重考相隔3個禮拜. 我檢討學習方式. 問題在於練習不足, 難在15秒內快速找出適當的理由和例子, 造成緊張. 所以土法煉鋼, 開始蒐集Q1/2的考題. 總共收集了五百多題, 把他們整理by common theme (activity, culture, place, technology, time, food, health, alone vs. group, big vs. small, indoor vs. outdoor, new vs. old, taking risk or not, etc.). 雖然網路上的解答並不都是標準, 而且北美考題很少重複, 但還是能藉此吸取別人的ideas. "新托福口語真經3"對這幫助很多. 同時, 用"TOEFL recorder"錄答案. 強迫在45秒內講7個句子. 前後錄了三百五十題解答. 有空用手機播放. 雖然錄音蠻費時間和精力, 但對學習很有幫助. 講話變快, ideas變多, 憑感覺知道45秒的長度. 考試前幾天, 對每題快速冥想兩個reasons. 比如, do you agree that children should grow up in countryside? 馬上想 1) greater sense of community, 2) less air pollution and noises. 這樣可確定能快速找到理由, 而例子可以臨場編. 感覺壓力變小很多.
最後的兩個拿高分的建議:
*知己知彼, 必勝之道. 有必要了解ETS的記分方式: 23 (fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair); 24 (good, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair); 25 (does not exist); 26 (good, good, fair, fair, fair, fair); 27 (good, good, good, fair, fair, fair); 28 (good, good, good, good, fair, fair); 29 (good, good, good, good, good, fair); 30 (good, good, good, good, good, good). 我把精力專注於Q1/2是乎不聰明. 其實Q3/5和Q4/6反而比較容易拿高分因為不必想內容. 只要在任何一題拿到good, 就24分. 如果兩個good's, 就26分! 所以要注意時間的利用.
*看清楚問題要什麼: compare two positions, provide any example or provide your own opinion. 必須完整地回答.
4) Writing(30): The structure, content and length (I wrote 350, 550 words) of your essays are the key to high scores. Grammar and spelling are not as crucial. Notefull is also extremely helpful for this part.
My 2 cents. 參考就好.
Best of luck to you all!作者: bahama 时间: 2015-6-8 12:02
