托福备考经验：你值得拥有的提高口语窍门

屈联西

     托福(微博)口语究竟怎么准备，其实不管什么样的方法，最终都是自己的输出能力在不断提高。所以现有输入才能有更高质量的输出。今天这篇文章给大家几个练习方法，帮助大家提高口语。
　　随时随地练习口语
　　Practice wherever you can and whenever you can. Any practice is good, whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.
　　表达清晰为主，句型多样为辅
　　It’s important to build your confidence. If possible, use simple English sentence structure that you know is correct, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.
　　大胆运用所掌握的词汇，不要过分拘泥于语法
　　Try to experiment with the English you know. Use words and phrases you know in new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback.
　　透过身体语言理解对方意思并作出回应
　　Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way.
　　避免直译
　　Try not to translate from or into your own language. This takes too much time and will make you more hesitant.
　　遇到不知该如何表达的时候，用一些常用词表示自己正在思考
　
　　If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the time, and say things that "fill" the conversation. This is better than being completely silent. Try using um or er, if you forget the word.
　　语速不要过快
　　Don’t speak too fast. It’s important to use a natural rhythm when speaking English. But if you speak too fast, it will be difficult for people to understand you.
　　说话时尽量放松，让发音流利顺畅
　　Try to relax when you speak. When you speak English at a normal speed, you will discover that most of the pronunciation skills, such as linking between words, will happen automatically.
　　后记
　　Don’t be shy to speak! The more you practise, the more confident you’ll become.
