1.雅思口語(yǔ)考試要注意的幾大細(xì)節(jié)
1.Keep eye contact. 保持眼神交流
中國(guó)考生在答題時(shí)往往眼瞼自然下垂，是一種內(nèi)斂的表現(xiàn)�？稍跉W美人看來(lái)，這種回避的眼光可能是一種缺少安全感、不自信的表現(xiàn)。在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中，考官提問時(shí)會(huì)一直與考生保持眼神交流，這樣不僅可以保證交流的自然性，也符合西方人的交流習(xí)慣，而這正是很多考生忽略的細(xì)節(jié)。堅(jiān)定的眼神可以將考生的自信傳達(dá)給考官，從而給考官留下良好的印象。所以，考生要牢記，考試時(shí)和考官保持一定的眼神交流，自信地看著對(duì)方說(shuō)話，即使心里很慌亂，也不要從眼睛里流露出來(lái)。
2.Listen carefully and respond quickly. 仔細(xì)聽題、快速反應(yīng)
不少考生備考口語(yǔ)考試時(shí)，忽略了加強(qiáng)聽力練習(xí)，殊不知，口語(yǔ)交流的前提是聽懂問題。不少考生口語(yǔ)考試時(shí)因聽力不足而交流不暢，無(wú)法做到快速反應(yīng)。
建議大家找一個(gè)可以用英語(yǔ)交流的朋友，以一問一答的形式來(lái)模擬正式考試，既可以逼真地模擬考試場(chǎng)景，也可以鍛煉聽力和反應(yīng)能力，還可以培養(yǎng)用眼神交流的習(xí)慣。
3.Don’t pretend you understand the questions when you don’t. 不可不懂裝懂
有些考生考試時(shí)由于緊張或聽力不好沒聽清考官的問題，但又不想暴露，于是便連蒙帶猜給出一個(gè)答案。但是，如果考生不懂裝懂，答非所問，萬(wàn)一答案錯(cuò)誤，就會(huì)給考官留下聽力很差的印象。其實(shí)在考試中要求考官重復(fù)或確認(rèn)很正常，尤其是問題比較長(zhǎng)而復(fù)雜時(shí)。所以，與其猜測(cè)不如確認(rèn)或請(qǐng)考官重復(fù)問題，比如：Sorry,what was that? I’m sorry?
4.Use hesitation devices appropriately. 巧用停頓技巧
考生即使準(zhǔn)備再充分，也難免被考官問到一些冷僻或棘手的問題，這時(shí)恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂猛ｎD技巧就變得很重要。比如：
Q：Do you enjoy singing?
A：Singing? Well, I’m not very keen on singing, but I do like listening tomusic.
考生答題時(shí)可先重復(fù)問題中的一些關(guān)鍵詞作為確認(rèn)，同時(shí)給自己時(shí)間思考。well, actually, yousee, you knowwhat等都是英語(yǔ)中最常用的停頓表達(dá)方法。
5.Don’t memorize answers. 不可背誦答案
不少考生備考時(shí)，把參考書中的例子也背下來(lái)以應(yīng)對(duì)考試。背書的考生通常語(yǔ)速過快、沒有語(yǔ)調(diào)、表情不自然，很容易被考官發(fā)現(xiàn)。背書是一種投機(jī)取巧的作弊手段，無(wú)法真實(shí)地反映考生的口語(yǔ)水平
所以，大家要認(rèn)真練習(xí)口語(yǔ)，注意語(yǔ)速不可過快，語(yǔ)調(diào)自然起伏，避免單一。
6.Develop answers by offering detailed information. 提供細(xì)節(jié)、擴(kuò)展答案
考官給考生打分的前提是，考生提供足量的語(yǔ)言素材以達(dá)到分析和判斷的底線。所以，擴(kuò)展答案很重要。選擇什么角度擴(kuò)展，取決于考生自己。如果遇到冷僻或陌生的話題，可嘗試從不同角度講述。
7.Don’t panic if you’ve made a mistake. 犯錯(cuò)不慌
很多考生語(yǔ)法意識(shí)太強(qiáng)，擔(dān)心自己的答案會(huì)出現(xiàn)語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)語(yǔ)，結(jié)果在答題中出現(xiàn)了大量停頓和糾錯(cuò)現(xiàn)象，使語(yǔ)言表達(dá)的流利度大打折扣。其實(shí)，考生大可不必為答題中出現(xiàn)的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤過度擔(dān)心。一旦犯錯(cuò)，如果意識(shí)到了，可及時(shí)改正，沒有改正也無(wú)傷大雅，沒必要慌張。有時(shí)候考官也可能沒注意到，關(guān)鍵在于是否能夠流暢表達(dá)，對(duì)方能否理解。當(dāng)然，這并不意味著考生可不顧語(yǔ)法，任意犯錯(cuò)�？忌趶�(fù)習(xí)時(shí)可將自己說(shuō)的內(nèi)容錄音，然后自查錯(cuò)誤。
2.雅思口語(yǔ)高頻練習(xí)話題

2.雅思口語(yǔ)考試思路的轉(zhuǎn)換
當(dāng)雅思口語(yǔ)考官問你一個(gè)不熟悉的話題，如do you play a musical instrument?結(jié)果你赫然發(fā)現(xiàn)自己從小到大根本就沒學(xué)過樂器，則怎樣回答?是否硬著頭皮編個(gè)樂器給他?
答案可以是編，那就要事先準(zhǔn)備。或者是不編，直接回答，按以下的答題思路：
examiner: do you play a musical instrument?
student: hmm ...(沉思狀)i wish i could say yes, but (聳肩，攤手，無(wú)奈狀)not really. idon't play any musical instrument, but some of my friends do. on weekends weoften go to a school music classroom, they play the piano while i listened /watched, drinking beer and chatting with people. maybe one day i should learn toplay a piano as well.
