小編:長安 660最近有同學跟我說,老師咱倆嘮兩塊錢兒的唄。
我:你咋想的?
學生:老師啊,這驕陽似火的,為啥我覺得我口語要涼呢…………
我:怎么就涼了?
學生:口語思路我都懂,但是就是,說不出………不知道這個英格麗是要怎么表達,也不知道去哪里找…………
我:舉個例子?
學生:比如我特別喜歡說"更容易做什么什么",但是我不會說……是用it's easy to do 嗎?
CUT?。?/p>
我們來仔細思考一下,這樣說對嗎?
類似的問題其實我也遇到很多次,每次解釋的時候也要想怎么才能說明白,因為我們糾結(jié)半天英語,其實我們的漢語才真是博!大!精!深啊?。【拖襁@個這里的"容易",此"容易"非彼"容易"。It's easy to do 里的easy,是說,咱們這個事情"好做";而這位同學說的這個"容易"呢,其實更像"想做"或者"更可能會做"。所以我們不能直接中譯英,因為不夠地道。
所以,到底要怎么說?!
Ok,北京環(huán)球教育鄭修怡老師一直認為授之魚,不如授之以漁。今天筆者就告訴大家,一個藏滿雅思口語素材寶藏的好東西!
對!就是這個!如果你不知道這個是什么,同學,你的人生不完整?。。。?/p>
這個tapescripts或者audioscripts就是我們雅思聽力的文本。別告訴我你不知道在哪里啊,我聽到聽力老師們在磨刀了…………
這個東西就在劍橋雅思每本書的后面,在答案之前。聽力對話和獨白中的每個詞都給出了。所以,這里都是地地道道的英文表達!!不抄白不……sorry,不學白不學啊??!
回到我們的口語表達,剛才那個"容易"的表達,在聽力文本中出現(xiàn)猴多猴多次??!
劍5 Test 3 section 4(以下簡稱C5-3-4)中,連續(xù)出現(xiàn)3次!你們體會下:
Second, there is a situational factor which means that the context we are in can make us more likely to focus on one set of goals or the other. For example, we are more likely to be thinking about pleasure and to have promotion goals when we are spending time with a friend. In contrast, if we are working on an important project for our boss, we are more likely to try to avoid making mistakes and therefore have more prevention goals in our mind.
(翻譯:第二個是情境因素,也就是說我們身處的情境能夠使我們更加關(guān)注兩種目標中的一個。舉個例子來說,當我們和朋友在一起的時候,會更傾向于想到愉悅以及獲得提升性目標。相反的,當我們在為老板完成一個重要的項目時,更可能會試圖避免出錯,因此會在心中產(chǎn)生更多預(yù)防性目標。)
無獨有偶,C5-1-4中:
Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education. And they are also more likely to save up to buy a house one day.
?。ǚg:關(guān)于對北美女人的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),女人更愿意為了孩子的教育存錢。另外,她們還更愿意為了某天能買上一所房子而存錢。)
See?這個頻繁出現(xiàn)的句型真的超級好用,當大家在回答選擇性的問題,或者說事務(wù)優(yōu)勢時,這個表達超好用的。比如,我們在回答廣告的好處時,就可以說:Customers are more likely to buy stuff that they've heard of before in advertisements.
你可能會覺得,6個腦袋,就這么一句也不夠?。?/p>
看來我得放個大招了!
那我就用聽力中的語句給大家攢一個長的口語答案!
看一下18年5-8月的一個口語新題:
Describe a public place that you think need improvements You should say:
Where this public place is?
What it is like?
Why you think it needs improvements
And how to make it better
Sample Answer:
I'd like to talk about a gym, called Fitness Spot, which opened a few years ago in the shopping centre to the west of my home. It's attracted a lot of custom, and I'm one of them. The whole place has been given a new minimalist look with the company's signature colours of white and green. The ground floor has the front desk, as well as a huge range of equipment. And the whole section of the first floor is devoted to training sessions.
Although it's doing pretty well, I still think some improvements are required. My main worry would be not being able to have a proper parking space. I regularly use the car park at the gym, it's usually full. So if they could buy some adjoining land and increase the number of parking spaces, that would be great.
Also, as the gym has been open for many years, it's become more and more shabby-looking. I think it should close for some time to be made safe and redecorated, repainting both of the interior and exterior, you know, stuff like that.
I'd also like to see some improvements to the equipment, particularly the running machines; there aren't enough for one each at the moment and we always have to wait. And the broken ones are sometimes left there just like that. I know renewing equips doesn't come cheap, but some investment is necessary from time to time, isn't it? And if they're going to spend a lot of money on equipment, they really make sure that everything is looking after properly.
If they make some efforts on these aspects, then I think I will keep going there. But if everything remains the same, I probably will consider cancelling my membership.
上面這段答案中,有部分就是聽力文章中的內(nèi)容,主要就是C9-1-2,C9-2-3和C11-3-2中的。另外repaint,interior和exterior是C11-2-2里的詞匯。
其實還有猴多詞匯、短語、句式和各種表達可以挖掘。筆者一直堅信,聽力是口語的基礎(chǔ)。大家在發(fā)愁口語的時候,要忘了,我們可以去從聽力中尋求幫助,這樣聽力和口語彼此相長,一箭雙雕,不僅可以大大提高備考效率,而且這是真正能力的提高呀!
我:還涼嗎?
學生:不涼,爽!感覺發(fā)了財!
