雅思口语需要注意的点(精选5篇)
在欧美中的英语国家,人们往往在日常交流中使用的是“生存型”英语。同时还会使用当地俚语方言,往往这些词汇语法并不一定就是正确的。这种就被称为“社会英语”,它们缺乏复杂的词汇和语法用法,比如冠词或介词。而我们今天所谈到的学术英语和社交英语虽然都是英语,但在用法和句型上还是有所不同,与日常生活用语,逻辑需要更加清晰。在使用中需要额外注意客观性,来看以下例子:
Example 1: I think global warming is a truth as we can see many climatic disasters in daily newspaper.
Example 2: The realty of current global warming is a controversial issue (argument).Scientists studying Antarctic ice layers are saying it`s a cyclic phenomenon and nothing to worry about. While we have also report of abrupt changes of temperature and sea level (example). Saying that, I think we are living in the era of sudden global warming(opinion).
通常,我们在口语中,不能按照自己的喜好而回答。需要根据逻辑的顺序一步步陈述论证来证明自己的推测和判断。记住,是“个人判断”而不是“个人评论”。第一个例子就是很常见的直接说明观点不解释理由的论述,按照自己的语言结构来回答问题。对于第二个例子,文中作者是一步步进行论述的,从而得出个人判断的。
第二点考生在使用口语需要注意的就是不要用绝对陈述来说明自己的观点和想法。绝对陈述是指讲话的内容带有个人的偏见,而这种偏见最后往往只会削弱语言的力度然后得到一个很低的分数。我们在口语论证过程中,需要明白论证是指对一个有争议的话题进行说服的行为。在这个过程中最困难的就是“听众往往会去理解他们能听懂的,而不是理解你说的全部内容”。所以如果频繁使用绝对陈述,就会导致考官只理解到你的观点,并没有很细致的听到你的理由和论述。因为在使用绝对陈述的过程中,我们的语音语调都会自然的有所强调,而在论述的时候却没有这个效果。导致考官觉得考生只在乎这个观点的表达,而忽视最重要的理由支持。
9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:非常开放的人
Describe a person who is very open.
You should say:
Who he or she is
How you know him or her
Why he or she likes
And explain how you feel about him or her
A person who I’d like to talk about who is very open is my friend Mary. Mary is about 35 years old and she sits near to me in our office. She’s kind of my deskmate I guess you’d say. Mary is a curious character because she has lived an unconventional life compared to many friends I know. Her father is from Australia and her mother is from a city in the south of China. The whole family have travelled and lived in a few countries all over the world, and they have lived a fairly international lifestyle. I’d say that she is open-minded simply because she has been exposed to different cultural and political perspectives in the countries she has lived in, and also she has had a close relationship with her parents on a very mature and open level – almost like friends. I’ve spent a bit of time in her house with her family, and it’s interesting how they discuss things together like they are good friends, not just parents and daughter. She is not just open-minded, but she is open in the sense that she is quite extrovert and honest with her views and her feelings. She is not afraid to say what she thinks about all sorts of issues, even issues which are a bit controversial. She likes to share her views and she doesn’t mind if people disagree with her or posit different opinions different to hers. She’s not very defensive about this – so it’s possible to have some quite heated discussions and debates with her about all sorts of things, without it getting personal or without her taking things personally. I wish more people could be open like Mary. I find it quite refreshing and it always makes for interesting and stimulating conversations. However, she can be quite challenging sometimes and I can understand why maybe many of her teachers in university didn’t really like her. She, perhaps, sometimes, needs to learn when to be quiet and not be so expressive about her emotions and opinions. But she has a good heart and means well – that’s just her way – and I wouldn’t really want her to change.

1. How do young people express their own feelings nowadays?
Young people are quite expressive about their feelings, I think. Well, I guess it depends on the age we are talking about. I’m not sure if you’re referring to children, or teenagers, or young adults, really. But, children are usually very open and expressive, at least most kids. Teenagers, too, tend to be quite expressive, and also quite stubborn and opinionated. Young adults start to learn to be more deferent in their attitudes, especially when talking with teachers or adults or bosses. Some people, however, remain quite expressive throughout their lives, and others are a lot more composed and keep their feelings inside and don’t like sharing their real emotions with others. So, there’s quite a variety of types of people in the world, but in general, I’d say that young people, especially children, express themselves more – usually quite vocally and quite stubbornly, especially when they want something!
2. Who are more outspoken? Men or women?
I really can’t say. To be honest I’ve known outspoken men and outspoken women. It’s really a personality thing. In general I would say that in the home or family women are more outspoken about their feelings when they are upset or angry, and men tend to keep these feelings inside a bit more. But, again, this is a generalization. I also know men who are very outspoken when they are angry, and even more unreasonable at the same time. I think, especially nowadays, there isn’t a huge difference between men and women in terms of one being more outspoken than another - it’s all down to individual personalities and one’s background, upbringing, and even genetics!!
3. Why do people need to express feelings sometimes?
Everyone needs to express their feelings sometimes. In fact, it should be encouraged to a point. People who keep all their feelings inside can get quietly frustrated and even very troubled. It’s important to be able to share worries, concerns and anxieties with others. Chinese people can be quite polite in some ways, though, and they don’t often like to share their personal feelings and emotions with others, like workmates or people who are not very close to them. I’d say this was an Asian cultural characteristic which is both good and bad. It means that some people can keep feelings inside a lot and it makes it harder to create close friendships and get to know other people and also learn how other people think and feel. On the other hand it also saves people from being burdened by other people’s concerns, which is also a good thing – we can’t always burden our colleagues with our feelings. So, it’s an interesting topic, really. I’m quite fascinated by psychology so I find this kind of thing curious to think about.
4. Why are people becoming less frank now?
I don’t think people are becoming less frank nowadays, actually. I’d say people are becoming more and more frank, at least young people. More direct, more frank and more honest about their wants and needs. Perhaps they are less frank about their feelings towards controversial topics in society like politics or other areas in which they may have conflicting opinions, but in general I think young people are pretty frank. It’s hard to say, though, again, as I keep saying, it is also down to invididual personality, upbringing and background – confident people sometimes can be more frank, and less confident people can be more introverted. However, this isn’t always the case, either. It depends.
209-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:你喜欢的一个家庭
Describe a family (not your own) you like and happy to know.
You should say:
Where this family lives
How you got to know them
How many members live in this family
And explain why you like this family
A family that I really like and am really happy to know is a family that lives quite close to us up the road. In fact, I’ve lived pretty much all my life in the same town, just outside Beijing, and it’s a fairly friendly town and everyone knows everyone. This family have been our neighbours, basically, for 25 years, or at least as long as I can remember, probably even longer, before I was born. Anyway, I knew this family from when I was a toddler onwards, and they are not related to us, but they are almost like uncles and aunties and cousins to me. They own a shop and a small business selling electronics. I used to play with them when I was a child, and when my parents were busy they would come collect me from school, and look after me and cook me dinner and things like this. I became really close to them, and to be honest, I still see them as a sort of extension of my own family really. There are 5 members in the family today. The man and his wife, the two kids and an elderly grandmother. They all live together in the one apartment above the electronics shop. They have always had a very happy and friendly family atmosphere, and they always seem to be doing lots of things together in their free time – going fishing, going shopping, going out in the car on excursions into the mountain, going out to eat in the local Xinjiang restaurant, and getting involved in activities in the local community. Because I’ve spent so much time with them over the past two decades I feel like I’m one of their family members and they treat me as if I am. So, I am always happy to spend time with them. In addition to this, when I’ve had problems in school, or have had fall-outs with my own brother or my parents, I can always go over and chat to them and they give me good advice and lighten my mood. They also always have interesting food to eat there – I think because the uncle used to be a chef in a restaurant in Taiyuan in his youth, so he learned a lot of dishes and likes to impress the family with his interesting and excellent cooking. You see, there are many reasons why I love this family!
Part3
1. Who is the leader in your family?
I don’t think there really is a leader in my family to be perfectly honest. I think my mother and father both play different roles in the family and share responsibilities. I think in a lot of families the man is the leader in some regards, but in other regards, the woman has a lot of control and power for decision-making too. Things have also changed over the past generation or two and I think now that both parents usually go out to work, there is also a lot more emphasis put on the role of the grandparents – they also assume some “leadership” responsibilities and roles as well, especially as they are looking after the children and the family while everyone else is out at work. So, I think that although things do vary from family to family, a lot of families these days don’t have one “leader” or “boss” but responsibilities and decision-making is divided between different older family members.
2. Are grandparents important to a family?
I think grandparents are very important, on a number of levels. Firstly, especially in my culture, I think, grandparents play a very key and active role in taking care of children while parents go out to work. People work quite long hours in China, especially compared to many European countries, and there isn’t so much work flexibility in terms of hours and picking up kids from school and things like this, so grandparents take on these kind of responsibilities whilst the parents are engaged in their work and work-related duties. Secondly, I would argue that grandparents provide an influence from an older generation and the wisdom that comes from this. Having lived longer and through more difficult times, often, grandparents can have good advise that helps a family move forward as kids grow up and adults deal with the responsibilities of a busy worklife. Kids can learn a lot from their grandparents and I think this is an important part of their upbringing. At least to a certain extent.
3. Do you think it’s beneficial to live with other relatives?
It can be practically beneficial, yes, but it brings with it other complications and confusions as well. Older people can sometimes interfere a lot in young people’s business and try to take over and dominate the upbringing of children, for example, and I think there can be quite a few frictions which come about from living with other members of the family and relatives. But, often it’s a practical necessity too, so these kinds of things have to be considered and balanced out and what is better for the wider family both practically and emotionally, should be seriously considered. People are different, and it also depends on the personality types of the family members as well as their practical needs.
4. What is the most important quality of parents?
I think the most important quality parents can have is being loving, kind and understanding and teaching their children to listen and instilling good social values into children as they grow up. Life can be tough, and it’s not always easy being a parent, and different people have different views on how to bring up kids and the best ways of disciplining them and teaching them not only practical educational stuff in the academic sense, but moral and social behavior and how to deal with people in the real world. Good parents will usually be open-minded people who reflect on life and have a good understanding of human nature, and try to pass this on to their children.

很多学生很喜欢在口语考试中给出一些stereotyped standard answers. 比如说,当学生一进门,考官说“How are you?”的时候,而大多数考生都会习惯性的回答“Fine, thank you. And you?” ;“你喜欢什么运动? ”,“football”,这些也许是大家在考试里给出的答案。但是雅思口语考试的初衷是人与人的交流。因此雅思口语考试的评分并非真正意义上的100%客观依照考生的英语水平来决定的。
雅思考试口语答题技巧2.“well,you know”要慎用
雅思口语主要是考察同学们对语言的使用,考场中心态往往会影响考试结果。特别是对于初次考雅思的同学来说,由于之前没有做过类似的口语测验,因此在考前对测验存在一种害怕感,总是担忧自己见到老外之后,可能会说的都会变成不会说的,这就是一种测验障碍,所以须要大家把自己的心态放安稳,必定要把口语测验当成是一个和考官的谈话,是和一个生疏人的谈话,仅此而已。把自己想说的,能说的,全都表达出来。
二、明晰考试流程并准时入场
在参加考试之前,一定要了解具体的考试流程并准时入场。进入考场之后调节自己的状况,放松自己的心境,不要让任何外界的因素影响自己的情感。如果未能按时进入参考,势必同学们就会产生紧张情绪,进而影响正常发挥。
三、灵活应对生僻难题
在实际的雅思考试中,如果遇到的题目是自己比拟陌生的话题或者是从来没有见过的,这个时候首先不要慌张,建议将话题慢慢转向一个你较为容易描述的物品。假如你看到的标题是让你描写一个宠物,这时候假如你对这个话题是空白的,就是说你没有筹备过,那么在这种情形下,看看能不能通过其他的话题进行一个比拟完善的转化,如果你发明自己不管怎么转换,都感到很牵强,那么就去说宠物里面最好说、同时最容易进行扩大的,因此在宠物这个话题上,最好说的是狗,你可以谈它的操行、长相、特点。因为这个是你身边的东西,是你接触最多的东西。
四、合理使用答题纸做笔记
雅思口语考试还需注意思维训练 导读:不少中国学生雅思口语不好的一个很大表现就是容易说出中式英语。但是我们有没有想过为什么我们会有这样的问题以及应该如何去解决这种状况呢?下面的文章我们就来好好分析。
我们都知道汉语和英语可以算几乎是两种没有什么联系的语言。我们毕竟不是在英语环境长大的,在准备雅思口语的时候,除了要解决自己在英语语法还有发音方面的问题之外,另外一个很重要的问题就是要学会用英文思维去表达。雅思口语考试的考官都是外国人,可以说他们的思维就是完完全全的英语思维。我们的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深,但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。描述上来讲,由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。美国人对空间的描述总是由内及外,由里及表。而中国人正好相反。从时间上来说,中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。为什么美国人和美国人、中国人和中国人之间交流很少产生歧义?就是因为他们之间能“猜测”。我们的教学不提倡“猜测”。但我觉得猜测对学好美国口语很重要。熟悉美国人的思维方式,对于我们练好雅思口语的帮助是很大的。它能从根本上帮我们避免中国式英语的误区,说出地道的英语表达,所以大家不能忽视这个问题。就算是以后真的出了国,你想要真正融入外国人中,这点就更加重要了。
Q1:答题卡的誊写時间?
A:英语听力录音播发時间约三十分钟,誊写答题卡時间为十分钟.因此考試的情况下学生能够 先把回答标在考题册上,在录音播放结束时,再抄到答题卡上.
Q2:这十分钟够了吗?
A:根据过去的工作经验看来,绝大多数学生都能够在十分钟内誊抄完,因此要是不是故意推迟,時间彻底充足,许多 考試可以在誊写完以后检查一下英语单词的拼写.
Q3:写答题卡的情况下如何判断还剩余多久呢?
A:听完录音后学生不必取下手机耳机,手机耳机中也有剩下的时间的提醒,比如“five minutes left”.除此之外,学生能够 在平时的训练中就开展倒计时训炼,对誊卡時间有一定的掌握,避免考試时的不适合.
Q4:判卷时对英文大小写有规定吗?
A:针对一些专业名词,许多 老同学聚会担心是不是必须首字母大写.事实上,对比于英文大小写,官方网得出的叫法是“拼写精确很重要”,除开专业名词首字母大写外,回答能用英文大写也能用小写字母.假如還是不安心的同学们,能够 把回答所有变为英文大写.
Q5:填空的英语单词写英式或是美式拼写有木有危害呢?
A:官方网得出的叫法是“应用美式拼写或英式拼写均可”.那麼,这类词有哪些普遍事例呢?
Q6:时间要怎么写?
A:无论美式還是英式,年代一定在最终.太阳太阴年是英式的常用书写,月日年是美式的常用书写,次序得话基础依照录音全文的次序写就行,尽管两者都能够 评分.
Q7:假如要写冠词得话,能算在篇幅限定内呢?
A:填空务必严格执行篇幅限定.假如英语的语法基本功不大好或是沒有确立听见全文念的实际是哪一个冠词得话,没有必要写冠词.冠词并不是雅思听力考試调查的重中之重.
Q8:简称能够 应用吗?
A:除开刚刚常说的月必须写全拼音外,普遍的比如am、pm、Dr./Doctor等能够 写简称.
雅思听力需要特别关注的词汇:条件词
雅思听力中很多的词汇是必须在练习的时候就注意的,尤其是一些关键的连接词汇。条件词就是需要被特别关注的一类词汇,因为这类词往往意味着转折,反义等意义,而这些意义则会是听力过程中最大的变数。很多语句的前后都会伴随着一些“条件词”:
Only if, Unless, Except for , As long as, Provided that, On condition that…
如果听题时候“分神”了,烤鸭会死得很惨!
例一:只有二三年级生才能使用MAC电脑吗?
The third computer network that is the Macintosh computer network is reserved for the second and third year students to use only, unless you are the first year students of the Graphic Design course, who require higher quality of the output of your work. 不是,因为后面有个unless部分。
例二:是否任何事情都可以联系你?
Q: May I put you into our mailing list?
A: Well, I’d prefer not, except for the information about the promotion you mentioned just now. 只有一个条件可以,就是except for后面的情况(别的概不接受)。
例三:你觉得多长时间播一次广告可以接受呢?
Q: How long will it be tolerate to have adverts?
A: Well, I’d say every quarter of an hour, as long as they don‘t last for 10 minutes each time.
答案绝对不是10分钟,我的课上这个题是重点题也是难题!很多考生会选错,纯粹是因为考生只听到10分钟这个点太清楚了,别的都很模糊,而且as long as 的条件词特别“提醒了”考生后面的错误选项。
例四:热带雨林危险吗?
There’s no need to be nervous of the rainforest, provided that you treat it with respect and common sense. Most of the animals and wildlife are gentle and harmless.
不要担心进入热带雨林会遇到危险,只要你善待自然,就可以和平共处……
关注各种条件词,需要在平常的练习中就对这类词汇施以极大地关注,并且要求广大考生不要想当然尔,在没有听完主体之前,先对听的内容产生了先见为主的印象。只有集中全部的注意力,并且有重点的听,才能在听力的过程中避免失误。
详解雅思听力中的衔接手段
仔细分析雅思听力材料就不难发现,其实雅思听力中是有很多衔接来串联信息以及暗示关键信息的,如果考生对雅思听力材料中各种衔接的手段都很熟悉的话,那么也就能够更快、更准的抓住雅思听力的主线,下面小编就总结了集中常见的雅思听力衔接手法。
雅思听力“衔接”能力很重要 培养有绝招。许多考生经常抱怨在考听力的时候最大的问题就是会走神,以至于跟不上文章节奏,抓不到关键信息。而雅思听力考试的录音材料又只播放一遍,考试时考生必须一边阅读考试说明和问题,一边听录音材料,同时还要记下重要的信息,写出答案。考生一旦走神,等到回过神来的时候,继续认真听下去的信心就容易遭受打击而放弃做题。本文中,老师将重点介绍一下雅思听力语篇的衔接手段,希望能对克制考生在考试中走神有一定帮助,能使考生跟紧文章的节奏,抓住答案。
词汇的衔接中包括了重复性词汇和同现性词汇。
重复性词汇主要是原词,同义词,近义词的复现。抓住语篇中心的复现关系,就能顺畅地抓住该语篇叙述的主题,也是在做短选项选择题时的关键。
比如You‘d be expected to write an essay each month……and also you needto hand in a short report every four weeks. 而题目问的是What two types ofcoursework are required each month on the part-time course-这里如果考生掌握了every four weeks就是each month 的复现词也是它的同义转换词那么这道题就很容易选出an essay和a short report这两个选项。
在听力语篇中,说话人会通过句子重音,逻辑重音,语调和语气等语音特征的变化来传递信息。比如在对话中,如果某部分是说话人特别重读和强调的,而这部分也是雅思听力的设题重点,而如果在对话中,说话者语气是升调的,那么该地方就很有可能是雅思听力设题的陷阱。对此,建议考生应通过大量的练习来揣摩和适应英语语音的特点和规律,以准确获取答题的关键信息。
考生如果想要在预读问题和听录音时处于主动,也就是说能充分地预测重要的信息和跟上听力录音原文的节奏,就需要掌握相关的方法和手段,否则在紧张的听力考场上就会经常因为走神而漏听答案。而希望这里所谈的听力语篇的几个衔接手段能帮助考生跟紧听力语篇的节奏而抓住重要的信息,写出答案。
从目前的教学经验中发现,听力语篇的重要连接手段主要有指代衔接,词汇衔接,逻辑信号词衔接和语音衔接。指代衔接指用代词等语法手段来表示上下文的指代和关联的关系。词汇衔接主要是指词汇的同义转换,比如词汇的重复,同义,反义,上下义词,互补以及整体和部分等关系,这个是考察的一大重点。逻辑信号词表示语篇各种逻辑意义和连句手段。语音衔接指通过说话人的重音,声调的变化和语调的核心等方式来连接语篇。
指代衔接中包含了人称指代和事物指代。
比如剑5中Test4中的Section4的37题和39题之间的关系。37题:training in specializedcomputer programs______.这里匹配的是选项中的B选项也就是library staff. 而39题checkingthe draft of the dissertation_____.这里匹配的选项还是B选项。39题中的听力录音原文是When you‘vegot something together the trainer here will look through the draftversion for you to see if it’s ok…… 这里的the trainer指代的就是37题选出来的librarystaff所以这两题选的是同一个答案。这个就是可以根据人称的指代做出答案。
逻辑信号词可分为列举关系,转折关系,顺序关系,解释关系,归纳关系和因果关系等。这6大类信号词可以作为预示的作用,考生如果能对他们做出反应那就能抓住说话人的思路了。
比如听力录音原文是Most people tend to book twenty-four hours inadvance……however, the earliest you book a computer is forty-eight hoursbefore you need it. 题目是Computer can be booked up to ___hours inadvance.如果考生注意到however这个转折信号词,那应该可以知道第一个数字24小时是个陷阱,而答案应该是48小时。
雅思听力备考冲刺的四个步骤
高级阶段本阶段完成后,英语学习者应达到或者接近英美人的听力水平,并能应付各种情况。
1)在听外台方面,要训练听正常速度节目。要从重点听新闻,转向多听专栏评论和报道。
2)在可能条件下,争取听使用英语的学术讨论会,语言学,文学,历史,政治经济等问题的讲座和科普报告,并积极参加报告会后的讨论活动。
3)如有兴趣或需要,可进一步训练听戏剧台词和诗歌朗诵,如莎士比亚,萧伯纳,奥尼尔等名家的戏剧,或英美诗歌名篇。
4)练习听用英语讲授的课程,学习英语是为了掌握一种语言工具,从而更好地精通自己的专业,因此,在这一听力阶段应达到听懂用英语讲授的专业课程或报告,要练习完全用英语进行思维,把耳听,思考,理解和笔录完美地用英语统一起来,如果客观上没有这种听课条件,大量阅读专业资料,听有关专业风空的英语报告,并积极开展英语讨论,与同行交换看法等,也或以在很大程度上弥补这方面的不足。
