2019新托福独立口语与独立写作的变化-审题难度加强 ，在进入主题之前，需要明确一点的是这些改动都是小的改动，但是是必须注意的小改动。好的消息是，答题的思路和技巧是不需要改变的，改变的是审题的准确性。
TOEFLSpeaking Change #1：多选选项题目字数增加
更长的题目意味着更长的理解和审题时间，同时也意味着更高的偏题风险。以下是新旧托福独立题对比。
OlderTOEFL Speaking Multiple Choice Question Format
"Yourdegree requires that you should choose a history course. Which of thefollowing courses would you prefer?
Arthistory
Twentieth-centuryworld history

NewTOEFL Speaking Multiple Choice Question Format

A courseabout Twentieth-century World History, the study of criticalunderstanding of major political developments.
A courseabout Science History, the study of the development of science andscientific knowledge.
Includedetails and examples to support your choice.”
TOEFLSpeaking Change #2:优缺势问题设陷
OlderTOEFL Speaking Advantage／DisadvantageQuestionFormat
"Whatare the advantages and disadvantages of a standing desk?"
那让我们看看新托福可能会出现的提问方式，它很可能会正反两个情景都说，但是真真的问题只问一个情景下的优缺势。审题不严格，极易答偏打错。
NewTOEFL Speaking Advantage／DisadvantageQuestionFormat
"Somepeople prefer standing desks, while others prefer sitting at theirdesk. Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of standing desks.Use details and examples in your answer.”
NewTOEFL Format for the Independent Writing Questions

独立写作作为明显的改动，就是题目本身字数增多，增长审题时间的同时，造成一些理解上的干扰。以下是新旧独立写作问题对比。
“Oftenwe are asked to collaborate in team projects at events, school, andeven work. Sometimes we are required to work with a group of peoplewho share our opinions and ideas. However, sometimes we need to workwith groups of people who have entirely different opinions then us.
Which doyou prefer? Use reasons and examples to support your answer. Do notuse memorized examples.”
而八月之前的问题，则会是这样的。
“Wouldyou prefer to work with people who share similar opinions or peoplewith different opinions?”
所以，在今年8月以后要进行托福考试的孩子，一定要适应这个阅读时间的把控，时间单位的理解准确性是至关重要的！
目前推特上已经出现了考生提到独立题字数异常多的现象，那么我们平时在训练考试本身时，也一定要全方面提升语言素质，为考试新模式奠定基础。
