雅思口語重在表達,
在考試中,有些考生的語句
雖然不一定錯誤,
但考官聽起來卻很「刺耳」!
因此對考生有不好的印象,
甚至直接低分OUT!
那麼, 有哪些口語表達是雷區?
又該如何改正提高?
今天給大家匯總了
「雅思口語考試中最好別說的話」
你在這麼說嗎?
從ID Check 開始,處處是陷阱
其實,口語考試從考官打開錄音筆那一刻就已經開始了,問候考官和ID check決定了考官對你的第一印象,因此在回答那些標準問題時,一定要注意細節,避免這些低級錯誤。
標準問題1:
Examiner: Good morning.My name's John.Can you tell me your full name,please?
Good morning,Mr.John.
Good morning,John.My name's Li Xuan.
Good morning.My name's Li Xuan.
1.Mr.,Miss, Mrs,and Ms.只用在姓氏之前,而考官通常只告訴你他的名字。
2.my name's 的縮讀更地道,它屬於「發音」這項評分標準的一部分;
標準問題2:
Examiner: What can I call you?
My name's Li Xuan.You can call me Robert,I like this name because...
My name's Li Xuan.You may call me Robert.
My name's Li Xuan.You can call me Robert.
My name's Li Xuan.Just call me Robert.
1.不要解釋自己為什麼叫這個英文名,或者補充更多信息,這個環節時間很短,你不需要詳細回答問題,簡單說出名字就好了。
2.may一般表示允許,感覺是上級在跟下級說話,會有一種不尊重考官、不夠謙遜的感覺。
3.英文名發音要清晰準確,如果搞錯了,會給考官留下很不好的印象。
標準問題3:
Could you tell me where you're from?
Yes,I'm from Beijing.
I came from Changsha.
I'm from Shanghai,have you been there?
I'm from Shanghai,I think you really should go there.
I'm from Changsha,Hunan Province.
I'm from Changsha,Hunan Province,which is in the southeast of China.
1.這個問題等同於"Please tell me where you're from",所以不要用"yes"開頭,直接說來自哪兒。
2.要用一般現在時,而不是過去時;
3.不要問考官問題,也不要給考官任何方面的推薦,考官只想聽到簡潔清楚的答案。
4.如果你為了考官更好地理解而補充相關信息,記住:只需要補充一點點就可以,不要詳細闡述。
標準問題4:
Could I see your identification,please?
Here you go.
There you go.
Sure,here you are.
Here you are.
1.可以不回答,簡單地將准考證交給考官,也可以簡單說:"Sure"或"Ok"同時將ID card遞給考官;
2.Here you go/There you go這兩個短語太過隨意,一般是用在給乞丐錢或是給小孩子零食吃的時候。
Part 1 該盡情展示卻說不出口
Part1的問題多為基礎信息類,中國考生在這方面往往不會拓展表達,答案組織不完整或是說一些「廢話」。
Question: Do you like your job?
X No. / No, I don't.(3-4分)
Part1是最體現詞彙量的部分,不能簡單回答Yes或No。應該利用詞彙手段來豐富答案。
7分範例:
No, I don't, to tell you the truth. There's virtually(高分副詞)nothing I like about it. For example(舉例,擴展答案), it's too stressful, the working hours are too long – about ten hours a day –and the pay's way too low. So, as you can imagine(短語), I really want to find a better job(總結).
X en…ahh...well...like...
!You know...I mean...You see...
考生緊張時,會發出這些無意義的噪音或口頭語為自己拖延時間,組織答案。這些表達會讓考官對你的英語水平產生懷疑。
You know...I mean...You see...不要用在開頭,一般可以用在答案中間,但不能多次重複。
如果想為自己爭取時間,應該使用完整的句子來表達,如
That's a really interesting question...
I'm not sure about that, maybe...
但也不能用太多,否則會給考官留下廢話太多的印象。
不少中國學生習慣用中式思維翻譯成英語來回答問題。
Do you work or are you a student?
!I have already worked for XXX years.
!I have been working for XXX years.
這兩種回答並不完整,沒有正面回答問題,只是補充信息。一般母語人士會說:「I work."或者"I work, I'm a doctor"等等。
Part 2&3 開口萬年老一套
Part2&3部分對考生的詞句表達和邏輯提出了更高的要求,難度增加!要注意,Part2考生不能問考官問題,而且很多學生的答題邏輯也是錯誤的。
不能問的問題:
This topic is so difficult,could I change another one?
Can you give me a different topic?
Can you change the question?
Can you give me an example?
Can I begin now?
When will I have to stop talking?
Have you been there?
What do you think?
Where do you come from?
Do you agree with me ?
What are your opinions?
在表達方面,這些詞彙或短語就別用了!
X Every sword has two blades.
X Every coin has two sides.
X More and more...
XNowadays
Xcolorful life
Ximprove qualities
X hot issue
XWith the development of science and technology / society / the economy / industry etc.
這些答案的共同之處在於幾乎成了被濫用的萬能模板!而英語母語人幾乎從來不會用這些說法。
建議大家應該學會更簡單的同義替換,使口語表達更自然、更真實。如:
With the development of technology可以替換為:
because of technological advances...
As technology has been changing rapidly...
現在大家清楚了嗎?
每部分的語言要求不同,
表達也要適時調整。
不依賴漢語思維,
不濫用套話,
英語越地道,越自然,
雅思高分才能清風自來!
