很多學(xué)員都問我,老師,怎么回答才能口語得高分呢?能不能給我們提供一個能拿高分的模式呢?

其實,低分的答案都有一樣的問題,高分的答案,卻各有各的長處。很多同學(xué)都認(rèn)為,只要我不結(jié)巴,不犯語法錯誤,正面回答了考官提出的問題,就足夠了。其實不然。請大家看下面的例子。
- Tell me about your hometown.
- I come from Beijing. I am native of this city. Beijing is the capital of China. In Beijing, there are many historical buildings. Beijing Duck is very famous – I always eat it with my friends.
該考生的回答完全滿足了學(xué)員心目中高分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),可是考官給出的分?jǐn)?shù)依然只有4.5分。那么,究竟什么樣的答案才能達(dá)到大家口語6分的預(yù)期目標(biāo)呢?
但簡單而言,如果能在口語考試中,充分使用一些小詞,展示詞匯的多樣性,使用多種句式,在較短的時間內(nèi)組織較長的答案,同時又能減少語法錯誤,保證基本的流利度,基本上就可以保證能有6分了。再請看下面一個7分考生的回答。
- Tell me about your hometown.
- Well, as you can probably guess, I come from Beijing and I have lived here all my life, although at the moment I’m studying in another city – Tianjin. I suppose, if I had to describe Beijing, the first thing I would say is that it’s absolutely enormous, maybe even one of the biggest cities in Asia, I guess. It’s so big that, in fact, even the locals have problems finding their way around. Another significant characteristic is that it offers examples of both classical and contemporary architecture. Actually, some of the China’s most renowned landmarks are “slap-bang” in the middle of Beijing.
大家不難看出,與前一個考生的回答相比,該考生的回答使用了大量的冗詞,即可有可無,不影響表意的詞匯和表達(dá),如這里的Well, as you can probably guess.../ I suppose, if I had to describe Beijing, the first thing I would say is that .../ I guess/ in fact/ Another significant characteristic is that.... 在這里,我一定要跟大家說明一個事實:考官真的不在乎你的家鄉(xiāng)是哪里,那里有什么,考官真正在乎的只是考生能不能用多樣化的語言表述這個事實。所以,請大家想盡辦法,一定要向考官展示出你的語言能力!正如中國古話所說,“不以善小而不為”,大家不要覺得這是口語中Part 1的部分,而覺得只要隨意地簡單說兩句就可以了。在這里,我給各位考生一個建議,這是雅思口語答案比較理想的結(jié)構(gòu),可以用在口語考試的任何一個部分。
lead-in phrase
1st pointing phrase
point 1
linking word/ phrase + detail about point 1
2nd pointing phrase
point 2
linking word/ phrase + detail about point 2
3rd pointing phrase
point 3
linking word/ phrase + detail about point 3
準(zhǔn)確地說,這也是雅思考官十分推崇的答案結(jié)構(gòu),大家可以在平時練習(xí)和備考時,實踐一下。最后,預(yù)祝大家考試成功!
