最近新航道南京雅思培训机构老师和群里的学生做一对一的模考和学习计划的制定,考完后的模考总结非常贴切地反映出大家目前在备考口语考试的情况,总结起来如下:
1.自己背了三个月的素材,准备时倒背如流,但是一到考试就紧张到语无伦次,明明是题库刷了好几遍,内容都记得,但是考试中一问一答时就是想不起来,只有一个大概的方向想到哪里说哪里,没有回答结构。
2.我也知道口语考语法错误,我写作和阅读的时候都没有问题, 但是实战考试中就是控制不住,因为我把所有精力都放在keep talking上去了,顾及不到语法和发音了,哪怕意识到自己说的不对也来不及纠正了。
3.我之前总是很担心换题的问题,因为怕遇到自己没有cover的题目,但是这次模考都是我准备过的题目,还是因为紧张和节奏快而表现的很糟糕。
以上这些问题,大家有中招的么?我们同样来看一位群里的同学做的模考↓总结如下:
1.都是老题目我也都准备过,刷题刷的很熟悉,但是老师一问我没有准备过的题目我就开始慌(那Part3怎么办啊)。
2.流利度整体来说还是不错,但是我自己从来听不出来我很多词的尾音会加-t/-d的情况,只有老师纠音之后我再回去听才能够清楚地识别到。
3.我在备考中精力都放在content内容上,逐渐把他当成了一个Job interview;平时也没有太注意基本语法错误,而考试中一紧张就顾不上类似于I am love sth和I like live there这样的stupid mistake。
所以说,各位,几乎所有的同学都会这样去做:搜集题库——制作出答案——背下来背熟悉——考试的时候复述。但是这样的刷题模式能够帮助我们考试成功吗?万一有以下的问题呢?
从来就没有所谓的官方题库,因为考官可以根据这个topic灵活发问(part3中尤其是如此),从而达到考察语言能力的目的,分别是流利度(使用各式连接词和回答结构),词汇(less common words和replacement words), 语法(不犯基本语法错误和使用高级语法),发音(音标和单词重音准确,要有语音语调呈现出轻重读)。
平常如果没有方法和工具地离散刷题,考试中大脑很容易一片空白,平时背诵的单词,句子,语法点,发音点都完全使用不出来,最终体现的还是最基本的词汇和语法,对于连中文都答不出来的话题就只能硬着头皮中翻英,完全不知道自己说了什么。
那我们应该怎么去有效刷题呢?刷题的目的是什么?这真的是一个伪命题吗?
老师来教你真正有效和拿分的方法:TOP-DOWN结构法!
TOP:Language organization and structure 回答的结构,相当于盖房子的框架,让房子立起来:
DOWN:七分词汇表,对于常用的高分表达,我们给出在band-7这个级别八个方向的总结!分别是
emotion | health | relationship | career |
cost | efficiency | quality/personality | safety/stability |
配合模考的题目:
Tell me the advantages and disadvantages of reading electronic books. 我们迅速可以作答
surely, reading ebooks can be a good thing, since it saves money and we dont have to spend more money to buy books from bookstore; besides, it is time/labor-saving, especially when we are on the move; while conversely, if we stare at the screen all the time, we might become shortsighted; thats why there should be a balance.
如果这个会了,类似于下面的题目是不是也ok?pros and cons of
Children watching TV?
Students using smart phone?
... ...
我又接着问:
Who is more likely to be better at reading, boys or girls?
答案就变成了
the question lies in many factors like knowledge, experience, personality, reading skill and talents; and apparently, gender is not one of the main concerns; in other words, as long as they are interested and skillful, they will read well; otherwise, I dont think so.
我接着发问:
What is the difference between reading books and watching movies
掌握了结构就是一个语言组织的问题;比较类题目一定要回归到第一维的回答,就是简单的逻辑比较
they are quite different
for instance; unlike reading, people can have multisensory feeling when they watch movies, like sound, costume, acting skill and so on; surely the impression will be lasting.
similarly, reading sometimes is not as engaging as watching movies, since readers have to be concentrated on the storyline; while audiences don't have to be when they watch a movie, which is more relaxing.
and something like that.
next question
how has people's way of reading changed over the past years?
回答
people's way of reading has been changing all the time
for instance, in the past, people used to read in traditional ways, like reading paper books
but now, more people tend to read electronic books, since when they are on the move, they can carry a mobile library with them
I believe this trend will carry on in the future.
更多练习
而这样的结构在part3中只有六大种类,分别是
REASONS
LISTING
CHANGE
COMPARISON
PERSONAL OPINION
SPECULATION
新航道南京雅思培训机构老师在课上将会全部一一展现
因此,刷题要这么来↓
1.理解考官题型维度
2.利用题库作为练习,掌握题型的回答结构
3.总结所有的top,和背诵完毕down七分词汇表,考试中游刃有余,不去deep dive在内容上,从而注意到基本语法错误和发音问题。
口语高分一定有!
