很多同学都想在短期提高新托福口语成绩，这也不是不可能，下面是小编为您整理的关于托福口语提升，希望对你有所帮助。

八招助你提高托福口语

提示1

Practice wherever you can and whenever you can. Any practice is good，whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not。

随时随地练习口语。

提示2

It’s important to build your confidence.If possible， use simple English sentence structure that you know is correct， so that you can concentrate on getting your message across。

以表达清晰为主，句型多样化为次。

提示3

Try to experiment with the English you know。 Use words and phrases you know in new situations。 Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar。 Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback。

大胆运用所掌握的词汇，不要过分拘泥于语法。

提示4

Try to respond to what people say to you。 You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language。 Respond to them in a natural way。

透过身体语言理解对方意思并作出回应。

提示5

Try not to translate from or into your own language。 This takes too much time and will make you more hesitant。

尽量避免翻译。

提示6

If you forget a word， do what native English speakers do all the time， and say things that “fill” the conversation。 This is better than being completely silent。 Try using um or er，if you forget the word。

遇到不知该如何表达的时候，用一些常用词表示自己正在思考。

提示7

Don’t speak too fast。 It’s important to use a natural rhythm when speaking English。 But if you speak too fast， it will be difficult for people to understand you。

语速不要过快。

提示8

Try to relax when you speak。 When you speak English at a normal speed， you will discover that most of the pronunciation skills， such as linking between words， will happen automatically。

说话时尽量放松，让发音流利顺畅。

最后温情提示：

Don’t be shy to speak! The more you practice， the more confident you’ll become。

托福口语提升的四大能力

一、词汇积累能力。

在整个托福考试的备考过程中，大家都一直在强调词汇的重要性，特别是一些学术类专业词汇的出现，比如像生物学、医学类等专业词汇，考生一碰到就蒙了。所以考生在备考托福词汇的时候，针对这些专业类词汇要特别注意一些，很多大牛都总结了各科的考试的专业词汇，大家可以集中的去背一背，就算你不会拼写，也要做到“眼熟”、“耳熟”，别使得这样生涩的词汇让你在口语考试里的表现受影响。

二、传译能力。

很多同学认为，想要学好英语，那么从逻辑和观念上就要抛弃自己母语的思维方式。但此方法是不正确的!衡量口语的关键的标准是传译。若想让口语练习有效果，一定要理解美国人的思维方式以及对于中英文的不同，把握大方向的前提才能够取得有效的进步。所以在托福口语的练习过程中传译的能力也是十分重要的。

三、推理能力。

对于中国考生学英语来说，就是2个文化差别较大的语言碰到了一起，结果完全靠猜肯定是靠不住的。但是有时几个单词并未听明白，整个语段其实可以根据相关语境进行合理的判断推理，得出对方想要表达的含义，这是很可行的。否则交流就容易中断，没有办法进行完全的沟通。

四、表达能力。

在托福口语考试中，要将题目中的内容表达出来，才能获得高分。因为托福口语的特殊性，平时考生对其的重视程度可以不及，所以练习的相对也较少，如此长久，将会严重拖托福考试成绩的后腿的。所以一到考试的时候，很多考生的表达中大多数按照中文的思路来答题，也就是所谓的中式英文，这样的口语答案很难赢得考官的青睐，自然获得不了太高的分数。

如何高效的的提升托福口语

在托福的四项考试中，口语对中国的考生来说是比较难克服的一个点，听到题目后只有短短的几十秒的时间内去思考答案，思考的答案还必须1.有逻辑 2.语句通顺 3.词汇丰富 4.体现出自己的想法，想出点子和段落后，还不能紧张的把它们流利的讲出来。

而通常这个时候如果没有经过加大口语训练的同学肯定会一脸的“懵懂”!

那加大训练是指什么呢?

练习单词发音，练习句子的音调，也就是美音或英音。

练习单词发音基本大家都能够知道，句子的音调，其实就是所谓的去模仿外国人说英语的语气。不像中午抑扬顿挫的四个声调，英语的单词没有这么多声调，而是平稳的发出一个单词，有些单词会在结尾处有轻声，所以小编的建议，读英语时要放轻松，适当的模仿一下外国人夸张的语气。

2.每日积累素材，提高思维能力，特别是对于一些social issue有自己的想法。

素材积累很重要。托福口语考试并非只是简单的需要你锻炼日常交流，而是需要你锻炼出一个英语的思维。就像以后要出国留学，老师在课堂上对你提问，你要把自己的想法讲出来，有理有据让人信服。托福口语考题重复性非常高，机经的使用性也很广，考题上段子和素材不断的累积，可以帮助我们在口语考试短暂的时间内快速的想到正确合适的答题思路。

3. 练习脑海中双语转换速度

英语是一个输入与输出的过程，看美剧、听英文广播、看英文小说、看英语新闻，这都是一个输入过程，帮助我们打懂英语的基础。单双语的转换要求我们在一个整体的的语言环境下，要将配套动作，听、读和想、说要变成一系列连贯动作。比如：你在跟朋友hang out时，你朋友跟你抱怨说尾号限行的措施不好，不方便人们生活和出行，这么一个小交谈，如果你在脑中运行着双语思维的模式，遇到不会的就去查，理清用英文思维时遇到的障碍，比如说尾号限行叫 traffic restriction based on the last digit of license plate numbers, 这会帮助你解决一系列的托福口语问题。

英文思维是一种习惯，需要养成，学习语言的过程没有捷径，这样培养出来的双语思维模式，不仅会大大受益我们的托福考试，以后在出国以后和别人的交流也会更加顺畅，做到真正的bilingual!

托福口语是托福考试中比较难的一个项目,考生想考出理想成绩需要考生在平时做好积累和练习。下面是小编为您整理的关于托福口语人物，希望对你有所帮助。

托福口语话题——人物类详情解读!

人物类话题作为托福口语考试中的高频话题，相信大家肯定是不陌生的，但你对它又是否了解透彻了呢?

人物类话题的出题方式。Who is the person you admire most? (可能会变通为your favorite teacher, the person influenced you most in your family 等等) 和What are the characteristics of a good leader/ teacher/ boss?这两种形式，但是无论是哪种形式，都要求我们根据题目的要求回答出具体的点。现在我们以这个问题为例，介绍托福口语话题中人物类话题的解题思路和技巧。

Describe a special friend in your childhood. Why is he or she special to you? Include specific reasons and details to support your response.

无论是要求描述的是什么人，都可以从这三个词展开appearance, personality, work。

Appearance可以分为两类，一类是这个人的长相，因为这个人非常beautiful, 我不自觉的被他/她所吸引，于是我们才成了朋友;另一类是这个人的整体的穿着，比如我的朋友穿衣打扮很有品质，很有气质，在认识她之后，我的形象也有了很大的改变。

personality, 即性格。描述性格常用的是形容词+细节的描述方式。即在使用一个形容词之后，要接着用例子、个人经历等等细节将形容词解释清楚。例如，He is very helpful. 那么究竟how helpful? 可以说He’s always been there for me whenever I’m in trouble. I can’t even remember how many times he has saved me out of mess. 这就是很棒的细节。

work以指工作，例如工作认真之类的。或者可以指作品，例如He’s really good at singing. His voice/lyrics makes me forget about all those problems. 这一项理由，在描述一个歌手、演员、诗人、作者、偶像等等的时候，非常有用。

对于部分考生来说，有些词汇考生自己说起来都会觉得不好意思，因为实在词穷，用来用去都用烂了。夸漂亮一定是beautiful, 夸性格好一定是nice、friendly、outgoing, 夸认真工作一定是hardworking, 夸作品好一定是good。翻来覆去的使用的都是一样的词汇，自然不会帮助我们提高。我们在托福口语考试中要使用一些可以打动人心的词汇。比如：

外表类：fabulous, gorgeous, neat, normal looking, regular

性格类：tenacious, persistent, stubborn, warm-hearted, generous

工作类：workaholic, enthusiastic, determined, laser-focused, devoted

作品类：impressive, touching, entertaining, unique, hideous

作为人物类话题，小编就根据朋友这个话题在详细解析下：

In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a good friend? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.

Which do you think is the most important quality of a strong friendship: loyalty, honesty or sense of humor? Explain why? Please include details and examples in your response.

Describe a special friend in your childhood, why he or she is special to you? Include reasons and details to support your response.

以上的这几个话题要求考生们对朋友所具备的品质和特性有所掌握，当然第二个题目也给出了一些提示：loyal、honest、humorous, 都是描述朋友常用的形容词。除了这些，通过brainstorming我们还可以想到：

supportive 支持的/kind-hearted 热心的/reliable 可靠的/sociable 善交际的/creative 有想象力的/candid 直率的/caring 关心人的/generous 慷慨的/sympathetic 有同情心的/thoughtful 体贴的

因此，我们的topic sentence可以说For me, a good friend should be supportive and humorous. 或者For me, a true friend ought to be thoughtful and generous. 当然，supportive和humorous可以替换成任何描述朋友的形容词。

对于第一个主题句，接下来的supporting details可以这样来发挥：First, friends always have many things in common, in other words, they like to do the same things or have similar characters. So, it is no surprise that good friends always support you when you have to make choices. Even though having different ideas, a good friend can understand you and support your choice. Also, a humorous friend can always brighten you up. If you feel down or upset, it’s lucky to have a friend who can tell jokes for you or take you to do some funny things.

对于第二个主题句，可以用以下的话来支持它：First of all, a thoughtful and considerate friend can make you feel safe and comfortable. When you get sick or get hurt when playing sports, you will forget about the pain and suffering with the caring from your friends. A thoughtful friend also will consider your feeling and well-being when he does or says something in front of someone else. Secondly, a good friend can be very generous when you are in trouble or in need. We can see that many successful people got a lot of help materialistically and spiritually from their friend. Thus, a generous friend may be the key when you are heading for your success.

对于这个话题，小编在给大家带来一篇范文：

There are several characteristics that I think a true friend should have. First, a true friend should be sincere. That means he or she becomes my friend just for me, not for my possession, power or other considerations. And a true friend should be candid, which means when I’m going to do something wrong, he or she would dissuade me and they would not just flatter me but point out my defects. Second, I believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When I’m in trouble, he or she is here and supports me; when I’m depressed, he or she would stay with me and encourage me. In addition, a true friend should be reliable enough so that I can share my secrets and feelings with him or her. Therefore, I think these are the important characteristics that a true friend should have.

说道朋友这个话题，其实可以把他当做明星来描述，这样换个角度，你会发现，你的朋友其实有很多的优点，这样你就可以畅所欲言的说了。

托福口语素材分类汇总之人物类

托福口语在托福考试中是非常考验同学们反应能力和平时备考时的积累的部分，在备考托福时，同学们需要积累一些必备的素材。

1. Person=Personalities

1. Parents

My mother is the person whom I admire most due to her so many good personalities like talented, tolerant and most of all, her spirit of dedication. First of all, she is such a talented person who not only has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most beautiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as she is in the daily life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.

2. Teacher (万能人物;可替换的角色有：parent, leader, friend, ideal spouse, celebrity)

A good teacher should have the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance.

Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional

concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heights. Just like an old saying goes, " GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, TEACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of every good teacher.

3. Friends

A good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and

positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions when I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend Nana just sat besides me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying that I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard would be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”, we seldom do it when we face up with the worse situation. At this time, a positive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule.

In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my response. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”

4. Leader

A good leader should have these criteria:

1. Have a vision.

Effective leaders and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a direction—an attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you don't know where you are going, you are irrelevant to your followers. With a vision you can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights—an important function of any leader.

2. Seize opportunity.

Look for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especially those that come from different backgrounds and age groups.

3. Communication is key.

Be accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executing orders does not work in today’s environment. The person at the top cannot be the only leader. There have to be various people within the company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are waiting to be told what to do. That doesn’t work.

4. Be proactive.

Promote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organization. Be accountable for what you do. If there is an issue in the company, don’t say you didn’t know anything about it. Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.
