刚接触托福考试的同学如何提高托福成绩?
NO.1“词汇量要足够”
如果没有8000以上的词汇量，托福休想考到100分。缺乏词汇量有三大危害：第一，阅读考试中的词汇题会大量丢分。
第二，听力无法有效记笔记，不但影响听力成绩，还会影响综合写作和综合口语的发挥。
第三，同义词贫乏，在写作和口语中不停重复同一个单词，降低了成绩。这些问题在高中生中更加普遍，因为高中生自学能力和自控能力相对薄弱。
NO.2“语法一定要好”
过去我们总提“哑巴英语”，不断抨击传统的“语法”教学。现在，年青一代走向了另一个极端——“半文盲”英语——听说不成问题，阅读还勉强，写作语法不好。
主要体现在两个方面：阅读中，一句话中所有单词都认识，还是看不懂这句话是什么意思;写作中，背了很多高级词汇，就是写不到文章中去。
因为单词像“面粉”，而语法就是“水”，揉在一起才是一个扯不断的“面团”。
NO.3“听力贵在精听”
听力练习的重要性体现在托福四个单项考试的三项中：听力单项、综合口语和综合写作，可谓“得听力者得天下”。
而听力绝不是一朝一夕能够提高的，因为听力的精髓在于“精听”而非“泛听”。失败的听力练习是整天戴着耳机，走到哪听到哪，结果一点长进都没有。
也有些自恃听力不错的同学，可能有过出国的经历，或者平时经常和外教交流，不把记笔记放在眼里，结果听的内容记不下来。
习语英语行文中只是起一个画龙点睛的作用，而不应大篇幅地使用。如果用的过多也会引起读者或考官的反感。
而且习语的使用难度比较高，很容易使用错误，成为扣分的依据。因此，我们在应用英语习语时，不但要把习语用好，而且要用巧。

托福写作语料库积累：读书的好处
托福写作语料库积累:读书的好处
1、Enhanced Smarts 变聪明
Wow, this may be the most obvious statement of the post, right? Well, it turns out that reading helps in almost every area of smarts. Those that read have higher GPA’s, higher intelligence, and general knowledge than those that don’t. In Anne E. Cunningham’s paper What Reading Does for the Mind (pdf version), she found that reading, in general, makes you smarter, and it keeps you sharp as you age.
No matter what you’re wanting to do or become, you can’t do it without more knowledge. Reading is an excellent way to get where you’re wanting to go.
2、Reading reduces stress 减少压力
When I’m reading a book, my mind shifts gears. Where I might have a had a stressful day, a book can easily distract me. Fiction is fantastic for this.Reading an awesome fiction book is perfect right before bed time. Though sometimes it’s hard to put the book down if it’s really good. Still, you’ll be relaxed .
3、Greater tranquility 多一点宁静
Reading can soothe like no other. Given that I’m a pretty high-energy person, reading forces me to sit and be still. This daily act of making myself be quiet and still has been nothing short of miraculous for my anxiety and my “fidgety factor”.
4、Improved analytical thinking 增强思辨的能力
That’s right, ladies and germs. Cunningham’s studies have found thatanalytical thinking is boosted by reading. Readers improve their general knowledge, and more importantly are able to spot patterns quicker. If you can spot patterns quicker, your analytical skills receive a boost.
5、Increased vocabulary 增加词汇
It’s no secret that reading increases your vocabulary and improves your spelling, but did you know that reading increases your vocabulary more than talking or direct teaching? Reading forces us to look at words that we might not have seen or heard recently at the pub. In fact, language in children’s books are likely to be more sophisticated than your average conversation.
Increased vocabulary is especially crucial for bloggers or writers. All successful writers will tell you that in order to write well, you need to read. Every day. You’ll be surprised at the words you start incorporating into your writing.
A beefier vocabulary isn’t just for writers though. Knowing what other people are saying and using the perfect words to convey your feelings is a critical part of being a better human. Better listeners are more successful in life.
6、Improved memory 提高记忆力
I have an awful memory. Just ask my fiancee. I usually can’t remember what I’ve eaten for breakfast, let alone things like names and addresss. Yet I’ve been finding that I can remember stuff much easier when I’ve been reading consistently. Do I have any scientific data to match this up? Not really. But I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet that reading has somehow given me memory mojo.
7、Improved writing skills 提高写作技能
This isn’t much of a stretch, considering that reading improves vocabulary and critical thinking. I feel like a better writer, as I’m constantly surrounding myself with works from people who are better than me. That’s why English classes in High School make you read “the classics”. That’s why art students learn to copy masterpieces, so they know what creating something incredible should feel like.
8、Helps prioritize goals 更好的权衡目标
Many times we’re certain we know what we “really want” in life. Yet I’ve found that activities like reading show me things I didn’t know about myself. My mind will drift to things that I’d really like to do, and it isn’t long that these little lapses in reading start to cycle. The same sort of goals keep popping into my head, allowing me to see what I really want to do.
For example, I’ve been playing music on a consistent basis, but I’ve always wanted to produce and distribute my own music. As I’ve been reading, I’ve found that song ideas and other general thoughts on music keep popping into my head. It’s my times reading that have really pushed me into giving music a serious go.
When you remove yourself from your work environment, you’ll start to see things that you might really want to do, that you’re not doing yet.Reading gives you a chance for your to wander.
