TOEFL 口语模板是一个现成的回答结构。你听到面试问题,找出它的类型,然后按照对应的模板一步一步回答。本页给出我们的老师为 Speaking Interview(口语面试)教授的七个 TOEFL 口语模板。每个模板都有一段附音频的示范回答。你还会学到让你不停顿地说下去的“过渡语”,以及一段 45 秒回答的时间安排。
这些模板用于 Speaking Interview,也就是 TOEFL Speaking 考试的第 8 到 11 题。第 1 到 7 题是 Listen and Repeat(听后复述),这一部分没有模板。你只需要复述听到的句子,所以不需要提前计划。想练习 Listen and Repeat,请看我们的 TOEFL 口语练习指南。
TOEFL 口语模板的用法是这样的。先找出问题的类型。然后按照这个类型的结构,一步一步回答。你只有 45 秒,而且没有准备时间,所以模板会告诉你下一句该说什么。每一步说一到两句话。结尾总结可有可无。
每个面试问题都属于七种类型中的一种。面试官会围绕一个日常话题问四个问题。第 1 题通常问你的经历或背景。第 2 题问你的习惯、感受或偏好。第 3 题问你的观点。第 4 题问你对一个更大的问题、一种变化或一条建议的看法。听到问题时,先问自己:这个问题要我做什么?然后开始用对应的模板。

模板为什么有用。我们的 AI 为 16,358 个 Speaking Interview 回答打了分。其中 68% 的回答,Support and Development(论证与展开)是得分最低的一项。学员给出了答案,却没有补充理由和例子。下面每个模板都有理由这一步和例子这一步,所以你不会漏掉它们。长度也很重要。得分为 2.5 分(满分 5 分)的回答大约有 63 个词。得分为 4 分的回答大约有 83 个词。一段完整的 45 秒回答大约需要 80 个词,而模板给你足够的步骤来说到这个长度。

例题
Thank you for speaking with me today. I’d like to ask you about how people spend their free time. Some people prefer activities that keep them physically active, while others enjoy quieter activities that help them relax. People may choose differently depending on their personality, schedule, or interests. Do you prefer active hobbies or relaxing hobbies, and why?
示范回答
Well, I prefer active hobbies because they give me more energy. What I mean by that is, after sitting at a desk all day, I feel better when I move. For example, I often go for a walk or ride my bike in the evening. More specifically, even thirty minutes of exercise helps me sleep better. Another reason is that active hobbies give me a break from screens. In fact, I usually leave my phone at home when I cycle. So overall, I prefer active hobbies because they improve my mood and my health.

例题
Thank you for speaking with me today. I’m conducting a study about people’s educational experiences and views on learning. I’d like to ask you a few questions. First, could you tell me a bit about your most recent or current educational experience? Are you in school now, or have you completed any formal studies?
示范回答
Sure. I’m not in school now, but I completed university several years ago. More specifically, I studied biology, and most of my courses focused on scientific research and laboratory work. I spent a lot of time conducting experiments, analyzing data, and writing reports. For example, one part I really enjoyed was designing small research projects because they required careful planning and problem-solving. These days, I am no longer in formal education, but I still try to keep learning. Actually, I usually learn through online courses, articles, and practical experience related to my work.
当问题问到你经历过的事,比如一次旅行、一个活动或一段难忘的经历时,用这个模板。先说出这段经历。然后按顺序讲这个故事。最后说说它教会了你什么。

例题
Thank you for speaking with me today. This study looks at how travel can lead to cultural exchange and mutual understanding. I’d like to ask you a few questions about your experiences. First, have you ever traveled to a place where the culture was very different from your own? If so, what stood out to you the most during that visit?
示范回答
Yes, I have. A few years ago, I traveled to Japan, and the culture felt quite different from mine. I was in Tokyo with a friend on a short vacation. One thing that really stood out to me was how quiet public transportation was. For example, people spoke very softly on trains, and almost nobody made phone calls. As a result, I paid more attention to my own behavior. Looking back, the trip taught me that everyday habits can be very different from one culture to another.
当问题问到一段困难或有压力的经历以及你是怎么处理的时,用这个模板。描述当时的情况、遇到的问题和你做了什么。最后说说你得到的教训。

例题
Some people say that cultural misunderstandings can happen when traveling. Have you ever faced a situation where you felt out of place or misunderstood because of cultural differences? How did you respond, and what did you take away from the experience?
示范回答
Well, I remember one situation when I was traveling abroad and having dinner with a local family. The problem was that I started eating before everyone else because I did not realize people were expected to wait until the host began. When I noticed that, I stopped immediately and apologized. Fortunately, they were very understanding, and the situation quickly became less awkward. What I took away from that experience is that when I am in an unfamiliar culture, it is better to observe first rather than assume that my usual habits are appropriate.
当问题问你学到、发现、注意到或觉得意外的事时,用这个模板。先说出新的东西,再把它和你习惯的做法比较,最后说说它怎样改变了你。

例题
Fascinating. One of the powerful aspects of travel is learning how other people live, think, and celebrate. Can you share an example of something new you learned, whether it was a tradition, a value, or even a different way of doing everyday things?
示范回答
Well, one thing I learned was how important shared meals are in some cultures. For example, when I stayed with a family abroad, everyone ate dinner together and talked for a long time. This was quite different from my routine, because I often ate quickly when I was busy. At first, I thought the meals felt unusually long. But after a few days, I started to enjoy them. Since then, I have tried to slow down and spend more time talking with my family during meals.
当问题问到好处和坏处,或利与弊时,用这个模板。先说最大的优点。再说最大的缺点。如果还有时间,最后给出一个平衡的看法。

例题
More people now work from home than in the past. Some people believe this gives workers greater freedom and flexibility, while others think it can create problems such as isolation or difficulty separating work from personal life. What do you think are the main advantages and disadvantages of working from home?
示范回答
I’d say the main advantage of working from home is flexibility. People save commuting time and have more control over their day. For example, they can use that time to exercise or cook healthy meals. On the other hand, one major disadvantage is that it can feel isolating. What I mean by that is, people have fewer chances to talk with coworkers. As a result, some workers find it harder to stay motivated. So overall, working from home is convenient, but it works best with good routines and enough social contact.
当问题问某件事发生了什么变化,或两种情况有什么不同时,用这个模板。先说最大的不同。再说第二个不同。最后说说这些变化意味着什么。
结构
例题
How has technology changed the way students learn compared with the past?
示范回答
The biggest difference is that students today can find information much more easily. In the past, they depended on teachers, textbooks, and libraries, but now they can find explanations online. For example, a student who is stuck on a math problem can watch a video lesson. Another major difference is that learning is more flexible, because students can study at their own pace. As a result, they have more control over how and when they learn. Overall, technology has made education more accessible, although students still need help choosing reliable information.
过渡语是一个短语,在你想模板下一步要说什么时,让你继续说下去。需要停一下想想时就用一个。不要停下来,也不要说 um 或 uh。下面每个短语还会告诉听者接下来是哪一类句子,所以你的回答会更容易听懂。

用 TOEFL 口语模板练习时,先选一个面试问题。大声说出它的类型。然后计时 45 秒,用模板回答。把自己的回答录下来,听一遍,检查每一步是否都说到了。一次只练一个模板,直到这个结构变得自然。然后像真实面试那样把不同类型混在一起练。
