很多考生错误地认为,为了在口语中拿高分,必须要有非常难的词汇。其实雅思口语考试对于单词的考查点着重在合适二字上,不要用一些文绉绉的书面语。过度的追求难度反而失去了口语考试交流的意义,会给考官产生一个负面印象。俚语的使用也是如此,死记硬背的俚语很容易被考官识别,效果适得其反。朋友间开玩笑使用俚语可以有助于调节气氛,但并不适合出现在考试的场景中。
一时想不起某个词怎么说,大部分考生的反应就是卡在那里,甚至惊慌失措,势必会影响之后的发挥。要记住,雅思口语考查的是考生的表达能力而非单词的堆砌,面对这种状况,最好的方法就是替换掉你不会的单词,用其他的词汇、短语、句子来解释这个单词,甚至可以彻头彻尾地换一个故事来说。
这样传递给考官的印象就是你的句型多变,而且会根据不同的场合选用不同的表达;反之,一味地纠缠在某个单词上踌躇不前,就是在给考官传递完全相反的信息,词汇量不够,同时表达生硬不够流畅。
