雅思口语和新托福口语考试的区别（二）

　　那针对两种考试，我们要注意什么呢？

　　1.时间。

　　据留学360加拿大留学部介绍，无论是新托福口语考试还是雅思口语考试，考生掌控时间能力的强弱对成绩有着直接影响。新托福口语考试对时间的要求更高一些。因为答题时间最多不超过1分钟。但是需要表达的信息却不能少。如第1、2中的题目属于日常话题，这两道题本身难度比较小，所以特别需要注意的就是时间的分配问题，在这45秒钟里，一般用5~6秒完成主题句。接下来的15-20给出一个支持观点和细节。然后用同样的时间给出第二个。因此如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备，积累常用的细节或者事例，考试的时候就会从容许多。

　　而雅思口语考试除了第一部分以外，第二、三部分的时间掌控主要体现在答案结构的安排。我们不能具体到每个细节用多少时间。但是除了开头和结尾的30秒外，每一个小点应该安排30-35秒左右。每一个小点如何能讲出更多的信息，如何使你的表达听起来更专业，更地道，更符合西方国家的文化习惯，是我们在考试中需要时刻记住的。其实雅思口语和新托福口语考试最大的不同在于雅思口语的单个题目答题时间比托福口语的时间要长。这就要求雅思口语的答题中细节要更加细致。其次是雅思口语考试的答案都是主观题，而新托福口语考试的综合任务大部分都是重述题目中已经给定的内容，听力的能力在新托福口语考试中至关重要。

　　2. 细节的细致程度。

　　我们来看2009年5月30日雅思口语第一部分的一个真题：Which room do you like most ? 这个题目在2008年的新托福口语第一道任务中也出现过。我们先来看一个新托福3.5~4(exccellent)分的答案：：(45秒、8句)The room I like most is defnitely my own bedroom, because I decorated it myself. My mom was so kind that she allowed me to chooes all the staff that I wanted to adnore my room, like the pink bed, the pink curtains as well as a gorgeous pink book shelf. What’s more, it is also a trustworthy friend of mine. It would remian bright even I burnt the midnight oil; it would play Marseillaise if I felt hopless and it always turns the cold shoulder to me when I make mistakes. I like my room most not only because of it is attractive by appreance, but also sincere inside。

　　我们看见，托福口语的答案有了细节和理由，加上完整的结构和正确的语法就可以了。但是雅思口语的第一题都是简答题。因此简单回答重点即可。如： it of course is my bedroom, because I decorated it myself and it is a good friend to share happines and woes。但是倘若这道题目出现在第二个部分中，答案这样是不够的。从时间上来讲，细节应该更加细致才能有足够的内容说。从内容上来说，更应注意表达的多样性。从表达上来讲，应该注意和考官的眼神交流。

　　我们来看一个7.5分的口语表达：(最好2分钟)There are a lot of rooms I like to stay in when I am at home, but among all these, I think my bedroom is on the tip of my tongue when you ask me such question. Well, I am the Chief desginer of my room and I took care of almost all the decoration purchase. I have brought all the pink staff home: the pink Bohimian bed, the pink wood book shelf as well as the pink lace curtains with a lot triangle patterns on them. I am such a huge fan of pink. Another point I would like to mention here is the loyality my bedroom represents to me. I always stay late due to a lot of assignment, but my room never has any complian. What’s more, it is always the last one to hit the hay. My bedroom is also very inspiring that it keeps playing Marseillaise if I encounters setbacks. The last point of my friend is that it blames me when I make mistakes. Like once, I had an argument with my mom because she refused to buy a new shirt for me. When I locked myself inside my room, I found the wall turns its shoulder to me that it looks white. I felt loney and regreting that probably I should not be such gready guy. That’s probably why I feel like falling in love with my tiny but fantastic bedroom.
