雅思口语考试的目的是为了让学生到国外能很好地学习和生活,因此它不仅是简单的对话,还需要考生能回答一些深层次的问题,有一定逻辑思考能力。中国学生在回答问题时,太爱寻求标准答案。比如在一次模考过程中,学生一进门,我一般都会问:How are you? 而相当一部分学生只会回答:Fine, thank you, and you? 多一句都不会说。整个上午下来,答案也基本都是 Fine, thank you. 之类的答案。于是我刻意对后面的考生这样问道:Its freezing outside, how are you? 可得到的回答依然是 Fine, thank you, and you?
这样的回答并没有错误,我们的课本上就是这么写的。但是其实针对 How are you? 这样的问题,老外的回答可以是多种多样的。例如:
Great, cheers!
Pretty good!
Im okay!
Could be better. Thanks!
Not too bad. Thanks, yourself?
透过上面的例子我们不难看出,虽然说评分主要是根据客观语言能力,但打分毕竟还是个主观的过程,如果你说的内容不那么千篇一律而能引起考官的兴趣,那么相比与你同等语言水平的人,你在分数上极有可能会更讨巧。所以我建议大家,结合自己的实际情况,找出你自己的特色来,然后把这些特色,灵活运用在更多的主题中。众所周知,雅思的口语考试分为三个部分,分别为Part1: Daily conversation, Part2: Individual long run 以及Part3: 2 way discussion. 我们在第一部分就要提供足够雅思的答案来给考官留下一个深刻的印象,因为极有可能两个问题之后考官凭经验已经在心中给你打了个分,接下来的问题都只是在证明这个分数而已。
如何使答案与众不同吸引考官呢?答案一定不能千篇一律,准备的时候要注意个性化!
个性化体现在我们回答问题时思维的独特性和立异性。一些有个有创造性的答案往往可以独辟蹊径,获取高分。下面就口语考试Part1: Daily conversation中的一些问题,为大家举例说明雅思口语考试中的6大个性化答题法:拟人答题法,谚语答题法,逆向答题法,细节答题法,迂回答题法和幽默答题法。
拟人答题法:
Telephone
Examiner: Do you think cell phones are important for modern people?
Candidate: Speaking of my little girlfriend---Nokia N91, I will have to say: shes like an angel. I had never seen anyone so beautiful before in my life. I was simply hooked on her the first time I saw her. I would always take her along with me wherever I go. My cell phone comes with a digital camera and has turned the vast world into a tiny little village. Its no exaggeration to say: mobile phones make the world go around!
这种回答题方法其实就是把各种实物人格化,赋予这些实物以新的生命。比如:谈到天气问题的时候,我们大可以把北京的沙尘暴变成魔鬼,把鲜花变成美化城市的天使,如此一来,答案自然不会显得枯燥无味。
谚语答题法:
Television
Examiner: How does the news influence people?
Candidate: News influences people by only reporting certain things and leaving out parts that could matter. One sided news or journalism isnt news but propaganda in my opinion. Its like that good old saying: Some people would rather believe the lies of Satan than the truth of God
Candidate: Not at all! Im a little strange. They remind me of funerals. I like
Music
Examiner: What type of music do you like?
Candidate: Well, I am not too fond of music. But sometimes I do like listening to religious music. It gives peace to my mind and joy to my soul.
逆向思维就是跳出常规,反向而行,换一种眼光,换一个角度看问题。从而发现别人没有发现的新事物、新动态、新思想。逆向思维的作用就是摆脱大多数人的思维模式所作的事情,去寻个别的、新鲜的人和事,从而做到与众不同,出奇制胜,获取高分。
