上个月二战托福，113=28+29+27+29。

　　LZ六级裸考590，也没有出国交流经验，不是什么大牛。最近忙完了，有空跟大家聊聊天，分享个资料什么的。

　　首先听力最重要了。因为一战时候，听力吃了很大的亏，相信很多考友也遇到过类似的问题，不记笔记吧容易走神，记了吧又影响了听。。。总之很纠结。。在此还是要说，听力还是脑记为主，笔记为辅。即使做笔记，也要记录，比如：

　　(1) lecturer开始分点说明啦，分类、说明原因等等;

　　(2) lecturer开始讲故事举例子啦

　　(3) lecturer 开始和学生互动了，学生问什么，老师怎么答

　　(4) lecturer 或者 dialogue 中学生及老师的态度，说话的潜台词，语气等等。可以在笔记上作个符号表示，画个笑脸啊神马的

　　(5) 如果能听出结构的话，要注意每段的首句话。

　　尤其是开头和结尾。开头会对考察主题的题目有帮助，结尾会对作者的话外之音或者是结论有帮助。比如，对于科学探究类，作者往往会结尾说，这个结论还未知，有待进一步研究。或者是科学家们认为这有很大的前景。不注意的话，就漏听了。

　　听力要多多练习，练熟了耳朵，甚至要在疲劳的情况下听进去，不走神。下面会提到相关资料。

　　除了听力占主导，托福可谓是阅读、口语、作文各分天下。LZ觉得平衡是王道，每天每项都训练一点，不落下，培养感觉，长久以来自然会有回报。(这个平均得…从分数构成上也能看出来吧= =)

　　接下来说说常用的资料：

　　阅读：TPO为主，没用更多资料了。LZ私以为托福的阅读跟四六级还是比较相似的，考察内容主题偏多，不会有太多infer题，对于逻辑的考察也没有GMAT那么严苛。最重要的是!托福的文章读起来都很顺，写的都很美很流畅，有木有!!LZ每次看到优美的结构读的就刷刷地快，心情就蹭蹭上去了。(在这里要吐槽一下GMAT的阅读文)

　　听力：吃过亏的听力啊，自然用过很多资料。按重要性排序!

　　首推TPO，和真题很接近，语音语速乃至停顿都很像的。然后，上面说了，要在疲劳情况下听进去，进行疲劳练习，这里推荐巴朗，巴朗听力文本的难度要略高，但是题目并不难，问的很直接，听一遍巴朗下来，警觉度会很高，就是不容易走神了，多余的笔记也可以扔掉了，或者说记录的时候知道取舍，一些年代啊、人名啊，托福不怎么考的(虽然四六级很偏爱)，但是因果逻辑，转折递进关系，要在脑子里理顺了，必要的时候要记下来画个箭头示意。

　　此外，还有些零碎的资料，没有题目，只是练耳朵的：

　　“60Seconds Science”很快很疯狂，每天听2-3段，有条件可以听写试试。对于了解科学话题、熟悉掌握科技文词汇，以及听力时快速进入主题的能力有很大提高。

　　老托材料老托PBT，老托CBT，音质上和前面的不能相比，但是因为按照话题情景分类，如果有弱项的，不妨单个挑出来训练，会有所帮助。

　　蓝色DELTA真心觉得..似乎…还好没有以上材料帮助那么大，如果你其他都听完一遍了，那么试着听听吧。

　　这些听力方法和技巧不仅是听力，还有在口语和综合作文上也能用上，大家应该都知道了吧。。

　　口语：没别的好方法欧!就是——练习+录音+回放+再录音(很无聊对不对)

　　记得一战的时候还去土豆网上把一个矫正发音的视频翻出来了，不过那都是浮云啦。

　　很多时候自己说着觉得挺好，但是一旦录下来放给自己听，就知道哪里停顿结巴了，哪里发音别扭了。总之就会像要求听力的原文一样来要求自己口语了。所以录音+再放的过程是极其极其重要滴!!觉得之前不完美就再说一遍，但是——都要计时，就按照TPO的计时器走。久而久之，你会发现，不用看着跳着的秒数，到底还有多久结束了，自己已经能够掌握时间，基本上觉得内容说完，时间正好到了，要达到这种境界!!

　　还有一点，是不要胆怯。特别是考试的时候，可能别人还在做听力，或者是别人都开始写作文了(后一种情况LZ就遇到了)，全场只有LZ一个人在说口语有木有啊!!但是不慌，就像一个人在家说给自己听一样，不要想着别人听到会怎样。声音不要太小太弱，不要太急太尖，要有自信要沉着!就是自然而然娓娓道来的那种感觉!!

　　资料除了上面说的TPO之外，还有：口语真经1,2,3。新托福白金口语(3.0版)

　　以上特别针对口语的3-6题，练久了会发现你已经有自己的开头、结尾和衔接语了，而且很顺畅，知道什么时候展开，什么时候收尾等等，不会慌慌张张，说得忽快忽慢，更不会停顿有空白。至于口语1,2题，一战时是good，二战的时候反而都是fair，感觉是吃了巧克力黏住了舌头(哈哈)，就不说经验恩啦。

　　不得不说，口语上花的时间会很多，但是未必能很快见效(起码不如听力立马见效)。但是有志考110+的童鞋，觉得自己口语功底还行的童鞋，或者想挑战人生的童鞋，可以尝试。特别是想考110+的童鞋们，如果口语23,24分，那么其他得该有多优秀啊，这样在其他项目臻至完美的过程上也是要花很多时间的。那么，不妨挑战下口语咯。

　　作文：LZ作文一向很烂，自从上了大学以后，久久不练，四级六级作文都拖了后腿。后来逛论坛，多看看文好了很多。看文和写文是要平衡进行的，很多童鞋练笔很多，但是分数还是上不去，为什么?因为看得太少啦!看的文章不够有深度不够充实!要一边看文一边学以致用啊，牛要吃草才能产奶么!

　　首先推荐一个国外论坛

　　http://www.english-test.net/forum/forum16.html

　　一些外国人发的帖子写的作文，后面会有coach打分并进行修改。套路没那么多，内容比较平实生活化，语言相对地道。看久了就觉得白人写文章还真是短小精悍(同是拉丁语系么- -)，印度人文章逻辑严密文章很长，总之是有很多不同风格，有趣很多。Coach的修改和评语也很重要，读一读能从阅卷者的角度思考很多。不必每篇都看，LZ觉得，可以挑一个题目，自己写一遍，然后论坛上搜索同名文章，挑个分数高的，看看比较下自己和别人的不同，适当学习下。

　　以前也背了很多分类的材料，用做例子。不过后来发现，考场上未必能想到，并且有时考官偏爱生活化的例子。每一段说理的时候，可以举一些身边的事情，但和主题要贴切，语言要流畅。(PS: LZ写作文不喜欢模版，因为套着模版写得慢，而且写着都不知道说什么了)后面附件里有楼长的2篇独立作文练笔。

　　具体而言，综合作文还是拿TPO练练手，写完了和答案比对下，重要的是要点有无遗漏差错，原因是否明确，逻辑是否严密准确(综合作文对语言要求不高，精悍切中要点即可)。独立作文的话，可以挑几个话题尝试，词汇上要适当背一背同义词，别老拿着四级的词汇用在托福上，当然也要贴切!逻辑上要清晰，一般作文主体部分分三段，每段要说理，说理后要举例。句子之间衔接转折要通顺，这个需要经常练习。句式上能出新最好了，弄弄倒装疑问排比的，但是不要因为想出新而出错啊!还有就是长短句要夹杂着写，有节奏感，记得曾经下过一个叫做stylewriter的免费软件，能够打打分什么的，其中打分的一个很重要依据就是句子长短分布是否合理。

　　嘿嘿，啰嗦了这么多!!楼主的学习方法是不是很非主流呢!各位看官可以根据自身情况来，享受一下托福，沉浸在优美的语言中也不错啊~@@!阅读和作文，听力和口语都是互通的，准备到后来会越来越真切感受到!

　　上传附件里有两篇作文练笔

　　Do you agree with the following statement that patience is usually not a good strategy, we should take action now rather than later.

　　Many people regard patience as a true virtue and contend that waiting get us more prepared than immediate action, while others hold the opposite position because they think that waiting wastes precious time. As far as I am concerned, in most occasions, having patience is a good strategy to get more meditation and practice before the opportunity comes.

　　First and foremost, patience enables people to consider thoroughly. I live in a country where Confucian was highly praised, and Confucius argued that one needed deep and thorough consideration before action. In other words, while waiting, we are not wasting time but thinking out several plans in response to different stimuli. Taking myself as an example, I did research and went to the library for references when I was preparing for my graduation paper. It did occur sometimes that the material I went through did not appear on my paper finally because the point was not so related to my topic. However, the process of reading all these points actually helped me to extend my knowledge scope and form my own viewpoints, both of which contributed to the final paper. If I hadn’t read enough materials and written the paper in a hurry, I would have limited understanding on that piece of work.

　　Apart from thorough meditation, waiting for action provides us with time for practice. Practice makes perfect. Athletes need strenuous day-after-day drills to hone their skills and dancers need several rehearsals to ensure the performance. Such preparations are necessary for each one of us when confronting problems. Practice helps us to go beyond current level and be at ease and calm when the opportunity comes. Except for few talents who are able to be succeed at his or her first attempt, most people need to practice to get preparation both mentally and psychologically.

　　As I mentioned in my introduction that we should keep waiting until the right time in most cases, there are some cases that the immediate action values, especially when time is limited. For example, when facing casualty who are injured heavily in an accident, a surgeon has to conduct a surgery without hesitation. As every second counts in this case, the surgeon has to weigh between the time and the process of preparation. Nevertheless, in other cases where we know the event will happen, it’s better to keep waiting until enough thought and practice have finished.

　　To sum up, it’s pivotal to have patience before events, especially those expected, as we can have more meditation and training. On the other hand, when facing those emergent events, an abrupt wise choice is necessary.

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important problem in today’s world will be solved in our lifetime.

　　With the advent of the new technology, especially the Internet, our world had changed rapidly. Therefore, many people regarding transmission of information as the most important problem in today’s world contend that the most pivotal issue has been solved. However, I hold the viewpoint that the most important problems are irreversible environmental pollution, uneven allocated resources and human’s desire to determine their own destinies, all of which are far from being solved in our lifetime.

　　To begin with, polluted air and water are irreversible. As known to all, the rapid expansion of economics worldwide has brought about improved living standard, but on the other hand, it has occurred at the cost of damaging ecological environment. All of these damages can hardly be withdrawn. For example, a steel factory in my hometown is famous for its huge productivity during development period and alleviates the social problem by employing large number of workers. Nevertheless, current market has saturated and it is time for us citizens to sense the bloody heavily pollution within our city. Although municipal authorities have been striving to restrain and mitigate the pollution already made, they can barely eradicate it quickly. None of the current technology can be utilized to reverse the process and perhaps scientists will find an approach after one hundred years.

　　Moreover, uneven allocation of resources has contributed to a serious disparity between the poor and the rich. Among any country, I can see poor workers who need social security to avoid starvation and affluent people who are insatiable about wealth. The same pattern applies among countries. As many countries lack water, land or oil, they are eager to fight, leading to many conflicts and frictions. The Gulf War is perhaps the best illustration for the case. Moreover, when busy with war, a country can no longer develop its economy and its citizens will suffer, which give rise to another excuse to fight for resources. Such vicious circle can hardly be eliminated as long as the disparity of resources exists and that situation cannot end in a hundred years, either.

　　Finally, people nowadays are exhibiting stronger determination to control their fates. People begin to show respect for different sexual orientations. Previously, gays and lesbians are called freaks in my country and euthanasia is far from being considered. Nowadays, however, people are showing a desire to handle their own marriage and life-death decisions. Moreover, legislation authorities in many other countries are planning to legalize these behaviors by formulating laws. I reckon these changes are hard to be made completely within a hundred years.

　　To sum up, because of these reasons above, the most important issue affecting society today cannot be solved during my lifetime.
