IELTS Speaking – Part 1(4 – 5 minutes.)
Task Description
In this part, the examiner introduces him/herself and checks the candidate’s identity. Then s/he asks the candidate about familiar topics such as friends, hobbies or food. To ensure consistency, questions are taken from a scripted examiner frame.
What skill is being assessed?
The candidate’s ability to communicate opinions and information on everyday topics and common experiences or situations by answering a range of questions.
Four functions of speaking
1. state facts (what questions)
2. explain reasons (why) 考官不关心是什么原因,但是关心你是怎么表达的
3. describe processes (how)
4. describe difference (prefer型)
考生进入考场,考官检查证件,核对无误后,对事先准备好的录音机说:“--- This is the Speaking Module for the International English Language Testing System conducted on 06/July/2009 at 农大,
雅思口语攻略免费
。The candidate is X. Candidate number is X and the interviewer is Charles. ”--- My name is Litianle. Can you tell me your full name, please?
--- Thank you. Where are you from?
--- Well, first of all, I’d like to ask you some questions about yourself.
It is freezing cold out there. How are you? --- My name is xxx.
进考场的时候,考官都会跟你打招呼的,可是居然有很多的考生视而不见,你可一定要理他。美国人怎么打招呼,秀一下。考官喜欢问How are you? 不要千篇一律地回答:“Fine, thank you and you?”,其实有很多种:
“Great, cheers!”
“Pretty good!”
“I’m okay!”
“Couldn’t be better. Thanks!”
“Not too bad. Thanks, yourself?”
极品对答:
What do you do? --- I am talking to you
Where are you from --- I am from China.
恰到好处的反馈
预感能力
Do you have any brothers and sisters?
What do they do?
Are they married?
Do they have children?
第一部分最要注意的就是“度”的问题:
有两个极端:
一种是“冰山美人”型,简单的“Yes, No”。
Do you have pets? Yes, I do, it’s cute.
Do you have a girlfriend? Yes, I do, she’s lovely.
两种情况:
1. 有些同学害怕犯错误,就不肯多说,只回答yes, no, 这让考官无法考察你的真实水平。这种回答不可取,因为你丧失了展示你口语能力的机会,特别是本身水平有限的学员,在后两部分难以拿分,那就只有在这个比较好拿分的部分表现一下了。
2. 没有交流欲望,因为最重要的是communication,一定要考官察觉出你的交流欲望。
另一种是唐僧型,两种情况:
1. 回答一律拓展,深怕后面得分不高,尽量表现:
2. 担心质量而数量堆砌:
What is your mother like?
She is very nice, extremely nice to me. Very soft-spoken. I like her voice. You know she cooks three meals a day at home, and she does almost all the housework. Very busy lady. She is a good wife, married to my father for 30 years. I am going to buy her a present for their wedding anniversary next month. She was very beautiful when she was young…
同时也不能说太过,特别是不能让考官产生你在背的感觉,考官会当你的这部分回答无效。
正确做法应该是两到三个句子, 要表现出主动交流的欲望,但是也要注意communicate这个概念,让考官也参与进来。
sample 弄过来:
大家可以发现他说的东西有修改的地方,比方little, only two little,这反而说明他的自然,不是在背,同学们可以借鉴一下,中间稍作停顿,em, er, 当然也不能太多,反正看不出来你在背就好。
讲究自然的回答,自然的交流。在模考的时候,有个学生说他喜欢游泳,我问what style 他喜欢,就无语了,但是他用手比划出自由泳姿势,这就很聪明,达到了交流的目的。
在第一部分不要涉及你没把握的内容,你一说你喜欢极限运动,其实没真的玩过,那就麻烦了,一般他不会莫名其妙地乱问,都是有联系的。你说你喜欢音乐,他接下来可能问“Which is your favorite band?”
What is your occupation?
I am a teacher.
What do you teach?
How do you teach your class?
Suppose you are riding a bicycle to school, and there is a puncture in your tyre, your bicycle tyre goes flat, and you can not ride anymore, then what do you do to go to school?
考官会不断地追问问题,而且问得越来越难以考察你是否能得高分。
所以你所谓事先背的东西其实是很难凑效的,雅思考试口语部分非常人性化,而且也比较科学,在最科学的英语测试中,我们倒下了。
I take a taxi. 这样的答案是不可取的; I ask the repairman to repair it for me,也不好,考官会问 How did the repair man repair it?
Avoidance can be easily perceived.
What do you do at home? --- I sleep. How do you sleep? Do you have a washing machine?
大家回去后可以自己说,然后自己录音,检查哪里有问题。
雅思口语考试是没有标准答案的。

Do you prefer to live by yourself or live with your parents?

套句四:

Actually, it’s very hard to pick up a favorite subject as I build interests in many subjects. (体现出你的博学,你的兴趣爱好广泛,建议不要选英语)
黄金词汇:profound, it occurs to, liken to
What do you think of English and other languages?
English is an important tool to survive and thrive (押韵)in our society。Statistics show that English possesses the largest number of users with 1.6 billion worldwide. Therefore, it is no wonder why there are so many English learners and so many IELTS candidates. That’s why I am here. 亮点设计:押韵+数据+调侃/交流
Other languages are important (发音亮点)as well (妩媚), due to the fact that (同位语从句)there are 7 official working languages recognized by the U.N. Besides, (联结词)language is beautiful in the first place, not to mention(联结词) it is a carrier of culture. Actually, (联结词)I know a little bit about German: I mochte sie zum essen einladen. Which means I want to invite you to dinner?
亮点设计:每人去学一句俄语、法语、意大利语展示你的风采。
迂回答题法:
Examiner: Do you like your university? (你喜欢你的大学么?)
Candidate: Well, it’s ok. I don’t like things that are academic and theoretical, but there’s great campus life.(还可以,我不喜欢学术的东西,但是那儿的校园生活很棒!)——迂回思维就是旁敲侧击,不是正面接触而是绕道而行。思维时做到侧面多、角度多,从其他方面回答考官提出的问题也可以起到相同的效果。——口语考试中切忌紧张,如果能在回答时用上适当的幽默,不但能使答案增色不少,还可以让考场气氛轻松下来,何乐而不为。此类的例子不胜枚举,考生完全可以充分发挥自己的想象力来使自己的回答更加生动有趣。
细节答题法:
Examiner: After you graduate, what effect do you think you will have on society? (毕业后,你认为你会对社会有何影响?)
Candidate: Well, it’s a tough question. Let me see. I think I can make an impact in our local community by helping those people around us when we can. May not go down in History, but we may gain a place in someone's heart. That’s all I can figure out now. (这是个难题,我想一下。我认为我可以在社区里帮助那些需要帮助的人,可能不会留垂青史,但至少在一些人心中占有了一定的位置。)
——这种答题方 法又可以叫做:以小见大答题法。我们在口语中容易犯一些错误:其中之一就是很多同学喜欢说很深刻的大道理,但在雅思口语考试中应该以小见大,举小例子来说 明自己的观点。细节答题法的好处是能将“小我”的生活积累和人生体验与社会风云和时代精神连接起来,使难度较大或主题宏阔的写作内容简单化,同时也为真实 的、个性化的情感表达找到了一个合宜的方式和路径。“以小见大”常常是以实写虚,以小角度写大境界。其实,这样的例子还有很多。在此不一一列举。希望透过上面的例句,考生能够清楚一点,也是我在课上反复强调的:口语考试中,观点无所谓对错。
可能用得到的subjects: extra curriculum activities,
Job
What is your job?
涉及自己理应最熟悉的领域,表达依然困难。
I am a salesman… I sell… I sell…how to say…how do I put it… some equipment to schools.
套句:
I currently work at/in/for xxx.
On behalf of Microsoft(固定词组), I negotiate business deals with its distributors. I am recently promoted to the position as a manager with 4 staff under my supervision. (每天自信多一点) I am content with my career development.
Representing IBM(分词状语), I traveled around the country to promote the sales of our products, which is very challenging and exhausting (抱怨一下下,交流), good money(口语表达:轻松、随意、自然), though.
My occupation is manager. (区别occupation, job, career)
As a Marketing Manager(As引导的状语), I work to develop strategic plan for the line of business, building on the available skills of the organization to facilitate the transition to an e-business vendor, and create promotional materials to market program.

Hometown:出现频率超高
Where is your hometown? /Where do you come from? /Where are you from?与其说成my hometown is Changsha, 不如说成 you know, i am a Changsha local, i have been living in Changsha for more than 15 years.
体现variety, 自然
Can you describe your hometown?
就是这样的:Changsha is a beautiful city, the river (大家都知道的湘江) is beautiful, , and the mountain (岳麓山) is beautiful……,people are beautiful too山也美啊, 水也美啊, 地也美啊, 人也美啊, 整就一美毙了的城市……..
既然一定要说 美….可以这样一直很美丽下去的…..问题是怎么个美法。老外说女人美,一般说gorgeous,说景色美,可以用很多词,amazing(很多人用 的),fantastic, terrific, wonderful, incredible, awesome, marvelous等等许多的词汇。就算按照上面学生的思路,也能把长沙描述成Changsha is an amazing city, with fantastic landscape, wonderful facilities, terrific environment and hospitable people. It’s an awesome place. 人杰地灵
套句:
My hometown, X, is located in the Y part of China with a population of Z
The weather in X is usually Y in the Z time.

Due to the hot and humid climate there, the local people are known for their preference for spicy food. (乡土特色,老外喜欢)
时尚版 (比较年轻的男性考官最受用)
My hometown is Changsha. As the capital city of Hunan Province, Changsha serves as a dynamic (活力无限) business hub connecting the adjacent (词汇变化)city groups. The city witnesses (拟人修辞) a dramatic change in the past three decades with emerging skyscrapers (现代化的标志)on the main street. It is also known for the colorful nightlife(全盘西化), some even compare it to Las Vegas in U.S.

词汇:jogging/tennis/table tennis/wrestling/volleyball/basketball/baseball/judo/Kongfu/gymnastics/mountaineering/soccer/hike/swimming/badminton/diving/skating/skiing/cycling/
亮点设计:谈运动(jogging,moutaineering),就要谈励志,在夏天炎热的天气挥汗如雨啊(under the scorching sun),在冬天寒冷的天气(Freezing cold)里坚持跑步啊,总之要展示自己的意志坚定,目标远大就是challenge myself, aim higher. I enjoy hearing my footsteps pounding on the road, no rules, no pressure, this is the moment of my own, this is my own journey.说的时候最好配合表情,做入神状,翻白眼流涎,考官会对你肃然起敬。
大家就准备好谈一种运动,比如谈足球,那就就要谈到点上,说一些比较专业的词汇,励志人生,不要就事论事,如果对上考官的口味了就爽了。
为什么喜欢足球?
Influenced by my father(过去分词状语), who is a huge fan of football(后置定语), I am addicted to this amazing game.
When the player volleies the ball in the air, I just love the beautiful curve of the ball, it reminds me of the image of a bird flying in the sky. I thrill at the moment the ball rolling into the net, which is the most beautiful thing in the world. (唯美派,男女皆可)
The game is like life. You have only one opportunity to show yourself, to seize victory, there is no second chance, no turning back. It is a game of the brave ones. (勇敢者的游戏,男生专用)
It is a game of men. Legend goes that (引经据典)football originates from the tradition of soldiers playing the skull of slaves. Brutal as it sounds, I do enjoy the tough

为什么喜欢游泳?
It is said that infants are capable of swimming without training. So, swimming is a kind of human instinct. That might explain why I feel so comfortable in water. My favorite style is freestyle as I am not used to any restraints. (Discovery篇)
Water is the most amazing substance in the world. When I dive into the swimming pool, I can feel the water flowing over my body, and all my pressures and anxieties are gone. My favorite style is freestyle because it can totally relax every muscle of mine.(欲望都市篇)
I enjoy the feeling of freedom. I always think fishes are flying like the birds do (比较用法出现了)in the sky, they are just flying in different ways. So, when you (说的时候看着考官,交流了)say someone is swimming in the water, the more appropriate expression should be he is flying in the water. My favorite style is(抒情篇)

衣食住行:
衣服:
Clothes:
Usually, the pattern goes:
Item of clothing +color (with the right agreement) +material.
Ex: A blue cotton shirt.
A yellow silk blouse.
A green woolly jumper.
Black leather shoes.
Grey silk trousers.
Red cotton socks.
Please describe her clothes:
She wore a laced bodice the color of burlap over a white off-the-shoulder top with puffed sleeves, followed by a matching shin-length skirt with charcoal shoes. Around her neck dangled a necklace with a large crimson pendant. A torn white T-shirt could be seen beneath her laced black bodice, and her vibrant brown skirt brightened her appearance well .
Personal Preference for Clothes:
I tend to go for the glamorous gothic look, with long black skirts and corsets(紧身胸衣). Black Pinstripe trousers with black cleavage-showing tops. I guess I like black a lot.
I think my choice, when I am wearing my favorite outfits would be mixing femininity with a masculine edge-- normal looking clothes with one unusual item to add a bit of a twist to the look!
I’m not really a girly pink sort of a person, but I do seem to have an unhealthy amount of (非常地道/俏皮)pink/lilac(淡紫色)/red tops in my wardrobe.
UMMMM....... I hope I am stylish, I am a fashion follower, and usually I dress by my music tastes. At the moment, I am really into hip hop, so I tend to dress baggy trousers, t-shirts, sweatbands. (嘻哈系)
I try to be trendy but all my clothes come from places like Banelo that I can afford and I normally would pick relaxed alternative dress.(工薪消费)
Beckham is my ultimate style icon I think he is the only style icon around these days for men.

考官最感兴趣的话题是考生所在国家或地区的文化和风俗习惯,如气候特征、特色食品、婚庆习俗、重大节日、名胜古迹、休闲娱乐等话题。宗教一定要了解一点,特别是基督教Christianity. 谈家乡,说情,家乡就是有家人的地方,house和home的区别。怎样感动考官?
总之是不要放过一切机会来展示你的高素质和文化修养就是了。
应做的事
1)保持微笑和保持眼神接触;
2)当和面试官握手的时候,用力一点以表诚意;
3)清淅和详细地回答;
4)大方的谈及自己的事情和经验以控制场面;
5)测验前多练习,以肯定您能准确运用过去式等等的语法。
不应做的事
1)不要告诉面试官您很紧张,也不要眨眼太多和眼珠有太多移动;
2)握手时不要让面试官以为自己在握着一条死鱼;
3)当面试官期望您进一步说明,不要随便停下;
4)有语法错误时不要害怕,应镇定地更正,但在口语考试中,流利度绝对比语法准确度重要。
试熟练以下句子:
Good morning.
Good afternoon.
I'm well, thank you. And you?
Pleased to meet you.
What exactly would you like to know?

现在社会上有各式各样的培训班,声称能通过传授考试的各种技巧来取得高分, 这给人一种误导,仿佛不管英语水平如何,只要掌握了技巧就能获得好成绩.这种不负责任的培训机构我是有切身体会的,因为我参加过这样的班,一般上来就会问:“大家想学好英语么?是真的想还是假的想?是现在想还是十年以后再想?”教口语是这么教的,模仿李阳的手势教apple, 教thank you.我的看法是:实际情况是实力+技巧,实力为主.因为我考两次雅思,从没参加过培训,技巧的东西我从来没去准备过,裸考的坏典型,口语部分都是8分.所以,实力是王道,怎么提高实力,我想先谈谈三大误区:
1. 语言天赋:有的同学喜欢讲这个学习语言是讲天赋的。没错,是有这个差别,但是,我觉得,我的口语主要还是靠后天练习出来的,特别感谢初中高中的英语老师,她的发音很标准,教学很系统,而且我还专门去一中练了一个暑假的集训,应该说,我的发音部分都是来源于那时打下的良好基础。这个是要练习的,而且老师手把手的教特别有用,因为他可以直接给你指导,比听磁带管用。所以有些同学口语的问题,先天有一部分,更多的是开始的基础就没有打好,养成了不好的发音习惯,而这个习惯是可以矫正的。所以我会安排一次课专门来讲语音问题。
2. 语言环境:很多同学认为,只要出国了,有了语言环境了,口语就会提高了,并把自己口语不好归因于国内没有语言环境。不见得,种族歧视的翻版(唐人街老人,在澳洲读完本科雅思考四次都是5.5的笨蛋,自己的经历,听得多,说得少)
3. 练口语找老外练:也是听得多说得少,问题在哪?在于输入太少,肚子里没货,怎么倒得出来?讲我自己怎么输入的,疯狂英语每次背十个句子,英语角,恐龙的故事。自己创造环境,自己和自己练,然后模仿。
兴趣是最好的老师。看电影电视,我读大学的时候,跟家看电影,跟爸说我学习哪。老友记I took credit for. Hotel Babylon: Do you need extra pillow? 这里呢跟大家透露一个秘诀,跟读训练,影子训练。刚才呢跟大家分享了一点自己的经验,其实是很cliché的,希望对大家有所帮助。一句话,我都可以做到,大家一定可以做到的,努力啦。
IELTS Speaking – Part 2 (3 – 4 minutes, including the preparation time.)
Task Description
This is the long turn section. The examiner gives the candidate a task card, and a pencil and some paper to make notes.
The task card gives the topic, some points to include in the long turn and a final prompt asking the candidate to explain one aspect of the topic. Using the prompts on the task card effectively will help the candidate think of appropriate things to say, organise what s/he says, and keep talking for 2 minutes. Making notes during the preparation time also helps the candidate structure the long turn. The candidate has a minute to prepare, after which the examiner asks him/her to speak about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes. Then the examiner stops the candidate after 2 minutes, and asks one or two questions to round off (圆满结束)the long turn.
第二部分是个人具体表述部分 (Individual Long Turn), 也就是我们俗称的独白题,时间为3-4 分钟。考官会递给考生一张卡片,上面印有要求考生描述的内容以及提示:
当面试官给你一张卡片时,您应察觉第二部分已经开始了。题目通常是要你介绍某一个人,某一个物体或某一个事件。您也许会被问及一件事的过程,一件物件如何运作或一项游戏的规则等等。想在第二部分有好的表现,您应该能做到以下几点:
1)充分利用一分钟的准备时间做好笔记,一般情况下,你必须在接到卡片十秒钟之内知道你应该讲什么,否则你的演讲就会碰到问题。
2)能流利解释,描述或说明你所讲的话题。
3)表现出你愿意讲述这个题目,就算你对它不熟悉,你也必须围绕着这个题目展开,因为你没有换卡片的机会。

What skill is being assessed?
The candidate’s ability to speak at length on a given topic (without further prompts from the examiner), using appropriate language and organising his/her ideas coherently. It is likely that the candidate will need to draw on his/her own experience to complete the long turn.
考官会说:Well you have told me a little bit about yourself, and the topic you are familiar with, and now, I am going to give you a card, and I would like you to talk about the topic on the card for 1 to 2 minutes. Do you understand?
You have one minute to prepare. Here is the pencil and a sheet of paper if you would like to take notes,here is your card;
一张卡片,一张纸,一支笔,这就是你所有的装备了,这个时候大部分考生的反应都是大脑一片空白,小脑开始抽搐,浑身发汗,脸色苍白,眼睛死盯着卡片,死活不肯抬头。这个时候,考官会和颜悦色地说:“Excuse me, sir; time is up, now I would like you to talk about xxx. ”
这个时候你从睡梦中惊醒,然后故作镇定地开口:“En, This is a very interesting question!”这个部分难就难在要不停地说上1、2分钟,最怕的就是出现冷场,两个人你看我我看你,大眼瞪小眼,非常尴尬。时间上大家不用担心,考官会制止你的,当你超时的时候, 考官会说:OK, your time is up, stop sir, stop
After that, the interviewer will ask you a few questions about the topic, one to two simple yes no questions
1. Reading the card (within 5 seconds) Don’t forget to say thank you.Four steps:
2. Make up your mind what to say (10 seconds)
3. Make notes (45 seconds) 时间有限,不要写句子, 单词和缩写

A TV programme that I’ve seen and found really interesting was a Wildlife Programme about the Galapagos Islands.
It was on SKY TV last month – I think it was just last month, anyway. And I saw it at home with my family and a couple of friends who came round for the evening. The programme was about scuba diving in the Galapaos Islands, and it showed all sorts of quite fantasic animals. There were lots of different types of sharks, including hammerheads and white tipped sharks. And there were turtles, stingrays and lots of really beautiful fish too. But the thing that surprised me was penguins and the seals, because I didn’t know there were penguins or seals living on the equator – I thought they only lived in the seas near the north and south poles. So I was amazed to learn that there are penguins and seals living there, due to the very cold water there. I was also excited to learn that the animals are not frightened of divers and that you can swim really close to them. Apparently, they’ve had almost no contact with human beings until recently and that’s why they are so unafraid of people. So I felt that it was a very special diving spot and I was actually really envious of the divers in the programme, because I’m a scuba diver, but I’ve never swum with those sorts of animals. So, in my opinion the programme was really interesting because it was very informative and because I knew nothing about the Galapagos Islands before. And now, of course, I want to visit the Galapagos Islands. The trouble is that it’s very expensive to get there, unfortuanately.
在一分钟的时间里,考生应该尽快在脑子里搭出说话内容的大体框架,用关键词形式记录下来,提醒自己。关键词,一般是名词和形容词。
Describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you in your education.
You should say:
When and where you met him/her
What subject he/she taught
What was special about him/her
And explain why this teacher has influenced you.
看到这个话题,我们很容易就在头脑中建立起这样的形象和联想:
Miss Song… a young lady…first math teacher…grade one, primary school… very kind/ soft-spoken… liked to play ping-pong and was a good singer… made numbers interesting to kids… taught us how to behave/had good manners. 列出这些关键词拓展,最大的好处是不会跑题,可以看着笔记说,没有问题。
