考过英语专八的人托福考试好考吗?
英语专业八级和托福都是能够证明英语水平的考试?那么,很多朋友想知道如果自己已经考过了专八考托福会不会容易呢?且看下文。
英语专业八级和托福水平有什么差别
有区别,专八相当于托福105左右,而且一个是中国人出题,一个是ETS出题,思维以及考察重点不同,托福更重你去国外学习能听懂课堂的能力,是能力测试,专八是水平测试。我自己就是英语专业毕业,从事托福教学
问: 你好,我非英语专业。英语六级水平,想考托福,每天用四个小时学英语,时间安排 :托福真题,口语,单词。请问这样大概多长时间可以考托福。
答: 托福有技巧的,可以像我一样从事托福培训,只要你分数高
问: 动机是因为自己的专业比较冷门,想从事英语行业,所以在努力,但不知道考托福究竟对从事英语行业有什么帮助。
一般英语刚过八级的人进行托福考试,可以过得多少分?
没有换算方式,也没有绝对的可比性。
专业八级考试内容涵盖英语听、写、译和人文常识。托福考试涵盖听说读写。但是由于考试形式的不同,并不能反应一个人在另一个考试能考出多少分来。只能说在专八取得好成绩的话托福也能拿到不错的成绩。
英语专业八级考试(TEM-8,Test for English Majors-Band 8),全称为全国高校英语专业八级考试。自1991年起由中国大陆教育部实行,考察全国综合性大学英语专业学生。英语专业八级考试是由高等学校外语专业教学指导委员会主办的(非教育部主办)。它在每年的三月份举办一次,考试在上午进行,题型包括听力、阅读、改错、翻译和写作。 考试内容涵盖英语听、读、写、译各方面,2018年又加入人文常识。笔试形式考核。口试另外考核,名称为“英语专业八级口语与口译考试”。
托福是由美国教育测验服务社(ETS)举办的英语能力考试,全名为“检定非英语为母语者的英语能力考试”,中文音译为“托福”。TOEFL考试的有效期为两年,是从考试日期开始计算的。托福复习主要资料为托福机经又称民间托福答案题库。
托福,到底有多难?
Is the TOEFL Easy?
托福简单么?
When it comes to preparing for the TOEFL, the difficulty of the test is the elephant in the room (meaning everyone is wondering about it, but no one quite knows what to do). Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to this question. The research that has been done on the subject has one major, unavoidable flaw: it’s very difficult to scientifically determine language difficulty. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the individual sections of the test and consider their difficulty as best we can.
当人们开始着手准备托福时,考试的困难之处就像屋中象(意思是每个人都想要去知道它,可是没人知道到底该去做什么。)。不幸的是,这个问题没有简单的答案。在这个问题上所做的研究有一个重大的、不可避免的缺陷:很难科学地确定语言的难度。考虑到这一点,让我们来看看考试的各个部分,并尽可能地考虑它们的困难程度。
How Hard Is the TOEFL Reading Section?
托福阅读部分到底有多难?
Generally speaking, TOEFL reading is near the same difficulty as reading authentic American news sources, although the subject matter and vocabulary aren’t exactly the same. News media are not as focused on science and history as the TOEFL is.
一般来说,托福的阅读和阅读权威美国新闻资源几乎是一样的困难,尽管主题和词汇并不完全相同。新闻媒体不像托福那样注重科学和历史。
That academic focus is a large part of the difficulty. According to a study from 2012, TOEFL reading is slightly more difficult than the average written English text, largely because the reading section uses more academic vocabulary. But this sense of “difficulty” depends on your native language, in part. That’s because there is no conversational, informal English in the text—only material you might find in a book that you read for a university class. And if your native language has Latin roots (e.g. Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, or French), then academic English may be easy compared to informal English, because academic English often has Latin roots. If your mother tongue isn’t Latin-based, though, those academic words are more difficult, because they are rare in general English. Words like “comprise,” for example, show up more often in TOEFL reading, but only rarely in relaxed speech.
很大一部分困难来源于学术上。根据2012年的一项研究,托福考试比一般的书面英语测试要略微难一些,很大程度上是因为阅读部分使用了更多的学术词汇。但这种“困难”的感觉,在某种程度上取决于你的母语。这是因为在你为大学课程所读的书中,你可能会找到一种只有文本的材料,而不是那种只有对话的、非正式的英语。如果你的母语有拉丁词根(如西班牙语、意大利语、葡萄牙语或法语),那么与通俗英语相比,学术英语可能比较容易,因为学术英语通常有拉丁词根。如果你的母语不是拉丁语系,那么这些学术词汇就更难了,因为它们在一般英语中是很少见的。例如,像“comprise”这样的词在托福考试中经常出现,但在不严格的口语交谈中却很少出现。
Meanwhile, the timing of the reading section can also cause some serious trouble. You must be able to read those academic texts at a natural pace. Maybe you can work slowly through an article in the New Yorker with the help of a dictionary, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to get a top score on TOEFL reading. You have to read 750 words and answer 14 multiple choice questions in just 20 minutes.
That said, the TOEFL reading is easier than reading comprehension on the GRE, GMAT, or SAT, because you don’t need to understand as many subtle details. You only really need the plain information that is written, rather than the author’s intentions.
与此同时,阅读部分的时间控制也会带来一些严重的问题。你必须能够以自然的速度阅读那些学术文章。也许你词典的帮助下慢慢的去完全的理解一篇《纽约客》上的文章,但这并不表示你将在托福考试中获得高分。你必须在20分钟内阅读750个单词,并回答14个选择题。
也就是说,托福考试比GRE、GMAT或SAT的阅读理解要容易,因为你不需要理解很多微妙的细节。你只需要了解字面上显而易见的信息,而不是作者的意图。
