但是!如果你覺得口語考試難度會因此降低,你終於可以鬆一口氣的時候,事實總是狠狠地打了你一巴掌。

情景一:請問這個考官是在講rap嗎?為什麼他講的我一個詞都聽不懂?
情景二:我覺得自己講得挺好的,為什麼考官一臉嚴肅地盯著我?
情景三:我每一Part都講超時了,關鍵點都沒講出來就老是被考官打斷了....

十大技巧教你應對雅思口語現場
1Go to bed early the night before the test
在考試前一天早點睡覺
You need to be on top form (awake and energetic) for a challenging exam .
您需要處於最佳狀態(清醒而充滿活力)才能進行具有挑戰性的考試。
Don’t cram (study lots) and don’t go on Facebook tonight before the test .
不要將過多知識在考試前塞進你的大腦,也不要在前一天晚上刷Facebook。
You won’t learn anything new and Facebook will probably give you more questions than answers.
您不但不會學到任何新知識,並且Facebook可能會給您帶來更多的問題,而不是答案。
Instead watch a film or listen to a podcast in English. Relax and go to bed early.
去看一部電影或去聽英語播客。總之,放輕鬆,早點睡覺。
2Breathe and focus
集中注意力,專注於呼吸
Spend two minutes shortly before your speaking test, sitting quietly and focus on your breathing. Noticed the in-breathe and out-breathe. Focus only on your breath for two minutes. This is a very powerful way to get focused.
在口語考試前,用兩分鐘,靜靜地坐著,專注於你的呼吸。在這兩分鐘內,請專注於你的吸氣與呼氣。這是一種非常強大的注意力集中方式。
3Smile before you enter the IELTS speaking test room.
在進入試室前開始微笑
First impressions are important and having a positive manner will help you. Of course, it is not as important as your language skills, but this is a simple way to make a positive first impression.
第一印象很重要,積極的態度會對您有幫助。當然,它並不像您的語言技能那麼重要,但這是一種給人留下積極印象的簡單方法。
Don’t wait to see the examiner before you start smiling. Do it before they even open the door for you.
不要等見到考官後再開始微笑。最好在他們為你開門前就這樣做。
Then keep smiling while you’re inside. This will help both you and the examiner relax.
然後當您在室內時,請一直保持微笑。這將幫助您和考官充分地放鬆。
4Make your first two answers short.
儘可能縮短你的前兩個答案
The first two questions in the introduction are the ones either about your work study home town or home.
前兩個問題一般是關於您的工作,學習,家鄉或家庭的問題。
These are really here to help you relax and get used to the examiner’s voice. The examiner will not really evaluate these answers they are just to warm up.
這些問題可以幫助您放鬆並適應考官的聲音。考官不會真正評估這些只是為了熱身的答案。
5Take your time when you answer.
慢慢回答,不用著急
Most students rush into their answers before thinking, and then get lost and lose fluency.
大多數學生還沒思考就匆匆忙忙地回答自己的問題,以至於造成思維混亂並且失去流利性。
Be different, take a second or two to think before answering.
嘗試變得與眾不同,在回答之前花一兩秒鐘思考。
Remember you are allowed to hesitate and think of ideas.
請記住,您可以花時間猶豫和思考你的觀點。
6Don’t worry if the examiner interrupts you.
如果考官打斷你,不要擔心
Examiners always interrupt candidates, because they have to follow a script and finish a certain number of questions.
考官總是會打斷考生的回答,因為他們必須遵循固定的考試流程並完成一定數量的問題。
It is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be a good thing.
這不一定是一件壞事。實際上,這可能是一件好事。
It can seem rude, but don』 worry.
這看起來很粗魯,但請放心。
Take a breathe, get ready and pay attention to the next question.
深呼吸,準備好並注意聽清下一個問題。
7Remember in Part1 and 2, talk about you!
記住,Part1和Part2是講你的故事!
Part1 and Part2 are about your experience. You need to talk about you. Make your answers personal. Use 『I』 not 『people』 or 『you』.
第1部分和第2部分是關於您自己的經歷。您需要談論您自己,從而使您的答案個性化。使用「我」而不是「人」或「你」這幾類人稱。
8In part 3 develop your answer.
在Part3中要儘可能擴充你的答案
In Part3, you must develop your answers in order to show off your language skills-- especially your range of vocabulary and grammar.
在第3部分中,您必須擴充答案才能展示您的語言能力,尤其是展現您的詞彙和語法功底。
Give opinions, reasons and specific examples to develop your answers and show wider vocabulary.
提供意見,理由和具體示例,以擴充您的答案並展示您的詞彙量。
9Be as natural as possible
盡你所能表現得自然點
If you can, relax, think of the examiner as a new friend and chat as naturally as you can.
如果可以,請放鬆,將考官視為一個新朋友,並儘可能自然地聊天。
They want to give you the best opportunity to show your best English.
他們也想給您最好的機會來展示自己最好的英語水平。
