Speaking Tips
—from a BAND9 Achiever
口语满分达人教你几招搞定口语考官!
A good vocabulary and content are important, BUT in my opinion, “Presentation precedes content, fluency precedes vocabulary” for the speaking exam. Adopt good presentation skills (eye-contact, pauses, speaking not too fast or slow). Read up and visualize a few possible questions. Make your answers exciting and passionate.
对于雅思口语考试来说,presentation重要过内容,流利程度比词汇量重要。好的演说技巧是很重要的,比如眼神交流,适当的停顿,不要说太快也不要说太慢等等。尽量说一些有趣正面的答案。
Fluency takes precedence over vocabulary, and if you feel you have forgotten the words, it is better to display a level of fluency with simple terms you know rather than struggle with numerous pauses while searching for the perfect word.
如果在口语考试的时候突然忘记了某一个单词某个词组,更好的解决办法是用一系列的简单词汇来描述它,来保持流利度,而不是一直纠结于这个忘记的词汇词组,以至于出现了很多不必要的停顿而扣分。记住,口语是一个communication的过程~ 不需要太过华丽的词藻。
Immediately before the exam – speak English:Freshen up before the speaking exam (there is usually a gap between the writing and speaking exams).
通常在写作考试和口语考试之间会有一段时间甚至是半天的间隔,最好是可以拿这段时间来练口语。把你脑中的语言模式转换成英语,可以在真实考试中避免很多不必要的口误和停顿。
Speak at a reasonable pace—NOT too fast or too slow. You can practice this by recording your normal speech and monitoring it, or foisting yourself on a good English speaking person and asking for his feedback.
考试时用适中的语速,不要太快也不要太慢。平时练习的时候,你可以录下你自己所说的话,然后回放,看一下自己的语速是否适中、大致问题在哪。或者也可以找一个说英语的朋友,让对方给你一些反馈,指出你的错误。
Key advice 1
extend your answer appropriately
重要提示:适当的扩展你的回答
For example:
Question: “How many languages do you speak?”
Answer: “Two. Chinese and English.”
Better would be:
“I speak two languages. My first language is Chinese and I can speak English as well. I’ve been learning English since I was 7. I started learning it when I was in primary school.”
*Be aware, HOWEVER, that very long answers are not always a good idea. It is possible that you will go off topic and lose coherence.
适当的扩展答案。但同时需要记住,太长的答案同样也不是一个好的答案。说的太长,就很有可能会说的偏题并且影响整体答案的逻辑连贯性。
Key advice 2
Correct yourself – If you can do it immediately
If you make a mistake and you CAN correct it immediately, do so. This will show the examiner that you have control over the language.
如果意识到自己说错了,在自己能力范围内可以修改的话,就立即做修改。如果你能正确的修改,考官会觉得你有能力去驾驭英语.
If, however, you are unsure how to correct yourself, move on! The examiner may not have noticed the mistake in the first place and if you try unsuccessfully to correct it, a small mistake may become a much BIGGER one.
如果觉得自己可能没有办法做出很正确的修改的话, 那就忽略这个小错误, 继续说下去。因为很有可能考官都没有意识到你所犯的这个小错误,如果没有做出正确的修改, 一个很小的错误可能会因此变成一个很大的错误。
