我们想要学好英语口语,就需要知道在平时怎么更好的练习口语。英语口语的学习其实是和汉语的口语学习差不多,都需要我们自己在平时多多的掌握一些比较好的训练技巧。或者自己能够有自己的学习方法,这样都很好。下面就是对于口语练习的详细说明,我们自己看看就知道了。

流畅性及连贯性

1. Repeat after a recording 复述练习

The Frst time you repeat it will probably be slower than the actual recording so keep repeating until you gain the same speed as the native speaker. Be aware that you may need to use sound links, contractions and weakened forms to match their speed.

通常第一次做复述练习时,念的速度会比较慢,你必须重复练习,直到你讲话的速度与以英语为母语的使用者的速度一致。练习速度时你必须同时活用“连音”、“缩略语”以及“弱读音”。

2. Repeat the same topic 重复练习相同的主题

The first time you say a Part 2 topic, for example, you will produce a somewhat slow response with little information. The more often you repeat it, the more fluently your response should come out. Remember when you begin to produce more fluent answers, you will need to add more information to ensure that you keep talking for 1-2 minutes.

刚开始练习口语测试的Part 2时,你的反应会较慢,头脑中的资料会比较少,重复练习可以改善这种状况。记住,当你讲得比较流利后,你就必须提供充分的资料来让你的回答足以持续~2分钟。

3. Use it or lose it 尽可能使用新词汇

The reason why you pause or hesitate is often in search of vocabulary which is not readily available to you. The more you use a word, the more likely it will become active vocabulary. By the same token if you never use a word that you have learnt, it is destined to be forgotten.

通常你在口试时停顿或犹豫,是因为你正在脑海里寻找合适的词汇。平时多练习使用学过的词汇,词汇才会真正属于你。

4. Focus on English, not IQ 专注在英文能力上

Another reason why you may break down is that you have no opinion.As a student about to study your Master's Degree, of course you want to sound very educated and knowledgeable, but remember IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System, it's not an IQ test. Examiners are testing your English not your intelligence. If you can't think of a smart response, then say something obvious, boring, or even stupid but use good English while you are doing so. Saying something is better than nothing. If you say nothing then you lose points in each criterion, not just fluency. If you say something stupid, you will still gain points in each criterion. The only thing you may lose is face but who cares? You'll never see the examiner again.

导致你在发言中停顿的另一个原因是因为你没有自己的看法。参加IELTS测试的考生多半是为了攻读硕士,当然会希望自己听起来是个有知识的人。但请牢记,IELTS考查的是你的英文能力,而非智力。万一实在没有好的想法,或只有一些无趣、甚至愚蠢的想法,还是要尽量开口说,因为随便说也比什么都不说好。
