新托福机考口语的难点和突破点
新托福在取代之前的旧托福考试之后，机考口语一直是很多同学感到陌生和不适应的地方。新托福口语考试需要考生基于个人经历、校园环境和学术性材料提出的各种问题用英语表述、并回答。一共6道题。前两道题是独立口语任务，考生需要依据自己的观念、简介或经历来回答问题。相对后面的题，回答起来比较自由、简单。 另外四道题是综合口语任务。综合任务是因为它听说兼顾，或者听、读和说结合。考生需要听一段对话或节选的讲座片段，或读一篇文章然后听一个简短的讨论或讲座的节选，最后答题。
新托福口语考试具有一定的难度。比如，前两道独立口语任务是以一问一答的形式展开，考生在了解问题后只有十五秒的准备时间，然后用四十五秒钟将回答通过麦克风录入电脑头脑中。如果对考试内容很陌生，考生一定会很乱，不知道该从何说起，可能会东一句，西一句的，毫无条理性。建议考生把自己的思路、想法落实到书面上，用笔记来帮助整理你的思路。平时练习的时候也可以将自己的回答像写作文一样，一字一句的把写下来、修改语病。然后大声读熟，再重新回答问题。这样把一套题目练熟之后，再进行下一套题目的练习。另外，独立口语任务也可以拿作文题目当口语练。
综合口语任务的难点在于理解、记录听力内容，并用自己的话做口语复述。可以先锻炼自己听抄、听记的能力。然后练习将记录的信息用口语自然的表述。每道题按此方法反复练习几遍，必会提高听力和口语表达能力。平时练习是要注重日常、校园生活场景以及学术场景。考生可以就现有的托福口语教材为依据，直接对口语题目中的文稿做出总结归纳、口语复述。
机考口语的评分是人评分，内容的逻辑展开和具体细节的表述最重要，其次是流利，发音能明白就可以，因为托福考的是母语非英语的人的英语水平。美国人评分是比较公平公正公道的，他们会根据全球母语非英语的平均水平确定的。要练就好的发音，平时可以多看美国电影，听多了，也就对外国人的发音和表达以及表达逻辑更为敏感。这种潜移默化的影响对学生的听力、口语、甚至是写作都有积极的帮助。
优秀口语答案必备的七大要素
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 anormal 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 practise, the more confident you'll become.
