雅思口语中中式口语如何调整
雅思口语中为了能够顺畅地用英文来表达自己的意思,我们还真得纠正下咱的“中国式口语”。下面小编就和大家分享雅思口语说得快是否就是流利,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧!
雅思口语中“中式”口语如何调整
雅思口语评分标准中,“发音”是其中一项,占据了总评分的“四分之一壁江山”。雅思注重考查烤鸭们的沟通能力,对于伦敦腔、纽约范并没有什么执念,但对于发音准确性、语音语调等影响表意的因素,还是重视的。
另外,能够跳脱出固有的文化思维,用英语国家惯有的思维逻辑来表述,也是对中国烤鸭的一大挑战,如果真的按照中国式诗词歌赋的思路来说话,就真的会在对方脑袋里画下无数个问号,影响沟通了。
为了能够顺畅地用英文来表达自己的意思,我们还真得纠正下咱的“中国式口语”,快来看看问题真正出在哪,以及有什么妙招解决吧!
“奇怪在哪儿?就像卡在钢琴缝”
汉克曾经问过自己的外教:
What do you think of my pronunciation?
外教则直接用汉语回答说:
“你发音没问题。但是语调有问题。”
问题出在哪儿呢?
其实,但凡你看过欧美电影,就会发现外国人讲话都很“用力”。
Are you kidding me、Really、It is none of your business…不仅是在着急生气的时候,他们平常的对话或演讲,也都是抑扬顿挫、声情并茂的,而他们的每一句话也很可能因为语音语调和强弱变化,而传达给对方完全不同的意思。
可在我们的文化中,如果你平时“声情并茂地朗读课文”……那你要么是个小学生,要么就是在春晚演小品的。
所以,当我们带着中文的语言习惯,说着没有连读、没有爆破、语调平平的英语,再加上常常搞错单词中的重音,就会让外国人很难GET到你的重点,从而产生“听不懂”的错觉。
同时,我们的“中国式英语训练后遗症”也在这一刻使了绊子——总有一些惯性错误在脑子里绕梁三日,就是不绝啊。。。
刚到美国的Joy去食堂吃饭,被后面的女同学撞到,撒了一身的菜汤:
“I am sorry!”女同学花容失色。
Joy回过头,大脑一片空白地回答道:“You are welcome.”
和Joy一样,很多留学生也是因为这样的“惯性思维”留下了许多笑话,当我们直接将中文思维翻译成英语的时候——
“Can I have another one?”
服务生惊恐,我们的菜哪里不好吗?
“Just one more, please.”
救场。原来只是想多要一份。
那咋整?赶紧练吧
因此,口语被排在倒数第二,发音不是bug,真正该背锅的是我们的惯性思维和语音语调。
事实上,改变这些并不难,当那些在国外混迹几十年的老教授操着一口北京腔湖南腔的英语进行演讲的时候,也并没有外国人会觉得出戏。
想改变这一切的关键,是我们要“伪装”一下几十年的经验。
进阶第一步 选对情境,追吧
小片片无疑是让你“在线”体会国外的社会情境并收获经验的最佳选择了,使用“生肉+跟读”的方式可以很快地提高你的英语口语水平~
当然,选择小片片也不能盲目,因为不是所有电视剧都适合练口语。
以下几类说不定能对你有所帮助:
①生活类:常见的对话
《Modern Family》
摩登家庭(美国)
该剧是美国家庭类电视剧的代表之一,讲述了由普通家庭、同性恋家庭、黄昏恋家庭组成的一个大家族的故事,诙谐幽默又不乏对真理的探讨。
《Fleabag》
伦敦生活(英国)
主要讲述主角Fleabag邋遢、糟糕的生活,无法收拾、自顾不暇是她的真实的写照,她总是很丧,又总装得很酷,在大都市里艰难生活着。
这类小片片以生活中的故事为主,情节温馨搞笑又生活化,对话简单明了又便于理解。剧中发生的争吵、问题等也都是现实生活中常见的,是跟读练习突破发音和对话交流的最佳利器。
经典片段:
we're from different worlds, yet we somehow fit together.
Love is what binds us, through fair or stormy weather. I stand before you now with only one agenda: to let you know my heart is yours.
我们来自不同的世界,但我们彼此相容 ,爱将我们紧紧相连,共度风风雨雨。我到你的前面,只有一事相许,我的心只属于你。
②爱情类:诗意的表达
《Love.Rosie》
爱你罗茜(英国)
英国电影《Love.Rosie》是典型的青梅竹马爱情故事,而两位主演的英伦口音也让这部影片更加唯美浪漫(其中有英美文化对比的片段,颇具讨论性)。
《The Notebook》
恋恋笔记本(美国)
《恋恋笔记本》则讲述了一个穷小子Noah和家境殷实的Allie的动人爱情故事,剧中的经典台词经常被演员们模仿。
爱情电影的看点在于一些语言的诗意化表达,如何用更富有感情的语言说出“我爱你”?
经典片段:
You deserve someone who loves you with every beat of his heart.
Someone who will always be there for you, and who will love every part of you, especially your flaws.
你应该找一个时时刻刻都爱你的人,一个永远陪着你的人,一个爱你全部的人,特别是你的缺点。
③政治类:逼格提升
《House of Cards》
纸牌屋(美国)
《纸牌屋》讲的是华盛顿高层中“权力运作”的故事,涉及到了许多正式的表达和发音,绝对可以提高英语逼格。
《Black Mirror》
黑镜(英国)
作为英国年度最佳剧,《黑镜》一定不会让你失望,每一集都是独立的故事,充满着英国的俚语与实用英文,喜欢英音的小伙伴不能错过哦~
当你已经不是入门级小白,政治类小片片就是你所需要的了,其中包含许多不很常见却十分正式的词汇,以及在不同场景的不同语态、语调等都十分值得学习。
经典片段:
What are we supposed to do in the face of so much senseless pain?
And he said to me, "what else can we do but take what seems meaningless and try to make something meaningful from it."
在这些无意义的痛苦面前,我们该怎么做?他告诉我:“除了从无意义的事情中,尽力去挖掘出一些有意义的东西,我们还能做什么呢?”
进阶第二步 下载真题,练吧
看过了有趣的电影电视剧,是骡子是马都是时候“拉出来溜溜”了。
”又折在口语上了“是众多考鸭的心头之痛,看来口语也是雅思考试的四个项目中最让大家犯愁的。其实雅思采用的人人对话口语模式高度模仿了真实生活的场景,并且口语话题实用性很强,内容很多都贴近生活,譬如家人、兴趣、歌手、书等等,所以只要用对了方法,提高自己的语言运用水平,高分就不再是梦了。
有些童鞋准备口语容易盲目,但咱这劲一定要往对的地方使,从官方给出的评分标准来看,语言的流利度和连贯性,词汇变换,句式丰富性和语法准确性,发音这四项是评分考虑的维度,我们也要从此入手,逐步对口语进行训练与提升。
流畅性与连贯性 ① 复述练习:重复练习相同的主题、不断丰富答案
Eg. Do you like watching movies?
简单回答:
Yes, I do.
丰富回答:
Certainly! I’m a big fan of action movies.
I like going to the movies with my friends during weekends. Normally we’d like to go to the cinema because it provides vivid and fantastic visual effects.
这样简单的练习,可以让我们的词汇量和语法都得到锻炼,还能帮提升语感,是”溜嘴皮子“的神器。
词汇量 ② 积累练习:更多地收集“改述”
Eg. Do you like watching movies?
可以用多种方式表达“like”
I’m keen on / fond of / crazy about / enthusiastic about…
I’m really into…
I’m a huge/great fan of…
…is my biggest passion in life.
通过积累不同的连接词和改述的方法,可以横向拓宽我们的词汇量,不死板又充满生活化。
语法运用范围与其正确性 ③ 语法练习:持续“大声阅读”
请问你说中文的时候会一直想着语法吗?No!歪果仁在说英文的时候也不会纠结于此,因为语法对于高端玩家来说都已经是”内功“了,使用正确的语法就像呼吸一样自然。而反复朗读就是内功心法,你读得越多,就越能使复杂而正确的语法内化,也更能精确地表达你的意思。
当然,我们不建议大家在口语上使用过于fancy的语法,一定以表意为目的,以准确为底线,遵循咱雅思“沟通为本”的准则,过于纠结形式反而得不偿失哦。
Eg. Do you think patience is important?
Patience is the ability to tolerate waiting, delay, or frustration without becoming agitated or upset.
耐心是一种让我们能够静下心来,平静的面对等待,延迟,及挫折的一种能力。
It enables us to control our emotions or impulses when faced with difficulties.
耐心让我们在面对困难的时候能够控制我们的情绪。
发音 ④ 发音练习:录音并听回放
当我们无法确认自己的发音是否正确,录音就可以帮忙。重复回放自己的录音时,很多平时注意不到的发音错误就会被放大,便于自己及时纠正。
虽然口语对咱们内敛的中国童鞋有难度,但想出国,口语能力既是敲门砖又是必备技能,能在以上四个维度达到比较高的标准,你的口语水平自然能助你搞定申请面试、国外生活如鱼得水,即便不以留学为目的,你也能通过雅思的口语训练收获一口流利的英语,为工作面试加分。
秘籍已经传授给你了,各位加油练习鸭!

雅思口语考试话题积累:
I think my first English teacher has greatly influenced me in my education. I had some trouble in studying English when I studied in middle school. I felt English was very difficult,so I did't like to study it .One day, my English teacher spoke to me about the study of foreign languages . He said :" You must do a lotof reading , listening and speaking . Never mind, keep on trying, I believe you are a good student." In the years that followed , I studied hard and made greater progress. My English teacher loved his job and he was knowledgeable in his field. I love and respect him.
1) compare the differences between education in ur city with them in 20 years ago?
In the past, many children can't go to school, and educational conditions were very poor. But now, government provide 9 years compulsory education. Each child who is 7 years old must go to school. And government provide much better facilities and staff. Also, schoolyards are beautiful than before.
2) compare the differences between university and middle school?
We study basic knowledge in the middle school. But the course of university is practical and special, such as computer and business courses.
3)compare the differences between students now and past .
At present , it is difficult for student to find job. So, their pressure is he avier than before.
雅思口语考试话题积累:person similar to you
Think of a person in your family that is the most similar to you.
Who is this person?
How is he/she similar to you?
雅思口语考试话题积累:
What kind of family is yours? Is it of a typical family structure in China?
My family is a typical family in China. There are grandparents, parents, a brother, my wife and I in my family.I look just like my father. Medium build ,pointed nose and dense black hair. My father is very kind and easy going. His love is the most selfless love. I am luck enough because I have a good father. My father has been specially thirsty for knowledge as he had only a few years of schooling himself. He believe that knowledge can change fate. So, my father offer more opportunity for me to study (no matter how poor my family was) To sum up, my family is harmony and our life is very happy.
1) What do you think are the differences between families in and past and today, and what have caused these changes?
In the past, there were several children in a family. But now, government has is sued "one--child policy" to limit the size of the family. So, there is only one child in a family. Couples will be punished financially if they have more than one child. This is "one -- child policy ".
2)What is your opinion of "one--child policy"?
I agree with one--child policy. Because it is difficult to provide enough food and education for a large number of people. So, government must control the population. Also, it is the best way that we can find to control population.
3)What has your government done to support families?
Such as Project Hope . It means that government supports the students in poor families to continue their schooling and improving their education conditions. In addition, our government establishs beadhouse to provide services for old people who have more difficulties or no families to take care of them.
