【雅思口語】如何拓展答題思路?
很多烤鴨們在備考口語時已經(jīng)了解到拿到高分的一個關鍵,那就是努力做好評分標準中所說的fluency,vocabulary,grammar和pronunciation。但在實際練習的時候卻都會時不時遇到這樣一個瓶頸——無話可講。這對口語來說是很致命的一個問題,沒有內(nèi)容作依托,所有評分標準中的口語能力都無法展示,所以了解豐富答案內(nèi)容的方法是備考口語的當務之急。在本文中,筆者將和烤鴨們探討和分享一些簡單實用的拓展答題思路的策略,希望可以成為考生們爭取高分的有力武器之一。
一.拓展思路方法之:多重細節(jié)
造成答案過短的主要原因之一就是“只回答”考官所提的問題。而是事實上,考官提問的目的并不“只想聽”問題的答案。在基本答案的基礎上,考生們需要主動給出更多額外信息,因為考官想聽到更多“語言能力”的展示。
所以大部分的題目的核心拓展思路為:Direct answer + X
1. X= 5WH+ How Often
這個方法基本就是“自問自答”,把與核心內(nèi)容相關的各方面信息主動提供給考官,然后連綴成完整的答案。下面我們來看一下part1和part2的一些真題演示。
Part 1真題:Have you travelled recently?
思路演示1 :
?
Yes, I have. (Direct answer)Last month(when) I went to Hong Kong(where) with my parents(who).? We had a great time at the Disney Land and went shopping,too.(what)
?
思路演示2:
?
No,I haven’t(Direct answer). I’m been busy with my studies(why).But after the exam(when), my parents and I(who)are going to Hong Kong and we would like to go to Disney Land and go shopping, too. (what)
?
Part 2真題:
思路演示:“where it was”: on campus(Direct answer)
(Where):It was next to our teaching building of English Department
?
(When) : It was built 50 years ago when our school was established.
?
(Who) : Most of the students liked to go there as well as the teachers
?
(How often): I almost went there everyday especially around exam time.
?
我們可以看到,這個方法簡單易行,是拓展思路最基本的方法,只要具備基本的語法功底就可以輕松做到。 但在part2中筆者建議考生們不要使用“過量”,因為part2有嚴格的時間限制,如果每一條point都補充很詳細的信息很有可能會遺漏卡片上的重要信息,甚至會讓考官覺得你“跑題”,所以適可而止就可以了。
2. X= examples
在基本答案之后,考生可主動引入例子。我們先來看一下常見真題的演示:
Part 1 真題:What's your favourite type of music?
?
思路演示:Well,I’m a big fan of Modern Popular Music(Direct answer), you know, like Hip-Pop, Rap, Rhythm and Blues , Rock ‘n roll, things like that…
?
Part 3 真題:What kinds of films do people in China like to watch?
?
思路演示:Well, they watch a broad range of movies, in fact(Direct answer). For? instance, men prefer? Action & Adventure , Martial Arts and Romantic Comedy.? But women are more into Romance and Romantic Comedy.? And children are quite interested in Science Fiction and Animated Cartoons…
?
你會發(fā)現(xiàn),如果你對所涉及話題比較熟悉,就應該主動找機會采取舉例子的方法,把之前積累的詞匯作為“examples”展示出來,這是展示“vocabulary”的能力,化被動為主動向考官拿分的好方法。
