說到雅思,最讓人頭疼的就是口語和寫作兩部分,中國大陸考生的這兩個單項分數普遍在5-5.5,而很多高校要求單項分數不低於6,就是這0.5-1分的差別,讓很多同學愁到「頭禿」。
今天!我們就來說一說你離雅思口語6+之間到底差了什麼?
口語
在你的口語表達中有以下這幾種情況的考生請主動舉爪,並趕緊拿出你的小本本記下正確用法,再出錯請「剁爪」。
一「中式英語」
這麼多年你還在說中式英語(Chinglish)?
經典案例
1、考生-『What do you mean by xxx?』
考官-『It means ….』
考生-『Oh,I know!』
以上是當你遇到問題,向對方請教時, 對方給你解答後你覺得豁然開朗,想說「哦,我知道了!」你是不是第一反應就是『Oh, I know!』
如果你這麼說了,會讓對方覺得你既然知道, 怎麼還明知故問呢?
其實,在英語中正確的表達方式是 『I see.』 或『I got it.』
如果說,上面這種情況是因為中文的習慣表達和思維造成的,那下面這兩個案例就上升到讓考官不可原諒的地步了,連基本語法都是錯誤的……
經典案例
2、考官-『How do you usually go to school/work?』
考生-『 I by bus/subway to school.』 (我乘公交車/地鐵去學校)
這個回答完全按照中文的思維和語序來表達:I -我 、by bus -乘公交車 、to school-去學校。
這句話中完全沒有動詞呀有木有,英語中的每句話都是離不開動詞的,如果你以為『by bus/subway』 中的『by』 是動詞,那就大錯特錯了!!!正確的表達方式應該是『I go to school by bus/ subway.』
3、考官-Do you like your hometown?
考生- Yes, I very like it.
這樣的錯誤同樣是因為漢語使用習慣導致的,典型的Chinglish.
正確的表達方式是『I like my hometown very much』 或者 『I really like my hometown.』
二「時空交錯」
「時空交錯」
考官- when was the last time you visit your high school?
考生- The last time I visited my high school is two months ago when Igothere to pick up my sister whoishaving a speech competition in that school. I took photos of almost every corner of the school and every building stillseemsso familiar to me.
因為中文沒有動詞的不同時態的表達,所以考生在說過去的事情時往往還是用一般現在時,即便有時候有意識做了更正,但說著說著又變回現在時了,像上面這個例子一樣時光交錯一般的使用動詞,那可是萬萬不能的啊!
三「是他還是她?傻傻分不清楚」
「是他還是她,傻傻分不清楚」
考官在聽你講你最好的朋友-well, I first met my best friend in high school. He is very nice to me. She often tells me jokes to make me laugh and whenever I am in trouble, he would take care of me.
考官的內心是崩潰的:Is your best friend a boy or a girl?
四「回答過於簡短,只回答了表面意思」
回答過於簡短,只回答了字面意思
考官- Do you think friends are important to you?
考生1- Yes, I think friends are very important to me.
這種回答聽起來並沒錯,老老實實的對問題進行了直觀的回答:是的,朋友對我來說很重要。但是,然後呢?
考生2-Yes, I do.Friends are those who I can’t live without.
這個回答聽起來貌似比上面那個要好一些,沒有用問題中的表達而是用自己的語言進行了轉述,也用到了定語從句 『those who I can’t live without』, 可是正當考官對你刮目相看的時候,納尼,你卻驟然停止了?
正解示範:所有part1和part3的yes, no問題,雖然考官沒有問你why? 但你在回答中一定要自覺的回答原因。好的回答就是通過你的作答,考官無需就同一問題再向你提問。因為你自己剛才的答案中已經包含了他/她想問的內容。
Definitely yes. Honestly speaking,friends means a lot to me so that they are those who I can’t live without for the reason that they listen to you when you are down; they always support you whenever you are going through hard times; they spend time and laugh with you,enjoying the happy moments of your lives, etc.
五流水帳style的回答
流水帳style的回答
考官給出一個問題:Could you please tell me what you did last weekend?
考生回答: Well, I did many different things last weekend. I went to the park near my home with my parents. After that, we went to watch a movie in a cinema. The movie was very interesting. It was about…
切忌像上面這位考生一樣流水帳式的回答, 雖然說了很多,但聽起來讓人乏味,沒有重點。正確的作答方式應該是圍繞著一件事情展開即可。
正確示範:Well, I had agreat time last Saturday. My parents and I went together to the park which is just ten minutes away on foot. We had a picnic,enjoyed amazing views of the natural sceneries and took many nice photos there.It was such a pleasant day!
如果你就是以上這幾種考生之一,還有什麼理由埋怨雅思考官不給你口語高分呢?
好(tong)好(gai) 學(qian) 習(fei),攻克這些問題,才能打破雅思口語5.5分的魔咒!
