2、的。美国人在时间的描述上先把最重要的东西说出来,然后再说陪衬的东西。只有发生悲剧性的事件,美国人才在前面加上铺垫。托福口语美国人思维交流方式:界定东西在新托福口语中,如何用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。美国人和美国人交谈80%是想告诉对方这个事物是什么。我们的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深,但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。中国人常说Where is the book (这本书在哪儿)?很少有人说What is a book (书是什么)?而美国的小学生就开始问:what is thebook?这种Where is the book 只是思维的描述阶段。但是我们想连大学生也很难回答What is a
3、 book?因为中国传统英语教学模式没有教会学生表达思想的技巧。托福口语美国人思维交流方式:猜测能力托福口语练习要有猜测能力。为什么美国人和美国人、中国人和中国人之间交流很少产生歧义?就是因为他我们之间能“猜测”。我们的教学不提倡“猜测”。但我们觉得猜测对学好美国口语很重要。在交流中,有一个词你没有听懂,你不可能马上去,这时候就需要猜测来架起一座桥梁来弥补这个缺口,否则交流就会中断。托福口语机经预测task1:1.
