加拿大留學(xué)語(yǔ)言考試雅思口語(yǔ)如何提升連貫性流利度

加拿大留學(xué)語(yǔ)言考試雅思口語(yǔ)考試有四項(xiàng)評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：fluency&coherence（流利度和連貫性）、pronunciation（發(fā)音）、lexical resource（詞匯資源）、grammatical range&accuracy（語(yǔ)法多樣性和精確性），Eric一直強(qiáng)調(diào)fluency&coherence是最最重要的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，原因很簡(jiǎn)單：如果你不能一直持續(xù)的說(shuō)下去，你根本沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)表現(xiàn)其它三條評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

當(dāng)然，fluency&coherence遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不止”一直持續(xù)的說(shuō)下去“這么簡(jiǎn)單，它還涉及到很多其他方面的因素，從本期開(kāi)始，Eric選用（不限于）考官的文章，來(lái)和大家探討fluency&coherence的本質(zhì)、以及如何提升fluency&coherence。

Chinese candidates have a strong tendency to use Trash Phrases.Trash phrases are phrases that every candidate uses because they are easy to memorise and they mistakenly believe that they will impress the examiner.Some of these are translated from Chinese,and others are just plainly ridiculous.Candidates often come into the examination thinking that what they have memorized is highly original,and that they are going to shine in the examiner's eyes.加拿大雅思

中國(guó)學(xué)生愛(ài)用一些“垃圾短語(yǔ)”。所謂“垃圾短語(yǔ)”就是已經(jīng)被別人用得爛大街了的短語(yǔ)，考生誤以為這些短語(yǔ)會(huì)打動(dòng)考官。而這些短語(yǔ)其中一些是從漢語(yǔ)直接翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的，另一些甚至是荒唐可笑的?？忌€以為這些短語(yǔ)都是很地道的表達(dá)，可以在考官面前“酷炫"一把。

What they cannot understand is why as soon as they say:with the development of society,the examiner yawns or rolls up his eyes.In this section,we're going to examine some of the most common trash phrases,and then look at why they are just not going to score you any points.

例如他們剛開(kāi)始說(shuō)“with the development of society”，考官便開(kāi)始打哈欠或者翻白眼了。接下來(lái)我就一起來(lái)看看那些最常見(jiàn)的“垃圾短語(yǔ)”，并且分析為什么這些短語(yǔ)沒(méi)法讓你最高分。

With the development of society/technology

Frankly speaking

Actually

Of course

Different people have different opinions

As mentioned in the last section,one of the problems that most candidates encounter is that they are unable to organise their ideas logically.One way in which you can improve how coherent and logical your speech sounds is to use linking words.Using the correct linking words can make your argument sound much more forceful,and these are really going to help improve your score!Before we look at some good linking words,lets take a look at some typical examples from the exam.

在上一個(gè)部分中我們提到過(guò),許多考生都有的一個(gè)問(wèn)題就是他們?nèi)狈τ羞壿嬓缘乇磉_(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)的能力。那么一個(gè)提高你表述的邏輯性和連貫性的好方法就是使用邏輯連接詞。合適的邏輯連接詞能讓你的論點(diǎn)更有說(shuō)服力,這是你的提分法寶!在學(xué)習(xí)好的邏輯連接詞之前,我們先看幾個(gè)典型的雅思口語(yǔ)考試答案。

What do think the government could do to encourage people to use public transport more?

When it comes to the question of what the government can do to encourage people to use public transport more,firstly,I think that the government should make more space for buses on the road.Secondly,they should reduce the price of the tickets so that everyone can afford to travel.Next,the government should limit the number of driving licenses that it gives out each year.Finally,people will start to travel more by bus and subway.

Taking a look at the answer we can see that the candidate has structured the suggestions like a list.We can see the following sequencing words:

加拿大留學(xué)語(yǔ)言考試雅思口語(yǔ)如何提升連貫性流利度

在這個(gè)答案中我們可以看到，考生把所有的建議以清單的方式給出，他用到了以下表達(dá)順序的詞:

Firstly

Secondly

Next

Finally

The logic of the sequence is not actually too bad,the suggestions are a little simple,but they make sense and there is a certain kind of logic behind the argument.This structuring will push the candidate to a maximum score of 6.The problem,however,is that the way the list is presented sounds like a little girl telling her daddy what she want to do for her birthday:

這個(gè)答案的邏輯性差強(qiáng)人意，建議內(nèi)容也很簡(jiǎn)單，但表達(dá)了意義，論點(diǎn)背后有一定的邏輯性。這種結(jié)構(gòu)會(huì)使考生最高拿到6分。但這個(gè)清單似的答案聽(tīng)起來(lái)就像小女孩兒在告訴父親自己想要的生日禮物清單：

Firstly,I want to go to the zoo.Secondly,I want buy a new dress.Next,I want to eat ice cream.Finally,I want to see a movie.

The problem lies in the fact that this language does not sound mature,and shows very little flexibility in ordering events.Furthermore,even though the candidate gives four pretty good suggestions,those suggestions are not examined deeply enough.Let's take another look at the question and see if we can throw in some more mature sophisticated sequences and develop the argument a bit more.Take a look at this level 9 answer below.

那么問(wèn)題就在于這樣的語(yǔ)言聽(tīng)起來(lái)不夠成熟，表述沒(méi)有變化和多樣性。所以雖然考生給出的四個(gè)建議都很棒，考官卻不會(huì)深度去剖析。我們?cè)倏匆豢催@個(gè)問(wèn)題，想想能否用更高端的連接詞來(lái)改善論證的力度?？纯聪旅孢@個(gè)9分答案吧:

What do you think the government could do to encourage people to use public transport more?

In order for the government to encourage more people to use public transport like buses or subway trains,it must do two things:provide faster cheaper public people who already use it;and also focus on getting drivers to change their travel habits.

The first goal could be achieved by widening bus lanes so that buses can travel faster and also by increasing the regularity of subway trains.Drivers could be encouraged to use their cars less by increasing road tax or offering tax incentives to leave their cars at home.

Looking at this answer we can see that the candidate has thrown out all of the baby sequencing words,and used sentences to set up the structure.The question is set up by presenting the desired result first:

這個(gè)答案中，考生摒棄了所有低幼的序數(shù)詞，選擇用句子來(lái)銜接和搭建整個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)?？忌紫乳_(kāi)門見(jiàn)山地陳述題目中預(yù)期要達(dá)到的目的:

In order for the government to encourage more people to use public transport like buses or subway trains,it must do two things...

After listing these things it goes on to mention now this could be achieved:

隨后開(kāi)始陳述這個(gè)目的如何能夠達(dá)到:The first goal could be achieved by...

This is a very sophisticated use of sequencing and indicates to the examiner that you are not a low or mid-level candidate,but rather a high-flier 7,8,or 9.By not only introducing high-level linking words and phrases into your answers,but also giving more thought to the order and logic of what you want to say,you will push up your score a great deal.

這是一種非常老道的順序敘述方式。這種順序敘述方式向考官傳遞了這樣一種信息:你不是一個(gè)低等或中等水平的考生,而是一個(gè)7分、8分甚至9分的高分考生。通過(guò)使用高級(jí)的連詞和短語(yǔ),同時(shí)精心安排話語(yǔ)的邏輯順序,將能使你的得分上一個(gè)臺(tái)階。
