很多中国学生都会觉得托福的听力很难,原因可能有很多:
u# M1 g+ k. X) g; z9 I- S 不习惯美式发音,平时少听native speakers讲话,少听录音带,词汇量和知识面跟不上,口语不好等原因。6 C" X4 o" ]7 R1 Z
口语不好也会影响听力?! 当然会!托福的听力很大一部分是对话,都是一些日常用语,如果口语不好当然听不懂。 所以,托福听力材料也是最好的口语学习材料。要想提高听力,光死听死没有用的,还要注意分析听力原文。学习口语表达方法,多阅读,多方面结合才能有正在的提高。"潇潇语言实验室"现推出"托福口语听力篇",希望对大家有点帮助。每集都是根据历届的托福真题编写。有编号的句子都是托福听力原文,一些补充例句也是托福原文。
/ B( g( p- N, }. O 每集的句子摘自同一套托福听力题。
