首先大家来看一看低龄考生的特点:
1.家长期望值过高
对托福考试难度的不了解,和身边的人对国外教育的鼓吹,让家长对托福考试有点盲目的自信,张嘴就是100,而忽视孩子年龄小,英语底子薄弱的事实。
2.孩子学习动机不强
因为年龄偏小,对长辈安排的学习规划似懂非懂。平时在学校里也缺乏对学习的整体把控和全局意识,往往很难意识到自己正在学习什么。加之托福本身难度比较大,畏难情绪,缺乏自信心,听不懂三管齐下,不断削弱学习动机。
3.东西方思维方式碰撞
在托福口语中,这种中西方思维方式的碰撞尤为激烈。孩子比较小,在学校里的英语学习都是有非常固定的标准答案的,很难一下子转变过来。
比如,提到许多就是many, lot of, 对于plenty of, tens of thousands of 这种同类型的基础词组基本不会考虑。再比如,对于offer, available 等等这种中文里没有准备对应解释的单词,学生很难灵活运用。
针对低龄考生的以上特点,大家觉得应该如何应对呢?根据这些特点,提升广大低龄考生及注意以下几点,后面小编也会根据实际例子来为大家分享提升低龄考生托福口语成绩。
1.家长或者老师要多给考生鼓励,就给予适当的信心。
2.让你龄考生了解托福口语考试,知道托福口语内容并掌握它们。
3.根据中西方文化的差异,家长或老师要引导他们转变思维方式。
这里小编就以Task1的一道题为例为大家详细讲解。
Task 1
给出Task 1的题型信息,让学生对题目有一个大致的了解
题型:就某一问题给出自己的开放性观点

举例:
if a high school is planning to organize an after-school activity for its students, what kind of activity would you recommend and why?
给出核心观点:
sports meeting
1.get exercise
2.bond our relationship
分开阐述:
1.get exercise
There are a number of sports.
A sports meeting makes it possible for us to get rid of the stress temporarily from our study
2.bond our relationship
We learn the spirit of competition and cooperation through individual and team sports.
汇总:
Personally, I would definitely recommend a sports meeting.
Here are two reasons as listed. First of all, we can get some exercise as there are a number of sports. To be specific, a sports meeting makes it possible for us to get rid of the stress temporarily from our study and take some physical exercise in a relaxed way. Second, it helps bond our relationship between classmates. We learn the spirit of competition and cooperation through both individual and team sports. Therefore, a sports meeting is a favourable after-school activity that I would recommend.
在练习的时候,只需要表达出最基本的框架和词组就好,在了解考试内容的基础上,通过实战去增加词汇量,熟悉解题思路。为后面托福打好基础。
