Task3拉开了托福综合口语考试的序幕，从这一道题目开始，托福口语考察的就不仅仅之局限在学生说的能力，而是考察学生的综合水平。前一篇文章中已经介绍过了校园类的场景词汇，那么我们应该怎样解决这类问题呢?下面就跟着前程百利小编一起来看看这则托福口语备考技巧吧!
在托福口语考试的45秒内，首先要求学生阅读一篇文章，但是由于时间有限，绝对不是精读课文，考生在读课文的过程中需要注意这篇文章的主题，以及支持这个主题的两点理由;而听力中需要学生卓中国听态度强烈的一方的态度是支持还是反对这件事，以及支持或者反对的理由。下面就跟着小编一起来看看这篇文章是不是应用的这则托福口语答题技巧呢?
Reading Part:
History Seminars Should Be Shorter
Currently, all of the seminar classes in the history department are three hours long.① I would like to propose that history seminars be shortened to two hours. ②I make this proposal for two reasons.(表明了学生的主张并暗示接下来会有两个理由来支撑学生的主张)③ First, most students just cannot concentrate for three hours straight. (理由1)I ，myself have taken these three-hour seminars and found them tiring and sometimes boring. ④Also, when a seminar lasts that long, people stop concentrating and stop learning, so the third hour of a three-hour seminar is a waste of every one's time. (理由2)Two-hour seminars would be much more efficient.
Listening Part:
Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
(woman)⑤ I totally disagree with Tim’s proposal. (表明自己的观点)
(man) Why?
(woman)⑥ Well, look, Tim’s my friend but he’s not your typical student. He stays up late partying every night, week nights, too.
(man) If he parties every night no wonder he can’t pay attention.
(woman)⑦ Yes, and most students aren’t like that. They come to class prepared and rested and they can concentrate.
(man) So, you’re saying that problem is really Tim.
(woman) Yes. He was in one of my classes last year and whenever I looked at him he was actually sleeping.
(man) I guess if he was sleeping, he can’t really know what’s happening, what other people in class are doing. (理由1)
(woman) Right! And you want to know what does happen in that last hour of seminar? In a lot of seminars that I’ve been in, that’s when things get interesting.
(man) Really?
(woman) Yes,⑧ that’s usually when students get really involved in the discussion and start exchanging important ideas, (理由2)and if the History department actually did what Tim suggests, well if they did that, what would happen is you’d lose what might be the most worthwhile part of the seminar.
一.参考答案：
The author of the letter suggests that the history department to shorten the seminars from three hours long to two hours,(文章中①显示此观点) because it’s too long for students to concentrate(文章中 ③显示这个观点)and the last hour of class is a waste of time. (文章中④显示这个观点) In the conversation, the woman disagrees with the suggestion. (文章中⑤显示这个观点) First of all, she thinks that Tim can’t pay attention in class because he stays up late partying every night, not that the seminars are too long for students to stay focused. (文章中⑥⑦显示这个观点) Other students are doing fine. And the second reason is that the last hour of the class is the most interesting because students start to have discussions and exchange ideas. (文章中⑧显示这个观点) That’s when they really get involved and learn important things.
二. 重点句子解析：
1.①句是一个简单的句子，表明了这篇文章的题材是关于学生的建议的，也清晰了表明了学生的观点。需要提醒大家注意的是这种观点一般在文章的开头提出，需要大家在阅读文章的时候注意文章的开头
2.②表明学生将会从两个方面来论述自己的观点，在这里也提醒大家注意记下这两个观点。
3.③需要大家掌握的词汇是concentrate，first表明这个是理由一，在这里需要大家特别注意在阅读或者听力文章中的衔接词。在这里表明他认为时间太长，学生不能集中注意力。
4.④中由when引起一个时间状语从句。Also，作为连接词给出了我们第二个例子。
5.⑤totally表明了这位女士的观点是十分强烈的，这位女士的观点是需要我们着重注意的对象。
6.⑥和⑦对应了Tim的观点一，Tim不能集中注意力的原因是自己每天熬夜，但是大多同学并不像他一样。在这里需要提醒大家注意，阅读和听力文章往往是对应的，阅读文章中的观点往往也会成为听力文章中的人支持或者反对的原因。
7.⑧呼应他的第二个原因，学生们在最后玩的十分开心，并不像他想的那样。
