雅思口语第二部分技巧
发布时间:2022-05-12 14:45:44雅思口语第二部分技巧
雅思口语考试的第二部分中,考生被主要考察的是对于具体的事物、人物、事件等的具体描述能力。
1. 话题分类
Part2话题一共四大类,人、事、物、地。考生需要先将本季话题库的话题进行整合分类。
2. 话题点合并
这里要注意,合并话题时并不是将同一答案应用在两个话题上,而是将话题中的共通点挑选出来合并准备。我们拿本季题库中的两个话题举个例子。
Describe someone who you think is a good parent. 这个话题卡的第三个展开点是why you think he/she is good?
另一个话题是Describe someone who is knowledgeable. 这个话题卡的第二个展开点是what kind of person he/she is.
这两个话题点的相似性就非常高,可以合并准备。
3. 写关键词
上面的两个话题点可以统一合并为“你的家长”,比如我的父亲就是一个好的家长,因为他什么都懂,乐于分享知识,是一个好榜样。考生要准备的关键词就是know everything, share以及good example.
4. 大量重复练习
以这三个关键词作为你所展开的核心点来扩展你的句子。注意不要将每一句答案内容写下来,而是要反复说出来,在说的过程中不断雕琢你的用词以及衔接。还是举例说明。
以上面的三个关键词作为核心点,最初你的答案可能为:
My father is an engineer who knows everything. He tells me so many interesting things that are very helpful in my study. I think he is a very good example because I also want to be like him one day.
经过反复的练习以及老师为你进行一些高级词汇的补充后,你的答案会提高为:
My father as an engineer is the encyclopedia in my family. As a parent he’s always willing to share so many absorbing things related or not related to my study, which also set a good example for me to follow him or to be like him.
提高后的答案相比第一份答案,使用了更多的less common words并且衔接更为紧密。大家在备考时可以将自己的答案进行录音,随后检查语法升级词汇,使你的答案更加自然流畅。
雅思口语part2地点类技巧
出题逻辑
围绕5个“W”和一个 “H”
雅思口语考试中地点类的口语话题经常是考试重点,出现频率较高。通过观察所有地点类题型,不难发现,所有题目的出题逻辑都是围绕5个“W”和一个 “H”展开的。他们分别是Where,When,Who,What 【see,do】,Why and How。
WHERE
学会灵活运用方位词汇
作为 Where这个元素,其实可以提前做好充分准备,只要懂得灵活运用表示方位词汇就好,考生只要根据不同话题套用固定句型就可以了。
WHEN & WHO
简单回答即可
When和Who主要是介绍建筑建造的年代和到访的人群,基本做个简单回答就可以了,类似It was established/ built/ finished in一个年代就好。在说When时,还可以结合How often you visit this place? 一起回答。
WHAT
从所见所闻角度展开
在说What这个问题时,要从what you can see?和 what you can do?两方面考虑。说一个建筑里能看见什么,无非是它造型,大小,装潢【interior design,是不是exquisite,有没有一些glass curtain walls, 和chandelier,墙上可能还挂着很多的oil paintings】和布局【layout】, 几层楼,然后可以列举一系列甜点名称;并着重介绍某个best seller。
WHY
综合所有优点进行头脑风暴
Why?为什么喜欢是要重点交代一点,这时可以综合所有你曾经去过的咖啡店优点来个头脑风暴。也许你喜欢原因可能是这个咖啡店的饮料,或是早餐,也许店家是位制作咖啡的专家:因为每杯手工调制的咖啡上都会有很漂亮……都是喜欢的原因。
TIPS:口语Part 2话题中地点类话题其实是较为固定的。出现过的地点类相关话题大致也是一样的,所以考生们根据机经题库中现有的话题以及所在考点三个月内出现的相关考题进行准备和复习,在考试中必定能轻松应对地点类话题。
雅思口语Part2中的提分技巧
1、在客观问题后面追述原因
复习过雅思的同学都熟悉第二部分的题目,看得多的同学自己都可以编题目。其实总的来说,口语的题目就是由what、when、who、where、why和how/how often组成,在朗阁,我们叫5W1H原则。很多同学一看题目,觉得除了why的问题可以回答出一些东西,剩下的问题回答不超过3句话,更有甚者,有的学生一句话就概括了3个问题。
这就是为什么学生发现口语中的2分钟那么煎熬的原因了。雅思的评分标准Fluency里就有一项要求叫做: students should be able to speak at length. 也就是说学生在考官提出问题后要自己能够给出完整的答案,有理有据,而并非简单的yes or no就可以解决的。那么我们怎么才能做到滔滔不绝呢?最简单的方法就是在when、who、where、how often之类的客观问题后面问自己一个why。我们下面通过例子来详述。
Describe another language 【in addition to English and your own language】 that you would learn, if you wanted.
You should say,
The name of this language
How you would learn it
What equipment or facilities you would need to study this language
And explain why you would choose to study this language.
我们就问题逐个解答。首先你想学的语言是什么,你可以任意选,法语、西班牙语、俄语等等。我们就以法语来举例。那如果只是单单的说the language I would like to learn is French这样又是一句话就完了。我们还可以介绍法语的一些情况啊,比如it is said that French is considered as the most romantic language in the world。这样不但延长了时间,而且很具体。当然同学们还可以交代法语是联合国会议的重要语言等等信息。但此处谨记不要着急说为什么要学法语,因为后面有why, 可以慢慢解释,要不然整篇布局会乱。
我们看第二个问题how。学任何语言都是相通的,你是怎么学英语的,把这些方法说出来就可以了。比如你来朗阁学雅思,你就可以说joining a training session is the most effective way to pick up a new language。当然还没完,这里就可以加上理由。比如:【接上句】since the professional teachers will introduce you the right techniques and tips to master it。当然学语言不止一种方法,你还可以接着列举另外的方式。有的学生会提到通过交法国朋友来学习,那么一定要记得加上理由,比如:I can practice my spoken French with some local friends. This is mainly because they can point out my mistakes and show me the right usage of the slang or idiom that Chinese teachers rarely use.
接下来第三个问题,equipment or facilities。同学们首先就想到了电脑。In terms of the facilities, computer plays a significant role in the process of language studying.还是记得加原因——we can download a large quantity of references which are definitely useful to our studies。当然你还可以说看电影、报纸之类的都行。如果还有其他的比如mp3、mp4都可以接着说的。无论你选择什么,作者还是要不厌其烦地提醒一句,记得加原因拓展你的speech。
这种方法是最实惠而且是最符合评分标准的。说到这里,平常练习总是没有话说的同学可以试试我们的例题。除了why不回答之外,相信你已经神奇地能够说到至少一分钟了。那么我们的另外一个秘籍呢?
2、不惜一切代价延长连接词或者连接句
雅思评分标准里有一项叫coherence——连贯性、一致性。同学们的口语中的连贯性一定是要靠连接词或者连接句来完成的,比如你最熟悉的已经用烂的and, also, 有的同学更可怜巴巴的只会用一个and。我们延长一些连接词的好处有两个,第一它们会让你的答案的逻辑性非常明显,让考官很容易抓住你的观点;第二在你没有特别多话说的情况下kill time。我们还拿上面的题目来作为例子。
Why would you want to learn this language? 同学们会有N个理由。一般考试建议考生说两个即可,比如你想去法国旅游,会法语能够让你的旅程更愉快;或者会法语能让你找到好工作等等,此处仅以此举例。那么首先陈述理由开门见山。As for me, I would want to study French for a couple of reasons. The most important one would be that I’ve always dreamed of going to France for a visit. The ability of speaking the language could make my journey more enjoyable. In addition to what I’ve just mentioned, a plus point would be that being able to speak French would probably increase my chance of getting a job.
从范文划线部分可以看出,其实它是延长了同学们的口头禅firstly, secondly。划线部分既清楚明了地告诉了考官思路,同时又减少了说实际内容的时间。我们何乐而不为呢?这些连接句希望同学们可以准备一两套,要做到能够信手拈来,这样才是真正的雅思口语的备考。
雅思口语话题Part2回答关键
关键一:思路-形容词具体化
不难发现,这个话题的关键词是“polite”, 就像an interesting neighbor, a good parent,这些话题一样,考官让大家描述的这些话题都凸显出其人物的性格特点。而这些性格特点往往在我们在日常生活中最容易被忽略。因为中文的语言思维会让我们在聊天时对某一个人的性格下结论,而非延伸出来聊为什么你认为这个人有礼貌或是他怎么有礼貌。所以思维的差异是难点之一。
其次形容词是一类很空洞的词汇,举个例子,任何一位出色的小说家都不会写“公主善良,王子英勇,然后他们幸福的生活在一起了。”这样的故事,因为没有说服力,也不会有读者买账。但是如果你说“公主善良,她经常给穷人分发食物;王子英勇,他曾经单枪匹马战胜恶龙”,这样的故事就很有说服力,因为性格因具体而真实可信,而这里就是运用了例子在论证形容词。所以,人物类话题的描述,尤其涉及到性格特点这块,我们需要添例子。有礼貌的具体体现比如:
· He always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things.
· When we eat at a restaurant, he would say ‘thank you’ to the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table.
· Whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say ‘thank you’ to the driver.
· He might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking, or how good their cooking is.
关键二:语言-举例的表达方式
解决了思路上的bug, 我们再来看看语言上的,既然我们需要举例来描述人物的性格,那么举例的表达储备,我们有多少呢?除了常规的表达,比如for example, for instance, take something or somebody as an example, 我们还需要一些句型来为高分添砖加瓦,因为句型也是雅思口语评分标准之一,以下就是列举:
1. Just to give you an example……
2. Another example would be that…….
3. One other thing to mention would be that……
所以解决完这个话题的思路和语言,我们将所有的要素结合起来,再添一些关于人物的基本信息的细节描述,组织成一篇答案,大家注意例文中标黄色的句型运用:
Well, the person I’d like to talk about is a good friend of mine called Nick. He must be one of the most polite people I know, which I’ll come to explain in a moment.
But firstly, as for how I know him, well, we’ve basically known each other since primary school, because we were in the same class and we still see each other quite frequently. You know, if I feel like going out and doing something, I normally give him a call and see if he’s free to meet up.
And moving on to why I think he’s so polite, well it’s basically because he’s just got really good manners. And just to give you an example, he always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things. For instance, I’ve noticed that whenever we’re eating at a restaurant, he would thank the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table. And another example would be that whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say thank you to the driver, which a lot of people probably think isn’t necessary, but I’m sure the taxi drivers really appreciate it.
So yeah, that’s basically why I’d say he’s such a polite person, and one other thing to mention would be that he’s always very complimentary to people. For example, he might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking is or how good their cooking is, which I know might be seen as being a bit insincere, but I think he genuinely means what he says, at least most of the time anyway!
So, that’s pretty much it, I suppose.
由以上例文的示范,我们不难发现人物类话题描述的重点往往不在于人物的外貌特征描述,而在于其性格的刻画或是对你的影响,若是本末倒置,就会描述跑题。
所以大家在准备人物类话题的时候,不需要背诵太多关于五官、身材的词汇,而是尽量将描述的重心放在人物的细节刻画上,这样的表达才会给考官留下深刻的印象。除此之外,性格的描述一定要多用事实说话,事例必不可少,这样一来,描述的人物才会有说服力和可信度。由此可见,人物类话题并不是我们想象中那么缥缈,只要大家能将其具体化、细节化即可,a polite person, 你会描述了吗?
