托福口语高分秘籍：思路至上

很多同学认为，只有高端大气上档次的思路加上华丽的词汇句型才是获得口语高分的制胜武器。ETS在托福考试中设立口语考试的目的是为了考察学生是否能用英语谈论自己的经历，发表自己的观点，是否能够和同学进行日常的沟通，是否能听懂老师的授课并总结课堂重点。

说白了就是想看看你能不能用英语进行正常的沟通，试想我们平时上课或者和同学，朋友聊天的时候，会成天想着旁征博引，绞尽脑汁搜成语想句式么，当然不会了！所以单纯用词汇和句子来高分的想法是错误的。

托福口语考试更加注重的是在规定的时间内，考试是否能把自己的观点讲清楚，这里的清楚指的观点明确，逻辑清晰，理由和细节充分。举例说明：

Some people think it is more fun to spend time with friends in restaurants or cafes. Others think it is more fun to spend time with friends at home. Which do you think is better? Explain why?

这是ETS官方给出的一道例题，同时也给出了满分答案，如下：

I actually only spend time with my friends in restaurants and cafes, almost never at home.
　　Because my apartment is too small and there’s almost nothing to do.

On the other side, in cafes or restaurants, there are more people and the atmosphere is usually good. There is some music playing or usually we can discuss things and meet other　people and meet people we do not know possibly. There is always chance to get to know someone and it is always exciting.

For me it is much more exciting than just staying at home. And in the environment that I know and familiar with I think it’s boring.

现在让我们来分析一下，单单从内容上来看，同学们有没有发现，通篇没有我们常说的“高大上”的词汇，也没有酷炫的句型，那为什么人家能得满分呢？

首先，观点明确：I only spend time with my friends in restaurants and cafes, almost never at home. 清晰的告诉评分者自己的立场是喜欢和朋友在外面聚会。

其次，逻辑清晰，理由明确，细节丰富。这位同学用了Because和On the other hand来区分两个理由。虽然没有什么高大上的词汇和句型，但是句子和句子之间过渡自然。他详细的解释了和朋友在咖啡馆聚会的好处。There are more people，atmosphere is good，music playing， we can discuss things，meet other people, exciting...而且用词都简洁准确。

所以，对于备战托福的同学们来说，大家应该能了解到，口语分数的高低，不是由词汇决定的。
