雅思口語考試時,大多數烤鴨都會因為緊張出現很多平時練習雅思口語時不會出現的失誤。很多烤鴨在私下與朋友練習雅思口語時侃侃而談,然而一上考場回答問題就立刻心慌氣短,大腦一片空白,一張嘴就詞窮,好不容易憋出一兩句話,還要被追問一句"Why?" 自我感覺非常可憐弱小又無助。所以今天我們就來聊一聊如何增加口語表達的細節,解決那些雅思口語考試中的問題!

官方解釋Fluency and coherence
官方在對Fluency and coherence的解釋里,給出了這樣一條提分建議:Build on your point of view by adding a few details.
(雅思官方關于Fluency and coherence的建議)
并給出了一個范例:
Q: What do you do?
A: I'm a teacher.
A: I have been a high school mathematics teacher in New York for over 5 years.
相比個回答,第二個回答明顯給出了更多的細節:high school, mathematics, New York, 5 years。這些細節讓整個回答更豐富、詳盡,同時也更能展現出考生的口語能力("is willing to speak at length"是 "Fluency and coherence" 6分 對應的要求之一)。
那么如何增加細節呢?
增加細節的方法之一是:往具體了說。
例1:How did you spend your last Saturday?
大部分人給的答案都類似這樣的:Well, I just stayed at home and did some housework.
但是"stay at home"是個很籠統、概括的說法,宅在家里也會做很多具體的事,賴個床(get up late)、做個飯(make breakfast/brunch)、洗個衣服(do the laundry)、追個劇(binge watch ...)、跟朋友聊會兒天(exchange some chitchat about ...)、無聊刷個微博朋友圈(mindlessly scroll on social media)······都屬于stay at home。
有人同樣不咋出門,她是這樣回憶自己的一天的:
舉一反三,我們可以具體說說自己是怎么度過某一天的:
Well, as a late sleeper, I got up at around 10 o'clock and made brunch for myself. Then I did the laundry while bing-watching a popular reality show. In the afternoon, I exchanged some chitchat about the show with my friend. And in the evening, I killed some time by mindlessly scrolling on social media. In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other Saturday.
例2:Are you a tidy person?
大部分人給的答案都類似這樣的:No, I'm not this kind of person, because sometimes I mess up my room.
"mess up my room"同樣是個比較籠統、概括的說法,衣服不收拾、鞋子東一只西一只、書桌很亂、東西隨手放,都會讓房間看起來比較雜亂,你是哪一種呢?
不愛收拾房間的大有人在,對此,潔癖黨表示有話要說:
關于房間是否整潔,兩人在互相吐槽中提到的具體細節有:餐盤(a tray of flatware)放沙發上、咖啡桌上亂得像線下閑魚交易現場(like a tiny garage sale)、給所有東西分類(sort ... by ...)/整理(organize vt.)/貼標簽(label vt.),需要重新整理(straighten up vi.)、分門別類給衣服排序(organize vt.)
記住這些具體的例子,就可以自信地來聊聊自己是否是個愛整潔的人了:
No, I'm not this kind of person, and most of the time my room is a little messy. I'm so used to putting clothes on the couch when I'm home, and it rarely occurs to me that I should sort or organize things in my bedroom. I just dislike straightening up.
最后總結一下方法,那就是盡量避免過于籠統的表述,凡事說具體些,細節自然就有了,就達到"is willing to peak at length"這一要求了。
以上就是讓雅思口語的表達變得具有細節的方法了,希望烤鴨們都可以早與雅思分手。還想了解其他關于雅思備考的小技巧,請多多關注培頓 教育網站,還可戳對話框免費領取雅思題庫哦!
