这次小编在这里给大家整理了到底什么是雅思口语变题期呢(共含6篇),供大家阅读参考。同时,但愿您也能像本文投稿人“释郁亭下仙”一样,积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
首先来看人物类,人物类一直属于题库中相对容易且好准备的题目。所以其实必备题目并不多,建议大家人物类只要准备好三个题目就没有太大问题,分别是describe an old person(描述一个老年人),describe a teenager/friend(描述一个青少年或者朋友)以及describe a famous person(描述一个名人)。那么这三个题目如何应用在口语题库中的所有题目中,我们具体来看。题库中现在在考得describe a person you want to spend time with,我们用老年人或者朋友都可以。Describe a comedy actor这一最近的热门题目,我们就可以和名人结合。再比如让我们描述一个邻居,我们也完全可以和青少年或者老人题目结合。
地点题,建议大家必备类型为,describe a house/apartment(描述一个房子),describe a city(描述一个城市),describe a garden(描述一个花园),describe a restaurant(描述一个餐厅)。选择准备的为describe a country(描述一个国家)。这一类题目通用性较强。例如,口语中以前考察的describe a room就可以由房子一题变过来。
再如,描述一个餐厅,描述一个购物中心以及描述一个咖啡厅,整体内容和结构是类似的,都是描述在哪里,吃什么(卖什么,喝什么),怎么知道的以及为什么喜欢。且喜欢的理由都可以类似,基本可以总结为1. Good service 2. Convenient location 3. Economical/ have a reasonable price 4. Comfortable environment and atmosphere等。描述花园一题,可以用于describe a peaceful place,describe a place near water甚至做一些改变,就可以用于describe a tourist attraction一题当中。
通过这两个类型的分析,不难发现,人物类和地点类其实并不需要太多准备,更重要的是要学会举一反三,灵活运用。下一次,我们会对物品及事件类问题进行整理分析,看看有哪些题目是不管什么时候备考雅思口语都要准备的。
什么是雅思口语变题期
雅思口语话题数量上part1一般稳定在30个左右,part2一直稳定在50个左右。雅思考试有一个“1、5、9”的说法,在每年的1月、5月、9月雅思口语会进入换题季。雅思口语大概有20%-30%的旧题需要被换掉。这个规律其实对于雅思口语来讲尤其重要。因为雅思口语考试有这样一个硬性规定,就是在雅思考试过程当中,考官向你问的第一部分和第二部分,题目必须出自同一个固定的题库。这样,同学们可以根据题库内容来准备题目。
在变题期有同学之前对新题没有准备看到题目就慌乱了。其实,在雅思口语考试中,很多题目都是相通的,同学们可以由自己之前积累的题目联想到下一个新题目,或者由老题素材变换花样用于新题中。
在备考方面,语言功底扎实、雅思临场经验丰富的考生,受变题的影响不会太大,但想要冲高分还是会有一些阻碍;对于英语实力不够强、以背题为主要策略的考生就需要提高警惕了,因为大量新题的出现会大大降低遇到熟题的几率。
不过,考生也不必太恐慌,雅思口语出题终归还是有规律可循,只要掌握正确的备考方法与应试技巧,下半年的雅思口语考试依然可以安全通关。按照口语的出题规律,新题出现后,较之旧题重复利用率会比较高,因此今年上半年出现的新题有很大机会会在下半年反复出现提醒考生还要注意隔年不出的旧题,比如与动物相关的题目。要注意近期雅思考试的考情动态,尤其是老师的押题。

五月雅思口语变题怎么办?
首先,雅思考试有着1、5、9月变题的说法。即每到上述这三个月,雅思题目,尤其是雅思口语题目会进行较大更换,有三分之一的口语老题会被换掉,由大家未准备过的题目取代。同样的,1-4月,5-8月,9-12月,题目内容会相对稳定,同学们根据语料库的内容准备就可以了。
但如果不幸报了变题期的考试如何应对?
首先要正视一个问题,变题期不可怕。并不是遇到变题期就天塌地陷要改期。有的同学遇到变题期一样考7,有的同学简单题还是5.5。变题只针对用语料并对语料准备充足的同学,如果根本不依靠语料。那变题其实并没有任何影响。
围绕语料库复习口语的同学,建议按照1-4月语料库准备。因为每次换题只轮换20%-30%的题目,也就是还有70%的旧题。雅思考试前抓住这些旧题就有了七成的把握。相比于千百道题中分散准备,这个题库概率已经不言而喻了。
另外,雅思口语话题有迹可循。
每次准备N多话题是无法短期内应对考试的。如何解决?老师们曾不止一次强调,雅思口语话题可以分类准备。每次准备30-40话题,将这些衍生。比如人物类话题,1-4月的雅思口语是A teenager you know.这个话题可以和其他人物类话题整合。1-4月还有其他话题:A beautiful or handsome person, A person you like to work or study with, A person who is trying to protect the environment这些话题综合来看其实可以用一个语料搞定。身边的少年可以是漂亮的,保护环境的,你喜欢接触的。准备一个人物向任何方向延伸,都可以得到想要的口语答案。这样整合的语料可以应对不同题目,同时也可以应对考场上旧题翻新的内容。
雅思口语考官谈中国考生的口语短板
雅思口语考官谈中国考生的口语短板为你带来担任过雅思口语考官的Andrew分析的中国考生在雅思口语考试中的弱点。雅思口语考试是中国考生最头疼的科目之一。且中国考生的口语平均分数在每年的雅思白皮书中,常位列各国下位。这到底是什么原因呢?我们来听听Andrew怎么说。
“我雅思口语考得不错,可为什么就是得不了高分?”这是不少学生常问的一个问题。记者采访到了担任了5年雅思口语考官Andrew。他说,这样的问题他也听到了一些。有的学生说,他平时和外教吃饭,聊天,逛街都没问题,可雅思口语分数就是不高。首先他想说一下,雅思考试的目的是为了让学生到国外后能很好的学习和生活。不仅是简单的对话,需要学生能回答一些深层次的问题,有一定逻辑思考能力。那种只会背书的学生,是得不了高分的。记者本想让Andrew来预测一下今年雅思口语考试,他对此笑而不答。他说,当了五年雅思口考官,他倒是很有兴趣来谈谈中国学生雅思口语中存在的问题。
只会背书不会得高分
Andrew说,做了五年的雅思口语考官,他发现中国学生在回答问题时,太爱寻找标准答案。比如说,学生一进门,他一般都会说:Howareyou?但相当一部分学生都只会答“Fine,thank you,and you?多一句话都不会说。Andrew说有一次,他一个上午考了十多个考生,每个人都这么回答案第一个问题,于是他有意对后面的那个考生这样问道,Today is very cold.How are you?可得到的回答依然是Fine,thank you,and you?事后他向他的中国朋友说起此事,他的中国朋友说:“这没什么错,中国的课本上就是这么写的。”他听后觉得很不能理解。他说,考官希望学生在回答问题时,能表现出每个学生不同的思维方式,展示出每个学生的个性,而不要只会背书。不要让考官一听到学生回答的第一个问题,心中已经知道该给他几分了。他认为口语考试就是一个学生表现自己的舞台,希望每一个考生都是一个好演员。
学会观察有自己的思维
很多学生在回答问题时,没有自己的观点,有时就是有,也不会寻找到可以支持自己论点的内容。比如说,有一道考得较多的问题“中国近来的教育有多少变化?”有的学生会直接说,“不知道。”还有的学生会说:“平时功课就够多了,根本没有时间看电视,看报纸。”还有的同学会说:“变化很大。”但根本找不出什么理由来证明这个论点。Andrew说,其实回答这个问题很简单,只要谈谈当时自己父母受教育的情况,再和自己现在受教育的情况比较一下,这就是一个很好的例子。学生要会观察生活,从平时的小事中去寻找答案。
Andrew说,学生在对问题进行讨论时,有相当一部分学生只会背书,没有逻辑性,不知道如何表扬,或批评一个事物,不懂得如何发表自己的观点,并去论证它。没有个性,没有自己独立思想的学生是得不了高分的。Andrew还谈到,现在有的学生会对他说,口语考试中的这些深层次的问题,别说是用英语,就是用中文也说不明白,平时想都没想过,也没功夫想。他建议,学生平时还是要多看,看读,多思考,有一定的积累。这不光是为了考试,今后到国外去读书,去论证一个事情,这种功课是很多的。
表达流利不要长停顿
在雅思口语考试中,特别在第三部分,由于一些问题比较难,考生需边考虑边作答。在这种情况下,出现适当的停顿,是完全正常的。即便是在回答别人提出的中文问题时,一般也是需要一些时间来整理思路和语言的。
然而,如果回答问题过程中出现过长和过于频繁的停顿,肯定反映出考生的对问题的分析理解能力和语言表达能力的欠缺,这些的确会对考生的考试结果造成负面影响。Andrew说,有的学生平时对话时都是讲一些简单的句子,复杂的句式很少用。可是在考试时又想到要用,所以会说得很慢。这就需要平时多练,不打无准备之仗。
以上就是雅思口语考官谈中国考生的口语短板的全部内容,我们可以看出中国考生在雅思口语考试中之所以难以考出高分成绩,不仅仅是由于平时的哑巴英语的教育,也是应为未形成独立思考和对问题进行思辨的习惯。因此,要想提高雅思口语成绩,并不仅仅是背一背别人写的满分范文这么简单一回事.
面对雅思口语考官总说错话怎么办?
复习雅思口语的时候,大家总会认为语法是一件枯燥、困难的事,但对于雅思口语考试而言,这是至关重要的。
我们可以将语法比作一个房子的内部结构:也许并不是总能看到它,但是它却是撑起整个房子基础。和建房一样,我们也无法构造“空中楼阁”。也就是说,没有良好地运用基本的语法,就不可能构建起复杂的语法结构、表达抽象的意思,也更别说在考试中取得高分。
而作为一枚资深英语学习者,在一开始备考雅思似乎没有必要集中精力去纠正一般过去时、现在时和将来时。但是,我们必须记住:英文与中文不一样,英语句子必须要通过语法变化反映出时态概念。这是最为基本的规则,也正因为这一点在入门时强调过以后甚少提起,很容易被遗忘,因此很少有人在口语表达中能够做到时态使用完全正确。
但必须注意的是,在给定的时间场景下正确使用时态至关重要。只有做到这一点,才能够做到自然顺畅的沟通,别人也就不费力气地理解你说话的内容。
对于英语口语,每个人都有独特的优势和缺点,但是在基本英语时态的掌握上,大家似乎都不尽如人意。就连那些词汇量大、口语流利的学霸级烤鸭也不例外,也常常因为不能准确地驾驭不同的动词时态,这导致他们在口语部分无法得高分。
让我们一起看看那些年曾经犯过的时态错误。
雅思口语错误场景1 “定力不足”
无法保持足够的注意,整个口语表达中连贯使用同样的时态。
其实,在说话的一开始,我的时态运用还是比较准确的。
例如:
“When I was a child…”
可是说着说着,不知不觉就不再继续使用同样的时态了,于是故事就变成了下面这个样子:
“…I often play outside with my friends.”
雅思口语错误场景2 “千篇 一律”
过分依赖熟悉的易于使用的结构,表达缺乏多样性或灵活性。
一个单词,一种时态是不能够走遍天下的。比如使用“will”造句的一般将来时,而这种结构并不能用来讨论各种不同的时段。
例如:
“I am a college student. Every day I will have many classes.”
雅思口语错误场景3 “急于求成”
滚瓜烂熟各种复杂的结构和句式,但将它们组合使用时却错误百出。
比如,常常能听到一句高难度的虚拟语气组合的漂亮:
“If I had the chance, I would prefer to visit the beach.”
当你正期待接下来的好词好句时,却听到:
“because in my hometown there have many mountain.”
你是不是也存在相同的问题呢?
其实,对于大多数备考雅思的同学而言,只要不放弃,不断精进自己的知识就可以轻而易举地纠正上面所提到的所有错误。关键还是要吸收已经学过的知识,并且能够正确地运用。说起来这最简单也最困难,奥秘就在于培养自我意识,从点滴细节处注意自己的口语,发现弱点,然后逐个击破。
给大家分享几个方法可以尝试。
首先,正确认识问题是最为重要的。那么问题又来了,如何自查呢?
录音是一个百试不爽的好方法:在日常进行雅思口语练习中录下自己的讲话,尝试换位思考,从考官的角度重复听自己的录音能够让我们挑出自己所犯的错误,从而确定需要加强练习的地方。
当和别人进行对话练习时,我们也可以有意识地轮流互相注意检查对方的讲话,记录下最为常见的顽固性错误。这样做,一举两得,既可以锻炼听力,还有助于培养把握细节、边听边写的听力技巧。
一旦我们找到自己的弱项,此时就可以进入练习的第二阶段:有针对性的突破,从特定方面逐步地提高自己的能力。
与重复练习动词形式和固定词句的做法相比,在注意语法结构的基础上灵活回答问题的做法更为奏效。
比如,你可以进行一个两分钟左右的“Part 2”练习,在整个练习过程中集中精神注意恰当地使用语法形态。重要的是要练习各种不同的话题和时态,并且始终要关注语法的准确运用。通过在和其他小伙伴练习时不断地录音或记录笔记,学习者可以密切观察自己的进步状况,并发现需要进一步注意的地方。
当你实际参加考试时就会发现,在雅思口语考试中,几乎所有问题和主题都可以参考特定时态进行表达。往往在考官的提问中就已经告诉你在表达观点时应该使用相关的语法结构。对于考官而言,这说明考生在语法方面基础牢靠,有能力进行更复杂的讨论。
纠正时态是一个漫长的过程,刚开始阶段可能需要特别留意,相信随着时间推移,习惯成自然,加强练习,这将开始变成一种自然流露的结果。
通过这种方法,我们打下牢固的基础,这不仅仅可以使我们在雅思口试中取得更高的分数,也可以提高用英语沟通的能力。

雅思口语part2范文:Memory
1.Do you think memory is important?
Yes, I do. If we couldn’t remember certain things, life would be very awkward and difficult. Our memories hold a lot of important information we use all the time, every day, just to live.
2.Do you think it's important to have a good memory?
It can certainly help make things easier. If you can remember things easily and not forget them it can be very beneficial. Activities such as studying and learning seem much easier.
3.What are some of the benefits of having a good memory?
I guess some people think you are maybe more intelligent, or certainly smarter than most people, especially if you have an excellent memory and can remember everything. It can help you avoid embarrassing social situations if you never forget someone’s birthday, or if you don’t forget people’s names when you haven’t seen them for a long time.
4.Are there any things that are especially important for people to memorize?
I suppose it depends on the situation. Everything is important to some people. I mean… most people get upset if their friends or someone close forgets their birthday or a special occasion like an anniversary.
5.Do you think having a good memory is important for students?
Well, it certainly helps, doesn’t it? I mean it’s so much easier to remember all those facts, or formulas or information or whatever it is you’re studying. It can save a lot of time if you can just recall most things you need in an instant and not have to review your books or look it up again each time you some information.
雅思口语part3话题范文:Music
1. What kinds of music are suitable for children? Why?
idea:欢快活泼(upbeat/cheerful/lively),朗朗上口的(catchy)旋律
reason:这样的旋律学起来很容易,也让孩子们开心(cheer them up),他们可以快乐地跟着音乐唱跳(sing/dance to the music)
example:Gangnam Style是韩国流行音乐(K-Pop),歌词也听不懂,可是孩子也喜欢,就因为其旋律很好被孩子接受(well-received among children)
idea:歌曲主题(themes/subjects)贴近孩子生活,歌词(lyrics)简单
reason:歌词很生动(vivid),有画面感(have pictures/images in mind),更容易吸引孩子们的注意力(draw their attention),并引起他们共鸣(relate to)
example:两只老虎,小燕子,小兔子乖乖等经典(classic)童谣都是以孩子们喜欢的动物为主题
sample answer:
Well, I’m no expert on this, but I suppose one of the most important thing is the melody should be upbeat and catchy. Kids are always happy, so naturally they’d love music that cheers them up. On top of that, most children can’t handle complicated melody, what they need is something simple and memorable, so they can sing and dance to it easily and happily. Another thing I guess is the lyrics should be about subjects children can relate to. For example, the little ones normally adore songs about animals.
推荐词汇
I’m no expert on this. 我并非这方面的专家
2. Do you think people’s tastes in music will change as they get older?
idea:同意,会改变
reason:人的一生有机会接触到(get exposed to)不同的音乐类型(music genres),然后就会喜欢上(fall in love with)一种新的音乐;又或者是跟个性特点(characteristics/personal traits)有关,年轻人精力充沛(energetic/enthusiastic),喜欢追求刺激(look for thrill/excitement),因此更容易跟动感的(dynamic)流行音乐产生共鸣,而随着年纪和经历(life experience)的增长,很多人的个性变得温和沉稳(calm),这样的心态更容易接受古典音乐(classical music)或者交响乐(symphony)这样的类型
example:很多人年轻的时候痴迷于(be crazy about)摇滚乐(rock music),觉得非常热血沸腾(thrilling/energizing),然而等年纪增长以后就失去兴趣,觉得这种类型太嘈杂(noisy),甚至听了身体都会不舒服
idea:不改变
reason:因为热爱,人们对于一种事物的热情不会衰减(the passion never fades)
example:我的伯伯是个死忠的爵士粉(a diehard Jazz fan)
sample answer:
Well, I think my answer is yes and no. On the one hand, people have lots of chances to get exposed to different types of music at different stages of life, so it’s very likely that they will find something that fascinates them, and their tastes in music will change. On the other hand, people just love what they liked in their youth, and his/her passion for a certain genre just never fades. Take my uncle for example, he’s been a diehard Jazz fan all his life. He just can’t get enough of it.
3. Has Chinese music been influenced by western music?
肯定有影响(definitely/absolutely)-全球化(globalization)不断推进,加之网络的推波助澜(with the help of the internet),我国人民可以与世界人民同步(keep up with the global trend),有机会听到来自西方的音乐,影响是难以避免(inevitable)的,尤其是流行音乐-西方国家有很多才华横溢的(talented/gifted)音乐人,他们激励了(inspire)我国的音乐人,同时西方音乐在音乐类型,创意(creativity/innovation),技术(techniques)等各方面都有很多值得我们学习的地方-当前国内的流行音乐深受西方影响(have a big impact on),有很多西方音乐的元素(element),比如像是饶舌(rap)。
sample answer:
Yeah, definitely! It’s almost impossible to not get influenced, thanks to globalization, and I think it’s fair to say that pop music in particular has learned the most from western music. There are so many truly talented musicians in western countries, and they have inspired Chinese musicians tremendously. Nowadays you can see lots of western elements added into our pop songs. For example, rap is all the age these days in my country, and the younger generation just love it. They think it’s cool and fun.
推荐词汇
all the rage,大行其道,很受欢迎
4. Shopping malls and shops often play background music. Can you suggest why they do that?
这是重要的营销手段(marketing tool),而且非常有效(effective)-音乐是很有力量的(powerful and magical),可以影响人们的心情(have an effect on/affect people’ mood)-像是快节奏歌曲(fast-tempo songs)能让人振作起精神(lift someone’s spirit),甚至听到以后会开心起来(put someone in a good mood)-音乐营造了(create)很好的一个氛围(an inviting atmosphere),顾客在店里会感到放松(chilled out)快乐-这样的心态下, 人们就更愿意(be willing to do)呆在店里,多试(try out)几套衣服(outfits)然后买走(pay for)
sample answer:
The way I see it, it’s just one of the marketing tools that business people use to boost sales, and I must say it’s pretty effective. We all know that music is powerful and magical. For instance, fast-tempo music has the ability to lift our spirits and put us in a very good mood. I mean, the music creates an inviting atmosphere in the malls or shops, which makes customers feel chilled out and happy. Then people are willing to stay for a little bit longer, try out different outfits and then pay for them eventually.
雅思8月口语考试会变题吗?附口语答案示例
究竟变不变题?
会不会被安排新的视频面试?
评分会不会有变化?
考试到底怎么准备比较好?
首先,7月份复考之后的内容一定是基于5-8月的口语题库,如果还没有入手首先要抓紧这个事情。
其次,视频面试主要针对的是参加机考部分,如果同学报名的是传统的纸笔考试,并不会遇到这样的事情,同时无论是什么样的形式,考试的评分都是基于同学整场考试过程中的词汇、语法、流利度和连贯度以及发音状况来进行考核。
这里对同学有一个建议,一定要注意考官看的是一个完整的过程,很多同学在Part one和Part Two的过程中,因为担心整体内容难度而使用一些非常复杂的词句,这个本身没有问题,但是Part Three的过程中如果不能保证持续的输出这样的难度,就要谨慎的使用。
这里我们选择一个同学最为担心的考试部分进行详细讲解:
Are men better at decision-making in a family? 男性在家庭中是否更善于决策?
具体在回答这样的考题过程中,一定要先把握好题目中的关键信息,这题最为重要的就是better,
这里要注意在回答的过程中进行比较;decision-making 决策的内容,影响因素;in a family在家庭环境中。
在具体答题过程中一定要注意考题关键词的回应。
Well, of course, it all depends, but I believe that men are still primary breadwinners(负责养家户口的人) in the majority of families.
So, they are mostly focused on business and career decisions.
What’s more, some of them work so hard that they literally don't see their families.
As a result, women, even if they are busy at work, spend more time than men making economic decisions for their families -from consumer goods to services.
So, when it comes to buying something, a man would much rather buy the first workable product, while women would rather continue shopping in the hope of finding the ‘perfect solution’ as women would compare prices, read users' reviews, ask friends for advice. So, they know better what to buy, where to do shopping, and when it's better to do it.
Secondly, because women spend more time being engaged in family matters, they better understand the needs of everyone in a family.
Due to this, women know better what gifts to buy for kids and relatives. They know each family member's preferences.
So,they are better at catering for their family's needs.
结合上面的示例,同学在进行Part Three的复习过程中,首先一个要搞清楚Part Three的常规题型分类,考官一般会问那些问题,原因?后果?现象?问题?解决方案?分类标准?比较?观点?
在搞清楚这个考官的出题意向之后,进行针对性回答;其次是需要把握,考题的核心内容,这样可以有意识的进行表达和素材的积累。
范例中就是复考后需要准备的重点话题decision-making, 在备考的过程中,同学需要做的就是,搞清楚这些核心关键话题词有哪几种可能的提问方式,然后合并同类项,看下回答的时候有没有共同的角度,然后针对共同部分进行素材积累;同时佐以适当的连接性内容表达。
雅思口语成绩如何有效提高
雅思考试作为一门出国必备的语言测试,近几年在各国认可程度不断提升。对于大多数中国考生来说,口语是雅思考试四项中最为头疼的部分。很多雅思考生在备考口语时拘泥于死记硬背,直接套用口语模板,对于开口说英语没有信心也没有兴趣。参加过很多次雅思考试,口语还是不能过关。那么作为土生土长的中国考生来说,如何才能有效提高口语成绩呢?
语言心理学研究表明,学好外语的主要因素有四点:才能、占33%;智力、占20%;动力或坚持性、占33%;其他、占10%;而语言、才能和智力并非一蹴而就,需要长期持之以恒的培养与发展。兴趣则是一种内在的动力,对智力发展起着启动、调控、提高的作用。所以各领域专家都经常说兴趣是最好的老师。实践也证明:当学生对某一类知识产生兴趣时,他们就会积极主动地探究,学习效果就尤佳。
那么,在雅思口语学习中如何培养学生的学习兴趣呢?
1、考生首先要充分了解考试内容和评分点。考生要熟悉考试题型,四项评分标准都有哪些要求,自己该如何制定备考计划。对于雅思口语来说知道考官喜欢什么,不喜欢什么,面对考官需要注意的方方面面,才能警醒更加有针对性的练习。
2、考生需要找到自己感兴趣的英语表现形式,并有效利用这些渠道补充学习:比如电视、电影、杂志或者电台等等。BBC、VOA等都是模仿纯正口音的好地方,还有HollyWood的美剧,可以用来学习那些明星是如何表达感情说出那些令人神魂颠倒的句子。另外还可以根据自己的兴趣点,在文化、历史、时尚、影视、体育等方面找到自己感兴趣的英语内容。
3、将经常听到看到或给自己留下深刻印象的句型词汇运用到平时的练习中。在备考雅思口语时要学会积累,平时在听新闻,看美剧,或者做资料时遇到的好句型,好词汇都记录下来,作为口语的答题内容,有了这些亮点词汇,作答时会添色不少。当然在内容上能体现个人的观点和看法也是非常重要的。俗话说,别人嚼过的馍不香。背诵机经远不如说出你自己的经历和看法来的真实动听。况且背诵的过程是枯燥无趣的,考生何不使用背诵的时间尝试表达自己感兴趣的内容呢?
4、考生可以尝试改变传动练习方法,由被动练习变为主动练习。考生去培训班上课,方法和技巧都是被动接受,不会留下深刻的印象。如果通过自己练习总结,得出适合自己的练习方式,培养了说英语的兴趣,这种主动练习的效果是事半功倍的。
对于口语练习,考生可以尝试不同的练习方式,并寻找最适合自己的学习方法。目前国内比较流行的口语在线练习的平台——SpeakingSaver就是一种非常创新的口语练习方法。打开网页,立刻就可以开始练习,相对于传统的报班来说更加便捷。这种充分利用互联网资源的口语练习的平台为考生营造了一个十分轻松的练习环境,已受到国内外很多考生的好评。师傅领进门,修行在个人,再好的“老师”也无法保证考生的成绩,口语成绩的提高关键靠自己的付出和行动。
英语学习很大程度上取决于兴趣,而雅思口语成绩的提升也是如此。很多考生单纯以考试为目的备考是十分痛苦,且不全面的。为了更实在的提高考试成绩,为了走出国门后使用英语更加得心应手,考生应在备考过程发现自己的兴趣点,并且善用适合自己的学习方法。借用兴趣的动力,学习才能持续有效。
雅思口语考试流程里的秘密解析
雅思口语考试分为三个部分,被各方神圣称为part、section、stage or phase。不论叫什么,内容是一样的。
我们先来普及一下最基本的流程常识。考生进入考试室,根据考官要求递上身份证,考官核对考生身份,之后考试正式开始。第一部分中,考官问,考生答,若干问题后进入第二部分。第二部分中,考官给考生一个题目(cue card)、笔、纸以及一分钟的准备时间,时间到后考生开始就所给题目发表为时2分钟左右的speech/monologue,期间考官不会和考生互动。时间到后,考官会问几个与考生speech紧密关联的问题,然后过渡到第三部分。第三部分中,考官与考生会就考官提出的问题进行讨论,当考官说“This is the end of the test。”的时候,考试结束。整个考试过程总体控制在11至14分钟之间。之后考生起身离开考试室。
这个流程尽烤鸭皆知,但知道这个流程中隐含的关于能让我们烤鸭提分的秘密的人就不那么多了。下面我就和大家分享一下一些经过实战检验的成功秘诀。
一、真正的考试长于你知道的考试。
大家都知道考官有个录音机(笔),在他/她核对了我们的身份之后,他们会打开录音机,并说一句标明录音内容的话,比如“Interviewee Wu MengQiQi,ID number 123456789011111”,然后他/她就开始第一部分的问答了。其实考官对我们的评估在他/她见到我们的那一刻就开始了,不论是他们开门来招呼坐在门口等的我们,还是我们推门进去问候坐在桌子后面的他们,这见面的第一刹那就是我们雅思口试真正开始的时间!
等待时,度分如年,考试时,时光飞逝。一转眼,听到对面的考官对着他/她的录音设备说“This is the end of the test。”,我们如释重负。可是,亲爱的们,我们在这个时候还是处于考官的视线中,还是必须对考官的各种行为(提问、道别、祝福等)给予反应,所以,直到我们走出考试室,轻轻关上那扇我们之前等待的时候注视许久的门,这一刻,才是考官对我们评价结束的时刻!
二、考官的人性影响我们的分数。
考官是人,真真切切有血有肉的人,所以他们不仅具有我们看得见摸得着(尽管只能看不能摸)的特性,他们还有容易被我们遗忘的人性,而正是他们的人性,让真正考试的时间从我们和他/她见面开始,到他们看不到我们为止。也正是他们的人性让我们的“非应试”表现对我们的考试成绩产生举足轻重的影响。
我在这里所说的人性主要是指考官头脑中对我们形成的第一印象对其最终判定给我们的分数有重要影响的特性。这个特性我们每个人都有,考官也不例外。
第一印象的影响有多大?我们常说的“眼缘”就是个很好的例子。有些人和我们很有“眼缘”,我们看到他们就觉得挺喜欢,愿意多了解他们,之后他们做的事情即使有些不怎么得体,我们也会自动给他们找理由,合理化他们的行为。
而我们在考试室里的“非应试”表现则是考官对我形成第一印象的重要组成部分,其中包括和考官问候、道别、祝福,我们的穿着打扮以及其它一切帮助我们给考官留下印象的事情。
怎样应对雅思口语变题季
雅思口语换题是指的什么?
雅思口语换题月是指每年的 1、5、9 月份。意思就是说,雅思考试每隔四个月就要换掉一些题目,而被换掉的题目只是口语题,不包含笔试题目。
雅思口语换题对考试的影响
雅思口语话题数量上part1一般稳定在30个左右,part2一直稳定在50个左右。雅思考试有一个“1、5、9”的说法,在每年的1月、5月、9月雅思口语会进入换题季。雅思口语大概有20%-30%的旧题需要被换掉。这个规律其实对于雅思口语来讲尤其重要。因为雅思口语考试有这样一个硬性规定,就是在雅思考试过程当中,考官向你问的第一部分和第二部分,题目必须出自同一个固定的题库。这样,同学们可以根据题库内容来准备题目。
在变题期有同学之前对新题没有准备看到题目就慌乱了。其实,在雅思口语考试中,很多题目都是相通的,同学们可以由自己之前积累的题目联想到下一个新题目,或者由老题素材变换花样用于新题中。
在备考方面,语言功底扎实、雅思临场经验丰富的考生,受变题的影响不会太大,但想要冲高分还是会有一些阻碍;对于英语实力不够强、以背题为主要策略的考生就需要提高警惕了,因为大量新题的出现会大大降低遇到熟题的几率。
不过,考生也不必太恐慌,雅思口语出题终归还是有规律可循,只要掌握正确的备考方法与应试技巧,下半年的雅思口语考试依然可以安全通关。按照口语的出题规律,新题出现后,较之旧题重复利用率会比较高。
雅思口语换题季需要注意的一些问题
雅思口语part 1注意事项
整个雅思口语part 1受雅思口语变题季的影响很小,本身口语part1话题难度不大,都是偏日常的口语话题,考生们都有话可说,所以完全不必太过紧张。
需要注意的是表述上的细节。根据小站雅思君的经验,考官比较喜欢一些细节,也是很多考生容易忽略,却偏偏能够得分的点。举个例子:关于shoes这个话题,不管是女生还是男生,关于鞋子都会说到不同的鞋子类型,按照场合分有舞鞋,皮鞋,高跟鞋,雪地靴,溜冰鞋,凉鞋,拖鞋,运动鞋等等,每个场合都有自己的内容可以说;按照鞋子的材质可以:皮鞋,塑料拖鞋,水晶鞋,帆布鞋等等,那么考生们如果掌握了这部分词汇,那么在词汇这个细节上就比大部分考生只说shoes更能博得考官好感。
除了细节,考生们也不要太过炫技。好吧,很多考生为了能迅速“讨好”考官,原本part1只需要说2句话,非要拉长成4句话,还都是复杂句。首先,长句不是不可以说,但不要把话题故意拉长,一些无意义的赘述会让考官内心os:朋友,你废话太多了。
比如:天气(weather)这个话题,考官问:Which months have the best weather in your country(你们国家最宜人的天气在那几个月?)考生:好吧,根据不同的经纬度其实我们国家的天气是很不同的,并没有最宜人的天气之说,不过我觉得我比较喜欢南方的9月,晴空万里……考生为了炫耀自己会经纬度,故意用一个强调句It is quite different that the changeable weather in our country according to the latitude, different 和changeable其实表达的是一个意思,而且这句话强调并没有什么特别的意义,反倒给考官的感觉是,这考生是在强调啥?我只是想知道对他来说哪个季节更舒服而已。我当然知道经纬度不同,天气不同啦,我问的不是气候climate.
建议考生如果真的要“炫技”,留给part 2, part 2中可以多用3-4个复杂句。当然,复杂句用得要恰当好处,这个留到下面说。很多考试机构的老师只交给学生很多语法和长难句,却忘了提醒考生如何在恰当的场合恰当的使用,于是很多国内的考生的口语表现就留给口语考官一种:啰嗦又说不到重点的感觉。
雅思口语part2部分目前更新了5个话题,分别是:Describe an activity you would do when you are alone in your free time(一个单身人士的业余活动);Describe an experience that you were scared(某次被吓到的经历);Describe a television program/ film that made you laugh(让你笑惨了的电视节目或电影);Describe a book you have recently read(最近在读哪本书),Describe a law/rule that you think is good(一条好的法律或规则)。
Part 2的话题难度瞬间就提升了一个level了,很多考生如果事前没有一定的储备,确实很难在口语考试给定的30秒-1分钟内想出2分钟的内容,更别提话题内容能够出彩了。这时候口语题库的重要性就出来了。
雅思口语题库内大约有500个口语话题,不过按照类别分也就:人物,物品,事件和地点。当然雅思口语话题现在的趋势是:内容中既有人物和事件,或者人物和地点的组合话题越来越多。
考生们的话题其实可以集约起来复习,尤其是很多考生不仅考试经验不足,甚至人生阅历都很少,能记得的法律或规则恐怕只有不要乱穿马路或者酒驾吊销驾驶证这些。
雅思口语part 2注意事项:
时态。好吧,很多考生拿到话题之后,很容易忽略时态这个问题,这个挺致命的。有些话题如最近看过的一本书,这是很明显用过去时的话题,但是有一些话题是用将来时,这时候考生会需要一些虚拟语句辅助,但是考生常常会忽略。
关于卡壳了怎么办。讲真,考试难免紧张,考生们未必真的是背诵模板,但是卡壳之后一定不要长时间停顿,费力翻白眼回忆下一句该怎么说。根据你的表现,考官内心一定会判定你是在背模板。这时候,你可以用oh, let me see……, frankly, I think that would be a long story, so I almost forgot some parts of details……I have no idea about that, maybe……使用这些过渡句一方面可以缓解紧张情绪,一方面也给你回忆接下来的内容有一个缓冲。
遇到不熟悉的话题该怎么办。硬切,转移话题。对于不熟悉的话题,考生们完全没必要尬聊,首先聊不下去,时间空的多你补不回来。另一方面,你会讲的很烂,考官也很痛苦。举个例子:本季新题,单身人士的业余活动,这个话题对大部分单身狗来说,真的太容易了,但是万一是已婚人士怎么办?或者本身就是一个宅男,那怎么办?很简单,你完全可以将话题重心转成活动,一个人的活动。比如一个人打游戏,游戏可以延伸出你熟悉的话题了吧。所以,考生没必要每个话题都准备到位,但一定要事前准备几个自己熟悉的领域的话题,并准备充足的语料。
雅思口语part2高分话题范文:犯过的错误
Describe a mistake you once made.
You should say:
what it was
how you made this mistake
when it was
and explain how it affected you.
雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:
The biggest mistake in my life was falling in love with the wrong girl who had a completely different view of life, love and relationship. I was hardly 17 years old when I fall hard for this girl.
Initially, we were classmates and then became friends. In a year I started to feel something about her that was quite extraordinary and hard to explain. I guess people call this 'love'. My whole world started to shift and I was surrounded by a mirage for this whole time. Not a single moment had passed when I didn't think about her. She was the centre and power source of my universe. When I proposed her, she expressed her boundless joys and acted as if I should have proposed her earlier. So far, this is a sweet and innocent love story of a teenager and I was happy to have her in my life.
However, it took me only a few months to realise that she was not serious about our relationship. When she was my whole world, I was her just another temporary boyfriend. The relationship ended in ten months and I was so broken-hearted that I could not concentrate on anything for a while. My parents also knew about it and they were very supportive of me. First few days, it was quite difficult for me to get back to my normal life, study or go outside. I simply could not appease my mind that I made a great mistake and it was like an illusion that I need to come out from soon. However, when I started realising that I made a big mistake by approaching a serious relationship without even knowing the girl genuinely, I started making peace with my mind. I was completely honest with myself and that eventually helped me to get out of the depressive time I went through at that time.
The lesson learned from this mistake made me more cautious about making any kind of relationship and I am happy that I took this mistake as an event to learn a lesson. However, I often feel bad that how someone could be so naive to play with someone's sentiment so cheaply.

雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:
The American songwriter, artist, writer and singer, Bob Dylan, whose original name is Robert Allen Zimmerman is a very creative person I know about. I also admire for his creative songwriting and noteworthy songs. He is, in fact, one of the most influential songwriters and singers of all time and I respect him greatly.
He was born in 1941 in the USA and due to his remarkable contributions to literature, he was awarded the Nobel Prize recently. The Nobel Prize for literature is awarded both for lasting literary merit and for evidence of consistent idealism to a great extent. Dylan's songs have such creativity, consistent idealism and universal appeal and without any doubt, he is a very talented and creative person.
He is such a powerful and influential singer that his song like 'The times they are a-changing' and 'Blowing in the wind' became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements.
His creative and dazzling lyrics incorporate a vast range of social, political, psychological, philosophical, and literary influences. As a musician, he has sold more than 10 million records. Besides, he is also a talented painter.
I knew him first when I heard his song 'Slow Train' from his album 'Slow Train Coming' in my early college days. I have explored his music and heard most of the songs sung by him. I have also read several articles online about him and his works. I know him as a revered songwriter and he is one of my favourite singers of all time.
I admire him mostly because of his talent and outstanding contribution to the music, lyrics, and literary works through his songwriting. There were times when his music personally inspired me, motivated me and helped me forget my pain. I have never met him in person but he seems like someone I know for a long and very closely. I respect him as a great musician, admire him as a songwriter and consider him one of the greatest minds of the present era.
