雅思的同学都了解,雅思口语评分标准主要分四个部分:发音流利性与连贯性、词汇多样性、语法多样性与准确性。
但实际情况是“大道理我都懂,却依然拿不到口语高分”
说白了就是:
1、口语表达不流畅,说词说句经常卡壳
2、发音不标准
3、中式思维影响,用词不准确,表达方式不地道
4、逻辑性不强,容易离题
想要在雅思口语口试中表现优异,必须先认清自身在口语上所存在的问题,对症下药,各个击破才能脱颖而出。今天小雅学姐主要从“用词用句的多样性、准确性”来带大家突破!
其实,雅思口语的出色表达,除了日常大量积累,还可以使用一些套路,掌握一些“花式”短语表达,往往让你的口语更有层次感,更加出彩哟,最重要的是,还能拿高分!
Let's not waste any time and get started!
“I think”之外的“我认为”
1. As far as I’m concerned “据我所知;就我来看;我认为”
Eg:As far as I’m concerned, youth offenders should be punished by law. But .........
2.If I may say so “如果我能这么讲”“我认为”
Eg:You look much younger than your actual age if I may say so.
3. If you ask me“我认为,如果你问我”
Eg:Books are morebeneficial for children compared with computers if you ask me.
4. To my mind /In my opinion“在我心里,我认为”
Eg.But an honest question posed from a broken heart is to my mind a good andrighteous thing.
此外还可以用以下短语表达:As I see it —— 就我所知;As far as I know——就我所知;I’m convinced that——我相信……比如:“Global warming is a recent problem as far as I know.”
关于“喜好”
口语考试中避不开的话题就是“喜好”,假如考官问你:"Do you like swiming?"你难道只能回答"I like/love swimming"吗。。。。。感受一下高级玩法~
1. This appeals to me because……这对我很有吸引力,因为……(这样回答既表明你的态度,又阐述了喜爱的原因)比如:“swimming appeals to me because it's such a great way to relieve stress .”
2. “I am keen>“ I am keen to do something”......我对某事充满了热情
比如:“I was keen on going to the party but two centimeters of snow fell in London and trains didn't run."
同样地,如果你对某事并不热衷,使用" I am not keen on doing something."即可。
Asking for clarification
有时你没听清或听懂对方的话语,不用不好意思~你可以礼貌的请他再说一遍,解释一下,以下这三种表达方式都可以使用:
1. Sorry, I didn't quite catch that对不起, 我没听清楚
2. Could you say that again?你能再说一遍吗?
3. Could you explain what you mean by……?你能解释关于...... 的意思吗?
比如:“could you explain what you mean by bricks and mortar business?”
Providing clarification
如果你需要解释、澄清你的刚才说的话,以下三种方式都可以:
1. To put it another way 换一种方式说
2. What I'm trying to say is 我想说的是……
3. What I mean is 我的意思是……
比如:“What I'm trying to say is that maybe you can't approach this as a purely intellectual exercise.”
应对沉默
面对口语考官,如果你不知道该说什么,千万不要保持沉默!你可以说一些类似这样的话来缓解尴尬~
1. It's quite a difficult question这是一个相当困难的问题
2. That's a good question这是一个很好的问题
3. I've never thought about it before but I guess……之前我从来没有想过这个问题, 但我想……(在这之后你就得想到如何回答问题了)
同意某个观点
有时,考官会问你某个观点同意与否,假如同意,你可以这样回答:
1. I couldn't agree more——我非常赞同
2. I totally agree——我完全同意
3. Absolutely/Definitely——绝对,肯定
例如:"absolutely young people spend way too much time on social media."
4. I tend to agree(with) that "我倾向于同意……" (这是一种比较温和的同意形式)
5. It depends/I think it really depends“这取决于……”(这是一种更理性的回答)
表达不同意见
1. That’s one way of looking at it. However……
这是看问题的一种方式,然而......
2. That's not always true——事实并非总是如此
“some people say that getting education is the best way to prepare for the future, however that's not always true.
In some situations hands-on experience is much more valuable.”
应对其他情况
1. I've never really thought about it——我还真没想过……
当你遇到一个猝不及防、意想不到的问题,你就可以用这句话来缓冲,如下:
“Oh, what is your favorite wild animal?”“Well, I've never really thought about it but I'm quite fond of big cats. For example, Tigers and leopards.”
2. To sum up/To wrap up如果你想在考官终止你的回答之前主动结束对话,最好表示你马上就会回答完毕用” to sum up” 或者” to wrap up”即可
比如:" To wrap up I'm really fond of Miami because of its diversity and tropical climate."
