如何掌握託福口語語速?抓住段落的核心

在託福備考的過程中，段落都是句子組成的，而句子又是由詞組來組成的。但同一句中的各個詞的分量不盡相同。也就是說，在語句中有着很多關鍵句、核心句需要我們去重點把握。下面是小編給大家整理收集的如何掌握託福口語語速，供大家參考，希望可以幫到大家!

這些關鍵詞、關鍵句表達的正是段落的重要信息，我們如果抓住了它們就等於抓住了段落的核心，就知道在什麼地方應該加快速度，什麼地方應該放慢速度，當然也就掌握了閱讀節奏。

託福口語技巧告訴我們對於關鍵詞和關鍵句應該慢讀，做到充分理解，牢牢把握;而對非關鍵詞和非關鍵句應加快閱讀速度，留出多於時間，用以反覆閱讀重點句或歸納總結。例子如下:

例1：

A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they are not significant.

在讀的過程中我們很容易找到關鍵詞, 如：cultural anthropology, the special and strange aspects of life, but, anthropologists, interested, ordinary, significant。這些關鍵詞反映了此句的主要信息："許多人認爲文化人類學就是研究特殊而奇怪的社會現象，但人類學家有時還對一些人們認爲不重要的、看起來很普通的生活現象感興趣。"通過分析關鍵詞，我們又發現"but"這個具有轉折意義的連接詞,它向我們顯示了此句的後半句纔是整個句子的核心部分，它提示我們閱讀時應更加留心閱讀後半句的關鍵詞，提煉關鍵信息。因此，我們可以很肯定地確認此句最重要的意義應該是："Anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life so ordinary that people don’t think they are significant."並且也可以很肯定地預測，如有下文，也一定是就後半句所反映的核心信息繼續論述，而不是前半句的。這樣，在閱讀時，我們就會把目光把注意力更加有目的地集中在後半句的關鍵詞上，而對那些附加修飾、說明的部分，如：修飾people的a lot of 、in the society就可以快速閱讀，甚至略去不讀，因爲它並不影響我們對中心意思的理解與把握，以上講述的是我們讀文章時的方法，那麼我們說的時候也要注意，雖然不能略讀，但是突出關鍵詞對於託福口語分數還是很有幫助的。

例2：

Smell and Memory

Scientists are producing an increasing number of findings on the links between smell and memory. The most prominent scientist in this field is Dr. Alan Hirsch, a US neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients who have lost their sense of smell or taste. He believes that the memories that certain smells bring back to people are not actually as important as the emotions that are associated with the smells. He also argues that our minds filter these emotions in a positive way, making past times seem better than they perhaps were.

首先,我們注意到這個託福口語段落的題目是"Smell and Memory"，我們從題目中還得知了中心思想。因此我們可以得知本段主要論述的應是smell and memory之間的聯繫，由此找到了關鍵詞語"the links between smell and memory"(在段首)，而能說明它們之間關係的句子又是最後一句。所以，這個段落的核心信息是："Some smells remind us of a previous thing in a way that is better than the real experience."由此判定，本段的首尾部分都需細心地、稍慢地閱讀，而對"最著名的;專門治療何種病人的"這樣相對次要的句子就可以加快閱讀速度。

Despite the temptation to complain immediately, I prefer to keep a cool head and wait to write a letter. Complaining immediately does give some emotional satisfaction and the listener can see the very real upset I am feeling, but it might miss the point of complaining. A letter lets me document the incident and is less likely to end in hard feelings and yelling at someone. After all, the purpose of the letter is to file a formal record or complaint that must be dealt with. Perhaps the service person needs more training. furthermore, I need to find the person in authority that can act on my complaint. The manager might choose to apologize or to offer me a discount to make good on the store’s policy of good service to customers. By taking my time and writing a proper letter of complaint I can express my anger and let the store do something to make me feel better about my purchase.
