托福口语_能和外国人“无障碍交流”，口语一定能拿高分吗
能和老外“无障碍交流”的这个标准其实非常模糊，如果我们用托福口语考试的标准来衡量，许多自认为可以和老外“无障碍沟通”的同学，是拿不到单科≥23分成绩的(托福口语单科满分30，中国考生此项均分18分)。
托福口语|能和外国人“无障碍交流”，口语一定能拿高分吗?
口语的提高，个人认为分为两个部分:1. 表达自然性的提高2.交流能力的提高。表达自然性的意思是语音语调等看似基础，但对我们日后表达的自信，流畅表达观点的能力，沟通效率等非常重要的必须能力。就好像想要顺畅地开高速路，得先通过小路、大路的驾照考试练习一样，没有基础保障的实践，就容易漏洞百出，上阵心慌。
而我认为我们很多人，对于“交流能力”的理解是有误区的：我们觉得能“听懂”老外的话并和对方进行对话，就代表自己有不错的交流能力了。而事实上，我相信绝大部分同学应该并不具备和老外像本国人一样自然、自信、漂亮地进行生活日常对话，及对于某些如教育、经济、哲学、政治等话题深入沟通、高效交换意见的能力。
换句话说，如果我们用托福口语考试的标准来衡量，许多自认为可以和老外“无障碍沟通”的同学，是拿不到单科≥23分成绩的(托福口语单科满分30，中国考生此项均分18分)。
而其实托福口语的高分标准(≥27)很简单：
说的顺，几乎没有不自然的卡顿、磕巴;
语言没有很多语法错误，内容表达效率高一些;
语音语调整体比较自然，发音、语调如果很地道，会有很不错的分数加成。
口语好的标准，自然是仁者见仁智者见智的，但是在我听了太多那些觉得和老外“沟通无障碍”但却托福口语分数非常一般的同学的抱怨，我觉得还是有必要解释一下“无障碍沟通”和“不错口语水平”之间的区别。
这里的逻辑不能错：
一个托福口语≥27分，表达能力强，交流能力佳，语音语调地道的人，是可以和老外“无障碍交流”的。
但却不能说：一个和老外经常说话，感觉可以和他们“无障碍交流”的人，就肯定表达能力强，交流能力佳，语音语调地道，且托福口语铁定≥27分。
能和老外“无障碍交流”的这个标准其实非常模糊，我们换个角度思考一下，如果有很多老外，把和你说话当成练习中文的机会，在你时间有限又不太想打消对方积极性的情况下，你是不是不会频繁指出对方发音、语法、意思方面的错误? 同时，你也不太可能和对方进行非常深入话题的讨论，因为往往交换意见的交流会变成你单方面的中文课堂…。
我们在相对更为舒适的Conversation(对话、交流)情境下说英文，往往会对自己的真实语言水平有不太直观的评价。因为谈话内容往往重复性高、语言简单，同时也没有规定时间让你必须准确、自然地说清楚你的个人观点这种比较严苛要求的束缚，“无障碍交流”事实上对于很多人都是触手可得的。
而考试的分数取决于整体，根植于细节。整体的流畅性，如果没有正确的发音、语法、表达积累的辅助，也无从谈起。
所以，我们应该怎么做?
我列出在我看来一天之中可以被利用起来的“垃圾”时间段:
- 早晨醒来没有立刻起身洗漱习惯，先看一会手机的时间
- 洗漱、上厕所的时间
- 上、下学/班路上坐公车或者坐地铁或者开车的时间
- 上学、上班期间，学习或者工作间隙的时间
- 吃午饭&晚饭的时间
- 吃完饭后的放松时间
- 睡前的一段无法立即入睡，看手机的时间
我们可以计算一下，回忆一下你近期起床、洗漱、通勤、吃饭、洗澡和睡觉的每日状态，计算一下自己的每日“垃圾”时间时长，一般都会≥3h，事实上，可能你也会比较惊讶于你每天“浪费”掉的时间竟然如此多。对于学习而言，其实只需要利用其中的一小部分，长此以往便可以取得不错的效果。
连时间都不愿付出就想收获成长，念念不忘，也无回响 …
