Jessica Beck 和 Aubrey Carter:在雅思口语考试中,尤其是在第一部分和第二部分,一些看似简单的词汇(例如 big, small, good, bad, first)如果使用不当,会影响考生的最终分数。为了获得更高的分数,考生应该学习并运用更高级的词汇来替换这些低分词汇。例如,可以用 gargantuan, massive, enormous 来替换 big;用 diminutive 来替换 small;用 phenomenal 来替换 good;用 heinous 来替换 bad;用 at the outset 来替换 first;用 meanwhile 来描述同时发生的两个动作;用 consequently 或 as a result 来表达结果;用 eventually 来描述很久以后发生的事情。 在实际运用中,考生可以将这些高级词汇融入到自己的回答中,使回答更加流畅自然,也更能体现考生的英语水平。同时,合理运用时间过渡词和连接词,可以使故事更加连贯,条理清晰,更易于理解。 此外,两位专家还强调了大量接触英语的重要性,建议考生通过观看英语电视节目、收听英语播客等方式,积累更多词汇,提高英语水平。 Aubrey Carter:为了准备雅思口语考试,考生应该大量接触英语,学习各种词汇,并掌握一些在每次考试中都可能出现的形容词、副词和连接词。在雅思口语考试中,尤其是在第二部分,考生应该熟练运用时间过渡词,例如 at the outset, meanwhile, consequently, as a result, eventually 等,来组织故事,使故事更加流畅自然。 同时,考生也应该注意避免重复使用相同的过渡词,例如 then, next 等,应该尝试使用更多样化的过渡词,使语言更加丰富多彩。 在实际运用中,考生可以将这些时间过渡词作为模板,根据自己的故事内容,选择合适的过渡词来连接不同的事件,使故事更加连贯,条理清晰。
