Intelligibility是托福口语评分标准里面反复出现一个单词，译为清晰性;其实我们在评分标准里面还能看到对这个词的解释：easy to follow，回答者的逻辑一定要非常清晰并且不能出现任何造成别人理解困难的跳跃，站在rater(评分人员)的角度去考虑的话应该非常容易的就能跟上回答者的思路。当然在托福口语题目里面经常出details这个词。笔者就以口语独立两道题为例展示给大家什么样的口语符合以上两个要求(清晰性和细节)。

　　People often feel home sick when they are away from home. What do you often do to deal with home sickness?

　　On top of that, I would say chatting with my family online is also very helpful, not only can you hear their voice, you can also see their face.
