想必大家都知道,从2019年8月开始,托福考试进行了一场重大的改革,除了托福写作之外,其余三项都出现了题目减少的情况,阅读从原来的每篇文章13-14个题减少到10个题,听力减少了一篇讲座题目,而口语从原来的6个题目(两个独立题+四个综合题)减少到4个题目(一个独立题+三个综合题)
那么现在就让我们来具体看看,口语改革后,具体的评分规则和标准吧!
口语改革后,评分的等级从原先的4个档位:good、fair、limited、weak,变成了5个档位:
Advanced(25-30)
High-intermediate(20-24)
Low-intermediate(16-19)
Basic(10-15)
Below-basic(0-9)
但评分标准和要求并没有发生太大的变化,最核心的,还是对于语言能力的要求,包括:
1 清晰的发音
2 正确的语调
3 好的流畅度
4 简单准确的语法用词
5 完整的信息表达和准确度
只要方法正确,加上勤奋练习,口语还是可以得到高分的!
改革后独立写作题目删减了task1,剩下的task2 题目题型有什么变化呢?
我们来看几道考试改革后的独立题的真题:

通过分析改革后的独立写作题目,可以发现,独立题的题干基本变长,加长了审题的时间。并且,话题设置更加深刻,包括关于历史建筑的保护、城市建设等题目。
那么针对改革后的独立题,应该如何准备呢?
考生还是应该重点练习历年真题(2016-2019年独立题真题),通过大量刷题和积累丰富的语料,提高自己的语言表达能力。
