雅思:考口语时说得太简单?试试完成时态吧!
在口语考试当中,有的烤鸭能够基本上保持流利度,基本准确运用自己学过的单词短语,却永远5.5,无法达到6分的目标。短期内又要参加下一次考试,想要系统提高发音水平是非常困难的,那么该怎么办?

——憋着急!从评分标准来看,占1/4的语法,也是一个比较简单的突破点哦!时态、语态、句型,可以运用的技巧很多,各位看官不妨从完成时态开始,仔细研究一番。
我们往往被告知,在雅思口语当中,越简单的答案,越能够得到考官的青睐。K.I.S.S(Keep it simple stupid)原则也深深为广大烤鸭认同。把考官当做一个6岁的孩子来和其聊天,也不失为一种将难题简化、深入浅出的极佳方式。但是,如果从头到尾用简单句——万年不变的一般现在时、主谓宾结构、主动语态,是很难刺激考官听觉的。这种simple,并不是keep it simple中的simple。Simple的正确打开方式:加入多样化的语法结构和表达方式。这并不意味着让答案变得complex,而是impressive and unique。

看完以上案例,各位烤鸭还觉得,用多样化的语法会让答案变复杂吗?有木有觉得,有变化的时态比起单一的时态形式更能够吸引听者(考官)的注意呢?特别是在下半场,考官接近睡眠状态或者饥肠辘辘时,有木有发现这些不一样的内容才能够刺激TA的听觉,让TA暂且忘记疲惫和饥饿——来认真和你唠嗑?
当然,仅仅从一个方面努力是远远不够的!!
想要用好多样化的时态并吸引考官的注意力,首先要保证基本时态不犯或者少犯错误。用反复的录音和练习来纠正低错;然后熟悉所有的考题(如果对话题不熟悉,却一味地追求语法的花样,也许会适得其反的!)。
总之,首先要认真备考,扎实刷题,规避语法错误。然后在熟悉话题和流利度达标的基础上,多积累多操练,提升语法的多样性,达到提分的效果。加油!
