雅思提高口语的四大技巧
01 句子不要太长,语速不要过快
很多同学在口语考试中遇到自己准备过的话题,或者紧张的时候,就容易出现说话不断句,语速越来越快的问题,其实并不是语速快、句子长就能显示出你的英语口语很好。
相反,雅思口语考试是一个和考官交流的过程,交流最重要的就是能让考官很好地听懂、听明白你所要表达的意思。不要试图说太长的句子,以简单句为主,然后使用一些简单的连接词把这些简单句连起来。
为大家分享一些实用连词:
并列关系:
首先:Firstly, First of all, What I want to mention firstly is that…, To start with, To begin with, For one thing, My first point is that…
其次:Secondly, In the next place, Moreover, My second point (reason) is that….
第三:Thirdly, furthermore, Besides
最后:In the end, Finally, Lastly, In the end, My last point (reason) is that…, Last but not the least
因果关系:
最简单的就是so, because, 如果想避免重复,使自己的回答更加出彩,我们还可以使用这些:due to, because of, owing to, thanks to, as a result of, inconsequence of, on account of, in view of, hence, therefore, thus, accordingly和consequently.
让步和转折关系:
Although, though, regardless of, even if, even though, as long as, despite, however, in spite of, instead, nevertheless, on the contrary, otherwise, though, while, yet.
递进关系:
not only…but also, as well(as), at the same time, besides, furthermore, in addition(to), like wise, moreover, worse still.
对比关系:
On the other hand, while, whereas, in contrast, on the contrary.
我们一起来看一道例题: Do men and women like the same hobbies?5分考生可能会这样回答:
No, I think men and women like different hobbies.
Men like playing computer games, or doing sports activities such as football and basketball. Women like watching TV, shopping, going to a karaoke bar and chatting on line.
这样的回答最大的问题就是结构,表面上看上去是把男人和女人的爱好进行对比,但其实只是分别进行了罗列,没有什么逻辑性。我们可以尝试用上面总结的连接词重新组织出这样的答案:
Well, certainly there are a few differences.
The first difference is the outdoor activities. I mean, men are fond of doing sports activities like football and basketball. In contrast, women prefer going shopping for clothes and shoes.
Another distinction is the TV programs they watch. For instance, men are quite into action movies. By comparison, women are more likely to watch soap operas.
用了the first, another这样的并列关系词和in contrast, by comparison这样的对比关系词,整个答案的结构和逻辑性都清晰了很多,口语分数自然会提高。
02 替换常用表达
很多烤鸭在备考口语中可能会走入一个误区,认为口语一定要说高大上的词才能得高分。其实有些难词的语境并不适合,口语中重要的是用不同的方式表达你的意思。
比如:Well, certainly there are a few differences.
The first difference is the outdoor activities. I mean, men are fond of doing sports activities like football and basketball. In contrast, women prefer going shopping for clothes and shoes.
Another distinction is the TV programs they watch. For instance, men are quite into action movies. By comparison, women are more likely to watch soap operas.
我们还是来看这个修改过的高分答案,表达“喜欢、喜爱”这个意思,我们没有使用单调的like, love, 而是使用be fond of, prefer, be quite into这样相对高级但也很常用的表达, 表达可能性使用了be likely to…的结构,这样的替换结构可以让口语不那么千篇一律,体现出你对语言灵活的掌握!
所以建议大家多多积累一些常用的替换表达,让你的内容也变得更加丰富,在词汇多样性这个标准上也可以取得好成绩。
03 掌握一些实用结构
明明积累了很多口语素材,可是到表达的时候就词穷了,会说的句型就是那么几个,或者是考前背了一些高级的结构表达,考场上却因为句型不熟而导致卡壳。所以说还是要掌握一些简单实用的表达结构,才能更加有机会取得高分!这里和大家分享一些实用结构:
描述作用:
1.Sth. enable(s) sb. to do
E.g. The smartphone enables us to contact with our friends.
2. Sth. allow(s) sb. to do
E.g. The smartphone allows us to contact with our friends.
3. With the help of sth...we can...
E.g. With the help of smartphone, we can freely contact with our friends.
4. Sth. help(s) sb. (to) do
E.g. The smartphone helps us to contact with our friends whenever we want.
描述听:
1.I hear(常用过去时,表示听过)
E.g. I heard her voice.
2. I hear of /about (hear of/about 表听说)
E.g. We frequently hear about these types of reports.
3. Sound
E.g. This sounds impossible.
4. Sound like
E.g. However, I do not want to sound like a Hollywood actor accepting an award.
描述看:
1.Look
2. Look like (it looks like...形容轮廓或外观)
3. I noticed that....
E.g. I noticed that most academics were writing papers during the summer.
描述想法:
1. I think / believe / suppose....
2. Think of
E.g. What do you think of her?
描述感觉和性质:
1.It is + adj. + for sb to do sth
E.g. It is a great pleasure for me to attend this meeting.
2. It is + adj. + that + 句子
E.g. It is impossible that she brings a gift to you.
描述不满意:
1.I am not satisfied with...

描述期待:
1.I can’t wait to do sth
E.g. I can’t wait to join the football team.
2. I am looking forward to doing sth
E.g. I am looking forward to joining the football team.
04 适当地运用地道的英语表达
除了口语表达和连接词,我们当然还需要掌握一些地道的英语表达和习惯,不仅能让我们的口语更自然贴近生活,而且还是口语考试中的加分项哦!比如:
▪ 为了使自己的内容不要听起来过于苍白,我们可以加一些例子使自己的内容听起来更加丰富,常见的举例方法有:like, such as, take...for example, in some cases, and stuff like that, and things like that, or something like that.
▪ 停顿的时候,用well, eh, um, 或者you know,占位。当你需要转移话题,或转换一个角度,或者遇上难题,需要一点思考时间又不想冷场的时候,试试这些表达“谈及、谈到、关于”的词组:speaking of, talking about, when it comes to, as far as s concerned, as regards, regarding.
▪ 用 flick/flicks 代替film/movie.
▪ 用“a smash hit”代替popular表达“某东西很火”,smash作动词用是打碎的意思,这个比较常考,但在口语中经常用到它形容词词义,表示极为成功的。
▪ the name of the game 问题的实质;最为重要的方面;事情的根本目标”。
最后,我们再来看一个高分答案:
Describe a useful website that you like to visit.
Ok, well the first website that came to mind when I saw this topic was Taobao, which is the Chinese equivalent of eBay.com. There's a huge range of stuff you can buy on this website. One of the best things about this website is that the prices are generally a lot cheaper than in the shops. I mainly go on it to buy things like clothes…
I know that shopping online can be quite risky, because the product often isn't as good as it looks on the website, but if you do enough research, such as read the customer reviews of the product you're thinking of buying, then I think you can avoid this kind of thing happening to you, because you’ll be able to get an idea of how reliable the supplier is.
在这个答案中,我们使用了well, stuff等地道又口语化的表达,同时也用到了很多连接词如one of, but, such as, because等,让整个回答听起来更有层次和逻辑性。A huge range of, get an idea of 等这些高分替换表达也是回答中的亮点!
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.
2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:国外的短期工作
Describe a part-time or short-term job you would like to do in a foreign country.
You should say:
What the job is
Where you want to do it
When you would to go there
And explain why you would like to do that job
I’d like to work as a tour guide. This may sound strange, but I have a few friends who while living in England actually got tour guide jobs for local National Heritage places, like parks and gardens that have old manor houses and stately homes and things like this. You see, there are a lot of Chinese tourists in many places overseas nowadays, and they often don’t speak very much English, and English speakers rarely speak any Chinese. So, I would like to learn about a place of national interest in a foreign country and get a job as a tour guide for Chinese tourist groups there. I’m really interested in history, you see, and I’m also really keen on improving my English, so I think that being a tour guide in an English-speaking country would combine these two interests very well. I could read the books about the tourist site, make notes, then translate them into Chinese and practice how I would show the places to Chinese tourists - you know, pick out the key facts and historical details of the places that I think would most appeal to a Chinese audience and talk about them. I’m also quite an extrovert person and I’ve always liked jobs that involve a degree of walking around, ‘teaching’ people things, telling amusing jokes and entertaining people. Tourists also like to be entertained a little bit too, so I’d be sure to find some amusing facts about the place and slip these into my talks. So, I think it would be the ideal job for my in the summer in a foreign country and I’d learn a lot as well as earn some money and enjoy entertaining the groups that I am responsible for. I think I could find such a job by looking online, or maybe calling the various tourist sites in the city where I’d like to find work. It would depend on where I could study overseas – first I’d get a place in a university, like York, for example, then contact the tourist sites in that city and apply for jobs. I think this is how my friends did it when they worked as tour guides during their summer vacations during their overseas study.
Part3
1. What kind of short-term jobs can we do when we go abroad?
There are a number of part-time or short-term jobs people can do when they’re overseas. I have friends who have done all sorts of things, usually quite menial jobs that are low-paying, but sometimes more interesting and stimulating jobs too. I think the most interesting ones I have heard about are jobs in a library or at local tourist sites – some of my colleagues have worked as tour guides part-time during the summer holidays. That’s one example of a short-term job that I think could be rewarding. Others worked in voluntary schemes, sort of charities, helping at orphanages or animal shelters. I can’t really think of any more examples, but I do think that part-time work can be beneficial for students and teach them responsibility, self-discipline and enable them to learn a little bit about working with others.
2. Why do you think some young people like to work abroad today?
I think some people enjoy the novelty of being in a foreign environment, meeting new people and learning new things. When we are in another culture we tend to learn a lot just in daily life – whether it’s simple stuff like everyday living and shopping and interacting with people in daily life, or more specific skills that one may learn working in a foreign company where the company culture is different, maybe the management style is different and the whole interaction with employees. I think working abroad can be rather challenging actually, and some people enjoy these challenges and benefit from them immensely, whilst others find them too overwhelming and intimidating and don’t enjoy them at all. Like a lot of things in life, it depends on a person’s personality, their ambitions and the things they enjoy doing in life.
3. Do Chinese parents encourage their children to work abroad?
I am not sure to be honest. Some parents do and some parents don’t. It totally depends. I think that some parents think it’s a good idea that their children do some part time work during the holidays if they are staying for the summer in the country in which they are studying, whilst others prefer their children to come home to see them and spend time with them because they’ve missed them throughout the rest of the year. There are parents who also feel it’s character-building and good for a person’s experience and confidence to take on some kind of work overseas between their studies. Life is often about experiences, and the more experiences you have the more mature, open-minded and understanding you can be about other people and life. So some parents encourage their kids to gain such overseas work experiences so that they develop new skills and become more mature about the international working world.
4. Are there any policies in China encouraging young people stay domestically to have a job?
I honestly don’t know to be perfectly honest. But I think that to a certain degree it’s good that people return to their home countries to work and contribute to their society. I’m not sure if there are any specific policies that encourage young people to do this, but I’d say it was a good thing that the skills we learn overseas are brought back home and used to help contribute to the growth of their home country.
