對(duì)比!口語高分答案 VS 低分答案

How to speak higher-level English 高分答案 VS 較低分答案

In the examples below, 3 differences between the low and high level answers are:

1. The high level answers are a more natural style.
(其實(shí)這點(diǎn)說的，就是用一種更口語化，更Native的表達(dá))

2. The high level answers use more linking phrases.
(雖說口語沒有答偏題這一說，但是語句中的邏輯性還是需要的。太過混亂的邏輯會(huì)讓考官聽不明白你到底在說什么)

3. The high level answers are more detailed when describing or explaining something, (using reasons / examples / comparisons).
(高分的答案更具體，更詳細(xì)，不抽象。小伙伴們完全可以用舉例或者對(duì)比這種簡(jiǎn)單的手法，來給自己的口語表達(dá)添色。)

Examples:
Do you like your university?
Lower Level: Yes. My teachers are very good and I have lots of friends there.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：用詞和語句都太過簡(jiǎn)單，回答不夠有力。完全是較低分答案的”標(biāo)答”)
Higher level: Yes I do. I think my university's great, because I mean, firstly, the teachers there are all really good, you know, I've learnt a huge amount from them. And another thing I really like about my university is the friends I've made there.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：類似于I mean, you know 這類的詞組，并不難學(xué)。但是烤鴨們要切記，一定不能用過量。簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的去剖析細(xì)節(jié)，分?jǐn)?shù)就比籠統(tǒng)的一句話來的漂亮。)

How often do you watch TV?
Lower Level: Not often, because I prefer using the Internet.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：這個(gè)答案有進(jìn)步，也有不足。好的是，后面加來一句I prefer，并沒有單單說一個(gè)Not often。不足的是，對(duì)于Part 1而言，這類問題的回答仍是太過簡(jiǎn)短。建議3-4句話為佳。)
Higher level:Not that often actually. I mean, I probably only watch it about two or three times a week, basically because I prefer watching stuff on the Internet.

Do you prefer eating at home or eating in a restaurant?
Lower Level:I prefer eating at home because it's healthier than eating out.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：又一進(jìn)步—給出了原因。但是小雅哥想說，再往深入挖一點(diǎn)，再加一點(diǎn)口語化的詞匯，例如Simply Because這類詞組，給考官一個(gè)能給你更高分的 “臺(tái)階”. ？)
Higher level: I'd say I generally prefer eating at home, simply because the food I eat at home is a lot healthier than the food you get in most restaurants.

When was the last time you received a gift?
Lower Level: About five weeks ago.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：不用小雅哥說，相信大家也意識(shí)到這個(gè)回答太過簡(jiǎn)短了吧？口語亦是一個(gè)communication的過程，就算是考試，也千萬不要用這種answer來回答考官)
Higher level: Let me have a little think, um…… I suppose it must have been about five or six weeks ago, and it was some chocolate that a friend of mine gave me when he came over to my home for dinner (coz my friends all know that I'm a bit of a chocoholic!)

Would you like to move to another city in the future?
Lower Level:No, because I love my hometown.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：如此的答案，未免令人有一種 “冷艷” “無法深入交流”的錯(cuò)覺。展示不了你的口語能力，如何讓考官心服口服給你個(gè)高分？)
Higher level: No I wouldn't, the main reason beingthat I love my hometown, so if I moved somewhere else, I'm sure I wouldn't be as happy as I am living here.

Can you describe your home a little?
Lower Level:My home is big, for example we have a big living room. And um……We also have a good view because our flat is very high.
(簡(jiǎn)評(píng): 其實(shí)這個(gè)答案并不會(huì)得很低分。一般想要6分的同學(xué)完全可以這樣說。對(duì)于想要7分甚至于是更高的烤鴨們而言，explain more會(huì)更棒！)
Higher level: Yeah, sure. Well first of all, it's pretty big. For example, the living room is about three or four times the size of this room. And, um…what else… oh yeah, and another thing to mention is the view, because we live quite high up, on the twentieth floor, so we've got a really nice view of the city centre.
