雅思口語考試時(shí),大多數(shù)烤鴨都會因?yàn)榫o張出現(xiàn)很多平時(shí)練習(xí)雅思口語時(shí)不會出現(xiàn)的失誤。很多烤鴨在私下與朋友練習(xí)雅思口語時(shí)侃侃而談,然而一上考場回答問題就立刻心慌氣短,大腦一片空白,一張嘴就詞窮,好不容易憋出一兩句話,還要被追問一句"Why?" 自我感覺非常可憐弱小又無助。所以今天我們就來聊一聊如何增加口語表達(dá)的細(xì)節(jié),解決那些雅思口語考試中的問題!
官方解釋Fluency and coherence
官方在對Fluency and coherence的解釋里,給出了這樣一條提分建議:Build on your point of view by adding a few details.
(雅思官方關(guān)于Fluency and coherence的建議)
并給出了一個(gè)范例:
Q: What do you do?
A: I'm a teacher.
A: I have been a high school mathematics teacher in New York for over 5 years.
相比個(gè)回答,第二個(gè)回答明顯給出了更多的細(xì)節(jié):high school, mathematics, New York, 5 years。這些細(xì)節(jié)讓整個(gè)回答更豐富、詳盡,同時(shí)也更能展現(xiàn)出考生的口語能力("is willing to speak at length"是 "Fluency and coherence" 6分 對應(yīng)的要求之一)。
那么如何增加細(xì)節(jié)呢?
增加細(xì)節(jié)的方法之一是:往具體了說。
例1:How did you spend your last Saturday?
大部分人給的答案都類似這樣的:Well, I just stayed at home and did some housework.
但是"stay at home"是個(gè)很籠統(tǒng)、概括的說法,宅在家里也會做很多具體的事,賴個(gè)床(get up late)、做個(gè)飯(make breakfast/brunch)、洗個(gè)衣服(do the laundry)、追個(gè)劇(binge watch ...)、跟朋友聊會兒天(exchange some chitchat about ...)、無聊刷個(gè)微博朋友圈(mindlessly scroll on social media)······都屬于stay at home。
有人同樣不咋出門,她是這樣回憶自己的一天的:
舉一反三,我們可以具體說說自己是怎么度過某一天的:
Well, as a late sleeper, I got up at around 10 o'clock and made brunch for myself. Then I did the laundry while bing-watching a popular reality show. In the afternoon, I exchanged some chitchat about the show with my friend. And in the evening, I killed some time by mindlessly scrolling on social media. In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other Saturday.
例2:Are you a tidy person?
大部分人給的答案都類似這樣的:No, I'm not this kind of person, because sometimes I mess up my room.
"mess up my room"同樣是個(gè)比較籠統(tǒng)、概括的說法,衣服不收拾、鞋子?xùn)|一只西一只、書桌很亂、東西隨手放,都會讓房間看起來比較雜亂,你是哪一種呢?
不愛收拾房間的大有人在,對此,潔癖黨表示有話要說:
關(guān)于房間是否整潔,兩人在互相吐槽中提到的具體細(xì)節(jié)有:餐盤(a tray of flatware)放沙發(fā)上、咖啡桌上亂得像線下閑魚交易現(xiàn)場(like a tiny garage sale)、給所有東西分類(sort ... by ...)/整理(organize vt.)/貼標(biāo)簽(label vt.),需要重新整理(straighten up vi.)、分門別類給衣服排序(organize vt.)
記住這些具體的例子,就可以自信地來聊聊自己是否是個(gè)愛整潔的人了:
No, I'm not this kind of person, and most of the time my room is a little messy. I'm so used to putting clothes on the couch when I'm home, and it rarely occurs to me that I should sort or organize things in my bedroom. I just dislike straightening up.
最后總結(jié)一下方法,那就是盡量避免過于籠統(tǒng)的表述,凡事說具體些,細(xì)節(jié)自然就有了,就達(dá)到"is willing to peak at length"這一要求了。
以上就是讓雅思口語的表達(dá)變得具有細(xì)節(jié)的方法了,希望烤鴨們都可以早與雅思分手。還想了解其他關(guān)于雅思備考的小技巧,請多多關(guān)注培頓 教育網(wǎng)站,還可戳對話框免費(fèi)領(lǐng)取雅思題庫哦!
