对于很多准备托福考试的同学来说，对于近期的托福口语考试难度趋势有没有了解呢？接下来就和51出国留学网来看看托福口语考试为什么越来越难？
1. 细节变得更多：
特别是Task3这种校园话题，在conversation中，男生和女生闲聊的内容会更多些，personal information就会变得更多，记笔记的时候就会更忙。
2. 笔记制胜
平时练习的时候大家可能没有感觉，但是到了考场就会有一种突如其来的孤独感：文本，听力原文什么都没有，只有笔记和自己相依为命。
所以笔记是非常非常重要的。
3. 不同task的focus：
Task3： 细节
Task4： 故事主干
Task5： 个人原因阐述
Task6： 两个例子的完整性
在记笔记的时候，每一个task的侧重点都会有不同，请同学们一定注意。
尤其是task6，切忌狂记，一定要有选择性的去记笔记。
这个是2015年6月份的一道考题
题目
Using the examples from the lecture， explain two ways the railroad system changed business in the United States.
部分原文：
Ok， so we’ve been talking about various factors that have changed the United States’ economy. One especially important factor is the development of railroads. When the railroad system expended to almost the US， it fundamentally changed the way business perform in this country.
For one thing， it expanded and the railroad enable companies to start selling their goods to all of the country. Since trains could now transport merchandise all over US， companies could now sell good to customers pretty much anywhere of the country.
For example. There was a big company that sold quartz. The company started in a big city. And before the development of railroad， the company could only sell its quartz to people living in or near the city. But when the railroad expanded， the company could load their quartz on trains and have it delivered to all parts of the country.
第一段有没有同学很想不由自主记笔记的？但是你记完了就会发现：没有任何用！因为第一段是背景知识的交代和细节阐示。所以第一段基本上：不用记！
那从哪里开始？第二段！因为从第二段开始，professor才开始详细讲述railroad给美国经济带来的实际性的好处，所以，第二段才有关键信息涵盖在内。
