口语 SPEAKING
口语考试分为3个部分,分别是PART 1、PART 2、PART 3,难度依次递增。
PART 1与PART 3都是一问一答形式,PART 2是答题卡形式,需要自己陈述。
目标分数不是口语7分的同学,可以只把复习重点放到PART 1 和PART 2上。
中国区雅思考试口语成绩平均分为5.32分左右,是全球排名第二低的国家,
第一低的国家是伊拉克,如果口语考试的分数低于5.5分就拉低了全中国的平均值。
口语考试理论上对于中国学生(硬式教育)来说是最难的部分,
口语考试是外国考官与考生之间面对面、1v1的对话,整个过程会被录像&录音。
千万不要紧张,考试前可以心理暗示自己,自己是来聊天的,自己是来聊天的。
口语考试持续11-14分钟左右,是时间最短的雅思考试,共有3部分。
大家要在这么短的时间内表现出自己优异的语言能力。
语言能力越强的考生越在考试中多花时间,因为说得多。
哪怕你不会说也不要什么都不说,因为考官面对各式各样的人,
语言水平参差不齐,考官已经被折磨的不要不要的了,
所以,无论你怎么说,考官基本上都会听明白你要说的是什么。
口语考试中,无论你用的是英音还是美音都无所谓。
口语考试中,没有必要一定要根据考官的问题来作回答,
你可以有自己不一样的答案,考官可能问一个你不是很了解的领域,
你可以直截了当的回答他你不知道,但你要告诉他你为什么不知道。
例如:问你有没有最喜欢的老师?你可以回答没有,为什么没有呢?
因为我喜欢的老师都是美女,但我的老师们都是中年油腻大叔。。。
考官其实是不care你是有还是没有的,只要你能说出来理由就ok,
考官care的是你回答答案时所展现出来的强大的语言能力。
口语考试是语言能力展示,而并非结果本身,所以可以有范围的"胡说八道"。
说你会说的,而不是说你想说的,当然了,对于一些客观题就不要忽悠考官了。
例如:你本身很胖,考官问你做运动吗平时,你说你天天做运动。。。
当你回答不出来问题时,不妨换一种方式来说,
可以说一些其他的东西,甚至是一些废话,记住,
说废话也比什么都不说强,你就随便胡扯一点比你什么都不说都要好。
不要受困于考官的问题本身。
答案是不固定的,要说出适合自己的答案,
而不是去背所谓的模板。
此外,很多人都以为口语要找老外练习才会提高,
我觉得也没这个必要,像我们这样,去找老外练习口语,
还经常性的,根本不现实。其实,口语自己做些准备,照样也能拿高分。
口语主要是平时多积累口语素材、关键词等,然后连词成句。

口语评分标准
四项占比相同,分数是四项相加求平均分,口语与写作采用压分值。
四项打分时,是没有小数的,只有整数1-9。
考官从PART 1开始就对考生进行打分(除了自我介绍以外),
你一边在说,考官一边在打分,口语考试是唯一一个你还没走出考场,
分数就已经出来了的考试。
PART 1结束后,你有四项分数,之后再开始PART 2的推进,
PART 2结束后,你也有四项分数,之后是PART 3的推进,
PART 3结束后,会计算你这四项每一个项的平均分,
从而计算出你雅思口语的最后得分。
分数计算公式:
(6+6+5+5)/4 = 5.5分
(6+6+6+5)/4 = 5.75分 = 5.5分
(6+6+6+6)/4 = 6分
(6+6+6+7)/4 = 6.25分 = 6分
(6+6+7+7)/4 = 6.5分
可以看出雅思口语的6分也是比较难的,
因为要保证四项全是6才有可能是6,有一项是5,就死了。
在考试中考生难免会犯错,那犯错就要扣分,一类错误只扣一次,
第二次再犯的时候就不会扣分了,因此也不用去纠结这类错误了。
Fluency and Coherence(FC)
流利度与连贯性
语速快慢并不是衡量分数的标准,
但是否卡壳、是否有大面积的停顿,就是考核标准之一了。
不要大面积的停顿,尽量不要重复用词,要有自己的同义替换。
不要害羞,考生需要有一种意愿,愿意跟考官去交流,愿意多说,
要敢于表现,要非常有自信,要快速能热起来,
如果性格比较慢热,则会有弱势,
对方会感受到你说话的状态。
跟陌生人迅速嗨起来,会在英语口语中占优势,
说话的状态,让对方有感觉。
注重:微笑,眼神交流,肢体交流,说话有带动感。
很多词汇要判断在什么场景下使用,否则可能会引起考官不适。
尽可能的多说,不要一个问题只有一句话的回答这种。
词汇量太少了,会导致没词可用。
口语回答需要有逻辑性,而不是一锅粥,需要使用连词作为路标,
可以先给出一个综述句,然后2个理由,firstly,secondly,其中可能包含例子。
也可能对内容进行讨论与推测。
分数 | 评分标准 |
---|---|
7 | * 表达详尽,并无明显困难,或不失连贯; * 有时出现与语言相关的犹豫或出现重复及/或自我纠正; * 具有一定灵活性地使用一系列连接词和语篇标记; |
6 | * 表现出充分交流的意愿 ,但有时由于偶尔的重复、自我纠正或犹豫而缺乏连贯性; * 能使用一系列连接词及语篇标记 ,但无法保持一贯恰当; |
5 | * 通常能保持语流,但需通过重复、自我纠正及/或降低语速来维持表达 ; * 过度使用某些连接词及语篇标记; * 能用简单的语言进行流利的表达(句子长度比较短),但在进行更为复杂的交流时则表达不畅 ; |
Lexical Resource(LR)
词汇多样性,详见3.1.3章节。
分数 | 评分标准 |
---|---|
7 | * 灵活地使用词汇讨论各种话题; * 使用一些非常见的词汇及习语,对语体及词汇搭配有所认识,但有时词语选择不甚恰当; * 有效地进行改述; |
6 | * 有足以详尽讨论各种话题的词汇量,虽然有时使用不当但意思表达清晰; * 基本上能成功地进行改述; |
5 | * 能谈论熟悉或不熟悉的话题,但使用词汇的灵活性有限; * 尝试进行改述,但有时成功有时失败; |
Grammatical Range and Accuracy(GRA)
语法多样性及准确性,详见3.2章节。
口语中自己发现语法错误可以自行更正。
分数 | 评分标准 |
---|---|
7 | * 较灵活地使用一系列复杂的语法结构; * 虽然反复出现一些语法错误,但语句通常正确无误; |
6 | * 结合使用简单与复杂的句型,但灵活性有限; * 使用复杂结构时经常出现错误,尽管这些错误极少造成理解困难; |
5 | * 能使用基本的句型,且具有合理的准确性; * 使用有限的复杂句式结构,但通常会出错且会造成某些理解困难; |
Pronunciation
发音主要针对发音的准确性以及多样性进行考察,
其中包括每个音素的发音,单词与句子中的重读,吞音&连读等等,
发音不是口音,口音不准不是大问题,想想印度或日本的英语发音,
所以最重要的是你要敢说,说的连贯,不要停在那思考,争取跟老外说的越来越像。
语调要发生变化,不要一成不变,会误会成你在背诵文章,从而扣分。
不要说的太快,太快会导致发音不准从而扣分。
有关发音与音标的内容,请参考这篇文章:

5 | 表现出 4 分水平中所有积极表现,但也表现出 6 分水平中部分积极表现; |
[口语流程/口语题型]
PART 1
目标分数为5.5分的同学应该重点复习PART 1,
PART 1如果考生有一道题听不懂考官在说啥,那么分数肯定低于6分。
PART 1中考官不会对问题进行发散,因此PART 1的回答中可以举例子,
并不用担心例子中有很多词汇不会讲,但是到了PART 3就要小心了,
PART 3考官会问一些拓展性的问题。
Introduction(20-30s)
自我介绍,速度会很快,会被考官问到4个标准问题。
这4个问题主要是身份的检查,确认是否是你本人参加口语考试。
这个阶段不计分,主要是用于考官核实一下考生的身份。
1. Good [morning/afternoon]. My name is xxx.
[Can/Could] you tell me your full name, please?
- Good [morning/afternoon], [madam/sir],
My name is 中文名。
记住考官的名字
2. What [shall/can/may] I call you?
-You can call me 英文名.
3. [Can you tell me where you are from?/Where do you come from?]
- I come from ShenYang, Liaoning Province.
核对身份,与身份证上的一致即可,不用care户籍,不用发散细节。
如果考试地与身份证地址所在城市一致,则可以说"I'm local here."
4.Can I see your [identification/ID] card, please?
- Sure, [here you are/sure/OK]
把身份证递给考官
[Daily/General] Questions(4-5m)
从这部分开始,考官开始计分。
跟考官进行一问一答,考官会从题库中抽出3个Topic让考生回答,
每个Topic下有3-4个Question,共计会被问到9-12个左右的Question。
考官问的问题多与少是跟考生的语言水平直接挂钩的,考生的能力越强,
考官问的问题可能会越少,因为考生说的太多了,没时间问满问题了。
PART 1中考官主要询问考生自己相关的问题,
主要是问生活类的话题,包括衣食住行,类似于:
你喜欢什么电影啊?
你上一次旅行的经历?
你喜欢喝什么样的水?
你住什么样的房子?
你会省钱吗?
也可能会有很傻的问题,例如你多久看一次天啊?
一般问这种how often的问题,都会给一个大致的频率,需要使用频率副词。
一般前置修饰的程度副词:
often、sometimes、always、much、seldom、never、hardly ever。
一般后置修饰的程度副词:
a lot、quite a lot、(not) very much、often、(not) very often、quite often、sometimes、much、not very、all the time。

考生没有办法熟悉所有的话题,
但即使是不熟悉的话题也可以展现其强大的语言实力,

因此对自己不熟悉的话题的临场应变能力也是很有必要去练习的。
Gift

that's the most important thing.

I think the most effiective way to learn new language is to put yourself in a culture first.
You have to understand the way people think and try to imitate the xx as justers,
try to be local ideas.
I think it's important
PART 2 + PART 3
PART 2主要用于考官检测考生是否可以自己讲的很久,
目标分数为6.0-6.5分的同学应该重点复习PART 2,
PART 1结束后,考官一般会说四句话作为PART 1与PART 2的过渡。
Now I'm going to give you a topic card,
and I'd like you to talk about this topic for one to two minutes.
Before start to talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you are going to say.
You can make some notes if you wish on the paper.
Do you understand?
-Yes I do(点头)
要与考官有互动,之后PART 2才会继续往下推进,之后考官会把话题卡给你。
Describing a Topic Card(3-4m)
考官会从66-68张话题卡中抽一张递给到考生,
接着,考生有1分钟的准备时间,
准备时间结束后,考生开始自己在考官面前做一个小演讲,
持续1-2分钟。
准备的过程中尽量不要发出任何声音,因为是全程录音状态。
话题卡分四类:
人物(最简单)、事件、地点、物品。
话题卡的格式如下:
Talk about a subject
you are studying.
You should say:
what subject
you are studying
what the subject
is about
how
you feel about it
and explain why
you are interested in it.
我们可以看到,话题卡中会有4个答题提示,
这4个答题提示一定都要说到,
漏答的话会被扣分,低分段同学可以按照顺序说,
高分段同学可以乱序。
不要仅仅只回答那4个提示,要有自己的发散思维,联想到其他的point,
还需要有逻辑上的衔接,需要使用一些逻辑连接词,切记不要逻辑凌乱。
如果仅仅只是回答4个提示的话,每个提示只说1-2句话,那么说满一分钟都难。
我们需要快速的找到话题卡中的关键词,如上面的红色部分,
在准备阶段快速地把每个关键词进行一些延展,快速扩充几句话,可以举一些例子。
考生有1分钟的准备时间,有笔和草稿纸,
可以把若干关键词(名、动)、短语简写在草稿纸上,
千万不要写整句、长句,因为时间非常有限,
只写短小精悍的提示词即可。
这张纸在口语陈述的时候是可以看的,
在陈述结束前不会被收走。
考官有计时器,1分钟时间到了之后,考官会说一句话提示你可以开始了。
Could you start speaking now, please?
无论是否准备完,都必须开始说,不能让考官再等一会。
之后考生开始1-2分钟的持续性的英语陈述。
如果能讲满2分钟,内容等同于一篇200字左右的大作文。
考试如果想拿到口语6分及6分以上,至少要说满2分钟,
如果发现没有说满2分钟,那分数肯定是6分以下。
最好说到考官让你停为止,不建议自己主动喊停。
比如,让你描述你去过的一个地方,
让你描述一次你被骗的经历,
让你描述一次投诉的经历,等等等等。
PART 2是需要背诵部分语料的,话题卡的数量非常多,
考生无法全部背下来答案,因此高效的方法是只记录每个话题卡的关键词,
如果正好遇到了背过了100遍的话题卡,需要演技,不要让考官发现你是在背。
PART 2有点像做演讲,回答的开头一般需要有引题句,例如:
I’m going to talk about …
例如:
前面说跟谁在一起做什么,后面直接甩原因有些太突兀可以使用一些承上启下的句子,增强逻辑感。
我喜欢什么什么
I [like/enjoy] xxx for a few reasons,
First/Firstly
Second/Secondly
[Meanwhile/Besides/In other words](换句话说)
Finally
Two-way Discussion(4-5m)
PART2结束后,考官一般会说一句话作为PART 2与PART 3的过渡:
You've been talking about xxx and now I'm going to ask you more general questions related to this topic.
目标分数为7分及以上的的同学应该重点复习PART 3。
PART 3也是最能拉开分数的部分。
考官如果发现你没有什么7分以及7分以上潜质的话,
在PART 3不会对你特别苛刻。
目标分数不在7的考生只需要听懂题+对于考官的问题回复1-3句话,
代表自己的观点,不要出大面积的语法错误即可,
这样分数会维持在PART 2的分数。
PART 3部分,让你不加思索的回答考官的问题是比较难的,
用中文说都有思路问题,更别提用英文说了。
考官会根据PART 2的内容进行一些延伸和抽象,
接着问考生问题,与考生一起讨论。
一般都是与PART 2有关联的问题,
会更加的客观、宽泛、抽象、有深度。
PART 3的随机性和灵活性非常强,
几乎没有题库,没有什么规律,需要现场发挥,
很多都是社会类、ZF类、民生类的问题,
如果需要举例子的话尽量不要举自己身上的例子,
因为PART 3是更广泛的社会问题,自己仅仅只是一个个例而已。
PART 3与PART 1都是一问一答的方式,但区别在哪里?
PART 1主要是考官问考生关于考生自己的问题,
PART 3主要是问考生对这个社会与世界的认知,
并不是"我怎么怎么样",而是"谁谁谁怎么怎么样",
需要有条理性,分层分类。
例如:PART 2选的是投诉,PART 3可能是
在中国是男生喜欢投诉还是女生喜欢投诉?
是老人喜欢投诉还是孩子喜欢投诉?
中国需要设立投诉部门吗?
PART 3的回答需要注重:因果、对比、例子。
In my view, there are several differences …
I’m not sure I agree with that, you see …
I think we’ll probably see a lot of …
Maybe there will be more …
It’s unlikely that we will have …
PART 3结束后,考官一般会站起来说:
Thank you so much for your examination time. Bye, have a nice day.
你可以回答:“you too”。
常见话题
有一些话题卡的素材可以共用,融会贯通一下,
PART 2有些地方与写作考试中的大作文有相似之处。
PART 2中的开头段一般由下面2句话开始,
先说Speaking of this topic …或Today I’m gonna talking about …
PART 2中的结尾段一般均为总结性的一句话,可以横向复用,套路如下:
【Summary 总结】
[In a word/To summarize], __ (1) __ not only because (of)
__ (2) __ but also because (of)
__ (3) __ .
一般将话题的[核心思想/主旨句]放到第1处,例如:
I would like to meet her …
I felt happy about this …
I’d like to buy it …
It impresses me …
之后将主体段中提到过的若干方面中的任意2个方面,
作为总结性的[词汇&短语]放到第2、3处即可。
because of 接名词性短语,because 接句子。
人物类(简单、低频)
人物题的出题概率较低,人物类的口语素材可以互相平移,
如果讲世界名人的话要小心,因为考官也许知道这个人,
会很敏感的知道你说的内容是否准确,
如果不是世界名人,那就可以胡编乱造,
只要用词准确即可。
如果是名人,不要说宗教类或类似于川普这样的人物,
因为你不知道考官的立场,可能会得罪考官,
不要聊敏感话题。
答题结构:
1.引入
开头句,简单一句话,不用花很多心思,告诉考官who,这个人是谁。
Speaking of this topic, I want to talk about ___ (人物) who is ___ (职业).
2.外部
appearance外貌,使用"总-分"结构。
"总"表示这个人整体上的模样,是否好看,多高多重,身材怎么样啊等等,

“总”(相貌+身高+身材)
As for appearance, Liu Wen is a gorgeous woman who’s almost 178cm high with a hot and slender [body/figure] .
“分”(脸型+发型+其他特征+主观感受)
客观描述之后再加上一些主观判断,给考官的感觉是有感情的语言、是由变换梯度的,
有层次感,否则只是流水账,考官是听不下去的。
[To be specific/specifically], [he/she] has a __ (1) __ face with __ (2) __ hair. What [attracts/impresses] me about [him/her] is that __ (3) __ .
face与hair可以换成其他想说的语料,例如nose之类的。

She always has a pair of deep dimples when she wears a big smile
, showing her kindness to others.
Although she’s got some lines on her forehead, she still looks attractive.

She has been nominated and awarded numerous honors over the past few years.
nominated
提名
还可以使用examples事例证明&成就&成绩+feelings感受。
3.3影响-influences(名人)
使用一些名人名言更有影响力,但尽量找考官不知道的那种不是特别有名的人。
__ (1) __ can always send positive messages to her [audience/fans]. the most impressive sentence he/she said in this news was that __ (2) __ and I have to say it inspires me a lot.
第1处名词,可以是一个人,也可以是一本书、一部电影,可以用于其他主题。

But she was also strict.
I mean on the first day she took out this old fashioned strap and banged it on the desk and we all got such a fright,
but she was just rying to show us she was in control.
She wasn't really that scary although she was quite short and she spoke in a loud voice.
Everybody called her Mrs.T. She taught us for every subject, so she taught us English, maths, writing, and actually I can't remember what else!
I guess what I used to enjoy most about her classes was her personality and the fact that she cared about all of her students,
even the naughty ones.
I remeber her dughter lived in America and she used to send over American sweets and chewing gum for Mrs. T to give to the good students.
All the students tried to be really good to get that reward!
I particularly remember my teacher, Mrs.T,

Describe an advertisement you remember well.
You should say:
where you saw it or heard it
what kind of advertisement it was
what the contents of the advertisement were
And explain why you remember it well.
(6.5分)
- Well, the most impressive advertisement is absolutely the one released by Apple decades ago.
As a matter of fact,
it was not targeting at a certain product but a key concept of Apple,
the company and its culture.
I was firstly attracted to it years ago cuz it got millions of “thumb-up”s on Youtube,
you know, the video website.
It was more like a documentary rather than a commercial,
and when I clicked in, my world was rocked!
This one-minute ad featured black-and-white footage of 17 iconic 20th century personalities,
including Albert Einstein, BobDylan,
Martin Luther King, John Lenon, Pablo Picasso, etc.
Eventually, it ended with an image of a young girl opening her closed eyes, as if making a wish.
As the video was aired,
you can also hear the lines going,
honestly I can’t remember every single word of it, but, it was like : “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently --they're not fond of rules...
You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them,
but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they changethings...
they push the human race forward,
and while some may see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think thatthey can change the world,
are the ones who do.”
see? you know what I mean, a real thought-provoking ad!
I can still remember that I thought it should be "differently" instead of "different", so I googled it, it turn out that Steve Jobs has got his own explanation.
This is exactly “think different” !
I really like this advertisement, it is a masterpiece, for its design, it creativity, also, for the ones who “think different”!

- Today I'm gonna talking about my favorite sport which is kind of exciting, challenging and dangerous.
Skiing is truly a brave guy's game because players get hurts easily.
We have a skiing group so we usually have fun together in the ski-resort located in Hebei province at the weekends or on the holidays.
I enjoy going skiing for various reasons. Normally I'm occupied with daily issues. Then skiing offers a golden opportunity to eliminate pressure.
Besides, it's a good chance to recognise new friends which means improve my social life.
What's more, one of the main benefits of skiing is that we can jump or do some kinds of moving actions if we like, it was like break the rules, that's the amazing part, pretty cool, right?
Another thing I learn from skiing is that it enhances my tolerance for cold.
So basically skiing enriches my life, so that's the reason why I love this sport so badly.

I'm going to talk about the time when I went to the second highest restaurant in Beijing with my dream girl.
She was my co-worker and I used to sit next to her, coz we have a lot in common, so we have become the best companions for hanging out.
It happened in the last winter I could still remember that it was on a Saturday evening, after the skiing I just asked her whether she would like to have dinner with me, then she said of course, why not.
The restaurant is on the top floor of a 80-storey building which is square-shaped and wrapped in glass on all sides.
When we step into the restaurant, it’s kind of dim. It's decorated in a western style with gorgeous wall papers and French windows.
It offers a great selection of dishes such as Chinese food, Western Food, Japanese Food and Western Food is the restaurant's specialty which is also my favourite. I can't really remember what we else ate, but the seafood was tasty. Oh, by the way, we ordered a bottle of France wine also.
The waiters are considerate and enthusiastic, which makes us feel like eating at home.
I can hear the classic background music and there's a faint fragrance lingering in the restaurant.
We spent hours at the restaurant, talking, eating and laughing, we all shared our stories together and wished us good luck for the future.
We really had a great time, it was like a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
In a word, I felt unforgettable about this special meal not only because of my dream girl, but also because of the high price.
追问:
- Do you think having dinner at home is a good idea?
I don't think so. I prefer eating in restaurants to eating at home,
because you don't have to do the dishes afterwards.
- Do young people like to spend time with their families or friends?
- What do you think are the benefits of having dinner together?
- Do you think people are less willing to cook meals by themselves these days, compare to the past?
- Describe an important festival in your country
You should say:
when it is
who you celebrate with
what People do during this festival
and explain why this festival is important.
口语一问一答策略
PART 1与PART 3都是一问一答的形式,考生几乎没有任何的思考时间,
考生对于每个问题的回答时间是在8-23秒。
我们对回答句数需要有把控。
5.5分:2-3句
6.0分:3句左右
6.5分:3-5话
一般来说PART 1用3句左右,PART 3用3-5句左右。
其次,我们要注重答题结构(有逻辑+有长度)
一般我们用[直接答案]+[拓展]的形式回答问题。
direct answer + (reasons + examples + details)
给出直接答案
注意不要跑题:不需要抛砖引玉,直接正面给出答案,
PART 1与PART 3都是开门见山,不要绕弯子,并不是越长越好,可能会言多必失。
注意题型,回答时不能一概而论:
一般疑问句:要用yes/no来回答;
特殊疑问句:不能用yes/no来回答;
选择疑问句:从A/B中选一个;(如果使用prefer提问,那么要用prefer回答)
例如:问同学你经常运动吗?
问你运动,你就回答运动,考官要考察在运动话题下你的语言能力,
你可以说你不喜欢运动,但要说明原因。
跑题回答:不,我不喜欢运动,我喜欢玩电脑游戏,我觉得玩游戏很有趣。
不跑题回答:不,我不喜欢运动,因为运动太累了。
如果没有听懂考官说的问题,而不是单纯的重复一遍,可以使用:
Could you paraphrase, please?
(全场最多用2次)
paraphrase [ˈpærəfreɪz]
v,释义、解释
如果只是单纯的重复,可以用:
Pardon?
Sorry?
Could you repeat that please?
Sorry, I didn’t hear you. Could you repeat the question?
拓展
拓展句子的三个方法Reasons + Examples + Details
(RED原则):原因,例子,细节。
思考做这件事的原因,举例子,细节,
不一定这三项每个都能说出来,想起哪个说哪个,切记要有逻辑的融合在一起,
最好是原因+例子,或者原因+细节。
原因
我为什么要考雅思?因为我要出国深造。
我为什么要玩游戏?因为我学累了可以释放压力。
需要向考官展现你的逻辑能力,包括句子的衔接和连贯性。
because + 句子
because of + 名词性短语
since …
for …
as …
coz(只用于口语,because的缩写)
The main reason is that … (表语从句)
The reason why … is that … (定语从句嵌套表语从句)
举例子
我喜欢在家里呆着,因为在家里我可以做一些自己喜欢做的事情,例如:
看书、看电影、玩游戏等等,这里主要展现词汇能力,没有什么句子逻辑。
举例子的时候一般说说两句话,第一句是废话,第二句开始真正举例子,
2-3个例子就可以了。
我喜欢看各种各样的书,尤其是什么什么什么
I really like watching TV Programs.
especially American Drama.
Such as 《West World》、《Prison Break》、or something like that.

口语技巧
雅思口语题库
雅思口语考试在每年的1、5、9月会进行换题,换题后,
当季的口语试题不会发生变化,这样就会存在1-4、5-8、9-12的题库。
考生需要去下载相应的口语考试题库,
PART 1与PART 2会从题库中抽题来考试。
考生在参加口语考试前必须把当季的题库多刷两遍,
尽量不要临场发挥。
换题库只针对雅思口语考试,其他考试是每次都换。
每次换题都会删掉一些老旧的话题(30%左右),
补充一些新的话题进来。
就算是1、5、9三个换题月的第一场考试,
看上一季的老题库很有必要,
毕竟有60%左右的题是老题。
并且掌握了一些技巧和方法之后,很多东西可以平移过来,
不在乎是否是换题月考试。
口语搜索公众号:“北京新东方雅思”,
下面有免费的题库和学习资料,把pdf打印出来。
如何备考口语考试
雅思口语考试是必须要备考的科目,因为如果没有准备,
你很可能根本回答不上来考官问你的问题,或者回答的非常蹩脚。
所以考口语之前,一定要确定以及肯定自己已经准备好了,再去考。
不要抱有侥幸心理觉得这次题可能简单,近期的雅思考试的难度都差不多。
考试前需要把雅思口语题库和机经多看2遍,确保题干中没有生词。
首先一定要每天背口语素材,
像一些口语场景词汇、固定搭配等等。
背诵结束后,需要自己对着镜子练习,
自己能通过镜子观察出自己的状态。
有条件可以找一个partner,或者说给你的朋友,你的家人,
这样会让你更有自信,说话的聆听性会有很大改观。
没有条件也可以拿一面镜子,
自问自答,可以看出来自己的状态好不好,
要录音,录音会提升自我认知能力,可以听到自己哪里说得好,
哪里说得不好,听出来连贯性,久而久之会提升自信心。
在练习口语的过程中,遇到生词不要想着查字典,
因为考试中不会让你查字典,
此外也培养一下对于[替换/猜测]生词含义的技能,
等到听录音的时候再把生词补充起来。
尽量去模仿native-speaker的发音。
以话题为单位,每天练一个单元。
口语需要定时定量练习,每天至少1小时,每周休息1-2天,
休息的2天不要挨在一起,隔着的远一点,
连续两天不说的话,就会水平降低的很快。
如果觉得自己的口语已经练的还可以了,
需要付费去找专业的老师模考或做练习,也可以用官方口语服务
专业老师会找出自己的不足之处。
也许你觉得自己说的挺好,但其实还是万年5.5的范畴,
这样在没有专业老师指导的前提下是没办法量变引起质变的。
如果条件允许避开换题月的月初,对考生的影响可能会越多,
可能会加入新话题。因为有些新题是题库中没有的。
1-2月:题目以新话题为主,老话题为辅;
3-4月:新旧各占50%;
练发音的性价比是比较低的,不要太纠结自己的发音,
尽量不要紧张,不用背很难的口语单词,
口语考官不喜欢你重复考官的问题,可以做一些同义替换。
一篇范文可以对应很多种口语题,
例如:“我和汤姆在海滩上吃BBQ。”
不要把雅思写作的开头段放在口语考试中,很突兀。
在考试中,动词和形容词相对而言更重要一些。
人物类,准备2个:名人,周围的人,有个性的人,
也可以说一些缺点,变更一些。
地点类,准备2个:室内,室外。
跟以前的语料可以扩充,有的可以互通。
与口语考官的交流
雅思四门考试中,只有雅思口语才有考官,
考官一般是英联邦国家的歪果仁,有老头老太太,也有小哥哥小姐姐。
有的时候可能考官的脾气性格有点奇怪,
又或者是考官状态不好,心情不好,家里有事或是怎样,
也有喜欢打断人的考官,会动不动问why,
无论如何,请不要被考官的状态影响到,即使他们的状态不好,
但你的状态好,分数依然是公平公正的。
考试的时候要有表情,肢体和面部都要,要有表达的张力
,
考官不会主动向你示好,只有你自己先做到了,
考官才会跟你互动得更多,也就意味着他会给你高分。
刚进考场,微笑、自信请不要忘了。
因为第一印象会无形中影响考官的评分标准。
当然,也请尊重考官,不要一副不屑的样子。
讲的时候,多看看考官的眼睛,就像我们平常和朋友交流一样,
你越是开心、放松的和他聊,你的分数就就不会低。
习惯用语 Idiomatic Vocabulary
成语or谚语,需要使用一些习语
适当的使用一些习语会让考官眼前一亮,
习语是不用考虑语法规则的。
习语稍微用一点就行,不用太多,否则不符合老外的表达习惯。
She’s a couch potato.
宅男/女(但这种说法过时了)
mouse potato.
宅男/女(没过时)
He’s a people person.
有社交能力的人。
people = sociable.
I decide to have some fun and let my hair down.
let one’s hair down
放松
grab a coffee
喝咖啡,coffee是不可数名词理论上不能加a,
但可以用于习惯表达,不要直译。
此外在口语中也可以用have a coffee 或have a tea,
此处省却了cup of,正常应该是have a cup of [coffee/tea]。
seldom, rarely -> once in a bule moon.
月全食也叫蓝月,发生频率非常小
I use perfume once in a bule moon.
善用频率副词
考官使用How often …提问时,例如;
How often do you buy shoes online?
不要真的说你一个月买一次或一年买三次,
而是使用频率副词,例如:
I never buy shoes online, because there are many fake shoes online.
Do you often write with a pen?
-I rarely wirte with a pen but
I often type with my laptop.
口语禁忌
禁用of course
回答考官问题的时候,不要说of course。
这样会显得考官的问题特别傻。
废话!这还用问吗?你是白痴吗???
of course表示一种常识性的东西,
大家都知道的问题。
例如:地球绕着太阳转吗?
of course!
慎用would like
在提问时没有使用would you like时,
不能使用I would like回答。
不要"那个"、"这个"
中国考生喜欢犹豫,在紧张的时候就喜欢说"那个那个",
这个发音就是黑鬼的意思,千万不要说,
可以用一些英文的方式(口头语、口水词),例如:
oh, well, actually, basically, how to say, you know, I mean, [to be honest/honestly], literally.
这些词几乎没有任何含义,不用去翻译。
评分标准中需要使用一些语气助词(discourse markers)。
