2013雅思考試:考官的口語秘籍(2)

字號:


    2. Do it first in your own language 先用母語說
    This is perhaps an unusual piece of advice. In the speaking, you should aim to be thinking and speaking in English as much as possible and not translating from your language to English. It can, however, sometimes help to practise the long turn part 2 in your own language first:
    一般來說,最好是能用英語思維思考,并用英語回答。但是像Part2這種比較長的題目, 先用母語說可能會(huì)好一點(diǎn)。
    some people struggle to speak in their own language for 2 minutes: they prefer short/concise answers and not longer more discussion type answers. So before you try it in English, make sure you can do it in your first language.
    有的人就算用自己的語言說,也會(huì)很困難,他們會(huì)說一些短句子,而不是討論型的長句子,所以,在你用英語表達(dá)之前,先讓你自己用母語能夠說清楚。
    It helps you understand how long 2 minutes is and how much you need to say to fill that time.
    這會(huì)幫你了解2分鐘有多長,能說多少東西
    if you record and listen to yourself in your first language, you will probably find yourself using quite a lot of “structure” language such as “As I mentioned before”. This is a lot of the language you need for part 2.
    如果用母語錄音然后聽,你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己用了很多結(jié)構(gòu)性語句,比如“像我之前說到的”,這就是在第二部分你需要用到的!
    3. Don’t practise the whole part 2, do it bit by bit 不要一口吃成胖子,練習(xí)第二部分,慢慢來
    Some people find part 2 frightening because they are worried they can’t speak for 2 minutes. Relax. You don’t have to. It’s much easier than that, you need to speak for不要擔(dān)心2分鐘很長,其實(shí)你要說的不過是:20秒+20秒+20秒+1分鐘!
    20 seconds
    20 seconds
    20 seconds
    I minute
    This is because there are always 4 points for you to talk about on the cue card. You want to try practising talking about the first 3 points on the cue card for about 20 seconds each (the who, where, what type questions). Make sure you don’t say “last year”, but you extend that a little . Then all you need to do is talk for 1 minute on the longer question at the end that is almost always about explaining something.
    這是因?yàn)樵陬}目卡上總是會(huì)有4個(gè)要點(diǎn),你可以先練習(xí)前三點(diǎn)分別說20秒,不要太簡略,稍微擴(kuò)展一點(diǎn)。然后用最后一分鐘來解釋。
