很多雅思考生在备考口语时,往往把重心放在Part1和Part2,到了Part3却容易语无伦次。那么,如何准备才能考好雅思口语呢?其实,考官在Part3看重的,正是你能否在较短时间内组织出有逻辑、有深度的观点。下面这篇文章先从雅思口语的四个评分维度帮你梳理重点,再结合Part3的高频考题,聊聊具体该怎么破题。
流利度与连贯性
语速平稳,表达流利。
在part 3极少出现重复或自我纠正的情况。出现犹豫通常是基于思考内容,仅在少数情况下是寻找合适的语言。回答能够直扣主题,观点清晰,条理清晰。能够恰当使用连接词和语篇标记,例如in addition, there by等。
词汇多样性
能够熟练地使用简单的词汇及习语,偶尔欠准确,例如sugar是不可数名词用成了可数名词。能够按需进行有效的改述。
语法多样性及准确性
能够灵活地使用多种语法结构, 例如定语从句、状语从句、以及各种时态。除极其偶然情况下出现的不当或者简单的错误外,大部分语句准确无误。例如在回答part 3是偶尔会出现用错单词单复数问题,例如应该用单数的notion用成了复数。
发音
表达过程中灵活地使用多种发音特点,例如连读、吞音、弱读等。表达过程中始终易于听者理解,母语的口音对听者理解的影响极小。发音整体清晰、自然。
下面给大家带来Part3的考题
Part3的考题内容设置,都是跟社会现象有关,并且大多是有争议性的问题!
例如:
Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those challenges, we should both preserve and renote our ancestral heritages so that we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
Will land-lines be replaced by cellphones in the future?
Should parents encourage children to win prizes in a competition?
Do you think libraries will disappear in the future?
Do you think it is okay to do animal experiments for new drugs?
Do you think technology help people to remember better or worse?
Do you think government should protect heritage, like old buildings?
以上几题分别涉及到家庭教育、人与自然关系、科技进步给人们带来的影响等。
想要攻克part3 问题,尤其是频且难度的观点题,考生们需要在拿到题库的及时,将part3的观点题进行分析,看看该季度观点题主要考察哪些社会话题。有了考题考察方向后,再通过阅读积累相关话题下的表达,可通过阅读各大新闻网站(如CNN,The Economist)原版文章实现阅读积累。
Part3答题思路
通常PART3 的观点题均可以从对人、对家庭、对社会角度阐明利弊,我们以“Do you think government should protect heritage, like old buildings?”这题为例:本题题干涉及的heritage是可以是建筑类物质文化遗产,也可以是非物质文化遗产,那么保护此类遗产对个人的好处有:
Have chances to visit in person2. Broaden horizons of local cultural heritages3. Enrich knowledge about ancient history4. Inherit the wisdom of ancestors
其次,保护尤其是像old buildings一样的物质文化遗产对家庭的好处有:
A good place for family to have fun2. A practical way for parents to impart knowledge to their children
最后,对社会的好处有:
Foster the development of tourism2. Create jobs for local residents,help to promote their living standard3. Enhance the reputation of cities
回到“如何准备才能考好雅思口语呢”这个问题——Part3的难点在于观点题的展开思路。只要学会从个人、家庭、社会三个角度去拆解,很多看似棘手的话题都能找到落脚点。就像刚刚那道保护遗产的题,仅仅一题便可以从3个角度,9个点上找到答案方向,有了这么多内容支持,PART3观点题也不再是难题了。利弊观解题思路,你学会了吗?
