很多中國學生都會覺得托福的聽力很難，原因可能有很多：
不習慣美式發(fā)音，平時少聽native speakers講話，少聽錄音帶，詞匯量和知識面跟不上，口語不好等原因。
口語不好也會影響聽力？！ 當然會！托福的聽力很大一部分是對話，都是一些日常用語，如果口語不好當然聽不懂。 所以，托福聽力材料也是好的口語學習材料。要想提高聽力，光死聽死沒有用的，還要注意分析聽力原文。學習口語表達方法，多閱讀，多方面結合才能有正在的提高。"瀟瀟語言實驗室"現(xiàn)推出"托福口語聽力篇"，希望對大家有點幫助。每集都是根據(jù)歷屆的托福真題編寫。有編號的句子都是托福聽力原文，一些補充例句也是托福原文。
每集的句子摘自同一套托福聽力題。
