雅思口語考的話題卡很多,特別是第二部分,分為人物類、物品類、地點類、及事件類等描述性話題。事件類的話題,只需要把一個小事件的前因后果描寫清楚就可以,可能對于考生來講,臨場發(fā)揮不是很難。但物品類、地點類的描述型問題,則不同,需要考生在考前要多積累素材。如果平時沒有積累到相應的話題卡,臨場發(fā)揮時會覺得無處下口。考生在備考的時候,這類話題的素材可以在網(wǎng)上維基百科搜到相應的英文介紹,但大多數(shù)是書面語寫出來的。如何把這些書面語轉(zhuǎn)化為地道的口語表達,是本篇文章要討論的。下面就為大家介紹修改書面語為口語的好幫手---套話和連接詞。
一.套話:
1. 評價考官所提問題
That’s difficult to answer, but (maybe)…
I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about…but perhaps…
Maybe I can answer your question by telling you about a personal experience I had.
That’s an interesting question…let me see. Well, I suppose that…
Yes, that’s a big issue.
2. 套話中的連接詞
Well,…
Actually,…
In fact,…
You see,…
You know,…
How shall I put it,…
Let me think for a second,…
Give me a few seconds,…
3. 換一種方式重述
In other words, I am…
And that means…
Let me put it another way,…
What I’m suggesting is…
All I’m trying to say is…
What I’m getting at is…
If I can rephrase that,…
Perhaps I should make that clearer by saying…
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say…
The point I’m making is that…
二.連接詞:
1. 表示首先/第一的連接詞:
First of all, …
The first thing I should mention is …
To begin with …
To start with …
For starters = For openers
For one thing…For another,…
…primarily because…
For starters=For openers 這是兩個非常的informal的表達;…primarily because…的意思是“首先是因為。。。”,
2. 表達第二,第三,第四個。。。觀點:
Also,…
Besides,…
…plus…
是個很口語化的表達,意思是“(除了。。),還有。。” 比如:
e.g. Beijing is a gorgeous (非常漂亮的) city, plus it has such an amazing history.
北京是個非常漂亮的城市,它還有非常令人贊嘆的歷史。
What’s more,… 其他的
Another point I could add is …
… too 也。。
…. as well.
In addition to that,… 除此之外
As well as this/that,…
As well as this/that 放在句首也經(jīng)常用來引出進一步的承接,是很常用的口語表達,大家可以多嘗試去用用。
3. 表示強調(diào)的連接詞
Most importantly,… 最重要的是
On top of that,…
On top of that…這個也很贊的,表示最關鍵的/最重要的是。。。
By the way,… 另外
想表示強調(diào)還可以用especially…, particularly, in particular這樣的表達。
如果你在羅列完后還想再總結(jié)一句結(jié)論conclusion,則可以參考以下的表達方式:
表示最后總結(jié)的連接詞:
All in all,…
In a nutshell,…
In short,…
So it’s no exaggeration to say that …(可以毫不夸張的說,。。。)
That’s pretty much it. 可以放在句末做結(jié)束語“我想說的就這些”
