从考官点评角度看托福综合口语评分标准和常见问题
托福综合口语考官点评分析
下面是ETS考官对某考生口语第四题的点评,以此为例:
考官点评原文
“The speaker is fairly fluent and easy to comprehend. However, there is some hesitancy or choppiness, which ems to occur as she arches for ideas and do not becau of linguistic breakdown. In this respon, the speaker has more difficulty using effective pau structure. She has a tendency to complete one thought and immediately begin the next, wit
hout pausing in between. At times she then stops and restarts the next idea, giving a somewhat rambling quality to the respon. Minor but systematic grammatical errors occur but do not interfere with overall comprehensibility. The speaker states the woman’s problem clearly and with ea. Despite minor grammatical errors, she supports her opinion with fairly sophisticated reason.”
考官评分点分析
这段点评对广阔考生极具参考价值,它告知了我们如何在自己发音及语言组织力量还有欠缺的状况下照旧取得高分。这是对一篇high level的回答做出的点评。我们从评论中不难看出,考官对于这段口语还是心存不满的,但是最终还是给了一个较高的分数。
不足之处:我们通过对于不足之处的分析能够更清楚地了解ETS考官面对一道口语回答时会重点关注那些方面。
1. 流利程度。流利与否是第一项评分点。流利不仅仅是指我们的在回答过程中是不是消失了长时间的break或者是无话可说,同时也要求考生不要始终不停地重复同一个词(这是一个特别常见的现象)甚至是重复刚才说的短语、句子。
2. 规律性。与写作一样,口语的回答也需要条理清楚,并且在说的时候要通过一些关联词将你听到的内容进行整理复述,使得听这段口语的人能够很简单就明白了你讲的是什么,这样就想他传达了一个剧烈的信号:我听懂了。在上面这段文字中,ETS的考官向我们推举了一个方法“pau structure”,即在回答完一个内容的时候做一个小小的停顿,告知听者,下一个内容/观点要开头了。这样就可以弥补回答中规律词的发音不准或者是误用、漏用带来的失分。
优势之处:尽管这段回答中存在上述诸多的错误和不足,但是仅仅一下一点就足以力挽狂澜,让我们追回失分。
精确性:综合口语考察的一个重点就是考试是不是能够精确、完整地复述出conversation或lecture中的内容。这就是中国考生在综合口语中最大的失分缘由。通过对点评的解读,不难发觉,我们需要做的就是“state … clearly and with ea”。只要做到了这点,把题目要求你复述的内同清楚并以一种简洁的方式说出来了,那么尽管你的回答中存在一些小小的语法错误(despite minor grammatical errors…),也不会影响取得高分。
