第四篇:实用口语之学会说地道英语口语
要想使自已的英语口语多姿多彩,魅力无穷,并能很快吸引对方,仅仅流利快速是不够的。许多英语专业毕业生在同外国人交流过程中,经常出现尴尬的场面,两个人都无法准确理解对方。中国学生语速倒是很快,但由于用词的不准确,表达方式的不贴切以及过分追求难词造成的歧义都会使双方感到交流的不畅快,所以,外国人评价中国学生的口语是“Too strange to be true!”(太奇怪,不真实)或“Too beautiful to be natural!”(用词华丽但不自然)使言谈增色,就需要你灵活运用外国人经常使用的习惯说话,包括习语,不过时 的俚语及大量的富有特色的语句。不要害怕模仿,只要运用得当,你尽可以引经据典,洋洋洒洒。
当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完,你烦透了,说“You are so boring “.(你真烦!)。“Shut up!”(闭嘴!)自然没错,可人家受得了吗?不如来一句“Oh,come on.Give me a break!”(帮帮忙,让我歇歇吧!)这多地道、多幽默。
要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine!”当然不错,可如果你说”You’re in the pink!”就妙得多了,实际上,在英语口语中,表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。
“他精力充沛”美国人说:“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。
代问他人好当然能用”Please remember me to your sister.” 或”Please give my
best wishes to your father ”不过,若是很好的朋友,何不说,“Please give my love to Jim。”
在中国可不能随便说“我想你”,然而,当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you.”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多,不妨一试。
有人开会迟到了,你若对他说 “You are late.”,听起来象是废话,若说“Did you get lost ?”,则更能让他歉然,可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。
别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要说“You can do that.”就有点土了,用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”礼貌得多,不过警察例外。
别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用“It’s my secret,Don’t ask such a personal question.”回答,一来显得你没有个性,二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say.”(还是别说了吧!)。
有时候,你想说什么,可说是想不起来,你可以说“Well „”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等,想比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。
交谈时,你可能会转换话题,不要只说“By the way ”,实际上,“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I see ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it.”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me.”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。
第五篇:脱离模版说地道托福口语
目前,托福口语在托福考试中是让中国考生望而生畏的一个部分,因为没有语言远景等一些原因,所以导致我们的口语能力并不理想。托福口语准备要怎么准备,以及托福口语特点都是帮助我们训练口语的重要部分。
托福口语难原因大部分是以下两点:
第一,中国学生缺乏英文的语言环境。
第二,心理因素。因为不敢说,不想说。
而对于模板,上海环球托福小编相信每个考生都会积累和搜集,但是,仅仅如此,很难在众多同学中脱颖而出。换位思考,对于考官,面对着众考生和那些堆砌的华丽模板,谁都会审美疲劳吧。所以,要让考官印象深刻,就得让自己的口语更地道。在这里上海环球托福小编给大家提出2点建议:
1.大量的去看口语书、多看原版电影,越生活化的越好
从电影中大量的搜集日常的对话,把它们说得要像说自己的名字那样娴熟,要说得像“What's your name? Thank you!"那样自然,然后你要对你的家人说,你不会对你的爸爸、妈妈说话也羞涩吧?你说出一句英文,你告诉他们你的中文意思就可以。
这样还能练习的你的中英互换。然后同样的句子,你对你最好的朋友说,因为她们不会笑话你说错了,谁都知道说好英语是件非常不错的事情。这样,针对不同的人说同样的话,慢慢地你会减少恐惧感,说话会比较自然、流利了。既然你能和别人说好中文,就一定能说好英文。
2.找一张自己最喜欢的原版电影
你把台词写出来,然后自己当演员,比如说像《罗马假日》,你就当那个公主,当你的大臣、还有偶然遇到的那个男主角和你说话的时候,你就做出公主的回答。一个人在家里练习,没人会笑话你的。
各种电影中有各种不同的英语口音,你又是在跟这些国际大牌明星对话,那是多么的了不得!大街上一个区区平常的外国人你还在意吗?“咱是跟大牌明星天天说话的主儿!”只要环境熟悉了,说话也就不紧张了。无非就是个熟练程度的问题。
还有,如果你真的碰到了外国人,刚开始紧张也很自然,外国人也是知道这点的。他们也会放慢语速和你交流的,说上几句适应了,你也就不紧张了,然后你告诉他(她)平时很少能和外国人交流,所以说英语势必会紧张一些,甚至有的不会说。他们能够理解。如果说他们不理解,你就直接说你那最纯正、最流利的汉语,说得他们晕头转向,照样很了不起!
以上就是平日中我们如何进行托福口语练习方法的介绍,学习语言就是要更加生活化,用语表达更加重要。所以托福口语学习也要更加注重生活化和表达能力的培养和锻炼。
在这里,上海环球托福还为大家搜集了一些美国人常挂在嘴边的20句话,生活化的用法,必须加以操练哦:

托福口语准备阶段的最后一个部分,当然就是练习口语了。消除了心理的说英语恐惧,也积累了一定的材料并总结出了自己的答题思路,这个时候就要通过实践自我考察了。上海环球托福建议考生们将自己说的话录下来并做总结和分析,这样才能够认识到自己口语的不足。
