2021-07-13解决了无话可说的窘境,接下来要解决的问题,是怎么把话说好。
口语6分,不用刻意添加生僻词或者长难句,只要合理使用连接词,适当加入复杂句型,自然正常地与考官交流。
其实连接词,大家都会用,但别从头到尾只有and,because和but。比如用besides,also,what’s more来添加细节;用in the same way , similarly, 或者 unlike表示比较;用surely,absolutely可以表示强调;用after all,still来让步;用in short,in all 来总结。
除此之外,Part2的4个问题是围绕同一个主题,除了用连接词来制造起承转合,适当使用复杂句,也能让答案和答案之间的逻辑更清晰。
一提到复杂句就头疼是正常现象,如果先给你句型,再结合上面说过的5W+1H中的细节来刻意练习,你会发现复杂句没有想象中那么难。
1. (名词或代词) is the kind of (person/place/thing…) who (which/that) is…(Who,Where,What都能用)
2. (名词或代词)is one of the most (形容词) (名词) I have ever seen/met/known.(Who,Where,What都能用)
3. (时间名词) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.(适合When)
I first got to know him/it when + 从句(过去式)(Who,What)
I first got to know him when I was studying in primary school.
I first learned how to play basketball when I was in high school.
(名词或代词) have (动词过去分词) since +从句(过去式)(When)
We have lost contact since he moved out of town.
I have stopped watching the program since I entered the university where TV was not available.
If I had the chance, I would like to…(What)
If I had the chance, I would like to travel to California and visit my best friend who I haven’t seen for ages.
If I had the chance, I would like to ask Yao Ming to autograph my basketball.
引出个人观点或信息时的过渡句型,可以建构框架:
The reason why I (admire him/like the place…) is that +从句
The most important thing is that+从句
Another thing is that+从句
用于进一步解释说明:
What I mean is that + 从句
What I’d like to say is that +从句
举个例子实践一下:
The reason why I admire Yao Ming is that he is a legend and also a great guy. The most important thing is that he is one of China’s most recognizable athletes. What I mean is, his image can be seen everywhere, he is a household name. Another thing is that Yao has also participated in many charity events during his career. What I’d like to say is that he not only donated money to relief work, but also created a foundation to help those in need.
要提升表达方式,没必要执着于自己不会的生僻内容。把熟悉的内容发挥出来,重视连接词,把常见的从句用对,是直接的方式。
总结
雅思口语中,Part2要求长达2分钟的持续输出,因此在备考过程中,要充分了解新题库,整理合并相似话题,再有针对性的准备素材。
素材的质量与数量,可以利用5W+1H的具体要求来扩充答案,为考场通顺自然的表达做铺垫;要让辛苦搜集的素材充分发挥作用,可以使用连接词和复杂句来提升表达的效率。
