雅思口语 season 范文 雅思考试口语不好,怎么练习提高英语口语

下面合肥学校为大家整理的论英语说明文中的论述逻辑，供考生们参考，以下是详细内容。

无论是对于考雅思还是托福的学生来说，口语答题时的逻辑永远是他们难以摆脱的伤痛。但是答题的逻辑性又是这两种考试最主要的评分标准，所以非常有必要在这里跟同学们来讲解一下如何实现我们在这两种考试中口语答题时的逻辑性。
对于我们很多学生在平时的学习中没有经过这种逻辑思维的培训，以及受到中文思维的影响，导致在回答口语问题的时候内容比较混乱，说了半天不知道在讲什么。
其实口语跟写作在某些方面是想通的，特别是在答题的逻辑方面， 写作中用到的论述逻辑完全可以用在我们口语当中。
我们在口语答题时可以用一下几种方法来拓展答案：
1. 例证法
2. 定义法
3. 分类法
4. 因果关系法
5. 比较对照法
6. 过程分析法
这些方法在很多雅思口语话题中都是被广泛使用的。
例证法
在回答雅思和托福口语话题时可以广泛使用例证法，内容不够，例子凑。我们可以通过举例子的方法把复杂问题简单化，简单问题细节化。 例证法是我们首推的答案拓展方法。特别是在回答雅思口语part three 部分的问题时，因为第三部分的问题都是比较general的问题而且很多问题是同学们不太了解的内容，那么这个时候就可以通过举例子的方法把复杂问题简单化， 广泛问题具体化。
下面这道题目就使用了例证法把广泛问题具体化。
How has shopping in China changed in the past few decades？
在过去的几年里，购物发生了怎样的变化？
这个话题乍看起来很general，不知道从哪里下嘴。其实我们完全可以把问掘碰题具体话，从自身出发，以自己的亲身经历为例子来回答问题。
I'桥散皮d have to say that it has changed dramatically. When i was a child there were much fewer shops， all of which were state-owned and served very limited merchandise. Except basic daily necessities， you could hardly find any luxuries.
定义法
对于雅思口语第二部分的话题可以使用定义法，比如在描述人物题的时候：
Describe a teacher you admire the most 描述一位你最尊敬的老师
既然我们尊敬一位老师，那么这位老师就应该具备一些值得我们尊敬的特点或者我们觉得一位好老师应该具备的素质。那么我们就可以用定义法来描述这位老师：
I think a good teacher should be knowledgeable， especially in the field he teaches.
Besides， he should know how to communicate with the students and understand their demands.
A good teacher should be capable of attracting the students'attention and inspiring their interests.
这道题目就是用定义法来描述一位自己认为是好老师的范文。 通过下定义的描述，这样一位有血有肉的好老师就活生生地展现在敏差我们面前了。
分类法
对于一些问题我们不能泛泛而谈，需要进行更细致的分类，别是当问题中出现people 这样的字眼的时候需要把人群进行一个分类，比如下面这道题目：
Is music popular in your country？
I think it depends on what kind of music you are talking about. Most people in China listen to music every day. As a rule， the younger generation usually listens to pop， rock or hip-pop music， whereas older people tend to listen to older Chinese songs or folk music. I think many wealthy people listen to classical music， sometimes going to live concerts.
题目是问音乐在中国流行吗？英美人在谈论这类话题的时候会把人群进行一个分类的。因为一个国家是由不同类型的人，不同年龄段的人构成的，这些不同类型和年龄段的人有不同的兴趣爱好，所以不能简单地说音乐在我们国家流行或者是不流行。这两种回答都是不确切的。所以在这里把人群进行一个比较细致的分类，年轻人，老年人和有钱人对于音乐的不同态度，这样的答案是很全面的。
因果关系法
这也是一种仅次于例证法的拓展答案的方法，因为对于很多雅思口语问题我们都可以通过解释原因的方法来回答问题。
例如雅思口语part one 当中的一道题目：
What is your favorite season？你最喜欢的季节？
首先回答考官的问题：of the four seasons， i like spring the best.
然后解释为什么最喜欢春天： I prefer spring because it is season of joy and gaiety. New life bursts out everywhere. Plants wear a green coat again and colorful flowers blossom in gardens and mountains. The old come outdoors and for fresh air and the young plan for outdoor activities. Life becomes so energetic and happy.
第一段为本段主题句，末句是总结句。 考生在首先直接回答问题之后进行了解释为什么最喜欢春天。讲到了春天能够看到的景象：花花草草，人们出去做运动，一切都变得生机盎然，这样的回答是很充分的，也是拿高分的。 通过解释原因的方法来拓展答案是非常有效和常用的一种方法。
再来看一道雅思口语part one中关于音乐的问题：
Do you like listening to music？ 你喜欢听音乐吗？
Yes， i am a big fan of listening to music because i always feel relaxed when i am listening to some classical music. Besides， listening to music helps me to fall asleep more quickly.
这道题目也是通过给原因的方法来进行拓展的。 给出两个原因来解释自己为什么喜欢听音乐。
比较对照法
How do you get the latest news？
题目问的是怎样获得最新消息的？首先回答自己获得信息最主要的方式是什么，然后再跟其他非主流方式进行对比， 比如看报，听广播。 这样的答案内容全面，
Most of the time i prefer to obtain the latest news from the internet because the internet is very informative. But sometimes， I get the latest news by reading newspapers even though information from newspapers is limited， it is more reliable compared with that from the Internet. Occasionally i listen to the radio when i am at school without access to the Internet. And i think listening to the radio is very convenient and stimulating.
通过对比的方式展开内容首先解决了没话说，或是说不多的问题，其次就是在这种对比之中更加有逻辑地组织了自己的想法，这样的答案是很有说服力和吸引力的。
过程分析法：
雅思口语part two 中的一道真题：describe something you made your self
在这里烤鸭们可以描述一次自己做风筝的经历
I decided on its shape first. You know， i just chose a flat one coz obviously the basic form and could be easily carried around. Then i got a sheet of colored paper and cut out the shape. My cousin found some thin plastic stripes for me. I tired them together with a string， which， apparently， would be the frame of the kite. After that， we made the bridle， which connected the frame to the control line. Finally， i glued the paper to the frame.
这个答案就用了过程分析法，通过使用以下的逻辑连接词来描述*风筝的步骤： firstly， then， after that， finally. 整个内容层次清晰，连接词的使用加强了语气的连贯性。

洛阳大华雅思为您解答，这是我们的一个学员的学员日记 可以参考，建议找个培训机构进行专项学习，提高会快很多

1.选对的材料大量地泛听
不夸张的说，这是唯一一种你可以在中国本土可以使用的低成本的创造语言环境的方法。虽然这只是一个被动的听的过程，但是它可以潜移默化的增加你的词汇量，改善你的发音，最重要的是培养你用另外一种语言思考的习惯，最棒的是这一切都不是你刻意追求的，而是在你的潜意识状态下发生的（现代神经医学已经多次证明人类在潜意识状态下学习效率反而更高）。

这个方法还有一个好处，如果你选的泛听材料是你感兴趣的话题的话，你会比较容易坚持。我经常喜欢把学习英语和减肥健身做对比，这两个都是需要长期坚持的慢功夫活儿，所以任何人告诉你可以一周提高英语口语或者减肥20斤不反弹都是耍流氓。减肥最重要的是需要有一个合理的饮食计划，如果你的饮食计划里面的东西都是你不爱吃的，那你肯定很难坚持下去。同样的，如果让你泛听的英语材料都是你不感兴趣的话题，你能坚持下去吗？

那么是不是所有的题材都适合做泛听呢，网上很多人推荐看美剧，听VOA，BBC，一开始我也是从听VOA看老友记开始的，但是那时候资源远没有现在这么丰富。我的建议是，从non-scripted的材料开始听起, 何为non-scripted材料？就是那种不是事先写好剧本的，各种脱口秀，真人秀都可以划入这一范畴，我个人比较推荐The Apprentice系列，如果你比较喜欢英音的可以看The Apprentice UK。另外一个值得推荐的系列是Survivor（幸存者），这部剧目前已经开播15个年头，共30个season，*水平精良，本身够精彩，而且参与者来自各行各业，操着各种口音，是一个非常好的泛听材料。(关于真人秀我在另外一篇文章里有更为详细的阐述，可以点此阅读）。

作为进阶，口语水平已经比较好的朋友可以尝试看各镇橡大network的脱口秀，我本人是从大二开始就养成看Conan O’Brien的习惯，大二到大四三年一集不差地看了3年，后来大学毕业也偶尔会看，美国的脱口秀一般40分钟到一个小时，开始一般是主持人结合时事讲搞笑的段子，之后会有一到两个短小品，然后是名人访谈环节，一般是最近推出新作品的演员上来推荐自己的新作，最后会有乐队或者歌手上来现场表演。所以基本上一集里面你可以体会到Monolog（独白），Dialog（对话）和Music（音乐）三种不同形式的语言表达。我个人认为是非常好的泛听进阶材料。

然后最高阶材料是Standup Comedy，有点类似于咱们中国的说学逗唱，但是一般是单口的，网上有大量的Standup Comedy可以下载，我个人比较喜欢Chris Rock和Jimmy Carr，此外Comedy Central的Roast系列也非常棒。对于没有时间或者条件看视频的朋友，可以选择听Podcast，安卓平台推荐使用Pocket Cast，iOS推荐使用Overcast，都是免费的。Podcast涵盖各种话题，可以根据自己的兴趣爱好订阅一到两个坚持听。我个人比较推荐WNYC出品的Freakonomics Radio和NPR出品的一些节目。

2.自己跟自己说话
这个方法非常适合自己一个人走路或者没事儿干的时候自己跟自己跟自己练口语，上面我们提到的泛听是一个被动的输入过程，而自己跟自己说话就是一个主动地输出过程了，这个方法有三点好处：第一，我们中国人学英语的最大一个障碍之一就是不好意思说，怕说错了别人笑话，这个方法因为是自己跟自己说，所以不存在这个问题；第二，自己跟自己说话可以随便选话册虚题，选自己最感兴趣的话题，不受限制；第三，不受时间地点限制，你甚至不需要出声，在脑子里面说都可以，而且是免费的。举个例子，你在从宿舍到教室的路上一个人走，选好一个话题，比如想谈谈目前比较火的“中国股市”，那就可以开始说了，说任何相关的事情都可以，如果不幸说多了跑题了那也没关系，因为你的目的已经达到了。

3.选择一款APP辅助背单词
词汇量的重要性我就不在这里熬述了，用软件辅助背单词的最大州旅燃好处就是便于复习管理。我从初中开始就开始用软件辅助背单词了，当时唯一一款能用的软件叫做“轻轻松松背单词”，现在市面上可以用的背单词软件数不胜数，当然质量也参差不齐，比较有名的软件有百词斩，扇贝，拓词等, 选一款自己用着顺手的app，选一本适合自己单词书，制定一个可执行的单词复习量，开始背吧！最好能找一个小伙伴一起背，互相监督，如果有任何一天不能完成任务可以设定小的惩罚机制，督促自己从头到尾不间断地背完一本词书，复习最好采用英文释义而不是中文释义，并且要参考英文例句，因为很多中文释义不但不准确，而且会产生误导，这样的后果就是很容易说出Chinglish来。

4.写议论文来锻炼CRITICAL THINKING的能力
有同学问了，我们这不是在说学口语吗？其实练习写作是磨刀不误砍柴工的。我的英语从初中开始一直不错，但是口语水平直到大二才能真正算得上是流利，分界线就是大二暑假时候复习GRE的时候写了40篇GRE Analytical Writing。我个人认为只有你能用英文思考问题，你的英语才能够达到流利的水平，不流利的原因是因为你还在用中文思考，思考过后再在脑中翻译成英文的说出来，这样你大脑CPU不够用，肯定会卡。当然了，不建议刚上来就拿GRE的AW来练习，雅思写作的题库话题其实就很有深度了，而且网上的范文资源很丰富，可以自己从剑桥真题中每周挑那么一两篇出来练习写一下，相信最后你会达到写作和口语一石二鸟的效果。

雅思口语备考贴士
关于雅思的备考和实战的建议：上面提到我第一次考雅思口语是7分，第二次考口语是8.5，为什么差别会这么大，我想最主要的原因是第一次是完*考，而第二次我认真的备考了，雅思口语的题库很大，再牛的人如果不备考，考场上遇到自己不熟悉的话题都会出现无话可说的情况，这样就很容易出问题。所以我想在最后这部分分享一些关于备考的建议：

书籍方面首先必须要推荐当然是剑桥大学考试委员会出品的剑桥雅思官方真题集，熟悉考试动向，自我模拟练习都需要用到它，目前最新版的是目前最新版的是《剑桥雅思11》（购*链接：亚马逊 | 京东）。口语专项书籍方面我参考的是小姨的《10天突破雅思口语》（点此购*）这本书内容比较细，各种素材，话题总结得比较到位，建议当做泛读的入门材料以及一本素材工具书。

现在比较流行上网课，我尝试听了一些，觉得黄瀚生Frank的口语网课还是可以听一下的，因为他本身是Native Speaker，加上又是前考官，对于答题方法和方式的掌控比较到位，不像某些2B中国老师给你整大段的东西让你死记硬背。网课可以去 报名上，一期好像是600-700块左右，不舍得花钱的同学可以上某宝上*录播的课（10-30块钱左右），这些网课每个月都会新开一期，美其名曰预测班，其实每一期内容都大同小异，最重要的是里面提供的学习方法。

iOS上面有款App叫做IELTSpeaking －雅思口语考试真是场景模拟(下载链接），这个软件是免费的，带5个免费的话题卡，软件里面会设置一个虚拟的考官，你选好一个话题卡，这个虚拟考官就会像真实考试一样问你相关的问题，从Part1到Part2最后Part3，你的答案会被录下来供你后面重新回放，这个app的好处是可以帮从没考过的朋友熟悉考试的流程，如果你觉得5个话题卡不够用也可以花钱内购600个答题卡，这样选择的余地就大很多了。

季节和天气一直是雅思口语的陪雀雀传统话题。在第一部分几乎是每次必考，虽然这类卡片在第二部分的出现率不是非常高，但也会不时突袭。从另一个角度来说，季节和天气的谈论可以贯穿到很多考题之中去论述。比如应对关于体育运动的卡片时，我们也可以略带描述一下做该运动的适宜天气。

在季节类的考题中，经常会涉及到的问题有：
◆ What is your favorite season?
◆ What is special about this season?
◆ What do people usually do in this season?
◆ Why do you like this season?
而有些考题是以某种天气为考点的，其中比较多见的就是要求描述一种险恶天气：
◆ What is the worst weather you have experienced?
◆ When did you experience it?
◆ What did you see?
◆ How did you feel under the worst condition?
一般来说，谈论季节和天气可以从气候特征、植物动物、人们所从事的活动和我的心理状态等多方面着手。下面，我们就跟着沙莎老师的思路，一起先来看一张关于季节的卡片：
Describe a Season
Describe your favorite season。
You should say:
What your favorite season is。
What is special about it。
What people usually do in this season。
And explain why you like this season。
{真题回放}
{原创范例} My favorite season is summer. I can’t wait till it starts. Yes, it sometimes gets very hot and sultry. But I don’t care. At least I don’t have to fight with bulky overcoats or down coats。
这篇的开头以非常简洁的方式引出主题，是较为传统的方式。在论述的过程中用了欲扬先抑的手法，先提了一下夏天令人不快的地方，但是注意只能一两句带过，千万不能论述太多而导致偏题。其次，也用了对比反衬的策略，提到冬天的不便之处。以论述对冬天的厌恶来反衬对夏天的热爱。其实也就是将夏天和冬天做了一个对比。
{原创范例} Summer means life, blue skies, gentle breeze, white beaches, and green trees. I love the warmth, the plenty of sunshine it brings and the way people look in tan. In summer, girls wear cute skirts and lovely sunbonnets. All the beautiful colors go around in this season. And you can feel the longing to go outdoors and experience an adventure。
这段也是以非常芦早通俗的语言以细化的方式描述了夏天的气候特征、景物、人们的穿着打扮等。在考场里一定要拓宽自己的思路，千万不能一说到季岁升节就局限于气候特征上，要学会从多方面着手，这就要求大家在入考场前做好思路的整理。

{原创范例} It is the ice cream season and it is the season of a variety of fruit, such as peaches, strawberries and watermelons. I love those after going swimming or hiking。
这段讨论的是比较传统的相关季节卡片的内容。描述了水果和冰激凌。当说到这个季节盛产的东西的时候我们也可以学习上段所用到的词组the season of来引出。

{原创范例} plus, it is also a time of great relaxation. You’ll always marvel at how much fun and entertainment can be squeezed into summer. There are summer vacations, swimming, surfing, picnics, fishing and boating. There is always something going on and there are always people enjoying nature. I love summertime because it is linked to most of my best memories and it never fails to trigger my passion in life。

最后这一段描述了人们的夏季活动，最后一句总结了喜爱这个季节的原因。其中，squeeze这个词用的非常生动，原意为“压入、塞入”，在这里非常形象的说明夏日给我们带来了无尽的快乐。trigger表示“触发、扣动扳机”，在这里表示“触发热情”。
