對于很少開口講英語的中國烤鴨們而言,雅思口語的難點在于:

一、沒話說(特別是第二部分的卡片題,碰到不熟悉的,說不滿一分鐘);

二、不知怎么說 (腦中出現(xiàn)的總是幾個關鍵詞而已,口頭連詞成句的能力還有欠缺,導致頻繁出現(xiàn)broken English,即不成句的英語)。

以上這兩點大大影響了口語成績,均分全球墊底成為可能。而這兩大難點的通用武器便是——經典句型。語法知識告訴我們,英語中的三大從句各有用途。定語從句起修飾或包裝的作用;名詞性從句提供信息;狀語從句補充說明,增加額外信息量。那么這三種從句是否也可以用在口語中并且發(fā)揮同樣的用途呢?下面就從語法角度來感受英語從句在應對雅思口語考試三部分話題時的巨大威力。
一、??????? 定語從句經典系列

①???? (名詞或代詞) is the kind of (person/place/thing…) who (which/that) is…

②???? (名詞或代詞) is a (person/ place…) who (which) gives you the impression of being…

③???? (名詞或代詞)is one of the most (形容詞) (名詞) I have ever seen/met/known.

④???? (地點名稱) is a place where you can do sth.

⑤???? (時間名詞) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.

實例分析:

原句????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 套用句型后

說明:雅思口語話題頻繁涉及人物,地點,物品,事件四大類,上表中的原句是在回答此類問題時多數考生使用的句型。其缺陷是過于簡短,一不能體現(xiàn)語法優(yōu)勢,二不能湊字數爭取時間。而套用句型后的表達效果就明顯不一樣了??梢?,定語從句的使用在口語中可以起到“包裝”作用。
