托福综合口语中不论是阅读还是听力都要认真把握，因为这些材料中所包含的内容就是题目要考察的，如果大家在口语表述中漏掉了内容，那么口语考试可能就会被扣分。所以笔记记录和细节把握是托福综合口语的难点。
一.托福口语难点解析
1.综合口语需要把握细节
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.综合口语笔记难做
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.综合口语每道题重点不同
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。
二.实例解析托福综合口语难点
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.
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!因为一段是背景知识的交代和细节阐示。所以一段基本上：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。
