四種方法提升雅思口語詞匯的多樣性
眾所周知,雅思口語考試有四大評分標準:Grammatical range and accuracy(語法)、Lexical resource(詞匯)、Pronunciation(發(fā)音)和Fluency and coherence(流利度與連貫性)。在這四大評分標準中,重要性是可以平分秋色的。但是如果把學習英語的過程比作建設一座大樓的話,那么樓房的高度是由修建它的磚塊的數量決定的,而詞匯就是構建語言的磚塊。沒有詞匯,人們就無法生動準確地表達出自己的意思。因此,今天就從詞匯的角度來談談如何在雅思口語考試中凸顯自己的表達亮點。
1學習近義詞,適當使用難詞
筆者在教學及模擬測試的過程中會發(fā)現,考生在緊張的情況下,通常張口說出來的,都是開始學習英語就接觸的最簡單的詞匯。這個很好解釋,是因為這些詞匯已經扎根在了他們的腦海里,根深蒂固,幾乎可以不假思索的脫口而出。例如,當問到喜歡的事物的時候,考生的答案里會充斥著like、love等字眼,而“許多、大量”等詞,則通常用“l(fā)ots of”、“many”等表達。然而,后果也是顯而易見的,如果考生所使用的詞匯一直單一重復的話,則無法吸引考官,那么,當然也就無法取得理想的成績。
學習近義詞是拓展詞匯量的一個好方法,尤其是形容詞的同義詞替換。當然,此類同義詞替換不能只做同級的替換,像把“l(fā)ike”替換為“l(fā)ove”, 這樣的做法絲毫沒有任何意義,考生需要做的,是將本想使用的詞用稍難一點的詞匯表達出來。為什么要在考試中適當使用難詞呢?這是因為雅思口語考試注重考查與考生日常生活和所學領域密切相關的話題,考生如果能適當使用一些難詞來描述日常生活和所學領域,不但能避免千篇一律的模板式回答,而且會增加表達亮點,引起考官興趣。
以雅思口語考試Part 1的一個常見話題為例,讓考生體會一下如何適當使用難詞。在Part1中,考官經常會問到一個問題:“Areyou a student or do you work?”考生該如何回答才能更出彩呢?我們可以對比一下兩種回答方式。
回答一:I’m a student. / I’mworking now.
回答二:To be honest, I graduatedlast year and now I’m an entrepreneur, since I launched my first company lastmonth.
點評:回答一屬于中規(guī)中矩的回答,沒有亮點可言。回答二不但信息量大,而且使用了不少難詞,如entrepreneur、launch等,還靈活運用了過去和現在時態(tài),會給考官留下更深刻的印象。
2適當使用詞組和合成詞
在雅思口語中,絕大多數考生表達時常使用簡單的單詞,而忽略詞組與合成詞的運用,從而影響口語的得分。下面我們舉例來比較“使用單詞”與“使用詞組和合成詞”的效果差異。
A.Students of the poor regions have no advanced education.
B. Students of thepoverty-stricken regions have no access to the advanced education.
點評:這兩組表達意思一樣,但是B句顯然要比A句更有感染力。而B句與A句的區(qū)別就在于使用的詞匯。
不同:B句利用合成詞poverty-stricken和詞組haveaccess to分別替換了A句中的單詞poor與have,使得B句表現力更強,更體現考生的詞匯水平。以下筆者再列舉幾個可用來替換單詞的合成詞與詞組。例如:
1. bekeen on替換love, 如:“I love football”替換為“I’m keen on football”。
2. beavailable替換have, 如:“Famous universities have delicate facilities.”替換為“Advanced facilities can be available in well-knownuniversities.”。
3. cost-effective替換cheap, 如:“Metrois cheaper than bus”替換為“Metrois more cost-effective than bus”。
4. time-consuming替換waste(time), 如:“Shoppingwastes time”替換為“Shoppingis really time-consuming”。
3使用俚語錦上添花
既然口語總分是從四個方面來評定的,詞匯又是中國考生比較容易拿分的一個方向,為了確??偡帜玫嚼硐氲姆謹?,那么考生可以在“詞匯”方面多下功夫,爭取拿高分。在掌握了基礎詞匯的基礎上,還要求一些復雜的詞匯技能,其中之一就是要使用俚語。
俚語是非正式的常用語言,詼諧幽默。有一些單詞,如clever就是俚語出身,最終成為了標準英語中的一員。但是也有些俚語壽命不長,一些七八十年代的俚語現在聽起來已陳舊不已。而一些俚語則在特定的人群中使用。考生如果在日常表達中加進了一定量的俚語,會讓考官覺得你的英語非常的地道。但是在使用俚語時,也應該考慮到說話的對象、場合與時間,有些俚語并不適合在正式的場合使用。所以在學習俚語時,不光要學習俚語的含義,還要了解其用法和使用的語境。
下面是英式英語和美式英語中經常出現的一些俚語,供大家參考:
24/7= 24 hours a day, 7 days a week=all the time
bust a gut= tryextremely hard to do something
heads up= update ona situation
hook up= to meet upor to join in
no sweat= used tosay that you can do something easily
rip-off=overly expensive
take the piss=to make fun
up to speed= having the latest information or knowledge about something
最后,考生在準備考試的時候,最忌諱的就是死記硬背詞匯,擴大詞匯量也有一定的技巧,比如記同義詞及不同的詞性。除此之外,一定要活學活用,如果背了單詞及成語,不去用就永遠都記不住。在日常練習的過程中,可以把剛記的詞匯融入到自己的口語表達中,多去重復幾次,下次自然而然就直接替換成了非常用詞匯了,對考生的“詞匯”分非常有幫助。
雅思口語Part1話題:transportation交通
1.How did you get here today?
I came by bike because the roads are pretty congested at this time and a bike is quicker. It only took me about 15 minutes to get here.
2. Do you often use public transport?
Yes, I do. I use the bus almost everyday. It’s the cheapest way to get around even though it’s really overcrowded and not particularly punctual.
3.How could the transportation system be improved in your country?
Well, I think the first step to improvement would be to widen the roads and build to overpasses and underpasses to help traffic flow more freely which would reduce the congestion in the city center. Also, it would help if the bus service was improved to make it run more frequently which would help with the overcrowding in rush hour. I think those are the two main changes that need to happen.
4.What form of transport do you prefer to use? Why?
I prefer to travel by car because it means that I have my own space. Also, the buses and trains in my city are usually overcrowded; my car is much more comfortable.
5 How much time do you spend travelling on a normal day?
I probably spend about an hour and a half travelling to and from work. I travel during the rush hours, so there is quite a lot of traffic.
6. What do you do while you are travelling?
I usually listen to the radio or a CD. In the morning I like to listen to the news to find out what is happening in the world.
7.Do you ever have problems with transport?
Yes, as I said, I get stuck in traffic on my way to and from work. I used to get annoyed by traffic jams, but now I'm used to them.

Okay. Let me tell you about my experience last summer when we visited my grandparents in a village in Shandong Province.

It was hot and there was no air conditioner and few entertainments were available.

One summer afternoon, my cousin Daniel and I were wandering along the river bank wondering what to do to kill this boring summer afternoon. All of a sudden, Daniel got an idea. He told me we should have a competition, which took me by surprise. In that heat and in that kingdom of boredom, what competition could we have, to see who could survive longer standing in the burning sun without drinking any water? He proceeded by explaining that we should each dig a piece of mud, make it into a shape of a bowl, cast it onto the ground upside down and then see whose bowl make the biggest sound. It sounded stupid in the beginning and failed to intrigue me. But when Daniel jumped into the river and did as he explained, I decided to try. It honestly felt awesome to have hands and feet inside the cool mud and water. And the explosion of the mud bowl miraculous excited me.

查看原創(chuàng)參考范文:
I'd like to tell you about my first experience of Japanese cuisine. This story took place about five or six years ago now, when I was dating my ex-girlfriend. One evening, she invited me to eat out with her and a few of her female friends at this Japanese restaurant. At first, I was a bit reluctant to go, partly because I hadn't met any of her friends at that time and I'm not that great around new people, but mainly because I'm a fussy eater. There's nothing worse than eating out, dying of hunger because you'd skipped lunch so you wouldn't spoil your appetite, and then not liking the food you order or anything on the menu. My then-girlfriend persuaded me to go, but I told her I probably wouldn't like anything. The restaurant was nice. It had a Japanese theme but I think everyone working there was Chinese. We went in, sat down and thought about what to have. When I was looking at the menu, nothing took my fancy so I let the girls choose my meal, which was rice and some seafood like prawns and salmon; I think it was all or partly raw. The girls started tucking into their food but I just ended up playing with mine. I was starving, I could have eaten a horse, but I just picked at mine, mainly eating the rice, which had no flavour to it, and little bites of fish with my glass of water to wash it down. If I'd had my way, we would have gone somewhere else, to a place where I could have stuffed my face. I haven't had Japanese food since and I don't have any intention of trying it again.
