雅思考试:雅思口语真题系列之四
最全雅思口语真题系列: Good News Via Phone
该口语回忆系列基于笔者多次雅思考试所得,极其珍贵(欢迎转载,欢迎使用),全是第一手的雅思考试题目,对同学们具有非常大的借鉴意义。至于同学们所问及的口语话题整理及思路,实在是时间很少也就没整理。在此,我个人希望大家不要背模板,意义不大,我建议大家从三个方面着手:
1.沟通由语言和肢体语言构成,一般说来肢体语言占到30%左右,也就是比划,一般我们看电影,美国大兵,比划比划也能把意思说通,70%有语言构成,基于此,我劝诸君所以请对着镜子练习你的口语,我称之为mirror效应,对提升口语表达很有帮助。
2.请将你的口语用录音笔录下来,你看自己说话是否存在停顿,感情,发音是否接近母语使用者。通常我们的速度过快,重读和轻度混淆,太字正腔圆了诸如此类。recorder很会帮助我们改变这些。
3.口语话题,请勿背诵模板,我提倡列提纲,列提纲形成思路。然后在此基础上填充材料。

附:Jeffrey口语制胜秘笈
Key points – A good vocabulary and content are important, but in my opinion, “Presentation precedes content, fluency precedes vocabulary” for the speaking exam. Adopt good presentation skills (eye-contact, pauses, speaking not too fast or slow). Read up and visualize a few possible questions. Make your answers exciting and passionate.
通常我们认为词汇和内容在雅思口语中非常重要,但是我们认为在雅思口语考试中,表现和流利先于词汇和内容。一个好的表现技能包括(眼神接触,停顿,是否读快读慢-这点中国学生尤为注意,不要太快了)。
1. Possessing a good stock of words is important, even more so than the writing exam (where you have the luxury of review and edit). However, fluency takes precedence over vocabulary, and if you feel you have forgotten the words, it is better to display a level of fluency with simple terms you know rather than struggle with numerous pauses while searching for the perfect word.
雅思口语和写作很大不同,在写作中需要大词和不断修改,而口语强调语言沟通的流畅性。
2. Remember to adopt basic presentation skills.
基本表现技巧
- Freshen up before the speaking exam (there is usually a gap between the writing and speaking exams).
梳洗一番,沐浴更衣,此点很是实用。
- Please ensure your breath is fresh by chewing on a few mints. The marker is unlikely to award high marks if he/she is semi-comatose from an examinee’s lethal halitosis.
嚼口香糖,呵呵,不要有口臭哦!
- Maintain good eye contact with the marker, and adopt a friendly demeanor. Remember that she is there to help you achieve high grades, not stall and obstruct your progress.
保持非常好的眼神交流。
- Speak at a reasonable pace, neither too fast or slow. You can practice this by recording your normal speech and monitoring it, or foisting yourself on a good English speaking person and asking for his feedback.
保持比较适度的口语速度。
- Modulate your tone. Raise and lower your voice a few times. While I am not advocating yodeling an entire cantata through your larynx, remember that the synonym for boredom is monotony – mono tone.
调节你的音调。但是你不要唱山歌哦!!语调不要一成不变。
- Use you hands in an expressive way, but don’t flay them about. Maintain a mild smile, but don’t giggle frivolously.
多运用手势,保持微笑,但是不要傻笑。
3. There are many websites that offer a good selection of possible questions. Read these and visualize your answers. This was the one area where I spent 6-7 hours preparing, but the actual questions turned out to be completely different!! Further, the link between the three questions was extremely tenuous, and I was asked to :
- Describe my favorite shop and discuss why I liked it.
- Discuss the shopping habits of my generation.
- Comment on the risks of online shopping.
As such, preparing beforehand will only confer limited benefits, and you need to rely upon your personal skills to get good marks.
