1.學(xué)習(xí)雅思口語(yǔ)的好方法
1、我們要明確，英語(yǔ)音標(biāo)需不需要學(xué)習(xí)需要，但是不要死扣發(fā)音規(guī)則。對(duì)于大多數(shù)英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者而言，我們并不需要刻意追求英音美音，只要能夠發(fā)音清晰飽滿(mǎn)就可以了。每一套語(yǔ)言都有自己的一套發(fā)音體系，完整地學(xué)習(xí)一遍英語(yǔ)的48個(gè)國(guó)際音標(biāo)，對(duì)于英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)是大有裨益的，對(duì)于不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞也可以盡量嘗試拼讀。但是需要注意的是，在口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中我們不要死扣發(fā)音規(guī)則。與其花時(shí)間去背誦發(fā)音規(guī)則，不如花時(shí)間去模仿一小段母語(yǔ)人士的講話(huà)，可以是演講、可以是影視劇，甚至是歌曲。通過(guò)對(duì)鮮活語(yǔ)言片段的反復(fù)模仿，你的口語(yǔ)會(huì)在不經(jīng)意間迅速。
2、我們要選擇真正適合口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的材料
在備考雅思口語(yǔ)的過(guò)程中，就有同學(xué)去背雅思的閱讀文章，借此來(lái)練習(xí)口語(yǔ)。其實(shí)，這是典型的緣木求魚(yú)。我大學(xué)期間，也有同學(xué)每天抱著什么美文300篇背誦，結(jié)果寫(xiě)作倒是不少，可是口語(yǔ)仍然不見(jiàn)起色。這就是因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)有選擇對(duì)適合口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的材料。
2、反復(fù)操練了
告訴大家一個(gè)小竅門(mén)，就是用錄音機(jī)或手機(jī)等數(shù)碼產(chǎn)品，把自己的聲音錄下來(lái)，反復(fù)研習(xí)。
2.雅思口語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)法
雅思口語(yǔ)的除了大量的練習(xí)之外，很重要的一點(diǎn)是在練習(xí)中總結(jié)和反饋?zhàn)约撼霈F(xiàn)的錯(cuò)誤，并且加以總結(jié)讓自己的語(yǔ)言更加規(guī)范。根據(jù)官方公布的考試大綱，雅思口語(yǔ)有著具體的四大標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：即流利度、連貫性，詞匯量，語(yǔ)法準(zhǔn)確度以及發(fā)音。
雅思口語(yǔ)考察考生語(yǔ)法具體表現(xiàn)在，語(yǔ)法使用的準(zhǔn)確性以及多樣性。多樣性指的是考生能夠在口語(yǔ)表達(dá)中使用復(fù)雜句型結(jié)構(gòu)。相比簡(jiǎn)單句(通常只包含一個(gè)信息點(diǎn))，復(fù)雜句能夠包含個(gè)信息點(diǎn)。如：Right in front of the museum was an old castle, which was constructed in the 19th century, and where exhibitions of royal life are now held once a week. 此處可以看出，圍繞主語(yǔ) old castle，整句還包含了其方位，歷史，現(xiàn)作用這些信息點(diǎn)。
當(dāng)然，語(yǔ)法要求也不是指語(yǔ)法需要達(dá)到100%的準(zhǔn)確度。還有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)是考生對(duì)語(yǔ)言的“control”即控制力。如在口語(yǔ)7分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)描述中這樣寫(xiě)到：盡管出現(xiàn)少量語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，大部分句子是準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤的。語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤出現(xiàn)的“數(shù)量“并不是的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，重要的是，這些錯(cuò)誤在何種程度上影響到了與人的“交流”。
對(duì)此，官方也給出了相應(yīng)的建議來(lái)幫助考生。點(diǎn)：Be prepared 即準(zhǔn)備充分。面對(duì)一場(chǎng)考生，首先要了解的是整個(gè)考試形式，即雅思口語(yǔ)考試為考生于外籍考官一對(duì)一交流的形式。其次就是交流中，被問(wèn)到的問(wèn)題大致有哪幾類(lèi)型。如在Part 2中考生容易被問(wèn)及過(guò)去的經(jīng)歷，那么在這個(gè)speech中，語(yǔ)法的重點(diǎn)便是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)的正確使用，其中一些最基本的動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)變形需熟練 如go –went, is - was。同理，在Part 3中會(huì)問(wèn)到考生對(duì)某事件將來(lái)趨勢(shì)的看法，考生也需注意時(shí)態(tài)變化并使用將來(lái)時(shí)
3.雅思口語(yǔ)中的經(jīng)典語(yǔ)病
1. "Chinese people use trees as chopsticks." (拿樹(shù)當(dāng)筷子?這筷子也太大了吧......應(yīng)該是use trees for making chopsticks吧?由此可見(jiàn)雅思口語(yǔ)中準(zhǔn)確使用動(dòng)詞的重要性。)
2. "I think environmantal protection is essential but not so important." (典型的邏輯混亂......essential就等于very important，環(huán)保是至關(guān)重要但是不是那么重要的?......無(wú)語(yǔ)......)
3. "Without electricity, the world would become so dark that a person could not even see a hand in front of his face." (缺了至關(guān)重要的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)at night!這么說(shuō)的話(huà)古代人都是一直生活在伸手不見(jiàn)五指的黑暗中的嗎?)
4. "Watching TV is convenient and people can avoid traffic jam" (這又是什么邏輯?看電視和避免交通擁擠有什么關(guān)系?)
5. "I like writing because it is good for your health."
6. Modern ways of life brings people some healthy diseases. (疾病還有“健康的疾病”?貌似說(shuō)這句話(huà)的人想表達(dá)的是"健康方面的疾病吧"?那就直接用desease就可以了，因?yàn)樗械募膊《际恰敖】捣矫妗钡�，要么還有哪方面的?)
7. "As we all know, every advantage has its disadvantage." (......好深?yuàn)W......)
8. "The rate of net-cheating has boomed by 1.27% in the past 2 years." (說(shuō)這句話(huà)的人是雅思圖表作文沒(méi)學(xué)好。Boom=Increase rapidly，增長(zhǎng)1.27%算rapid嗎?應(yīng)該用climb或edge up。)
9. "The data is very astonished!" (“數(shù)據(jù)吃驚”?典型的沒(méi)有學(xué)好現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞的區(qū)別，應(yīng)該用astonishing-“讓人驚訝的”。)
10. "My father is a photograph......" (我爸爸是一張照片?這個(gè)強(qiáng)勁的......應(yīng)該是photographer。)
4.雅思口語(yǔ)中的常用俚語(yǔ)
1 、Be in the air 將要發(fā)生的事情
The feeling or idea that something new is about to happen or is going to change.
Example: From the arguments going on at the meeting, it seems that a change in policy is in the air.
2、 Clear the air 消除誤會(huì)

Example: We had a meeting with the workers, and I think we’ve cleared the air now.
3 、Cost an arm and a leg 極其昂貴
To be very expensive
Example: I love that fur coat. However, I don’t think I’m going to buy it because it costs an arm and a leg.
4 、A bad egg 缺乏道德的人

5.雅思口語(yǔ)part2開(kāi)場(chǎng)怎么說(shuō)
雅思口語(yǔ)Part2要求各位考生在1分鐘的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間之后，進(jìn)行2分鐘的陳述。而不少考生在陳述的時(shí)候不太注重開(kāi)場(chǎng)白，甚至完全沒(méi)有說(shuō)開(kāi)場(chǎng)白而直接進(jìn)入描述，這樣不僅使陳述聽(tīng)起來(lái)不完整，也會(huì)在程度上影響到最后的分?jǐn)?shù)。開(kāi)場(chǎng)白的目的，就是為了引起雅思口語(yǔ)考官的興趣，和雅思口語(yǔ)考官建立積極的關(guān)系，建立可信度，同時(shí)也能概括主干部分的內(nèi)容，讓整個(gè)雅思口語(yǔ)Part2陳述聽(tīng)起來(lái)更為自然。
一、 提到雅思口語(yǔ)考官，使之與話(huà)題聯(lián)系在一起
在談到“Describe a hobby you have”這一話(huà)題時(shí)，一位考生是這樣開(kāi)場(chǎng)的：
Today I am going to talk about collecting postcards—a hobby that is both fascinating and financially rewarding. I would like to explain the basic kinds of collectible postcards, why they are so valuable, and how collectors buy and sell their cards.
而另一位考生則給出了不一樣的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白：
It’s Saturday morning, and you are helping clean out your grandmother’s house. After working a while, you stumble upon a trunk, open it, and discover hundreds of old postcards. Thinking about getting to your driving lesson on time, you start tossing the cards into the trash can. Congratulations! You have just thrown away a year’s tuition.
對(duì)比之后，我們很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)，第二位考生的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白效果比位考生的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白好，因?yàn)樗谇懊嬗幸欢纬薪酉挛牡拿枋?這不僅不讓后面的內(nèi)容顯得突兀,還地將雅思口語(yǔ)考官融入進(jìn)來(lái)，抓住了考官的興趣點(diǎn)，使之后主干部分的陳述更為順利。
二、 強(qiáng)調(diào)雅思口語(yǔ)話(huà)題的重要性
在談到“Describe a traffic jam you had experienced before”這一話(huà)題時(shí)，一位考生的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白值得大家借鑒：
Traffic jams are more than a nuisance. They are a world wide economic problem. In Guangzhou alone, they cost 12 million yuan each year. In major U.S. cities, they are responsible for more than 21 billion liters of wasted fuel and 68 billion dollars in lost productivity. Traffic jams will soon cost the British economy more than 20 billion pounds sterling a year.
這個(gè)開(kāi)場(chǎng)白地運(yùn)用了數(shù)據(jù)，強(qiáng)調(diào)了交通堵塞在經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題中扮演的重要角色，有效地吸引了考官的眼球。
