浅谈雅思口语备考中的四大误区

　　雅思口语的备考,考生们大多经历过迷茫时期，那么雅思口语如何提高?为什么考来考去都只有那么点分?其实大家在备考雅思口语的时候首先需要避开几个误区，这里小编就和大家分享快速突破雅思口语的四大技巧。

　　01 句子不要太长，语速不要过快

　　很多同学在口语考试中遇到自己准备过的话题，或者紧张的时候，就容易出现说话不断句，语速越来越快的问题，其实并不是语速快、句子长就能显示出你的英语口语很好。

　　相反，雅思口语考试是一个和考官交流的过程，交流最重要的就是能让考官很好地听懂、听明白你所要表达的意思。不要试图说太长的句子，以简单句为主，然后使用一些简单的连接词把这些简单句连起来。

　　为大家分享一些实用连词：

　　并列关系：

　　首先：Firstly, First of all, What I want to mention firstly is that…, To start with, To begin with, For one thing, My first point is that…

　　其次：Secondly, In the next place, Moreover, My second point (reason) is that….

　　第三：Thirdly, furthermore, Besides

　　最后：In the end, Finally, Lastly, In the end, My last point (reason) is that…, Last but not the least

　　因果关系：

　　最简单的就是so, because, 如果想避免重复，使自己的回答更加出彩，我们还可以使用这些：due to, because of, owing to, thanks to, as a result of, inconsequence of, on account of, in view of, hence, therefore, thus, accordingly和consequently.

　　让步和转折关系：

　　Although, though, regardless of, even if, even though, as long as, despite, however, in spite of, instead, nevertheless, on the contrary, otherwise, though, while, yet.

　　递进关系：

　　not only…but also, as well(as), at the same time, besides, furthermore, in addition(to), like wise, moreover, worse still.

　　对比关系：

　　On the other hand, while, whereas, in contrast, on the contrary.

　　我们一起来看一道例题: Do men and women like the same hobbies?5分考生可能会这样回答：

　　No, I think men and women like different hobbies.

　　Men like playing computer games, or doing sports activities such as football and basketball. Women like watching TV, shopping, going to a karaoke bar and chatting on line.

　　这样的回答最大的问题就是结构，表面上看上去是把男人和女人的爱好进行对比，但其实只是分别进行了罗列，没有什么逻辑性。我们可以尝试用上面总结的连接词重新组织出这样的答案：

　　Well, certainly there are a few differences.

　　The first difference is the outdoor activities. I mean, men are fond of doing sports activities like football and basketball. In contrast, women prefer going shopping for clothes and shoes.

　　Another distinction is the TV programs they watch. For instance, men are quite into action movies. By comparison, women are more likely to watch soap operas.

　　用了the first, another这样的并列关系词和in contrast, by comparison这样的对比关系词，整个答案的结构和逻辑性都清晰了很多，口语分数自然会提高。

　　02 替换常用表达

　　很多烤鸭在备考口语中可能会走入一个误区，认为口语一定要说高大上的词才能得高分。其实有些难词的语境并不适合，口语中重要的是用不同的方式表达你的意思。

　　比如：Well, certainly there are a few differences.

　　The first difference is the outdoor activities. I mean, men are fond of doing sports activities like football and basketball. In contrast, women prefer going shopping for clothes and shoes.

　　Another distinction is the TV programs they watch. For instance, men are quite into action movies. By comparison, women are more likely to watch soap operas.

　　我们还是来看这个修改过的高分答案，表达“喜欢、喜爱”这个意思，我们没有使用单调的like, love, 而是使用be fond of, prefer, be quite into这样相对高级但也很常用的表达, 表达可能性使用了be likely to…的结构，这样的替换结构可以让口语不那么千篇一律，体现出你对语言灵活的掌握!

　　所以建议大家多多积累一些常用的替换表达，让你的内容也变得更加丰富，在词汇多样性这个标准上也可以取得好成绩。

　　03 掌握一些实用结构

　　明明积累了很多口语素材，可是到表达的时候就词穷了，会说的句型就是那么几个，或者是考前背了一些高级的结构表达，考场上却因为句型不熟而导致卡壳。所以说还是要掌握一些简单实用的表达结构，才能更加有机会取得高分!这里和大家分享一些实用结构：

　　描述作用：

　　1.Sth. enable(s) sb. to do

　　E.g. The smartphone enables us to contact with our friends.

　　2. Sth. allow(s) sb. to do

　　E.g. The smartphone allows us to contact with our friends.

　　3. With the help of sth...we can...

　　E.g. With the help of smartphone, we can freely contact with our friends.

　　4. Sth. help(s) sb. (to) do

　　E.g. The smartphone helps us to contact with our friends whenever we want.

　　描述听：

　　1.I hear(常用过去时，表示听过)

　　E.g. I heard her voice.

　　2. I hear of /about (hear of/about 表听说)

　　E.g. We frequently hear about these types of reports.

　　3. Sound

　　E.g. This sounds impossible.

　　4. Sound like

　　E.g. However, I do not want to sound like a Hollywood actor accepting an award.

　　描述看：

　　1.Look

　　3. I noticed that....

　　E.g. I noticed that most academics were writing papers during the summer.

　　描述想法：

　　1. I think / believe / suppose....

　　2. Think of

　　E.g. What do you think of her?

　　描述感觉和性质：

　　1.It is + adj. + for sb to do sth

　　E.g. It is a great pleasure for me to attend this meeting.

　　2. It is + adj. + that + 句子

　　E.g. It is impossible that she brings a gift to you.

　　E.g. I am dissatisfied with the current solution.

　　3. I am unhappy with…

　　1.I can’t wait to do sth

　　E.g. I can’t wait to join the football team.

　　2. I am looking forward to doing sth

　　E.g. I am looking forward to joining the football team.

　　04 适当地运用地道的英语表达

　　除了口语表达和连接词，我们当然还需要掌握一些地道的英语表达和习惯，不仅能让我们的口语更自然贴近生活，而且还是口语考试中的加分项哦!比如：

　　▪ 为了使自己的内容不要听起来过于苍白，我们可以加一些例子使自己的内容听起来更加丰富，常见的举例方法有：like, such as, take...for example, in some cases, and stuff like that, and things like that, or something like that.

　　▪ 停顿的时候，用well, eh, um, 或者you know，占位。当你需要转移话题，或转换一个角度，或者遇上难题，需要一点思考时间又不想冷场的时候，试试这些表达“谈及、谈到、关于”的词组：speaking of, talking about, when it comes to, as far as s concerned, as regards, regarding.

　　▪ 用 flick/flicks 代替film/movie.

　　▪ 用“a smash hit”代替popular表达“某东西很火”，smash作动词用是打碎的意思，这个比较常考，但在口语中经常用到它形容词词义，表示极为成功的。

　　▪ the name of the game 问题的实质;最为重要的方面;事情的根本目标”。

　　最后，我们再来看一个高分答案：

　　Describe a useful website that you like to visit.

　　Ok, well the first website that came to mind when I saw this topic was Taobao, which is the Chinese equivalent of eBay.com. There's a huge range of stuff you can buy on this website. One of the best things about this website is that the prices are generally a lot cheaper than in the shops. I mainly go on it to buy things like clothes…

　　I know that shopping online can be quite risky, because the product often isn't as good as it looks on the website, but if you do enough research, such as read the customer reviews of the product you're thinking of buying, then I think you can avoid this kind of thing happening to you, because you’ll be able to get an idea of how reliable the supplier is.

　　在这个答案中，我们使用了well, stuff等地道又口语化的表达，同时也用到了很多连接词如one of, but, such as, because等，让整个回答听起来更有层次和逻辑性。A huge range of, get an idea of 等这些高分替换表达也是回答中的亮点!
