雅思口語(yǔ)最神通廣大的法寶之二:具體細(xì)節(jié)
好多烤鴨們一直對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)抱著一種誤解,以為好的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)就是好的中文口語(yǔ)的翻譯,所以在口語(yǔ)課堂上,經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到有同學(xué)在很糾結(jié)地講著“形而上”的英文——很抽象,很哲學(xué)。講到最后把自己和聽(tīng)眾們都搞得云山霧罩,不明白為什么自己的中文呱呱叫,換了英文就把老外給講得眉頭緊鎖。事實(shí)上,考官欣賞的英文是“形而下”——很具體,很生活才對(duì)。也就是說(shuō),跟雅思考官展示“交流能力”,靠的不是不著邊際的高談闊論,而是要有實(shí)實(shí)在在的內(nèi)容,也就是必不可少的small details(具體細(xì)節(jié))。接下來(lái),專家就將介紹一下如何在考試的三個(gè)part中使用small details把問(wèn)題答得通透明白。
Part 1:Introduction & Interview
【常見(jiàn)真題】
Do you like sports?
Do you like art?
Do you like cooking?
Do you like to watch TV?
【低分答案】
Yes,l do.
【題目分析】
很多同學(xué)在給出這樣的答案時(shí),都抱著一種想法:在part1考官只是在問(wèn)我問(wèn)題。所以回答時(shí)有點(diǎn)像接受審問(wèn),越少說(shuō)越好。但是考官真正的目的卻是在邀請(qǐng)考生主動(dòng)提供信息,以作為檢測(cè)考生英語(yǔ)交流能力的參考,也就是說(shuō)回答的越少展示的機(jī)會(huì)就越少,分?jǐn)?shù)自然就低。
所以建議考生在回答part1的問(wèn)題時(shí)應(yīng)“主動(dòng)”給出以下的信息:
what type of sport or art or music or TV programs you like
when you do something
how long you have liked it
how often you do something
who you do it with
why you like it
……
【高分答案】

(who & how often) and I enjoy playing it with my friends at weekends.
