雅思考试主要是通过对考生听、说、读、写四个方面英语能力的考核,综合测评考生的英语沟通运用能力,实现“沟通为本”的考试理念。对于雅思考生来说,也有很多考试难点和政策盲区需要帮助解答。今天雅思无忧网小编准备了如何避开雅思口语考试八大雷区,希望通过文章来解决雅思考生这方面的疑难问题,敬请关注。
雅思口语考试一直是中国考生的弱项,有些考生在面对考官时往往口语“打结”,逻辑混乱,还有些考生明明觉得自己表述很清楚,却莫名其妙“被扣分”雅思口语考试八大雷区,希望雅思考生能够有所借鉴,合理“避雷”。
1、60%的考生,因"表情"被扣分(备注:本文所列百分比和其他评分数据,仅代表部分专家经验,并非官方统计数据)
在雅思口语评分标准的"发音"评分项中,有这样一个界定:"能够使用表情、肢体语言帮助自己被理解。"根据这个标准,如果你有下列问题,你会被扣分:
(1) 几乎不看考官,可能被扣0.2分。
(2) 虽然看着考官,但是表情和口语答案并不配套。
(3) 因为考官面无表情,你原先勉强保持的微笑逐渐僵硬,直至像考官一样面无表情,这样,你可能被扣0.05分。
为了不被扣分,建议各位考生这样做:
(1) 在备考阶段,一定要注意"表情和语言配套"!
(2) 在实际考试的时候,无论你紧张与否,无论考官是否面无表情,请你脸上保持微笑,哪怕很生硬。
2、70%的考生,因"舌头"被扣分
笔者最为纳闷的是:众多中国考生,明明知道"不伸舌头"会被扣分,为什么坚持"不伸舌头"?
如果考生找借口说:"我习惯不伸舌头啦",那考官会说:"向至少0.2分说再见吧!"
3、90%的考生,因"单字不重音"被扣分
遇到"单字重音",你必须把那些单词放慢、加重,原因很简单,在整个句子当中,只有这些单词,才是最重要的,其他单词,都要轻读。
在雅思的"发音"评分标准中,有这样一个界定:"考生会使用重读、弱读,使自己更容易被理解。"而我们多数中国考生,仅仅把重读理解为一个单词里的重音音节,而不能把重音理解为"一个句子中的重音单词",所以自然要被扣分了。
4、90%的考生,只使用"单"词,而不使用"词串"
不会使用"词串"的考生,得分一定会被扣0.5-1分。事实上,不会"词串"恰恰是中国考生的致命伤,它除了影响了词汇分,还影响了流利分和速度分。
5、99%的考生,只使用"一种语法",而不使用"多种语法"
多数中国考生,只使用单一的语法结构,即主谓宾结构,而很少使用多种语法,如被动语态、强调句、虚拟语态、疑问句、感叹句等,因为中国考生本性"含蓄害羞",最喜欢用平铺直叙的陈述句,而很少表情丰富地使用疑问句、感叹句、强调句等。我们只能说,只有稍微改变自己害羞的个性,才有可能操练起多种语法。
6、99%的考生,只使用"一层结构",而不使用"多层结构"
多层结构答题法对于中国考生并非易事,因为很多中国考生在应试教育的荼毒下,根本就没有形成自己的思维逻辑,遇到问题只能凭借脑子里仅有的一点知识,胡乱说两句。要想熟练掌握多层答题法,最好的方法应该是选择一个高质量的雅思培训机构,选择一位善于启发学生思维的口语老师,先被领入门,再慢慢自我修炼。其实,只要练就多层答题思维,几乎所有考生都可以得到6.5的分数。
7、99%的考生,因"不敢提问"被扣分
根据笔者给学生做模拟的经验,有超过50%的考生,在考试的时候会对某个或某几个问题不甚了解。在听不懂题目的时候,绝大同学采取的策略是:一猜二蒙!
当你猜测或蒙的时候,你在对考题的理解能力、表述自己观点的能力会严重丢分。如果你放松地、大胆地问考官,你压根不会被扣分。即便考官解释之后你要求他再次解释,你也仅仅可能因为"理解能力"而被扣个微乎其微的0.05分,而绝对不会因"听不懂"、"答跑题"收到双重重罚。
8、99%的考生,因"哑巴思维"被严重扣分
笔者在模拟面试中,最痛苦的地方,不是听到了中国考生的哑巴英语,而是直面"哑巴思维",这是中国学生雅思口语均分全球倒数第一的根本症结,其严重程度,远超刚才所讲的其他问题的总和。
以上就是雅思口语考试“被扣分” 八大“雷区”须提防,考生们可以从中借鉴,并结合自身的情况总结出有效的雅思考试备考方法,为拿到雅思考试高分打下良好的基础。
网友CinderellaMM:terrible change~~6 to 5!
Hi~~~John! I was a student of YJ308 class .during the period ,I took a imitate exam and my speaking score was 6 , so i joined IELTS exam in January,but i just took 5.
now, i don't have any confidence. can you help me ? give me some advice how can i improve my speaking? thanks~~
John:Sorry to hear that you got a lower score than you'd hoped for. It's possible that the examiner in your model interview gave you a higher score than your actual level, but it is NOT true, as the poster above suggested, that the model interview examiners always over-estimate your ability. Generally they give you a pretty good idea of your actual level. Some students certainly score below six!
As far as how you can improve your spoken English, the most important thing for you today is to make sure that you have a chance to practice speaking each and every day. Your speaking practice can take the form of practicing with a tutor, practicing with a Chinese partner, or imitating after a tape on your own, but YOU MUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SPEAK ENGLISH EVERY DAY. :) That's the very simple key.
I would suggest imitating after a tape for at least 20 minutes daily, and then try to seek out the opportunity to communicate with others in English at least once (and preferably twice!) a week.
Good luck!
John
网友Melina:I don't like shopping at all. If the examer give me a topic " describe a shopping place", can I ask him/her to change another one? Thank you!
John:It is not a good idea to ask the interviewer to change the subject. You can still talk about shopping even if you don't like it.
In fact, you could even mention your distaste for shopping in your answer by starting off your answer by saying something like, "Well, first of all, I hate shopping, but if I were forced to choose a place to shop I would choose..."
Jone:您好!我现在有个外教给我辅导雅思(在伦敦时候是老师在韩国教书两年雅思),那么他夏天走了以后我是不是有必要到新东方再上个口语班呀?帮助有多大呢?我高一。谢谢
John:I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you talking about signing up for an IELTS Speaking class or a general speaking class?
Actually, either one would probably be useful, though certainly not "necessary". If you feel fairly confident about the test, you might be fine just continuing to prepare on your own. If you feel you'd like to have a better understanding of the IELTS Speaking Exam, or would like to have a chance to have some guided practice based around the topics on the IELTS Exam, then a class might be useful for you.
