今天,杭州新航道托福培训小编向大家推荐的是托福听力美式思维法。那么,我们首先要知道什么是美式思维呢?
“美国人说话,有啥说啥,不会拐弯抹角”。这一点恐怕没人会反对。其实老美喜欢直截了当、直抒胸臆地表达自己的观点是个不争的事实,在托福听力中也表现的尤为明显。如果掌握了他们这种思维模式,对我们答题会产生很大的帮助。我们都应该知道,在托福作文中总是有要求说use specific details and examples to support your answer,既然美国人这样要求你,那么他必定也是这么做的。比如:
How did the game go the other night?Did your team win?
Are you kidding?That would be a first.
显然,针对比赛的胜败问题,第二人的句话便回答的很清楚:开什么玩笑?没戏。让我们无需再往下听。
其实老美说话的方式用公式总结一下就是:观点+解释。因而,今后我们在解题时,一定要争取抓住回答者说的句话,听懂了,就等于搞定90%的题目了。
例如:
(1)Are you going to Linda's party tonight?
Are you kidding?I wouldn't miss it for anything.
(2)This casserole really tastes good.I guess that's because the vegetables in it are fresh instead of canned.
I know.Kind of rare treat in this cafeteria.
(3)Could I borrow a twenty to tide me over till payday next Thursday?
You are in luck.I've just cashed the check.
(4)This spring weather is prefect for playing tennis.
Unfortunately the only time I get to enjoy it is when I'm walking to class or to the library.
(5)I found a perfect book bag but I'm about 20 dollars short.
Don't look at me.I don't get paid for another week.
(6)What on earth did you do to your eye?
Oh,nothing.It looks a lot worse than it feels.
(7)I always want a little something to eat about this time of day.
So do I.Let's have a snack now and then have a light lunch later.
需要注意的是有一种例外。那就是:如果第二人说话中含有转折结构,这种方法就失效了。切记:在转折句中,永远都是转折之后的内容最重要,无论转折词在句首,还是在句中。
以上就是杭州新航道小编对托福听力美式思维法的相关介绍,想像老美一样的“脱口而出”,需要同学们平时多花时间练习,熟练掌握之后,你会发现托福听力并不难。
