雅思口語(yǔ)考試Part 1
Step 1:身份核查(20-30秒鐘,4道小題)
本部分并不是雅思口語(yǔ)考試的開(kāi)始,但是在這個(gè)階段,考生仍需注意自己語(yǔ)言的質(zhì)量,千萬(wàn)不要犯明顯的錯(cuò)誤。誤。本部分的回答應(yīng)該是短小精悍的,不需要對(duì)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行拓展,因?yàn)闅w根究底該部分的所有問(wèn)題都只是為了核對(duì)考生身份和查實(shí)考生資料。
本部分考官的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白是:
● Good morning/afternoon. My name is _____.
接下來(lái)是四個(gè)常規(guī)問(wèn)題:
● Can you tell me your full name, please?
● What should I call you?
● Can you tell me where you’re from?
● May I see your identification, please?
Step 2:身份核查(20-30秒鐘,4-6道小題)
第一主題(4-6個(gè)問(wèn)題)
第二主題(4-6個(gè)問(wèn)題)
第三主題(4-6個(gè)問(wèn)題)
在正式開(kāi)始Part 1的提問(wèn)時(shí),考官會(huì)通過(guò)三個(gè)不同主題的問(wèn)題對(duì)考生進(jìn)行考查,每個(gè)主題都會(huì)問(wèn)4-6個(gè)小問(wèn)題。三個(gè)主題中有兩個(gè)是二選一的必考話題:your hometown 或者 yourwork/studies,而其他的兩個(gè)話題是隨機(jī)選取的。
在本部分,每道問(wèn)題的答題時(shí)間大概在10 -20秒左右,請(qǐng)考生按照正常語(yǔ)速測(cè)試一下自己在限定的時(shí)間里(10-15秒鐘)能夠說(shuō)幾句話,可在平時(shí)練習(xí)的時(shí)候嚴(yán)格按照考試的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)備,以確保能在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)完成考試。
在這部分你可能會(huì)遇到很多方面的問(wèn)題,而這些問(wèn)題的類(lèi)型也是多種多樣的。比如以下幾個(gè)問(wèn)題,他們看起來(lái)非常不好回答,甚至有些問(wèn)題讓人不知道應(yīng)該如何回答:
Q1: Do you like parks ?
Q2: Do you think different colours can change our moods ?
Q3: When do people give flowers in your cou
你現(xiàn)在可能在想,對(duì)于這樣的問(wèn)題我要如何回答,又要如何拓展呢?不妨先看下面的回答:
A1: Yes, I like parks because they are great places to relax. I think all cities need green areas.
A2: Yes, I think bright colours, like red, can make you feel energetic. Some greens and blues can be more relaxing.
A3: People give flowers on special occasions like birthdays or Valentine’s Day. In my country, giving flowers is seen as romantic.
雅思口語(yǔ)考試Part 2
第二部分的考查形式是個(gè)人獨(dú)白,考官的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白是:
I’m now going to give you a topic and I’d like you to talk about that topic for one to two minutes.Before you start to talk, you’ll have one minute to think about what you’re going to say. You can make notes if you wish. Do you understand?
接下來(lái),考官會(huì)給你一張含有如下內(nèi)容的卡片:
Describe a teacher you had when you were a child and who you liked. You should say:
● what he/she looked like
● what he or she taught
● how often you saw him or her
● and explain why you liked him or her.
考官會(huì)幫你讀出題干的內(nèi)容,而下面起提示作用的小問(wèn)題考官是不會(huì)念的。千萬(wàn)不要以為卡片題中的小問(wèn)題就是你在兩分鐘內(nèi)要說(shuō)的全部?jī)?nèi)容了,一定要按照主題擴(kuò)展思路,也就是說(shuō)卡片上的提示只是提示問(wèn)題而已,你要盡量多說(shuō),注意千萬(wàn)不要跑題。
接下來(lái)你會(huì)有一分鐘的思考時(shí)間,在這一分鐘里,你需要做以下三件事情:
1.讀題
2.想好事例(要想在60秒鐘的時(shí)間內(nèi)完美地構(gòu)思出一道新題是不可能的,大家需要在考前做好萬(wàn)全的準(zhǔn)備。請(qǐng)考生務(wù)必按照接下來(lái)每個(gè)章節(jié)的內(nèi)容仔細(xì)準(zhǔn)備,才能做到萬(wàn)無(wú)一失!)
3.在考官提供的紙上寫(xiě)下思路(注意,最好是寫(xiě)些東西,否則頭腦很可能在敘述到一半的時(shí)候短路。)
一分鐘時(shí)間到了之后考官會(huì)說(shuō):
Can you start speaking now, please?
在接下來(lái)的兩分鐘內(nèi),即使你說(shuō)的話中有錯(cuò)誤、表達(dá)不清甚至不切題,考官也不會(huì)打斷你。
如果你的speech沒(méi)有到1分10秒,考官會(huì)鼓勵(lì)你多說(shuō)些,如果你說(shuō)的超過(guò)1分30秒,考官就會(huì)說(shuō)Thank you,然后繼續(xù)下面的問(wèn)題。當(dāng)然,最好大家能夠說(shuō)滿2分鐘。建議在平時(shí)練習(xí)的過(guò)程中要按照2分15秒的時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備。
在你說(shuō)完后,考官會(huì)繼續(xù)問(wèn)1-2道與你所說(shuō)內(nèi)容相關(guān)的問(wèn)題,這部分的問(wèn)題是為了顯示考官對(duì)你所說(shuō)的話有興趣,所以你應(yīng)該盡量簡(jiǎn)短作答,不需要做太多的補(bǔ)充。這兩道題的主要考點(diǎn)一般是在People, Things, Places, Everyday Activities, Experiences, and Future Plans or Speculation about theFuture部分,在回答的時(shí)候請(qǐng)從個(gè)人角度回答或解釋,不需要從宏觀方面談。
有的時(shí)候,由于時(shí)間關(guān)系,或者考官對(duì)你所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容不感興趣,有些考官不會(huì)再加問(wèn)題。
雅思口語(yǔ)考試Part 3
如果說(shuō)Part 1和Part 2概括談?wù)摰氖?ldquo;考生和考生的生活”,那么Part 3的問(wèn)題考查的就是與之相比難度更進(jìn)一層的“其他人和整個(gè)社會(huì)”了。在本部分考官的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白是:We ’ve been talking about _________ (the topic in Part 2) and now I’d like to ask you a few more general questions related to the topic.
在Part 3,問(wèn)題的形式看起來(lái)會(huì)很像Part 1,但本質(zhì)上的區(qū)別是:所有的Part 3問(wèn)題考官都可以根據(jù)你的回答進(jìn)行拓展提問(wèn),而Part 1是不可以的。這些follow ‐up 問(wèn)題都是希望你針對(duì)剛剛的觀點(diǎn)做更加深入的討論。
針對(duì)你的觀點(diǎn)考官會(huì)提出不同意見(jiàn),希望你可以與他進(jìn)行辯論,或評(píng)價(jià)這個(gè)相反觀點(diǎn)。在這個(gè)部分,根據(jù)剩余考試時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短,和你回答問(wèn)題的長(zhǎng)短,考官會(huì)問(wèn)大概2-3個(gè)主要方面,而每一個(gè)方面都會(huì)有2-3個(gè)左右的小問(wèn)題。
在Part 3你所聽(tīng)到的問(wèn)題會(huì)明顯比前兩個(gè)部分難度大些,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)部分的主要目的就是考查你使用高級(jí)英語(yǔ)的能力。
雅思口語(yǔ)考試Part 3的目的就是考查考生對(duì)有爭(zhēng)論性的問(wèn)題表達(dá)個(gè)人見(jiàn)解、辯證分析討論問(wèn)題的能力?脊俑鶕(jù)Part 2的話題卡,將討論延伸至更加廣泛、抽象、有深度的話題上。在這部分,無(wú)論你如何回答,都不會(huì)有對(duì)錯(cuò)之分?脊訇P(guān)心的是你如何分析問(wèn)題以及語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用的準(zhǔn)確性。
看下面的問(wèn)題示例:
Why do some people think that university life is the best stage in life?
這樣的問(wèn)題類(lèi)型,可能考查的語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)包括:
形容數(shù)量的量詞:The vast majority of people think…
比較不同觀點(diǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞:Some people believe that university life is relaxing while others find it stressful.
形容詞及形容詞短語(yǔ)比較級(jí):They think it is moreconvenient than...
答題的關(guān)鍵在于正確使用以上語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)表達(dá)思想觀點(diǎn)。
現(xiàn)在我們從另外一個(gè)角度分析本題:
Why do some people think that university life is the best stage in life?
這是一個(gè)評(píng)估分析正反或多種觀點(diǎn)(Evaluating two different opinions)的問(wèn)題類(lèi)型,這種問(wèn)題類(lèi)型的答題思路是:
● Talk about opinions of different types of people
● Compare these different opinions
● State why people hold these opinions
有了上述答題思路作為引導(dǎo),回答起來(lái)就很容易了。
Part 3的問(wèn)題難度相對(duì)較大。把問(wèn)題轉(zhuǎn)換成陳述介紹性語(yǔ)句能幫助你爭(zhēng)取寶貴時(shí)間,快速辨識(shí)問(wèn)題類(lèi)型,然后用英語(yǔ)答題思路組織答案,并用高分語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)保證你說(shuō)出地道的英語(yǔ)。
在這個(gè)部分一般會(huì)有以下幾種問(wèn)題出現(xiàn):
● Attitudes and Values
● Personal Qualities
● Psychology (people’s motives and thoughts)
● Information and Communication
● Society
● Change (both cause and effect)
● Education
有的時(shí)候上述考點(diǎn)會(huì)有所重疊,也就是說(shuō)考查的方面有些是沒(méi)有明確的主題的,比如:
◆1. 提供相應(yīng)信息
考官會(huì)要求你對(duì)幾件事情舉出實(shí)際的例子,比如:What exercises are popular in China? 一定要按要求舉出相對(duì)應(yīng)的例子,數(shù)量最好在2-4個(gè)之間。
◆2. 對(duì)將來(lái)進(jìn)行猜測(cè)
本類(lèi)問(wèn)題可能包括猜測(cè)人們做某件事或者有某個(gè)想法的原因,典型的問(wèn)題是 What would…;if…
◆3. 提供解決方案
提供解決某件事情或者處理某種情況的方法,而且有時(shí)還會(huì)要求你給出建議。
◆4. 對(duì)比
比如differences between older and younger people; differences between males and females;differences between a situation today and the situation in previous years; differences between rural and urban areas...
◆5. 解釋某件事情存在的原因
Explain situations ( = explain how or why certain situations exist)
◆6. 給出你的意見(jiàn)或者對(duì)某事的判斷這部分典型的問(wèn)題包括How well ... ? How effective ... ? How much ... ? How important... ?或者回答以Do you think ... ? or Should ... ? 開(kāi)頭的問(wèn)題。其中,How important ... ?是最重要的問(wèn)題類(lèi)型。
有的時(shí)候,考官會(huì)故意就你所說(shuō)的觀點(diǎn)提出反對(duì)意見(jiàn),然后讓你討論與你所持觀點(diǎn)相悖的觀點(diǎn)或者給出自己的觀點(diǎn)和提出建議。此時(shí)千萬(wàn)不要害怕考官對(duì)你的“挑釁”,只要說(shuō)出你自己的真實(shí)想法就好了。
如果你等不及想要小試一下身手的話,那么就請(qǐng)嘗試回答下列問(wèn)題,這些問(wèn)題都是在考試中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的。
● Is teaching a popular profession in China?
● What do people in China think of teachers?
● If China could afford it, do you think more money should be spent on teachers or on facilities?
● Do you think school fees will increase in the future?
● What could/should the government do to improve the education system?
● Do you think there should be fewer exams?
● Do you think teachers are useful/necessary/important? (Why?/ Why not?)
● What (personal) qualities do you think teachers should have?
