10月31日考试落下帷幕,在此笔者搜集了各地区口语考试真题并辅以简单分析供烤鸭参考。
真题回放Part 1:
第一部分还是如常规首先询问个人信息做confirmation,除了必考话题name, work & study, hometown, hobby & spare time, 本次还有一些高频话题: cooking, accommodation, reading, holidays and so on.
Eg: -Do you work or study? -What is your major? Do you like it? Why? Plan after graduation? - Talk about your family, live in house or flat? - How long have you been live there? - Talk about your own room? - Do you like reading books? - Do you read a lot? - What do you like more, reading books or watching TV? - Do you know of any books adapted for films?
烤鸭们需对于以上必考及高频话题予以充分准备。在近一两个月出现并将继续出现的高频话题补充如下,可作为备考重点:shopping, holiday, TV program, music (instrument), vegetable& fruit, transportation tool (drive), reading, swimming, ad on TV, writing,photography,neighborhood. 考生在备考时需逐一进行演练,整理搜集会发现题目几乎就集中在几个方面,万变不离其宗。随后就是对高频考题进行构思准备了,请口语能力一般的考生务必准备,不可忽略。只有提前准备才能在考试中少犯错。这部分建议大家每个问题提供3-5句切题的答案,好的答案包含不止一方面的信息:What, Who, When, Where, Why, How,这六个方面通常是我们构思一个好答案的切入口,从这些方面进行Brainstorming(头脑风暴)肯定不会无话可讲,适当扩充了答案,而且加入亲身经历会使答案与众不同吸引考官,答案一定不能千篇一律,准备的时候要注意个性化!请大家在第一部分充分准备提供够“雅思”的答案来给考官留下一个深刻的好印象。
真题回放Part 2:
People: A family member,A piece of good information from phone,An important conversation,An interesting speech
Object: An advertisement,An article from magazine,The old thing you keep from your family
Place: A historical site/building,A library,Your favourite part / An interesting place in your hometown
Event: A change/A big change in your future life,A trip that did not go as you planned,An interesting childhood event,Happiness thing in your childhood,Music/song/toy/activity in your childhood,Sports activity
Others: A course you would like to learn when you have time,A healthy habit,A meeting,A traffic jam,TV/ Radio programme
点评:这次part2的考题中,事件题比例较高,四大topic也都有所涉及,大家在备考中四大话题都应充分准备。Part2一直以来都是中国考生的薄弱环节,其主要原因是大部分学生平时缺乏针对性的描述训练,拿到这样的话题往往无所适从,或只言片语便无法继续下去,论述逻辑不清晰。下面我以本次题中的course为例讲解part 2的答题思路。
Talk about a course you would like to learn when you have time.
Step1: outline:1最感兴趣的课程是什么
2. 为什么对这门课程感兴趣
Step2: speaking
模板:T+S+C
* T: topic sentence. 一句话直接切入入主题。最简单topic sentence陈述方式是复述题目,如此题那么主题句即可为The course which I am eager to study when I have time is …… (French course)
* S: supporting ideas. 根据上述outline中的关键词依次扩展。但需注意的是supporting ideas中也有主次之分,考生们应把论述重点放在主观描述,即为什么想学这个课程,这个课程特别在哪或是对你的影响。这也是回答不熟悉话题时的一个技巧。建议给出两到三点支持理由,观点之间必有过渡词连接显示逻辑性,如:Firstly, the language I am interested in the most is French. I have never heard any other language that is as beautiful as french. Besides, my grandfather used to go to France and since then he became a big fan of French songs, when I was a small kid my grandfather always held me on his knee ,humming with the french songs, I would fall into sweet sleep.Sometimes he would tell me stroies and teach me some simple french words. Beause of my childhood memory, French becomes a mysterious symble for me. Another reason is that I want to learn French is that French is one of the most romantic countries in my viewpoint. Studyiny the language makes me feel that I am a part of the romantic country.
* C: conclusion. 简单总结,使论述更加完整。如 Therefore I consider French course as my favorite, as long as I have time, I’ll definitely try my best to learn it well.
* 总结:part2实际上就是一到两分钟的口头作文。所以论述框架必须十分清晰, 按TSC的模式展开,使论述更加严密完整才是高分的保证。 此外语言方面要避免书面化,使用过于复杂句式和生僻词汇只会暴露你提前准备过,官方严格规定背诵答案不满6分。充分进行准备,进行话题覆盖,练习话题套用。
Part 3部分实考回顾:
We had a conversation about a part of your hometown.
-The last time you went there?
-What is the facility in your hometown?
-Who do you think is important to your hometown?
-Why do people move to other towns?
虽然理论上该部分的问题由第二部分的描述内容派生而来,但这些问题灵活性大且有深度,考生需搜集近期考题逐个锻炼口语思维,积累常用examples and details,才能在实考时从容不迫。
