雅思口语主要分为三个部分。第一部分为日常对话,需要考生按照考官提出的相关问题进行基本回答,题量为8到10题。虽说是基本问题的回答,但是由于话题题库大,很多考生很难预测到可能考到的话题,遇到不会的话题时,就不知道如何进行作答了。为了保证基本的回答,就只能随意回答个人情感,如I feel relaxed; It makes me refreshed等等短语充数。更有学生觉得中文尚且很难说清楚,更不用说是英语这种第二语言的表达了。因此,在短短的十分钟考试中,虽然很多同学最最不怕的是第一部分,殊不知,第一部分的回答很大程度上决定了考官对考生初步词汇量和表达连贯性的基本印象,对整个考试的打分也是相当重要的。
如何打开话匣子,用更丰富的词汇在考试之初进行自我展示呢?朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师将向大家推荐3种具体回答的方法,帮助大家打开口语话匣子,进行更丰富的表达。
具体回答方式一:话题点分别表达
很多话题中包含两个话题点,当遇到这类话题的时候,考生通常选择比较片面的回答。如Do you like to watch sports on TV? 考生则往往侧重于sports而非TV进行回答--No, not really. I do not like sports. Instead of sports, I like reading. I am interested in comic books, which own loads of pictures. 这样的回答看似完整,其实已经跑题了。话题变成了谈论兴趣爱好。虽然连贯性仍旧很好,但是考官可能就一头雾水了。
这里,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师推荐大家使用话题点的分类表达,保证自己回答的话题中心准确,并且能够针对具体点增加具体性。
Do you like to watch sports on TV?
No, not really. I am interested in various kinds of sports. However,I am fond of doing sports like jogging by myself instead of watching TV. When it comes to TV, I seldom watch it, let alone watching sports programs on TV.
按照以上这样先对体育进行回答,进而回答电视,就可以进行更有理据的表达了。
具体回答方式二:抽象词具体化
面对抽象问题,如果考生同样用抽象的方法进行回答,这样不仅不能够把问题表达清楚,同样的,考生也会感觉自己能够说的点少之又少。但是如果能够把抽象问题具体的分类进行表达的话,话匣子自然而然就可以打开了。如What do you do in your spare time? 什么是spare time,如果笼统的回答的话,可能就变成了日常生活活动---In my spare time, I will read some books, watch movie and sometimes go shopping.如果再具体说下去,也基本上是添加一些日常可能的活动,考生自己都会感觉这样的列举让回答显得比较单调。
如果我们能够按照话题中的spare time进行具体点构思,如after school, weekends或是summer or winter holiday, 这样我们就可以列出不同的活动了。
Spare time
Activity
After school
Spend time in library, completing assignments
At weekends
Stay in dorm, watching movie
Hang out with friends, shopping
Summer or winter holiday
Long distance traveling
Pay a visit to friends or relatives
When I got the spare time, like the time when I finished school, as a rule, I would spend time in the library, completing my assignments. Sometimes at weekend, I chose to stay in dorm, watching movies or hanging out with my friends. In summer or winter holiday, when I get a long period of spare time, I will go on a long distance traveling with my friends or paying a visit to my relatives.
如上回答,把抽象词具体出来,我们就可以有更多的活动进行更加多样的表达了。
具体回答方式三:个人身份具体回答
由于第一部分主要为针对个人问题的回答,如果考生按照通常感受进行回答的话,通常会缺乏观点,因而导致夸张而不真实的回答。如对于近期热门的工作学习类话题中的问题Who is more important to you in terms of study, teachers or classmates? 很多学生表示会说老师,理由通常为They teach me knowledge and give me a lot of instructions in my study. In a word, they help me a lot. 这样回答的同学占了绝大多数,可想如果考官多次听到这样的回答会是多么的厌倦。因此,建议考生要按照自己的特定身份进行特定的回答,讲讲自己身边的实事和事实,这样话匣子会比较容易打开。
如对于很多大学生来说,通常的感觉是同学对自己的帮助更大,能够及时给予帮助,而老师基本上完课就很难再次联系到了。由此,我们可以按照自己的身份进行如下回答:As an undergraduate, classmates tend to be more important to me. As for teachers, they are hardly to be found when I get some questions to ask. However, classmates are more accessible. I am able to ask them questions at any time coz we usually study together in the library.
当然,如果是高中生的话,情况可能就大不相同了。
As a senior high school student, teachers are more important. When it comes to classmates, I would say we seldom talk about study during the short class break. Instead discussing study problems, we would have a brief chat together. However, teachers are usually in the office. Once we get any question, we can seek them for help as soon as possible and get the most convincing explanation.
以上为大家推荐的回答方式希望大家可以在备考的过程中具体运用,打开自己的话匣子,让话题更贴近自己的生活和现实。同样,在考试的过程中,也希望考生们能够镇定自若,对话题进行一定的具体分类回答,让我们的表达更加自然,也更加丰富。
