第二篇:雅思口語
I am a huge fan of a Chinese TV show named Happy Camp, in Chinese KLDBY, which is an entertaining program.There are a lot of stars showing up in the program.It is on 8 every Saturday night so I feel very relaxed every weekend.The show is very funny in that the five hosts are gifted in amusing people.I especially enjoy watching them chat with guests and play jokes on them.They are so intelligent and humorous that I am always amused by their words.In addition, they also play some games with stars in the show which can present another aspect of these stars.Sometimes I laughed so hard that my mom thought I was crazy, and then she became curious and ended up as a huge fan of the show herself.Yes.I think there are too much advertising on TV which always spoils my mood of appreciating TV programs or dramas.I do not like it at all.I know it is unlikely that there is no ad on TV at all.But I hope the ads can be put after the broadcasting of a TV program not in the middle of it.I think the difference between today’s TV channels and pastis huge.We have more channels today than in the pst.So we can appreciate a variety of TV programs which enrich our leisure time.But there are also more advertisements on TV today than in the past, which makes audience annoyed.I think Peking University Hall is very interesting.It is on the campus of PKU.When I first entered PKU, I went there to listen to the lecture of freshmen’s mental health.So it was one of my first impressions about PKU.Peking University Hall is a building that mixes the arts of traditional and modern architecture.It looks like a castle.At night, all the lights, movement and excitement of a busy theatre can be seen from the street outside.All the performances there are very wonderful.Besides, many famous people visit there and give a lecture to students of our university.I’ve watched a lot of performances and even met my idol Jay Chou in the hall.So the hall is very interesting to me

Two month passed, the police she had met on the train told her the truth.On hearing this, she couldn’t help weeping.Every time I watched this scene, I would be moved by the love between Liu and her boyfriend

第五篇:雅思口語指南
雅思新手指南:學(xué)好口語要從五大要點(diǎn)下手
http://.cn 2007年01月29日 12:10
給大家承諾了這么久寫口語,可是因?yàn)榛貒€有一些個(gè)人的事情所以沒有兌現(xiàn),實(shí)在不好意思。OK,現(xiàn)在就開始先給大家明確一下口語考試評(píng)分的要點(diǎn)(從最重要的開始排序)。1,F(xiàn)luency 2,Grammary(包括pronouns和tense)3,Vocabulary 4,Pronunciation 5,Coherency
下面我把這5點(diǎn)分開說
1,流利度。可以看出流利程度是最重要的。這是考官對你口語水平的一個(gè)整體感覺。怎么做到流利自如呢?基礎(chǔ)好,不怯場是一方面。關(guān)鍵的是,我們要打有準(zhǔn)備之仗,在考試之前一定要把最近經(jīng)常考的topic準(zhǔn)備一邊。
準(zhǔn)備方法:對每個(gè)部分的可能出現(xiàn)的問題都要準(zhǔn)備。
首先列提綱,學(xué)會(huì)由點(diǎn)到面的思維方式。
比如讓你描述一個(gè)對你有影響的人。可以說很多方面,象熱心,有豐富的知識(shí),做人很正值,誠實(shí),很慷慨,在某方面有特長,什么都可以說。因?yàn)槭亲约旱挠^點(diǎn)和想法, 所以不需要多么合乎邏輯,合乎正常思維。學(xué)會(huì)練習(xí)發(fā)散性的思維。這樣在考試的時(shí)候不會(huì)張口結(jié)舌,不知道說什么。
很多同學(xué)都喜歡把整個(gè)topic寫出來,然后經(jīng)常拿著背。對這種方法我不提倡,也不反對。因?yàn)楦魅硕加凶约哼m應(yīng)的方式。但是這樣做,太費(fèi)時(shí),費(fèi)力。而且有些句子寫出來感覺不錯(cuò),但是如果說的話可能就不一樣了。而且有些長句子靠背誦。在考試的時(shí)候萬一哪里說錯(cuò)了,就犯了grammar的錯(cuò)誤,不值得平時(shí)可以把自己的作文什么的小文章拿來出聲朗讀,鍛煉自己的舌頭適應(yīng)英語的發(fā)音。培養(yǎng)自己說英語的感覺。
2,語法。在平時(shí)有機(jī)會(huì)練習(xí)的時(shí)候就要注意,不要養(yǎng)成壞習(xí)慣有些在國外的同學(xué), 因?yàn)檎f英語的時(shí)候多一些, 而且有的時(shí)候不得不說英語, 所以有很多人養(yǎng)成一種習(xí)慣,只要讓聽的人聽懂就可以了。而且自我感覺還不錯(cuò),這樣在生活中是沒什么的。但是考試的時(shí)候是要考查你的grammar的。所以很多時(shí)候,錯(cuò)誤的句子脫口而出。
順便講個(gè)笑話.有個(gè)
留學(xué)生開車撞車了。沒辦法,打電話給警察,說了3句令人驚嘆的話:“one car hiting my car, red water on the floor, I call 嗚嗚嗚coming.” 警察是聽明白了,但是這樣考試中可行不通
口語里面不太涉及很深的語法。我們經(jīng)常犯的語法錯(cuò)誤也是那種很低級(jí)的,可以避免的。象he, she不分, 單三人稱沒有把動(dòng)詞加s, 時(shí)態(tài)前后不一致。如果讓你聽別人這么說,一下子就聽出來了。但是放在自己身上怎么就那么難避免啊?
所以我建議,說話之前不要著急,先想2,3秒,大概怎么說。考試的時(shí)候這幾秒的空白可以用well, I think, I believe來填補(bǔ)。本來有些問題就是要想一下才能回答的, 就算他們洋人自己說話也是需要思考的吧。
3,詞匯。很多時(shí)候不是我們沒話說,而是不知道該怎么表達(dá)。還有就是分不清楚書面用語和口語詞匯。把很正式的書面語用來說口語,給人的感覺會(huì)象我們聽那個(gè)老外說中文時(shí),老是夾雜用一些成語和古詩詞什么的。
這個(gè)問題只能通過積累來解決。一個(gè)時(shí)積累自己沒有掌握的詞匯和一些表達(dá)方式。二就是盡量區(qū)分書面語和口頭語。凡是涉及詞匯的時(shí)候,我們時(shí)沒有捷徑可以走的。
4,發(fā)音。很簡單,跟著聽力練習(xí),或者其他任何可以正確發(fā)音的電視,電影,廣播,媒體來學(xué)。
發(fā)音很糟糕的同學(xué)如果有時(shí)間最好能把國際音標(biāo)再學(xué)學(xué)。因?yàn)檫@樣對記單詞也是有好處的。
平時(shí)如果要朗讀的時(shí)候, 最好能在保證發(fā)音正確以后在練習(xí)。遇見那些不太清楚怎么發(fā)音的單詞別犯懶, 拿字典查一查怎么發(fā)音,重音在哪個(gè)音節(jié)。這樣不會(huì)一直把單詞念錯(cuò)。不管怎么樣,dont be too nervous, 只要你的口音不是濫到讓考官聽不懂,就沒有什么問題的。
5,相關(guān)性。這點(diǎn)是放在最后的, 所以可以看出來IELTS考試不是只為了考你能否正確回答問題.但是切記, 這點(diǎn)是看你能不能正確的理解問題.不知道問什么,肯定所問非所答了.在考試的時(shí)候, 如果聽不懂什么意思,考官也只會(huì)復(fù)述一邊問題,不會(huì)給你任何解釋。如果聽了第二遍還是不清楚問什么, 也別僵著, 想想整個(gè)句子聽懂的部分是什么, 照著這個(gè)說,就算偏一點(diǎn),但是還可以展示你的口語能力。什么都不說就等于自己給自己判了死刑啦。
小貼士:
我的老師給我的一些學(xué)習(xí)建議:1,多看英語的電視,聽廣播,看報(bào)紙。2,有空的時(shí)候就自己嘗試去描述一個(gè)人,一個(gè)物品。鍛煉自己的描述能力。說的時(shí)候可以多比較。特別是沒話說的時(shí)候。比如讓你說shopping,就可以比較男性和女性不同的購物習(xí)慣。這樣就大有可說了。
雅思口語復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)間表
如果你有較長的時(shí)間
比如3個(gè)月
首先
第12周你對雅思考試了解嗎?收集資料,找一份模擬題,做一做,如果做得不好不要慌張,我們還有時(shí)間復(fù)習(xí)。如果做得好,也別驕傲,找出自己的薄弱環(huán)節(jié),針對性的復(fù)習(xí)。
第11周現(xiàn)在先不要著急做題,我們應(yīng)該做一些文化知識(shí)的積累。要想口語和寫作得高分,就要有英語思維,只有一定積累以后,才會(huì)有這樣得效果。
當(dāng)然你可以找一些自己喜歡看的英文書,每天堅(jiān)持朗讀45分鐘,同一篇文章或句子,段落需練習(xí)數(shù)遍至脫口而出.推薦新概念那套教材。
此工作需持之以恒,一個(gè)月即效果明顯.好的文章內(nèi)容能擴(kuò)大知識(shí)面,增加對英美文化的理解,朗朗上口的段子能提高語感,豐富表達(dá)方式,地道的俚語俗語會(huì)給考官一個(gè)驚喜并得到一個(gè)好的分?jǐn)?shù).第10~8周如果經(jīng)濟(jì)允許,那就選擇一個(gè)輔導(dǎo)班,因?yàn)樵谳o導(dǎo)班上你可以學(xué)到許多考試的技巧,可以事半功倍。
并且能讓你較短的時(shí)間內(nèi)熟悉考試模式,更理想的是找到志同道合的學(xué)習(xí)伙伴.一般IELTS培訓(xùn)課程都會(huì)有純正英語國家教師進(jìn)行模考,還提供了一次很好的鍛煉機(jī)會(huì)和實(shí)戰(zhàn)經(jīng)驗(yàn).第7周準(zhǔn)備第一階段內(nèi)容
認(rèn)真填寫申請表
采取伙伴練習(xí),模擬對話形式.此階段內(nèi)容多與考生自身相關(guān),在回答的過程中應(yīng)表現(xiàn)的隨意些.第6周將手頭上現(xiàn)成的資料分門別類整理,制成卡片
結(jié)合自身情況和體會(huì),用自己的語言將每個(gè)Topic口頭表述成一篇200~250字的完整短文.最好可以找人幫你修改一下,并且按照人,事件,事物等分類。
第5周準(zhǔn)備第2階段類容,同時(shí)抽空復(fù)習(xí)第1階段內(nèi)容
一定要做到出現(xiàn)此題目或類似題目,腦海中能浮現(xiàn)所有關(guān)鍵信息.第4~3周準(zhǔn)備第3階段內(nèi)容
復(fù)習(xí)第2,3階段內(nèi)容
基本與第2階段準(zhǔn)備工作相同,適當(dāng)增加表述問題的深度.第2周最后沖刺,混合各階段內(nèi)容,綜合復(fù)習(xí).一般情況,第3階段的問題與第2階段的話題緊密聯(lián)系的,練習(xí)時(shí)應(yīng)善于聯(lián)想相關(guān)問題和信息.最后一周每天進(jìn)行模擬口試4次,共60分鐘
這樣在考試前基本可以’消滅’所有可能出現(xiàn)的問題.如果你離考試還有一個(gè)月請參考
我們從第四周開始倒數(shù),其實(shí)與前面的做法一樣,只是需要你縮短培訓(xùn)的時(shí)間,兩周左右的培訓(xùn)課程為佳。在還有四天的時(shí)候,準(zhǔn)備第一階段內(nèi)容,準(zhǔn)備第2,3階段和復(fù)習(xí)第一階段,混合3個(gè)階段內(nèi)容,綜合復(fù)習(xí),每天進(jìn)行模擬口試.此階段內(nèi)容多與考生自身相關(guān),在回答的過程中應(yīng)表現(xiàn)的隨意些.一定要做到出現(xiàn)此題目或類似題目,腦海中能浮現(xiàn)所有關(guān)鍵信息.基本與第2階段準(zhǔn)備工作相同,適當(dāng)增加表述問題的深度.一般情況,第3階段的問題與第2階段的話題緊密聯(lián)系的,練習(xí)時(shí)應(yīng)善于聯(lián)想相關(guān)問題和信息
這樣在考試前基本可以’消滅’所有可能出現(xiàn)的問題.如果你離考試只有一星期了請看
在這六天里,我們要沉著應(yīng)戰(zhàn),第一天
初步了解雅思口語考試
可看一些有關(guān)雅思介紹的書籍
第2天
準(zhǔn)備第1階段的內(nèi)容

瀏覽所有準(zhǔn)備的問題,嘗試歸納總結(jié)自己的觀點(diǎn)并記錄在紙上
記錄這部分熟悉的,常用卻不知如何用英語地道表達(dá)的詞句
同第2階段準(zhǔn)備類似,抽出難題,重點(diǎn)突破.由于第3階段的內(nèi)容相對復(fù)雜,用兩天復(fù)習(xí)
不要以為自己知道怎么說就略過,強(qiáng)迫自己說出來完整的答案
第6天
進(jìn)行2~3次模擬口試
檢測自己是否應(yīng)答自如,還有什么地方需要補(bǔ)救

雅思7分經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)總結(jié)
寄托考試站 [http://exam.gter.net]2005-08-12 21:53 PM無憂雅思社區(qū)
考完了,輕松了。看到得了7分(聽力7.5,其它都是7),沒有興奮的感覺,因?yàn)槲矣X得是應(yīng)該的,并且很慚愧努力不夠,否則應(yīng)該得到更高的分?jǐn)?shù)。下面談?wù)勎业母杏X。
首先,我覺得每個(gè)人(有CET-4證書的水平就可以了),通過三個(gè)月的努力,只要你投入進(jìn)去,應(yīng)該說得到7分并不難,至少6.5應(yīng)該沒有問題。
先說說我對機(jī)經(jīng)的看法,我沒有使用過聽力、閱讀、口語的任何真題回憶一類的東西。作文我下載了一些真題題目,主要是練習(xí)的時(shí)候不知道寫什么,覺得真題練習(xí)針對性比較強(qiáng),于是在無憂上下載了一份。
我個(gè)人認(rèn)為機(jī)經(jīng)作用不大,時(shí)間消耗倒不少(主要聽說需要背下來);且光有分?jǐn)?shù),實(shí)際能力如果沒有提高,出去也是浪費(fèi)錢。當(dāng)然,這純粹屬于個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)。據(jù)我所知,在國外,再學(xué)英語
太困難了。國外的環(huán)境主要對于口語、閱讀和寫作的幫助比較大,(主要是每天都要用,但卻沒有時(shí)間讓你重新從基礎(chǔ)學(xué)起)其他則不明顯。繁重的課程很難讓人再專心去學(xué)英語。相比較而言,無憂雅思的口語機(jī)經(jīng)和寫作機(jī)經(jīng)個(gè)人認(rèn)為反而比較有用,因?yàn)檫@些內(nèi)容網(wǎng)友回憶起來比較方便,可以說都是真題,并且無憂分類組織的也不錯(cuò),避免了我四處查找真題。
我是從4月份開始準(zhǔn)備的,7月16日參加的考試。參加了四川大學(xué)出國人員培訓(xùn)部的雅思班。我覺得這個(gè)班對我?guī)椭鷿M大的。
使用教材:
聽力:Listening Comprehension Practice, Active Listening, Count me in, Focus on First Certificate, Task Listening(以上基本是分類練習(xí),又專門練習(xí)數(shù)字的,有專門練習(xí)場景的)。另外,北語黑眼睛和中級(jí)聽力是我們聽力自習(xí)課可以選用的教材,雅思考前15天為自學(xué)課本。閱讀:Authentic Reading, Reading and Thinking In English(這本書非常好,對作文幫助也很大),雅思考前15天閱讀為自學(xué)課本。
口語:Handouts & 雅思考前15天口語分冊
寫作:Handouts, 雅思考前15天寫作,Writing Skills For The IELTS Test(這本書關(guān)于Task1有一些問題,不過布局介紹非常好)
綜合:Insight into IELTS
我自己買了三本書:《我的雅思詞匯》,《雅思8分萬能作文》,《英語高級(jí)寫作》(清華影印版,為全英文教材)。
聽力
基本上我用1.5月完成了基礎(chǔ)聽力的練習(xí)。后面進(jìn)行了針對訓(xùn)練。關(guān)于聽力我說幾點(diǎn)建議:
1.預(yù)測非常重要。基本上通過預(yù)測,你就可以抓住關(guān)鍵詞,當(dāng)文章到位置的時(shí)候會(huì)非常敏感。人要做到30分鐘都完全用心聽還是很困難,所以預(yù)測+關(guān)鍵詞很重要。
2.熟悉場景。雅思聽力說是考能力,但也有技巧。比如學(xué)生住宿,問路,教授輔導(dǎo)等等都是經(jīng)常考的場景,聽過以后一定要自己總結(jié)一下。
3.一般問題都成片出現(xiàn),所以有個(gè)空沒有聽清楚,或者詞沒有反應(yīng)過來,千萬不要停留,一兩個(gè)空不影響大局。如果一遲疑,往往漏掉一片。我出現(xiàn)過有個(gè)詞沒聽清楚,結(jié)果漏掉后面5個(gè)題(老在想那道題,后面聽得比較模糊)。
閱讀
閱讀其實(shí)也比較簡單,就是定位準(zhǔn)確。我也說說我的看法:
1.態(tài)度比細(xì)節(jié)重要,有的時(shí)候你可以根據(jù)整體態(tài)度,想象如果文章你來寫,會(huì)怎么寫,從
而判斷作者對于某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)的態(tài)度,選出正確答案。
2.積累同義詞,一般題干不會(huì)出現(xiàn)文章中的原詞,而是同義詞。只要你認(rèn)識(shí),找到位置,一般都能選對。
3.有大意題,每段看兩句就做題,這樣的正確率瞎猜,都比看完每段受到干擾的正確率高。沒有大意題,也要看每段首句,知道每段在講什么,能夠迅速定位。
作文
1.結(jié)構(gòu)布局〉其他
2.條理清楚,論證有力。避免空對空,老外即使是說1+1=2,也要說,“我們都知道買1個(gè)蘋果再買一個(gè)蘋果是兩個(gè)蘋果”(這個(gè)有點(diǎn)夸張,只是說明老外喜歡有例子,一切以事實(shí)為依據(jù),不要太多的哲學(xué)家)。
3.積累同義詞非常重要,金山詞霸等軟件可以幫助你完成積累,平時(shí)多用,就記住了。
4.有人建議先寫task2因?yàn)榉种蹈摺N医ㄗh先寫task1,因?yàn)榭梢孕菹⒛X子,幫助寫好task2。畢竟閱讀還是很消耗體力的,反觀task1,應(yīng)該是整個(gè)考試最輕松的部分。
5.留時(shí)間檢查,低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤扣分很嚴(yán)重。我一般可以提前10分鐘完成兩篇,所以一般都時(shí)間充裕,建議大家也練習(xí)稍微快一點(diǎn)。
口語
1.自信。很明白吧,你的分?jǐn)?shù)很大程度上取決于你給老外的印象。
2.可以用手勢輔助說話。
3.在第三部分,嘗試著問老外問題。比如:What's your opinion about this issue?
4.整潔大方的著裝。說話時(shí)看著對方的眼睛。這有兩個(gè)好處:
第一,讓老外覺得你自信且尊重他/她;
第二,你看他/她表情不對,就調(diào)整觀點(diǎn)。
畢竟人的潛意識(shí)都喜歡別人觀點(diǎn)和自己一樣。
