你對(duì)于自己的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)有多大的信心?如果面對(duì)雅思的口語(yǔ)考試,大家是否能夠更好地完成它們呢?關(guān)于雅思口語(yǔ)考試,給人留下的猜測(cè)與想象太多了,但是很多人一進(jìn)考場(chǎng)就緊張,這也是需要克服的。今天和大家分享雅思口語(yǔ)的兩個(gè)技巧吧。

01

豐富的細(xì)節(jié)

不少考生常常用一句話,甚至幾個(gè)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(yǔ)言水平,這樣的回答實(shí)在體現(xiàn)不出很高的語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力。能力要怎樣體現(xiàn)呢?細(xì)節(jié)描述是一個(gè)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(chǎng)(My preference would be eating at home),之后給出兩個(gè)原因(money-saving 和 insurance for the food quality)。接著運(yùn)用比較,指出對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)的優(yōu)勢(shì)(more choices 和 hassle-free)以及劣勢(shì)(costly)。有了細(xì)節(jié),就有了展示語(yǔ)言能力的機(jī)會(huì)。

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(shí)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(shí)只要加上細(xì)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(xì)節(jié),如新舊環(huán)境的比較以及個(gè)人的感受,這兩分鐘會(huì)很難挨。下面一段素材沒有所謂的大詞,沒有復(fù)雜的句型,但豐富的細(xì)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(shí)間和地點(diǎn)并概括了搬家的感受(wasn’t a smooth transition),接下來描述各種細(xì)節(jié),說明為什么有這樣的感受。描述主要通過對(duì)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(dá)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(duì)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(dá)

有了豐富的細(xì)節(jié)還不夠,表達(dá)不地道就不能算有較高的語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力。地道的表達(dá)可以體現(xiàn)在很多方面,這里主要從英語(yǔ)詞匯方面入手。下面幾個(gè) tip 簡(jiǎn)單卻很有效。

01

轉(zhuǎn)折用 though 替換 but

當(dāng)你想說 but 來轉(zhuǎn)折語(yǔ)氣,不妨試著在句子后面加個(gè) 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(yǔ)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(dá)更準(zhǔn)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(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。例如:

She's shockingly beautiful.

It's an outrageously expensive meal.

03

用 tend to 替換 most of

當(dāng)你想說 most of 的時(shí)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(yǔ)答案里面呢,要有意識(shí)的盡可能拋棄 very,一種方法是用 pretty 替代,另一種就直接用個(gè)更高級(jí)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(shí),直接用 No 略顯生硬,下面的說法能委婉地表達(dá)否定的意思。

-Does your school have diving classes?

-Not that I'm aware of, no.(潛臺(tái)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(tái)詞:可能有,不過我暫時(shí)想不到。)

這些就是雅思口語(yǔ)技巧的分享知識(shí),希望同學(xué)們能夠用心體會(huì)理解,把這些知識(shí)運(yùn)用到實(shí)踐當(dāng)中,通過堅(jiān)持不懈的練習(xí),同學(xué)們一定能夠拿下雅思口語(yǔ)。不要一提起雅思口語(yǔ)就犯怵,要克服對(duì)它的恐懼心理,大家要好好加油哦!
