二、QUESTION 1攻关秘籍
托福第一个问题为独立口语任务。之所以被称为独立任务，主要是因为考试的内容可以由考生自由发挥，考生需要就某一熟悉的话题阐述自己的观点。
口语第一题Task 1
考试形式：
陈述时间：45s
准备时间：15s, 可以列提纲
要求：详细描述；给出理由-------（要对题目做出全面的回答------细节描述或事例）TIPS:
熟悉话题------准备段子、背段子？
关于例子------不要列举过多例子？
答案没有对错之分？
朗阁海外考试研究中心分析认为，这道题是一定要经过准备的，因为它考查的题目范围并不是日常生活的话题，即使是熟练使用英语的美国人，如果没有经过准备，在15s之内也很难准备出来一个逻辑清楚，有理有据的论述。
出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级，就来徐州朗阁 https://www.360docs.net/doc/6b1565011.html, 很多人拿到口语第一题大脑一片空白，中文思维都没有，何况英文呢，其实这个也是一个积累的过程。口语和作文的准备有时有一种相似性，所以可以一起准备，当看多了范文范例，慢慢去感悟，自然也就有了自己的例子和套路。第一题的内容大多会让你谈论一些你喜欢的人，一些特殊的物品，一些特殊的事件和一些特定的地点，（考生可以参考QUESTION 1考过题目分类汇总），答案并不一定要真实，但是一定要有理有据。托福考试只是语言考试，不是面试，所以刚开始准备的同学一定要把思路放开。
备考独立口语时的15秒怎么利用？
首先需要强调的一点是，独立口语一定要充分准备，多多练习如何展开思路。也就是说，在看到题目的时候，同学们不能再花费时间考虑题目怎么展开，而是应该马上就有思路，然后记下来你想说的提纲内容（应该也是背好的）。15秒的时间，主要记录提纲，至于开头结尾的论述，一定要在备考的时候就达到非常熟练的水平。
举个例子：
【Question】:
→Where would you want to be professionally in ten years? Use details to support your response.
→准备提纲：
朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生在草稿纸上事先列好提纲框架，以便在15秒
的准备时间内有条理地记录答题要点。要点如下：
Topic（论点）：
Supporting ideas（论据）：（一般为两点）
Conclusion（结论）：（如果答题时间所剩不多，结论则可以省略。）→15秒笔记：由于时间有限，建议考生将笔记内容写成缩写形式，便于要点的速记。
Topic（论点）：
own biz….. （I would like to run my own business.）
Supporting ideas（论据）：
(1)Ma-biz (will get master’s degree in business)
出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级，就来徐州朗阁 https://www.360docs.net/doc/6b1565011.html,
(2)work…(will work in company while planning my business)
start…(will start my own business when I am ready)
Conclusion（结论）：
biz …10 y (可用y代替years)
【回答】: Topic: In ten years I would like to own an import business.
Supporting ideas:
1) Next year, I will be starting a master’s program in busines s. I will
be getting this degree because I hope to start my own business
and make it successful some day.
2) After I finish my master’s degree three years from now, I will
most likely take a position in another company for a few years
because I need to make some money and to spend some time
planning my own business.
Conclusion:
Within ten years, I hope to own my own company and be on the
way to making it a success.
大连朗阁雅思培训—雅思口语the politest person
大连朗阁雅思培训—雅思口语:the politest person Describe the politest person you know这个话题N年前就在雅思考试中出现过了，很多烤鸭看到它之后的第一个反应是，有礼貌的表现都有啥？或者没有礼貌的表现都有啥？再在前面加上not，就符合题目要求了。这个思路完全没错哦，不过不能单纯的罗列一群行为，这样凑到两分钟得挺难。所以在大致列举出行为之后，要针对某一个具体展开加入细节。 我们先列一下好的行为和坏的行为： 有礼貌的行为： keep your voice down in public offer your seat to someone on the bus put away his cell phone when talking or eating with friends compliment the host's cooking while you are invited to dinner 没礼貌的行为： It's impolite to go to a friend's home for dinner without bringing a gift. Eating food on a subway or bus is bad manners. Talking with your mouth full is considered rude. It's rude to cut in line. blow your nose when eating with others swear or use bad language have an argument in public show affection in public（当街秀恩爱，不知道从什么时候起这个变成了伤害狗的行为……） 如果还是达不到两分钟，别忘了，随便描写一下人物长相，可能会多说个二十秒…… The politest person I met is a high school boy living upstairs. He always wears a friendlysmile on his face, saying hello to everyone he bumps into. He's not very tall, about averageheight, but he always works out at the gym, so he's well built, you know, with six-pack abs. Iknow that because he once taught me how to swim. Well, that's another story. Anyway, his family is loaded, but he's not spoiled at all! I remember one time, when I justmoved into the apartment, his friends threw him a surprise birthday party, and you know howwild teenagers can be these days, so at the end of the party, the whole building was in a mess,balloons and cakes were everywhere, and the worst part is, it was noisy and disturbing thewhole time. Some of the neighbors were so furious because it was Saturday, and they neededto rest. I was like, oh, great, another spoiled rich boy. However, to my surprise, after his friendswere gone, he and his housemaid cleaned all that up instead of waiting around for the

大连朗阁雅思培训—烤鸭心得：在职考生如何轻松搞定雅思4个7
大连朗阁雅思培训—烤鸭心得：在职考生如何轻松搞定雅思4个7 首先简单介绍一下自己。我是墨大小本一枚，来墨尔本已有五年。去年8月份毕业，10月份进入一家local公司实习。出国至今共烤鸭三回，三回都是A类。第一回是在去年6月，第二回是去年11月，第三 回是在今年1月(因为去年12月Melb的所有考试名额都像被抢不要钱的菜一样一抢而光)。 第一次是为了赶着申请TR，于是匆忙地在final期间就去考了。虽然我只在考前熟悉了一晚上题型， 但凭着对出国前那次烤鸭的痛苦记忆，这次只有写作6.5躺枪。这次考试让我确定了自己的基础，也让我 明白雅思写作对我要拿straight 7的重要性，写作也就自然而然成为了我第二次屠鸭的重点准备对象。为 了准备第二次烤鸭，我从国内带回来了四本作文书(其中发现只有一本有用)，后来10月份又请一个雅思 老师帮我改了7、8篇作文，然后自信满满地报了名。不料考前失眠只睡了一个半小时，考试当天迷迷糊 糊爬到离我家开车50分钟的NMIT(因听信谣言说这里出分高)。口语考官是个香港人，有口音，part 1一 上来问我“plants”，我听成“plans”，手舞足蹈的答了两道题才反应过来，当场士气大减。结果口语果然悲 剧6.5，但是这次写作进步了1分到7.5。第三次离第二次又隔了近两个月，期间虽然忙于工作、PY课、 翻译课和回国探亲，我一直未对雅思准备有所懈怠，终于在第三次拿下四个7，提前解决了PR这件大事。 流水账写完，接下来我着重谈谈我对雅思体会和备战技巧。雅思就是一门考试。考试一般就有公式， 我总结的“雅思公式”就是：成绩=技巧+实力+发挥。这三项我是prioritize过的。发挥要看RP，只能攒了。实力嘛，众所周知，雅思评分系统分为了9个等级，6分的标准是competent，7分是good，8分是very good。大家可以回忆一下过去，如果你身边以英文为母语的朋友们时不时夸奖你yourEnglish is good，那么你离7分也就不远，只要准备考试的方法的方向上道了基本就没大问题了。 听力&阅读：不要求你是“千里眼”、“顺风耳” 这两项是华人的骄傲，毋庸置疑。因为我第一次这两项就上了7，所以之后除了借来朋友几本剑桥雅 思回家认真分析了下题型没有做过其他的练习。这两项的分数三次考试都在7.5到8.5之间徘徊，不算高 也不太稳定。但为了本文目的的完整性，在我咨询了身边的4个8大神和这两项常年稳居8.5或以上的达 人后，总结出来了两个字：做题。“没有别的”，达人说，“只有做题，我把剑4到剑8的题反复做了三遍，每一遍都有对雅思阅读和听力有新的理解。”“一定要保证你很细致的理解雅思阅读听力出题方式的特点， 并且保持每周定量、限时的训练，这样才在考试时不会因为紧张而导致发挥过度时常。”4个8补充到。 说到理解雅思出题方式的特点，市面上有一本书名为《雅思8分密钥：杨凡-雅思阅读20天突破》是我唯 一看过的阅读书，也是我十分推荐给大家的。我第二、三次每一次考前都会把前100页的“雅思阅读各题 型答题技巧”快速浏览两遍，不仅让我快速巩固了对各种阅读题型的记忆，同时让我知道在答不同题型时 如何在文章中快速锁定阅读范围。但是无独有偶，这种“短平快”的复习方法下打开考卷的一霎那在知道自 己的RP有多少。比如我第三次考试的阅读有两个题型就没有被包括在本书范围内，所以大家还是防患于 未然吧，有时间还是要多做题。听力的话，大家可以看看有没有同类型的参考书。 口语：学会忽悠 口语一直是我最有把握的一项。从来澳洲的那天起我就乐此不疲的和世界各地、五湖四海的认识或不 认识的人侃大山(各种马来音、印度音、朝鲜音和俄罗斯音也在一定程度上帮助我的了听力)。所以，Fluency, Lexical resource, Pronunciation这三项听力的Assessment Criterion我都基本都能满足7分的要 求(自我测评很重要)。剩下来的就是来补齐Coherence和Grammatical range and vocabulary了。Coherence，很好理解，就是讲话要有条不紊，句句在理。雅思口语高分的感觉就是考生要soundwell-educated, 所以在口语考试的时候你经常需要用到“子曾经说过”这种既俗又雅的引入语。与日常口语不同
雅思口语考试临场发挥的一点建议
雅思口语考试临场发挥的一点建议 人们常说台上1分钟，台下十年功。但很多雅思考生虽然平时雅思考试备考复习非常充分，篇篇因为心理素质不够好，导致临场发挥有失水准，结果成绩很不理想。下面就和大家分享雅思口语考试临场发挥的一点建议，来欣赏一下吧。 雅思口语考试临场发挥的一点建议 影响雅思口语(Fluency)流利度的原因多半在于中国雅思考 试心理素质差，表现非常不自信。中国学生在回答为什么害羞不敢与老外交谈时最通常的回答就是：“我怕出错。”常见的症状就是一句话出口前，先想好中文，再在心里把它译成英语，然后再出口，这样即便是说出来的话滴水不漏，语流的连贯性上也大打折扣。口试是雅思口语考试，关键是交际能力。我们不能要求口语和书面语一样毫无差错。相反，如果口语说得像书面语一样四平八稳、准确无误，反而让人觉得不得体。 雅思口语和书面语是两种不同的风格。考生既然进了考场，都是有备而来的。这时的最佳心理状态就是认识到学习语言不可能不出错。要相信人在情急之下的潜能超水平发挥。考官提出问题后，最好能在5秒钟内就开始回答。 先放松后谈考试
因为雅思口语考试现场太过于紧张，导致没听清考官的指示。请注意，一定要听清楚考官的问题，否则，你怎么讲雅思口语尬聊进行到底? 在第一种情况下，考生通常是比较少和外国人接触，有“恐外症”。有个学生就是这样，一进考场就懵了，后来他回忆，其实大部分题目在之前接触过的机经中都有，只是当时太紧张，根本没有听懂。考官还很耐心地给他解释了题目，他都没有把握住机会。可见紧张是如何的误事。如果你也有这种情况，唯一的办法就是多找外国人聊天，克服对高鼻子蓝眼睛的恐惧。 如果是第二种情况，你完全可以要求考官复述一遍题目(Beg you pardon; Will you repeat that, please?, etc。)，或者解释一下(What do you mean by that? etc。)，因为有的题目确实是考生从没考虑过的，提这样的要求是合理的，不会被扣分，因为这也同样是交际的一个方面，没听懂硬扛着或瞎猜，只能被扣分。问清楚问题再答总好过没弄清乱答。 对自己的雅思口语水平要有信心 其实，很多中国考生英语口语水平并不差，就是对自己期望太高。 说话犹豫、经常停顿、不断重复同一个词，是考生容易出现的问题，也是最容易让考官扣分的地方，因为流利程度是最重要
托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲解
托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲 解 托福口语虽然话题广泛内容变化众多，但在答题过程中其实是存在一些可供考生使用的套路的。今天给大家带来了托福口语TASK1-6全部题型答题套路汇总讲解，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲解 托福口语一二题无明显套路 首先，是答题思路，一般口语一二题就是缩小版的independent writing(可以在高分作文里找思路)，而三四五六题是通过听力提取信息。一二题大家可以用机经来练习，一是可以熟悉题目，二是可以练习把握时间。三四五六题，则有模板可寻：托福口语第三题套路介绍 先阅读一封信或是一个通告，一般是一个建议，对校园内的一项进行一个改变，这个“change”是阅读*中至关重要的，因为后面的对话主要是围绕这个进行的，至于*中给出的理由，并不是很重要，因为没有时间也没有必要说这个。之后听一男一女对话，主要是找主要说话人的态度，然后记下他或她的两个理由和
举例，不用全记，每点理由记一到两个原因或事例就好。之后组织语言：是change+态度+两点理由。 托福口语第四题套路介绍 先阅读一个科研类*，然后听一段lecture，之后对一个概念进行定义和举例解释。在这道题，阅读的部分需要抓住的要点比上一题要多，首先是题目，题目一般是所要解释的概念，所以要把题目记下来，然后在阅读段落里找对这个概念的定义，一般是含这个词的一句话，记下，之后听lecture时主要记下教授解释这个概念所用的例子，一般可能是一个故事或实验，这时就要记下主要轮廓和具体的对比或例子，之后组织语言，按：*讨论某事某物+定义+教授举例解释的方式回答。 托福口语第五题套路介绍 这道题不用阅读，直接是一男一女对话，主要是其中一个人遇到一个problem，要着重记下，然后是另一个提出两个解决方案，并且各给利弊。之后题目会让你在两个方案中选择一个。很多老师的建议都是选择第二个方案，因为据说这样更好回答，符合大家惯用的让步反驳式思路。答题时，思路为：叙述这个问题+两个解决方案+你分析后的选择。由于回答较长，需要注意用连词。 托福口语第六题套路介绍

大连朗阁雅思培训—雅思大作文范文之使用机器人的利弊
大连朗阁雅思培训—雅思大作文范文之使用机器人的利弊 Intelligent machines such as robots are increasingly being used. They can do many things that used to be done by human. Discuss the benefits and dangers. For centuries, people have fantasized that someday machines could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants. Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to rapid development in artificial intelligence research. Wonderful as this seems, machines have problems. To begin with, people lose jobs when machines take their places, especially in the mass production industry such as automobile business. In factories of the famous car company Ford, almost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision than human labor. Because of the adoption of robots, thousands of workers are put out of their old jobs and forced to make changes in their work. Even such changes create job opportunities because robots need people to take care of and operate, the number of new jobs is much smaller than that of lost, thus causing huge pressure on the labor market and government. People become less smart because of the wide use of machines in their life. Nowadays people need to use their brain less than they did in the past. Everything is programmed and the only thing we need to do is to push a button or throw on a switch. This has given us great convenience but made us lazier and less smart. Everyone has the awkward moment troubling with the spelling of a simple word when writing with a pen. But with a computer, it will automatically proofread the spelling and grammar of your writing. So people become less concerned with learning things right. This is not a progress but a regress of our intelligence and culture. But machines have many benefits that nobody can deny such as great work efficiency and low cost of mass production. The workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes. We have more purchasing power to enjoy a wider variety of goods and services because of the reduction of production costs with factories using machines. Other benefits include that machines could do dangerous jobs for people in high risk businesses like mining and construction. To conclude, machines have many merits that make our life easier and more convenient, but they have caused many problems such as undercutting our job opportunities and overdependence on machines.
新托福口语答题技巧
名师指导：新托福口语答题技巧 Useful tips: (suitable for all questions) l Make it NA TURAL, pauses, such as “well”, “urn”, and “you know”, are advisable, but don’t do it too much。 l CORRECT your mistakes as soon as you find out, for example, “... I really like sta nding in, I mean, ON the mountain,”(I know it’s a bad example. What I’m trying to clarify is that it is OK to make mistakes, but you gotta correct it once you made it。) so the examiner would not count down your score。 l There is NO NEED to use freaking words, like “exonerate”, which means absolve, and “flamboyant”, which means showy. But those words are good to use in your essay。 l “The FIRST way, the LAST way, the NEVER FAILING way to develop self-confidence in speaking is-TO SPEAK.” -Dale Carnegie Independent speaking (Question 1 & 2) In this section, you are asked to present your own opinion and provide examples to support your ideas。 Useful tips: l Your answer should he as SPECIFIC as possible. You need to stick to a point UNTIL you finish it, have done with it, and need never return to it again。 l The key to score high is to make each point WELL-DEVELOPED, and that DOES NOT mean you need to make as much points as you can, two would be great。 l Truth and REASONABLE LIES are totally acceptable。 l “DO NOT say “I have three (or whatever) reasons to support my idea”, or some thing like that after you state your opinion. There is no guarantee that you are able to finish your answer within 45 seconds.
