雅思口语中如何快速反应 大多数考生对雅思口语考试的形式都不陌生。雅思口语考试分为三个部分，分别是： Part1: Daily conversation (日常对话) Part2: Individual long turn (独自描述) Part3: Two-way discussion (双向讨论) 其中，Part2在口语考试当中与其他两个部分的形式完全不同，它需要考生按照话题卡的要求独自描述该话题卡两分钟，内容应在15-18句话为宜。一般来讲，考生只要按照话题卡上的题目要求逐一描述就可以了，我们在此不赘述。 而让广大考生感到头疼的是Part1和Part3部分。Part1部分内容相对简单，都是我们生活中经常遇到的一些场景话题，如：交友，购物，学习、电影等等。Part3部分难度有所提升，是考生和考官进行相关话题的深入讨论，内容涵盖更广泛，如：社会，教育，环境，道德等等。 但是这两个部分的考试形式是完全一样的——一问一答，考官问问题，我们来回答。这恰恰是中国考生最为害怕的，因为它需要考生在极短的时间内迅速组织好语言，进行回答。这两个部分最需要的是脑力风暴(Brainstorm)，因为在这两个部分中，考生不知从何谈起，容易陷入沉思。我认为，考生必须把脑力风
暴发挥到极致。能否在短时间内让你的想法和观点脱口而出，取决于你思考的速度。 同时，如果我们仔细研读雅思口语考试的评分标准(BandDescriptors)，就不难发现，在考查我们流利度的这一项要求中，无论是6分还是7分的评分标准，都要求考生做到一点：speaks at length.什么意思?答案有一定长度!很多考生连语言都不知道如何组织，又何谈做到答案有一定的长度?下面，我们来看一下扩展方法在Part1和Part3中分别如何进行实战运用： Part1： 在家庭话题中，考官会问到我们这样的问题： Examiner: Do have any brothers or sisters? 你有亲兄妹吗? 这时，如果我们只回答“Yes, I do.”或者“No, Idon't.”都是不妥的。考生可以思考一下：如何运用红色答题法充实答案，并保证答案长度呢?我们不妨这样想，现在大多数考生都是独生子女，没有亲兄妹，所以很多人一时只会反应出一个“No”。然而，表哥表姐我们或许都是有的，那么，我们在这个No之后能够加入什么补充信息呢?Reason?Example? Detail? 显然，这里我们用举例子和给出原因的方法都不太合适，最好是给细节(Detail)，如“onlychild(独生子女)”和“cousin(表兄妹)”的关键词都是我们可以加入的细节。因此，如果按以下方式回答就显得好很多：
如何衡量雅思口语水平的标准与训练方法 如何衡量雅思口语水平的标准与训练方法 衡量雅思口语水平高低主要看以下几个方面： 1.语音、语调是否正确，口齿是否清楚; 2.流利程度; 3.语法是否正确，用词是否恰当，是否符合英语表达习惯; 4.内容是否充实，逻辑是否清楚。 这些是衡量会话能力的主要标准。针对以上标准，采取相应的训练方法，大致可分作两个阶段。 第一阶段：准备阶段，主要是进行模仿。背诵。复述练习。目的是训练正确的语音语调。提高流利程度，培养英语语感。同时，通过各种方式，如阅读。做练习题，听英语磁带，看英语录像和电影等，来扩大词汇量。掌握英语的习惯表达方式，扩大知识面和训练英语逻辑思维能力，准备会话前，要对常用的词(组)、短语等熟练掌握，熟练是与人会话的前提，只有熟练，在会话时才能流利。熟练的标准就是要达到不假思索地脱口而出。 第二阶段：实践阶段，主要进行大量的会话练习，与他人对话、讨论，基础好的可练习口译，自己讲英语故事等等。 (一)模仿 模仿是学习外语主要方法之一，模仿的原则：一要大声模仿。这一点很重要，模仿时要大大方方，清清楚楚，一板一眼，口形要到位，不能扭扭捏捏，小声小气地在嗓眼里嘟嚷。刚开始模仿时，速度要慢些，以便把音发到位，待把音发准了以后，再加快速度。直到能用正常语速把句子轻松地说出来，脱口而出。
大声模仿的目的是使口腔的肌肉充分活动起来，改变多年来形成的肌肉的习惯运动模式(汉语发音的运动模式)，使嘴与大脑逐渐协 调起来，建立起新的口腔肌肉的运动模式(英语发音的运动模式)。 若在练习时总是小声在嗓眼里嘟嗓，一旦需要大声说话时，就可能 发不准音，出现错误。二要随时都准备纠正自己说不好的单词。短 语等。有了这种意识，在模仿时就不会觉得单调。枯燥，才能主动。有意识，有目的地去模仿，这种模仿才是真正的模仿，才能达到模 仿的目的，也就是要用心揣摩、体会。三要坚持长期模仿。一般来说，纯正。优美的语音、语调不是短期模仿所能达到的，对于有英 国英语基础的人学说美国英语是如此，对于习惯于说汉语的人学说 英语更是如此。过度需要一段时间，时间的长短取于自学者的专心 程度。练习模仿是件苦差事，常常练得口干舌燥，此时一定要坚持，喝口水继续练。练模仿和烧水是一个道理，今天烧把火，水刚热， 就把火撤了，明天又是如此，水永远也烧不开。 模仿的标准：模仿要达到什么程度才算模仿好了呢?简单他说就 是要像，如果能够达到是就更好了，但不一定要达到是。像是指模 仿者的语音，语调等都很接近所模仿的语言，是就是不仅在语音。 语调等方面都很接近所模仿的声音，而且非常逼真。连嗓音也基本 一样，简直可以以假乱真。我们不要求也不可能达到这种程度。 模仿的具体方法，第一步，模仿卑词的语音。模仿时要一板一眼，口形要正确，口腔肌肉要充分调动起来，刚开始模仿时，速度不要 过快，用慢速模仿，以便把音发到位，待把音发难了以后，再加快 速度，用正常语速反复多说几遍，直到达到不用想就能用正常语速 把句子轻松他说出来(脱口而出)，对于自己读不准或较生疏的单词 要反复多听几遍，然后再反复模仿，一个单词一个单词地练，在那 些常用词上下功夫，尽量模仿得像一些。第二步，模仿词组的读法。有了第一步的基础，这一步就容易多了。重点要放在熟练程度和流 利程度上，要多练一下连读。失去爆破、不完全爆破，同化等语音 技巧。第四步，段落及篇章模仿，重点在于提高流利程度。打开录 音机或收音机跟着模仿，他说你模仿，同步进行。目的要提高口腔 肌肉的.反应速度，使肌肉和大脑更加协调起来。

雅思口语素材汇总之端午节 雅思口语素材:Dragon Boat Festival(端午节) Qu Yuan The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice(糯米)wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats. The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. This regatta(赛舟会)commemorates the death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. Qu was a minister of the State of Chu situated in present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, during the Warring States Period (475-221BC)(战国时期). He was upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity to the state. However, when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by the State of Qin. The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptile(爬行动物)in the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river. During the Duanwu Festival, a glutinous rice pudding called zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to Qu. Ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds(莲子), chestnuts(栗子), pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often
练好雅思口语的5大方法技巧 今天小编为大家整理的是雅思口语练习的5种方法，只要掌握了这几种方法，拿 下口语就变得很简单了。 1.准备好雅思口语题库 大家应该知道雅思口语是有题库的，每年的1、5、9月份是换题季，换题季会把 一部分旧题换成新题。建议在考试前还是要把可能考到的话题都准备一下，思考一下 自己的答案，准备相关的词汇和表达。不 过，很重要的一点，就是：准备归准备，千万不要背答案。因为背答案在考官严 重是很严重的行为，而且你背没被答案是很明显的，如果你背到的部分回答的很流利，没准备过的回答得结结巴巴，考官简直一眼就能看出你是在背答案。 如果考官判定你是背答案的话，你的口语5.5没得跑了...... 题库上的口语话题很全，可以作为高频口语话题进行每日口语话题练习，所以考 生们一定要人手一套题库，虽然不能背答案，但提前准备话题是没错的。 2. 积累口语词汇高分表达 雅思口语题库怎么用?第一，针对题库里的每个话题积累相关的词汇表达。 第二，整理一下自己的与各个话题相关的经历和点子。第三，把积累的词汇表达 和自己的点子结合起来，形成自己的答案，多说多练习。 下面分享两个可以用来积累地道的词汇表达的网站： ① English Listening Lesson Library Online 雅思口语Part2里面有个题目是“Describe someone who is a good parent.”我需 要对parents的词汇进行收集，就在搜索栏输入“parents”，网页就会跳出很多和父母 相关的素材。 里面的每篇素材都有音频或视频，还有相应的文本，以及对地道表达的解释和举例。 比如下面提到的“a helicopter parent”就是一种非常地道的表达，熟练掌握之后用 在口语考试中绝对能锦上添花。 另外，可以多跟读对应的音频，模仿一下地道的发音和语音语调也有利于提高发 音部分的分数。 3. 提高雅思口语流利度
口语考试如果希望取得高分(比如7分以上)，不但要有一定的口语水平，还要来点“旁门左道”。依据我的经验，口语考试成绩=个人真实的口语水平x现场表现系数x考官认可系数。这三部分中，口语水平短时间内很难有大的提高，虽然完全可以通过充分的准备从而“脱胎换骨”。考官是否认可不能由你把握，但是与你的现场表现直接相关。所以，如果想要在口语考试中拿到高分，最能控制也是最立竿见影的就是你的现场表现。一句话：你要影响考官。 一、雅思口语考试三大破绽 口语考试并非"无机可乘",相反,它的主观性决定了它与生俱来的不准 确性。从两次口语取得8分的经历中,我总结出雅思口语考试有以下破绽,从而使考生能用于影响考官: 1 口语考试的成绩与你的真实水平是正相关的，但不是成正比的。也就是说，在你毫无准备的情况下，它能够测出你属于哪一个档次的，比如说，5-6分是一个中级档次，7-8分是一个高级档次。但是在同一个档次内部，到底是5分还是6分，7分还是8分，完全取决于两个人的主观博弈-你和考官。 2 口语考试的生杀大权掌握在考官手中，所以要“攻城为下，攻心为上”。我的口号是“要把考官当人看”,而不是机器或者大牲口(虽然你心里是这么想的)。口语考试考察的是考生的"沟通"能力,而非单纯的"口语"能力。所以,如果你在考试开始前没有礼貌地和考官打招呼,没有尊重地问问考官的名字,说话的时候表 情冷漠,没有笑容,光目呆滞,总是保持一个声调，使人感到乏味，离开考场时忘了对考官说"再见",总之就是没有给予考官对正常人应有的礼貌和尊重时,你是 休想得高分的。
3 “多算胜，少算不胜”。我们不能打无把握之仗，而要在考试前积极备战，从而使雅思口语考试的科学性在你的成绩上体现的微乎其微。因为口语考试采用的是题库制，所以所有的题目都能从网上找到“机经”。你完全可以做到有的放矢的备考。一旦你有了充分的准备，即使自认为口语水平一般的同学,通过一定的技术处理,完全有可能在口语考试中作到"点石成金",从而取得7分以上的成绩。 二、现场表现系数的四大要素 口语考试要有以下几个要素才能得高分:自信,反应,语音和表情。这就是我说的“现场表现系数”。 1 自信。你有面对考官的自信吗？比如,你是否会很轻松地反问考官:"What can I call you?"从而给考官的笫一印象就是:这个人肯定口语不错,因为其它考生都不敢和我这样!口语考试不同于一般的和鬼子聊天,而是你和一个考官在一间“阴森可怖”的小黑屋里面，你看着他，他看着你。你无权保持沉默，并且你所说的每一句话都将成为承堂证供，因为你面前还摆着一个录音机。你曾有的自信就在你还没有进入口语考场之前的焦急等待中彻底土崩瓦解了。那你就完了，因为你下面的口语考试就会出现技术变形。自信从何而来？准备。如果你对即将考到的题目烂熟于胸，你会不自信吗？如果你已经拥有了大量和鬼子练口语的经历，发现他们无非就是一群来中国“潇洒走一回”的流浪汉，你会不自信吗？所以，试问那些一考口语就紧张的同学，你们有谁在考试之前做到了以上这两点呢？ 2 反应。如果你希望对口语考试中的所有问题都有所准备，这是mission impossible。所以要对没有准备过的问题做出敏锐地反应。我第二次考8分的时候被问到一个问题：“Are physical exercises popular in China？”

如何快速提高雅思口语水平 一. 删除一些其他的爱好与习惯 就像任何一个目标一样，考到一个好的雅思分数会需要你付出时间。很多人目标失败的理由是：他们在定这个雅思考试目标的时候，自己已经很忙。他们也一点都不考虑自己要怎么找时间去开始达成这个新的目标。 我准备一个外语考试的时候，比如就像去年准备DELE西班牙语考试的时候，我会把这件事情作为我的优先事项之一。我也必须清楚的认识到，为了把这件事情做好，我必须每天找时间学习。 换句话说，我得把一些我平时做的其他事情改掉。我必须决定以上哪些事情对自己来说才是目前最重要的，我要把它们中不重要的放弃。 二. 做好时间管理 很显然，如果我每天有6个小时的空闲时间，那有很多我可以利用的方法。不过为了增加一点这个思考实验的难度，我要想象自己跟大部分人一样比较忙。而且，在把我的不重要的爱好与习惯改掉之后，我每天还是只有两个小时可以专门准备雅思。 说实话，如果学生知道如何集中注意力在那两小时，应该够了。当然每天学习4或6个小时也好。不过如果你是分心的边看英语书边看韩剧或者刷手机朋友圈的话，那这6个小时练6分钟的专心学习的价值都没有。 通常，我会把那两个小时分成3个40分钟的阶段,比如07:20-08:00, 13:00-13:40 ， 20:30-21:10。这样大脑会有足够时间处理我在上一个学习阶段所学习的内容，也会有足够时间休息。 如果你一次性学习两个小时的话，会比上面这样累多了，而且大脑累的时候学习效果很低。 三. 我的雅思考试复习方法 如果我是中国人的话，那就意味着我上学的时候已经学了至少3-10年的英语。我很有可能考过CET4,可能也考过CET6。我英语的被动词汇量已经应该有几千个词。 我的阅读和听力很可能已经还不错，不过除非我的朋友群里已经包括几个不会汉语的外国人，否则我的口语与写作应该不怎么样。由于这个问题，我会把我大部分的精力放到改善自己的口语与写作上。还记得我上面说我会把我每天的两个小时分成三个40分钟的学习阶段吗?我会每天用其中的一个阶 段来专门练那两个输出能力(口语和写作)。比如周一，周三，周五与周天练口语，周二，周四，周六练写作。 雅思口语练习方法： 我说练习口语的意思可能跟你对这件事情的定义不太一样。通常我在教我的在线雅思课时都会问那些新学生：“你每过多久会练习口语呢?”他们很多都说自己每天都练一个多小时。可惜的是他们以为朗读和背诵雅思模拟答案就算是练习口语! 我对练习口语这件事情的定义是： 你在跟另一个人讲话。假设我是一个打算准备雅思的中国人，那我会先尽量找一些语言交换伙伴。万一我找不到母语人的话，我的第二选择是跟其他的英语水平不错的中国人练习。 另一个选择是找在线老师。对空闲时间不多的人来说，网上老师可能是唯一的选择。无论是跟朋友还是老师，外国人还是其他中国人，一个想全面准备雅思的人应该每周至少三次跟别人讲英语。 在练习写作的那些时候，我当然会做一些雅思模拟题。不过我不只会做模拟题，我也会写一些其他关于不同话题的文章。比如写一个日记，描述我最喜欢的明星，我对最近的一些新闻的看法，描述我最近看过的书，电影或比赛，描述我的梦想。这样练习写作比只做模拟题好玩多了。那就是一个好事。写那些有意思的话题的文章会帮我们提高自己写作的速度和主动词汇量。写完每个文章后，我会把它上传到italki网站上的'作文簿'版块，为了让母语人修改它。虽然我自己也有提供写作批改和评价

Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Nowadays many people attracted to dangerous sports and other dangerous activities. From my everyday experience and observation I think it is a result of dramatic changes in people's life. Just imagine at old times men had to hunt for food, fight, face many challenges and obstacles. Now our days are quite ordinary with a cup of coffee, donut, computer, desk table and TV. Basically, we do not have to straggle every day for our life and we have nutritious meal without any efforts. So, all we have to do is to contemplate out life. However, I must confess it can be boring. All improvements created for the past centuries made our life easier. Nowadays people look for adventure. They want to face a challenge, prove themselves something, conquer the world, etc. Personally, I think that every person sees different goals in doing dangerous activities. Some people want to add some stress and tension to their lives. From the other side, other people want to eliminate stress and tension gained from their everyday lives. They can forget about all troubles and leave them behind. I believe that dangerous activities give one freedom, happiness, feeling of independence and tone. To sum up, I think that dangerous sports and activities are irreplaceable in our life. Without them out life would be miserable and boring.

雅思口语6分是什么水平 相关：雅思口语5分是什么水平 雅思口语7分是什么水平 雅思口语官方评分标准下载 雅思口语6分相当于什么水平呢？四级过了裸考雅思能到6吗？如果你的四级成绩低于600分，裸考雅思口语很可能在5-5.5分之间。如果你的六级成绩是550分，裸考雅思口语很可能还是5-5.5分。很多四六级考了500多分，雅思口语考4.5分的也比比皆是。雅思口语6分水平，已经足够秒杀中国大部分四六级420-600分的学生群体了。 雅思口语6分里，流利度连贯性，语法，发音和词汇，哪个标准是最重要的。答案是流利度和连贯性。 Fluency and coherence:具备连续至少说2分钟并能使用完整的句子的能力。 请注意，只要你能一直保持不断地说，哪怕中间有些‘um’或者‘uh’也不会影响你拿到6分。 然而，如果你说得很慢，经常有停顿，那么，在说话时出现‘um’和 ‘um’这样的停顿，那么你极有可能会在流利度和连贯性这个评分细则上拿到5分。 对于雅思口语低于6分的同学而言：流利度是重中之重！如果雅思口语流利度不太好，又没有在考试中拿到6分。麦考瑞雅思老师建议大量读素材是个提升流利度的重要方法。 素材：雅思口语语料库 朗读时间：每天2小时 周期：15天
朗读鉴定标准：每个音节发音清晰，重音准确；句子重心和节奏恰当；没有任何犹豫或者习惯性停顿，只会略微停顿在需要隔离语意读地方；速度快。 其它建议：鉴于很多雅思口语5分的同学有发音方面的硬伤，麦考瑞雅思老师则建议这类学生跟读剑桥雅思section1，纠正发音后再作朗读训练。 这样做有效果吗？如果我去写口语答案并且熟练背诵自己的答案呢？ 首先，这样做非常有效，老师有多位口语堵在5分，甚至有发音瑕疵的同学凭借这个方法拿到里雅思口语至少6分的水平；它锻炼的是你的口腔和大脑对于英文词汇的反应能力和串联能力。 其次，写口语答案再熟背也是可行的，但有两个前提要注意：第一，答案的质量要有保证。你的答案至少从内容上看具备了至少6分的水平。如果没有自信，找老师或者英文水平高的人从考试评分标准帮你修改下很有必要。第二，答案的数量不能少于25篇。不要指望五六篇part2原创答案走天下。串一串就是6分了。没有极强的应变能力和快速审题切题能力的同学这样做非常冒险。所以麦考瑞雅思老师建议，你可以多准备些素材和话题。以part 1为切入口，大量积累相关话题表达是个不错的方法。 对于雅思口语已经到了6分，希望更上一层楼的同学而言：请在part 3 流利度上多多下功夫。很多同学能拿6分是因为part2准备得不错，但遇到part3这种应变性较强的环节，流利度比起前一部分就有所下降，因为part3很难被100%准备，很多同学不知怎么回答、或者有了点思路却一时组织不好语言都导致这一部分得分太低，从而拉低了口语总分。从雅思口语6分到7分，其实就是口语语言运用能力要抬升一个台阶，流利度只是这类同学要着手的环节之一。
