雅思口语part2和3万能模板TSE法
这个模板被称为是TSE方法。
T:代表的是Topic Sentence
S: 代表的是Supporting Ideas
E:代表的是 Examples
雅思口语考题基本上是五大原则:人,物,地点,事件,媒体。
T:在讲五大原则任何一个的时候,务必把这个原则与你联系在一起,开头的时候有个主题句,通过这句话引入下面的支持观点,这个主题句可以通过一到两句话来完成,但最好是对你有影响的。描述这个人---对你有影响;描述这个物----对你有意义;描述这个地点---对你有回忆等等。。。
S:支持观点,在这里要注意,我相信很多同学都会用观点来支持自己,但太过于白话文,大部分用例子来支撑,部分考生喜欢用For example,First , secondly, last but not the least来讲分论点,但这样给考官的感觉是在背作文,而不是真正的口语。在S这的观点一般是需要比较正式点的语言,每讲的一句话最好不少于5个单词以下,但最好不超过5句话。过渡词用什么好呢?最好用well , also , actually ,as a matter of fact , you know 等等词。
E:当然就是找到支持观点的例子,恰当的例子,但是字数不能过多,要简练。
雅思考试口语范文之上学时的朋友
雅思口语范文:上学时的朋友,Describe a school friend you remember well,You should say,who this person was,what he/she looked like,Are there any differences between childhood friends and friends in ... Describe a school friend you remember well.
You should say:
who this person was
what he/she looked like
Part 3
Are there any differences between childhood friends and friends in adulthood?
Actually yes. First, a childhood friendship has innocence and there are easier ties to make with someone when you are younger. There are also easier ways to find things in common with another person when you are younger. When you’re older it’s kind of like having the safety net removed. Then, you can do something as a kid in a friendship and it’s either cute or brushed off. As an adult it’s a little harder because if something is misconstrued then even the most rational person can get upset.
Which do you think is better, to have a large group of friends or just a few close friends?
Definitely a few good friends. Less worry and problems to deal with. I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to close friends. I feel more comfortable hanging out with my small band of pals, and I know I can be myself and I trust them all implicitly.
Well, the way people make friends today is not much different from the way people used to. You meet someone and hang out with them and see if your personality clicks.
What do you think is the value of teaching history in school?
History always helps us to understand the present about a person, society or nation. For example, history of the Egyptian, Indian and Chinese civilizations gives us a good idea of how people lived, worked or fought in wars in the past and how the world has progressed over the centuries. Take a passion to study history you will discover that many countries have so many amazing secrets, stories and knowledge to offer. And the past can in some way help us to predict about the future
雅思考试口语范文之业余时间
SPARE TIME
55. What do you usually do in your spare time? ( 5 - 6 )
55. What are your spare time interests? ( 5 - 6 )
As a matter of fact, I have very few spare times these days. My studies are so important to me that I have given up all my other activities. I used to love playing tennis, but now I simply do not have the time.
55. What do you usually do in your spare time? ( 7 - 8 )
55. What are your spare time interests? ( 7 - 8 )
Well, these days, surfing on the Internet has been my only interest in leisure time. I have just bought my first computer, and love to look for exciting web sites that I have not known before. Moreover, by means of web cameras I am able to watch what wild animals are doing in many parts of the world. I particularly like to watch the polar bears playing with their cubs. Surfing on the Internet is of course very time consuming, so I don’t really have time for anything else.
56. Do you often watch TV? What is your favorite program? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, I often watch TV. My favorite program is called ‘Discovery’. It is not a science fiction but a documentary on real life events and happenings. For example, it had a program on the latest eclipse of the sun that occurred at the end of the year. The program also talks about nature. Last week it explained how some birds have adapted themselves to survive in a desert.
57. Do you think watching TV is a waste of time? ( 5 - 8 )
No, I don’t think so. We can learn a lot from watching TV and it is a good way to relax. Soap operas help me to relax, while the documentaries are informative. Lastly, I believe that TV has become the best source of information these days. For example, it is a fast and convenient way to find out about the latest news from all over the world.
雅思考试口语范文之最爱的运动
What is your favorite sport? ( 5 - 6 )
My favorite sport is basketball. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, it is very healthy for a young person like myself. For example, it will help to develop the muscles in my body. Secondly, it can be played outdoors, which means that I am able to breathe a lot of fresh air while I am playing. Lastly, it is not a contact sport. What I mean is that the chances of getting injured are not great.
What is your favorite sport? ( 7 - 8 )
My favorite sport is table tennis, also known as ping-pong. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, it is very healthy for a young person like myself. For example, it will help to develop my reflexes. Secondly, it is an indoor sport. What I mean to say is that we are able to play it irrespective of the weather conditions. In my hometown, this is important because of the long winters. Thirdly, the equipment needed to play table tennis is inexpensive. For instance, you can use any table of a reasonable size. Al you then need is a ball, two bats, and a net. Lastly, table tennis is a sociable sport. That is to say, two or four people can play at one time, while a number of spectators can enjoy the game as well.
Do men and woman prefer the same sports? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, there are few sports in which woman do not participate these days. For example, the woman’s football team from China did well in the Woman’s World Cup held in Germany recently.
What sports are played in your country? ( 5 - 8 )
There are many sports played in China. Allow me to mention a few examples. Basketball and football is played mainly by the younger generation. Football is popular amongst Chinese ladies. We have a strong national team who has done well in the recent World Cup. All age groups play table tennis, better known as ping-pong. Because it is an indoor sport, it is particularly popular in winter. Because of their relatively small physique, Chinese people play the so-called small-ball games like badminton well. Swimming, skating, and volleyball are popular as well.
What is the most popular sport in your country? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s a tough question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe football is the most popular sport. For example, all the big stadiums in our country are football stadiums. Secondly, the majority of youngsters are interested in the sport. For example, during the recent World Cup held in Japan and Korea, many in China followed the competition closely.
What is the most popular sport in your country? ( 5 - 8 )
Table tennis is extremely popular in China. That is to say, many people of all ages like to play it. China is often regarded as the world champions. For example, we often win a number of medals in this sport at the Olympic Games.
What are the sporting facilities like in your region? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s a good question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I suppose the sporting facilities are acceptable. For example, we are able to play any sport that we like. The problem is that the facilities are not available to everyone. At the moment many of the facilities are owned by universities and are available only to the students of that particular university only. Lastly, I believe the fact that the Olympic games are being held in China in will help to solve the problem to some extent. For example, the government will have to build many new stadiums and facilities in the next six years. Hopefully after the games, these new facilities will become available to the general public.
What other sporting facilities would you like to see in your region? ( 5 - 8 )
Firstly, I would like to see more baseball courts that are open to the general public. For example, at the moment many of the courts are owned by universities and are available only to the students of that particular university. Secondly, I believe more youth centers should be built in our cities. This would help in getting young people to engage in physically healthy activities, and not sit in front of computers and TV’s all day long.
雅思口语答题 篇2
关键词:雅思,口语考试,备考
雅思 (International English Language Testing System, IELTS) 即国际英语水平测试系统, 是为准备进入以英语为主导教学语言国家所属的高等教育机构就读进修的学习者设置的语言测试体系, 也用于测试准备到以英语为母语国家 (主要指英联邦国家) 定居人士的英语水平。
准备雅思考试的过程是提高英语水平的过程。雅思考试包括口语、听力、阅读、写作4部分, 相比托福或国内其他英语考试, 更能全面锻炼学习者的英语听、说、读、写能力。我国大多数学生学习英语以读写为主, 口语考试是薄弱环节, 但这是相对容易提高的部分, 充分而正确地准备雅思考试, 对提升学生英语口语能力有很大帮助。
雅思口语有4个评分标准, 即流畅程度和连贯性 (Fluency and Coherence) 、词汇量 (Lexical Resource) 、语法结构及精确度 (Grammatical Range and Accuracy) 和发音 (Pronunciation) , 考生最终得到的口语分数即这4项所得分数的平均值。因此, 依据每个评分标准进行针对性训练显得非常重要。笔者认为, 朗读训练、背诵、问答练习、词汇积累及注意观察身边事是英语学习者雅思口语备考的着手点。
1 朗读训练
朗读既是学习语言的一项基本训练, 又是学好语言的基础, 也是使学生正确掌握语音、语调, 培养语言感悟能力的有效方法之一。在雅思口语考试过程中, 考官会注意考生的语音是否容易听懂, 与以英语为母语的人的语音、语调和节奏感的相近程度如何, 讲话是否平稳、流畅。因此, 朗读训练符合雅思口语考试评分标准中的2点要求:Fluency and Coherence及Pronunciation。由此, 我们可以简单地将朗读训练分为“快速朗读”和“模仿朗读”2部分。
建议学生每天早晨利用半小时时间进行快速朗读训练, 一方面有利于培养学生语感, 另一方面有利于锻炼学生在说英语过程中嘴的灵活性。快速朗读, 顾名思义要“快”, 但也要“准”, 很多学生在快速朗读时一味地追求“快”, 而忽略了发音的清晰度和准确性。因此, 快速朗读训练前要做好充分的准备工作, 如确认单词的发音、含义, 理解文章内容等。
每天进行模仿朗读可以有效纠音和练习发音方法, 学生可以从简单的单词、词组、句子的精确模仿延伸到段落、文章的模仿。在模仿朗读过程中, 除了要注意流利性和发音之外, 还要注意重读、连读、断句、语音语调、有效停顿等模仿要素。模仿朗读训练是快速朗读训练的升华, 可同时练习听和说2方面能力, 效果十分明显。
2 背诵
背诵是英语学习的必经之路, 是许多优秀中外学者都主张或使用过的一种学习策略, 它可以弥补非英语学习环境里输入信息不足的缺憾。背诵有许多方法, 针对雅思口语备考, 笔者建议学生定期进行“深度背诵”和“总结归纳背诵”。
2.1 深度背诵
根据艾宾浩斯记忆曲线可知, 输入信息经过人的注意过程的学习后, 便成为人的短时记忆, 若没有及时复习便会遗忘这些知识;若及时复习, 这些短时记忆就会成为长时记忆, 从而在大脑中保存很长时间。因此, “深度背诵”在英语学习过程中是必要也是必需的。一方面, 大量课文背诵可以帮助学生增加输入信息量;另一方面, 学生对所背诵过的词汇、句型会习惯性地应用, 符合雅思口语考试中Grammatical Range的要求, 即语法的准确性、时态的准确性和句式的多样性。
那么什么是“深度背诵”呢?我们以《新概念英语第三册》Lesson 8 A famous monastery为例[1], 简述熟记一篇课文的过程。
第一步:解决课文中生词, 确认发音和用法;
第二步:熟读整篇课文;
第三步:快速朗读课文;
第四步:熟读课文汉语释义;
第五步:将文章分为两大部分和若干小段;
第一部分:
Location:The Great St.Bernard Pass~lies about a mile away.
Dogs:For hundreds of years~were used as watchdogs even in Roman times.
Now:Now that a tunnel ash been built~attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
第二部分:
Summer:During the summer months~have to be kept in a special enclosure.
Winter:In winter, however~always receive a warm welcome at St.Bernard's monastery.
第六步:按小段背诵课文汉语释义;
第七步:根据汉语释义朗读并记忆英语课文;
第八步:根据汉语释义回忆背诵英语课文;
第九步:巩固熟练背诵英语课文;
第十步:截取课文进行英汉互译背诵, 经常回顾。
综上所述, “深度背诵十步曲”对英语学习者备考雅思乃至提高英语学习水平有着深远影响。
2.2 总结归纳背诵
雅思口语考试的第二部分为常见话题陈述, 考官会出示一个话题卡 (Topic Card) , 考生需要遵循由表及里、由浅入深、由描述到解释的原则, 首先引出主题, 所陈述内容应尽量覆盖所有问题;同时又有所侧重, 做到有头有尾, 详略得当。这需要考生提前在草稿纸上写下想法和要点, 即列提纲。因此, 备考中, 总结归纳性背诵很有必要, 建议学生每天利用2~3小时对所学内容或课文进行归纳总结, 针对相应问题做出回答, 在整理之后熟练朗读这些内容并背诵, 进而达到自然背诵的程度, 即要求学生背诵时表情自然, 理解所说内容并能与他人进行眼神交流。
总结归纳背诵实质上是锻炼学生口头作文能力, 这也是大多数学生的学习难点。相信经过一段时间的练习, 学生可以从一开始先写下所归纳总结的内容再背诵, 到直接口头总结陈述一件事情或是话题, 提高了学生的英语综合应用能力。
3 问答练习
雅思口语学习有很多种方法, 但应因人而异。通常状况下, 最有效、最方便的是寻找合适的学习伙伴进行交流性练习或是考场模拟。问题可以涉及个人基本信息、生活或学习、兴趣爱好、社会文化等方面, 不但可以检验学生自学成果, 练习反应能力, 给学生提供更多英语交流机会;也可以消除学生应试时的紧张心理, 灵活地将所学内容运用到实际对话中, 从而从容而自然地应对考官提出的各种问题。
4 词汇积累
雅思口语考试评分标准中明确提出一点:Lexical Resources。因此, 学生在平日的积累中就应注意词汇的广度、准确性、多样性和灵活性。
大多数英语学习者都因词汇量有限而感到困扰, 因为词汇量太少导致了口语表达中的局限性。针对这个问题, 笔者建议学生在每个话题后面都应列出2项内容:辅助词汇 (Supporting Vocabulary) 和有用的表达式 (Useful Expression) , 这2项内容就好比学生观点的原料库, 可以给大家提供丰富的词汇选择。
5 注意观察身边事
很多学生对问题的理解尚停留在表面, 缺乏对事情的深层看法, 而我们身边的网络、书籍、报刊杂志都是扩大知识面、增加输入信息的有效资源。此外, 让学生养成记日记的良好习惯, 多观察身边事, 记一些自己的感触, 这对于学生形成自己的观点十分有利。

雅思阅读简答题透析 篇3
题型特点与解题思路
简答题要求考生根据文章内容回答由特殊疑问词引导的疑问句。该题型在雅思阅读的单篇文章中一般有2~3道题。
题型特点
该题型具有以下三个特点。
第一,提问词为特殊疑问词,包括what、when、where、who、which、why和how等。考生要明确每道题询问的疑问词是什么,然后有针对性地答题,不能答非所问。
第二,题目遵循顺序一致原则。也就是说,题目顺序与题目答案在原文中出现的顺序一致。
第三,答案多为名词性原词重现。简答题的题目答案绝大多数都是名词性质的词(包括名词、动名词等),而且答案都是来自于原文中的原词,考生作答时一般无需作任何改动。
解题思路
该题型的解题思路和步骤包括以下四点。
第一,考生明确答案的字数限制。关于字数限制的要求会出现在题目要求中,通常是以“NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS”或“NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER”的形式出现,因此考生要仔细阅读题目要求。
第二,考生阅读每道题目,划出题干中出现的可用于定位的词(简称“定位词”),并对所填答案的词性或其他特征进行预判。划出的定位词应具备以下两个特点:①不容易被同义替换;②特征明显、易于查找(关于定位词的特点,具体请参阅笔者刊登在本刊2011年5月号的文章《雅思阅读定位方法新演绎》)。对于所填答案的词性或其他相关特征,考生可通过特殊疑问词及其在句中所指代的成分进行判断。
第三,考生根据题干定位词回原文查找相关答案信息出现的地方。基于对真题的大量研究笔者发现,只有定位词出现的地方才有可能出现题目答案,所以考生应重视训练自己的快速定位能力。
第四,定位到答案信息后,考生阅读定位词所在的原文内容,结合对所填答案特征的预判确定最终的题目答案。考生应认真读懂定位到的原文内容,确认该原文内容与题干是否构成同义表述,在构成同义表述的原文内容中找出应填答案,并确保所填答案与题目的内容要求相一致。除此之外,考生还应再确认一下所填答案的特征是否与自己预判的相一致。
下面笔者以《剑桥雅思考试全真试题集4》Test 3阅读部分Passage 2里的简答题为例来讲解上述解题步骤在实际做题中的应用。
题目
Answer the questions below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage for each answer.
18. What are the sections of the earth’s crust, often associated with volcanic activity, called?
19. What is the name given to molten rock from the mantle?
20. What is the earthquake zone on the Pacific Ocean called?
21. For how many years did the Mount Pinatubo remain inactive?
题目解析
首先,考生在阅读题干之前,应明确此题的字数限制是不超过三个单词或一个数字,在具体答题时应铭记这一点。下面进入具体的解题环节。
第18题:首先,该题可选择crust作为定位词。由特殊疑问词what及其在题干句子中指代的成分考生可知,答案在题干句子中充当主语,由于题干句子中的谓语动词是复数形式are,因此答案应为可数名词的复数形式。接下来,考生通过定位词crust回原文可定位到如下相关答案信息:“The flow, thought to be in the form of convection currents, is powerful enough to fracture the ‘eggshell’ of the crust into plates, and keep them bumping and grinding against each other, or even overlapping, at the rate of a few centimetres a year. These fracture zones, where the collisions occur, are where earthquakes happen. And, very often, volcanoes.”最后,考生需要准确理解定位到的这句话。其中的“The flow is powerful enough to fracture the ‘eggshell’ of the crust into plates”的意思是“这种对流力量巨大,足以使地壳这一‘蛋壳’碎裂成为多个板块”。通过这句话考生可以推断出plates是由crust碎裂而成的。换句话说, plates其实就是crust的组成部分。plates就对应于题干中的sections of the earth’s crust (地球地壳的组成部分)。原文中“These fracture zones, where the collisions occur, are where earthquakes happen. And, very often, volcanoes”的意思是“在碰撞发生的这些破碎地带会发生地震,同时也往往会发生火山喷发”,也就是说,地壳碎裂的地方往往会发生火山喷发,这一点与题干中的often associated with volcanic activity相对应,由以上分析考生可以得出本题的答案是plates,这与考生之前预判的答案特征(可数名词的复数形式)也是一致的。
第19题:该题可选择molten rock和mantle作为题干定位词。从疑问词what在题干句子中充当主语以及谓语动词是is这两点考生可以断定,本题答案为可数名词单数或不可数名词。而从name一词考生也可以判断出本题答案应为一个具体的名称。然后,考生利用定位词回原文可定位到如下相关答案信息:“Sometimes it is slow: vast bubbles of magma—molten rock from the mantle—inch towards the surface, cooling slowly, to show through as granite extrusions.”在这句话中,molten rock from the mantle这一名词词组前后都出现了破折号,表明其是magma的同位语。也就是说,molten rock from the mantle与magma是同一事物,只不过magma是该事物的名称,而molten rock from the mantle是对该事物的解释与说明,由此考生可以得出本题的答案是magma。题目的答案magma与考生之前预判的答案特征(可数名词的单数形式)也是一致的。其实,考生如果能够认识magma (岩浆)、molten (被熔化了的)和mantle (地幔)这三个单词的话,通过句义也不难确认答案是magma。
第20题:该题可选择the Pacific Ocean作为题干定位词。由疑问词what充当宾语以及题干句子的谓语为is called可知,本题答案为可数名词的单数形式或不可数名词。考生利用定位词回原文可定位到如下相关答案信息:“The most dramatic of these is the Pacific ‘ring of fire’ where there have been the most violent explosions—Mount Pinatubo near Manila, Mount St Helen’s in the Rockies and El Chichon in Mexico about a decade ago, not to mention world-shaking blasts like Krakatoa in the Sudan Straits in 1883.”在这段原文中,the Pacific对应于题干中的the Pacific Ocean,而where there have been the most violent explosions对应于题干中的the earthquake zone,那么,where所指代的地点名称自然也就是the earthquake zone的名称。根据语法知识,考生不难发现,where是关系代词,指代的是其前面的先行词ring of fire。由此考生可以推断出本题的答案为ring of fire,这与考生之前预判的答案特征(可数名词单数形式或不可数名词)也是一致的。
第21题:该题可选择Mount Pinatubo作为题干定位词。根据疑问词how many years及其在句中作时间状语这一点,考生可以推断出答案为阿拉伯数字(或数词)与years的结合。考生利用定位词回原文可定位到如下相关答案信息:“The most dramatic of these is the Pacific ‘ring of fire’ where there have been the most violent explosions—Mount Pinatubo in Manila, Mount St Helen’s in the Rockies and El Chichon in Mexico about a decade ago, not to mention world-shaking blasts like Krakatoa in the Sudan Straits in 1883.”这句话中虽然提到了Mount Pinatubo,也提到了时间about a decade ago,但这里指的是“大约在十年前,Mount Pinatubo发生了火山喷发”,而题干问的是“Mount Pinatubo处于休眠状态有多长时间”,所以从这段原文中考生找不到该题答案。考生如果继续往下找,会发现定位词Mount Pinatubo第二次出现在以下原文内容中:“In the case of Mount Pinatubo, this took 600 years.”这句话的大意是“以Mount Pinatubo为例,这个过程经历了六百年”,这里考生需弄清楚this指代的内容才能理解这个时间代表的含义。考生联系该句的上文,会发现this指代的是quiet period (休眠期间),由此考生可以推出本题的答案是600 years,该答案与考生之前预判的答案特征(阿拉伯数字与years的结合)也是一致的。
注意事项总结
在文章最后,笔者来总结一下解答雅思阅读简答题的一些注意事项。
1 答案的字数并不一定要达到题目要求中字数限制的上限,答案究竟由几个单词构成要根据原文中的具体内容来确定,但绝对不能超过字数限制。
2 在雅思阅读的所有题型中,只有简答题的答案涉及字母大、小写的问题。通常来说,简答题的答案一律小写,除非所填写的单词本身就是首字母大写的单词。
3 考生不仅可以利用特殊疑问词来预判答案的词性,而且可以利用它来预判答案的内容或形式。比如第21题的疑问词for how many years就能提示考生本题的答案是某个时间段,考生在定位和确定答案时可利用这一点来提高自己解题的效率。
4 语法知识的掌握程度对解题有很大影响。如第19题的解题内容就涉及同位语方面的知识。建议考生复习划分句子成分、主谓一致、同位语与插入语、各类从句等相关语法知识,提高自己的语法水平。
5 考生平时应注重积累雅思阅读题目中出现的相关学科的单词,单词量的提高有助于考生提高对文章内容的理解速度与理解程度。
以上便是笔者对雅思阅读简答题的讲解和分析。希望这篇文章能够给在该题型备考方面存在问题和困难的考生带来一些切实的指导和帮助。最后,衷心地祝愿各位考生考试顺利!

“Good heavens,” he said, “what is this?”
“It’s bean soup,” she replied.
“I don’t care what it’s been,” he replied. “What is it now?”
Tender, Loving Care
Diagnosing my problem as water on the knee (膝盖积水), the doctor prescribed complete bed rest. When we got home, my husband set me up in a lounge chair and brought my knitting and some books.
雅思口语part1答题技巧讲解 篇4
对于Would you say your hometown is a good place to live?这样的问题,在不使用Yes or No的回答方式下,我们可以尝试使用更为强烈的表达方式,如:Definitely, Absolutely, You bet. 这些都是表示Yes的更为高端的说法。
其实并不难,只是换了一个词而已,但这样的表达方式无论是在Jerry美国的日常生活中,还是在我与美国其他的外教IELTS Teachers 沟通的时候,我们都会建议考生能够用上类似的词汇以满足雅思口语的评分标准以便达到更高的分数。
有没有感觉原来雅思口语还可以这么简单,但怎么自己就没有想到?没关系有Jerry在,我会一项一项告诉你。
雅思口语答题 篇5
你将进入一个彻底的猫奴的躯体,用这种角色的视角来重构一个理想的猫世界。我自己的猫主子,我新结识的猫奴朋友,我敬仰的动物救助者,成功的宠物医院经营者,童年被猫咬的有趣经历,新生的小猫作为礼物送给他人,甚至包括我品尝的外国食物(某种猫粮),有趣的以猫为主题的咖啡馆,迷人的以猫闻名的城市,乃至一条奇怪的校规——不许带宠物进学校。其他母题类似操作。 此处脑洞很重要。
雅思口语part2答题套路步骤3. 准备好基本词汇
当你打算做个彻底的猫奴了,如何让你的人设丰满逼真,不在考官面前崩掉?攒一波基本猫奴词汇和观点吧。注意这个操作,在后续的步骤中要持续做,不停积累增补。
我能想到的一点:猫奴cat slave 主子 my owner 猫奴圈子 cat lover group 撸猫:petting the cat 如厕训练:potty training 梳理:groom 猫抓板:scratch board
pee/poop/puke on a sofa/carpet… 晚上活跃 active in the night
掉毛:to shed hair 喜欢黏着: love to cuddle 猫厕所 sand pot
Cats are not assholes. They just have a big personality and they pretty much do what they want.
If you pet them right at the young age they behave very nicely afterwards. You just have to show them whats right and whats not while they are kittens.
Older pets do not handle new arrivals well.
如何找这些最核心的母题词汇或表达呢,请参考我们的《主题词汇语料搜集指导手册》
雅思口语part2答题套路步骤4. 构思故事线
从雅思口语的四类话题划分:人物、物品、地点和经历。建立起跟具体话题在逻辑可以自洽的故事线。此处,虚实结合很重要。
比如,以购物为母题,开始设想全世界都是购物狂的癫狂之旅。

雅思阅读答题技巧 篇6
当你每篇文章的完成时间控制在 20 分钟左右,小站君建议大家阅读文章的时间可以控制在 6 - 8 分钟,做题时间控制在 12 - 14 分钟,这样能够保证每道题都至少分配到了 1 分钟。
雅思阅读答题技巧2:找到你最熟悉的话题
拿到试卷后,建议大家先快速浏览3篇文章的题目,了解各自的文章主题,然后选择你最熟悉的话题,或者你觉得最容易把握的一篇。毕竟,我们每个人的所学专业、兴趣爱好和经历都不一样,有时候很多考生觉得陌生的主题,有可能反而是你的擅长领域。
比如,剑桥 12 中 Test 8 的阅读部分,第三篇文章题目为:UK companies need more effective boards of directors,属于金融和企业管理方面的主题,很多同学都觉得比较难,但是也有同学刚好主修金融专业,他们就可以首先从这一篇来入手。
雅思阅读答题技巧3:合理规划做题策略
雅思阅读的题目总共包含几大类:Heading, Matching,TFNG (YNNG),Multiple-Choice,Completion,Summary。
本质上其实可以分为:判断题和填空题。
因为 Heading 题其实是去判断小标题和原文哪段信息相符合;Matching 是判断每道题和原文哪部分信息相一致,TFNG (YNNG)也是判断某个信息与原文是否相符合;Multiple-Choice 是判断每一个选项是否在原文有依据。而 Completion,Summary都是填空题。
既然判断题和填空题都是去原文找依据,所以也不必过分在意做题顺序。具体的做题策略可以参考如下:
1)审题(仔细阅读每个题目要求)
2)定位(根据题干和选项的关键词用笔记在文章中进行定位)

一、雅思口语测试的评分体系
雅思口语测试主要分为三个内容,依次是考生的自我介绍、对外籍考官所给的卡片进行描述和深刻的探讨。第一部分测试的具体内容,即在考生进行简短的自我介绍后,外籍考官会提问考生一些生活中的问题,例如家庭成员、平时的兴趣爱好等,以此来初步掌握考生的英语水平,一般第一部分测试大概需要三分钟的时间。第二部分测试的具体内容是对外籍考官所给出的卡片进行叙述,在叙述前一般会给考生一分钟左右的思考的时间,然后考生再进行两分钟左右的叙述,针对考生的陈述,外籍考官会提出相应的几个问题让考生进行解答。最后一部分是深刻讨论,外籍考官将会和考生讨论较抽象的问题,需要考生在表达自己的观点时不仅应该思路清晰还要表达完整,并且能根据自己的观点进行一定的话题延伸,一般要求第三部分花费五分钟左右的时间。而雅思口语测试的评分主要从四个方面进行评判,即词汇的使用、表述的流畅性、单词的发音、句子的多样性,而以上四项的评分分别分为九个分数段,依次对应考生的雅思口语测试的水平,在评分完毕之后,将所得成绩相加计算出平均值,即该考生所得口语测试分数。从雅思口语考试的具体内容来看,其口试内容涉及范围广,同时对考生的英语应用能力考查全面。
二、高校英语口语教学近况
最近几年,由于大学英语改革不断深化,使得高校将教学重点放在学生英语的听力和表达能力上,不过由于现实的一些原因使得高校学生的英语口语能力还有一定的欠缺,口语教学效果不明显,以下几点是制约口语教学效果的主要原因:
1. 传统英语教学形式对学生影响过深。
某些大学英语教师仍然将课堂的教学重点放在语法及单词的讲解上,忽视了学生学习的自觉性的培养,不注重激发学生学习的能动性,使得学生在学习英语时只会死记硬背。而目前我国的四六级英语考试中同样缺少口语考试这一内容,最后学生会认为英语口语能力和英语成绩没有任何关系,造成学习英语口语没有动力。
2. 学生生活的环境不利于口语的练习。
我国目前高校中非英专业学生的英语学习主要采用大班教学的方式,而且课时受到限制,使得在英语课上教师过于主动,学生过于被动,学生英语口语练习机会比较少,一般都是用英语回答与课文相关的问题。其次,由于高校的制度以及其它因素的限制,使得外教人数过少,限制了学生和外教之间的有效交流。
3. 没有客观的口语评价系统。
我国目前的英语教学大纲过分注重学生的读写能力,使得口语教学的地位受到影响,而且在英语的期末测试中也没有口语测试这一内容,虽然部分学校有口语测试环节,不过评价的标准无法体现学生的真实能力。同时,在日常的英语教学中教师没有及时评价学生的口语表现和纠正学生的语法错误,这也对口语教学的开展产生了不利的影响。
三、雅思口语测试给高校英语口语教学的启示
1. 效仿雅思口语测试。
雅思口语测试是被国际所接受的测试,其指向性明确,同样雅思测试注重不同文化之间的交流,在雅思口语测试时,交流的内容往往与实际生活相关。例如,学习、娱乐以及文化等。而这些同样与我们高校英语口语日常教学内容重合,所以高校英语口语的日常教学可以模仿雅思口语测试所具备的特征,以此加强学生的交际能力。
2. 完善的口语评判系统。
我国目前还没有统一的口语评价标准,所以建议各个高校适当的参考雅思口语测试的评价标准,同时把每个等级应该达到的水平明确,再结合自身的情况制定本校的适合学生的英语口语评判系统。其次,教师应该在现有的教材上收集雅思口语测试中多次提到的话题并设立题库,提高口语测试的有效性和可靠性。最后,也可以在口语测试时使用录音设备,真实的记录学生的英语口语的交际能力。
结语:雅思考试的科学性、客观性毋庸置疑。所以我国高校英语口语教学应该对其充分借鉴,并不断对我国英语口语教学的模式进行改革和完善,最终达到提高学生的英语口语实际应用能力的目的。

复述法高效备考雅思口语考试 篇8
如何复述网上的资料
雅思口语考试分为三个部分,第一和第三部分要求考生回答考官的问题,第二部分要求考生针对话题卡内容进行1~2分钟即兴陈述。不管是对哪个部分、哪个话题进行练习,考生如果不知道从何说起,都可以先上网查阅与题目主题相关的资料,找到合适的语料,之后再进行复述练习。首先,考生可登录Yahoo Answers、Quora、China Daily、Time、Wikipedia等网站搜索所需资料,也可以用谷歌直接搜索主题词。对于在谷歌检索到的结果,考生最好选择出自英语国家网站或中国正规英语网站的文章,避免用不地道的英语资料。之后,考生可将资料复制下来,并把文中的关键词和地道表达一一划出,然后进行归纳总结。此时划出的关键词可能比较凌乱,考生可以稍微将其整理一下,使之变成一个有逻辑的提纲。如果有必要,考生也可以在提纲中加入自己的想法,比如填上几个关键词,以帮助自己复述用。最后,考生对照提纲,用自己的话把资料复述一遍。下面笔者用具体实例来详细说明。
雅思口语第二部分有一个让很多考生不知从何说起的话题——衣服。关于这个话题,历年曾考过介绍a piece of clothing、a traditional Chinese dress、a piece of clothing you wear on a special occasion等。针对这样的考题,考生首先需要准备一段关于传统服饰的素材,比如代表中国女性特色的旗袍就可以用在以上关于衣服的所有话题中。考生可以在谷歌上直接搜索qipao,可以找到下面这个网站链接:http://www.chinavista.com/experience/qipao/qipao.html。该网站上关于旗袍的介绍如下。
The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
The name “cheongsam,” meaning simply “long dress,” entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China’s Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as qipao and has a history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into “banners” (qi) and called them “banner people” (qiren), who then became loosely known as the Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called a qipao or “banner dress.” Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high and closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitted waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, it can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of other countries as well.
这篇文章对旗袍的介绍清晰简练,考生很容易就能划出其中可用于考题的内容(如下划线所示),例如a fitted waist (收腰)、set off the beauty of the female shape (显身材)、sleeves (袖子)等。但考生如果不查资料的话,光靠自己想是无法表达得如此地道和准确的。不过,网络上的这段介绍毕竟是书面语,文章长度和结构都不是基于雅思口语考题的,所以考生需要根据雅思口语考试的要求对这篇文章稍作整理。具体整理步骤如下。
第一步:还原考题
Describe an item of clothing.
You should say:
what the item is
what it looks like
on what occasions people wear it
and explain why it is so important.
第二步:整理提纲
1 是什么
① qipao, traditional female dress with distinctive Chinese features; ② cheongsam, Cantonese, long dress; ③ Qing Dynasty, Manchu rulers
2 外观如何
① fits well the female Chinese figure; ② fitted waist, sets off the beauty of the female shape; ③ different materials
3 什么场合穿
① casual or formal occasions; ② celebrations and weddings
4 为何受欢迎
simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness
雅思口语第二部分只需要1~2分钟的陈述,因此不需要太长的提纲,考生只要选出自己觉得最方便记忆的几个点就行,比如像旗袍的历史发展和细节特征考生就不必过多赘述。在整理过程中,考生也可以加入一些自己的想法,比如人们现在主要在庆典和婚礼(celebrations and weddings)的时候穿旗袍。下面就是对照整理的提纲组织的口语表达。
I’d like to tell you something about the qipao, which is a kind of traditional female dress with distinctive Chinese features. It is also known as the cheongsam, which means “long dress” in Cantonese. It became popular in the Qing Dynasty when the Manchu rulers came to China proper.
The biggest feature of the qipao is that it fits well the female Chinese figure. For example, it usually has a fitted waist, which sets off the beauty of the female shape. As far as I know, many different kinds of material can be used for qipaos, such as silk or cotton.
The qipao can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. Nowadays, it is more commonly seen on important occasions like celebrations and weddings. During a wedding, the bride usually wears a qipao to mark the most important day of her life.
I think that the main reason why people are so fond of the qipao is that it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. It is now becoming more and more popular in the international world of high fashion.
以上这段表达在结合材料的同时加入了考生自己的想法,可谓逻辑清晰、句型连贯、词汇贴切,最重要的是语言表达自然流畅。考生通过查资料,不仅节约了绞尽脑汁想语料的时间,而且使自己的语言表达更准确、地道。
除了网上的资料以外,考生也可以用雅思相关参考书上的范例来作为复述材料。判断参考书上的范例能否为己所用的标准是看其内容是否容易记住。下面笔者就以《雅思口语》(新东方教育科技集团雅思研究院著)中的一篇口语表达为例来讲解如何复述参考书上的范例。这篇范例的主题是智能手机,主要介绍了作者喜欢智能手机的理由,具体如下。
Okay, I would really love to own a smartphone. I think they are amazing, because they are so tiny and they can do so many things! I really like the way they look—so slim and light. But the incredible thing is what they can do. A smartphone is kind of three things in one—a phone, an iPod and a computer. So it is really useful, because you can do all the things you normally do with a phone, like texting and calling people, but you can also listen to your favorite music: mostly when I’m on the bus or walking somewhere, like to school. And I would use it to share music with my friends. I think I could even use it to download films and music videos. You can also use them to store your photos and other stuff. Actually, you can use it to take your own photos as well. There is no keyboard, so you just touch the screen to type and send text messages. I really want to get one because all my friends have them and I think they are so useful. But I probably have to wait until my parents buy me one. I love new technology—I’m always interested in the latest things.
看完这篇范文后,考生可以整理出以下提纲:
1 是什么
smartphone
2 外观如何
tiny, slim and light
3 有何功能(此处可以加些自己上网的活动)
① listen to favourite music, share music with friends;
② download films and videos; ③ store photos and other stuff
4 为什么喜欢
① touch the screen to type; ② new technology (谈论对新技术的喜爱)
整理完提纲后,考生就可以对照提纲来组织自己的口语表达了。因为版面有限,笔者在此就不再提供复述后的例文了。
考生在运用复述的方法备考雅思口语的过程中需要注意以下四个问题。
1 如果复述材料有配套音频,考生可以边听边记笔记。这样能同时练习听力和单词拼写。
2 有条件的话,考生最好录下自己的复述。复述完之后听录音,纠正复述中的语法错误,改掉不符合英文表达习惯的“嗯”“哼”“呃”等口头语,并检查句型还有什么能改进的地方。
3 复述至少两到三遍,复述最后一遍时考生要注意语音语调的抑扬顿挫,适当配合肢体语言,完全模拟考场情境,就像对面坐着考官一样。
4 考生在考前应该练习复述最近常考的口语机经题,每天练两个题,直到能流利表达为止。第二天考生给自己一分钟时间,看能否快速回忆起昨天练过的题目,在纸上写下几个要点,然后再讲述一遍。
