雅思口語考試技巧學習推薦
你對于自己的英語口語有多大的信心?如果面對雅思的口語考試,大家是否能夠更好地完成它們呢?關(guān)于雅思口語考試,給人留下的猜測與想象太多了,但是很多人一進考場就緊張,這也是需要克服的。今天和大家分享雅思口語的兩個技巧吧。
01
豐富的細節(jié)
不少考生常常用一句話,甚至幾個字就把考官給“打發(fā)”了。
例如:Do you prefer eating at home or eating out?
如果回答:I prefer to eat at home.
就算考官想給你高分都給不了。雅思考查的是語言水平,這樣的回答實在體現(xiàn)不出很高的語言運用能力。能力要怎樣體現(xiàn)呢?細節(jié)描述是一個很有效的方式。
上面的問題可以這樣回答:
My preference would be eating at home because I feel that eating at home is money-saving and there’s an insurance for the food quality; whereas when I eating out it offers more choices and it’s hassle-free, but speaking from a frugal perspective, I think eating out is costly.
開頭表明立場(My preference would be eating at home),之后給出兩個原因(money-saving 和 insurance for the food quality)。接著運用比較,指出對立觀點的優(yōu)勢(more choices 和 hassle-free)以及劣勢(costly)。有了細節(jié),就有了展示語言能力的機會。
同樣,不少“考鴨”表示 Part 2 難度最大,答題卡上的問題都答完了,時間還沒過一分鐘,剩下的一分鐘只能硬著頭皮把剛才說過的話換種方式再說一遍。其實只要加上細節(jié),這些問題就能迎刃而解
例如,描述某次轉(zhuǎn)?;蛘甙峒业慕?jīng)歷。如果沒有細節(jié),如新舊環(huán)境的比較以及個人的感受,這兩分鐘會很難挨。下面一段素材沒有所謂的大詞,沒有復雜的句型,但豐富的細節(jié)值得參考,大家隨意感受一下。
I remember moving to a new home when I was in primary school. It wasn’t a smooth transition at all. We moved from one side of town to the other side of town. The living environment improved a lot and our home was a lot bigger, but it felt different. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t have anyone to play with. All the neighbours didn’t feel very close to each other and it felt very cold. Living in the new place felt like a new life for me. I took me about half a year to get into the new tempo and feel cozy. I forced myself to be proactive and started to meet new friends. After developing a new social circle, I felt a lot better and I started to have a better peace of mind. This was a big thing for me in my childhood and it made me into an adaptable person.
開頭回答了時間和地點并概括了搬家的感受(wasn’t a smooth transition),接下來描述各種細節(jié),說明為什么有這樣的感受。描述主要通過對比,除了比較物理環(huán)境(The living environment improved a lot and our home was a lot bigger),更比較了鄰里關(guān)系并表達了自己的感受(…, but it felt different. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t have anyone to play with. All the neighbours didn’t feel very close to each other and it felt very cold.)。之后描述自己如何改變現(xiàn)狀(I took me about half a year to get into the new tempo and feel cozy. I forced myself to be proactive and started to meet new friends. After developing a new social circle, I felt a lot better and I started to have a better peace of mind.)以及此次經(jīng)歷對自己的影響(This was a big thing for me in my childhood and it made me into an adaptable person.)。
02
地道的表達
有了豐富的細節(jié)還不夠,表達不地道就不能算有較高的語言運用能力。地道的表達可以體現(xiàn)在很多方面,這里主要從英語詞匯方面入手。下面幾個 tip 簡單卻很有效。
01
轉(zhuǎn)折用 though 替換 but
當你想說 but 來轉(zhuǎn)折語氣,不妨試著在句子后面加個 though,例如:
Our team lost. It was a good game, though.
Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different, though.
02
多用副詞
副詞在口語中應(yīng)用額很廣泛。如 exactly, basically, really 之類表示程度的副詞可以使表達更準確。例如:
That's exactly what I want!
Where are you going exactly?
So basically, there's not a lot I can do about it.
The more expensive articles are not necessarily better.
另外,用副詞修飾形容詞也可以加強語氣。例如:
She's shockingly beautiful.
It's an outrageously expensive meal.
03
用 tend to 替換 most of
當你想說 most of 的時候,不妨改成 tend to,增加詞匯多樣性。例如:
We tend to cook at home instead of dining out. (we tend to = most of us)
04
避免過多使用 very
口語答案里面呢,要有意識的盡可能拋棄 very,一種方法是用 pretty 替代,另一種就直接用個更高級的形容詞。例如:
That performance was pretty impressive.
I'm pretty sure about that.
He was furious (=very angry) with himself for letting things get so out of control.
05
避免生硬地說 NO
回答考官問題時,直接用 No 略顯生硬,下面的說法能委婉地表達否定的意思。
-Does your school have diving classes?
-Not that I'm aware of, no.(潛臺詞:可能有,不過我不知道。)
-Have you ever had the experience when you watched the sky for a long time?
-Not that I can think of, no.(潛臺詞:可能有,不過我暫時想不到。)
