西方人說話喜歡開門見山，表達(dá)時(shí)更是會(huì)事先在頭腦中形成大致的邏輯框架，對開頭、中間和結(jié)尾進(jìn)行規(guī)劃再脫口而出，因此顯得條理清晰?？忌挥幸赃@種思維方式為基礎(chǔ)，應(yīng)用有邏輯性的開頭來陳述立場，進(jìn)而發(fā)展論點(diǎn)，得出結(jié)論，才會(huì)讓考官形成思想認(rèn)同。
朗閣海外考試研究中心分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，在新托福口語考試中很重要的一點(diǎn)是要時(shí)刻保持邏輯思維的敏銳性，在醞釀出豐富內(nèi)容的同時(shí)運(yùn)用邏輯的力量合理安排內(nèi)容的發(fā)展才能征服考官，取得高分。那么邏輯性具體分幾個(gè)方面來體現(xiàn)，這里就Task 5從頭說起。
一、框架邏輯
口語考試共分為6個(gè)Task, 前兩個(gè)是Independent Task, 直接根據(jù)指令回答問題，后四個(gè)為Integrated Task, 要綜合聽力和閱讀的內(nèi)容作答。Task 5加入的是聽力的內(nèi)容，先聽對話，然后根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容回答問題，準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間20秒，答題時(shí)間60秒。對話的內(nèi)容是兩個(gè)人先討論一個(gè)問題，然后找出可能的兩個(gè)解決問題的方法。題目指令要求考生敘述這個(gè)問題，說明選擇哪一種方法，并解釋原因。
作為四個(gè)Integrated Task中唯一一個(gè)詢問考生觀點(diǎn)的題目，對自己觀點(diǎn)的闡述相比對內(nèi)容的概括要簡單。指令的要求也非常的明晰，只要按照“復(fù)述問題-復(fù)述方案-選擇方案-闡明理由”的步驟來進(jìn)行，回答本身就已經(jīng)有了一定的邏輯性。這就是文章開頭所說的邏輯框架，也就是從結(jié)構(gòu)或形式上來講回答問題的邏輯性，朗閣海外考試研究中心將其大致概括為四步走：
1. General Description of Main Problem
2. Two Possible Solutions
3. Personal Opinion / Choice
4. Supporting Reasons
二、內(nèi)容邏輯
確定了Task 5的邏輯框架以后，接下來便是對內(nèi)容的有效組織。對問題本身和兩種方案進(jìn)行復(fù)述；選擇對話中給出的一個(gè)解決方法；對于同意的方案可以用對話中出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容作為原因進(jìn)行說明，對于不同意的方案清楚地說出個(gè)人反對的理由-所有的這些內(nèi)容，除了要能用一些普遍的連接詞來做好過渡銜接以外，狀語從句的使用也是串聯(lián)內(nèi)容時(shí)必不可少的紐帶。在Task 5中以原因、讓步、條件狀語從句體現(xiàn)尤為突出。
下面以一道真題為例來分析其對邏輯體現(xiàn)的作用。題目如下：
Man: Hey Lisa, how’s it going?
Woman: Hi Mark. Uh, I’m OK, I guess, but my schoolwork is really stressing me out.
Man: [sympathetically] Yeah? What’s wrong?
Woman: Well, I’ve got a paper to write and two exams to study for. And a bunch of math problems to finish. It’s just so much that I can’t concentrate on any of it. I start concentrating on studying for one of my exams, and then I’m like, how long’s it gonna take to finish that problem set?
Man: Wow. Sounds like you’ve got a lot more work than you can handle right now. [Not wanting to sound too pushy] Look, have you talked to some of your professors . . . mean, you know, try to explain the problem. Look, you could probably get an extension on your paper, or on the math assignment . . .
Woman: You think? It would give me a little more time to prepare for my exams right now.
Man: Well, I mean another thing that you might do . . . I mean have you tried making yourself a schedule? I mean that’s what I do when I’m feeling overwhelmed.
Woman: What does that do for you?
Man: Well, I mean it helps you to focus your energies. You know, you make yourself a chart that shows the next few days and the time till your stuff is due and . . .
Woman: Uh-huh . . . [meaning “I’m listening”]
Man: I mean think about what you need to do and when you have to do it by. You know then start filling in your schedule—like, all right 9:00 [nine] to 11:30 [eleven-thirty] A.M., study for exam. 12:00 [twelve] to 3:00 [three], work on problem set. But I mean don’t make the time periods too long. Like, don’t put in eight hours of studying—you know, you’ll get tired, or start worrying about your other work again. But if you keep to your schedule, you know you’ll just have to worry about one thing at a time.
Woman: Yeah, that might work. [somewhat noncommittally]
