托福獨立口語考試需要大家做好筆記，而且時間最多只有20秒。下面就對大家進行一下托福獨立口語筆記的特訓。托福獨立口語要求考生就某一自己熟悉的話題闡述自己的觀點。準備時間并不多，那我們如何在這么少的時間內做筆記呢?

　　一般情況下，托福獨立口語一類問題是自由回答間題(Free-choice Response)，如：If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Use details to support your. response;另一類是選擇類問題(Paired-choice Response)，如：Do you like to try new kinds of food or eat the same kind of food all the time? Use details and examples to support your response,準備時間為15秒，回答問題時間為45秒。

　　這部分問題會被朗讀出來，且同時出現在屏幕上?？忌梢圆挥美頃娔X的朗讀，迅速閱讀完問題。這樣可以爭取大概5秒，那么在這大約20秒內，考生可在草稿紙上迅速記下自己所要表達的關鍵信息。這里記筆記的方法為“TST表格”。TST ( Topic-Supporting ideas--Transitions)意思是考生須在草稿紙上用一到兩個詞寫下欲表達的Topic(主題)，Supporting ideas(分論點)和Transitions(信號詞)。下面試舉一例：

　　Question:　Where would you want to be professionally in ten years? Use details to support your response.

　　考生應迅速在紙上寫下“own bus...”、“master”、“work com...”、“start”等信息見以下TST( Topic—Supporting ideas—Transitions )表格。

　　Topic statement:

　　own bus... (I would like to own my own business) Supporting ideas:

　　( How I will work toward owning my business)

　　master (Will get master's in business )

　　work com... (Will work in company while planning my business)

　　start (Will start my own business when I am ready)

　　Transitions: 10 next because 3 within 10 y (可用y代替 years)

　　Sample Answer

　　In ten years I would like to win an import business of my own. Next year, I will be starting a master's program in business with a specialization in entrepreneurship. I will be getting this degree because I hope to start my own business and make it successful some day. After I finish my master's degree three years from now, I will most likely take a position in another company for a few years to make some money and to spend some time planning my own business. Within ten years, I hope to own my own company and be on the way to making it a success.

　　再舉一例：

　　Question:　Sometimes students have to write papers. Sometimes they have to give oral presentations. Which activity do you think is better for students, and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.

　　考生應迅速在紙上寫下“pap”、“strong read write exams”、“more time think deeply”等信息。見以下TST( Topic—Supporting ideas—Transitions )表格：:

　　Topic: pap (writing papers is better for students) Supporting ideas: (Why writing papers is better)

　　* strong read write exams (need strong writing skills for reading and writing and prepare for exams)

　　* more time think deeply(show understanding for more time to explain and think deeply)

　　Transitions: firstly because, so also

　　Sample Answer

　　I think writing papers is better for students. Firstly we need to develop strong writing skills. We go to school mainly to learn reading and writing, so we need a lot of practice. Examinations require a lot of writing, so writing papers is good reparation. Also, I think writing is a better way to show that I understand. When I write a paper, I can think deeply because I have more time to explain my ideas.

　　為了給考生們更多機會練習使用“TST表格”，特提供一下6個問題供大家練習。
