如何巧用托福口语评分标准进行有效备考

雅思口语考试，就是与一个英语为母语的某国人的10-14分的面试，或者说交流。下面小编就和大家分享雅思口语考试临场误区，来欣赏一下吧。

雅思口语考试临场误区

雅思口语考试误区1 说的越快就越显“牛”

或许是在平时讲英语的时候，我们在不太注意自己的说话速度，又或许有人习惯上讲话时用很快的语速，或者是由于平时看到的听到的大部分是American的英语，给人的感觉是流畅轻快，节奏感也很强，可是雅思口语的考官大部分是来自英国、新西兰、澳洲或者加拿大，对于他们来讲，语速是考量一个人语言素质和修养的关键因素，对于他们来说，较快的语速并不是表现良好沟通的方式，反而，平均的语速或者较慢的语速能够更加拉近彼此之间的距离，并产生些许好感，因此，控制好自己的语速和谈吐是口语表现中不可小视的问题。

雅思口语考试误区2 拘谨的表现形成紧张氛围的“导火线”

雅思口语考试和大多数国际标准话考试不同，(例如托福就是机考)考官会亲自面试，并且考试形式是讨论加交流的形式，也就是说临场过程中，你的一举一动都在考官的注视中，那么过于拘谨或者紧张势必产生语言和肢体上的僵硬和迟钝，因此彼此之间的沟通没有得到有效的建立，你的表现一定会给考官留下不够良好的印象，影响你的口语成绩。这就是我们为什么一定要强调eye contact和smiling。

雅思口语考试误区3 说长句就是好事

在评分标准中，对于语法和流利度以及连贯性两项中，都有对句型运用的语言概念在各项分数级别中做了不同程度和侧重的解释，一般来讲，在口语表达中，能够运用不同形式的句型和语法可以从一方面体现一个人的语言能力，可是对于高分级别的语言标准，需要说明的是不同形式的复合句的使用是建立在充分的信息依据和明确的语音特征基础之上的，包括自然停顿、重音、语气、升降调等诸多体现情感态度的表达因素，由此可以看出没有任何语气特征上的指示和表明，也没有任何可以过渡不同形式的复合句之间的连接成分，势必会让考官怀疑你是在背诵已经准备过的答案，或者像是没有情绪的机器人在朗读，这样势必会降低考官对于你communication skills的评价。

雅思口语考试误区4 问到有关自己的问题必须说事实

在考官询问某些问题的时候，特别是在第一部分，所涉及到的话题通常是有关自己的个人情况和业余生活爱好等，由于之前准备不够充分，因此我们在回答某些实际问题时可以采用事实依据加以提炼或者修改、假设、虚构等方式让自己的表达符合问题提干要求和核心意思，考官不会考查你的内容是否属实，主要关心你是如何表达你的思想的方式，因此不要轻易直接回答你不清楚或者你不知道这样的答案。

雅思口语考试误区 5 交流是目的，语言本身是其次

聪明的你可能认为考官毕竟是人，因此和他搞好群众关系是临场发挥极为关键的事情，因此你会频繁的使用眼神交流法、微笑法、开玩笑法等博取考官对你好敢以期可能最终会得到比较满意的结果。但是，那些哦都是浮云，语言技术层面的工作才是最重要最急需做好的，相信一个满脸挂着微笑却只能进行只言片语的交流的考生，考官在评判的时候还是会客观地下结论，因此光做好表面功夫还是远远不够的。

雅思口语考试误区6 考场外面我的“地盘”我做主

雅思口语考试那天有同学很早就来蹲点，为了收集当天考试的信息为第二天的考试做准备，其实这是一项以为危险的工作，因为口语考场纪律中严格要求考生不能在考场周围相互之间询问考试内容，因此你千万千万千万不要临时抱佛脚找现成答案，如果出现任何意外的话。。。请自求多福。

雅思口语考试误区7 考试时间是几点就几点到

这个跟问题6又是完全opposite的情况了，雅思口语考试的顺序是根据报考考生的姓氏的首位大写字母顺序排列，由于考试当天多少会出现考生因各个原因无法参加考试如：如：准考证忘带、考试迟到、找不到考场、心理压力严重等，那么前面被叫到参加测试的学生的考试时间就会转移到下一个考生，因此大家一定得提前半小时到达考场，保证自己能够顺利地准时参加考试，避免上述状况的发生。

2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：有趣的科学领域

Describe one area of science (medicine, physics and etc.) that sounds interesting to you.

You should say:

What it is

When you knew it

How you knew it

And explain why it sounds interesting to you

An area of science that really interests me is geology. I mean, I don’t have a deep interest in the field to be honest, but I had a collection of interesting stones when I was a child and I used to look them up in books and learn about where they came from, how they were formed and things like this. I got quite into it for a time, and I used to read some National Geographic magazines, so this led me into finding geography interesting, especially anything related to volcanoes. So, I guess you could say I am mildly interested in geology and geography and the science behind the earth and plate tectonics and how physical geography works. I also watch, occasionally, documentaries, with my grandfather, about natural history and dinosaurs. I think this kind of fits into the same or a similar area of science really, because we have found a lot of fossils of dinosaurs and other creatures from millions or billions of years ago, in stones in mountains and quarries and other areas. So, all in all I’d say that I’m interested in this field more than any other field really. I’ve never really had an interest in space, or technology or military science, or physics or chemistry really, or the kind of things we learn in school. I don’t read about any of these things today – but when it comes to geology and geography I still have quite an interest. In fact, now you mention it, I think I’d like to develop this interest a bit more, especially as I enjoy travelling to natural places. I once visited the karst mountains in Yangshuo, near to Guilin, and I found this especially fascinating. You can even go into the caves on foot, or in a boat through some underground rivers and tunnels. I’d love to do this again.

Part3

1. What kind of qualities should a scientist have?

A scientist, I guess, should be very careful about details. Should have a great attention to detail. This is the first thing that comes to mind anyway. Unlike art, a scientist should have a solid foundation in mathematics and therefore have a strong ability to understand numbers and complex equations. This is the very basis of most science. Secondly, I think a scientist needs to be very calm, controlled, and have a strong and long attention span. When you are reading specific reports or doing experiments or putting together research papers you have to concentrate very calmly and in a very focused manner – there is no room for error or “vague thinking” in science.

2. Should children be encouraged to learn science?

Yes, of course, science is very important and children should be encouraged to have at least a basic knowledge of the physical sciences – and I think teachers and parents should make science interesting for children, show them how it relates to the real world and not just force them to learn endless sums and equations, but tell how things work in daily life in the home and on earth. How the seas come in tides, how mountains were formed, how crops grow, how the weather works – things like this will inspire interest in children, because they are always asking and wondering why things happen the way they do in life.

3. Can science be applied in life? Can you give me some examples?

There are loads of ways in which science can apply to life. In fact, science is really the basis of how all life is… well, “life”! Examples are numerous, but some that come to mind are things like gravity: why do things fall to the ground when we drop them? Why does water go down a plughole in the bath or sink in a certain swirling direction? How were mountains, rivers and valleys formed all those millions of years ago. All these things can only be explained by science.

4. What influence will international cooperation on technology bring to the society?

International cooperation and the sharing of technology, advances and discoveries can help everyone on the planet speed up in terms of developments in all fields. One example is medical science – if we share medical knowledge then more people in the world can be cured of diseases or at least develop possible medicines and vaccinations much quicker. If the world makes a “team effort” with things like this then it’s beneficial to everyone, especially the poorer nations that cannot afford the research and development, themselves.

5. What do you think about unmanned cars?

I think they are definitely something that is coming in the future, but we aren’t quite there yet. Currently they are in very early stages of development so there are a lot of issues with potential dangers and accidents, and it’s still not clear how automated cars will work on busy city roads and places with heavy traffic and quite disorganized roads and road systems. For unmanned cars to work effectively, we will have to overhaul our entire road systems, and this will take many years. So, I think we have a long way to go yet before we can trust such vehicles, but we are slowly getting there. They will certainly bring a lot of advantages when they finally reach the stage when they can be introduced and used on mass, but I think we’ve a long way to go yet!

2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：搞笑的电影

Describe a movie/film that made you laugh.

You should say:

What it is

When and where you watched it

Who you watched it with

And explain why it made you laugh

A film that made me laugh is actually quite an old film now. I watched it in my dorm at university with my classmates in my first year. It really sticks in my mind because it was the first time I’d seen it and there was a really fun and communal atmosphere in the dorm. The film is called “Crazy Stone” – it’s a sort of gangster movie directed by Ning Hao, and set in Henan. I think it came out in 2006. Anyway, we all loved the film. It’s even more amusing because the gangsters, or thieves, who steal the precious stone have a really strong Henan accent, which is both endearing and amusing. Also, something which is common in Chinese humour in films, they slip into various Cantonese idioms and expressions, which makes it even more funny. Anyway, there are actually about two groups of thieves, if I remember correctly, who are basically competing to steal and keep this incredibly expensive, priceless, jade stone. I couldn’t stop laughing throughout the whole film, because they keep failing in their attempts all the time, in amusing and entertaining ways. In some regards, the comedy is a bit slap-stick, and this appeals to my sense of humour a lot. Like I said, the atmosphere in our dorm was really good at the time too, and the whole dorm was full of students, all pulling their chairs in and sitting on the beds around the TV screen, as we drank some beers, ate some snacks and watched the film. We watched it twice, in fact, two nights in a row, and talked about it a lot afterwards, quoting some of the great lines in the film and repeating them throughout the week after. It was a great memory and a brilliant film. I’d certainly recommended it to anyone, and for those who have seen it before, I’d strongly recommend they watch it again. I think a lot of the latest Chinese films are not that good to be honest, either they’re heroic war films or copies of Hollywood-style movies. I do think that the Chinese films about five or ten years ago, and even before, are a lot better and have a stronger and more amusing Chinese flavor to them.

Part3

1. Do people enjoy watching comedies?

I think everyone enjoys watching comedies, yes. Pretty much everyone. There are lots of different types of comedies though, to cater for varying tastes, so it depends. But in general I think most people like comedies because they love to laugh. Everyone enjoys laughter and humour and it makes light of the more serious things in life and gives us all relief from the pressures of society and the stresses and strains of everyday life. Comedy is a kind of medicine, some people say, in fact, and we all need to have humour in our lives. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like comedies, actually. I have also heard that laughter is actually good for our health, physiologically it helps to improve our general well-being both physically and mentally, so I think more comedies should be promoted on TV and in the cinema.

2. Do people of all ages like watching cartoon?

I think so yes. There are, in fact, cartoons for people of all ages, and I’d say that it’s quite common in Asia, especially China, Korea and Japan, for adults to watch cartoons, or animations, as well as children. Of course, there are different styles and types of animations aimed at adult audiences than those aimed at children, but still, I’d say that a lot of people in my social groups and in my society enjoy watching cartoons. Japanese cartoons have always been quite popular actually, and perhaps the Japanese have become the most famous for a huge variety of cartoons and cartoon characters – animations that also cover a wide range of genres, from the quite horrific and brutal adult films, to the sweet, endearing and entertaining films of people like Miyazaki. I think they capture aspects of life in a unique and also magical way, and there’s often a very nice message in them too, that is both inspiring and educational for children and adults alike.

3. Why do some people like to make others laugh?

I think some people are very good at humour and jokes and making other people laugh. Others are not so good at it or interested in it. Some people pride themselves on a sense of humour and see it almost as part of the “art of conversation” – others perhaps are insecure and like to make people laugh to lighten the mood, or keep things light and entertaining because they don’t want to take life so seriously, or engage in serious or heavy topics of conversation. Some people simply have a very positive outlook on life and are able to see the humour in a lot of things, and they enjoy sharing this humour with their colleagues, workmates or family and friends. There are many reasons why people enjoy making others laugh, but generally I think it’s because it increases positivity and that’s always a good thing for everyone!

4. Should teachers in school teach students in a humorous way?

Yes, I believe so. Some of my best teachers were those that have a great way with words and a brilliant sense of humour. You see, if a teacher is humourous, then children and students are more likely to pay attention and get drawn into the subjects, because humour makes things more entertaining, and when things are more entertaining they are obviously easier to get into. I think one of the signs of a good teacher is having a sense of humour and knowing how to make a subject interesting and engaging to a wide variety of students. Humour also helps to break down social barriers and win people’s attention and confidence. Humour should be a part of teaching more than it is now, in my opinion.
