托福口语万金油词汇有哪些
托福口语“万金油”：必备词组、理由、例子整理托福口语考试总让人猝不及防，看到考题，脑子里面一片空白的几率高达99.9999%....如何解决这个问题?靠积累!也就是要看考托党们平时对“素材”的掌控度，练习度，还有活学活用度。其实，托福口语考试并不难，考生第一眼看到考题，15秒内想出三个不同的形容词或者词组，作为三层理由，然后逐一举例子展开即可。如果你想要上27分，你就需要这些“万金油”词组，理由，例子la.....(都帮你整理了，不要太感谢，我是雷锋!)1.兴趣》音乐I am a 200% music fan! I’ve got almost every collection of Eric Clapton, a very popular American guitarist and whenever I want to escape from my laborious homework, all that I do is just use my walkman to enjoy Eric’s beautiful lyrics! I will have a blast! And, According to my mom’s memory, I have been enjoying singing in the public ever since I was a kindergarten boy! Then, I started my own rock band and made several records of my songs and used them as gifts to my friends in my high-school graduation ceremony. And now I still love singing songs but only to myself but to my beloved girl as well. I am nuts about music!2.政治/ 一次XX的经历I may go into politics, just like Bill Clinton. I used to run for student body president of my university. Because if I want to become a politician one day, I should get some experience under my belt now. On that day, I gave an election speech in front of 1500 people including my best friends and my teachers. It so was fortunate that none of them noticed I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help trembling. I kept telling myself that I must hold on, and at last I won it by a hair, just 10 votes. My girlfriend Alexandre rushed onto the stage and gave me a quick kiss. That really made my day!3.礼物,发明》》电脑I am a frequent user of computer. If I intend to get access to a variety of information around the world, I will usually surf the Internet with my computer, browsing and downloading everything interesting or useful to me. When I want to write and edit some articles, I use the word processor on the computer, which has a lot of functions that make my work much easier. If I need to make some statistic analysis, I also use the computer software like SPSS, which can relieve me of much manual calculation. In fact, my computer has become my indispensable part of my life and study, I really need it!4.最想去的地方/ 国家: (最想去新加坡)If I’ve got a chance to go to any country in the world, I will choose Singapore without hesitation. It has been attracting me ever since my best friend Robby went to the Singapore National University three years ago.From his E-mail, I knew that the weather in Singapore will never be too cold. That means I could free myself from thick and heavy clothes and enjoy lovely sunshine every day. (I can tell the life there must be snug and comfortable.)Besides, surrounded by the Indonesian Ocean, Singapore is famous for its abundant and delicious seafood, especially lobster and sleeve-fish, which is my favorite.Still, the tropical sceneries there are also fascinating. I bet they will be much more beautiful than those in Robby’s pictures.5.三种交通工具：自行车，汽车，火车，喜欢坐哪一个?(选择自行车)Though I admire my friend Robby who has a fancy car very much, bicycle is still my favorite one.First of all, riding bicycle is a physical exercise which does good to my fitness. Every day it takes me about 20 minutes on my bike from my apartment to the university and by that I am in good shape and seldom catch a cold.Moreover, bicycle is quite friendly to our environment. It’ll create little harmful carbon dioxide to the air as trains and cars do.What’s more, it is wise to use a bicycle in rush hour when cars are desperately waiting in heavy traffic jams. And it is interesting to hear Robby saying that he also admires me of owning a bike!
考托福，需要精背多少单词
托福词汇的任务量非常艰巨，首先总的8000-10000的词汇量听起来就让人有点望而生畏。但是备考托福都是具备了一定的英语水平，据统计，如果已经达到了初中水平，那么托福词汇的生词约有6800个，高中水平的话，生词有近4000个。虽然看起来生词量已经不多，但是由于托福考试难度更大，所以很多常用词会考到不同释义。所以很多熟悉的单词还是要背一些生疏的释义。那么每天背多少个单词呢？1.每天背多少单词最好我们以记忆6800个词汇为例，计算一下时间。如果每天10个单词，两年背完；每天20个，1年背完；每天100个，两个月背完；每天200个，1个月背完；每天400个，半个月背完……这只是粗略的估计，背完单词以后还需要及时复习。单词量的背记要根据自己的备考时间来定。很多同学可能会觉得2个月略长，400个单词太多，所以200个单词是个比较适中的选项，但每天200个单词也是个不小的任务量，是否能够记的住呢？2.如何记忆?从经验来讲，学生认真地背100个单词，需要用大约1-2小时的时间，刚背完的时候，大部分单词看着或听都能想起来中文意思。只要认真背，100个单词最多花2小时，200个单词最多4小时，如果每天备考时间充足的话，四个小时应该是够的。除了花足够的时间背单词外，还可以结合一些单词的记忆技巧，让背单词变的更加高效。词汇的记忆方法主要有词根词缀记忆法，联想记忆法，分类记忆法等等。另外托福词汇需要掌握的程度也不完全相同，比如写作和口语要求对单词熟练运用，但是所涉及词汇范围较小；阅读词汇量要求最高，但是只要达到认识的层面不影响阅读即可；听力的一些学术词是要能听音知意的效果。最后，要注意单词的遗忘规律，背完单词一定要每天复习，第二天也要记得复习前一天的单词，要保证单词记忆次数达到6-7遍。很多考生花了大量的时间去记忆，但是记忆的效果却是今天记了，过两天又忘了，就是因为不及时复习。
