sample answer
I’m going to tell you about one of my teachers who taught me in middle school. He was a great influence on me and someone I still admire and look up to – a real role model.
Barry – that’s his name – taught me Geography and Biology for about 2 years I guess. He was also my form teacher and so we saw lot of each other when I was at school. Like quite a few teachers he hadn’t been a teacher all of his life – in fact he’d had a successful career in the army before he took up teaching. That I think is what made him a little different from the rest of the staff – he had a lot of outside interests in life.
As I was saying he taught me at middle school when was I around 11 or 12. But our relationship went much further than that. He became something of a family friend and he still comes to visit us quite often and he’s even shared Christmas Day with us once or twice. So I suppose you could say we have known each other for over 20 years now – though naturally I see much less of him now that I have moved away from home.
He has lots of qualities. For example, he was a strong disciplinarian at school and insisted that everyone tidied their desk and was polite. But his greatest quality for me is his sense of humour and enthusiasm. When we used to have lessons with him he was able to make a class of small boys want to learn because he wouldn’t just tell us funny stories he would show how us how enjoyable studying nature could be – even though I had no real interest in the subject.
Why do I look up to him so much? Well, if I was a teacher I’d want to be just like him – someone who is able to make other people want to learn.
雅思口語委婉性表達(dá)：拉近你和考官的距離
很多考生在走出雅思口語考場后，把考官的音容笑貌深刻的在了自己腦海里，是不茍言笑的，亦或是親切可愛的，繼而不斷糾結(jié)這位考官會(huì)不會(huì)看自己不順眼，或者是能夠給自己一個(gè)印象分。筆者曾經(jīng)問過一位前任雅思考官，在口語考試中是否真的有印象分，他沒給說‘Yes’or‘No’，但回答同樣耐人尋味，‘Well, we will judge a candidate’s level strictly according to the marking criteria, but we would feel happy with those who understand how to communicate in a polite and delightful way.’可見，考生們?nèi)绻朴谑褂靡恍┪裥缘谋磉_(dá)，通過句式的變化將要表達(dá)的意思烘托或暗示給考官，不僅讓考官在整個(gè)過程中感到舒適，也相應(yīng)的消除了自己的緊張情緒。
在雅思口語的教學(xué)過程中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)很多學(xué)生口語非常流利，但有的句子說出來卻令人不悅，比如有的話題讓我們表達(dá)不滿意的事或物，比如‘Describe a subject you dislike’或‘Describe a movie you dislike’,很多同學(xué)直接這樣回答，‘We are unhappy with that movie.’或 ‘We are dissatisfied with that subject. ’,其實(shí)，我們完全可以換一種更加禮貌的方式，‘I'm sorry but we're not very happy with that movie.’或 ‘We're not completely satisfied.’。
雅思口語中還有很多話題談及我們的需要，很多同學(xué)直接用 ‘want’ 來表達(dá)自己的需求，比如, ‘I want to listen some English songs.’, 稍作改動(dòng)為‘I would need some sort of English songs when I am free’顯得更加婉轉(zhuǎn); 另外，當(dāng)提出某種建議時(shí)，有的學(xué)生會(huì)說 ‘The government must improve the environment nowadays.’, 在這里直接用‘must’這個(gè)小詞就顯得太過生硬，可以改成 ‘We were rather hoping to improve the environment nowadays.’
另外，在Part 3中考官會(huì)和學(xué)生根據(jù)Part 2的相關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行討論，也會(huì)詢問學(xué)生對某件事的態(tài)度或觀點(diǎn)，比如‘Do you think the traffic in your country will get better in the future?’, ‘Do you think playing computer games do more harm than good to children?’, 許多同學(xué)在表達(dá)‘不同意’時(shí)會(huì)非常直接的說, ‘I won't agree to this.’ 或者 ‘I can’t accept it.’。如果換一種句式，就會(huì)顯得更加有禮貌，比如 ‘I find it somewhat difficult to agree to.’或者 ‘Unfortunately, we would be unable to tolerate that. ’
從上面的幾個(gè)例子也不難看出，改動(dòng)后的句子變得更加委婉，讓考官聽起來也會(huì)覺得順耳。在社會(huì)語言學(xué)中，委婉的語言是日常交際中很重要的組成部分，這也是西方人回答問題和表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)時(shí)常用的說話方式。在雅思口語考試中，有四種簡單的方法可以讓你的口語回答顯得更加委婉且有禮貌：
1. 多用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，比如would, should, could, might來表示自己的態(tài)度，看法、建議或忠告，比如：
(1) Without relaxation, our life might be sharply shortened. 沒有休息，生命也許會(huì)縮短。
(2) But if they watch TV too much, their eyes would be seriously hurt and they might be distracted from their study.如果看電視過多，他們的眼睛或許會(huì)嚴(yán)重受損，也會(huì)分散學(xué)習(xí)的精力。
(3) Umm, it could be anything, like punctured tires, diversions of traffic, sudden descent of fog… … 嗯，任何情況(都可以導(dǎo)致遲到)，比如爆胎，交通變道，大霧……
2. 在句首可用maybe/perhaps, unfortunately, unluckily, I'm afraid, I’m not sure..., I doubt…提出建議、請求或表示反駁、反對等。
(1) Maybe I should eat more vegetables to keep a healthy diet. 或許我應(yīng)該吃更多的水果來保持健康的飲食。
(2) Perhaps there’s another side of the question. 也許這個(gè)問題還有另一種情況。
(3) I am afraid children would be addicted to online games and put their study aside. 我擔(dān)心孩子們會(huì)對網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲上癮，把學(xué)業(yè)擱置一邊。
3.大量使用not very / quite, rather, somewhat, slightly, sort of、a little bit，或者使用否定句型代替直接性的否定詞匯，比如not completely，not very等，來軟化絕對和強(qiáng)硬的語氣，給人一種正面的感覺。
4、用插入語或附加問句表示自己的看法。
(1) That’s not quite reasonable, I guess. 我想，那樣不太合理吧!
(2) Dogs, it seems, love to chew up cash money. 狗看起來喜歡咀嚼紙幣。
(3) Rainy days often cause too much inconvenience to people’s daily lives, isn’t it? 下雨天會(huì)給人們的日常生活帶來很多不便，不是嗎?
