雅思口语重在表达,
在考试中,有些考生的语句
虽然不一定错误,
但考官听起来却很“刺耳”!
因此对考生有不好的印象,
甚至直接低分OUT!
那么,有哪些口语表达是雷区?
又该如何改正提高?
今天给大家汇总了
「雅思口语考试中最好别说的话」
你在这么说吗?
从ID Check 开始,处处是陷阱
其实,口语考试从考官打开录音笔那一刻就已经开始了,问候考官和ID check决定了考官对你的第一印象,因此在回答那些标准问题时,一定要注意细节,避免这些低级错误。↓↓↓
标准问题1:
Examiner: Good morning.My name's John.Can you tell me your full name,please?
✕ Good morning,Mr.John.
✓ Good morning,John.My name's Li Xuan.
✓ Good morning.My name's Li Xuan.
1.Mr.,Miss, Mrs,and Ms.只用在姓氏之前,而考官通常只告诉你他的名字。
2.my name's 的缩读更地道,它属于“发音”这项评分标准的一部分;
标准问题2:
Examiner: What can I call you?
✕ My name's Li Xuan.You can call me Robert,I like this name because...
✕ My name's Li Xuan.You may call me Robert.
✓ My name's Li Xuan.You can call me Robert.
✓ My name's Li Xuan.Just call me Robert.
1.不要解释自己为什么叫这个英文名,或者补充更多信息,这个环节时间很短,你不需要详细回答问题,简单说出名字就好了。
2.may一般表示允许,感觉是上级在跟下级说话,会有一种不尊重考官、不够谦逊的感觉。
3.英文名发音要清晰准确,如果搞错了,会给考官留下很不好的印象。
标准问题3:
Could you tell me where you're from?
✕ Yes,I'm from Beijing.
✕ I came from Changsha.
✕ I'm from Shanghai,have you been there?
✕ I'm from Shanghai,I think you really should go there.
✓ I'm from Changsha,Hunan Province.
✓ I'm from Changsha,Hunan Province,which is in the southeast of China.
1.这个问题等同于"Please tell me where you're from",所以不要用"yes"开头,直接说来自哪儿。
2.要用一般现在时,而不是过去时;
3.不要问考官问题,也不要给考官任何方面的推荐,考官只想听到简洁清楚的答案。
4.如果你为了考官更好地理解而补充相关信息,记住:只需要补充一点点就可以,不要详细阐述。
标准问题4:
Could I see your identification,please?
✕ Here you go.
✕ There you go.
✓ Sure,here you are.
✓ Here you are.
1.可以不回答,简单地将准考证交给考官,也可以简单说:"Sure"或"Ok"同时将ID card递给考官;
2.Here you go/There you go这两个短语太过随意,一般是用在给乞丐钱或是给小孩子零食吃的时候。
Part 1 该尽情展示却说不出口
Part1的问题多为基础信息类,中国考生在这方面往往不会拓展表达,答案组织不完整或是说一些“废话”。
Question: Do you like your job?
X No. / No, I don't.(3-4分)
Part1是最体现词汇量的部分,不能简单回答Yes或No。应该利用词汇手段来丰富答案。
7分范例:
No, I don't, to tell you the truth. There's virtually(高分副词)nothing I like about it. For example(举例,扩展答案), it's too stressful, the working hours are too long – about ten hours a day –and the pay's way too low. So, as you can imagine(短语), I really want to find a better job(总结).
X en…ahh...well...like...
! You know...I mean...You see...
考生紧张时,会发出这些无意义的噪音或口头语为自己拖延时间,组织答案。这些表达会让考官对你的英语水平产生怀疑。
You know...I mean...You see...不要用在开头,一般可以用在答案中间,但不能多次重复。
如果想为自己争取时间,应该使用完整的句子来表达,如
That's a really interesting question...
I'm not sure about that, maybe...
但也不能用太多,否则会给考官留下废话太多的印象。
不少中国学生习惯用中式思维翻译成英语来回答问题。
Do you work or are you a student?!I have already worked for XXX years.!I have been working for XXX years.
这两种回答并不完整,没有正面回答问题,只是补充信息。一般母语人士会说:“I work."或者"I work, I'm a doctor"等等。
Part 2&3 开口万年老一套
Part2&3部分对考生的词句表达和逻辑提出了更高的要求,难度增加!要注意,Part2考生不能问考官问题,而且很多学生的答题逻辑也是错误的。
不能问的问题:
✕ This topic is so difficult,could I change another one?
✕ Can you give me a different topic?
✕ Can you change the question?
✕ Can you give me an example?
✕ Can I begin now?
✕ When will I have to stop talking?
✕ Have you been there?
✕ What do you think?
✕ Where do you come from?
✕ Do you agree with me ?
✕ What are your opinions?
在表达方面,这些词汇或短语就别用了!↓↓↓
X Every sword has two blades.
X Every coin has two sides.
X More and more...
X Nowadays
X colorful life
X improve qualities
X hot issue
X With the development of science and technology / society / the economy / industry etc.
这些答案的共同之处在于几乎成了被滥用的万能模板!而英语母语人几乎从来不会用这些说法。
建议大家应该学会更简单的同义替换,使口语表达更自然、更真实。如:
With the development of technology可以替换为:
because of technological advances...
As technology has been changing rapidly...
现在大家清楚了吗?
每部分的语言要求不同,
表达也要适时调整。
不依赖汉语思维,
不滥用套话,
英语越地道,越自然,
雅思高分才能清风自来!
