很多“烤鴨”都覺(jué)得雅思口語(yǔ)是個(gè)特別碰運(yùn)氣的考試。假如遇到“笑瞇瞇”的帥哥考官,那估計(jì)7分沒(méi)跑了,如果遇到不茍言笑的大叔,只能說(shuō)運(yùn)氣衰暴了,如果碰到一臉傲嬌的老太太。。。親,咱別逗了,5.5分沒(méi)跑了,還是回去默默再報(bào)一場(chǎng),祈禱下次考口語(yǔ)時(shí)能夠遇到一位友善仁慈的考官。
當(dāng)然,以上的“考官論“并沒(méi)有一定的科學(xué)依據(jù),一來(lái),從小到大我們都被教育不能以貌取人,洋氣點(diǎn)的說(shuō)法是“don’ t judge a book by its cover.”你咋就知道樂(lè)呵呵的考官一定會(huì)給高分?說(shuō)不定人家只是皮笑肉不笑,內(nèi)心早已呵呵噠發(fā)了滿屏的彈幕吐槽;二來(lái),雅思口語(yǔ)有公開的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)還是比較客觀的。假如考生自身實(shí)力到達(dá)7分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),出來(lái)的成績(jī)并不會(huì)浮動(dòng)很大。
那么,所謂的高分口語(yǔ)表達(dá)和低分表達(dá)的差距在哪里呢?現(xiàn)在就跟著小編來(lái)看看吧~
總體而言,8分口語(yǔ)和6分口語(yǔ)間最大的區(qū)別在于以下三點(diǎn):
1、The high level answers are a more natural style.
這點(diǎn)指,高分答案往往用一種更口語(yǔ)化,更像Native Speaker的表達(dá)。
2、The high level answers use more linking phrases.
雖說(shuō)口語(yǔ)沒(méi)有答偏題這一說(shuō),但是語(yǔ)句中的邏輯性還是需要的。太過(guò)混亂的邏輯會(huì)讓考官聽不明白你到底在說(shuō)什么。因而,連接詞的使用很重要。
3、The high level answers are more detailed when describing or explaining something, (using reasons / examples / comparisons).
高分的答案更具體,更詳細(xì),不抽象。小伙伴們完全可以用舉栗子或者用對(duì)比這種簡(jiǎn)單的手法,來(lái)給自己的口語(yǔ)表達(dá)添色。
Question 1: Do you like your university?
6分表達(dá): Yes. My teachers are very good and I have lots of friends there.
點(diǎn)評(píng):這是個(gè)典型的6分答案,無(wú)功無(wú)過(guò)。雖然把問(wèn)題講清楚了,但用詞和語(yǔ)句都太過(guò)簡(jiǎn)單,回答不夠有力,很難拿高分。而且,你確定2句話就把它打發(fā)了??
8分表達(dá): Yes I do. I think my university's great, because I mean, firstly, the teachers there are all really good, you know, I've learnt a huge amount from them. And another thing I really like about my university is the friends I've made there.
點(diǎn)評(píng):類似于I mean, you know 這類是比較native的口頭表達(dá),并不難學(xué)。但是烤鴨們要切記,一定不能用過(guò)量。簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的去剖析細(xì)節(jié),分?jǐn)?shù)就比籠統(tǒng)的一句話來(lái)的漂亮。
Question 2: How often do you watch TV?
6分表達(dá): Not often, because I prefer using the Internet.
點(diǎn)評(píng):這個(gè)答案相較于上一題的回答有進(jìn)步,但依然不足。好的是,后面加來(lái)一句I prefer,并沒(méi)有單單說(shuō)一個(gè)Not often。不足的是,對(duì)于Part 1而言,這類問(wèn)題的回答仍是太過(guò)簡(jiǎn)短。建議3-4句話為佳。
8分表達(dá): Not that often actually. I mean, I probably only watch it about two or three times a week, basically because I prefer watching stuff on the Internet.
點(diǎn)評(píng):actually,這一個(gè)詞的使用是較為地道的表達(dá)。相信大家日常跟local聊天的時(shí)候,可以發(fā)現(xiàn),他們時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都喜歡把xxxx actually掛在嘴邊,我們也可以學(xué)起來(lái)。另外,two or three times a week是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié),補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明之前的not often究竟是一周幾次。Prefer watching stuff on the Internet又是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié),說(shuō)明自己不??措娨暤脑?。
Question 3:Do you prefer eating at home or eating in a restaurant?
6分表達(dá): I prefer eating at home because it's healthier than eating out.
點(diǎn)評(píng):很好,給出了原因,比question 2又一進(jìn)步了一點(diǎn)。但是小編建議,可以再往深處挖一點(diǎn)點(diǎn),再加一點(diǎn)口語(yǔ)化的詞匯,例如Simply Because這類詞組,才能給考官一個(gè)給你高分的理由 <( ̄︶ ̄)>
8分表達(dá): I'd say I generally prefer eating at home, simply because the food I eat at home is a lot healthier than the food you get in most restaurants.
點(diǎn)評(píng):是不是覺(jué)得很native~ I’d say,simply because大家可以學(xué)著用起來(lái),the food I eat at home is a lot healthier,解釋了前文所說(shuō)的為什么喜歡在家里吃飯的原因,比較級(jí)的運(yùn)用可以算是小小地show off一下喲~
Question 4:When was the last time you received a gift?
6分表達(dá): About five weeks ago.
點(diǎn)評(píng):不用小編說(shuō),大家也能意識(shí)到這個(gè)回答太過(guò)簡(jiǎn)短了吧?口語(yǔ)是一個(gè)communication的過(guò)程,就算咱是有啥答啥的實(shí)在人,也千萬(wàn)不要用這種answer來(lái)敷衍考官。
8分表達(dá): Let me have a little think, um…… I suppose it must have been about five or six weeks ago, and it was some chocolate that a friend of mine gave me when he came over to my home for dinner (coz my friends all know that I'm a bit of a chocoholic!)
點(diǎn)評(píng):這就迎來(lái)了這么一個(gè)問(wèn)題,假如遇到不會(huì)答的問(wèn)題怎么辦?切記切記,雅思口語(yǔ)考試其實(shí)也是一個(gè)交流的過(guò)程,考官不一定期望你知道所有問(wèn)題的答案,但一定expect你有response。Let me have a little think……I suppose……這就是非常好的開頭。Must have been是紅果果的show off有木有~后面的例子豐富了答案,增加可信度。
Question 5: Would you like to move to another city in the future?
6分表達(dá): No, because I love my hometown.
點(diǎn)評(píng):如此的答案,未免令人有一種此考生異常 “冷艷”,“無(wú)法深入交流”的錯(cuò)覺(jué)。如此簡(jiǎn)短的句子如何能展示你的口語(yǔ)能力,讓考官心服口服給你個(gè)高分?
8分表達(dá): No I wouldn't, the main reason being that I love my hometown, so if I moved somewhere else, I'm sure I wouldn't be as happy as I am living here.
點(diǎn)評(píng):同樣是歌頌家鄉(xiāng)好,話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),在這個(gè)表達(dá)中就柔和了許多。虛擬語(yǔ)氣的運(yùn)用顯示出了較好的語(yǔ)言功底。小編再次重申,理由(reasons)和例子(examples)在口語(yǔ)中是非常非常重要的得分點(diǎn)?。?!
Question 6: Can you describe your home a little?
6分表達(dá): My home is big, for example we have a big living room. And um……We also have a good view because our flat is very high.
點(diǎn)評(píng): 其實(shí)這個(gè)答案并不會(huì)得很低分。一般想要6分的同學(xué)完全可以這樣說(shuō)。對(duì)于想要7分甚至于是更高的烤鴨們而言,切記切記,一定要explain more!
8分表達(dá): Yeah, sure. Well first of all, it's pretty big. For example, the living room is about three or four times the size of this room. And, um…what else… oh yeah, and another thing to mention is the view, because we live quite high up, on the twentieth floor, so we've got a really nice view of the city centre.
點(diǎn)評(píng):在考試的高壓下假如能說(shuō)出這樣的答案,那么7分妥妥的。對(duì)于家的描述可以說(shuō)是雅思的經(jīng)典題型,其變體的出現(xiàn)頻率非常高,但烤鴨們要回答得好還是有點(diǎn)難度的,因?yàn)榭芍v的東西有很多,稍不留神就會(huì)顯得messy。這個(gè)回答中,告訴了考官房間的大小(three or four times the size of this room),樓層的高低。全篇都是細(xì)節(jié),非常符合高分的三大準(zhǔn)則。
好了,看了以上那么多例子,小伙伴們是不是都大概了解高低分表達(dá)分別長(zhǎng)什么樣子了呢?所謂對(duì)比出真知,咱們不斷地優(yōu)化自己的表達(dá),完善自己的交流,離咱們的goal就不遠(yuǎn)啦?。。?/p>
