口語(yǔ)水平的提高需要一段很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間積累的過(guò)程,所以找對(duì)口語(yǔ)范文很關(guān)鍵。下面小編給大家?guī)?lái)雅思口語(yǔ)范例:a science lesson。
雅思口語(yǔ)范例:a science lesson
Describe a science lesson that you had in school or university (such as biology, chemistry or physics).
You should say:
when you attended this lesson
where you attended this lesson
what you learned (and what branch of science it was)
and explain how you learned it (= how it was taught).
Sample from Wang Dong: Boiling Frog 溫水煮青蛙
how you learned it
_The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.
_If you put the frog in cold water and slowly increase the temperature--slowly boil the water, the frog will be cooked without trying to jump out.
_They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.
explain what you learned
_The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to important changes that occur gradually.
_Life happens gradually. Like the frog, we can be fooled, and suddenly it’s too late. We need to be aware of what is happening.
_This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble. This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.
_An example: Let's say that every year, the local well had an inch less of water in it. A person might realize there's a problem if there's suddenly NO water, but a slowly dropping level might not be an obvious crisis until it's too late!

雅思口語(yǔ)素材
描述一次你犯的錯(cuò)誤并通過(guò)這學(xué)到了一些東西。
范文1
I was responsible for the final approval of a catalog that my company was printing. I was working on several other projects at the time and was in a rush.
Plus, the catalog had been reviewed by several people already, so I wasn’t expecting any major errors.
I ended up approving the catalog without giving it full consideration, but after we printed several thousand copies, my boss noticed a pretty significant error.
I learned that rushing through a project isn’t helpful. In the long run, it can end up costing more time and money. It’s important to give every project my full attention and take my time. If I have the responsibility of approving something, I can’t just assume that it's already been done correctly.
Since then, I consciously remind myself to slow down. l've also worked on being more organized when multitasking.
我負(fù)責(zé)公司印刷目錄的最終審批。當(dāng)時(shí)我正在做其他幾個(gè)項(xiàng)目,時(shí)間很緊,而且目錄已經(jīng)被幾個(gè)人看過(guò)了,所以我沒(méi)有想到會(huì)有什么重大錯(cuò)誤。
我最終沒(méi)有充分考慮就批準(zhǔn)了目錄,但是,我們印了幾千份之后,老板發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)非常嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤。
我認(rèn)為匆忙完成一個(gè)項(xiàng)目是沒(méi)有幫助的。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看,它最終會(huì)花費(fèi)更多的時(shí)間和金錢。對(duì)每個(gè)項(xiàng)目都給予充分的關(guān)注和花時(shí)間是很重要的。如果我有批準(zhǔn)某事的責(zé)任,我就不能假定它已經(jīng)正確地完成了。
從那以后,我有意識(shí)地提醒自己要慢下來(lái)。我還致力于在多任務(wù)處理中變得更有條理。
范文2
One instance that taught me well was when I tried to arrange a birthday party for my sister. Everything was supposed to be arranged by me, so I went out and bought the invitation cards, party favors, decorations, food. I filled out the invitations early and put them in a box a few days before I sent them.
As the hour of the party came, no one showed up but the birthday girl, whom had called personally. Later it occurred to me that I hadn't sent out the invitations! That was why no one came.
I felt so bad. I soon learned from that mistake that I should be more organized and manage my time better when planning events. Now I'll set a reminder on my phone every time I'm arranging things.
有一次,我試著為我姐姐安排一個(gè)生日聚會(huì),我學(xué)得很好。所有的事情都應(yīng)該由我來(lái)安排,所以我出去買了請(qǐng)柬、派對(duì)禮物、裝飾品和食物。我很早就填好了請(qǐng)柬,并在寄出前幾天把它們放在一個(gè)盒子里。
聚會(huì)的時(shí)間到了,除了壽星沒(méi)有人來(lái),她是我親自打電話的那個(gè)人。后來(lái)我才想起我沒(méi)有把請(qǐng)柬發(fā)出去!所以沒(méi)有人來(lái)。
感覺(jué)如此糟糕。我很快就從這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤中認(rèn)識(shí)到,在計(jì)劃活動(dòng)時(shí),我應(yīng)該更有條理,更好地管理我的時(shí)間?,F(xiàn)在我每次整理東西的時(shí)候都會(huì)在手機(jī)上設(shè)置提醒。
雅思口語(yǔ)的八大細(xì)節(jié)整理
相對(duì)于雅思考試中的其他單項(xiàng),口語(yǔ)是不少考生的弱勢(shì)項(xiàng)目。除備考要細(xì)致,考試時(shí)的一些細(xì)節(jié)也要引起考生注意,提醒大家尤其要注意以下八個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題。
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)。可在歐美人看來(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(wèn)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)。
Don't confess your English is poor.決不坦白
有些考生本來(lái)英語(yǔ)不差,但在開(kāi)始作自我介紹時(shí)就和考官說(shuō):My name is……My English is not very good.提醒大家的是,即使英語(yǔ)真的不咋樣,也不能坦露。考生答題時(shí)一定要表現(xiàn)出足夠自信,面帶微笑,聲音洪亮,保持眼神交流,給考官留下良好的第一印象。
Listen carefully and respond quickly.仔細(xì)聽(tīng)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(tīng)力練習(xí),殊不知,口語(yǔ)交流的前提是聽(tīng)懂問(wèn)題。不少考生口語(yǔ)考試時(shí)因聽(tīng)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(wèn)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(tīng)力和反應(yīng)能力,還可以培養(yǎng)用眼神交流的習(xí)慣。
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(tīng)力不好沒(méi)聽(tīng)清考官的問(wèn)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(wèn),萬(wàn)一答案錯(cuò)誤,就會(huì)給考官留下聽(tīng)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(wèn)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(wèn)題,比如:Sorry, what was that? I'm sorry?
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(wèn)到一些冷僻或棘手的問(wèn)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 to music.
考生答題時(shí)可先重復(fù)問(wèn)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, you see, you know what等都是英語(yǔ)中最常用的停頓表達(dá)方法。
Don't memorize answers.不可背誦答案
不少考生備考時(shí),把參考書(shū)中的例子也背下來(lái)以應(yīng)對(duì)考試。背書(shū)的考生通常語(yǔ)速過(guò)快、沒(méi)有語(yǔ)調(diào)、表情不自然,很容易被考官發(fā)現(xiàn)。背書(shū)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。而考官可以靈活出題,忽然提一個(gè)刁鉆的問(wèn)題,如果剛才還很流利的考生忽然開(kāi)始結(jié)巴,說(shuō)話不知所云,就會(huì)引起考官懷疑。考官一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)考生在背書(shū),就會(huì)給出很低的成績(jī)。
所以,大家要認(rèn)真練習(xí)口語(yǔ),注意語(yǔ)速不可過(guò)快,語(yǔ)調(diào)自然起伏,避免單一。
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??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。
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(guò)度擔(dān)心。一旦犯錯(cuò),如果意識(shí)到了,可及時(shí)改正,沒(méi)有改正也無(wú)傷大雅,沒(méi)必要慌張。有時(shí)候考官也可能沒(méi)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。
