在很多考生的意識(shí)里,普遍認(rèn)為雅思口語考試中得到理想分?jǐn)?shù)的關(guān)鍵是詞匯、語法的功底,如果口語答題中詞匯使用越難,則分?jǐn)?shù)就越高;語法越嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、錯(cuò)誤越少,則分?jǐn)?shù)就越高。當(dāng)然,雅思口語是語言考試,對于詞匯和語法是有要求的,但是,對于大家最擔(dān)心的分?jǐn)?shù)如何提高這個(gè)問題,并不是單憑詞匯和語法就能提高的。我們?nèi)鄙俚氖谴痤}的思路,思路不夠豐富,因此我們就難以突破自己,得到更加理想的分?jǐn)?shù)。無論在口語的哪個(gè)部分,思路豐富、答題內(nèi)容多而充實(shí)都是考官青睞的。那么朗閣海外考試研究中心口語組的專家就來告訴大家如何做到思路豐富,我們?yōu)榭谡Z應(yīng)考制定了聯(lián)想法則。
聯(lián)想法則一 朋友家人交際圈
不論什么話題,當(dāng)我們被問到自己所喜愛的東西或是對自己的影響時(shí),我們都可以使用這一法則,把自己的家人、朋友、同事、老板、老師、鄰居等應(yīng)用起來,擴(kuò)大自己答題的內(nèi)容和涉及的范圍。例如,當(dāng)我們被問到:Whatkind of books do you like? 很多考生覺得只要回答完書的種類即可。其實(shí),我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),只回答書的種類也就只有一句話,沒有什么可以繼續(xù)的了?脊賹τ谝痪湓挻痤}的考生是不看好的,無法給出高分。那么,我們完全可以把自己周圍的交際圈全部列出來,這個(gè)題目可以這樣回答:
Well, I like novelsbest. When I was in high school, my Chinese teacher told me novels were helpfulto improve my reading skill and writing skill, and it’s a good way to enjoy theleisure time. Then I began to read novels. I found it really interesting andhelpful. My best friend and I always discuss the books together to understandthe novels and the author’s background.
再來看下面的例子,
What are thebenefits of reading magazines?
思路受限的答案:
I think readingmagazines can help me to know more knowledge. I like reading magazines.
補(bǔ)充以上答案:
Reading magazinesis a good way to kill time. I can see the pictures of fashionable clothes andcosmetics, and I can know some information of sports, cars or some otherthings. My sister and I both like collecting magazines, so we always exchangethem and read. It’s quite interesting.
聯(lián)想法則二 回憶過去展望未來
對于一些題目,我們可以用過去與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行對比,若只講現(xiàn)在,大家可能會(huì)覺得沒有話說,但是一旦對比著講,我們就發(fā)現(xiàn)思路多了。此外,展望未來也可以解決話題內(nèi)容少的問題?聪旅娴睦樱
Describe an electricequipment.
這個(gè)話題我們不妨講家用電器:空調(diào)。但是,很多同學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)空調(diào)沒有什么細(xì)節(jié)可說,那么我們可以針對其使用電能、較環(huán)保這個(gè)點(diǎn)來描述,這個(gè)特點(diǎn)比起過去來說,是一大進(jìn)步,所以我們可以在答案中增加這一部分:
In the past, peopleused the coal for heating, which produced a great amount of air pollution. Whenwe use air-conditioner, we do not have to worry that in winter, we create much greenhousegas. We just use the electricity which is environmental-friendly.
還有一個(gè)例子,是問學(xué)生Whatdo you think are the benefits brought by technology for us? 我們可以把將來的展望加入到答案中。
思路受限的答案:
We have a lot ofbenefits, for example, the technology has created the computer, so we can surfonline for information and entertainment.
補(bǔ)充以上答案:
I strongly believethat technology will increasingly make our life more relaxed and easy. Now weare using robots as the new inventions to release labor. I think in the future,robots will be popularized to every family to wash dishes, do cleaning, remindour schedule and arrangements and be friends to us. It’s promising thought.
聯(lián)想法則三 制造場景發(fā)揮想象
在回答口語話題時(shí),我們可以自己制造一個(gè)場景,充分發(fā)揮自己的想象力,為考官編織一個(gè)有趣的答案。即使這個(gè)答案是空想出來的,只要有趣、有畫面感,同樣可以打動(dòng)考官。比如說,Whatwould you buy when you have a lot of money?
思路受限的答案:
I want to buy anisland. I think it’s interesting. I will build the house there and my familyall live in it and enjoy our life.
補(bǔ)充以上答案:
When I was a child,I read a fairy tale that there was a castle on an island. The families enjoyedtheir life on it. There were trees and flowers all around the island, and humandid not have to eat. They were just singing songs and dancing to the music. Iwould like to buy an island of this kind and all my family can live there.
通過我們設(shè)計(jì)的場景,我們描繪出一幅生動(dòng)而美麗的畫面,這樣考官會(huì)很享受與我們交流,而不是在聽千篇一律的枯燥答案。
綜上所述,我們在回答雅思口語話題時(shí),把答案盡量延展出來,不要拘泥于回答問題的框架,而是盡量延伸,把家人朋友等聯(lián)系起來、把現(xiàn)在的情況與過去和將來進(jìn)行對比并努力為自己的答案創(chuàng)造更豐富的場景,這樣我們就不用擔(dān)心回答的內(nèi)容單一和枯燥了。如果同學(xué)們認(rèn)為在答題時(shí),思路受到了很大的限制,不妨在平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)將以上三個(gè)法則用關(guān)鍵詞的形式寫出來提醒自己,經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間的練習(xí),我們就可以習(xí)慣性地?cái)U(kuò)展自己的答案了。
