雅思的同學都了解,雅思口語評分標準主要分四個部分:發音流利性與連貫性、詞匯多樣性、語法多樣性與準確性。
但實際情況是“大道理我都懂,卻依然拿不到口語高分”
說白了就是:
1、口語表達不流暢,說詞說句經常卡殼
2、發音不標準
3、中式思維影響,用詞不準確,表達方式不地道
4、邏輯性不強,容易離題
想要在雅思口語口試中表現優異,必須先認清自身在口語上所存在的問題,對癥下藥,各個擊破才能脫穎而出。今天小雅學姐主要從“用詞用句的多樣性、準確性”來帶大家突破!
其實,雅思口語的出色表達,除了日常大量積累,還可以使用一些套路,掌握一些“花式”短語表達,往往讓你的口語更有層次感,更加出彩喲,最重要的是,還能拿高分!
Let's not waste any time and get started!
“I think”之外的“我認為”
1. As far as I’m concerned “據我所知;就我來看;我認為”
Eg:As far as I’m concerned, youth offenders should be punished by law. But .........
2.If I may say so “如果我能這么講”“我認為”
Eg:You look much younger than your actual age if I may say so.
3. If you ask me“我認為,如果你問我”
Eg:Books are morebeneficial for children compared with computers if you ask me.
4. To my mind /In my opinion“在我心里,我認為”
Eg.But an honest question posed from a broken heart is to my mind a good andrighteous thing.
此外還可以用以下短語表達: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.”
關于“喜好”
口語考試中避不開的話題就是“喜好”,假如考官問你:"Do you like swiming?"你難道只能回答"I like/love swimming"嗎。。。。。感受一下高級玩法~
1. This appeals to me because……這對我很有吸引力,因為……(這樣回答既表明你的態度,又闡述了喜愛的原因)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”......我對某事充滿了熱情
比如:“I was keen on going to the party but two centimeters of snow fell in London and trains didn't run."
同樣地,如果你對某事并不熱衷,使用" I am not keen on doing something."即可。
Asking for clarification
有時你沒聽清或聽懂對方的話語,不用不好意思~你可以禮貌的請他再說一遍,解釋一下,以下這三種表達方式都可以使用:
1. Sorry, I didn't quite catch that對不起, 我沒聽清楚
2. Could you say that again?你能再說一遍嗎?
3. Could you explain what you mean by……?你能解釋關于...... 的意思嗎?
比如:“could you explain what you mean by bricks and mortar business?”
Providing clarification
如果你需要解釋、澄清你的剛才說的話,以下三種方式都可以:
1. To put it another way 換一種方式說
2. What I'm trying to say is 我想說的是……
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.”
應對沉默
面對口語考官,如果你不知道該說什么,千萬不要保持沉默!你可以說一些類似這樣的話來緩解尷尬~
1. It's quite a difficult question這是一個相當困難的問題
2. That's a good question這是一個很好的問題
3. I've never thought about it before but I guess……之前我從來沒有想過這個問題, 但我想……(在這之后你就得想到如何回答問題了)
同意某個觀點
有時,考官會問你某個觀點同意與否,假如同意,你可以這樣回答:
1. I couldn't agree more——我非常贊同
2. I totally agree——我完全同意
3. Absolutely/Definitely——絕對,肯定
例如:"absolutely young people spend way too much time on social media."
4. I tend to agree(with) that "我傾向于同意……" (這是一種比較溫和的同意形式)
5. It depends/I think it really depends“這取決于……”(這是一種更理性的回答)
表達不同意見
1. That’s one way of looking at it. However……
這是看問題的一種方式,然而......
2. That's not always true——事實并非總是如此
“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.”
應對其他情況
1. I've never really thought about it——我還真沒想過……
當你遇到一個猝不及防、意想不到的問題,你就可以用這句話來緩沖,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如果你想在考官終止你的回答之前主動結束對話,最好表示你馬上就會回答完畢用” 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."
