干货！这两个雅思口语技巧一定要掌握

一提起雅思口语，不少“考鸭”就犯怵。短短十几分钟，在不少人眼里却“度秒如年”，掌握这两个雅思口语技巧，考场上不再支支吾吾，来本文和新东方在线雅思来看看详细信息吧。

01丰富的细节

不少考生常常用一句话，甚至几个字就把考官给“打发”了。

例如：Do you prefer eating at home or eating out?

如果回答：I prefer to eat at home.

就算考官想给你高分都给不了。雅思考查的是语言水平，这样的回答实在体现不出很高的语言运用能力。能力要怎样体现呢？细节描述是一个很有效的方式。

上面的问题可以这样回答：

My preference would be eating at home because I feel that eating at home is money-saving and there’s an insurance for the food quality; whereas when I eating out it offers more choices and it’s hassle-free, but speaking from a frugal perspective, I think eating out is costly.

开头表明立场（My preference would be eating at home），之后给出两个原因（money-saving 和 insurance for the food quality）。接着运用比较，指出对立观点的优势（more choices 和 hassle-free）以及劣势（costly）。有了细节，就有了展示语言能力的机会。

同样，不少“考鸭”表示 Part 2 难度最大，答题卡上的问题都答完了，时间还没过一分钟，剩下的一分钟只能硬着头皮把刚才说过的话换种方式再说一遍。其实只要加上细节，这些问题就能迎刃而解

例如，描述某次转校或者搬家的经历。如果没有细节，如新旧环境的比较以及个人的感受，这两分钟会很难挨。下面一段素材没有所谓的大词，没有复杂的句型，但丰富的细节值得参考，大家随意感受一下。

I remember moving to a new home when I was in primary school. It wasn’t a smooth transition at all. We moved from one side of town to the other side of town. The living environment improved a lot and our home was a lot bigger, but it felt different. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t have anyone to play with. All the neighbours didn’t feel very close to each other and it felt very cold. Living in the new place felt like a new life for me. I took me about half a year to get into the new tempo and feel cozy. I forced myself to be proactive and started to meet new friends. After developing a new social circle, I felt a lot better and I started to have a better peace of mind. This was a big thing for me in my childhood and it made me into an adaptable person.

开头回答了时间和地点并概括了搬家的感受（wasn’t a smooth transition），接下来描述各种细节，说明为什么有这样的感受。描述主要通过对比，除了比较物理环境（The living environment improved a lot and our home was a lot bigger），更比较了邻里关系并表达了自己的感受（…, but it felt different. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t have anyone to play with. All the neighbours didn’t feel very close to each other and it felt very cold.）。之后描述自己如何改变现状（I took me about half a year to get into the new tempo and feel cozy. I forced myself to be proactive and started to meet new friends. After developing a new social circle, I felt a lot better and I started to have a better peace of mind.）以及此次经历对自己的影响（This was a big thing for me in my childhood and it made me into an adaptable person.）。

02地道的表达

有了丰富的细节还不够，表达不地道就不能算有较高的语言运用能力。地道的表达可以体现在很多方面，这里主要从英语词汇方面入手。下面几个 tip 简单却很有效，诸君且看且珍惜。

01转折用 though 替换 but

当你想说 but 来转折语气，不妨试着在句子后面加个 though，例如：

Our team lost. It was a good game, though.

Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bit different, though.

02多用副词

副词在口语中应用额很广泛。如 exactly, basically, really 之类表示程度的副词可以使表达更准确。例如：

That's exactly what I want!

Where are you going exactly?

So basically, there's not a lot I can do about it.

The more expensive articles are not necessarily better.

另外，用副词修饰形容词也可以加强语气。例如：

She's shockingly beautiful.

It's an outrageously expensive meal.

03用 tend to 替换 most of

当你想说 most of 的时候，不妨改成 tend to，增加词汇多样性。例如：

We tend to cook at home instead of dining out. (we tend to = most of us)

04避免过多使用 very

口语答案里面呢，要有意识的尽可能抛弃 very，一种方法是用 pretty 替代，另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。例如：

That performance was pretty impressive.

I'm pretty sure about that.

He was furious (=very angry) with himself for letting things get so out of control.

05避免生硬地说 NO

回答考官问题时，直接用 No 略显生硬，下面的说法能委婉地表达否定的意思。

-Does your school have diving classes?

-Not that I'm aware of, no.（潜台词：可能有，不过我不知道。)

-Have you ever had the experience when you watched the sky for a long time?

-Not that I can think of, no.（潜台词：可能有，不过我暂时想不到。）

以上就是雅思口语技巧的必备知识。希望同学们能够用心体会理解，把这些知识运用到实践当中，通过坚持不懈的练习，同学们一定能够拿下雅思口语。
