口语…… (Fair, Fair, Fair)，

结论，

1. 自我感觉好不等于结果好

2. 速度不是关键，说得清晰流畅才重要，估计我是说的太快加上有些"eh..eh..eh..."让判分的人不高兴的 -__-，唉

3. 估计还是声音小了，虽然我已经把麦克风拉近，比较大声的说了，麦克风真的太短了

4. 考试的时候机子老是跳出“应用程序出错”，然后过几秒钟自动消失，是不是这个原因口语没有录清楚也是我一直担心和怀疑的，虽然监考人员说没事的。但是算了，反正不会再考了...

如果有学校有口语强制要求，我就送8月的PBT成绩，哼哼，不得已啊 -_-

祝大家好运啊～


山衔版主提议我写个作文的经验，那就献丑以作抛砖引玉之用吧

说说作文吧。
1. Integrated writing
其实就是听清楚了基本就搞定了，行文实在太程式化了，不想用模板都难啊。下面是我一般采用的模板：
The speaker is mainly discussing the topic of A by closely reexamining the B, C, and D, finding that ... rather then ... presented in the reading passage. What are stated in the reading is completely challenged by the speaker.
First, ...
What is more, ...
Finally, ...
So, based on the discussions demonstrated above, the contents in the reading passage are thoroughly jeopardized by the speaker.
中间develop的三段的末尾要注意来个conclusion，阐明reading passage和speaker的观点关系。
当然了，reading passage和lecture的关系一般就是支持，反对（不过9.15考的是提出对应的solution，也差不多了）
要注意句子不要太简单了，baby words可是不行的，其实一个长句就能涵盖很多内容，一段也就3,4个句子组成。
用词要有variety，我曾经总结了相应的词汇，下面是一些：
反驳的：
challenge/question/contradict/weaken/jeopardize/cast doubt on/disagree with
Contrary to what is stated in the reading that ..., the speaker strongly thinks that ....
论证的：
proof/expound(on)/demonstrate/sustain/illustrate/instance(v.)/exemplify/confirm/corroborate/substantiate/affirm/strengthen/fortify/underpin/defend/fend for/endorse/
提出问题的：
neglect n./v.
negligence n.疏忽
forget about; leave out by mistake
overlook
lose sight of
ignore
leave out of consideration
缺陷
faults, weakness, defect, mistake, error,
讨论：
discuss/review/examine/investigate/reinvestigate/reexamine/find that/raise the issue that/strongly think that/
差不多就这些了。

2. Independent writing
最重要的是你符合ETS的评分规则，看bulletin或者OG上面都有，重点看5分和6分的标准，其他就不用看了，理解是哪些问题使得一篇文章得不到6分的，然后重点注意避免。要重视下面的问题：
有效的address the topic，点题
组织结构，充分论述
例子（细节）清晰而且恰当
文章连贯
语言结构要有变化，字词选择多样且恰当
其中字词结构和多样性我认为是很重要的，T还是重视写作能力的，和GRE的AW有些不同，后者更重视分析和逻辑。所以，即便上了考场没有什么思路，也要把这些你认为不怎么样的观点用高水平的话语表现出来。详细一些，你的文章是否总是I think, we know, there is这样的句子，那么你的文章就没有变化，没有气势了。注意收集各类句式，补充到你的文章中，这些句式应该是ETS喜欢的。怎么找这些句子，简单啊，去老托福的阅读文章中找，看ETS是如何处理长短句的，是如何使用从句的，是如何处理倒装的，多看一些，摘录下来，一定有收获的。举些例子：
Precipitated onto the ground, the water trickles down to form brooks, streams, and rivers, constituting what is called the hydrographic network. 前后状语
These new urbanites, already convinced that …, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that … 过去分词后置定语
A is …. B, by contrast, is …. 连贯
It was to discover a fungicide without that double effect that Brown and Hazen began their long-distance collaboration. 强调句
The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to 2 hours, which characterized 19th century political discourse, has given way to … 同位语＋定语从句
Indeed, had it not been for the superb preservation of these fossils, they might well have been classified as dinosaurs. 虚拟语气
Matching the influx of foreign immigrants into the larger cities of the United States during the late nineteenth century was a domestic migration, from town and farm to city, within the United States. 倒装＋同位语
Chief among these artists were A, B, C, and D. 可以用在第一段来统领你要论述的理由
这样的句子太多了，我看了从98.10到2000之前的阅读文章（很快的，基本一个晚上就可以搞定），收集了一些句子，琢磨体会，对行文的多样性是很有帮助的。其实，我作文也就练习过3,4篇，但是，我觉得向高手学习招式，比低水平的重复练习重要多了。

简单的说了一些，希望对大家有用。
