雅思考试中,口语一直以来就是中国学生的“软肋”和 “短板”,对于口语基础比较薄弱的学生而言,其实通过一些雅思口语基础句型或表达的练习,是比较能在短时间内提升自己的雅思口语分数,例如所谓的一些考场 “套话”可以帮助烤鸭在回答问题或独自陈述时自然的过度并有效的避免尴尬.
考生经常会遇到听不懂考官所提问题或者对所提问题似懂非懂或不熟悉,这时候不应该“死要面子活受罪”而是应该迅速反应,请考官重复或者转述问题,便可使用如下表达:
1. If I understand right,…
2. I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean (that)…?
3. Sorry I don’t quite catch you. You mean…?
4. I’m not exactly sure how to answer that question, but (perhaps)…
5. That’s a rather difficult question, but (maybe)…
6. Could you please rephrase that question / topic?
有时考生在回答part 1和part 3的时候,对考官所提问题或某个话题进行评价以便顺利衔接自己的答案可以使用如下句型:
1. Maybe I can answer your question by telling you about a personal experience I had.
2. That’s an interesting question…let me see. Well, I suppose that…
3. Yes, that’s a big issue.
另外,考生在句子及观点衔接时往往会因思考时间过长而出现很多空白,或者使用汉语中表示迟疑的词“嗯…”来衔接,这些都是会影响流利度和连贯性,那如何克服这一困难,不会在回答时遇到“卡壳”呢,请放心大胆的使用这些词组吧:
1. Well,…
2. Actually,…
3. In fact,…
4. You see,…
5. You know,…
6. How shall I put it,…
7. Let me think for a second,…
8. Give me a few seconds,…
如果考生在表达完某一观点却发觉并不完善时,需要用更多的语言去解释,那么掌握换种方式重述观点的衔接句就很必要了:
1. In other words, I am…
2. And that means…
3. Let me put it another way,…
4. What I’m suggesting is…
5. All I’m trying to say is…
6. What I’m getting at is…
7. If I can rephrase that,…
8. Perhaps I should make that clearer by saying…
9. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say…
最后,当考生全部回答完毕,并认为没有更多信息可以补充时,可以向考官发出“我已回答完毕”的信号,如:
1. I’m afraid that’s about as much as I know.
2. I think that’s all.
3. I can’t think of anything else right now…
4. Is there anything else you wish to know?
希望以上基础又实用的考场表达可以帮助烤鸭们在考场上实现“”, “屠鸭”成功,但平时的积累和多加练习才是更重要的一部分。
