迁移法巧解雅思口语新题
雅思考试虽说是以人性化著称,没有过于专业的内容,仅重视考生对英语的实际运用能力。但不可避免地也会出现“为难”考生的题。也就是说,去参加雅思考试,七分靠实力,那么三分还得靠运气。
以口语考试为例,常听到考生言:“杯具啊,考到法律,这下完了…”, “面料设计!BT到极点!”对于这些所谓的难题,考生应该如何应对?其实这关乎到一个如何备考的问题,到底在考前该做怎样的准备才能保证考试中以不变应万变,沉着接招,稳操胜券?本文将来回答这个问题。
一、“硬碰硬”,真金不怕火炼
对于备考时间较长(半年或以上)的考生,XDF雅思小编建议大家本着务实求真的精神,彻彻底底将口语基础打牢。切记,口语和写作都是真正揭晓实力的两门,绝不能依仗技巧取胜。有经验的考官不会完全照读考题,而是会为你“量身定做”(Tailor-made)顺势出题,所以如果完全是所谓的技巧搭起来的空中楼阁的话,注定会不攻自破。因此,一定要充分利用这段较长的备考期,多开口,勤练习,进行实战模拟,让自己的口语有质的提高。
二、由难到易,化繁为简
一定的实力基础固然必不可少,但口语成绩的提高也不是完全没有捷径可走。聪明的考生能做到扬长避短,迎合评分要求回答,在短短的十来分钟内包装自己的语言,有更好的发挥。下面新~东方雅思小编将介绍三种化繁为简的方法,供大家参考。
雅思新题化解第一招:减少描述,增加议论
纵览各类卡片题,发现一个共同的关键词,即Describe, 如Describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you(人物题),Describe an object you use everyday(物品题),Describe a shop you often go to(地点题),Describe a family event(事件题)。很多考生会集中精力去思考如何Describe,所以在人物题中会试着用很多语言去描述外貌特征,如大大的眼睛,长长的睫毛,粉粉的脸颊,厚厚的嘴唇。
且不论该考生是否都能将这些中文描述对应的恰当英文找到,除非是口语基础相当不错的考生,不然挑这些内容去讲无疑是搬起石头砸自己的脚。
人物题还算是比较容易描述的了,那碰到物品题描述一个家用电器怎么办,如何去Describe?以a washing machine为例,我们能想到的内容可能是颜色,Its color is white. 大小,It’s one meter high. 别的似乎没什么可讲的了。这个时候就可以增加议论或评价。对于颜色,可以添加的内容是The reason why I chose this color is that it matches well with my bathroom and besides, white has always been my favorite color. It’s clean. You know. 而对于大小,也可评价一番It is actually the smallest size at that time. I put it in the corner, and it takes only a little space。
由此可见,评价性的语言通常比描述更为具体,可以看做是对前一句的补充说明或者是例证拓展。这种对于每一点信息都要给出议论的习惯一定要养成,可以使我们的说话内容顿时翻倍。
雅思新题化解第二招:变抽象为具体
很多考生觉得口语话题难,就是因为没话说,特别是看似较为抽象的话题,如Describe a success。总觉得success肯定是较为光鲜的事迹,对照自己似乎找不到素材。其实如果把success具体化,看作是successfully did sth,构思就会容易许多。
可以讲成功地网上交友、购物,与网络话题结合,可以讲成功地交到一个知心益友,与朋友话题相结合。又如part 3中的一些抽象问题,如How has technology changed people’s life? 如果单单从较高层面总的去概括科技如何改变生活会觉得语言内容上频频受限,而换个角度,如果把change具体化,举自己的家庭为例,讲起来就顺口多了。Well, technology did change our life a lot. Take my family as an example, ten years ago, we used electric fan in hot summer but now the air-conditioning brings us more comfort。
雅思口语:低分原因三大汇总
雅思口语考试低分原因1. 模仿标准答案
在最近一段时间里,已经很少有新题出现。所以大多数考生会选择去一一的准备考过的题目(主要是雅思Part 1和Part 2)。所以,我们可以看到,大多数考生在准备的时候,都会选择去找一本雅思口语的标准答案书,然后把这些答案背下来。其实,如果这样的话,分数在大多数情况下反而会更低。这主要是因为很多的标准答案的用词比较难。所以,如果考生的英语发音,英语语言的组织能力不够好的话,如果用这么难的词,考官一听就能听出来考生是事先备好的。
雅思口语考试低分原因2. 套用固定结构
现在很多考官都已经知道考生已经准备好了第二部分,所以考官会更多的把时间集中的放在第三部分,问的题目越来越难来判断考生的真实水平。在第三部分的回答时,老师建议考生套用一定的结构:第一句话,直接回答问题。很多考生喜欢绕来绕去,如果这样的话,考官会认为考生并不会回答问题,而是在拐弯抹角。第二句话,考生可以套用there be句型,可能是原因,或者情况。然后在第三,第四句话将具体的两个原因或情况进行详细阐述。最后两句话,考生可以将这个话题引到自身的经历。
雅思口语考试低分原因3. 使用难的单词
很多时候,我发现很多考生在说话的时候都会说一句或甚至几个单词的时候就卡住了。当问到是什么原因的时候,很多考生会说不会用英文表达,或者是某个单词不会说。其实,在真正的英语交流中,我们会发现很多的外教讲话时英语的用词是非常简单,这就是英语交流的精华。在真正的日常交流中,外国人并不会去追求一些难的单词,而更多的是用最简单的词汇和语法结构将自己的意思表达出来。所以,老师建议考生不要去追求用什么难的单词,而是想方设法用自己已经会的表达把意思表达清楚即可。即使是在第三部分,题目非常的难,考生也可以很好的回答其中80%的题目。
雅思口语:如何自我练习提高
雅思口语自学之一、模仿(Imitation)— 跟读是起点
要打好口语的基础,模仿是最初的一个过程。只有通过有效的模仿,考生们才能够从一开始就养成良好的发音习惯,形成正确的语音语调,培养出好的英语语感,潜移默化地接受英语思维的影响。
1. 方法
众所周知,模仿最基本的方法便是跟读。跟读的途径可以是两种:一种是听录音跟读;一种是看录像跟读。对于还处在备考初期,口语较弱的考生来说还不急于接触雅思考试的真题,不管是录音还是录像,都可以选择较简单,较实用,较生活化的材料跟读如新概念的一二册。可以对着镜子矫正自己的口型,语速由慢及快的练习。
2. 目的
① 语音语调
发音正确与否直接决定说话对象是否能领会自己所要表达的意思。英语的发音方式与汉语肯定有很大的不同,如果从一开始就不能很好地掌握英语的发音,或是形成了较为奇怪的语调,养成习惯之后就再难纠正过来。所以新东方雅思建议,从最基本的词汇开始对语音语调的训练是模仿最直接的目的。有时只听录音还不能完全了解个别发音的过程,如θ和e的音,所以通过录像来学习就可以更加直观,让发音得以完善,变得更加到位。
② 句式句型
有了单个词汇或词组的扎实基础,接下来模仿句子的步骤就会更容易进行。因为如果单词的发音准确,对于词组或句子中爆破和连读等语音技巧就能更顺利地掌握。另外对句式和句型的熟悉已经可以开始让考生慢慢接触和适应英文的思维方式和表达方式,对英文的逻辑如如何界定事物等产生一个基本的概念,这是隐形的目的。当然,在这个过程中,对句子整体语调的把握也是重点,雅思考生可以开始最基本的交流。
雅思口语自学之二、复述(Repetition)— 背诵是基础
模仿是一个长期的过程,到达一定程度以后,对于段落篇章的内容考生便可以开始练习复述。学习语言的过程与记忆密不可分,而体现记忆过程的最初形态便是背诵。
1. 背诵
对于雅思考生来说,背诵的内容仍然不一定要参考雅思题目的答案和范本,因为这仍然是一个积累词汇,巩固语法句型,培养语感及英文文法的时期。选择一些有趣的英语故事可以让背诵的过程显得不那么枯燥。而笑话作为幽默的载体更能最大限度地展现英语的逻辑思维方式。这些材料除了具体生动的内容和情节外,还有不少习语,如果能选择性地加以背诵,既能保证背诵的效率,又能掌握更多地道的表达,学会怎样用英文的方式描述事物,之后亦可以运用到雅思考试中。
背诵的故事可以由短到长,循序渐进。当然,一些生词量不大的优美诗歌或短文也是好的背诵材料。有音频的材料仍旧可以先跟读,再进行背诵,这样可以保证语音的正确性和对内容的表现力。同时,考生可以通过录音和与原声比对的方式来检查自己的背诵情况。
2. 替换
真正的复述练习并不等于背诵,背诵只是复述的一种最基本的形态。记忆好的东西要懂得灵活地运用,这也是考生们在考试的时候最需要明白的一点。在背诵的基础上,考生们可以练习对已有内容中的词汇甚至是句型表达进行替换。用不同的方式表达同样的意思,这才是复述所要达到的目的。
①词汇和句型替换
词汇和句型的替换是相对简单的。在考生们对自己的单词库和句型库做足储备时,这样的替换练习便可以开始了。如“重要”的表达除了“important”还有“significant”, “crucial”, “critical”…主动的句型可以改为被动或“There be …”等等。
②意义替换
意义的替换指不拘泥于简单的词汇和句型等形式上的改写,而是将内容用其他的方式加以说明或呈现。如考生可以借鉴电影《勇敢的心》(Brave Heart)来呈现出对勇敢、信念的表达。这才称得上是真正的“换言之”。
雅思口语自学之三、原创(Creation)— 即兴是根本
许多雅思口语考官其实常建议考生不需要刻意准备题目,他们最希望的是考生能够随心所欲地与自己沟通。确实,考官反感机械地记忆和回答,更不喜欢看到考生一边说话一边翻白眼。雅思考生在搜寻自己记忆的同时也失去了考官的信任和好感。过度地依赖自己的记忆还容易偏题离题。所以,有了以上模仿和复述的两步积累,雅思考生在备考雅思话题时就应完全摒弃所谓真题的参考答案和答题模板。
首先,话题当然要熟悉,准备一定要原创。曾经考过的话题考生一定要了解,如果是本就比较容易谈论的话题,要能根据问题的核心内容理清回答的基本思路;如果话题较为生僻,则应该多角度多层面地去思考问题,不仅要有清晰的思路,还要将内容进一步丰富。
平时准备的内容就一定要有原创性,这也是考试时“即兴”的根本保障。说到即兴,便是考生们在考场上要带给考官的感觉,也就是能与考官充分互动,不死记硬背,自然流利的表现。有了前面的基础和原创的非即兴内容,只要考场上加以灵活运用,自由发挥,考生便能以最自然的状态让考官感受到自己的特色与创意,给考官留下深刻的印象。
