在雅思口语考试中,考官的问题常常是很笼统、概括性很强的。因此,很多考生在回答问题时,喜欢说些空洞乏味的大话而没有提供具体而生动的细节信息。殊不知,这些笼统和宽泛的回答很难得到高分。这时,考生应采取的策略是“大事化小”,也就是考官的问题可以空洞,而考生的回答却必须具体。在遵循“形而下”总原则的前提下,考生必须提供具体的细节,做到言之有物。
朗阁海外考试研究中心在此,从“比较对比”这一角度出发,节选雅思口语考试真题为例,探索合理的应对方法,以供考生参考。
Part 1典型案例:
【真题实例】:
Q: Are your weekday and weekend routines different?
【模拟考场】:
A1: Yes, they are … quite different…
A2: Yes, on weekdays I’m busy with writing office reports, arranging activities, but whenever weekends come I just forget everything about job and have a good time with my family. I believe this is a sensible way of life, and we ought to keep a balance between career and family.
【专家点评】
Answer 1是考生碰到不太有话说的问题时的回答。相对而言,之所以Answer 2要更具体,内容会更丰富,就是本着“形而下”的原则,对“routine”在工作日和周末的安排进行了比较对照(工作日忙于工作,周末与家人共享天伦之乐),既展开了细节,又充分回答了问题。
【温馨提醒】
千万别忘了使用表示比较逻辑联系语来突出异同。如果不是正常的五天工作制,那就应该补充说明。
以下为典型的“比较对照”表达句型,可供考生参考:
The upside of … is that… , but on the downside, …
The good thing about … is that …
The bad thing about … is that …
While it may be nice to … I think it is also quite …
The difference between … is that … is more … while … is more…
While … is perhaps more …, … is more…
The main difference between the ways… and the way… is in the …

Part 2典型案例:
【真题实例】:
Q:
Compare the city life as opposed to country life
You should mention:
the convenience of the city
attractions of the country
disadvantages of both
and discuss which lifestyle you prefer and why.
【温馨提醒】:
碰到此类“比较利弊型”(comparing advantages and disadvantages)考题,考生一定要从多方面提供拓展信息,并用适当的语言信号标志语把“两者利弊”有条理地组合在自己的话语中。朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生可以利用准备的1分钟,通过“头脑风暴法”在头脑中检索出话题相关的词汇。例如就本题而言,考生可以在准备期间用草稿纸记录下头脑中所呈现的词汇。记录时要快速,字体不工整或词汇排列凌乱都没关系,总之你是在努力检索相关的词汇就行了。你可能检索到如下词汇:
Advantages of city life and country life:
City life: exciting; attractive to young people; offering the best schools,hospitals and stores;offering a variety of sports facilities and other leisure activities;many chances of employment; efficient public transportation system
Country life: close to nature; breathing fresh air; enjoying the songs of birds; people in countryside are more friendly/honest/frank with each other; they are more hospitable; a good living environment
Disadvantages of city life and country life:
City life: unhealthy; pollution (e.g. water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution); no natural space for children; far away from nature; noisy; full of pressures; more crimes; overcrowded and expensive living; rush hours and traffic jams
Country life: boring; no exciting event; inefficient transportation; delayed news; isolated from metropolitan city; little opportunity to make a lot of money or to find a job; no entertainment; no good medical service; lack of modern life facilities;lack of good education
【模拟考场】:
A: In modern societies, most people are in favor of living in big cities because of a better environment to live in. Undoubtedly, a big city has many social, educational and cultural facilities —— pubilc libraries, universities and colleges, museums, art galleries, clubs, etc. It also has a wide variety of big stores, restaurants, theatres and other forms of entertainment.(先介绍城市生活的优点:环境好,设施好,又有很多娱乐场所。)
When it comes to the country, you can find its attraction too. You can be very close to nature. The air is fresh and the sun shines
