口语如何克服自己的表达方式过于简单、单调的问题

随着2016年秋季入学的申请开发,很多学生也都进入到了托福最后冲刺的阶段。但是,明明自己很努力了,可是分数就是上不去,特别是口语和写作。看着不理想的分数只能干着急。其实,着急的何止是这些备战托福的孩子,还有那些在国内奋战中考和高考的娃娃们。

其实,口语组句单调、口语分数不高的一个主要原因就是表达方式过于简单、单调,缺乏变化,如喜欢就是like, 表达原因就是because, 说好处就是good for health, 描述地方就是beautiful。当然不是说这些词不能用,但若是从头到尾都使用这些词或短语,给考官的印象就是你的语言功底太过普通。而且经常听这几个单词反反复复实在无聊。
