Authentic Connectives in TOEFL Spoken English

# Oral # Introduction The conjunctions mentioned here are not conjunctions in composition, but some spoken words that can be used when people pause in order to avoid the "embarrassment" that people may cause when they think. The following are authentic conjunctions in TOEFL oral English. Welcome to read!

1. Real connectives in TOEFL spoken language

How can we avoid the "black" three seconds in TOEFL oral English? In fact, in order to make our spoken TOEFL sound coherent and fluent, we only need to use the usual conjunctions in English quickly when there is "black three seconds". 1. The most commonly used fill-in-the-blank word in America is WELL. When they communicate, when the listener wants to let the speaker know that he is ready to speak, he will first take over the conversation with a well.

The word "uhmm" is also a modal particle that Americans love to use. Pronunciation is to pronounce "ah" and then shut up and continue to pronounce "wood".

I think everyone is familiar with "you know". Although on the surface it means "you know", more often than not, the speaker will continue to elaborate his views immediately after using this word. For example:

4. "It's slippery ..." American young people love to use this sentence. Sometimes as an analogy, but more often as an analogy, delaying thinking time.

"What I mean" is our killer weapon in TOEFL, because many candidates can't justify themselves when answering questions. In order to prevent this phenomenon, we should react quickly and get back to the point.

In addition to these mood conjunctions, there are many ways to prolong our mood so as to gain more thinking time, such as the inflectional word but and the conjunction when we use.

The answer is that only by accumulating more, practicing more and imitating more can candidates speak authentic and fluent English in the oral exam.

2. Fluent oral answers to TOEFL

The fluency of TOEFL oral answer is indeed one of the scoring criteria of TOEFL oral answer, but the fluency of TOEFL oral answer is not enough. Strict logical thinking and the use of vocabulary are very important. You must not neglect the examination of these parts. I hope everyone can refer to and learn.

The purpose of this article is to remind candidates that it is not enough to speak fluent English. Fluency may not necessarily lead to high scores, but TOEFL oral English also needs substantial content and rigorous framework structure to get high scores.

1, the new TOEFL speaking test is very challenging for candidates. Candidates have little time to think deeply. After 15 seconds of preparation, they must start talking. Moreover, the whole answer must be a very logical whole, that is to say, a complete, clear-cut and fully demonstrated answer must be given within 45 seconds. The new TOEFL test is an examination of candidates' English quality. In the oral part, candidates are required not only to speak, but also to express their thoughts in their own language. Grading is mainly based on the logical development of content and the expression of specific details, followed by fluency, as long as the pronunciation can be understood.

2. It is suggested that candidates make a small outline of their thoughts and ideas, use notes to help sort out ideas, avoid big talk, and support their views with examples. Pay attention to the logic of thinking, the organization of language and the quality of words when practicing at ordinary times. You can set up a database. After all, the preparation time of 15 second is too hasty. You can write down the answers word by word like writing a composition, correct the mistakes, then read them out loud before answering questions. Of course, the standard pronunciation and intonation can also add points to the oral test. Candidates can also record their oral expressions, and then compare them with the standard American accent, and correct them from the aspects of linking, vowel pronunciation and pause.

3. The difficulty of getting a high score in TOEFL lies in understanding and recording the listening content, and repeating it in your own words, which is what we often say. You can exercise your listening, copying and memorizing skills first. Then practice expressing the recorded information naturally in spoken language. If you practice each question several times according to this method, you will certainly improve your listening and speaking ability. Pay attention to daily life, campus life scenes and academic scenes when practicing at ordinary times. Candidates can directly summarize and retell the manuscripts in the oral topic on the basis of the existing TOEFL oral teaching materials.

In short, getting high marks in TOEFL speaking is not as simple as many candidates think, so you should practice more at ordinary times. There are still many candidates who practice very well at ordinary times, but they will not be able to do it in the exam.
