笔者将通过归纳Task 3 的场景,让大家能够*一个高度,从更本质的方面去看待问题,了解第三题中的不变之处。

托福口语中的Task 3,这是很多同学既喜欢又害怕做的一个题。经过2个独立题,大家终于不用再纠结15秒钟要*想话题的环节了。在Task 3 中,大家不需要构思自己的观点,只需根据阅读和听力材料进行话题的概述。但又让大家害怕的是,Task 3 是一个综合题,上面已经提及,这个题需要大家结合阅读和听力进行作答。这就涉及到大家的综合听力、阅读和口语能力了。阅读材料仅有45秒钟的时间进行阅读。读完很容易出现的情况是忘记阅读内容,或者就是45秒钟的时间内很多同学根本抓不住阅读重点。此外,对于听力内容有些同学也会很紧张。阅读和听力的内容一直在变,应该如何备考第三题,去抓住那些变化的点呢?带着这些疑问,笔者将通过归纳Task 3 的场景,让大家能够*一个高度,从更本质的方面去看待问题,了解第三题中的不变之处。

  一、不变之处:考点之话题形式

  话题介绍


  首先给大家介绍一下整个话题涉及几个主要部分以及内容,如下表:

  注:

  校园通知通常有以下形式:announcement / policy / notice / decision / plan

  学生信件主要包括以下两种: complaint letter / student proposal

  二、不变之处:考点之话题场景

  场景归纳


  Task 3 主要内容出处为校园生活,下面笔者想通过归纳TPO真题给大家分享主要的校园场景话题分类。让大家能够对托福口语中的校园生活场景有进一步的认识。

  主要归纳为:

  1. 活动、计划或者课程的取消

  TPO 2 - elimination of bus service

  TPO 3 - hot breakfast eliminated

  TPO 7 - sculpture course will be discontinued

  TPO 23 - no more international news

  2. 地点或者人物等要素的改变

  TPO 5 - university dining hall being transformed into the Campus Dining Club

  TPO 10 - art work being displayed at lobby

  TPO 12 - changes of college radio station

  TPO 17 - multi-person study tables being changed into personal cubicles

  TPO 18 - university choir entering off-campus singing competition

  TPO 21 - weekly newspaper being changed into daily e-mail

  TPO 22 - campus tour guides being changed

  3. 校园扩建、改善、整修、关闭

  TPO 11 - dormitory renovation

  TPO 13 - new athletic stadium being built

  TPO 15 - campus running tail being paved with cement

  TPO 16 - improvement of student health service

  TPO 24 - close of campus coffee house

  4. 时间、费用的增加或减少

  TPO 4 - evening computer classes being added

  TPO 6 - history seminar should be shorter

  TPO 19 - fee increase for recreation center use

  5. 学习或校园生活环境的改善

  TPO 8 - music coming into cafeterias

  TPO 14 - students being allowed to eat in the class

  对于这些场景的归纳,笔者希望真正去考过试的或者在备考托福的考生们回想一下,你们考过的,或者是平时练习的真题是不是基本上不逃脱通知和学生信件这两大类形式以及上述归纳的这五大类场景呢?

  通过认识Task 3 中这些不变的点,再去做一下这一类题,考生们会不会发现并不是每次都让大家特别措手不及呢?是否会觉得更容易上手了呢?了解场景后,笔者将分别从阅读和听力两个方面给大家介绍Task 3 的答题要点。

  阅读要点

  对于阅读,主要想从两个方面来谈论,即:阅读中的笔记应该重点记什么,以及答题要点。下面主要以TPO中的话题来给大家进行分析。

  1. 笔记重点

  以下,主要按照文章发展给大家介绍我们笔记中所要记的重点。首先,我们要做的是*根据导语确认话题形式-announcement还是letter from student。大家可以用简单的大写字母A和L各表示通知和学生信件。阅读文章出现后,首先要关注的是Title,很多情况下我们能够从题目中读出文章的主旨何在。如:

  TPO 2 - elimination of bus service

  TPO 3 - hot breakfast eliminated

  TPO 7 - sculpture course will be discontinued

  TPO 23 - no more international news

  当然也会有情况我们不理解题目或者想更多的了解话题的主旨,大家可以扫读阅读中的和第二句话,通常我们能从中得到有关话题的更具体的信息。

  1)以下话题中,我们很难根据题目去进行话题主旨了解。前两句话给了我们足够的具体信息去了解话题主旨。

  Campus Dining Club Announced

  Starting this year, the university dining hall will be transformed into the Campus Dining Club for one week at the end of each semester. During the last week of each semester, the dining hall will feature special meals prepared by the university's culinary arts students. (TPO 5)

  通过红色字体,我们可以很快得出,The announcement is about to transform the university dining hall into the campus dining club.

  2)很多同学其实可以从题目去了解话题的主旨,学校要铺跑道。

  University Should Pave Running Trails

  The university has about three miles of unpaved dirt running trails that pass through the forest near campus. I think these trails should be paved with cement. (TPO 15)

  铺什么,怎么铺这些我们都不得而知,从开始的第二个句子中,大家就可以很好的了解,学校是想铺水泥跑道。The running trails in the university will be paced with cement.

  其次,大家需要找出的是校园通知或者是学生信件的缘由,为什么要出这样的通知或者写信给学校,一定存在一定的理由。通常在Task 3 中有2个理由。很多时候,我们可以通过英文表达中的逻辑词汇找到这两个点的topic sentence。

  University Should Allow Eating in Class

  Currently, there is a university-wide policy that prohibits eating in the classroom. I disagree with this policy. I think students should be allowed to eat in class. This change would be good for two reasons. For one thing, students were permitted to eat, they would be able to concentrate better, because students often get hungry during long classes, and hunger makes it difficult to concentrate. Also, if food were allowed in classrooms, it would be possible for us to have in-class parties on the last day of class-with snack foods and beverages-to celebrate the end of each semester. (TPO 14)

  通过扫读逻辑词汇,大家很快就能找到此次信件的理由:

  Reason 1: It enables students to have better concentration in the class.

  Reason 2: It is possible for students to have an in-class party at the end of the semester.

  会有这样一种情况,学校会引用某些教授或者*的原话去表达。看到文章中大量的引号,那理由必定会出现在*话语中,大家不妨从这方面入手找找。

  Fee Increase for Recreation Center Use

  The university administration today announced a $25 increase in the student fee for using the campus recreation center. The higher fee, which all students are required to pay, will provide funds to upgrade the facility and provide newer, more modern exercise equipment at the center. "We expect the improvements to increase student use of the facility," explained David Smith, director of the student activities office. Mr. Smith also noted that the decision was approved because "We feel that $25 is a reasonable increase that will be affordable for individual students." (TPO 19)

  开始两个句子讲明主题后,我们发现后面大量引号,那大家就不要看引号之外去记录说话人的姓名或者其它信息了,主要去理解并且记录话语信息。

  Reason 1: It is assumed that students will use the improved facility more frequently.

  Reason 2: It is reasonable to charge an extra $25 by the students, and they can af
