学会引导话题,避免雅思口语误区
避免陷入误区,雅思口语要注意的3点
国内由于多年的应试教育影响,学生考试能力极佳,背功(reciting ability)也很厉害,主动学习的能力却极为欠缺,灵活不足,故而在面对雅思口语(IELTS speaking)时纷纷落败。
虽然把考试技巧(skill)和指导(instruction)铭记在心,也将备考资料(material)倒背如流,但是当真正需要自己表达(expression)的时候却束手无策,普遍得分很低(low),最后总结(to conclude),认为雅思口语考试很难(difficult)。其实,真正的原因(reason)是中国学生习惯了考试,习惯了背诵,而口语需要现场发挥,仅靠背诵几个话题远远不行。
一、尽管单靠背诵不能保证(to guarantee)口试的成功(success),但是如果应对策略(strategy)得当,也可以取得比较满意的(satisfied)分数的。这就要求(to ask)所有的考生们要在考试之前做好准备(preparation)的前提下,做出灵活机敏的反应(reflection)。首先我们要了解一下雅思口语考试,它注重的是考生的英语交际(communication)能力,目的是测试(to testify)英语国家学习(learning)和生活(living)的能力及英语的交际能力(ability)。这必然与交际过程中所运用的策略和技巧密切相关(close connection)。因此,语言能力并非绝对保障口语考试的成功。面试时要有个人的风格(style)和特色(characteristic),要处于放松(to be relaxed)状态。
二、怎样在面试中运用(to apply)自己有准备的材料,以免陷入被动的境地(situation),也是一个相当重要的问题。面试(interview)过程中必然会出现考生未能准备的问题,如果考生对有准备的问题和未能准备好问题的回答语言表达(包括语言风格和流利程度)反差较大,考官首先就会对有准备的回答产生怀疑(doubt),认为由此判定考生的水平不可靠,往往未等考生说完便打断话题(topic),接着转换到另一个话题上去,或者就考生回答的内容提更多的问题(more question)。被打断的次数越多,考试也就变得越被动。因此,考生在考试中对所背材料必须做技术处理,使整个面试过程保持整体一致性,从语言(language)到表情动作(expression and action),给考官一个自然而无斧凿之痕的印象(be natural)。
三、影响口语成绩的因素(factor)主要包括考生的英语口头表达能力、心理素质以及考试策略。可以说,口语在短时期(in short period)内得到明显提高几乎是不可能的(impossible),因而考生的临场心理素质和考生的交际策略与技巧成了应考的关键因素。可见,参加口试必须在各个方面都要做好充分的准备(preparation),才能立于不败之地。考生们也可以随时来澳际咨询有关雅思考试的一系列问题。
怎样克服雅思口语无话可谈的误区
疑问:平时我们在与老外的聊天中,互相打完招呼问好之后,就不知道要说什么。同时很多人对口语存有很多误区,那么接下来为大家具体分析一下原因,教大家一些在口语考试经常使用的句型,好好学习,学会“没话找话”说!
解答:首先,等练好口语再和外国人交流。中国人是比较含蓄和害羞的,总是怕自己的英语不够好,说不明白而丢人,从而不愿和外国人主动交流,总是想等有自己的口语练好时,再和老外进行交流。事实上只有不断的犯错,在错误中不断改进,自己的英语口语水平才能真正提高。
其次,出国以后英语口语才能练好。这是绝大部分准备出国朋友的共同心声,所以很多人在国内的时候只注重自己的听力、阅读、写作能力,完全忽视口语,因为一心想着出国有语境再恶补。不可否认的是,中国确实不能提供纯英环境,国外的确可以提供一个良好的语言环境,但是口语不好的同学会从心里抵制和外国人交流,久而久之口语得不到练习,只能听懂,口语方面却得不到任何提升。我想说,出国前英语应该在国内学好,充分重视口语,到国外才能和当地人更好的交流,迅速的融入当地生活,真正了解外国文化。本人之所以这样说,是因为朋友在国内没有重视口语,出国后难于和外国人交流,平时也只是参加中国友人的活动,导致在国外生活数年只能听得懂却说不出。
还有就是发音差不多就可以,反正外国人理解就可以。中国地大物博,南北方的口音有很大区别,所有在说英语时会有不同的发音错误,如北方学生容易把/ æ/发成/ai/或/a:/,表面上没有什么,事实上如果你说cat时候,老外一直听成kite。而南方学生容易把/r/发成/l/,你说writer时,老外脑中出现的确是litter。这种例子在生活中是很常见的,只是外国人比较礼貌,通常听完你所说的一整句话才会问一下,或是猜测内容。所以在日常生活中,我们应该主动把自己发错的音找出来,找老外或是老师改正。还有的同学说,我发正确的音不舒服,所以我还是按照自己舒服的方式发音,这是一定不可以的,因为英语的发音方式本身就和汉语不一样,一定严格按照国际音标的发音方式进行改正,平时可以多听英文材料进行校正。
那么如何克服上述问题并能找到话题呢?
1、 见到物体就用英语,把英文与实物联系起来,经常用英语造句,不要让母语成英语的辅助工具。即使用最简单的句子也是有作用的,不要奢望自己的基础不好时,就可以使用复杂的从句。
2、 大声读英语材料。大声说才能察觉自己的发音是否正确,同时可以养成正确的发音习惯,免得每次发的音都含糊不清,发出音不到位而读错单词。
多和native speaker 聊天。本人有一次和韩国人说英语,没有任何成见,只是真的会听不懂,因为太多的发音像韩语,所以奉劝各位想学好口语的朋友多听纯英式和美式英文,把自己的发音问题彻底解决。

For my job I currently live in the capital city of our country which is ... (say the name of the capital city in your country...). It has been more than 5 years since I left my hometown and yet this is the town where my heart belongs to. I will always remember the days and places where I spent my childhood and teenage, the golden years of my life. The name of my hometown is (...say the name of your hometown...) and it is located in the northern part of the (... say the city/ district name where this town belongs to...). This town will always be special to me, no matter where I go, how far I go. There are many interesting places if I consider from different perspectives in my hometown that I can recall now. Out of these places, the rail station, which is located at the southern corner of our city is the one I would like to talk about.
In my childhood, the rail station in my hometown was the most mysterious and interesting place for us. We, as children, were not allowed to enter the main premises where the train stopped and this prohibition made us more curious about this place. This is still a place which is quite interesting for me. This is possibly because this rail station is the entry and exit point for me- to and from my hometown. When the train drops me in this station, I feel a sensation of being home. On the contrary, during the time of my departure, I feel an acute melancholy that I won't be able to express in words. This place has always been a mystery to me and it is still a place full of happiness, sadness and enigma.
From two other perspectives, this place is quite interesting to me. One- the surrounding view of this station is quite spectacular and would give someone an impression that he is standing on a tall mountain and can see the green fields below all around him. The view gives the first impression of the natural beauty this area has. In fact, I have never seen any other train station which is located in such a higher place and gives such a beautiful view. Second- the different types of people who come here each day is an interesting thing to observe. Some people come here to sell numerous products, some wait for their relatives or family members to arrive, some to see off their relatives or friends, and finally, some are part of the administrative office of the rail authority. In my opinion, this is an interesting hub for people of different ages, places and purposes.
If I am to suggest a foreign tourist about the interesting places of my hometown, I would suggest him to start with this rail station. This rail station will give a very good idea of our town, people and places to be there. To me, this is the gateway to a beautiful town where my heart belongs to.

My mother often sang me a lullaby titled "Oh my sweet angel look the Moon has come to play with you…” in my bedtime and I have heard it so many times in my childhood that I can still remember it very vividly. This was a song usually famous in the rural area of our country that mothers often use to soothe the baby and to send them to sleep. It was an 8-10 lines song with great harmony and the way my mother sand it was extraordinary. It still echoes in my head and I miss those days.
I can remember my mother often sand this song till I got admitted in the school and I heard it from my father as well in my bedtime. I was pretty touched by the lyrics and in my childhood, I often imagined that the verses used in this song were true and would happen to me as well.
We often remember things from childhood especially the stories or songs we hear with great enthusiasm. This song was no exceptions. I heard it hundreds of times and as a child I fanaticized those things to be true. Thais is the main reason I still remember it. Maybe, someday when I will become a father/ mother, I will sing thins song to my children as well. This has in fact become a permanent memory and I still love the great and calming piece of music.

Thank you very much to let me talk about this cue card topic. The story that I am going to talk about is a fascinating story on how an eight year’s old kid saved more than 500 people from possible fatal casualty. I read this story a year ago in a daily newspaper.
This story was published in a popular newspaper that I used to read every day at that time and it was featured as a story of bravery and exemplary one.
An eight years old boy was playing with some other kids in the evening near a rail junction and suddenly noticed that a part of the rail track was severely damaged. While other kids ignored that and returned to their houses, this particular boy was different and he went home and persuaded his father that something bad is going to happen. He came back to the train junction with his father and took a great deal of hassle to convince the rail officers to actually go to visit the damage. They officers were reluctant to do so and thought it was a child’s imagination or lack of comprehension. But the boy was adamant and with his father, they were able to finally convince them that something terrible might happen if they do not take prompt actions. When all of them saw the severe damage on the rail track, it was almost the time for a passenger rail to pass this junction using this particular rail track. It was evening and very few people were in the station. The railway authority understood that repairing the harmed railroad was impossible. They immediately informed the nearby station and warned them so that the train does not leave that junction.
Next day many rail supervisors and employees visited the place and they were amazed by the bravery the boy showed to save people from an approaching peril.
I followed the news story and next day it made the headline of every local newspaper. As far I remember the boy was given many gifts by the rail authorities as well as the local administration.
The story was an exemplary one to remind us how a small sacrifice and bravery can save others. The eight years old boy showed his utmost intelligence, heroism and prompt actions to save people from unforeseeable dangers. The event was so touchy that it went viral in a day and that hit the headline of many newspapers. I did not watch TV that time, but I am sure that was also in TV news.
From the very nature of this event, we can understand that we revere the good news and we are not used to the bad news only. The great courage of a small kid saved the lives of many and that was an indeed worth news story to let the people of the whole country know and feel proud of.
