新托?？谡Z評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的一個非常重要的因素就是“連貫性”，“連貫性”指的是口語答案中信息點(diǎn)之間的銜接是否自然流暢。以下我們?yōu)榇蠹覅R總了可以幫助考生增強(qiáng)口語回答連貫性的六條指導(dǎo)原則：
1. 運(yùn)用總分總的結(jié)構(gòu)
Your listeners will understand your talk better if you organize what you say in a logical sequence or linear pattern. This means that you tell the listeners what you are going to talk about and then go through the points you want to make. The most common pattern of organization is outlined below:
|
Introductory statement Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 Concluding statement |
An example of this pattern is shown below:
Breeding butterflies has many advantages for the collector.
1. way of obtaining specimens
2. spares can be released into the wild
3. helps survival because butterflies have been protected from natural predators
The experience is a learning experience for the collector and a benefit to the species.
2. 運(yùn)用連接詞
Connecting ideas by using transition words and phrases tells your listeners the relationship of one idea to the next. You can signal to your listener that you are going to put events in a sequence, add information, or make a comparison. You can signal that you want to emphasize or clarify a point. Using transition words and phrases helps your listener follow the flow of your ideas. Read the following example without transitional expressions:
In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. I understood those principles better by doing those experiments.
These sentences would flow better if the speaker used transitional expressions as in the following example:
In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. As a result, I understood those principles better.
