[FONT=宋体]香港雅思口语[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分过程与经验[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]年前考过[/FONT]G[FONT=宋体]类雅思,口语部分[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]分;这次考[/FONT]A[FONT=宋体]类,口语部分[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分。[/FONT]
1[FONT=宋体]月[/FONT]21[FONT=宋体]日[/FONT][FONT=宋体]早上[/FONT]9[FONT=宋体]时许,出了地铁直奔[/FONT]IFC[FONT=宋体],穿过商场经巨长手扶电梯再违反规则穿越马路直冲[/FONT]british council[FONT=宋体]。到了等候室([/FONT]509[FONT=宋体]室),里面有两个工作人员,大概[/FONT]30[FONT=宋体]多人在等,几乎坐满。我坐下啃面包,然后上厕所。回来时已经叫了[/FONT]N[FONT=宋体]遍我的名字,按指示放下随身物品前往考场。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]有[/FONT]N[FONT=宋体]间房,总算找到了我的房间。考官是一穿菱形图案背心的中年棕发白人。吸取了无数次面试教训,我先发制人微笑问好自报英文名([/FONT]Good morning! My name's xxx, nice to meet you!)[FONT=宋体],假装没有自闭症。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]考官回应(当然他不会自报山门)。然后要我说全名,看[/FONT]ID[FONT=宋体],说在香港干嘛,为什么要考雅思。([/FONT]My name is xxx xxx xxx, xxx is my english name. and my id, here you go ([FONT=宋体]双手奉上身份证!)[/FONT]. currently i'm studying law at xxx university. since i'm going to apply for xxx, i need to take ielts as the proof of language proficiency)[FONT=宋体]。又问我为什么要在香港读法律。([/FONT]actually my current program is my third law degree. previously i obtained my bachelor of law in beijing and then my master degree from Cambridge <--[FONT=宋体]考官肃然起敬。[/FONT]since i want to practice in common law jurisdiction, i then came to hong kong to read for this degree and since i was also qualified in china, hong kong would be a market in need of people like me) [FONT=宋体]自觉很罗嗦,没有再往下说了。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]接着问我课余都做什么。好像是他自己提了[/FONT]shopping[FONT=宋体]这个题目要我说。([/FONT]that's my favorite topic[FONT=宋体]![/FONT])[FONT=宋体]但实际上我忽然完全想不到相关词汇,就说我喜欢[/FONT]window-shopping[FONT=宋体]。本来我的回答很糟,只有一句话,但考官忽然低头窃笑,说了句[/FONT]"me too"[FONT=宋体]。顿时两人心有戚戚。大家为自己干瘪的钱包[/FONT]against[FONT=宋体]香港这个购物天堂的背景默哀了[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]秒,考官决定略过这一令人郁闷的发话题。(真幸运!)[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]于是开始进入漫长的关于[/FONT]vehicle[FONT=宋体]的问题。忘了是在中间还是在一开始给了我卡片,上面有三个关于车的问题,问我会驾驶那种车,会买哪种车等等。受到[/FONT]window shopping[FONT=宋体]的启发,我决定做[/FONT]bold[FONT=宋体]点的尝试,不要一本正经的答问题。所以说[/FONT]“since i'm from china, i'm good at biking" [FONT=宋体]这句效果奇好,考官又低头窃笑。[/FONT]"i also obtained my driver's license two years ago. but i don't drive in hong kong since public transportation here is convenient enough" [FONT=宋体]等等。[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]然后问想买啥车,我说[/FONT]"jeep"[FONT=宋体],因为[/FONT]stable[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]durable[FONT=宋体],经撞,够安全(至此考官目瞪口呆,可能觉得我是个危险驾驶者。有见及此,我补充说因为老爸第一部开的车是[/FONT]jeep[FONT=宋体],所以[/FONT]jeep[FONT=宋体]有我的童年回忆等等。考官于是很理解的样子。)[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]然后问我觉得名车是否身份象征。考虑到说[/FONT]window shopping[FONT=宋体]时考官的反应,考官估计也是升斗市民,于是我继续走平民路线,说虽然很多[/FONT]celebrities[FONT=宋体]喜欢开名车贵车跑车([/FONT]benz porche etc[FONT=宋体])但是车子性能最重要,安全最重要,[/FONT]brand[FONT=宋体]不是最重要。而且香港这么小没车也很方便等等。然后又问到修路的问题,我用了[/FONT]cosmopolitan[FONT=宋体]和[/FONT]remote areas[FONT=宋体],说[/FONT]traffic jam[FONT=宋体]不能靠多修路解决,要多在偏远山区修路,钱用在刀刃上等等。此处我一度不确定[/FONT][FONT=宋体]摩擦阻力[/FONT][FONT=宋体]是否用[/FONT]friction[FONT=宋体],超级友善的考官帮我确认了[/FONT]friction[FONT=宋体]是正确的用语。自觉用到的比较像样的词汇还有[/FONT]luxury, allocation of government fundings[FONT=宋体]等,记不太真了。还问我会去哪里买车,我不知道说车行这个词([/FONT]car dealer[FONT=宋体]),说的是[/FONT]go to the place where there are cars for sale, and ask the sales person for advice[FONT=宋体]。其实没多久就结束了,考官问我要回问题卡,然后我就跟他道别([/FONT]thanks for your time, it was nice taling to you, have a good day!)[FONT=宋体]考官说[/FONT]“take care"[FONT=宋体]。然后将桌面东东复原,出门时微笑挥手,把门带上。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]比对两次口试,其实我的词汇量并没有改变,但由于一直在上课,课程用英文教授,老师也多是鬼子,所以没有丢生,和鬼子交流也更轻松,不会紧张。此外,这次的考官也超[/FONT]nice[FONT=宋体],所以我说话也放得开,只要不紧张,流利些,也可以拿到[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]香港雅思口语[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分过程与经验[/FONT]
1[FONT=宋体]、外向活泼点,尽量不要冷场,不要害怕说话,但也别在一个问题上说太多,和考官有来有往像聊天是最好的状态。[/FONT]
2[FONT=宋体]、如果觉得气氛适合的话可以来点幽默,但这因人而异,要注意分寸,不要过于轻佻。[/FONT]
3[FONT=宋体]、千万要听清楚问题再回答。我第一次考就是在没听清楚的情况下说了好久,最后还要考官制止,这样会低分。[/FONT]
4[FONT=宋体]、注意基本礼貌,敲门[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]问好[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]自我介绍[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]回答时看对方眼睛[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]坐姿[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]微笑[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]适时地说谢谢[/FONT]-[FONT=宋体]离开时将物品恢复原状(放回椅子)[/FONT]-"have a nice day"-[FONT=宋体]离开时顺手关门[/FONT]
5[FONT=宋体]、平时说英语有意识地交替使用同义词[/FONT]/[FONT=宋体]近义词[/FONT]/[FONT=宋体]偏书面语的表达方式,这样能在考试时体现你运用英语的能力。如果想不起一个词怎么说,尽量用你熟悉的词语来解释,千万不要沉默冷场。只要能表达清楚,怎么说都没问题。[/FONT]
6[FONT=宋体]、语音语调和连读。平时有意识地模仿[/FONT]BBC[FONT=宋体]、[/FONT]CNN[FONT=宋体]的主播或者看看[/FONT]national geographic[FONT=宋体]也好。如果能模仿出英音之类的更好。我自己不太喜欢美音,舌头卷得有时候会打结,或者有的音说出来像北京方言,是很大的[/FONT]distraction[FONT=宋体]。还是干干净净清清爽爽的英音好。[/FONT]
7[FONT=宋体]、临考前稍为看看近期机经是有帮助的,看机经主要在于寻找自己有什么词汇不知道说或者哪方面词汇量不足,从而有针对性的不足。但不要矫枉过正,每个[/FONT]topic[FONT=宋体]写篇东西出来。因为每个人都不同,考官问得也不同,最好是临场发挥。[/FONT]
8[FONT=宋体]、不要担心语法错误,可以即时纠正,但不要影响自己表达的流利程度,不要因为语法错误而忘了本来要说什么了。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语究竟怎么练?[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]千万不要崇拜疯子英语(即泡沫英语,看着挺大,其实什么都没有)的学习方法,所谓疯子英语就是像神智混乱的人那样毫无逻辑可言地排列些单词,庆幸的是神智清醒的外教总能[/FONT][FONT=宋体]听[/FONT][FONT=宋体]懂,这样一来疯子的自信心神奇般地大增,从此自认为潇洒地开始了疯话连篇。[/FONT]Crazy English[FONT=宋体]?[/FONT]No[FONT=宋体]![/FONT]English is not crazyyou are crazy[FONT=宋体]!我个人认为,对一个缺乏广泛英语环境的中国学生来说,提高口语能力的最好办法:首先是最简单的背诵,再找个外教进行实弹演习。因为既然是实弹演习就不打无准备之仗,至少也得像[/FONT][FONT=宋体]大专辩论会[/FONT][FONT=宋体]那样,选个话题找好资料做好充分准备,只有这样的[/FONT][FONT=宋体]交流[/FONT][FONT=宋体]才能真正获益。[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]总的来说,找外教练口语,不能盲目崇拜,而要理性一些,在有准备的情况下才能获得最大的收获。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]专家指点:攻克口语靠自己[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]练口语找不找老外?到英语角?到俱乐部?找什么样的[/FONT]partner[FONT=宋体]?上述几个问题实质上都是围绕如何攻克口语而展开的,那我们不妨来谈一下[/FONT][FONT=宋体]口语究竟要怎么学[/FONT][FONT=宋体],解决了口语怎么学的问题,上面的问题也就迎刃而解了。[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]对于[/FONT][FONT=宋体]口语好[/FONT][FONT=宋体]的理解,大致可分为以下几个境界:[/FONT]
1.[FONT=宋体]谈吐精湛、论理透彻,用词到位、传神,甚至达到了[/FONT][FONT=宋体]一言以兴邦[/FONT][FONT=宋体]的力度。[/FONT]
2.[FONT=宋体]交流无障碍。用英语与外国人交流可以随心所欲、谈天说地。[/FONT]
3.[FONT=宋体]可以自如地将自己的所思所想用英语表达出来,虽然对有些陌生话题会言谈不流畅,用词不恰当,但可以让外国人基本明白你要表达的意思。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]就连母语是英语的人要想达到第一个境界也并非易事,所以[/FONT]“1”[FONT=宋体]不是我们追求的目标。我们的口语学习目标应锁定在上述[/FONT]“3”[FONT=宋体]或[/FONT]“2”[FONT=宋体]上。若想在相对短的时间内达到[/FONT]“3”[FONT=宋体]或[/FONT]“2”[FONT=宋体]的水平,我们要从以下几个方面入手:[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第一步:大量背诵原汁原味的单句、对话、生活习语。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第二步:把每天背诵过的素材反复消化,借助想像力,身临其境把它们表演出来。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第三步:写日记。这个习惯看上去练习的是写作,其实它更是练习口语的妙法。当你动笔的同时,你的大脑正在激烈地做着英文体操。用英文进行思维是高级的口语训练方法。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第四步:大量阅读报刊、杂志及各种故事、杂文,之后将它们复述出来。[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]超级提示:是[/FONT][FONT=宋体]复述[/FONT][FONT=宋体]而非[/FONT][FONT=宋体]背诵[/FONT][FONT=宋体]。[/FONT])[FONT=宋体]同一篇文章的复述工作应该反复滚动。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第五步:一年左右逐渐过渡到用英文进行日常的思维活动。每当遇到不会的词、句就记录在本子上,集中解决,并定时更新、复习。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]以上就是攻克口语的整体解决方案。那么回到开始的问题,究竟找不找老外练口语呢?我的答案是:找,但要找得聪明而专业。如上述前两个步骤,根本无须借助老外[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]也无须借助英语角、俱乐部等[/FONT])[FONT=宋体];而到了[/FONT][FONT=宋体]写日记[/FONT][FONT=宋体]这一环节,你应该让老外帮你定期地修改,同时嘱咐他修改时用口语化的句子。上述第四、五步骤你也应该借助老外,让他帮你定期地纠正,这样的外教辅导才是真正的有的放矢,专业而有效。[/FONT]
Partner[FONT=宋体]的选择方面当然是要选一位你看着顺眼,母语是英文并乐意与你进行语言互助的外国人。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]最后我想说:语言的学习[/FONT]90%[FONT=宋体]还是要靠我们自己!背过的东西我们究竟消化了多少?用活了多少?每天又积累了多少新的表达?日记是用英文记的吗?让外教纠正过了吗?纠正过的地方,你吃透了吗?滚动复习了吗[/FONT]……[FONT=宋体]就像那句名言讲的:[/FONT][FONT=宋体]每天只要多一点点。比别人多一点矜持、多一点自律、多一点行动、多一点练习、多一点决心、多一点记忆,多一点点就能创造奇迹![/FONT][FONT=宋体]朋友,让我们一起努力。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语素材[/FONT]:[FONT=宋体]关于书的实用词汇和句型[/FONT]
He thought his book would change society, but he didn’t bring it off.
[FONT=宋体]他原以为他的书能改变社会,但愿望没能实现。[/FONT]
She likes to read novels with happy endings.
[FONT=宋体]她喜欢读有快乐结局的小说。[/FONT]
Your latest book amused me no end.
[FONT=宋体]我觉得你那本新书十分有趣。[/FONT]
Some people have compared books to friends.
[FONT=宋体]有些人把书比作朋友。[/FONT]
They’re selling like hot cakes.
[FONT=宋体]这些都很畅销。[/FONT]
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.

[FONT=宋体]如众所周知,书籍教我们学习人生,真理,科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识,扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说,它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。[/FONT]Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
[FONT=宋体]读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错,我们能从好书中获得益处。然而,坏书却对我们有害无益。[/FONT]
Reading books can strongly shape you inclination, mature your thoughts, widen you horizon and enrich your personality. Life is limited, but knowledge is boundless. The more books we read, the more knowledge we get.
However, books can also be harmful, particularly the pornographic books. Bad books contain evil thoughts. In them, there might be much description about violence, superstition, and *.
Before we encourage our children to read books, we should teach and help them to identify good and bad books. Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business.
[FONT=宋体]读书可以作为娱乐,作为装饰,作为能力的培养。娱乐的作用通常见于离群独处时;装饰的作用体现在高谈阔论中;至于才能,则表现在裁处事务上。[/FONT]
To spend too much time in studies, is sloth.[FONT=宋体]读书费时过多,无异于懒惰[/FONT]. ([FONT=宋体]培根[/FONT])
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.

[FONT=宋体]第一次考[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体]口语[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]分经验[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]口语[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]分经验[/FONT]12[FONT=宋体]月第一次考了[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体],整体虽然只有[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]分,但口语出人意料的拿了[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]。下面说说我的考试经验我是星期天下午在四川大学考的,提前了大概半个小时到达考点。当时在候场的时候旁边有个女的在问我紧张不,我说不紧张,完全没问题。实际上,我也是头一次,心里也是没底的。我说这个,是因为我认为积极的心理暗示很重要。我们不能在还没进考场之前,就先输掉心里上的对等。考官也是人,只不过是个鬼子而已。所以他也不会喜欢说话结巴的人。进了房间以后,尽量自然一点。你不能因为他是考官就怕他。完全没必要。实际上,鬼子还是很友好的。起码表面上如此。什么握手不握手之类的东西,没必要可以追求,进去了,一切顺其自然。考语中间很重要的两点是流利和眼神交流。流利并不是说我们不能犯错误,我也犯了不少语法错误,但是仍然拿了[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]。问题的关键是,你可以慢慢说,但是你决不能停,留下明显的空白。多说总比不说好,所以尽量说。不过说的同时一定要把握好自己的结构。这个大家都明白,总分嘛!这点切记注意。总分结构!!!![/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]其次,再说说眼神交流,想想你和朋友说话是什么样子,很真诚,对不对。所以即使你是背的口语,也要看着考官说。这样才能让他觉得你是在和他交流而不是考试。交流的分数肯定是比考试来得高的!(不过不要一直看到鬼子,他会发毛的,看一会,然后做一做思考状,不是很好吗?)最后再告诉大家,其实口语[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]真的不难,你们能想象我口语[/FONT]7[FONT=宋体]分但是阅读和听力都只有[/FONT]5[FONT=宋体]分吗?我的单词量也不大,俚语也不会很多,但是我做到了。你必须相信,与其说是考口语,更是考沟通技巧。[/FONT]
PS
[FONT=宋体]:当然,该准备的东西还是要准备,不过实在弄不完就算了。要是说到后面想不出说什么,那么就把这个话题当作文来思考。无忧雅思的口语机经一定要看一看,对各种话题在心中思考一遍![/FONT]

回复: 雅思最珍贵的学习笔记系列之---雅思口语(zt)

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语完美发音的[/FONT]10[FONT=宋体]个诀窍[/FONT]
1. Listen to yourself.
[FONT=宋体]如果你听不到自己的发音问题,要纠正就很难了。试着把你将的话录下来并和英语为母语人士将的对比一下。应对雅思口语非常有效。[/FONT]
2. Slow down!
[FONT=宋体]很多英语学习者常说语速太快容易养成他们的坏习惯。由于太快而模糊不清是口语考试的大忌。所以我们要[/FONT]accuracy [FONT=宋体]然后才是[/FONT]fluency[FONT=宋体],每天操练一些基本语言以单音节开始,然后单词,把几个词连在一起,组成句子。这样你就能慢慢开始表达自己的思想了。[/FONT]
3. Picture it...
[FONT=宋体]闭上你的眼睛并在说出口之前想一想如何发这个音。想象出口型和脸部动作。这个可以配合看电影来做,留意[/FONT]Hollywood[FONT=宋体]的明星是怎么样一字一句的说出那些令人神魂颠倒的话语的。[/FONT]
4. Get physical!
[FONT=宋体]发音是个形体动作。要学会嘴巴的发声方法和移动肌肉的方式。每天集中训练几个音。你发[/FONT]this, thank, they,[FONT=宋体]和[/FONT]little, wool[FONT=宋体]等单词困难吗?试试发[/FONT]‘th’[FONT=宋体],将你的舌头放在齿间(不要咬住)并从口中吐气。感受气流从你的舌间吹过。[/FONT]
5. Watch yourself.
[FONT=宋体]站在镜子前查看当你发某些固定音时的嘴型,唇型和舌头的位置。和你看到的[/FONT]native speaker[FONT=宋体]的发音对比!平时还可以把自己的发音模样录成[/FONT]video[FONT=宋体],仔细观察比较。[/FONT]
6.[FONT=宋体] [/FONT]Copy the experts.
[FONT=宋体]绝对没有取代从专家-英语母语人士处学习发音的方式。因此仔细听!听英语广播节目并看英语的电视节目和电影。尽量不要念字幕!模仿你所听到的-就算你还不肯定他们说的话。[/FONT]
7. Practice makes perfect.
[FONT=宋体]发音的问题迟迟不能解决就是因为我们害怕犯错。-第一次见面,在饭店点菜,询问方向-然后你自己表演出对话内容。别害羞!启德雅思每周都举行免费的口语练习,不少同学来到广州图书馆[/FONT]practice[FONT=宋体],特别是考前的机经特训,对真题的模拟大有裨益。[/FONT]
8. Find a language buddy.
[FONT=宋体]从其他人处获得反馈是非常重要的。找一个对提高英语水平同样感兴趣的朋友。试着更换录音资料这样你就可以互相听对方的发音。记住录完要重新听听,找出错误和闪光点啊。[/FONT]
9. Be poetic.
[FONT=宋体]好的发音不仅是掌握单独的音节。还是对[/FONT]intonation [FONT=宋体](声音的升降调)和[/FONT] stress [FONT=宋体](对单词中一些音节和句子中的一些单词更大声更清晰的发音)的理解。大声念一些诗歌,演讲,歌曲,集中练习单词的重音和音调。[/FONT]
10. Sing a song!
[FONT=宋体]学习一些英语流行歌曲的歌词并跟着唱。唱歌帮助你放松并能让这些词说出来,同时帮助改进你的语音和语调。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]美国电影以恢宏的场面和动人的背景音乐见长;但中国电影善于表现现实生活。[/FONT]
There is a large investment for American films, and there are a lot of big scenes for American films. However, Chinese films are likely to be instructive, and directors hope that audience can learn something after watching the films.
His looks are always funny[FONT=宋体].[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]他的样子总是滑稽可笑。[/FONT]
Many of the first films were slapstick comedy.

This movie was all blood and guts.
This film contains raw language([FONT=宋体]粗口,脏话[/FONT]).
Harry Potter:
Harry has a distant goal to get to, he has enormous numbers of obstacles placed in front of his and monsters who he has to face, and challenge and overcome and bewitchments which he has to resist, and all the time, pressing onward towards his goal. In some way, Harry Potter is a modern Odysseus.

"Casablanca" has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years. It has aged well and will continue to age well. It takes time for a movie to be earning the label "timeless."

Forrest Gump
This is a modern day fairy tale demonstrating that love, dignity and perseverance conquer all. “Forrest Gump”runs the viewer through the entire spectrum of emotions as it tells the story of a slow thinking innocent kid traversing through five decades of life.
[FONT=宋体]玩具总动员[/FONT]Toy Story
Disney began making quality family shows again in the 1980s. A quality family show is one where the parents can enjoy it as much as the kids. "Toy Story" took it one step further and added state of the art technology to provide a wonderful Disney story. We all have wondered if our toys came alive, but we never knew that there would be so much team work.
Another genre that had been unsuccessful for years was the slapstick comedy. This story, Home Alone, about a little boy protecting his home from bumbling crooks had all of the right ingredients; good vs. bad, youth vs. age, and brain vs. brawn. The Rube Goldberg like contraptions coupled with the comedic talents of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci provide an entertainment that had almost become a lost art form.
The film, Dances With Wolves, was able to break the trend and deliver a compelling historical drama about life with the Sioux Indians. The buffalo hunt is spectacular and demonstrates the vastness and beauty of the country.
E. T. was directed by Steven Spielberg.
[FONT=宋体]《[/FONT]E. T. [FONT=宋体]外星人》是由史蒂芬[/FONT][FONT=宋体]斯皮尔伯格导演的。[/FONT]
E. T. was first shown in 1982.
Spielberg got to make the story of E. T., one that still over 20 years later is reaching out and touching audiences.
[FONT=宋体]斯皮尔伯格拍成了《[/FONT]E. T. [FONT=宋体]外星人》,[/FONT]20[FONT=宋体]多年来这部电影仍让影迷们喜爱与感动着。[/FONT]
The film is set in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century.
It is still too early to tell what movies will become classics and what movies will become dated.

Chinese martial art comes together with Hollywood.
[FONT=宋体]中国武术在好莱坞已有立足之地。[/FONT]
This film is rated G.
That movie had me on the edge of my seat.
That love story was too melodramatic.
A lousy movie cannot fool the audience.
I may feel different about any of these movies two years from now.
There are films revealing more social problems, such as racial or * discriminations, government corruption, the true color of so-called higher class. They make me more mature after watching them.
Those comedies, love stories and adventures are either na?ve or unrealistic.
I usually watch films through TV or VCD, DVD in my home.
Just like romance and comedy movie, a violent film relaxes and entertains millions movie fans. However uniqueness of violent movie is that it may have negative impact on people, particularly young audience.
For certain segment of audience, it may be harmful if being viewed without proper guidance and control.
There have been cases of crime in which offenders, when surveyed, revealed that they got the idea to commit a crime from violent movie.
We need to control access of violent movies to people under certain age and offer guidance to young viewers.
What's the main difference between modern films and those in the past?
Okay, I think that modern films are less serious, um, because there is more comedy in these films. I would say, uh, hmm, that modern films are more relaxed. To begin, modern films are much more expensive to make and they have famous actors in them. There is also, uh, a lot of slang and violence and other cultural attributes in these pictures. As for the more classical pictures, they are classy and the actors and actresses dress more conservatively and there spoken, uh, English is more classic and proper. Older films teach values that all humans should have whereas, hmm, the newer films are just sometimes more about making money and people famous. In my opinion, I like the newer films better because, uh, overall they are just much more entertaining and the hmm, the older films are maybe, I guess, more about art and teaching.

Physical fitness and exercise are important for good physical and mental health. Exercise helps a person develop and maintain a strong self-image and a sense of emotional balance. As a person gets older, exercise becomes more important because after age 30 the heart’s blood pumping capacity declines at a rate of about 8 percent each decade.
Exercise is also important for children. Vigorous physical activity helps a child’s overall development. Research shows that exercise can reduce the gathering of cholesterol on artery walls of children and adults. Too much cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. There is, however, no evidence that exercise prolongs life. Former athletes do not live longer than nonathletes, nor are they saved from heart disease. The benefits of exercise cannot be kept for more than a few months or years without continued exercise. Even Olympic-level athletes will go back rapidly to pre-training levels once they stop exercise. The amount of activity necessary for fitness varies from person to person. Age, physical structure, health, and gender are important factors.

[FONT=宋体]世界各国的[/FONT][FONT=宋体]为足球痴狂[/FONT][FONT=宋体]的情况:[/FONT]
Soccer becomes part of European culture.
To meet the fans in the stands at football games across Europe.
They wear face paint, shout at the teams they love or hate and go crazy when talking about the players they think truly stink.
In Europe, soccer has so long a history that it has become part of the culture. But each European country has its own “football culture”.
Britain: British football is not necessarily the best in the world, but its football marketing is no doubt the most successful of all European counties.
The English Premier League draws global television audiences, and Michael Owen and David Beckham have become worldwide superstars.
Part of the reason comes from Briton’s love of the sports.
Many British football fans enjoy gathering in pubs to talk about their favorite teams and players and to watch games together.
The Winchester Hall Tavern in London is one of the most famous football pubs in Britain. The large old Victorian pub is equipped with five TVs and a big screen. It’s so large that it never gets packed.
Partly due to the excessive drinking in the pubs, Britain also produces some infamous hooligans, who have become an increasing headache for police offices in Europe.
Germany: According to 1996 report to the European parliament, German fans tend to come from the middle class of society, and can be divided into three broad types.
The “consumer-oriented” fan will sit in the stands or seek a quite spot on the terraces and just wants to see good games.
The “football-oriented” fan dressed in his team’s colours and badges, is a member of the supporter’s club, stands on the terraces and supports his club through thick and thin.
The “adventure-oriented” fan will change his spot on the terraces from game to game and wants to see something happen, whether it has anything to do with football or not.
Italy: Football culture is an extended form of town .
France: Football in France has never attracted the numbers of live spectators, or inspired such passionate support, as in other European countries. Despite the current popularity of the sport, even major cities cannot have more than one team, and matches attract on average only a third of the spectators of their equivalents in Italy, England and Spain.
The interest has increased largely due to the successes of French teams in international competition and accompanying large scale investment in the “promotion” of football.
The revival of popular interest in football and the increase in attendance at football matches have led to a diverse group of fans.
The majority of spectators are both from the working class and the middle class.
Some have even described the fans in French as: “with the exception of the upper classes, all of society is found in the stadium”.
Football craze
In recent years more and more people have been drawn to football. Football fan clubs and associations have been set up across the country. In fact, football is becoming such a focus of interest that even football fans are becoming celebrities.
Football fans, form a special informal social group and their emergence “boils down to people’s desire to belong to something”.
Football satisfies this desire of belonging, as fans can organize themselves into groups to support a team through good times and bad.
The reason that football had become so popular was that anyone could be a supporter. You do not have to take exams to be supporter; you even don’t have to be able to play football.
The competitive nation of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group.
With its fierce rivalry and mass participation, football is unique. It is the world’s No. One sport.
The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators to look on in awe.
People can express themselves through football. And it’s quite easy to learn and play the sport: you need only a ball.
Whilst in European counties people have always been aware of football’s power to make supporters react in such an intense and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response. The May 19 incident ironically had the effect of drawing more fans to the games rather than turning them away.
The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing.
"One world, One Dream"Slogan of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
"One World, One Dream," is an embodiment of the wisdom of hundreds of thousands of people. It expresses the firm belief of a great nation, with a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards modernization, that is committed to peaceful development, a harmonious society and people’s happiness.
The slogan is simple, meaningful, inspiring, and easy to remember, read and spread.
The Olympic Games are unique in their ability to attract the world’s attention, using sport to promote peace and understanding.

回复: 雅思最珍贵的学习笔记系列之---雅思口语(zt)

[FONT=宋体]考生必知:如何备考雅思口语考试的三个阶段?[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]雅思口语分为[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]个阶段,每个阶段各有特色。第一阶段为[/FONT]introduction[FONT=宋体],考官在确认考生的身份后会询问一些关于学习、工作、家乡、兴趣爱好等熟悉的话题,时间为[/FONT]4-5[FONT=宋体]分钟;第二阶段为[/FONT]individual long turn[FONT=宋体],考官随机抽取一张题目卡([/FONT]topic card[FONT=宋体]),考生准备一分钟,然后就该题目进行[/FONT]1-2[FONT=宋体]分钟的个人陈述;第[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]阶段为[/FONT]two-way discussion[FONT=宋体],考官和考生围绕第二阶段的话题进行[/FONT]4-5[FONT=宋体]分钟的交谈,但考官询问的问题在广度和深度上都有所增加。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]从口试的形式可以看出,考官着重考察考生的交际能力。具体而言,考官将会在流利程度([/FONT]fluency[FONT=宋体])、语法([/FONT]grammar[FONT=宋体])、词汇([/FONT]vocabulary[FONT=宋体])和语音([/FONT]pronunciation[FONT=宋体])四个方面对考生进行评估,四项比重相当,三个部分在总分中的比重也相同。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第一阶段:与考官聊天[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]备考第一阶段的关键在于熟练和自然,考生应尽量熟悉该阶段的话题,并能针对每个题目自然而流畅的进行回答。回答时切记不要只回答[/FONT]yes[FONT=宋体]或者[/FONT]no[FONT=宋体],或者很简短的答案,要主动的去提供附加信息,以表示自己愿意并且能够进行交流。第一阶段的话题和具体的题目可以在网上找到,建议两者结合使用,以求全面。整个第一阶段就像朋友间的聊天一样,考生可以利用这段时间去适应考官的口音和节奏,并放松自己,尽快进入状态。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第二阶段:精心准备话题[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第二阶段的题目卡较多,内容较广泛。考生如果有足够的时间,可以在精心准备几个典型题目的同时,对其他题目也稍加准备,以免考试时遇到陌生题目手忙脚乱。由于第二阶段准备时间有限,只有[/FONT]1[FONT=宋体]分钟,因此在拿到题目卡后应该在几秒钟内迅速做出决策,确定自己说什么,然后利用剩下的时间在考官提供的草稿纸上做点笔记。在做个人陈述时是可以参考笔记的。如果拿到的题目卡是事先准备过的,也要再仔细的分析一下其中的子话题,看跟自己准备的题目是否有出入,并在笔记上做点提纲,以避免给考官留下背诵文稿的印象。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第三阶段:提出观点并证明[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第三阶段的题目总的来说是围绕第二阶段的话题来进行的,比如,如果第二部分要求考生描述喜欢的一个房间或公寓,那第三部分问题会紧紧围绕住宿和生活方式这样的主题的。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]由于问题有了广度和深度,回答起来也就不是那么容易,有些问题可能考生用中文都没有考虑过,更别说用英文来讨论了。在准备第三阶段时,有必要先了解问题的风格和类型。一般而言,第三阶段的题目通常包含描述变化(中国住房近[/FONT]20[FONT=宋体]年的变化)、做比较(大学生活和中学生活)、做预测(将来交通方式会有何发展)、提出解决方案(如何解决环保问题)以及陈述个人意见(网络对阅读习惯有何冲击)等。但不管类型如何,考生可先给出一个见解([/FONT]opinion[FONT=宋体]),然后进行证明,论证方法颇似写作。在词汇方面,由于该阶段属于[/FONT]formal discus?[FONT=宋体]鄄[/FONT]sion[FONT=宋体],因此措辞上尽量正式点,在词汇和句型的选择上可以借鉴写作的做法。就话题而言,由于该阶段涵盖的多为[/FONT]issue[FONT=宋体],如[/FONT]social change[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]family[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]tradition[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]culture[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]environmental problems[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]media[FONT=宋体]等等,考生可在平时多阅读英文报纸或杂志,并不妨观看[/FONT]CCTV9[FONT=宋体]的一些关于中国风土人情、传统历史的节目,这对备考第三阶段大有裨益[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]最后谈一下口语中的四个评分标准,前[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]个在介绍[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]个阶段的备考是都有所提及,惟独语音没有涉及到。语音主要指发音和音调,并不涉及口音。考生不必担心自己口音偏向美音,因为美音也好,英音也好,都是英语的一种口音,不是考官考察的对象。考生应该把注意力放到改善自己的发音上来,争取从语音,即元音、辅音练起,纠正单词的发音,并最终模仿标准的英美语调。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]雅思新手指南:口语篇[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]给大家承诺了这么久[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]写口语[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]可是因为回国[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]还有一些个人的事情所以没有兑现[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]实在不好意思[/FONT].OK,[FONT=宋体]现在就开始先给大家明确一下口语考试评分的要点[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]从最重要的开始排序[/FONT])
1. Fluency 2. Grammary([FONT=宋体]包括[/FONT]pronouns[FONT=宋体]和[/FONT]tense) 3. Vocabulary 4. Pronunciation 5. Coherency
[FONT=宋体]下面我把这[/FONT]5[FONT=宋体]点分开说[/FONT]
1.[FONT=宋体]可以看出流利程度是最重要的[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]这是考官对你口语水平的一个整体感觉[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]怎么做到流利自如呢[/FONT]? [FONT=宋体]基础好[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]不怯场是一方面[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]关键的是[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]我们要打有准备之仗[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]在考试之前一定[/FONT]!!![FONT=宋体]要把最近经常考的[/FONT]topic[FONT=宋体]准备一边[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]准备方法[/FONT]: [FONT=宋体]对每个部分的可能出现的问题都要准备[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]首先列提纲[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]学会由点到面的思维方式[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]比如让你描述一个对你有影响的人[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]可以说很多方面[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]象热心[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]有丰富的知识[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]做人很正值[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]诚实[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]很慷慨[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]在某方面有特长[/FONT]…..[FONT=宋体]什么都可以说[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]因为是自己的观点和想法[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]所以不需要多么合乎逻辑[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]合乎正常思维[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]学会练习发散性的思维[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]这样在考试的时候不会张口结舌[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]不知道说什么[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]很多同学都喜欢把整个[/FONT]topic[FONT=宋体]写出来[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]然后经常拿着背[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]对这种方法我不提倡[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]也不反对[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]因为各人都有自己适应的方式[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]但是这样做[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]太费时[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]费力[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]而且有些句子写出来感觉不错[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]但是如果说的话[/FONT][FONT=宋体]可能就不一样了[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]而且有些长句子靠背诵[/FONT][FONT=宋体]在考试的时候万一哪里说错了[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]就犯了[/FONT]grammar[FONT=宋体]的错误[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]不值得平时可以把自己的作文什么的小文章拿来出声朗读[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]锻炼自己的舌头适应英语的发音[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]培养自己说英语的感觉[/FONT]
2. grammar [FONT=宋体]在平时有机会练习的时候就要注意[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]不要养成坏习惯有些在国外的同学[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]因为说英语的时候多一些[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]而且有的时候不得不说英语[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]所以有很多人养成一种习惯[/FONT]----[FONT=宋体]只要让听的人听懂就可以了[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]而且自我感觉还不错[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]这样在生活中是没什么的[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]但是考试的时候是要考查你的[/FONT]grammar[FONT=宋体]的[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]所以很多时候[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]错误的句子脱口而出[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]顺便讲个笑话[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]有个留学生开车撞车了[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]没办法[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]打电话给警察[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]说了[/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]句令人惊叹的话[/FONT]: “one car hiting my car, red water on the floor, I call [FONT=宋体]呜呜呜[/FONT]coming.” [FONT=宋体]警察是听明白了[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]但是这样考试中可行不通[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]口语里面不太涉及很深的语法[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]我们经常犯的语法错误也是那种很低级的[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]可以避免的[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]象[/FONT]he, she[FONT=宋体]不分[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]单三人称没有把动词加[/FONT]s, [FONT=宋体]时态前后不一致[/FONT]…..[FONT=宋体]如果让你听别人这么说[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]一下子就听出来了[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]但是放在自己身上怎么就那么难避免啊[/FONT]????
[FONT=宋体]所以我建议[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]说话之前不要着急[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]先想[/FONT]2,3[FONT=宋体]秒[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]大概怎么说[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]考试的时候这几秒的空白可以用[/FONT]well, I think, I believe[FONT=宋体]来填补[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]本来有些问题就是要想一下才能回答的[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]就算他们洋人自己说话也是需要思考的吧[/FONT]
3. [FONT=宋体]词汇[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]很多时候不是我们没话说[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]而是不知道该怎么表达[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]还有就是分不清楚书面用语和口语词汇[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]把很正式的书面语用来说口语[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]给人的感觉会象我们听那个老外说中文时[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]老是夹杂用一些成语和古诗词什么的[/FONT]….
[FONT=宋体]这个问题只能通过积累来解决[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]一个时积累自己没有掌握的词汇和一些表达方式[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]二就是尽量区分书面语和口头语[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]凡是涉及词汇的时候[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]我们时没有捷径可以走的[/FONT]
4.
[FONT=宋体]发音[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]很简单[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]跟着听力练习[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]或者其他任何可以正确发音的电视[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]电影[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]广播[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]媒体来学[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]发音很糟糕的同学如果有时间最好能把国际音标再学学[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]因为这样对记单词也是有好处的[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]平时如果要朗读的时候[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]最好能在保证发音正确以后在练习[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]遇见那些不太清楚怎么发音的单词别犯懒[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]拿字典查一查怎么发音[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]重音在哪个音节[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]这样不会一直把单词念错[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]不管怎么样[/FONT],dont be too nervous, [FONT=宋体]只要你的口音不是滥到让考官听不懂[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]就没有什么问题的[/FONT]
5. [FONT=宋体]相关性[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]这点是放在最后的[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]所以可以看出来[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体]考试不是只为了考你能否正确回答问题[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]但是切记[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]这点是看你能不能正确的理解问题[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]不知道问什么[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]肯定所问非所答了[/FONT].
[FONT=宋体]在考试的时候[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]如果听不懂什么意思[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]考官也只会复述一边问题[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]不会给你任何解释[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]如果听了第二遍还是不清楚问什么[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]也别僵着[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]想想整个句子听懂的部分是什么[/FONT], [FONT=宋体]照着这个说[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]就算偏一点[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]但是还可以展示你的口语能力[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]什么都不说就等于自己给自己判了死刑啦[/FONT]~~
[FONT=宋体]小贴士[/FONT]: [FONT=宋体]我的老师给我的一些学习建议[/FONT]: 1, [FONT=宋体]多看英语的电视[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]听广播[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]看报纸[/FONT]. 2. [FONT=宋体]有空的时候就自己尝试去描述一个人[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]一个物品[/FONT]….[FONT=宋体]锻炼自己的描述能力[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]说的时候可以多比较[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]特别是没话说的时候[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]比如让你说[/FONT]shopping, [FONT=宋体]就可以比较男性和女性不同的购物习惯[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]这样就大有可说了[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语学习方法建议[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]英语口语的学习是一个持之以恒的过程,这不仅限于[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体]的学习中。但是如果找不到适合自己的学习方法,学习效果往往会让自己很失望。下面就教你几招,在日常训练中你可以实践一下:[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]1[FONT=宋体]、初学者[/FONT] [FONT=宋体]  在多年的学习和教学实践中,我发现初学口语的最有效方法就是背诵英文句型或段落。在背诵前切记要跟着录音带大声朗读[/FONT]5[FONT=宋体]遍以上。有读者会说,我试过了但记不住。其实,背诵时最好有中文译文,一边看句子,一边背。这样就可以确定背不下来是因为情节的连贯问题,而不是因为英语水平的问题。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]2[FONT=宋体]、中级水平  许多通过了四级或六级的同学只是在阅读、听力或写作方面有能力,并不代表口语也有相应的水平。大家不要认为自己学的口语教材简单,可以做个试验:拿一篇你认为很浅显的文章,将其翻译成汉语,让别人将每句汉语读给你听,然后你再翻译成英文。如果没问题,说明你口语很好,否则就需要多做这种练习。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]3[FONT=宋体]、特别方法  [/FONT](1)[FONT=宋体]每晚入睡以前躺在床上,用英文对自己自言自语,将一天发生的事情描述下来。要持之以恒。  [/FONT](2)[FONT=宋体]同一个英文对白的电影,每星期至少看一次,连续三个月以上,不要看不同的,口语一定大有进步。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  这些都是比较适合中国学生的方法。大家可以从中选出最适合自己的。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  最后,给大家一个建议,在雅思口语中要注意举一反三。例如,考试时考官给的卡片上如果是这样写的:  [/FONT]Describe the most beautiful natural scenery you have ever seen.
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]You should say[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]What it is specific about
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]Where you see it[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]Who you go with
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]And explain why you think it is the most beautiful
[FONT=宋体]  考生要马上和[/FONT]interesting trip[FONT=宋体]联系到一起,不要认为是新的话题。你可以谈论青岛、大连或深圳的某些景色。考官可能还会问以下问题:[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]What measures does your government take to protect natural scenery[FONT=宋体]?[/FONT]Do you think it is effective[FONT=宋体][/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]What role does tourism play in your country’s economy[FONT=宋体]?[/FONT]What should you pay attention to in travel[FONT=宋体][/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  所以,在平时练习中,就某一话题自己也应尽可能地举一反三,多角度给自己提出问题,练习回答,这样既可应对考试,也能切实提高自己英语口语的反映能力。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语实战模拟:[/FONT]TV Programme
I seldom watch TV, because I have a computer and most of my free time is spent in front of the computer browsing the websites and chatting with my friends. Anyhow, I do have a favourite TV program and it’s called “Happy Dictionary”. It’s a quiz show. In this program a wide range of prizes is given to the winners. The host of this program is my favourite her name is “Wang Xiao Ya”. She is an incredible host.
In the beginning of the program they will introduce the 5 participants and then they will be asked a question, the person who answers the question correctly and quickly will be given an opportunity to take the quiz, the quiz is divided in to three or four stages, I can’t remember this exactly right now, anyway in each stage you will get a prize. The prizes are decided by participants, e.g. a computer, laptop, digital video camera, a free package holiday, you know things like that. There are there questions in each stage, and the way the host asks these questions make them more difficult. For example after you have given an answer she will ask you are you sure or not, and the person starts getting confused and changes his right answer to a wrong one, its funny and interesting, I really enjoy this part. The participants can get help from others for answering the questions but its limited there are only three ways and if you have used one then you cannot use it again these three ways are calling a friend by phone, asking the audience and letting the computer erase one of the wrong answer. The entire questions are multiple choices.
This program is an hour long and is usually broadcasted at 9:00 PM. The other reason why I like this program is that there is no violence and it can enhances my general knowledge.
I dislike watching news, because they always give you depression and tension. So I want to stick to an old English proverb “No news is good news”, so if I don’t watch them or listen to them I have No news about what’s happening in this mean and crazy world. I think that’s it.

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语练习的六条技巧[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第一,如何用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。美国人和美国人交谈[/FONT]80[FONT=宋体]%是想告诉对方这个事物是什么。我们的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深,但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。中国人常说[/FONT]Where is the book[FONT=宋体](这本书在哪儿)?很少有人说[/FONT]What is a book[FONT=宋体](书是什么)?而美国的小学生就开始问:[/FONT]What is the book[FONT=宋体]?这种[/FONT]Where is the book[FONT=宋体]只是思维的描述阶段。但是我想连大学生也很难回答[/FONT]What is a book[FONT=宋体]?因为中国传统英语教学模式没有教会学生表达思想的技巧。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第二,如果已经学会界定,但理解还有偏差,那就要训练[/FONT]How to explain things in different ways[FONT=宋体](用不同的方式解释同一事物)。一种表达式对方不懂,美国人会寻找另一种表达式最终让对方明白。因为事物就一个,但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。这就要多做替换练习。传统的教学方法也做替换练习,但这种替换不是真替换,只是语言层面的替换,而不是思维层面的替换。比如,[/FONT]I love you[FONT=宋体](我爱你)。按我们教学的替换方法就把[/FONT]you[FONT=宋体]换成[/FONT]her[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]my mother[FONT=宋体]等,这种替换和小学生练描红没有什么区别。这种替换没有对智力构成挑战,没有启动思维。这种替换句子的基本结构没变,我听不懂[/FONT]I love you[FONT=宋体],肯定也听不懂[/FONT]I love her[FONT=宋体]。如果替换为[/FONT]I want to kiss you[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]I want to hug you[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]I will show my heart to you[FONT=宋体]等,或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》,告诉对方那就是爱,这样一来对方可能就明白了。这才叫真正的替换。也就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思,或者一个表达式对方听不清楚,举一个简单易懂的例子来表达,直到对方明白。第三,我们必须学会美国人怎样描述东西。从描述上来讲,由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。美国人对空间的描述总是由内及外,由里及表。而中国人正好相反。从时间上来说,中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。我们描述一个东西突然停住时,往往最后说的那个地方是最重要的。美国人在时间的描述上先把最重要的东西说出来,然后再说陪衬的东西。只有发生悲剧性的事件,美国人才在前面加上铺垫。这就是中国人和美国人在时间描述上的巨大差别。第四,要学会使用重要的美国习语。不容易学、易造成理解困惑的东西就是[/FONT][FONT=宋体]习语[/FONT][FONT=宋体]。比如北京人说盖了帽儿了,外国人很难理解,这就是习语。所以和美国人交流时,能适当地运用美国习语,他马上就会觉得很亲切,也很爱和你交流。那么什么是习语?就是每个单词你都认识,但把它们组合在一起,你就不知道是什么意思了。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第五,学会两种语言的传译能力。这是衡量口语水平的一个最重要标准。因为英语不是我们的母语,我们天生就有自己的母语。很多人都认为学好外语必须丢掉自己的母语,这是不对的。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]第六,要有猜测能力。为什么美国人和美国人、中国人和中国人之间交流很少产生歧义?就是因为他们之间能[/FONT][FONT=宋体]猜测[/FONT][FONT=宋体]。我们的教学不提倡[/FONT][FONT=宋体]猜测[/FONT][FONT=宋体]。但我觉得猜测对学好美国口语很重要。在交流中,有一个词你没有听懂,你不可能马上去查字典,这时候就需要猜测来架起一座桥梁来弥补这个缺口,否则交流就会中断。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]中国人学习口语讲究背诵,背句型、背语调,结果就是很多人讲口语的时候讲着讲着眼就开始向上翻,实际上是在记忆中寻找曾经背过的东西。如果他要是能猜测的话,我想也就不会出现这种现象。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]以上就是我所说的学会用美国人思维方式的[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]个技巧。中国学生如果能做到这[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]点,用较短的时间肯定能学好口语。再说说英语语音的问题。我们中国人不需要钻牛角尖,一定追求发音像一个本地人,只要我们的发音不至于让对方产生误解就可以了。我们在平时,不需要迷信什么科学方法,只需要记住一点:模仿。但一定要模仿标准的英语或美语。在模仿的基础上,每天保持[/FONT]1[FONT=宋体]个小时的自我口语练习,这个练习必须假想一个双向交流的场合,即仿佛有人与你交流一样。最后,讲讲英语的用气问题。我们在发音时,尽量气运丹田,而避免用肺发音,这可以使英语发音洪亮圆润。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思口语经验谈[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]推荐[/FONT])
[FONT=宋体]许多鸭友们也许一提到雅思的口语考试,就会觉得头疼。明明自己觉得说得很标准,但是一到考官面前,分数总是高不起来。让人百思不得其解,如何一步一步地提高你的口语水平?以下是我的一些经验。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]从开始接触英语,我一直自认为英语水平不错。工作以后,又可以经常和老外交流,所以自认为口语水平也很好。但是我接触到雅思考试后,才发现自己的口语还是存在很多问题的。慢慢改进,慢慢学习,总结了一些规律。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]首先是三步走:[/FONT]
1.
[FONT=宋体]首先要想说,且脸皮要厚,甚至是自言自语,直到梦里说英语的境界。以前觉得有些站在人多的地方读英语,是件很害羞的事情,其实不然,要厚脸皮才能达到练习的目的。[/FONT]
2.
[FONT=宋体]其次是教材选择,多媒体是不错的选择,我选的是美国的连续剧,听说并进。[/FONT]
3. last but the most important,
[FONT=宋体]坚持不懈的反复练习很关键,练习的目的是运用,不会用的话,学再多也是白费,这样一来,又返回到第一点[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]可以满足自己开口的欲望。所以我一直倡导[/FONT][FONT=宋体]学以致用[/FONT][FONT=宋体]的法则。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]说到这,有些人会问,我们有时候会在[/FONT]msn[FONT=宋体]上和老外聊天,英语水平提高了,但是一说又会觉得不够用。我也试过这样的方法,用这种方式聊天可以学到很多地道的表达方式,而且可以训练你的思维方式,对母语的对话训练也起到了潜移默化的作用。还可以多看看外国的电影,和连续剧,会学到很多母语者对话的方式。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]很多人还会通过背诵一些句型或者经典文章来提高自己的英文水平。我就曾经背过《新概念》,觉得还是很有效果的。但是这种方法是因人而异的,不一定所有人都适合。还有新概念里的很多单词现在用起来有些老套,我们在学习和背诵的时候应该取其精华,去其糟粕。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]现在我们来讨论一下语音语调的问题。有些人说英语的时候总是让人觉得很舒服,是因为他们的语音语调把握得很好。也许有些人会担心,自己的语音语调不好,考试的时候会不会影响分数?雅思考试明文规定语音语调是不在打分范围内的,以能听清楚发音为准。但是在西方的人际交往中,语音语调是一个很重要的因素。所以考官还是参考一下的。如果你说的很好听,考官才会有兴趣认真听啊。这是会有人问,那我怎么改进我的语音语调阿。很简单,两个字:模仿。美式英语就模仿[/FONT]VOA[FONT=宋体]或者[/FONT]CNN[FONT=宋体]中播音员的语音语调。英式的就可以模仿[/FONT]BBC[FONT=宋体]中的语音语调。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]当你做好这些的时候,不要以为万事大吉了,还要注意眼神的交流,也就是我们常说的[/FONT]eye contact,[FONT=宋体]这样有助于与考官进行深入的交流,会有一个好的分数。其实很简单,只要你能把考官当成自己的朋友一样,考试的时候就像与朋友在聊天,气氛轻松,考官会对你的回答很感兴趣,给你一个满意的分数。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]口语的语音语调明文规定是不打分的,以能听清楚发音为准[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]其实考官下意识是要参考的,这其实是不成文的规定,试想一下,若听起来太别扭的话,怎么会有心情去体验里面的含意。。。尤其在西方的面试和人际交道里,这个因素还是蛮重要的[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]但是我看过你的帖子说口试的语音语调也有分数的呀[/FONT]~
[FONT=宋体]如果你讲美式英语,可参考[/FONT]VOA[FONT=宋体],[/FONT]CNN[FONT=宋体]或者是肥皂剧里的对白[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]英式的嘛依此类推,比如参考[/FONT]BBC
[FONT=宋体]口语水平的高低很微妙。有人认为语音语调好了,语言流利了,或者非常非常非常(老外可不会这么说)流利了,甚至模仿到原声就是好了。这真的不一定。我见过一个学生,今年高三了。他对英语的学习叫做一种痴迷。口语相当的地道,所有跟他交流过的老外都会惊叹。闭上眼睛听以为就是在听[/FONT]Native speaker[FONT=宋体]在讲话。但他高二的时候去烤鸭。考官只给了[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]分。他不服,考了第二次,还是[/FONT]6[FONT=宋体]分。其实有时候口语还真没必要太好,能深人的交流是最重要的。当然,为了考试之类的话,又另当别论了。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]可能交流的时候没有注意[/FONT]eye contact[FONT=宋体]这种得吧[/FONT]~~~
[FONT=宋体]我觉得不太可能哦[/FONT]~

6. Does your name have any special meaning? ( 7 - 8 )
I presume you are referring to my Chinese name. Yes, the English equivalent of my family name would be something like ‘peace’, and in the case of my first name it would be ‘strong one’. My English name was randomly chosen by one of my high school teachers, and it really doesn’t have any special meaning.

8. Where do you come from?
8. How long have you lived in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )

8. Where do you come from?
8. How long have you lived in your hometown? ( 7 - 8 )

I come from Guangzhou. My parents have been living here for the past thirty years or so. I grew up here and attended a well-known high school called Zhixin High School, a major middle school in the province. We live in a respectable area with many shops, restaurants, and a variety of other businesses. The people in our building are generally friendly and quiet, which makes it a pleasure to live there.
9. Where do you live? ( 5 - 6 )
Well, that is not so easy to answer. Please allow me to explain. During the week I live in a dormitory at the university, but over weekends I live with my parents in a village about one hour by car from Guangzhou. So I really do not know which of the two to call my home at the moment.
9. Where do you live? ( 7 - 8 )
I live with my parents here in Guangzhou at the moment. To be more exact, we live in an apartment building in one of the northern suburbs of the city. I have my own room and enjoy the privacy that it brings, but I am looking forward to the day that I can have my own apartment. Allow me to explain: my parents are very nice and I love them very much, but I would like to be more independent soon.
10. Can you tell me something about your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, certainly. Guangzhou is in the southern part of China, and the capital of Guangdong province. It has many heavy industries such as automobile, aircraft, and machine tool manufacturers. In addition, it is rich in history. For example, the Japanese invaded the city and committed many atrocities (that is to say many crimes) during the occupation. This is still remembered by many of the elderly folks to this day.
11. Can you tell me about some famous landscapes in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
11. Can you tell me about some famous scenic spots in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
11. What are the main places of interest in your hometown? Why? ( 5 - 8 )
11. What places should foreigners visit in your hometown? Why? ( 5 - 8 )

Sure. Firstly, I’d like to mention the Pearl River, which you will find around the city. To the north of the city there are the famous Baiyun Mountains, the zoological park and botanical gardens. In summer the park is a popular place to visit and see tigers, bears, wolves, other animals and even pandas in their natural environment. In winter we often go skiing there. The Yuexiu Park is the second place I’d like to recommend. It consists of a large park, with many gardens and a lake. In addition, the city’s symbol, the Statue of Five Rams, is located in the park. There are many other sites in the city that are worthwhile visiting, such as Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Chen Clan Academy and the CITIC Building, which is the highest architectural attraction in Guangzhou.
12. What places in your hometown do you like best? ( 5 - 8 )
There are many places that I like. If I had to choose one place, I would like to tell you about Tianhe East Railway Square. It is the largest square in Guangzhou. It enjoys a large open space where one can see the sky clearly and feel free. Next, it houses a fabulous man-made waterfall. The waterfall is the largest of its kind in the whole Asia.
13. What are the main crops in your region? ( 7 - 8 )
The main crop in my hometown is, I’m afraid, skyscrapers, rather than wheat or corn, or something like that. You can see people plant bricks everyday, and months later skyscrapers grow up. Of course it’s just a metaphor, you know. Guangzhou is a metropolis. It almost has no agriculture and no crops.
or ( 5 - 6 ):
In our region many crops are grown. For example, one would find all kinds of vegetables in the fields of this region. In addition, many farmers have orchards. Here they grow many kinds of fruit like apples, pears, and peaches. Lastly, it is important to note that Guangzhou is not known for its agriculture. It is better known as an industrial city. For example, here are many heavy industries manufacturing anything from aircraft and automobiles to machine tools.
14. What is the difference between your hometown and Beijing / Hong Kong? ( 5 - 6 )
The main difference between Guangzhou and Beijing is the climate. Guangzhou enjoys a tropical climate. It is very hot and humid here. On the contrary, Beijing has cold winters and hot summers. Besides, Guangzhou is a regional center whereas Beijing is more a national or even world center.
15. What are the people like in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )
15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )

Well, they aren’t any different from the people in any other large city. For example, here we also have good and bad people. Secondly, like everyone else, they are trying to work out a good life for themselves and their children. For example, parents are trying all they can to ensure that their children receive a good education.
15. What are the people like in your hometown? ( 7 - 8 )
15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown?

Well, they aren’t any different from the inhabitants in any other large city. For example, here we also have many wholesome families as well as our share of criminal elements in the society. In addition, I believe that my hometown has not been westernized to the same extent as a city like Hong Kong. For example, in Guangzhou the people have not become materialistic to the same extent as the inhabitants of Hong Kong. In other words, in Guangzhou you would still find many good old-fashioned (traditional) people who have strong principles and values about many aspects of life.
[FONT=宋体]口语[/FONT]Part1[FONT=宋体]范文:[/FONT]PRESENT SITUATION
16. Are you a student or do you have a job? ( 5 - 8 )
I am a student at the moment. I am studying English on a full-time basis at a Language School here in Guangzhou. We have classes in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Wednesday afternoons we are off, and are allowed to go swimming at a nearby hotel. We have a number of foreign teachers who assist us in the correct pronunciation and grammar of the language.
16. Are you a student or do you have a job? ( 5 - 8 )
I have a job. I am working in a workshop of a large manufacturing plant at the moment. I graduated from high school two years ago, and went to work immediately.

For instance, I have the responsibility to see that are the tools are in good order, and that the workshop is always kept clean and tidy.
a) STUDENT
17. What is your major? ( 5 - 8 )

As I have been studying on a full-time basis at an English Language School, we have only one subject, namely English for Academic Purposes called EAP. We do reading and writing, practical speaking, and listening by means of cassettes. English is the language of the future, especially in the business world. What I mean to say is that when I am able to communicate well in English I will not only be able to go and study abroad and improve my qualifications, but also have mastered a very necessary tool for my future career.
18. What do you like most about your studies? ( 5 - 8 )
Well, I guess the speaking part. Please allow me to explain. Language is all about communication. So when I am able to communicate with someone in English, I feel that I have achieved something. I particularly like our free talk sessions with the foreign teachers. It gives me the opportunity to question them about their countries and cultures.
19. Which is the best university in China? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain my personal view by shortly mentioning the following points: I believe that Peking University in Beijing is the best one in the country. For example, it has the highest percentage of students passing their courses of all the universities in China.
20. Could you sum up your study habits? ( 5 - 8 )
I have well established study habits. I always start my study promptly at eight in the evenings. I study for two hours, have a ten-minute break, and the study for another two hours. I follow this habit from Monday’s to Friday’s, but over the weekends I spend most time in relaxing with my family or friends.

21. Do you think your present subjects are relevant to society? ( 5 - 8 )
Certainly. Allow me to explain myself by shortly mentioning the following points: First, we often use case studies in class. What I mean is that the professor gives us examples from real life to examine and report on. Moreover, our lecturers and some advisors from the relevant industries have set up our study materials. What I mean to say is that the people who we are going to work for one day have had the opportunity to tell the university what they think we should be taught.
22. What kind of job would you prefer after graduation? ( 5 - 8 )
I would like to become a medical doctor. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I would like to render a service in the community to which I will eventually belong. For example, I would like to assist the elderly that do not have the financial means to afford private hospitals.
23. What are your job prospects? ( 5 - 8 )
I am planning to become a Hotel Manager. I believe that the hotel industry will be growing greatly in future. People are becoming more affluent, and spend more and more of their money on holidays. In addition, I believe that after graduation I will be able to find a good job anywhere in the world. All hotels and resorts need well-trained professionals no matter where they are situated. The professionals ensure that hotel guests will have a good time and come back later.
b) EMPLOYEE
24. Do you have a degree? If so, when and where did you graduate? ( 5 - 8 )

Yes. I have a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering. I graduated in 2001 from the Liaoning University in Shenyang. It is the largest university in Liaoning Province and has about twenty thousand students.
24. Do you have a degree? If so, when and where did you graduate? ( 5 - 8 )
No. I have a Diploma in Nursing. I graduated in 2001 from the Medical Training College in Beijing. It is a well-known College giving excellent training to future nurses and other medical staff. For example, ambulance drivers, hospital staff, and so on are all trained there.
25. What impressed you most when you were at university / college? ( 5 - 8 )
I was most impressed by the knowledge and skills of my lecturers. For example, they had experience in the working environment, and could tell us exactly what we would come across there. Secondly, I was impressed by the facilities. For example, we had a large library, well-equipped laboratories, and sporting facilities at our disposal.
26. Do you still remember your school days? ( 5 - 8 )
Of course! Those were some of the best times in my life. They were absolutely carefree days. I had no or very few worries at school. My parents provided in my day-to-day needs, and all I had to do was get good marks. One more thing, I made many good friends there. Some of my best friends today were people that I met in school.
27. What do you do for a living? ( 5 - 8 )
27. Describe your job in detail. ( 5 - 8 )

I am an Engineer working for a large construction company in the city. To be more precise, I specialize in the building of railway bridges. When I am assigned a new bridge-building task, my colleague and I have to travel to the site, have a review of the surroundings, and then decide what type of bridge will be suitable. Lastly, we have to make recommendations to the railway company of all the alternatives, and give them some idea of the costs.
28. Is your job important to you? ( 5 - 6 )
Definitely. I can serve my community and my country through my job. For example, when my company builds a new road, many people benefit from our work. At the same time, it makes me feel good about myself. I become financially independent with the salary earned through my job
28. Is your job important to you? ( 7 - 8 )
The job means almost everything to me except my family. It provides a chance for me to serve my community and my country. For example, when my company builds a new road, people living along the road benefit from our work. At the same time, I personally get pride and the sense of achievement from the job. After we have completed a road, I am proud to drive on the road with my family and explain to them what was involved during the building of the road.
29. If you could, would you change jobs? ( 5 - 6 )
No, not really. What I mean is that I am very happy in my present job. I get along well with my colleagues and my salary is satisfactory. Should I change my job, however, I might not find such nice people to work with and could be very unhappy. What’s more important, I believe I will be able to develop my career here. If I keep up working hard and perform well, I could be promoted to head of a department in two years.
29. If you could, would you change jobs? ( 7 - 8 )
Although I am very happy in my present job, I believe one should always be ambitious. That is to say, one should never be complacent, but should be on the lookout for opportunities to advance in your career. Furthermore, I would not hesitate for one moment if I could obtain a promotion by changing jobs. I know one should show some loyalty to his/her present employer, but there has to be a balance between looking after one’s own interests and those of the present employer.
30. Are there possible changes that could affect your job in any way? ( 5 - 8 )
There may be some but not many, I believe. The company that I am working for is large and strong. In addition, I have a good relationship with my colleagues and my boss. The only possible change that comes to my mind is I may receive a promotion. That would be a positive development, so I don’t worry about it at all.

a) GENERAL
31. Could you tell me something about your family? ( 5 - 8 )
Certainly. My family is a typical Chinese one. It consists of my father, my mother and me. I am the only child. My grandparents passed away when I was still very young, so I did not have the privilege of knowing them. My father was one of their four children, and my mother has a brother, so I have a number of uncles and aunts and many cousins.
32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 5 - 6 )
That’s a tough question. I think we have to have the policy in China. Our population had been growing to rapidly and something drastic had to be done. Besides, the policy will give China a chance to move ahead in the world. What I mean to say is that as soon as the population growth has stabilized, China will be able to make progress in the fight against unemployment.
32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 7 - 8 )
That’s a controversial question in China. In my opinion, the policy has both merits and shortcomings. The policy is one of the most effective tools to solve the increasing problem of overpopulation in the country. On the other hand, the One-Child Policy has been extremely harsh on the people. It violates basic human rights. For example, it deprives women of their fertility rights.
33. Why do people in China traditionally want to have a son? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. I believe the most important reason lies in fathers. They want their children to carry their name into the future. Only sons can fulfill the task. For example, in many western countries it is customary for a boy to receive his grandfather’s name. A second reason that I could mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them after they retired. They feel that when they have a son he would be able to provide for them in future.
34. Who does most of the shopping in your family? ( 5 - 8 )
As far as this topic is concerned, I would say that my mother does most of the shopping, but my father and I will do some shopping from time to time. My parents allow me to buy my own clothes. The last thing I would like to mention that my mother does not like my father’s smoking habit and therefore refuses to buy cigarettes, so that my father has to do that kind of shopping himself.
35. Who does most of the cooking in your family? ( 5 - 8 )
My mother does most of the cooking, but my father and I will do some cooking from time to time. For example, sometimes when my mother is out the whole day doing voluntary work in our community and then my father and I will do the cooking for her. The second aspect I could tell you regarding this topic is that we often eat out. For example, often on a Friday night none of us feel like cooking, and then we visit one of the local restaurants, and have our favorite dish.
36. How does your family feel about you going abroad? ( 5 - 8 )
They feel very happy about it and give me 100% support. I believe my parents will be very proud if I may achieve a degree at a university abroad. In addition, they themselves never had the opportunity to study in foreign countries. Since I am their only child, they would do anything in their power to allow me to have the opportunity.
b) MARRIED PERSON
37. Are you married, and if so when did you get married? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, I am married. I got married about three years ago. I have a good husband / wife, and we are very happy together. To put it in another way you could say that we are best friends. We do not keep any secrets from one another. We had known each other for many years before we got married, so we did not have to adjust too much. For instance, I knew before marriage that he snores loudly when he turns onto his back when sleeping, but I didn’t mind.
38. Do you have any children? ( 5 - 8 )
No, I don’t have any children yet. We are planning to start with a family as soon as we have our own apartment. Until then my husband / wife and I are working as hard as possible to improve our life. We would both like to have a son and a daughter, but because of the one-child policy that will not be possible.
39. What is your child’s name? Does it have any meaning? ( 5 - 8 )
My child’s name is Li Ao Sheng. He was born on the day that Macao became part of China again. That’s why he got the name. His nickname is Bao Bao, as we believe that he is going to become a strong man one day.
40. What does your wife do? ( 5 - 8 )
My wife is a housewife at the moment. We are looking for a job for her, but it is not easy, as she does not have any qualifications or experience. A new supermarket will be opened in our area soon, and we hope that she will be able to find a job there. She has placed her name on a waiting list, and we will be hearing from the employment officer soon.
41. What does your husband do? ( 5 - 8 )
My husband is a civil servant. He works for the Department of Health at a hospital near our home. He is responsible for keeping the patient records in the men’s wards. He loves his work, and is receiving a good salary, so we don’t have any serious worries. As a matter of fact we both agree that we have a lot to be thankful for.
42. Did you have a honeymoon, and if so where did you go? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, We did have a honeymoon. We went to Dalian for a week, and stayed in a small hotel next to the beach. I will never forget the time we spent there. For example, it was very romantic, as we could sit on the beach in the evenings and watch the moon rising over the sea.
43. Did you and your spouse have to ask permission from your parents before you could get married? ( 5 - 8 )
No, not really. They knew we were going to get married. We only had to confirm the date with them to ensure that it would suit them and our families. In earlier times is was customary for the young man to get the permission from his girlfriend’s parents before they could get married.
44. Is living together without getting married acceptable in China? ( 5 - 8 )
These days the practice is becoming more and more acceptable to society. What I mean to say is that it all depends on the couple now. Young people feel that they first want to know each other even better by living together. When they are absolutely sure that they are able to adapt to each other’s lifestyles, they would then most probably decide to get married.
45. Do you think couples should live with their parent or on their own? ( 5 - 8 )
Definitely the latter. There are several reasons as for why I think couples should life on their own. Allow me to explain by mentioning some of them briefly. First, I believe couples should become independent as soon as possible. They should learn how to cope with the money at their disposal. Also, they should be alone as soon as possible. Generation gap can be the trigger for many quarrels between the young and old generations.
46. What responsibilities should a couple take? ( 5 - 8 )
There are several responsibilities that couples should take. In the first place, I believe they should be responsible for their own finances. Young couples usually do not have a lot of money. They should try to find ways to make ends meet. In the second place, they have to look after their child if they have one. They have to feed the kid and ensure that he/she gets a good education.
c) CHILDREN
47. Are there any traditions around the birth of a baby in your region? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, there are quite a few. After the baby is born, the father will give his wife some flowers, and take photographs of the baby and her. When the baby arrives at home, the parents will make prints of its hands and feet. The prints, together with a paintbrush made by using some of the babies hair, will be kept as souvenirs.
48. What kind of parent do you intend to be? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s a good question. I’d like to mention the following points in this regard. First of all, I would love my child unconditionally. What I mean is that I know my child is not perfect, but I will still love him/her even if he/she has made mistakes. Next, I would like to be a strict but fair parent. I will not give my child too many freedoms, but I will also try to understand and satisfy his/her needs.
49. What hopes or fears do you have concerning your children? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. What makes I worry most is that my children will have a very tough life. I wonder if they will have work to do since unemployment rate is so high even now. I hope that they will be happy. They will find a good spouse, have children and live together in peace and love, just like the ending of a fairy tale.
50. What type of culture do you want your child to grow up in? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s a broad question. I’d like to mention the following points: first and foremost, I would like my child to grow up in a culture of love. That is, the circumstances in our home will be full of love and understanding. Furthermore, I hope my child will grow up in a culture where the finer things in life are important. Things like music, art, and studying should be part of his life from the beginning.
51. Are you going to bring your children up differently from the way you were brought up? Why? ( 5 - 8 )
No, not really. I believe my parents raised me well and gave me a good education. If I could do the same for my child I would be happy. Maybe I would be a bit more modern. For example, I believe my parents were unreasonably strict at times. I would try and keep a balance between discipline and freedom.
d) WOMAN
52. Is there any sex discrimination in China? ( 5 - 8 )
52. Describe the position of woman in China? ( 5 - 8 )

Sex discrimination against women can still be found in China though the country has tried very hard to eliminate it. One obvious example is that women who are doing exactly the same job as men are getting smaller salaries. Moreover, women are not considered for certain high level positions, say, in government. In addition, in many communities in China, women are still regarded as inferior to men. This is particularly true in the rural areas. Last but not the least, parents prefer to have a boy as opposed to a girl. This is against the nature, as it will upset the balance between men and women in China in the years to come.
53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 5 - 8 )
One of the main reasons regarding this topic that I would like to highlight is the fact that men often determine the wages in the companies. Next, women are not seen as able to do certain jobs as well as men. For instance, construction work has always been seen as a man’s job. Lastly, many men still have the traditional idea that a woman should stay at home, raise the kids and serve her husband.
53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 7 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain myself by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that discrimination against woman have deep roots in societies all over the world. In other words, it is not a present day phenomenon. Throughout history woman have not enjoyed the same status as men. It is only recently that woman have been filling the same positions as men in the work place. Lastly, I believe that it will take much more time to eradicate this practice. For example, as more and more woman become the sole breadwinners in families, they will have to be compensated as such irrespective of their sex.
54. Should housewives be paid a salary by the government? Why? (5-8)
Yes, I believe housewives should be paid a salary by the government. Firstly, to be a housewife is a job just as any other, and one should be paid for what you are doing. Secondly, the more housewives there are, the better. For example, housewives can spend more time with their babies, and so lay the foundation of healthy relationships.

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.

Last week it explained how some birds have adapted themselves to survive in a desert.

It depends. Sometimes I prefer to be alone. For example, after a hard day at work I just want to relax without anybody disturbing me.

For example, over weekends, I like to go out with them and enjoy their stimulating company.

These movies are from Hong Kong or Hollywood, and have famous actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise playing in them.

d) OUTINGS
63. What do you usually do when you go out? ( 5 - 6 )
I usually go to the nearest net bar with some of my friends. We spend many hours playing games or surfing the net. In addition, net bars are a great place for social gatherings. There we meet other youngsters and just hang around talking, and generally having a good time.
63. What do you usually do when you go out? ( 5 - 6 )

63. What do you usually do when you go out? ( 7 - 8 )
I usually go to watch a football game with some of my friends. We go to one of the local stadiums where our favorite team will be playing. I love the excitement and suspense. It seems that I often loose my identity in such a large crowd, and go crazy about the smallest of things.
e) READING
64. Do you like reading? ( 5 - 6 )

64. Do you like reading? ( 7 - 8 )
Yes, I like it very much. I believe that all of us should read a lot. When you read, you acquire new knowledge, which in turn will broaden your views on important issues.

I like novels. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, I like to read a storyline that is full of intrigue and suspense.

The most common one known all over the world since ancient times is the so-called ‘love triangle’.

I have read a book about the life of Michael Jordan. I am sorry, but I have forgotten the name of the book. I also like to read Japanese cartoons.
66. Describe a book that you have read recently. ( 7 - 8 )
I have recently read a book about the history of South Africa. It is called ‘ The Covenant’, and was written by a famous American author called James Mitchener. It describes the history from the very first days, up to the present. It covers all aspects of the country, but focuses on the people of the country. For example, he looks at the political situation over the past fifty years, which was based on racial discrimination and had become known to the world as ‘apartheid’.
67. Do you often read newspapers? ( 5 - 6 )
No, I never read newspaper. I watch TV if I want to know what is happening in China and the world. It takes too much time to read newspapers. For example, the news on TV is short and to the point, and that’s all I want to know.
67. Do you often read the newspapers? ( 7 - 8 )
No. I have used the Internet these days to know what’s happening in China and the world. Websites like CNN contain all the latest news on world events. Besides, I like to read about stories in depth, and this I cannot find in newspapers. One more thing that newspaper are lack of is the history behind a story. By the Internet I can do some research right away, and thus gain a broader perspective on the subject at hand.

HOBBIES
68. Do you have a hobby? ( 5 - 8 )

Stamps provide rich knowledge. For example, the stamps from other countries often tell something about the countries and their people.
69. Why have you chosen this hobby? ( 7 - 8 )
The hobby provides fun as well as knowledge. First of all, when you collect stamps, you are able to learn more about the world, and you will not be bored easily. What I mean to say is that you can get stamps from every country in the world, and the stamps from other countries often tell something about the countries and their people. Another reason is that you are able to meet new friends through your hobby. If you have a common interest with someone else, then you can discuss your collections together for many hours and it’s easy for both of you to become friends. One more thing, the hobby will teach you some self-discipline and how to be very systematic. That is to say, you have to arrange your collections regularly, which cultivates your habit of being systematic.
70. What are good hobbies, and what are bad hobbies? ( 5 - 8 )
In my opinion, good hobbies are those that give you the opportunity to develop a new skill. For example, collecting stamps teaches you how to be systematic. Bad hobbies, on the other hand, may make you lose the opportunity. For example, TV and computer games will waste a lot of your time, so you don’t have time and energy to do develop other skills.
g) COLORS
71. What color do you like? Why? ( 5 - 6 )
I prefer red. In China, red is associated with life and good luck. A traditional Chinese bride wears something red on her wedding day, such as her wedding gown and handkerchief used to cover her head, in the hope that it will bring her and her bridegroom some luck in future.
71. What color do you like? Why? ( 7 - 8 )
If I had to describe my favorite color, I would choose yellow. Many artists are known to use yellow in their paintings.

For example, South Africa has a broad yellow band in their newly designed flag. This symbolizes the energy and warmth to be found in the nation.

Yellow is my favorite color. First of all, to me, yellow symbolizes the sun. What I mean to say is that it reminds me of energy and warmth.

72. Do colors have some symbolic meaning in China? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, colors certainly have a lot of meaning in China. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, it is significant that the national flag of China has a red background. Red is symbolic, for example, of a vibrant life, which we believe are one of the dominant characteristics of the country and its people. It also signifies good luck, so a bride would wear some red on her wedding day. In addition, I think that yellow has a specific meaning to Chinese people. For example, we believe that it symbolizes the energy radiated by the sun, which in turn is the primary source of life. In addition, however, it also signifies the obscene, as apposed to blue in the most of the western cultures. For example, here a ‘blue movie’, would be called a ‘yellow movie’. Lastly, I think that white has a special meaning to us. To be more specific, in times of sadness and mourning, we use white to express our feelings, as apposed to black in most of the western cultures.

73. Do you like / enjoy shopping? ( 7 - 8 )
No, I hate shopping. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, shopping is the most basic activity in a capitalistic society. What I mean to say is that somebody has a product which they would like you to buy from them whether you really need it or not. They lure you into their shops and malls by advertising their goods on TV and in the newspapers. They only tell you about the positive aspects of their product, but would never mention the disadvantages. This you have to find out for yourself, usually after you have bought the product.
i) MOVIES

Yes, I go to the cinema as often as possible. I believe that films are a wonderful form of art. In films there are a wide range of genres ranging from comedy and drama, to horror and science fiction. For example, recently I have seen the movie ‘Titanic’, which has been described as the most expensive film ever made. The extent to which the producers attended to the details of the original ship was astounding. Another example would be the thriller ‘Silence of the Lambs’ with my favorite actor Anthony Hopkins playing the leading role. It had me on the edge of my seat for most of the time.
75. Do you often go to the theater? ( 5 - 8 )
No. I have never been to the theater. It is too expensive for me. I prefer to go to the cinema. Secondly, I believe that the theater is boring. What I mean to say is that the actors are on the same stage the whole time. I cannot see how that can be as exciting as a good movie.

I like comedies. First of all, comedies are of great fun. What I mean is that I have a good laugh while watching them. Secondly, comedies seldom contain violent scenes.

78. Do you think music is important? ( 5 - 8 )

What I mean to say is that us youngsters like to listen to music that fits in with the way we feel Secondly, usually has a good rhythm. For instance, it is suitable for us to dance on. Lastly, pop music is simple to understand. That is to say, I like it because it is not difficult to understand, and it helps me to relax after I have been studying hard for some time.
80. How long do you listen to music everyday? ( 5 - 8 )
Oh, let me think for a while. I guess I listen to music for about half an hour every day. I would, for example, listen when I get home from school, or in the evenings before I go to bed. On weekends, however, I listen to music much more. For example, I would invite my best friend over to my place, and we would listen to our favorite CD’s for a few hours at a time.
k) TRAVELLING
81. Do you like traveling? ( 5 - 6 )
Yes, I like traveling. Firstly, I believe that traveling is always educational. What I mean to say is that the people that you meet along the way are usually interesting. Secondly, I wish I were able to travel more. For example, I have not traveled to a foreign country yet.
82. How do you usually travel? ( 5 - 8 )
In China I like to travel by train. Allow me to explain. Firstly, when I travel by train I am able to see more of China. In addition, the trains in China are convenient and comfortable. For example, I can travel to any city, and I am able to sleep on the train. Lastly, traveling on a train is a social event as well. For example, one can chat with other passengers about where they are going, and why they are traveling.
83. Where have you traveled to lately? ( 5 - 8 )
I traveled to Dalian last month. My parents and I traveled there by train. We went to see my grandmother who has been ill lately. I enjoyed the trip as I have not been to Dalian before. Moreover, the city has left me a deep impression for its fresh air and clean environment.
84. What kind of places do you like to visit? ( 5 - 8 )
I like to visit places where there is a lot of entertainment. For example, I don’t like it when we go and visit my grandparents in the countryside. They live on a farm and don’t even have a computer for me to play on. I hope the places I go to have coffee shops and theaters at least.
l) Time
85. What do you think of time?
To me, time is my competitor. I always have a lot of things to do and a lot of dreams to fulfill, so I have to run against time and do my things as fast as possible. That’s why I consider time my competitor.
86. How do you think of being late?
It is quite rude to be late. Generally, people who don’t show up on time are considered impolite. Moreover, they show disrespect to others because others have to wait for them.
87. How do you feel if you are late? How will others feel?
I will feel quite sorry for those who have to wait for me. I may also have the feeling of being embarrassed and shameful. Whenever I show up late, I must apologize sincerely to others. Of course, I have few chances to do so because generally I am always punctual.

I owe this good result to good preparation, the teachers' advice and a bit of luck. I was the last one of the total 3 days' oral test, so I have two days and a half to prepare. I stayed in front of the computer and writing and murmuring answers to the questions that previous candidates posted. so almost all the questions the examinar asked had been prepared by me.
She was tired, after two and a half days' speaking, and spoke very fast and interrupted almost every response i gave. I spoke fast,too, because i have prepared for all the answers. So it seems the whole test only took 10 minutes also. It does seem pretty short after i have recalled all the course of the conversation.
What’s your name?
My full name is Zhen Fang Ling. If you don’t mind, you can also call me Lynn.
(This is a bit like reciting, and I rushed to say the second sentence, because she was going to interrupt me when I just finished the first sentence.)
Are you a student or are you working?
I am working as a teacher.(“as a teacher” was almost stopped by her interruption, but she seemed impressed when hearing it.)
Have you thought of a change?
No…
Why not?
I enjoyed my work. Although I have taught English for 10 years,11 years actually, my work changed from year to year. I first taught 11 year-olds and then 14 year-olds and now 16 or 17 year-olds. I experience different things every year and I am never bored.
Any interesting people you met in your work?
Oh, yes. The students are interesting, young people, energetic and creative. I enjoy interacting with them and learn a lot from them. Also, because my school is expanding, we have new teachers coming every year from all over the country, including foreign teachers(er,foreign teachers are not from the country). I like to meet new people and exchange ideas and know different lives and cultures.
Now let’s talk about photographs. Do Chinese people like to take photographs?
Yes, as more and more people are going traveling, they take pictures of places they visit and keep them for memory…(interrupted)
What kind of photographs do you like?
You mean photos taken by professional photographers?
Yes.
Well, I like photographs of people. I like to read the expression, (er..and)the emotion of the people on the picture and know their lives….(interrupted)
Do you prefer to buy picture postcards or take photos?
Sorry?
Do you like to buy picture postcards or take photos?
Hm?[FONT=宋体]([/FONT]confused by the picture and photos, think it means the difference between picture and photos[FONT=宋体])[/FONT]
Do you prefer to buy picture postcards or take photos when you visit places?
Oh, I see, one is to buy and the other is to take by myself?
Yes.
I do both.(er.forgot to say thank you) When I am traveling, and I see beautiful scenery, I take photos. However, when I see pictures taken by professional photographers on sale in the shops, I find mine are not as good as them, I will buy some and post them to my friends…(interrupted)
Let’s talk about food. Who cook in your family?
I am considered to be lucky, because I live with my parents-in-law. And in China, it’s common that older generation, retired people prepare food for the family….(interrupted)
Do you think it’s important for the family to eat together?
Oh, yes, I do. Eating together provide an opportunity for the family members to exchange ideas and share each other’s experience. It helps to strengthen the relationship between family members and keep the family close…(interrupted)
What kind of food is popular in your culture?
Ah... My culture is a diverse one. We have different food in different places, different provinces. For example, I am Cantonese, I like Cantonese food. However, people from Hunan think Cantonese food is tasteless. They prefer Hunan food, spicy food. So it is difficult to choose one particular food that is popular in the whole country.
Now I will give you a topic. You will talk about it for one to two minutes. So don’t worry if I stop you. You will have one minute to prepare for it. You can make notes if you like.
Here is the card.
Thanks.
Recently I saw a movie on line. It’s called Saving face, directed by a Chinese-American director called ….Alex Wu, cast by(er. Casting)a group of Chinese-American actors and actresses, including one of my favorite actresses Joan Chen, who immigrated to the United States in the 1980s. That mean when I was a little kid, I saw movies of hers. This movie is about a Chinese mother and an American daughter, who has grown up with her grandparents in the United States. It shows how the mother gets along with her daughter, how to cope with her new American life and how she handles her own emotional problems. At the end of the movie, the mother and the daughter finally understand each other. The mother accepted the fact that her daughter is lesbian. And the daughter also encourages her mother to accept a marriage with(to) a young manshe married a man who is almost 20 years younger than her. This movie shows….(interrupted)
Do you want to see the movie again?
No, I don’t think so, because I saw the movie on line, and I was able to repeat it again and again. I think I have known the movie enough and there is no need to….
Have you told anybody about the film?
No…oh yes, I talked about it to a friend of mine when we were chatting on line…
What is the status of film making in your country?
Oh, it is becoming increasingly important. There is a big market for it in the country and many companies are investing in the film industry…(interrupted)
What is the status of actresses and actors in your country?
Well…opinions vary. Young people admire movie stars, the glamour, trend, fashion..They see them as heroes. However, older people have negative opinions towards them. To them, many movie stars have problems. Some of them have drug problems, divorces….they don’t like them at all….(interrupted)
How do movies influence people?
The content, the content of a movie have influences on people. For example, if a movie is about how people persevere to succeed. Young people may be inspired and motivated to seek success after they see it….(interrupted)
How do you see the educational value in films and that in reading?
Well, you think when you read, so . However, when you see a movie, movies are full of plots, some are really exciting. You can’t really think when you watch them. You might think after you watch the movie, but not during watching it. So I think reading has more educational value than seeing films.
How does seeing films help with learning languages?
Oh, it helps a lot in learning languages, because learning a language is a process of imitating.. When students are seeing a film, he is imitating the expressions, the pronunciation and the vocaburary. Most important of all, they enjoy it! I use that a lot in my class....
Isn’t it a bit passive?
Oh, yeah,it is a bit. That’s why we don’t do that often in ….ah serious class time. We do that at weekends when students are relaxing…(interrupted)
How do you plan a lesson with films?
I will…First, I will tell them that we are going to show a movie and then ask them to guess what the content is .Then we show the movie, after seeing it, we’ll discuss about it to see who has guessed right. And if we have more time for it, we usually pick one scene for the students to act. Or sometimes we pick several scenes and different groups of students act them. We put them together and we have a movie of our own…
Bascially, if your occupation is a english teacher and on this work have worked for 10years, you totally should attain a score 8 in speaking part, even in all parts.

[FONT=宋体]回头看整个过程[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]应该比较全的了[/FONT]),[FONT=宋体]我也觉得[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分似乎挺容易的[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]但我也曾用雅思的评分标准来分析自己的表现[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]我觉得自己的[/FONT]fluency, coherence and pronunciation [FONT=宋体]都无懈可击[/FONT]. [FONT=宋体]我也尽量显示了一些词汇[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]如果不是被打断太多[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]应该还可以再[/FONT]show[FONT=宋体]一些的[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]关于[/FONT]grammar, [FONT=宋体]这些话题都不需要用过去时和[/FONT]she/he,[FONT=宋体]所以大大地减少了犯错的机会[/FONT].[FONT=宋体]大家也看到了里面有很多[/FONT]fragments,[FONT=宋体]但这在谈话中是难以避免的[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]所以考官就原谅了我吧[/FONT].
don't take things for granted. I am sure ielts are all about preparation. I heard many english majors fail this test. And i am sure if your pronuciation is good and have good preparation,you can possibly get an 8. Conversely, even you can speak great english but don't prepare enough and don't obey the rules,there is a good chance you fail.
When i was doing the simulate test with a scottish teacher, he pointed out my weakness mercilessly. I gave him short answers all the time in the first part and spoke incoherently in the second. Interrupted by him in the two parts many times, i started to use long sensentences and bigger words in the last part. ONly until then he was a bit satisfied with my performance. He said, " your English has no problem, your accent is excellent. However( we are not allowed to use but), if you do like the first part and second part, 5 or 6." I believe him. He knew i was an English teacher, still, he didn't think i can naturally get a high score.
Looking back to the whole conversation, i guess the examinar went through the time quite comfortably. She has been working for almost 3 days, and was too tired to struggle a conversation with a candidate. She read from the paper and spoke extremely fast. I did the same and kept speaking at length. Although i did make her repeat one question 3 times, it didn't affect much.
Also, one thing i worried after the exam is that she could clearly tell that i have prepared. And some people say that will be bad. Now, you know there is never too much preparation for ielts. Just prepare, as long as you don't recite looking at the ceiling, it is fine.
[FONT=宋体]雅思口语必杀秘笈[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]口语考试最紧张的时候不是在说的时候而是在门外等的时候,一边希望下一个就是自己,同时心里也十分紧张。其实这种情况对口语考试的发挥是很不利的。在等待的时候建议不要想待会对着鬼子要怎么说,而是怎样才能把鬼子俘虏过来。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]口语考试的本质不在于你能说得多么流利,英语的词汇量有多大,而是你是否能和别人清楚明白的表达自己的想法。除了用语言,眼神和手势也是很重要的,特别是对于我们这些英语不是非常流利,程度尚浅的打鸭队员来说,考试的时候要注意以下几点:[/FONT]
1.[FONT=宋体]考前在心里上要不断鼓励自己,相信自己是最好的。考试的时候只有你和考官,不用担心有别人听到你们的谈话(至于录音机的用处下面会说明)[/FONT]
2.[FONT=宋体]见到老外的第一眼要主动向他打招呼,最好是能上前和他握手。在考官带你到考室的路上他会让你把包放在门外的小椅子上,同时让你把手机等移动设备关掉,这时你应该主动抢着说[/FONT] i have switched it off.[FONT=宋体]在门口你要让考官先进入考室,如果你先进去了要等考官进来了再坐下,坐之前先要问:[/FONT]may i sit down?[FONT=宋体]这样会让考官觉得你很懂礼貌,从旁观者角度上说,从一开始你就占据了主动。[/FONT]
3.[FONT=宋体]考官带你进入考室后会确认你的身份然后问你是否准备好。接下来他会打开录音机捧着考试章程对着那东西机械地读上一遍,这种情景往往会令人很紧张,其实没必要,你就当鬼子在[/FONT][FONT=宋体]念经[/FONT][FONT=宋体]。[/FONT]
4.[FONT=宋体]当考试开始的时候第一部分是聊家常,这部分可以准备,即使背也行,但说的时候要自然点,不要让鬼子看出你是在背而不是说。第二部分是[/FONT]topic[FONT=宋体]。建议不要仅仅依赖无忧雅思的口语几经,可以参考一下然后自己准备薄弱的[/FONT]topic[FONT=宋体]。宁愿找一些相关词组和单词也不要事先准备好文章然后背出来在考试的时候说。[/FONT]

5.
[FONT=宋体]从开始到结束始终要让考官觉得你很有信心,眼睛要看着考官,眼神里要流入出真诚和自信(把考官当成是你的好朋友,包考试当作再和他聊天就能做到),说得不好没关系,说错了也不要紧,记得纠正过来,不会影响你的分数。同时在考试的时候要会用手势来表达自己,这样一方面让考官觉得你很自然,不紧张,另一方面能够弥补你语言上的表达不足。[/FONT]
6.[FONT=宋体]坐在椅子上的姿势不要太拘谨,就像平时上课的时候样子。如果做不到,建议座着的时候让自己的上身挺直,加上你的眼神和你的手势,能让考官觉得你是个很有信心而且善于交流的人。从一开始你就有了很好的印象分数(印象分是很重要的,确实存在的)。[/FONT]
7.[FONT=宋体]如果碰到自己很难回答的问题,就不要正面回答,比如你可以说:[/FONT]i don't have many ideas about this but in my mind, there may be... or i guess...[FONT=宋体]但千万不要说[/FONT] i don't know. [FONT=宋体]同样你也可以获得更多的时间来考虑一个问题,那时你可以说:[/FONT]let me see...[FONT=宋体]等等。[/FONT]
8.[FONT=宋体]考试结束的时候记得说再见,并随手关门,这些进门打招呼说再见的部分都算在印象分里面,等你出了门,考官就把你的分数打出来了。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]至于那个录音机,不要怕。他的用处是针对考官的不是你的。当你的雅思成绩中如果其他很高,口语却很低的时候,考官会拿出磁带重新确认你的英语水平,以防因为主观原因而使你的口语分数偏低。[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]雅思考试口语[/FONT]8[FONT=宋体]分的练习法[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]中国的学生往往能够取得优异的[/FONT]TOEFL[FONT=宋体]成绩,个中原因我想不言自明。但是遇到有[/FONT]SPEAKING[FONT=宋体]项目的考试,很多同学,包括偶在内,在准备阶段都十分紧张也十分头疼,最担心的莫过于在考试时头脑出现瞬间空白而场面尴尬,从而也使自己更加紧张,成绩当然不会理想。我的建议就是准备要充分,切忌侥幸心理。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  准备要充分体现在:[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]1)[FONT=宋体]对于话题的范围准备要充分。虽然[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体]口语范围很广,准备的时候不可能面面俱到,但是复习阶段要锻炼自己[/FONT]BRAINSTORM[FONT=宋体]的能力,就是从一个已给出的话题不断延伸,而且延伸的范围要在合理的情况下越广越好,试想真的考试中考官会基于刚才的话题引申出什么新话题,并且对于每个话题,自己有些什么东西好讲也要有基本的思路。我的习惯是当天把一类话题之间的引申顺序和讲的思路都记录下来的,等到临考时的复习就很明确也很省时了。个人认为对提高第一、三部分成绩尤为有效,不过对于第二部分的话题准备当然也是很有用的。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]2)[FONT=宋体]准备的形式要参考考试形式。我的做法是把手上口语资料里的[/FONT]TOPIC[FONT=宋体]一个一个都分别抄在纸片上,然后放在一个大信封里,每天有空的时候就抽一个出来,准备一分钟,讲一分钟。这是专门针对[/FONT]IELTS [FONT=宋体]口语第二部分的准备[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]好象[/FONT]BEC [FONT=宋体]高级里的第二部分也可以采用类似的方法,但是那里没有提示,却改为三个话题选其一[/FONT])[FONT=宋体]。一分钟计时,个人认为最好用那种家用的到时可以叫的小计时器,如果没有,用一般的手表或钟也可以,缺点就是要时时关心时间。[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]不过偶并没有特意去买计时器,看个人的情况了,呵呵[/FONT])
[FONT=宋体]  [/FONT]3)[FONT=宋体]说到口语考试不能不提到临场。曾经看到一个视频说[/FONT][FONT=宋体]因为中文和英文的发音部位不同,所以建议大家考口语之前先在没人的地方活动嘴巴[/FONT]30[FONT=宋体]分钟,放松肌肉[/FONT][FONT=宋体]呵呵。虽然这样做有点夸张,但偶还是建议,无论如何都不要趴着睡觉。[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体]是一对一,所以你可以和别的鸭友聊天,偶那天就异常兴奋地和坐在前排的两个[/FONT]JJ[FONT=宋体]聊天来着,结果轮到自己了,也不紧张,因为已经放开了,呵呵。而[/FONT]BEC[FONT=宋体]是二对二,你就可以先找到有可能成为自己[/FONT]PARTNER[FONT=宋体]的人用英语先交流,相互熟悉对方的口音等等。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]  因为这些考试有口语的部分,所以更加具有挑战性,个人认为对于英语能力的提高也更有帮助。首先要正视它,就象轮到你了,有考官拿着表格来领你,不要害怕,有什么了不起,对他[/FONT]/[FONT=宋体]她微笑,反正已经准备好了,你就问吧。呵呵,偶当时就是这么想的,结果发现无论[/FONT]BEC [FONT=宋体]高级还是[/FONT]IELTS[FONT=宋体],偶准备的广度和深度都比实际考试的要大的多,所以充分的准备是前提,准备好了,自然就得心应手[/FONT]([FONT=宋体]这好象是杨澜接受采访时讲的,呵呵[/FONT])[FONT=宋体]。这不仅仅是应付考试,对于口语交流能力的提高我想才是我们平时联系的最终目的。[/FONT]
