2018年6月【托福口說】考題預測、5月考情分析

5月份托福口說考題,除了三選一依舊,還出現難度較高的比較優缺點題目。在分析口說預測之前,先幫同學們快速帶過托福口說6題的題型架構解析:Task 1 & 2類似寫作的獨立題型,大致上分成3種(分類與優缺點分析、二選一/同意或反對、三選一)Task 3 & 4整合題型(同意或反對)Task 5論點闡述(做出選擇)Task 6改述。

托福口說獨立型題目:注意優缺點對照題型


Task 1 & 2跟托福作文獨立題型相似,都會出現需要分類、選擇像是令考生頭痛的「3選1」的題型。若更細分;Task 1按照题目問法可以分為以下4種: 「3選1」、「開放觀點」、「建議」和「描述」4種類型,Task 2則主要會出現「2選1」類和「是非類」2種類型。5月份我們為各位整理出的獨立題型Task 1 & Task 2 分類如下:

考試時間 考試題目 題型問法
05月06日 Task 1
Which of the following characteristics do you think would be the most important for a person who is going to start a new small business?
  • being outgoing and friendly
  • being creative and imaginative

3選1
Task 2
Do you agree or disagree that it is not good for children to know too soon about life's difficulties. Give specific reasons to support your answer.
是非類
5月19日 Task 1
Talk about at least 1 advantage/ disadvantage about not being active on social website and social media.
開放觀點類
Task 2
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is acceptable that someone use other's influence to get a job.
是非類
5月26日 Task 1
Your friend wants to attend a summer school to graduate one year earlier from the university. Talk about an advantage and/or a disadvantage of doing this.
開放觀點類
Task 2
Your university decided to allow local communities to listen in the campus, they could enter into the class, but can't ask questions and don't have assignments. Do you agree or not agree?
是非類

從「題型問法」中我們看到,Task 1 「3選1」和「開放觀點類」出現機率各佔50%,Task 2 則是「是非類」大滿貫4場都出現。至於主題方面,從題目總表我們發現,本月還是以「校園」和「生活相關」為主。比較值得一提的是107/5/26出現的Task 1以類似GRE般的題目出現:優缺點對照題型。注意下面題目中紅字的 “an” 主要是提醒大家,若題目指要求各提出 “1” 個優缺點,就無需畫蛇添足提出2個甚至3個,一來會花更多時間,二來不符合題目要求也許反而被扣分。


2018/5/29 Task 1口說考題優缺點對照題型應答方式架構範本


Your friend wants to attend a summer school to graduate one year earlier from the university. Talk about an advantage and/or a disadvantage of doing this.

The practice of attending a summer school to graduate one year earlier could be a boon and a bane. The major advantage of doing this is being allowed more time that could be dedicated to other practical undertakings.

For example, if graduating earlier, the friend could launch the first career in life, beginning to build up wealth and work experiences with a jump-start. On the other hand, the ability to accomplish this suggests above-the-average academic strength, which provides an edge in applying for a higher degree.

It must be noticed, though, that this practice may also be disadvantageous; while the graduate, being younger than most future colleagues, may not be as psychologically mature to deal with the office culture totally different from the campus, what has been learned in summer sessions may also be less in-depth than regular training during the semester.

托福口說整合型題目:新題出現幅度增加

Task 3 + Task 5:校園場景相關

task3聽力觀點
task3閱讀主題
task5主題

在Task 3中,5月份出現的閱讀主題大多是「校園相關政策」,聽力的反對和支持聲浪出現1:1的勢均力敵。Task 5的主題則全部為「時間衝突」。
【2018年5月【托福口說】考題預測、4月考情分析 】提過針對「反對觀點」的題目,閱讀中一般會出現兩個理由,而聽力中,則會針對這兩點理由提出疑問,像是政策的漏洞和忽略的點,並且提供細節和理由。

2018/5/26 Task 3口說考題作答範本

In the reading passage, it is mentioned that a professor sent a letter requesting the school to bar students from entering the botanical garden on the campus. This request is based on two reasons: first, as the students enter the garden, they will tread on the flowers and grasses, which are planted for research; second, the students are free to go to other gardens for the purposes of entertainment and relaxation.
Disagreeing with this letter, the speaker counters that students will not step on the flowers and grasses as long as a notice sign is raised to remind them. On the other hand, although the students do have other choices, yet they are simply too far while many students do not have a car nor available buses to get to.

提供的答案範本裡,[two reasons……relaxation.]的部分為閱讀,裡面說明了教授2個不讓學生進到花園的理由,[that students……buses to get to.]則為學生反對的2個理由。Task 3 主要為summarize 聽力和閱讀的重點,考試時多利用團隊為您分析答題脈絡,擷取聽力和閱讀重點加以summarize即可。

Task 4 + Task 6:學術場景相關

Task4
Task6

5月份的主題分佈較4月份來的多元。Task 4的主題只有25%落在「生物學」,其它都由社會學主題包辦,而Task 6的部分則是「生物學」佔50%,剩下由「地質學」和「社會學」主題各佔一半。比較值得一提的是5月份出現的新題比以往來的多。

2018/5/6 Task 4口說考題作答範本

What has been explored in the reading passage is the idea that some animals tend to cluster and cooperate to tide over a challenging situation. To illustrate this special biological phenomenon, the professor uses an ant in the eastern US as the example. What’s so special about this ant is that they build complicated tunnels across their underground nests. When the tunnels and nests are flooded by torrential rains, they will rush out of the nests, binding themselves with one another both by their feet and their jaws until they turn into a ball-shaped entity. This mechanism allows them to stay buoyant on water without being drowned until they are washed to dry land.

Task 4的重點在聽力,聽力內容裡會使用一個例子[To illustrate this……]來闡述閱讀的論點[What has been……situation.]新題通常容易再出現的機率很高,請同學們特別留意。

托福口說考題預測:練習「三選一」、「優缺點比較」題型

同學們在家務必針對提供的各種題型多多練習,練習時也切記要使用手機或是計時器來衡量作答時間上的訓練,畢竟托福正式考的作答時間有限制,平常練習時可以比正式考時間減少1-2秒作答,正式考時才會更上手。
