雅思口語別"文縐縐"善用俚語能加分

很多考生錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為，為了在口語中拿高分，必須要有非常難的詞匯。其實(shí)雅思口語考試對(duì)于單詞的考查點(diǎn)著重在“合適”二字上，不要用一些文縐縐的書面語。過度的追求難度反而失去了口語考試交流的意義，會(huì)給考官產(chǎn)生一個(gè)負(fù)面印象。“俚語”的使用也是如此，死記硬背的“俚語”很容易被考官識(shí)別，效果適得其反。朋友間開玩笑使用“俚語”可以有助于調(diào)節(jié)氣氛，但并不適合出現(xiàn)在考試的場(chǎng)景中。
　　一時(shí)想不起某個(gè)詞怎么說，大部分考生的反應(yīng)就是卡在那里，甚至驚慌失措，勢(shì)必會(huì)影響之后的發(fā)揮。要記住，雅思口語考查的是考生的表達(dá)能力而非單詞的堆砌，面對(duì)這種狀況，最好的方法就是替換掉你不會(huì)的單詞，用其他的詞匯、短語、句子來解釋這個(gè)單詞，甚至可以徹頭徹尾地?fù)Q一個(gè)故事來說。
　　這樣傳遞給考官的印象就是你的句型多變，而且會(huì)根據(jù)不同的場(chǎng)合選用不同的表達(dá)；反之，一味地糾纏在某個(gè)單詞上躊躇不前，就是在給考官傳遞完全相反的信息，詞匯量不夠，同時(shí)表達(dá)生硬不夠流暢。

　　以下是實(shí)際生活中以及電影中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的實(shí)用俚語，如果同學(xué)能夠在雅思口語使用這樣的俚語你的語言就會(huì)更加地道，更加美麗。同時(shí)也是很精彩的亮分點(diǎn)。
