雅思口語的誤區(qū)全部都在這里了
說到雅思口語的備考,考生們或多或少都經(jīng)歷過迷茫時期,不管是報班還是自學,常常會遇到很多“謎之困惑”,仿佛雅思口語考試就是一場“套路之旅”,唯有弄清考官的偏好才能考取高分,所以“江湖上”開始流傳一些“高分秘籍”,比如只要發(fā)音好就能得高分,比如一旦在回答過程中被考官打斷,前景就一片灰暗……更有甚者,有些考生在經(jīng)歷了數(shù)次雅思口語考試的磨練之后依舊沒有考出理想的成績,于是開始迷信風水,懷疑人生,堅信考不好是因為缺少天時地利的加持,所以選擇花重金去偏遠地區(qū)再戰(zhàn)。備考雅思口語真的需要擔心這些問題嗎?下面筆者將為大家一一解答這些困惑。
1. 像Native Speaker那樣發(fā)音就一定能得高分?
在備考雅思口語的過程中,你如果依舊抱著練好發(fā)音成績就能上7分的心態(tài),或是認為將發(fā)音練到跟老外一樣就能考到9分的話,那真的要好好看下面的內(nèi)容了。首先,很多考生在學英語的過程中一直存在一個很大的誤區(qū),總覺得好的發(fā)音就代表好的英語水平。實際上,雅思口語考試共包含四項評分標準,除發(fā)音(Pronunciation)以外,還包括考生在口語表達中的流利性與連貫性(Fluency and Coherence)、詞匯多樣性(Lexical Resource)以及語法多樣性和準確性(Grammatical Range and Accuracy)。所以除了發(fā)音,其他三項評分標準也十分重要。
其次,發(fā)音準確并非是說要沒有口音,說得和native speaker一模一樣。它強調的更多的是單詞本身的發(fā)音、重讀、語音、語調等,而不是要求考生用僵硬的發(fā)音去進行毫無感情色彩的對話。當然,考生即便有口音,對每一個單詞也還是要清晰、準確,畢竟“清洗sheet”和“清洗shit”的含義是大不一樣的。
2. 流利和連貫就意味著語速快?
說完發(fā)音,再來看流利性和連貫性。很多考生認為只要提高自己的語速就能完美地做到以上兩點,所以在考試時剛聽完考官的問題,就開始瘋狂而快速地自說自話,不但不給自己留一絲喘息的余地,還不跟考官進行任何的眼神交流或是加入肢體語言的表達。其實這種做法是完全錯誤的。因為這樣做不僅會讓考官誤以為考生是在背答案,還會給考官留下不禮貌的印象,從而影響最終得分。
在流利性和連貫性上,雅思口語主要考查以下幾個方面:一是詳盡表達的能力,包括符合邏輯地組織觀點、進行適當?shù)恼Z義指示等能力;二是表達觀點、就自己的觀點進行辯護、就出現(xiàn)的話題進行討論及推測的能力;三是在表達過程中沒有不自然的停頓或是重復使用相同的詞。由此可見,雅思口語更傾向于考查學生的邏輯性和思維能力,所以如何流利、自然并有邏輯地表達自己的觀點才是考生們要努力的方向。
3. 生僻難詞是考官的最愛?
前面筆者講到,考官在判斷考生口語是否流利、連貫時,還會看考生在表達過程中是否多次重復使用相同的詞。于是就有考生誤以為生僻難詞才是考官們的最愛。下面筆者就來聊聊這一誤區(qū)。一提到雅思,很多不明真相的小伙伴就會覺得,既然這是一個需要檢測英語水平的出國考試,那其對詞匯量的要求肯定是“不計其數(shù)”。但換個角度來看,除了閱讀和寫作,我們在日常生活中與親友及他人交談時,并非要做到無時無刻不出口成章,也無需掌握所有的生僻難詞。雅思口語考試也是如此。
四項評分標準中,詞匯多樣性主要指的是考生要具備對單詞的同義替換能力以及在交流中正確使用不常見的詞語或表達方式的能力。但很多考生還是鉆進了背誦生僻難詞的死胡同。比如考生想表達“傷害”這個意思時,其第一反應可能會是harm或hurt,但下意識里又覺得這兩個詞有點low,顯示不出自己的詞匯量,于是絞盡腦汁回憶自己曾經(jīng)見過的“高端”詞匯。這種情況下,運氣不好的考生可能一個單詞都想不出,進而影響答題的流利度,得不償失;運氣好的考生好不容易想出了jeopardize這個“高大上”的詞,卻很可能因為不是常用單詞而忘記其發(fā)音。由此可見,考生與其這樣因小失大,還不如多熟練掌握幾個常用的替換詞,如damage、destroy、undermine等,以備不時之需。
4. 靠背誦答案和題庫就能高枕無憂?
眾所周知,雅思口語考試的話題庫范圍十分廣,每逢1月、5月、9月還會換題。但隨著考試人數(shù)和次數(shù)的逐漸增多,市面上出現(xiàn)了通過匯總考題而篩選出的每個月的大范圍題庫和小范圍高頻話題。很多考生為了擺脫“啞巴口語”的煩惱,開始背誦題庫和高頻話題中的答案,以便能在考官面前說得流暢、通順、內(nèi)容豐富。然而,這種方法是萬萬不可取的。首先,考生可能會因為背到和他人一樣的答案而被考官發(fā)現(xiàn),直接“game over”。其次,Part 2話題卡和Part 1日常對話的題庫背誦量特別大,考生即便花了大把時間將其全部一字不漏地背下來,還要應對Part 3分析討論部分的現(xiàn)場作答。因此,無論考生如何偽裝,考官都能檢測到考生真實的口語水平。
所以,考生與其花那么多時間去機械地背誦題庫答案,還不如在平時多思考答題要點,積累口語素材。另外,雅思口語考試的成績只是一紙證書,考生真正要面對的是如何提高自己的口語水平,畢竟出國后還有無數(shù)的課程和小組討論以及日常生活中的種.種交流問題在等著考生。然而,有些考生可能還是會問:有些話題卡的內(nèi)容我真的沒有經(jīng)歷過怎么辦?答案是:編。雅思口語的評分標準對于答題內(nèi)容的真實性并沒有提出要求,考官更不會當場詢問考生其答案是否屬實,所以考生在遇到自己不熟悉的話題時就放心大膽地編吧,只要答案內(nèi)容符合邏輯、合乎情理即可。
5. 和聽力、閱讀一樣,口語也有標準答案?
很多考生在剛接觸雅思口語時的第一反應是:有標準答案嗎?答案是:No!筆者曾經(jīng)在給一個考生進行“模考”時問過這樣一道題:“Do you think it’s suitable to give money as a gift?”當時那個考生遲遲沒有作答,事后筆者問他為什么不回答那個問題,是沒有聽懂嗎?他說:“老師,我個人覺得這樣做很suitable,我也很喜歡別人給我發(fā)紅包當禮物,但是我怕這么說考官會覺得我貪財,對我有不好的印象,給我低分。但我當時也想不出其他觀點,所以就一直沒有回答?!甭犕晁幕卮穑P者哭笑不得。
雅思口語考試是一項非常公平的考試,考分是考官基于考生在考試當日的表現(xiàn),依據(jù)同樣的評分標準評定的。所有考官都接受過全面的培訓,并有嚴格的監(jiān)督考核機制定期對他們的評分進行監(jiān)督,所以考官們不會帶著個人色彩或是歧視、偏見去判定考生的回答,而只會根據(jù)評分標準進行評判。另外,雅思考試還會用系統(tǒng)的程序對一定比例的考卷進行二次判分,所以考生完全可以放心。雅思口語不同于聽力和閱讀部分,沒有明確的標準答案,考生盡可以在尊重他人的前提下暢所欲言,只要觀點不自相矛盾、言之有理即可。
6. 拖時間、繞圈子、不停說就能拿高分?
口語考試中,考生們最容易犯的錯誤之一就是在答題時拖時間、繞圈子。一般在答題時喜歡這樣做的有兩種考生:一種是英語水平一般,總說不到點子上,于是說很多廢話來延長自己的答題時間;二是參加過太多語言考試的培訓,掌握了很多應試技巧,卻不會真正表達自己的觀點,這種現(xiàn)象在Part 2部分表現(xiàn)得尤為明顯。比如有一張Part 2的話題卡要求考生“Describe a magazine or newspaper you enjoy reading.”有些考生覺得對此無話可說,于是在開頭表述道:“Oh, that’s a good topic. You know I love reading newspapers and magazines, but I’m too busy to read them these days because I’m preparing for my IELTS exam. To talk about a magazine or newspaper I enjoy reading, I think is …”再如,有的考生認為應該在Part 1部分和考官拉近距離,所以當考官問道:“What outdoor activities do you like to do?”時,這些考生就開啟了嘮嗑模式,從有哪些戶外活動講到他上次打籃球摔斷了胳膊進醫(yī)院還錯過期中考試的故事。
然而,這兩種做法都未必能使考生得到高分,甚至會影響考官對考生口語水平的判斷。因此,應對雅思口語題最簡單也是最好的方式就是在考官問完問題后直接開門見山地回答,比如對之前提到的Part 2的題目直接回答說:“A magazine I enjoy reading is …”或是對那道Part 1的題目回答說:“I’m really into doing …”言簡意賅的答案才會使考生的答案內(nèi)容更有邏輯性,重點更加突出。
7. 被考官打斷回答或者考試時間很短一定意味著“完蛋”?
雅思官方考試指南中曾表明口語部分的答題時間應在11~14分鐘。有些考生考完發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的考試時間連11分鐘都不到,于是開始心里發(fā)慌,擔心是因為自己說得太差了才導致考官不想聽,所以很快結束了考試。這類考生對于自己的考試結果表現(xiàn)得特別悲觀,其負面情緒甚至會影響后面的筆試。還有一些考生會在被考官打斷回答后大腦一片空白,不知道該繼續(xù)說下去還是回答考官的下一個問題,從而導致忘詞、口吃等。
其實考生完全不必擔心自己的表現(xiàn),考官打斷回答或是提前結束考試都是其根據(jù)考試時間進行的自主調節(jié)。比如Part 2部分規(guī)定了考生的個人陳述時間在2~3分鐘,考生一旦超過了規(guī)定時間,考官就會打斷考生的回答。再如,前面幾位考生的答題時間稍長,影響了整體考試的節(jié)奏,又或者考官通過與考生短時間的交流就了解了考生真實的口語水平,便都會提前結束考試。被考官打斷或口試很快結束但最終拿到7分的考生比比皆是。同樣,說了很久結果卻只得了5分的考生也大有人在。所以考生們不必對考試時間的長短耿耿于懷,用心準備考試才是王道。
8. 大城市都壓分,偏遠地區(qū)一定能考高分?
北京、上海、廣州、深圳是令雅思考生最聞風喪膽的幾個城市。因為這些發(fā)達地區(qū)的外語環(huán)境相對較好,導致考生水平普遍較高,競爭相對激烈,所以很多考生都不敢報考,總覺得自己在這些地方會被牛人比下去,或是因高手太多,考官不會輕易地給高分。于是很多考生開動腦筋,紛紛決定去偏遠地區(qū)考試,自認為那里的教育水平不夠,考生的口語水平也都不會特別高,所以自己就可以順利地拿到高分。更有甚者會報考香港、泰國或越南地區(qū)的雅思考試,買好機票抱著必勝的心態(tài)去刷分,順便來一次說走就走的旅行。
其實考生完全不必花這么多冤枉錢跑去陌生的地區(qū)參加考試,畢竟考生是不會因為換了考點就能實現(xiàn)口語水平的實質性飛躍的,反而可能因為路途勞累、水土不服導致身體不適,從而影響在考場上的發(fā)揮。另外,雅思口語的考官會實行輪換制,也就是說,考官們可能會跑遍祖國大地,甚至全球各地,所以就算你跑到天涯海角,也有可能遇到一個身經(jīng)百戰(zhàn)的“老司機”讓你當場原形畢露。
雅思口語Part3話題范文:future job
1.Is it easy to find work (employment) in your country?
Well, it really depends on what kind of jobs you’re looking for. Like, if you want to work in state companies, it’s quite hard to get in, since you have to have relationships and connections, people who introduce you for the job, but for something in private companies, it’s quite easy actually, as long as you have a college degree and some relevant working experience, it’s a piece of cake.
2.What changes have there been in recent years in employment in your country?
I think there have been many changes in the types of jobs that people do nowadays compared to 20 or 30 years ago. First of all there are much fewer jobs related to heavy industry such as mining or ship-building or even manufacturing. Secondly, there has been a big increase in the number of jobs in the service and leisure industries like shops, gyms, and hotels. And finally, since the launch of the internet there has been a big surge in the number of jobs related to IT, such as web development and design.
3.What jobs pay the highest salary in your country?
Well, I’m not exactly that sure, but my guess would be that things like banking and real estate are probably the sectors which pay the highest, because I mean, there's so much money invested in property here in China, so the salary's bound to be pretty good if you work in real estate. And as for banking, well, I think it goes without saying that most jobs related to banking are relatively highly-paid, which is one of the main reasons why so many graduates here wanna find a job in a bank!
4.Do you think changing jobs is a positive thing to do?
Yeah, I'd say it's perfectly fine to change jobs. I mean, I can't see any point in doing one job throughout your whole career if you're bored out of your wits! So for me I would say the main thing is to be passionate about your job, and if at any point you start to lose enthusiasm in what you're doing, then it might be a good time to consider moving on and doing something else.
5.What age do you think is suitable to start work?
Well, it's really kind of hard to generalize, because some people feel ready to start work as soon as they've finished high school, and a lot of people who've done this have ended up quite successful. But I guess it probably also depends on what job you wanna do, because highly-skilled jobs, like being a doctor or surgeon for example, require many years of training, whereas menial jobs, like working behind a till at McDonald's, hardly require any training, so probably any age from 15 would be suitable for that kind of work.
6.How do you think work will change over the next few decades?
That's a good question, and thinking about it, I guess one thing that could happen is that more people might start working from home, simply because it's becoming more and more inconvenient travelling to work due to traffic congestion. So that's one thing, and I guess it's also quite possible that work, in general, will become more internet-based, because the influence of the internet on people's work has increased incredibly in the last 10 years or so, and I can't see this changing. I mean, more or less everything we do now can be done on the internet, and because it's so convenient, I would say it will play an even bigger role in our lives in years to come.
7.Is it easier or more difficult to get a job today than in the past?
Well, I would say it's definitely more difficult to get a job nowadays than it was in the past, and one of the reasons for saying this is that in the past, there was generally less competition for jobs, because not that many people went to university, whereas nowadays, there are millions of graduates looking around for jobs, which has made it extremely difficult finding a decent, high-paid job, unless of course you have good personal connections! And as well as this, another point I should mention is that 20 or 30 years ago, people were actually assigned jobs after completing university, so getting a job was pretty much guaranteed, whereas nowadays this is not the case at all.

Topic:Describe a gift you gave to someone.
You should say:
What the gift was
Who you gave it to
Why you gave it
And explain whether this person liked the gift or not.
Sample answer:
Alright,so,the gift I'm going to talk about is a scarf that I gave to one of my high school classmates.
The person I gave it to was one of my closest friends back at high school whose English name is Nancy. We were both fans of doing hip-hop dance. For this reason,we just ended up spending tons of time together.
The gift I gave her was a blue,woolen scarf. In fact,I gave it to her on her 17th birthday,which was February the 26th. The reason why I chose the scarf as a gift was that she had been complaining a lot about how freezing our classroom was and she had caught a bad cold a couple of times before. Because of this,I believed it would be a great idea to give her a scarf,especially a woolen one,cause it was much warmer.
Anyway,how she reacted to the gift …Vell,she was pretty happy with it and wrapped it around her neck right away. What she said was that it was a really warm gift that she was pretty thankful for.I felt quite content when she said so,cause that was exactly what I hoped she would feel.
雅思口語Part2話題高分范文:equipment at your home
Topic:Describe a piece of equipment at your home.
You should say:
What it looks like
what functions it has
where/when you got it
And explain how it can be used to improve the quality of your life.
Sample answer:
Well, I would love to talk about my little girlfriend’s iPod, a trendy mp3 player, which I would always take along with me wherever I go. Though it is an mp3 player I seldom use it to listen to music, but to something called a Pod cast, which basically it is a kind of “radio” program broadcasting on the web. There are so many different programs, about culture, news, politics and even language learning. I am particularly fascinated by the free educational resources it provides. Now I have French, German and Japanese learning programs on my iPod. Given me some time, I am pretty sure I can speak some French, German or Japanese or at least some daily phrases. In a word, iPod is special to me not only because it can accompany me wherever I go just like my girlfriend, but also because it is a new technology that I have greatly benefited in language learning .
