分析托福口语三大转述方法

　　在备考口语的过程中，对于大家来说，转述以及概括能力是一个很大的考验。那么在进行训练的过程中，究竟有几种转述的方法呢?我们在托福训练中究竟应该怎么做呢?下面小编就详细为大家介绍一下托福口语中转述的方法。

　　分析托福口语三大转述方法

　　间接转述(Indirect Speech)

　　所谓间接转述也就是将听到的和看到的话语用自己的话以口头方式再转达出来，要用自己的话把别人的意思转述出来。在托福口语的表达过程中，针对特定问题，用自己的话把读到、听到的对话内容或演讲内容再重复出来。对于托福考生来说确实是有一定的难度的。

　　在转述中一般常见的规则就是，转述的引语连词使用that。另外，托福口语练习中要根据意思改变人称。请看下面的例题：

　　My mother said: “I’m so tired that I don’t want to cook. Shall we eat out tonight?”

　　转述：My mother said that she was so tired that she didn’t want to cook and she suggested that we should eat out that day.

　　释义、意译(Paraphrasing)

　　意译就是用你所知道的，或者对你来说较容易的词汇、短语、以及语法去解释那些较为难懂的语句。

　　概述(Summarizing)

　　就是用简练话语概括描述一篇材料的中心思想。概述主要就是对整篇文章的方向、内容、或是一个事件的简单描述。概述与论述相对应，论述需要详细的描述该事实的前因后果，力求详细完整。

　　托福备考口语练习题——口语task5题目

　　在托福口语考试中，多数题目都是需要表达出自己的想法。这些题目除了考察考生的表达能力之外，还需要在测试学生的逻辑思维和表达能力。那么如何在托福口语考试中更好的表达出自己的想法呢?

　　task5题目 Listening Part:

　　Listen to a conversation between two students.

　　(man) Hey, Jennifer. How are things going?

　　(woman) Well, I’m relieved this is the end of semester. But that’s actually part of my problem.

　　(man) What do you mean?

　　(woman) Can you believe this? My computer broke yesterday. So it’s at the shop being repaired. It won’t be read y until the end of n ext week which is when all my papers are due.

　　(man) Why not use the computer lab? They’ve got lots of machines there.

　　(woman) I know. But it gets so noisy there that I can’t keep my mind on my work. I mean, when I’m at a computer, I’m not just typing. I’m thinking! So I need quiet to concentrate.

　　(man) Maybe you can try going in the morning or evening. It might be less noisy then.

　　(woman) Maybe. But this time of year, everybody’s working on papers. It could be crowded even then.

　　(man) Hmm. What about calling back the computer rep air shop to see if they can have your computer read y at the beginning of next week instead? That would still give you enough time to finish your papers by the end of the week.

　　(woman) Oh! I haven’t thought of that! The only problem is the shop is closed today and tomorrow for the long holiday weekend. So it’ll be a few days before I can talk to them.

　　task5 范文：

　　The woman’s problem is that her computer is broken and being repaired in the shop, now she can’t finish all her papers in time. There are two possible solutions here. The first one is that she can go to the computer lab to do all the work. The second is waiting for her computer to be repaired. I would use the computer lab to do my work if I were her. First, this way she won’t waste anytime on the weekend, and there is no guaranty that the repair shop can get her computer ready as early as the beginning of next week. Second, she can choose a time when the lab is less noisy to do her work, such as early in the morning or late in the evening.
