1.间接转述(Indirect Speech)
请看下面几例：
例1：My mother said: “I’m so tired that I don’t want to cook. Shall we eat out tonight?”
My mother said that she was so tired that she didn’t want to cook and she suggested that we should eat out that day。
例2：Tom said: “I’ve already seen the film。”
Tom said that he had already seen the film。
间接转述应注意以下几点规则：
⑴在转述的引语前一般要用连词that：(如例1、例2所示);
⑵要根据意思改变人称;
⑶当要转述的言语为连贯的话语时，应用go on(继续)，continue(接着)，add(补充)等，以及各种引述动词，如：note(指明)，remark(谈及)
⑷
2.释义、意译(Paraphrasing)
托福口语学习中Paraphrase (to express in a shorter or clearer way what someone has written or said) 就是用你所知道的，或者对你来说较容易的词汇、短语、以及语法去解释那些较为难懂的语句。
3.概述(Summarizing)
Summarize (to make a short statement giving only the main information and not the details of a plan, event, report, etc。) 就是用简练话语概括描述一篇材料的中心思想。
托福口语学习以上就是托福考试的听、读材料，材料都不长，三言两语即可概括全文的中心意思，没必要长篇大论。当然，时间也不允许这样做。所以，高度概括的托福考试口语表达能力是顺利通过托福口语考试的法宝之一。更多托福备考信息尽在
