前言
準備時長: 2個月 (2020/08/31 ~ 2020/10/30)
一戰: 96 (R: 28 L:21 S:21 W:26) 2020/09/26 Hwa-Kang Xing-Ye Foundation (STN15148A)
二戰: 100 (R: 29 L:26 S:23 W:22) 2020/10/31 Merica Group (STN11432B)
個人認為 Merica Group 這個考場,真的很不錯,人跟人之間會有東西隔開,而且他好像有付費800還多少錢可以讓你模擬真實考托福的情況,就在同一個考場
至於華岡興業,真的很擠,而且超容易被旁邊的人干擾 (個人意見XD)
教材:
- 托福考滿分
- 個人與他人資源(https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NEgdTHFhozyH0Yp_Lkkq6UqTKQ7bevcf?usp=sharing)
- youtube口說頻道(Teacher Jun, linguamarina)
- 英文podcast
- 托福的app
基本上我是做了一個EXCEL,記錄我自己每天的進度https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rdhYeG3Q1GOAcucSuIyqfrliz4Jw2suR/view?usp=sharing,裡面包含練習成績跟每日計畫。
我自己是 3篇閱讀、5篇聽力 為每日基礎 有額外的時間會多練口說、寫作 (詳細直接看上述連結就可以了)。接下來就直接說說每一個的準備方式以及考試心得。以下分成 閱讀、聽力、口說、寫作 (真實考試的順序一樣)
閱讀
如果是考過GRE才來看考TOEFL的,閱讀基本上應該不會有大問題。不太需要再花時間背單字,只要好好熟悉題型跟了解各個領域的單字就可以了,還有多練習題目,而且TOEFL閱讀題目順序跟文章是一樣的,照著文章順序考真的佛心。
一篇總共10題,第9題通常是塞句子進原本文章,第10題是選整篇文章的summary。我看一些文章有各種結論題的方法,反正我是用刪去法去做,我覺得很有用。
練習的部分我自己是只用TOEFL考滿分練習而已,學著自己控制一下考試時間。每次練習完都會檢討自己錯的題目,重新看一遍文章,確認了解整個文章意思
閱讀 — 考試方法:
3篇總共54分鐘 (遇到加試有4篇72分鐘),一篇給自己18分鐘寫,在白紙上寫好54 36 18 這三個數字,盡量不要超時。最好可以平常練習的時候,每做5題看一下自己花了多少時間。
然後我是先讀題,在看文章,但我是只要開始看文章,會看完完整一段!!,不是看某一段找到答案就停下來。
聽力
我一開始一直以為我聽力還可以,但寫起來發現我很常忽略掉小細節,到最後二戰也只考到了26,真的QQ。時間掌控很重要,因為實際考試是5篇整體一起算時間,所以如果你有一篇花特別多時間,會壓縮妳寫其他題的時間。
練習的教材一樣使用考滿分,我覺得主要是做筆記的能力。應該可以分成兩種方法,都有人用
- 可能什麼都記,手速要很快
- 抓重點記
我自己是全部都記,但真的各有優缺,只能你自己練習的時候看自己習慣哪一種。但網路上幾乎都會說抓重點記。
真實考試時,如果你閱讀寫太久,看那些instructions太久的話,你聽力到一半可能別人會直接開始口說,或是起來走動 (因為聽力加試的話會考更久)。真的超….,我第一次就是這樣被干擾到不行,根本就沒辦法專心聽。
最好是不要看太久instruction,在家練習就先看過了,真的沒看不會怎樣。
<口說>
教材就是看 黃金口語80題、考滿分跟youtube的一些教學網站。TOEFL口說一定要背模板,因為這個口說考試很吃架構,這樣也可以省很多時間。底下是我花頗多時間整理出來的,從影片、別人的文章、自己歸納,應該算是很精華了
口說總共4題,以下提供模板,記得在考試休息完拿到新的紙就可以先寫了(確保是新的紙,舊的會被收走,提早寫也沒用)
TASK 1 (生活題) 15秒準備/講45秒
個人是在紙上畫下以下圖案,但這題時間真的少,所以儘可能先想論點為主。
▍模板1 (題型適用:2選1):
If I really had to make a choice between <A> and <B>, I would honestly prefer the former/latter.
To begin with, the first thing that came to my mind as I read this question is that (1–1), this is mainly due to the fact that (1–2). In addition to this, (2–1)_, since _(2–2).
As a result, I would prefer to ________.
所以(1–1) 可以講成 blablabla is benificial, this is mainly due to the fact that _____
(2–1) 可以講成 blablabla is detrimental, since ________
▍模板2 (題型適用:Agree disagree):

To begin with, …… . On top of that, _____.
That’s why I think so.
TASK 2 校園兩人說話題 30秒準備/講1分鐘
個人是在紙上畫下以下圖案,1/6 這兩個是文章一出現就直接找,不用整個看懂。2~5是邊聽邊寫上去

According to the announcement, the university is planning to (1).
(However, the (M/W) is (not looking forward/looking forward) to this. / And the (M/W) is looking forward to this)
First of all, the (M/W) mentioned that (2). In addition to this ______(3)______.
On top of that, the (M/W) also said that (4)_. In other words, ______(5)______.

the (M/W) (opposes/supports) the university’s plan for these 2 reasons.
TASK 3 Lecture題 30秒準備/講60秒
這題通常是講一個概念,文章標題會給一個專有名字,然後去解釋這個名詞是什麼意思個人是在紙上畫下以下圖案
▍模板1 (題型適用:全)
The article is about (1)寫文章title which the passage defines as ______(2)______.
The professor provides (an example/two examples) to illustrate this.
To begin with, …… (靠自己講完全部故事)(範例1/範例2)
(And that’s how the professor illustrates (1) 文章title. /
To sum up, this was a perfect example of (1) 文章title, given by the professor and the lecture.)
結尾兩種選一個,看時間還剩多少
TASK 4 教授講話題 30秒準備/講60秒
這題通常就是教授會講一個新知識,然後給兩個例子去解釋,個人是在紙上畫下以下圖案
The professor gave a lecture about HOW+ (1).
To begin with, ___(2–1)___. for example, (2–2).
Furthermore, (3–1). for instance, ___(3–2)___.
To sum up, this was HOW+(1), given by the professor in the lecture.
(1)通常要到在準備時間,那邊的題目就會寫出來,可以照抄類似的。
寫作
分兩種 Argument跟Issue,以下直接提供模板
▍Argument

▍Issue
我都習慣寫五段: 開頭, 正, 正, 限縮, 結論
限縮就是講別人論點的好,但是他們怎樣怎樣差,所以blablabla,我的論點可以解決的這個問題。
Is it true that 題目? When it comes to these questions, the answers differ from individual to individual. For me, my personal experience and real-life observations have led me to conclude that __________.
