8個(gè)雅思口語考試時(shí)千萬不能說的表達(dá),來自雅思口語考官的誠意分享。下面小編就和大家分享 雅思口語考試別說這些話,來欣賞一下吧。
雅思口語考試別說這些話
為了更方便大家查看,今天把這8個(gè)內(nèi)容全部整理到了一篇里面,看過的同學(xué)也可以溫故而知新。在雅思口語考試中,有一些中國考生用的語句雖然不一定是錯(cuò)誤的,但聽在雅思考官耳里卻是很刺耳的。有的體現(xiàn)在太多雅思考生用那些只有很少母英語語人才會(huì)用的語句;有的則是正確的單詞被使用于不對的上下文。如果你不想招你的考官煩的話,最好避免用這些說法。即使你不考雅思,也可以學(xué)學(xué)更地道的表達(dá)方式。在雅思考試中最好別說這些話
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá):01to develop one's logical thinking /critical thinking
好多考生在回答'你為什么選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)?'或者'你喜歡你的專業(yè)嗎?'這樣的問題時(shí)會(huì)說:他們選這個(gè)專業(yè)的理由是:'這個(gè)專業(yè)能發(fā)展自己的邏輯思維和批判性思維'。當(dāng)這句話被翻譯成英語的:"I chose this course because I wanted to develop my logical thinking and critical thinking"不僅聽起來很奇怪,還會(huì)由于被太多考生使用,而令考官感覺很刺耳。另外這也好像不是一個(gè)特別誠實(shí)的答案。年輕的中國人要決定去哪所大學(xué)時(shí)必須要考慮到一些事情:他們要想自己對什么專業(yè)感興趣,哪個(gè)專業(yè)是他們父母想讓他們學(xué)的,哪個(gè)專業(yè)會(huì)幫他們畢業(yè)后找到一份好工作,他們也要估計(jì)自己的高考分?jǐn)?shù),然后猜他們的分?jǐn)?shù)會(huì)允許他們申請哪所大學(xué)和學(xué)哪個(gè)專業(yè)。很少很少準(zhǔn)備高考的學(xué)生在決定申請哪些大學(xué)的哪些專業(yè)時(shí)真的會(huì)問自己:'哪個(gè)專業(yè)會(huì)發(fā)展我的邏輯思維和批判性思維?不是嘛?
如何回答關(guān)于你為什么選了你的專業(yè)的問題?
我的建議:別說屁話就好!是你自己選還是你父母逼你選的專業(yè)?是你的首選還是因?yàn)楦呖挤謹(jǐn)?shù)很低沒有其他選擇。不要想太多,說實(shí)話就好??脊俸芟矚g聽考生告訴他們真正的答案。
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)02:亂用Cultivate
中國的雅思考生很喜歡這個(gè)詞,不過很少有能正確使用'cultivate'的。在英語我們用這個(gè)詞談?wù)撝参铮卟撕退?。在那種情況下:' to cultivate'的意思就像是'to grow'。正如我們可以說:'to grow plants/vegetables/fruit',我們也可以說:'to cultivate plants/vegetables/fruit'。但我們不可以說的是:'tocultivate children'或者 'to cultivate pets'。英語有幾個(gè)表示'培養(yǎng)孩子'這句話的意思,取決于不同情況。
我們可以說'to educate children','to teach children things'或者 'to raise children'。
談?wù)搫?dòng)物和寵物時(shí),
我們可以說'to breed animals'(繁殖動(dòng)物)或者'to raise/ look after/ take care of pets' (養(yǎng)寵物)。
另一個(gè)正確使用'cultivate'的方法是:'to cultivate a sense of something'.如'to cultivate a sense of responsibility/belonging/ awareness 等等。(培養(yǎng)責(zé)任感 / 歸屬感/ 意識)不過雖然這個(gè)說法是正確的,但我還是推薦你最好別用!就像之前提到過的'with the development of....',太多考生過于頻繁的使用這句話,而且往往用在不正確的上下文。如何表示'培養(yǎng)什么什么感覺'?當(dāng)志愿者可以培養(yǎng)年輕人的責(zé)任感。
Doing volunteer work can make young people more responsible.
一位好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)會(huì)培養(yǎng)人員的歸屬感。
A good leader can make their staff feel like they belong.
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)03 I have been working for / I have already worked
當(dāng)已經(jīng)上班的中國人被問“你是一個(gè)學(xué)生還是已經(jīng)工作了?”時(shí),他們會(huì)回答說:“我已經(jīng)上班___年了”。當(dāng)在英語里被問這個(gè)問題:“Do you work or are you a student?"時(shí),他們很多都會(huì)把那句:“我已經(jīng)上班___年?”直接翻譯到英語說:"I have already worked for ____ years."這個(gè)回答的意思是:"我之前上班了__年,”所以這就意味著那個(gè)人現(xiàn)在不上班。因此,他們實(shí)際想表示的是:“I have been working for ____ years".這個(gè)答案比較好一點(diǎn),不過還不是正確的答案。已經(jīng)上班的母語人被問到:"Do you work or are you a student?”時(shí),一般來說,他們不會(huì)回答說他們上班了多久。他們只會(huì)說:“I work."或者"I work, I'm a doctor"等等。他們被問到:
"How long have you been working for?”(你已經(jīng)上班了多久?)才會(huì)提到自己上班了多少年。
JOHN的提醒:你的考官也許不會(huì)特別在乎這個(gè)他可能已聽過太多中國考生犯的錯(cuò)誤,但是如果你想讓他知道你比普通考生厲害一點(diǎn)的話,
最好像母語人一樣簡單的回答說:"I work!"
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)04Delicious food
'Delicious' 是一個(gè)很好的單詞,在正確情況下偶爾用'delicious'沒什么不好。我估計(jì)我大概每月一次會(huì)用到這個(gè)形容詞。但一些英語學(xué)生的問題是:這是他們唯一會(huì)用來形容食物的單詞。無論他們想表達(dá)好吃、美味、可口、香噴噴或者味道不錯(cuò)的食物時(shí),他們總是用這個(gè)在小學(xué)就認(rèn)識了的老朋友——delicious。他們從不會(huì)單獨(dú)的用'food'這個(gè)單詞,而是每次在'food'前面使用那個(gè)快要“過勞死”的'delicious'。
我建議你在雅思考試的那天,最好讓這位老朋友休息一下,考慮用下面這些英語母語人經(jīng)常用到的詞:good food, nice food,tasty food, great food,scrumptious food。甚至有時(shí)候,我們沒必要前面一定加一個(gè)形容詞,簡單的說'food'就可以了。那我們該如何談?wù)撌澄?那家餐館的火鍋很美味。The ho官方真題Officialt at that restaurant is very tasty.日本料理蠻好吃。Japanese food is great.我喜歡烹飪美食。I enjoy cooking.
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)05 to broaden one's horizons
重要的事情說三遍:
這句話被中國雅思考生說的太頻繁!這句話被中國雅思考生說的太頻繁!這句話被中國雅思考生說的太頻繁!如果你一個(gè)人去了非洲,在一個(gè)沒電沒水的農(nóng)村呆了幾年,在那邊跟本地人溝通,學(xué)他們的語言,在他們的農(nóng)田幫助他們干活,跟他們的孩子玩耍等等。
那你可以說那個(gè)經(jīng)歷真的"broadened your horizons"。
大家要注意的是:普通的去泰國旅游的經(jīng)歷,從安徽搬到江蘇,在微信跟外國人交流都不能算。我的重點(diǎn)是:除非你在談?wù)撘粋€(gè)獨(dú)一無二,真真正正完全會(huì)改變?nèi)松氖虑椋駝t最好不要用'to broaden one's horizons'這個(gè)說法。對了,雖然中文里有“大開眼界”這樣的表達(dá),但英文沒有' to broaden one's eyes'的說法,這也是有些考生在考試中會(huì)用的錯(cuò)誤句子。下面是些用英文表述"大開眼界"的栗子我看的紀(jì)錄片讓我擴(kuò)大了眼界。
The documentaries I watch help me to know more about the world.
我想去美國為了打開自己的眼界。
I'd like to go to America because I want to see more of the world.
學(xué)英語幫了我擴(kuò)大眼界。
Studying English has helped me to understand the world better.
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)06 balcony
就像'French windows'一樣,
'balcony'(陽臺)是另一個(gè)很多考生以為被問到關(guān)于他們房間的問題時(shí)必須要使用的詞。好多考生會(huì)冗長復(fù)雜地描述他們的陽臺。然而絕大部分考官已經(jīng)聽到太多關(guān)于陽臺的背誦答案。而且因?yàn)榭脊僖仓啦]有那么多中國年輕人都住在有陽臺的房間。他們一聽到另外一個(gè)人又很夸張的描述他們房間的陽臺時(shí),就會(huì)認(rèn)為這個(gè)人也在背誦答案,而背誦答案是最最招惹考官厭煩的事情!!如何描述自己的房間?最好不要很詳盡地回答這類考試第一部分的問題。千萬不要考試前背這些簡單問題的答案。如果為了回答"What's your favorite room in your home?(你最喜歡你家的那一間房間?)
類似的問題,你需要花很多時(shí)間背答案的話,
那就意味著你英語當(dāng)時(shí)不夠好。最好先用幾個(gè)月專心練習(xí)用英語交流。經(jīng)過幾個(gè)月的高效口語練習(xí)后,你會(huì)覺得這樣的雅思口語第一部分問題很容易,到時(shí)候就能很自然清楚地回答。
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)07 French Windows
幾年前,我不知道究竟是誰,也不知道是在哪里,也許是一個(gè)培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu),一本課本或者一個(gè)網(wǎng)站。學(xué)生在雅思口語考試被問到關(guān)于你房間時(shí),最好不要用'windows'(窗戶)那個(gè)普通、無聊的單詞,而是用'French windows'(法式窗戶/落地窗)。"仿佛一聽到那個(gè)超高級的魔法單詞,你的考官就會(huì)覺得:你是一位非常了不起的、值得9分的考生!我還記得當(dāng)時(shí)在兩三天之內(nèi),突然聽到很多考生用那個(gè)單詞。
我不得不谷歌一下TMD的'French windows'到底是什么東西!(基本上是一個(gè)有很多玻璃的門)。從此以后,我至少聽到好幾百個(gè)考生在提到他們房間里的'French windows'。不過事實(shí)上,在中國很多年,我很少看到過那樣的東西。那究竟該如何表達(dá)這類話的意思?請看下面的栗子!關(guān)于你房間的問題應(yīng)該只會(huì)在考試第一部分出現(xiàn)。你不需要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間過于仔細(xì)地描述你的房間。如果你想談到窗戶的話,你不妨描述一下
你從窗戶可以看到的東西,比如:"I can see a river from the window of my room." / "My room looks out onto a river."
雅思口語錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)08 With the development of science and technology / society / the economy / industry etc
在國內(nèi)看新聞或者關(guān)于政經(jīng)的書時(shí),我們經(jīng)常看到'隨著_____的發(fā)展'那句話。
那句話翻譯成'with the development of __'雖然沒錯(cuò),但問題是:英語母語人幾乎從來不會(huì)用那句話。我在生活中聽過好多關(guān)于政治,經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)的廣播,我也跟很多朋友談過那些事情,不過我好像從沒聽過任何母語人用'with the development of science and technology/ society/ the economy那句話。
然后在中國,只要當(dāng)了一個(gè)上午的雅思口語考官,我平均來說會(huì)聽到它10次!!母語人偶爾會(huì)用'With the development of the internet'這句話,但它在英語中的出現(xiàn)率比中文中少多了!你可能會(huì)認(rèn)為這應(yīng)該不是一個(gè)特別嚴(yán)重的問題,我們大部分外語學(xué)生有時(shí)候會(huì)把自己母語的一句話直譯成外語,但問題是:太多太多中國考生都會(huì)用這個(gè)說法,而且會(huì)把它濫用到各種問題的回答中。那究竟該如何表達(dá)這類話的意思?
請看下面的栗子!
隨著社會(huì)的發(fā)展,我們的生活壓力很大。
- As (the) society has gotten richer our lives have become more stressful.
隨著科技發(fā)展,跟世界各地的人交流很容易。
- Now that we have lots of new technology it's very easy to contact people from all over the world.
隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,很多人可以出國旅游。
- As the country has gotten richer, it has become possible for lots of people to take foreign holidays.
2020年9-12月雅思口語part2&3答案解析:一個(gè)好的決定
Describe a good decision you made recently.
You should say:
When it happened
Why you made this decision
What the decision was
And explain how you felt about it
A good decision I made very recently was the decision to go with my friends on a hike in the fragrant hills, just outside Beijing. I was not sure if I wanted to go because I am not really used to walking or hiking and things like this, so I was wavering in making the decision. But in the end they convinced me it would be fun, so I decided to go. Actually I asked my father about it and immediately he told me “Yes, of course, you should go! You’re always sitting around the house playing games on your phone. It would do you good to get out and exercise and get some fresh air outside of the city!” So, I decided I would join them. We set off about 6am from near where I live, in a hired minibus, and I took a backpack with a picnic, of sorts, and some drinks and things like this. It took a few hours to get there, and the journey was really quite pleasant. When we got out of the city we could see the vast countryside on all sides, and gradually the mountains came into view in the distance. I had a nap for a while, and then we were there! We got out and started to walk along a quite well-known trail that lead up into the hills. It was a fairly easy walk, and there were stone steps along the way too, so it wasn’t exactly a grueling mountain track in the middle of nowhere. A lot of countryside sites have been quite commercialized in my country over the years, and there are usually quite a few other visitors and tourists there too, so there are facilities along the way to cater for such people. I, honestly, would have preferred it if it were quieter – you can’t seem to get away from other tourists in my country and this can be a shame if you just want to spend time with friends and feel like you’re the only people there – just you and nature! Anyway, I did enjoy it, and we reached the top of one of the hills, sat down at a stone table, ate our food and chatted and took photos of the magnificent, panoramic views. I’m very happy I made this decision and that my father nudged me to go – as, otherwise, I would have just sat at home doing the same thing as I always do on the sofa, playing silly games and chatting to friends on my phone. Sometimes it’s good to decide to do something different with your weekend than your usual routine.
Part 3
1. How can parents help children make decisions?
Parents help kids make decisions in all sorts of ways. Mainly because they have more experience of life and a better, broader perspective on things. Parents don’t always help, though, sometimes they can be quite interfering and poke their noses in and try to make decisions for you, rather than guide you by calm and sound advice. It depends on the kind of parents really. I think parents should ideally acts as guides, and give logical advice, rather than push and force kids to do what they say. Also I think it’s important parents give reasons for their opinions, and not just tell you what to do from their positions of authority. Kids need to learn to make decisions by themselves, and parents should be there to help them, rather than force them. At least that’s my view.
2. At what age should children start to make decisions?
It depends on the type of decisions we are talking about. There are some decisions that children simply can’t make themselves, and other decisions which they are more than capable of making. Parents need to have a balanced idea of what things to allow their kids to decide for themselves, and what things to basically tell them to do. So, regarding the age when children can start to make decisions, I’d say that simple decisions can be made around the ages of 3 or 4 – basic things, like what snacks they might like to eat, or whether they’d like to wear one pair of shoes or another – and bigger “l(fā)ife decisions” should be made by parents until children are much older, into their teenage years.
3. What decisions do people make every day?
People on a daily basis make a range of decisions, like what to eat for lunch, what clothes to put on in the morning before going to work – how to do their hair. These decisions are largely based on mood and preference. Some days we simply feel in certain moods and not others for no particular reason. Other decisions might involve what kind of music to listen to, when to go to bed early or late, and which friends to meet for dinner or workmates to have lunch with. These are the kind of everyday decisions that most of us make. Then, there are decisions we need to make in our jobs, depending on projects we are working on and timelines and deadlines and the way we prioritise our working day.
4. Why are some people afraid of making decisions?
Making big decisions can be hard, because life is full of dilemmas – situations in which we are not entirely sure which is the best decision to make, and when the possible outcomes can be both beneficial or quite drastic. It’s tough to make bigger life decisions, like what to study, or which jobs to apply for or who to marry even! These decisions change our lives, so we have to be careful when making them, and, of course, this makes us nervous, afraid and scared, because the decisions are so big and can have such a huge impact on us in the future.
2020年9-12月雅思口語part2&3答案:不喜歡那里播放的音樂
Describe an event you experienced but you didn’t like the music played there.
You should say:
When it happened
Where the event took place
What kind of music it was
And explain why you didn’t like the music
I remember very clearly a time when I went to a live concert, a live gig, and really didn’t like the music. It was a few years ago and my friend had a spare ticket to go to a concert in a place in Beijing called Yugongyishan - at the time it was a famous live music venue, which I think has closed down now. Anyway, it was to see a band called The Subs. I had not heard of the band, but it was a local, and quite well-known, Beijing punk band, apparently. I’d never really heard punk music before, so I was curious about the experience, so I agreed to go along with my friend. The gig started around 9pm and went on really late. There were a couple of other bands that played beforehand, but we missed those and just got there in time for the main band, The Subs. I recall that the whole place had amazing lighting and there were crowds of people near the stage, and a few free tables about half way down the room, where it wasn’t so busy. We stood at one of the tables and ordered some drinks. The band came on, on time, with a girl with bright pink hair as the lead singer – she was short, dressed in ripped jeans and a pink top to match her wild pink hair. She basically shouted, screamed I’d say, down the microphone, and then the guitars and drums kicked in and the place went wild. Basically, it was two full hours of loud, aggressive guitar, pounding drums and this girl leaping around the stage screaming into the microphone. Although a lot of the crowd seemed to love it, including my friend, I simply didn’t enjoy it one little bit – I thought it was crazy. I just don’t like aggressive styles of music like heavy metal or punk, I guess. They don’t really resonate with me – so although I guess I can appreciate why some people are attracted to them, personally, I don’t see the appeal – I found the whole gig nothing but a torture to my ears. After the gig I was massively relieved to be out of the place and away from the piercing noise, the screaming and shouting and the grinding sound of the guitars. I felt that my ears had almost been damaged and they were ringing as I waited for the taxi. My friend tried to explain the rebellious history of punk music and the alternative scene in Beijing, and how cool it was. But, I guess I’m quite a conventional person really – I just didn’t get it – it’s just not my style and not the kind of night out that relaxes or stimulates me. In fact, I was relieved to go home. I’ll never go to a punk concert again, I’m sure of that! I like the lighter, positive, upbeat sound of pop music, the grace of classical music and things like this. I like to see those kind of things live, but not punk or heavy rock music. I’m now very sure of that.
Part3
1. Why do many young people like spending a lot of money for concerts?
Young people are often into fashion and music. They tend to follow trends of bands and fashions that go along with the kind of music they like. It’s common that young people get really passionate about music and sometimes the lead singers, guitarists or key musicians in a band are even role models for young people. I think young people like to express themselves a lot, and when they get to their teenage years they want to show their individual tastes, personalities and also share the same kind of tastes as some of their peers in the same social groups. It’s a time in life where they are becoming adults, in a way, but they don’t have the responsibilities that adults have, so they follow these kinds of expressive things, like popular music or perhaps alternative, more individualistic trends, and they get incredibly emotional about them sometimes. I think it’s a stage of development that can be quite beneficial in a way. So, the result of this is that they will certainly pay money to see their “heroes” on stage and perform live music in front of them.
2. Do you think young people and old people enjoy the same kind of music?
Not really no. Most of the time old people enjoy more traditional styles of music, and younger people like more upbeat, perhaps slightly rebellious types of music – or at least music which is faster, perhaps easier to dance to, be active to, or music that stimulates those kind of moods: the mood for dancing, being highly active and doing things quickly or even rashly. I think that this reflects the stage of development and the energy that young people have. Older people, having been through similar stages in their own youth, tend to get a bit more tired with that kind of thing, and want more relaxing and conventional lives. As a general rule, this is the case anyway. Although, I must say, there are some older people who do keep up with times, follow a lot of modern music, and have a genuine interest in different musical styles – those kinds of people are likely to share the musical interests of their kids and the younger generations in general. So, there are older people, too, who are music enthusiasts and do follow current musical trends, but not so many from my experience.
3. Do you think it is appropriate for old people to go to concerts?
Of course, I think older people can do what they like really. If they want to see a concert, whether it be a modern pop, rock or punk concert, or a classical concert, why shouldn’t they? It’s all a matter of taste really. If they feel like being in those kind of places then I think it’s fine. Naturally, I think most older people wouldn’t really choose to be in the thick crowds of young people in a heavy metal or punk concert, really. They’d usually prefer to see a traditional performance or a calmer, more classical performance in a theatre or so. But, for those older people that do enjoy modern concerts, I can’t see any reason why they shouldn’t go if that is what they’re into!
中國雅思考生口語考試中常犯的錯(cuò)誤
