a.雅思口语7分是一个什么样的概念

以下为雅思口语7分的标准

Fluency and coherence

speaks at length without noticeable effort or loss of coherence

may demonstrate language-related hesitation at times, or some repetition and/or self-correction uses a range of connectives and discourse markers with some flexibility

用最简单的中文理解就是：顺其自然，感觉在聊天。也就是说，核心词是：自然。其实，想想平时聊天说话的时候，我们也会偶尔犹豫一下，也会偶尔重复使用某个词儿，也会偶尔自我更新一下发音，但这都是基于一种顺其自然的、甚至是一种本能的自我调整。所以，基于这种判断，在进考场之前，请你们不断给自己一个心理暗示：“我又不是上法庭答辩，又不是开记者招待会，我来不就是跟你这个破老外聊聊天嘛！任何一个正常的人都会说错话，都会用错字眼，都会重复使用某些词，但这完全不代表我们的口头表达能力有问题。”

Lexical resource

uses vocabulary resource flexibly to discuss a variety of topics

uses some less common and idiomatic vocabular and shows some awareness of style and collocation, with some inappropriate choices

uses paraphrase effectively

用最简单的中文理解就是：用词到位，解释清楚。在这里，我想说的一点是：请你不要把口

语当成写作，请你不要写作用的大词搬到口语中来，这是很要命的。说话是否有魅力不在于你是否使用了什么“之乎者也”的大词，而在于你是否清晰地呈献出你想表达的思维逻辑。不光是英文，中文也是如此，请你想想为什么郎咸平教授的演讲那么有魅力那么受观众的青睐，他从来不说什么高深的、“xx主义”之类的理论，却又能用很简单的语言去很好地表达了那些理论所蕴含的内在逻辑，就连七八十岁的老太太都听得懂他说的是什么。这话扯远了，我想说的是，请你不要首先着急背什么词汇，用什么句型。这不是写作，这是口语！关键是“先有观点，再有词汇”，然后顺着“复杂中文--->简单中文--->简单英文--->复杂英文”的思路来组织语言。单词固然重要，但它绝对不能妨碍我们的思考和表达，更加不能为了用某个词而让我们的观点妥协了。在下文我会一个一个topic的分析，究竟我们需要什么样的词汇，怎么铺排这些词汇

Grammatical range and accuracy

uses a range of complex structures with some flexibility

frequently produces error-free sentences, though some grammatical mistakes persist

用最简单的中文理解就是：句式结构多样性和允许语法错误。请注意，这里的句式结构多样性没有写作的那样复杂。本人觉得在句子结构多样性方面，你可以着重从并列句，转折句，定语从句，状语从句（地点状语从句，时间状语从句），宾语从句，虚拟语气（特别是“if I was/were···,I would···”和“without···, I would”）,表语从句(例如：the reason behind this situation is that···.),被动语态等方面努力。请你尽量少用、甚至不要用强调句，主语从句，同位语从句等句型，因为这些句式太容易导致自己思维错乱和表达不清。其实说实在地，在悉尼大学上了三年的课，也没见多少教授喜欢运用复杂句型来讲课。简单句（主语+谓语+宾语）永远都应该是口语的主角。

至于常见的语法无非就是如下三种：没有区分名词单复数，没有注意动词单复数和时态，错用he和she。只要克服这三个最基本也是最最最主要的语法错误，老外就会默认你没有语法错误了。

Pronunciation

shows all the positive features of Band 6 and some, but not all, of the positive features of Band 8

Band 8

uses a wide range of pronunciation features

sustains flexible use of features, with only occasional lapses

is easy to understand throughout; L1 accent has minimal effect on intelligibility

Band 6

uses a range of pronunciation features with mixed control

shows some effective use of features but this is not sustained

can generally be understood throughout, though mispronunciation of individual words or sounds reduces clarity at times

b.Part 1+Part 2+Part 3

PART 1：这个阶段主要是一个让考生热身(warm-up)，让考官初步了解考生(gain first impression from candidates)的过程。这个部分的核心词是：description。考官想测试你一下

对客观事物的英文描述能力，也就是说(that is to say)，考官问的绝大数问题都是你的所见所闻，你要做的就是一五一十地罗列和陈述。简单来说，这部分的重点就是“说说家常，聊聊生活”。

PART 2：这个阶段开始处于一个过渡阶段，核心词是：description+explanation。卡片的设计都是从what, who, where, when过渡到how & why。很多烤鸭包括很多中国老师都认为，在这个section里面最为重要的就是回答卡片的最后一个问题，也就是explain。按照他们的逻辑，假如只顾着回答前面的what, who, when, where的问题而没来及说how & why，分数必定被拉低。事实是这样吗？实践是检验真理的唯一标准(practice is the sole criterion for testing truth)。在回答Part 2卡片题的时候都没来得及或者没答完最后那个问题就被考官打住了；但这不妨碍我拿到7分以上。所以我总结得出，重点不是你是否机械般地把题目回答完，而是你是否把所有的问题整合一个属于你的故事，整理出一个很清晰的脉络。简单来说，这部分的重点是“说说故事，聊聊感想”。

PART 3：这个阶段已经过渡到需要你的explanation了。这个部分毫无疑问是抢分的黄金机会，也是露家底的时候。如果说，part 2 topics还能事先准备的话，那么这部分的问题大部分都是即兴的，互动的，弹性的。要把这部分的题目提前准备，几乎不可能，或者说是，大海捞针(just like looking for a needle in a haystack)，事倍功半(get half the results with twice the effort)。这里的重点是解释说明。通常解释说明分为：举例子说明(use an example to illustrate)，分析前因后果(interpret the cause and effect)和纵向横向比较(compare in vertical and/or horizontal direction)。点不需要多，但一定要深入，合理，有逻辑。所以我认为这部分的重点是“说说道理，聊聊影响”。

Description Explanation

其实说了这么多都是纸上谈兵，关键要落到实处。所以接着呢，我打算具体到每个板块当中详细说明如何准备雅思口语。如果你想考好雅思口语，你想真正地提高英语口语，请你平时多一点用英语联想，多一点自言自语，多一点自问自答，多一点尝试用英语去回忆和复述你每一天的生活。有没有好的partners，有没有英语环境，有没有老外朋友等等这些要素都不是决定性的。关键是从这一刻起indulge yourself in English

以下内容并不是答案，只是给大家展示一个“从stories到topics”的联想过程，但是我觉得这个过程比背答案还要重要得多得多。但愿大家能在此找到共鸣(resonance)，唤起你们对生活的启发和感想(reflections)。如果你只想要答案的话，请你直接跳过这部分，我也不想浪费你的时间。

家庭生活篇

一说到家庭，肯定是由人和住所所构成，由感情和责任所牵引。这个不废话了，在这样一个定义域里，我们能联想多少个可能的线索你。以下为我的浮翩乱想（基本按照亲身经历+普世价值的思路）

家庭意味着什么？

幸福的-- happy

I will never have to worry about the issues of food and clothing

no matter what I want to pursue, they always financially as well as spiritually support me

they always share their life experience with me

they always provide me with the best growing environment

even they have troubles or encounter adversity, they always wear a warm smile on their face. Never let me worry about their personal affairs

温暖的-- warm

whenever I feel frustrated, they always give me a lot of words of encouragement;

I always obtain physical as well as spiritual support and encouragement from my parents;

they always give priority to concern about what I need;

宽容的-- tolerant

be tolerant of my faults;

always give me a chance to correct the mistakes I make;

I have never gotten a scolding (挨骂) from my parents;

they never feel disappointed with my poor performance in study;

there are no mistakes in the world, but only lessons;

to their minds, the more mistakes I make, the more progress I will achieve···

相互理解和尊重的-- mutual understanding and respect

we always treat each other in a respectful way

sometimes we may have a divergence of views in some typical issues, but this is not going to preventing us from drawing on collective wisdom and absorbing all useful ideas from each other although there is a generation gap between my parents and I, we still enjoy a harmonious family atmosphere

舒适的-- comfortable

I always enjoy the peaceful environment when back home from work or study

although my bedroom is not decorated with luxious ornament, it is always full of my happy memory

It is a place where I can forget about all the troubles I have and get rid of any annoying things

以上就是我对对于“家庭”的联想，其实还有很多，我就不一一列举了。平时在我们准备雅思口语的时候，我觉得吧，应该多做这样的联想，从一两个单词开始，尝试用英语去说明它的具体意义，尝试结合自己的亲身经历去描述一个深刻的内容。为什么要这样做呢？为的就是当我们在考试中遇到卡壳的时候，能够马上调动一两句“平时已经有深刻体会的、看起来common sense的、却又无懈可击”的话，尽可能让自己在夹缝中有充分的时间去思考，去调整，去组织语言。

接着，我们需要找到具体的载体来充实上面所说的“普世价值”，也就是我们要联系具体的人，物和事。

父亲(father)--工作(例如：work for the government, lawyer, doctor···)--严肃(serious, take everything seriously, not take/play a joke)--认真严谨(do everything based on rigorous standards)--对孩子要求严格(be strict with what I do)----望子成龙(hold high expectation for his child)--对孩子的不良行为很生气(be angry with his child's misbehavior 例如：沉迷电脑游戏indulge himself with computer games; 不做作业lazy in doing homework; 说谎tell a lie; 早恋puppy love····)--代沟(generation gap between father and son)--人生观不一样(have a divergence of outlook on life)--矛盾吵架(may easily quarrel with each other, even for trivial things)--出发点是爱孩子(all he does is for our own good)--有责任感(hold responsibility for the growing up of

his child)--做事认真，不怕困难，不轻易放弃(never easily give up no matter what he does; in his life dictionary, you cann't find the word "give up")--为我树立榜样(set a good example for me)--崇拜(admire him most)--激励我前行(stimulate me to progress and achieve my goal)--爸爸也需要孩子的照顾(we need take good care of him)--变老变弱(getting older and may easily suffer from chronic diseases)--我们即将出国，见面减少，因此有点愧疚(once I make a decision to go aboard, that means we cannot fuifill our own responsibilty in family care. Sometimes I feel sorry that I cannot spend more time in alleviating his heavy burden from family)--计划生育(one child policy, no sibling)--爸爸想念孩子(He miss me a lot even though he does not look like that)·········

母亲(mother)--家庭主妇(household lady)--学历不高(didn't receive higher education)--但为人体贴(considerate, thoughtful)--和蔼可亲的(amiable, affable)--勤劳的(industrious)--好厨师(the best cook)--熟悉各种菜式(be skillful in cooking different types of food)--用心(with great consideration)--善于搭配菜式(she is a expert in combining appropriate amount of meat and vegetable together)--好味道的(tasty, delicious)--健康的(healthy, wholesome)--总是为我提供良好的成长环境(always provide me with a good growing environment)--不让我操心家庭的大小事务(never let me worry about family affair)--无私的(selfless)--总是鼓励我(always support and encourage me)--只想我过得开心幸福(live a happy life)--出国后想念妈妈(miss my mum)--体会到生活有多么的不容易(it is the first time for me to realise how difficult to maintain a daily life)--自己要变得自立(become physically and psychologically independent)--学会关心别人(learn to show concerns for the people around me)--努力学习(study hard)--有自己的事业(stuggle for a promising future)--不让妈妈失望(never let her down)······

对应题目

Part1:关于家庭成员的问题(例如父母各自的工作)；关于cooking问题(谁负责煮饭，怎么煮，学会煮饭重要吗)；关于housework问题(平时谁负责打扫卫生，学会做家务对于孩子来说重要吗)

Part2: describe a family member，describe a person you admire most, describe an important advice，describe a movie(由于我不喜欢看电影，所以我会选择父亲这一角度为切入口，编一部电影叫做《MY FATHER AND I》-- 代沟)，describe your favorite song/ describe a song you heard in your childhood(世上只有妈妈好)，describe a change of life(出国后懂得关心父母)，describe an old person

Not really. I admit that those skills are helpful for them to draw. However, I think that ideas and thoughts (the way a child thinks) are more important than the skills itself.

But I don’t like those people judge others on fashions and appearances. Because sometimes appearance may tell a lie.

学习教育类

☆Did you like reading books when you were little?

It depends on what book it was.

It is worth learning.

What’s your favorite subject at school? Can you tell me something abo ut it?

my favourite subject is accounting. It is a subject that tells people how to classify different transaction and record them in the most efficient way.

In fact, it isn’t. you know, no matter what people do, they cannot avoid thinking about something in relation to accounting, like balancing benefits and costs, concerning about the tax issue.

☆Do you think people who major in your field can find a job easily when they graduate?

Yes I think so. As a matter of fact, regardless of different economic environment and different business structure, managers always need a qualified accountant to help them make financial statement, such as balance sheet, cash flow statement and profit and loss statement. Also, the managers require an accountant to cope with the tax issue and the auditing issue. Therefore, I think as long as you are qualified, you can easily find a job.

Do you prefer to study alone or to study with other students? / Do you prefer team work or working alone?

(Team work is more efficient and can really be more effective as well. But when I work alone it seems like I tend to be more focused. So I guess it just depends on what kind of work it is and what kind of people I work with :D)

It depends. If I have a big assignment, I prefer to study with other students. Under that circumstance, team work is usually more effective and efficient because we can share our own opinion and summarise some useful points. But if I am going to have a final exam, I prefer to study alone. I can become more focused and follow my review plan with any distraction

What kinds of tools or instruments you use at school?

(things like PCs, test tubes, projectors and digital recorders…)

commonly, we use computers, projectors, overhead, digital recorders, printing machine, copy machine and something like that.

How should children improve their handwriting? (They can imitate nice examples of handwriting before developing their own style. And of course they should practice more and try not to type everything...)
