在雅思考试中,口语部分让中国考生十分头疼,雅思口语更成为多少烤鸭们拿到高分的拦路虎。其实,要想让自己的雅思口语变得洋气起来,我们要学会运用口语技巧或者地道表达方式。
雅思口语技巧1:转折用though替换but
当你想说but来转折语气,不妨忍一下,然后在句子后面加个though,立马瞬间洋气了许多!例如:
Our team lost. It was a good game, though。
Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different, though。
雅思口语技巧2:多用副词
例如exactly, basically, really这些副词可以加强或者缓和语气,更准确的表达我们的真实想法。例如:
That's exactly what I want!
Where are you going exactly?
So basically, there's not a lot I can do about it。
The more expensive articles are not necessarily better。’
雅思口语技巧3:使用从句增色语言
使用简单不易出错的同位语从句,例如:
People are now aware of the fact that many restaurants are not that hygienic。
Despite the fact that she was wearing a seat belt, she was thrown sharply forward。
雅思口语技巧4:强调句式用起来,增加语法的广度
例如礼物类话题的万年句式:
It doesn't matter how expensive the gift is, it's the thought that matters。
雅思口语技巧5:用tend to替换most of
当你想说most of… 的时候,不妨改口成tend to,词汇量有没有显得多一些!例如:
Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out. 就可以说成Chinese people tend to cook at home.
雅思口语技巧6:避免过多使用very
口语答案里面呢,要有意识的尽可能抛弃very,一种方法是用pretty替代,另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。例如:
That performance was pretty impressive。
I'm pretty sure about that。
还有instead of saying “very angry”, you can use the word “furious”。
那同理,如果我们想表达a little + adj.,也可以找到相应的更传神的形容词,例如:tipsy = a little drunk
雅思口语技巧7:形容词前加副词
这也是不错的应急措施哦,如果实在想不到高大上的形容词了,就用一个副词来加强一下情感,例如:
She's shockingly beautiful。
It's an outrageously expensive meal。
雅思口语技巧8:避免生硬地说NO
同学们在回答考官问题的时候,其实自己也觉得说个No很伤感情,那怎么能用比较不伤感情的语言表达同样的意思呢,下面的几句可以记一下:
-Does your school have diving classes?
-Not that I'm aware of, no。
(至少)我不知道。(潜台词:可能有,不过我不知道。)
-Have you ever had the experience when you watched the sky for a long time?
-Not that I can think of, no。
我想不到。(潜台词:可能有,不过我暂时想不到,暂时记不起来。)
-Do you love nature?
-Well, not really. I'm more of an indoor person。
注意,每一个yes or no之后,一定要加原因哦!
雅思口语技巧9:考场上“mean”要用起来
“I mean”可以用来解释刚刚自己抛出去的话,比如,在解释自己最不喜欢的电影的时候可以说:
That movie was so boring, I mean, nothing happened for the first hour!
这个也可以有很灵活的变体:and by… I mean…,比如:
He has a gorgeous wife, and by wife I mean mistress. (此例子完全为了解释用法…)
“You mean…?”该句式是为了跟考官check information,如果你不想用“I'm sorry?”来让考官重复问题,你完全可以用它来确定一下自己的理解是否跟考官的问题吻合。
注意:一般这样问,是已经理解了八九不离十,如果真的完全没听懂问题,请用以下句式:
Sorry, I didn't quite catch it. 不好意思没听清,能在重复一下子不?
Sorry, could you slow down, please? 不好意思您能把语速放慢点儿不?
Sorry, can you rephrase the question, please? 不好意思您能解释一下刚才的问题不?(就是问题里面有生词,此时无论考官repeat几遍问题,你也不可能懂,所以需要麻烦他rephrase改述一下问题)
