1, Each question in the Listening module is worth one mark。
2, For questions where the answers are letters or numbers, you should write ONLY the number of answers required. For example, if the answer is a single letter or number, you should write only one answer. If you have written more letters or numerals than are required, the answer must be marked wrong。
3, Answers maybe written in upper or lower case。
4, Words in brackets are OPTIONAL-they are correct, but not necessary。
5, Alternative answers are separated by a single slash。
6, If you are asked to write an answer using a certain number of words and/or (a) number(s), you will be penalized if you exceed this. For example, if a question specifies an answer using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS and the correct answer is “black leather coat”, the answer of “coat of black leather” is incorrect。
7, In questions where you are expected to complete a gap, you should transfer only the necessary missing word(s) onto the answer sheet. For example, to complete “in the …”, and the correct answer is “morning”, the answer “in the morning” would be incorrect。
8, All answers require correct spelling (including words in brackets)。
9, Both US and UK spellings are acceptable。
10, All standard alternatives for numbers, dates and currencies are acceptable。
11, All standard abbreviations are acceptable。
注意事項(xiàng)
1. 流利度。這是最首要的,需要大家在雅思考試中說(shuō)話時(shí)不要總是中斷,嗯嗯啊啊的。這也是一個(gè)語(yǔ)言熟練度和思維的問(wèn)題。如果你一句話說(shuō)得很熟,就不會(huì)出現(xiàn)打梗;如果你思維開(kāi)闊,就不會(huì)上句接不了下句。這需要大家以句子為單位操練(非單詞),同時(shí)看大量的英文材料擴(kuò)展講話素材。
2. 語(yǔ)音和語(yǔ)調(diào)。很多人發(fā)音不好似乎是先天的,且與當(dāng)?shù)氐目谝粲嘘P(guān)系。如果你普通話都講不好,在雅思口語(yǔ)考試時(shí)發(fā)音也很難標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。語(yǔ)調(diào)方面,注意英語(yǔ)升降調(diào)的規(guī)律,說(shuō)話盡量有升有降,抑揚(yáng)頓挫,不要全部一個(gè)調(diào)調(diào),聽(tīng)起來(lái)像機(jī)器人。在雅思口語(yǔ)準(zhǔn)備過(guò)程中發(fā)音的訓(xùn)練靠多聽(tīng)多模仿,這方面的資源很多,不再贅述。
3. 詞匯豐富度。這方面不需要過(guò)分夸大口語(yǔ)和書(shū)面語(yǔ)詞匯的區(qū)別。但是雅思口語(yǔ)方面的詞匯還是應(yīng)該盡量積累的,尤其是習(xí)語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)(不要告訴我你不知道是什么)。見(jiàn)過(guò)雅思的三個(gè)不同考官的經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我,口語(yǔ)考試中,如果你能時(shí)常蹦出一個(gè)比較“高檔”的詞匯(如專(zhuān)屬詞匯),會(huì)比較能引起雅思考官的注意。(他/會(huì)抬頭或者和你eye contact,當(dāng)然這因人而異)
4. 句法。雅思口語(yǔ)不需要講很多復(fù)雜的句子,但是不是說(shuō)你全部都講簡(jiǎn)單句。我覺(jué)得最好用的就是定語(yǔ)從句,不容易犯錯(cuò)。虛擬語(yǔ)氣可以用一下,當(dāng)然這些都不是硬性規(guī)定的。最主要的還是你的意思是否表達(dá)的很清晰。
另外,雅思口語(yǔ)算得上是一個(gè)interview,這就要求語(yǔ)言方面要稍微正式一點(diǎn)。很多人喜歡背俚語(yǔ)什么的,以為俚語(yǔ)講多了就地道了,有老師認(rèn)為一個(gè)英語(yǔ)非母語(yǔ)者講太多俚語(yǔ)會(huì)很奇怪,而且會(huì)顯得不正式。 這根據(jù)同學(xué)們自我程度決定
