很多中國學(xué)生都會覺得托福的聽力很難,原因可能有很多:
不習(xí)慣美式發(fā)音,平時少聽native speakers講話,少聽錄音帶,詞匯量和知識面跟不上,口語不好等原因。
口語不好也會影響聽力?! 當(dāng)然會!托福的聽力很大一部分是對話,都是一些日常用語,如果口語不好當(dāng)然聽不懂。 所以,托福聽力材料也是最好的口語學(xué)習(xí)材料。要想提高聽力,光死聽死沒有用的,還要注意分析聽力原文。學(xué)習(xí)口語表達方法,多閱讀,多方面結(jié)合才能有正在的提高。"瀟瀟語言實驗室"現(xiàn)推出"托??谡Z聽力篇",希望對大家有點幫助。每集都是根據(jù)歷屆的托福真題編寫。有編號的句子都是托福聽力原文,一些補充例句也是托福原文。
每集的句子摘自同一套托福聽力題。
學(xué)習(xí)英語靠得是平時得認真積累,別放棄呀!----瀟瀟
1. I picked up the receiver, dropped the coins in the slot, and dialed the number I wanted. 這個句子是關(guān)于打投幣公共電話的。
Slot -縫隙。這里是指投幣口。 Receiver就是電話的聽筒。
2. Virginia's going to take all her required courses this year.
Required courses -必修課 required 是require的過去分詞。在這里作為形容詞來用,意思是"被要求的",也就是學(xué)校要求學(xué)生必修的課。
選修課是elective.
e.g. I have 9 required courses and 3 electives this semester.
我這個學(xué)期有9門必修課,3門選修課。
I hope I can take a few electives next term.

另外一個托福原句:
The bookstore is out of lined notebook paper.
Lined 是指紙張有線條的。
類似的結(jié)構(gòu)run out of something.
I just ran out of supplies.(托福原句)
舉一反三:We are running out of money/water/time. 我們的錢/水/時間就快用完了。
