口語部分
今年一共有47場托福考試,其中1月6日分成上下午考場。截止發表文章為止,已進行了45場(至12月8日最后一場)托福口語考試。以下數據均統計于這45場考試之中。
TASK 1

總結:
由此可見,2018年托福口語獨立題Task1中,“三選一”的題型會持續升溫。
此類題型需要考生在回答中迅速鎖定一個目標進行答題。給出三個備選方案中一般會出現一個比較容易又保險的選項,比如涉及到環境保護,校園生活,城市規劃,課后活動等話題。答題時候,可以先選擇一個說其優點,再攻擊另外兩個選項的缺點,但是比例一定要掌握好。
在考場上要在短時間內想出合適的答案并不是很輕松,所以同學們不僅要在課上掌握老師講解的三選一答題方法,也要在平時生活中多積累獨立題部分的素材和經驗。
除此之外,還需要特別注意“建議類”和“優缺點”的積累和練習。最近這兩類話題經常圍繞著“租房”和“開公司”這兩個以前不怎么考的話題展開。可以多準備相關素材。
TASK 2
TASK 2題型問法還是最經典的
“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?”以及
“Some people prefer A…Others prefer B…Which do you prefer?”這兩種。
具體數據可參考下圖:
而話題分類我們可以看見教育,個人成長,科技,社會事件這幾大類占比比較大。
具體數據如下圖:
下面來看一些2018年真題例子

總結:
教育類和個人成長類話題占比最大,2019年應該不會降低數量,同學們可以多準備此類話題比如團隊合作,課堂筆記,要不要參考同學家長建議等等。此外,科技話題比如網絡課程,電子設備。所以不光要了解手機網絡跟電腦的信息,也要了解每個部分的優缺點在哪。所以日常積累話題和素材很重要。
在今年這45場考試之中,獨立題TASK 1-2的考題,完全一樣的題目重復出現了4次。所以每一次的獨立題的真題題目都很寶貴和具有參考價值。
明年參加托福考試的同學們一定要把今年的這90多題獨立題都練習一下,類似的話題或者說原題是絕對會重復出現的,全部練習一遍,底氣一定會更足的!!!
我把今年的90題獨立題都按照順序整理好了,大家可以參考最下面的附錄。
TASK 3
今年和前幾年相比,題型話題并沒有產生太大的變化。改善設施,教育學習,校園活動,餐廳,寢室還是第三題經常考的話題。
具體數據可參考下圖:
總結:
校園類場景話題,需要考生進行有預測性的語料積累。
題目多涉及設施的改善,場所的營業時間,寢室,咖啡廳修建等話題,學業相關的題目在分類上,著重考察學術氛圍的營造和學習方法的探究,比如common room需不需要開放,學術論文的修改和計劃等等。
另外,第三題閱讀分為Announcement(學校通知)和Proposal(學生提議)兩種類型,特別需要注意,在口語答題時候的主語和人稱不要混淆。
TASK 4
從今年的真題數據來看,生物仍然占了主導地位,和TPO以及前兩年的真題保持一致。另外心理學和商務也是兩大巨頭。剩余的學科包括環境科學,文學,歷史,藝術,地質,天文,農業,總的來說都占比不高,但是在平日練習過程中也需要涉獵一二,了解一些基礎的背景知識。
具體數據如下:
總結:
明年“生物,心理,商業”依然會是三大巨頭。同學在練習過程中,應該以這些話題為重。但是其余的學科還是需要知識的儲備。比如天文,地質和考古是學生普遍比較頭疼的話題,但是如果事先掌握一些背景相關的知識比如風化weathering,天體名稱,就會容易理解很多。BBC的各種紀錄片話題涉獵廣泛,若學有余力,可以就自己感興趣或者想要進一步深入了解的學科進行查閱和學習。
另外,第四題答題特別需要注意時態的使用,比如教授出現personal experience或者controlled experiment這些需要過去時答題,但是如果是動植物的universal rules則需要一般現在時答題。學生往往忽略這個問題,憑自己想象和喜好來答。
TASK 5
第五題和第三題都是屬于校園場景類話題,同樣考察目的都是看同學們是否可以適應國外的校園生活,如果遇到困難,如何進行解決。
話題主要分為,時間沖突,校園活動,寢室安排問題,金錢問題和學習問題。
具體數據如下圖:
總結:
明年這些題型應該還是大頭,特別是時間沖突類題型。通常需要在自身利益和人際關系、課程之間進行選擇。比如男生答應替女生晚上去dining hall cover the shift,但是忘記自己晚上同時還要參加band rehearsal。或者女生去給奶奶接機和生物復習課沖突等等。
需要注意的是,第五題在選擇自己更偏好的選項之后,需要進行有如辯論一般的解答,最好各方面都滴水不漏。既要“攻擊對方的缺點”也需要可以“彌補自身的缺點,并說出自身的優點”。這不是一題兩題就馬上整理清楚思路的,需要多練習多思考多解決。
TASK 6
和第四題比較類似的是,今年的生物又毫無疑問占了最大的比重,超過一半的題目都是生物類話題。剩余學科包括商務,社會學,環境科學,藝術,文學,天文,地質等等。
具體數據如下圖:
總結:
生物普遍占主導優勢。生物分為動物學zoology和植物學botany兩種。常考動植物如何覓食prey,如何防御天敵predators,如何適應環境adapt to the environment,因需求而發展出各種各樣的special body features或者adaptation。
在此類話題中,經常涉及比較專業的動植物名字,比如豪豬porcupine,管鼻藿fulmar,車矢菊star thistle,臭鼬skunk,螨mite,蚜蟲aphid等等。同學們遇到此類詞匯,也完全不需要驚慌失措,因為老外他們自己也不知道這個是什么,就比如中文中“管鼻藿”我們也完全不知道是什么東西。所以在聽力的過程中,按照發音簡單記錄下這個詞,只要大致知道的分類是鳥,魚,花,草即可。此時同學們再加深發音就好。
當然了, 學有余力的同學可以多接觸BBC紀錄片,歐美的各種脫口秀節目,聽原版小說的有聲讀物,做配音練習和模仿都是可以提高口語語感,語音語調和分數的不錯的方法哦。
