託福口語中的地道連接詞
如何才能避免託福口語中“黑色”的三秒鐘呢?其實要想使我們講的託福口語聽起來連貫通暢，只要我們在出現“黑色三秒鐘”的時候迅速使用英語中地道的語氣連接詞(美國人叫 GAP FILLER)就可以了。這就像我們中國人在演講忘詞兒的時候總要使用“這個這個…”是一個道理。下面小編給大家帶來託福口語中的地道連接詞。
託福口語中的地道連接詞
1.“WELL”美國人最爲常用的GAP FILLER莫過於WELL。他們在交流時，當聽話者想要讓說話者知道自己正在準備說話時，就會先用一個WELL攬過話茬。通常這個詞的要用升調。例如：
A：When are you going to take a trip to Italy?
B: Well, I have been preparing for that for a long time and I think it will be in next month。
2. “UHMM”這個詞也是美國人超級愛用的語氣詞。發音時就是發出“啊”的音之後再閉上嘴繼續“木”音。通常情況下，這個詞用來告訴聽話者：“我正在思考你所提出的問題”例如：
A：Are you gonna be available this Sunday afternoon?
B: Uhmmmmm… I am not sure and please let me check my schedule。
3. “YOU KNOW”這個我想大家都非常熟知。雖然表面意思是“你知道的”但是更多時候說話者使用了這個詞之後馬上就要繼續闡述自己的觀點。例如：
A：What would you like to have?
B: Well,you know,like always,Orange Chicken!
4. “It‘s like…”美國年輕人超級愛使用這個句式，有時候它被用來打比方但是更多時候是用來打比方同時拖延思考時間。例如：
A：How was the show on Sunday?
B: Uhmm, it‘s like…it‘s like the one we saw together last year。
5. “I mean”這個是我們考託福口語時的殺手鐗，因爲有很多的考生在回答問題時，說着說着就跑題了無法自圓其說。爲了防止這種現象的出現，我們要迅速反應拉回話題。這時候我們就要用“I MEAN”例如：
A: Would you please tell me more about your former university?
B: Oh,yes,sure, I went abroad when I was a junior and came back one year later.I transfered to another school right after I came back. Oh, I am sorry, I mean I do not really know that much of it。
除了這些語氣連接詞以外，我們還有好多方法拉長我們的語氣以贏得更多的思考時間，例如轉折詞but 和 連詞 and,當我們使用它們時，我們完全可以這樣發音“butummmm”和 “andummmm”這樣我們就可以獲得充足的時間進行思考從而完美的說出下面的具體內容。

託福口語題目：
Which of the following activities should the university give rewards to its high performance? (1). Volunteer service (2)etic achievement (3). Academic performance
託福口語參考答案：
Well, personally, I would say school should reward students who are active in doing social volunteer work. Actually, university is not merely about sports and academics, and frankly, we have paid too much attention in these areas and it seems like we downplay the importance of volunteering. Voluntary activities should be a big part of university life, one should be compassionate about others, especially the unlucky ones. One will feel like they are needed by the community and having something to offer back to society gives them a sense of purpose.

Which kind of extracurricular activity would you like to attend if you have a chance: writing essays for students’ newspaper, joining a hiking club or working in the dormitory discipline committee?
託福口語參考答案：
Personally, I would like to join a hiking club. First off, if I hike in the mountains, I can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and escape from the concrete jungles, busy street and the crowd. I can get close to mother nature, so I can keep myself refreshed. At the same time, I get a chance to breath fresh air and enjoy the breeze out in the wild. Additionally, one can do other interesting activities outdoors, like go fishing, setting up a camp fire and stuff like that. Hiking club can help me to bond with friends and people who have the same interest and hobby.
託福口語範文：爲將來做詳細計劃
託福口語題目：
Some people prefer to make detailed plans for the future. Others prefer to concentrate on present things and don't make any plans at all. Which way do you prefer? Please use specific reasons to support your answer.
託福口語參考答案：
Well, personally, I prefer to make plans about things in life. To begin with, if I don't make plans ahead of time, there will be obvious drawbacks. It might throw me off my tight schedule, you know, as a college student, sometimes, I am overwhelmed with all kinds of assignment, like presentations, group projects and stuff. Additionally, if I don't make a plan, things might not work in a way I want it to be. For example, if I just randomly decide to travel together with my friends without careful planning, we might not even have a hotel to live in since it might be booked out. So, we'd better make a plan, book the hotel and figure out the itinerary.
