在新托福口語考試中，要求考生的答案要清晰（clear）和連貫（coherent）。在緊張的、有嚴(yán)格時(shí)間限制的考試過程中要做到這兩個(gè)要求，一個(gè)最為行之有效的方法便是使用邏輯感非常強(qiáng)烈的句型。本文將主要針對新托福口語Task3, 通過一些常見真題來探討一下最能體現(xiàn)邏輯感的四大狀語從句（即時(shí)間，原因，條件，讓步）在考試當(dāng)中的運(yùn)用，從而幫助考生們有效展現(xiàn)清晰和連貫的語言能力。

一．四大條件狀語從句

1 時(shí)間狀語從句 【adverbial clause of time】：
? 常用引導(dǎo)詞：When, while, as, after, before, as soon as, since, till

4 讓步狀語從句 【adverbial clause of concession】

二．Task 3真題示范講解

? 題目簡介：

? 回答演示1：

From the reading material, we know that the college is going to add music, dance and sculpture as compulsory courses. the man in the conversation thinks that this is a bad idea. First, he majors in banking and has to take finance class，he has to take the fine art courses, and he would lose some opportunities to choose the courses that he needs. Also, he points out that he doesn’t enjoy sculpture at all, it would help students relax, not everyone has the talent about arts. He has to take these courses, it will be a waste of time and make him stressful.

? 答案解析：
新托福口語part3中，通常需要考生將主要人物的態(tài)度以及兩個(gè)理由清楚地表達(dá)出來，我們可以看到在這個(gè)范例中，雖然考生將reading part和listening part 中重要信息都涵蓋在答案里，而且沒有出現(xiàn)任何明顯的語法錯(cuò)誤，但是因?yàn)槿鄙俦匾倪壿嬤B接詞，整個(gè)表達(dá)給我們一種非常凌亂的感覺，毫無任何連貫和清晰可言。這也是很多考生之所以雖然將筆記記得非常詳細(xì)，卻依然拿不到理想分?jǐn)?shù)的主要原因。

From the reading material, we know that the college is going to add music, dance and sculpture as compulsory courses. However, the man in the conversation thinks that this is a bad idea, due to the following reasons. First, considering that he majors in banking and has to take finance class， he would lose some opportunities to choose the courses that he needs, if he had to take the fine art courses. Also, he points out that he doesn’t enjoy sculpture at all even though it would help students relax, for not everyone has the talent about arts. If he had to take these courses, it would be a waste of time and make him stressful.

? 答案解析：
在這個(gè)回答范例中，我們在原來答案的基礎(chǔ)上加入了若干表示原因，讓步，條件邏輯關(guān)系的連接詞，構(gòu)成了狀語從句，可以很明顯感到改動后的答案體現(xiàn)了強(qiáng)烈的邏輯感，前后句的關(guān)系更加緊密，語意立刻變得清晰，連貫。
