口試測驗技巧第一篇:掌握主題: Part 1

IELTS雅思高分技巧在口試測驗技巧部份,要注意考官會試著測試你討論非專業主題的能力。例如,如果你是攻讀經濟學,考官會假設你有能力談論經濟學的常識,所以或許會決定問你有關室內設計,或是當地體育名人的問題。

一些常見的主題以及問題範例

  1. 藝術與文化: Tell me about a painting you have seen.
  2. 野生動物: Are their any special animals that represent your country?
  3. 飲食: What kind of restaurants are popular in your country these days?
  4. 環境: What do people do in your country to protect the environment?
  5. 運動: Why is basketball so popular in Taiwan?
  6. 教育: Tell me about your high school.
  7. 休閒娛樂: What is there to do at the weekend in Taipei?
  8. 電視與電影 : What kind of TV shows are popular in Taiwan?
  9. 音樂: What kind of music do you like to listen to?
  10. 科技: How do use technology in your job?
  11. 時尚流行: How interested are you in the latest fashions?

IELTS考官不是要試著抓你的小辮子,他們是給予你展現多元廣泛字彙的機會。你不需要在某個主題上有專業的知識,只要表現出你有討論普遍議題,以及給予意見的能力。

IELTS雅思口試測驗技巧

冒點險: 廣泛多元的字彙(既使有些可能是錯的)勝過於完美無瑕的但是有限字彙的表達。
試著用描述的方法解釋不懂的字彙: 所有的人都有無法想出正確想講的字的時候。如果這狀況發生在你身上,試著用別的方式來解釋同一件事。最重要的是你能表現出你有能力表達你想講的事物。
說謊! 不要顧忌地欺騙考官! 他們對於你說的事情的真實性沒有興趣,他們只想看到應試者有廣泛使用語言的能力。例如,如果你對藝術沒有興趣,你可以編謊說你喜歡印象派的作品,說你覺得印象派作品: refreshing, exhilarating, delightful, charming, inspired, innovative, energising and cathartic. 這可讓你的回答更有趣。

IELTS雅思口試第一部分: 4至5分鐘

在這一部分,你必須回答與日常生活有關的主題。通常是有關你,以及你從哪裡來。以下看看這些問題範例,以及兩位學生 Jackson和Beyoncé的回答。你覺得誰的回答比較令人印象深刻?

主題: 野生動物

Jackson

Q:What kind of wild animals are there in your country?
A:Dog and cat.

Q:How do people feel about these animals?
A:It's cute.

Beyoncé

Q:What kind of wild animals are there in your country?
A:Well, there are a variety of interesting species which can be found in mountainous areas. There are a lot of types of insect which grow very large due to the sub-tropical conditions, such as mantis and a lot of other bugs I don't know the name of in English, and there are also a lot of mammals, such as the famous Taiwanese black bear.

Q:How do people feel about these animals?
A:To be honest, most people think the insects are pests, although they are obviously important in the food chain. But people are very fond of the black bears which they feel represent Taiwan, and there is a lot of conservation work being done to protect their habitats.

Beyoncé

Q:Are there any traditional ways of dressing in your country?
A:The most well-known outfit for women is called a qipao. It's kind of tight-fitting silk dress. It looks quite sexy.

Q:How popular are these clothes with young people?
A:Qipao are still worn by some people. They are quite fashionable in other countries too. But apart from that, I don't think traditional ways of dressing are as common in Taiwan as in some other countries, like Japan and Korea.

主題: 休閒娛樂

Jackson

Q:Tell me about some popular leisure time activities in your country.
A:Sleeping. And watching movies and going shopping.

Q:Why is going to the movies so popular?
A:You can get the latest information.

Beyoncé

Q:Tell me about some popular leisure time activities in your country.
A:Apart from shopping and going to the movies, lots of people like walking in the mountains around Taipei. There are also several hot spring resorts near the city, such as Wulai, which are very popular at the weekends.

Q:Why is walking in the mountains so popular?
A:Let me think. I guess it's because people's lives in Taipei can be quite stressful, but the city is surrounded by mountains and forest. For example, there is Yangmingshan and Elephant Mountain. People can go to these places quite easily when they have a day off and get some exercise and fresh air, and also enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Jackson的回答比較弱,因為

  1. 他並沒有真正回答第一個有關野生動物的問題。
  2. 他以很有限的字彙表達。
  3. 他的回答很簡短。
  4. 當他不知道特定的字該怎麼講時,他決定放棄不講。
  5. 他的回答有可能是任何一個國家,他並沒有解釋到他國家特別的地方。
  6. Beyoncé的回答很有力,因為:

    1. 她花了一些時間想答案,而且都給完整的答案。
    2. 她表現出她知道許多不常用的字彙。
    3. 她用了許多的範例。
    4. 她遇到不會講的字彙時沒有停下來。
    5. 她會解釋中文字的意義。
    6. 我們從她的回答中學到台灣一些有趣的資訊。
