We would have some very mellow(醇香的), warming red wine in sparkling glasses twinkling in the candlelight, the hues(色调) and aroma(香味) filling our senses.

　　2014年托福口语之摆正心态：

　　无论你是在中国，还是在美国或英国，如果你有心理障碍，就会出现以下的现象：

　　1.没说话之前就在嘀咕，如果我说错了怎么办?

　　2.我是用什么时态呢?

　　3.我是说慢点呢，还是快点?

　　4.I THINK， I THINK……

　　5.深沉着……

　　6.抬头，眼睛向上翻着….. 寻找着……

　　一个从英联邦回来的高中生， 在那里读了2年的高中了，与他对话吓了一跳，紧跟着问了几遍，你真的是从国外回来的?? 没错，原因是同学多数是中国人，而且参加讨论的课程也少，不愿意与人交流，心理上就在抵抗，那么说托福口语就更加的困难， IDEA全无，给人一种一片茫然的感觉，总是觉得自己会紧张，说不出来。

　　对于这种状况，先消除的就是心理疾病，在交谈中不断地鼓励和激励，并用一些适合他的方式来练嘴， 你就会发现当心理障碍被屏蔽掉后，他说话的流利程度很快的上涨，几天的时间就已经表现出来自信和流畅。

　　总结的说，口语训练，不是只有在英语母语国家才能练出来，中国有大批的没有出国的中国人，口语也相当的好，只是方法问题.更何况现在的信息发达，听和说的机会都相当多.一直认为在托福考试中，口语和写作是最好拿分的。

　　2014年托福口语之消灭中式英语：

　　作为英语学习者，如果我们一味地以中国人的思维方式学习英语，那么我们的水平是很难提高的，下面就总结一下如何消灭中式英语的问题。

　　1. 我没有经验。

　　I have no experience.

　　应说：I don’t know much about that.

　　Note：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.

　　2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。

　　The price is very suitable for me.

　　应说：The price is right.

　　Note：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。

　　3. 你是做什么工作的呢?

　　What’s your job?

　　应说：：Are you working at the moment?

　　Note：what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，are you working at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书

　　4. 用英语怎么说?

　　How to say?

　　应说：How do you say this in English?

　　Note：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?

　　5. 明天我有事情要做。

　　I have something to do tomorrow?

　　应说：Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.

　　用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied up.还有其他的说法：I’m I can‘t make it at that time. I’d love to， but I can’t， I have to stay at home.

　　6. 我没有英文名...

　　2014年托福口语之从根本上纠正学英语的坏习惯：

　　作为英语学习者，如果我们一味地以中国人的思维方式学习英语，那么我们的水平是很难提高的，下面就总结一下如何走出英语误区的问题。

　　第一，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what is a book 。我们中国人从小学到大学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?很少有人说What is a book?而美国的小学生就开始问：What is the book?这种Where is the book?只是描述阶段，连哑巴也能做到。但是我想连大学生也很难回答What is a 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。

　　第二，如果已经学会界定，但理解还有偏差，那就要训练how to explain things in different ways。

　　一种表达方式对方不懂，美国人会寻找另一种表达方式最终让对方明白。因为事物就一个，但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。比如水，世界上就这一个事物，但却有多种符号来表达它。如果一个人懂8种语言，那他在世界上被别人理解的机会就会大得多。用汉语说"水"别人不懂，用德语说别人也不懂，但用英语说 water，别人可能就懂了。

　　这就要多做替换练习。传统的教学方法也做??的替换，而不是思维层面的替换。比如，I love you,按中国的替换方法就把you换成her,my mother,them等，这种替换和小学生练描红没有什么区别。这种替换没有对智力构成挑战，没有启动思维。换到最后也不知道到底在love 谁，现实生活中也不能这么随便love(笑声)。这种替换句子的基本结构没变，我听不懂I love you,肯定也听不懂I love her。如果替换为I want to kiss you.I want to hug you.I've a crush on you.I will show my heart to you等，或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》，告诉对方that is love，这样一来对方可能就明白了。这才叫真正的替换。

　　也就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思，或者对方听不清楚，举一个简单易懂的例子来表达，直到对方明白。

　　对，比如爱因斯坦讲相对论，他用科学术语讲，除了科学家之外是没人听得懂的，所以爱因斯坦就用一个通俗的例子把相对论讲了出来。他说，什么叫相对论呢?两个lovers在一起，一小时相当于一分钟，而两个仇人呆在一起，一分钟相当于一小时，就这是相对论。他这样一讲，我想没有人不会明白相对论的。

　　第三，我们必须学会美国人怎样描述东西。

　　从描述上来讲，由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。但美国人对空间的描述总是由我及外，由里及表。而中国人正好相反。美国人说"我向雪山走去"，中国人就会说"我从雪山走来"。时间上来说，中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。

　　我们描述一个东西突然停住时，住往最后说的那个地方是最重要的。我们听评...
