,但他们有想法却说不出来。如何准备托福口语词汇?我们应该准备好这三种词汇。
一、动词
动词在托福独立口语表达中不如修饰词,在综合口语部分更为常见。一个是答案模板中的动词;另一个是其他常用词。在托福口语模板中,考生常用的动词有:
观点类:
提供:provide,supply,furnish,give,render,accommodate
揭示:reveal,exhibit,expose,disclose,unveil,show,transpire,indicate,denote
建议:propose,suggest,advance,mention,recommend,advise,offer/
表明:illuminate,clarify,illustrate,exemplify,explain,elaborate

反对:oppose,argue against,combat
其他动词:
吸引:engross,absorb,draw,attract,intoxicate,lure,entice,tempt
开始:start,emerge,launch,start,begin,commence,initiate
引起:generate,produce,give rise to,engender
理解:understand,comprehend
二、修饰词
在托福口语描述中,修饰词必须准备好。例如,我们需要描述一个人的质量。如果我们在大脑中描述质量的单词,我们可以从这些单词开始,打开我们的想法;然而,如果学生在修饰词的应用中处处受到限制,他们的想法就会更加有限。
美好:excellent, extraordinary fantastic, fabulous, marvelous, nice, outstanding, , terrific, wonderful,
糟糕: awful, bad, horrible, terrible
难过: (feel )blue,( feel) down, desperate, disappointed, frustrated, unhappy
高兴: delightful, glad, happy, joyful, enjoy oneself, have a good time
热闹: busy, bustling
时髦:fashionable, in fashion, popular, up-to-date, updated
落伍:outdated, be out of date, obsolete
描述人物:helpful, warm-hearted, easy-going, friendly, humorous, energetic, knowledgeable, generous, efficient, sensible, responsible, creative, dutiful, smart, wise, intelligent, impartial, patient, faithful, expressive, articulate, reliable, well-educated, self-disciplined, considerate, thoughtful, persistent, hardworking, punctual
三、过渡词
托福口语过渡词是句子之间的一种词,也是新段落开始时应该使用的一种词。如果你好好利用这些词,考生可以在英语表达中展示自己的逻辑和思维。这些词变化不大,所以很容易组织和背诵。
并列词:for a starter(as a starter; for starters),to begin with, in the first place, besides, on the other hand, in addition,additionally, what’s more, moreover, furthermore, on top of that, also, plus
转折词:but, however, …while…
因果词:so, consequently, therefore, thus, as a result,for, since, because, as
对比词:in contrast, on the contrary
