原来口语回答都是有逻辑性和结构可言的!掌握了一定的回答规律,其实临场发挥,随机应变地回答考官的提问,也没有大家想象的那么难!~
基本口语回答结构:
Statement + Reason + Example
也就是说,先陈述自己的观点(I think)+ 原因(Because)+ 再用一个例子来support (For example)
再说advantages and disadvantages这类问题。
这些问题也可以简单的用以上这个结构来搞定:
On one hand, something has certain advantages, such as…
Statement + Reason + Example
On the other hand, it also has certain disadvantages, such as…
Statement + Reason + Example
这种最简单的口语回答结构,其实非常适应Part 3这类比较有深度的题目。这样不单能够说满3-4句话,也能给自己足够的时间思考。
又有烤鸭们说,他们经常会遇到听不懂考官所提问题,或者对所提问题似懂非懂或不确定,那么这种时候,不应该“死要面子活受罪”,害怕考官发现自己没听懂而扣分,所以索性乱说一通。其实,正常的询问 “pardon”是完全不会扣分的;
反而,如果答非所问,那考官就要开始怀疑你的英语水平了。
大家完全可以参考学习以下场景中的口语“套句回答”,多给自己时间来思考问题,也不让考官觉得你冷场哦!~
核实你对考官说的话理解是否正确:
Do you mean…?
If I understand right, …
So am I right in saying…?
So what you mean is…, right?
Sorry I don’t quite catch you. You mean…?
Can I get one thing clear?
Would you be correct in supposing…?
表示不同意某事或者某观点
I’m afraid it’s wrong.
I don’t think so.
I’m afraid what you think about… is not quite right.
Sorry, that’s not at all right.
I think the information you have might be incorrect.
If I may say so, it is not the case.
I’m sorry, there is some misunderstandings here.
It doesn’t seem correct to say…
请考官重复或者转述问题,便可使用如下表达:
If I understand right …
I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean (that)…?
Sorry I don’t quite catch you. You mean…?
I’m not exactly sure how to answer that question, but /perhaps…
That’s a rather difficult question, but (maybe)…
Could you please rephrase that question / topic?
另外,大家有可能脑中会有一片空白,一下子回答不出考官提出的问题。如果使用汉语中表示迟疑的词“嗯…”来衔接,这些都是会影响流利度和连贯性!
那如何克服这一困难,不会在回答时遇到“卡壳”呢,可以借鉴一下以下这些词组:
Well…
Actually…
In fact…
You see…
You know…
How shall I put it…?
Let me think for a second…
Give me a few seconds…
That’s an interesting question…let me see. Well, I suppose that…
Yes, that’s a big issue.
如果大家觉得没有说完,还想要继续说下去时,那么这些链接的词句就能派上用场了哦!~
In other words, I am…
And that means…
Let me put it another way…
What I’m suggesting is…
All I’m trying to say is…
What I’m getting at is…
If I can rephrase that…
Perhaps I should make that clearer by saying…
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say…
如果大家觉得已经说完了, 对于此问题已经无话可说,那么避免冷场,就直接告诉考官:我说完了!下一题!
I’m afraid that’s about as much as I know.
I think that’s all.
I can’t think of anything else right now…
Is there anything else you wish to know?
