有多少同学梦想过在雅思口语考场上,一开口就让考官意识到你这个人不一般,发出“是个狠人”的赞叹。雅思口语中Part 1是大家最先向考官展示自己的环节,但由于时间限制又不能说得过多,那如何在第一句话就让考官眼前一亮,对你印象超好呢?今天我们就为大家准备了5组表达!
01关于喜欢的事物
Part 1中非常常见的一类问题就是,考生是否喜爱某种事物,比如:
Do you like music? Do you like art? Do you like social media? Do you like coffee?
相较于平淡的“Yes, I like it.“,同学们可以用下面这两个短语:
Ⅰ. Yes, I can’t get enough of it.
在使用的时候要注意,当问题中是问的复数,比如“Do you like books?”,记得切换成“Yes, I can’t get enough of them.”
Ⅱ. What I like most about it is
这是个更加复杂的开头,可以帮助大家自然地接上原因,举个例子:
Do you like science?
Yes, what I like most about it is it’s so interesting. For example, last week I read an article about solar panels(太阳能板) and how we can use them.
Ⅲ. I love that it allows me to
这同样也是一个很适合同学们拓展答案的开头,例如:
Do you like social media?
Yes, I love that it allows me to connect with family and friends at the press of a button.
02关于擅长的事物
Part 1考官还有可能会问一些关于考生能力以及擅长哪些事物的问题:
Are you good at cooking? Are you good at swimming? Are you good at playing sports?
当然,同学们可以回答“I am good/bad at it.”,不过这看起来似乎无趣了些,可以用下面的表达来替换:
Ⅰ. Yes, I have a knack for it
这里的“have a knack for”意思就是“be good/talented at”,打个比方:
Are you good at swimming?
Yes, I have a knack for it. (后面加上具体的细节拓展,比如自己的个人经历,贴合这个开头语即可~)
Ⅱ. No, I am hopeless at it.
这句就是针对自己不擅长的事情给出的回答
Are you good at swimming?
No, I am hopeless at it. (同样地,后面在利用细节信息进行拓展即可~)
03关于活动的频率
Part 1的问题都和考生的个人经历有关,所以考官也会自然而然地问到大家所做过的活动还有进行活动的频率。看几个例子:
Do you play football? How often? How often do you sing? Do you often go to parks?
提到频率,同学们第一反应应该都是“usually”、“sometimes”还有“never”等词,除了它们,还可以用下面这些短语丰富自己的表达:
Sometimes
Ⅰ. Yes, from time to time
Ⅱ. Yes, now and again
Ⅲ. Yes, every once in a while
例句:From time to time, I like to go fishing instead of going to work.
Usually
替换成:more often than not
例句:More often than not, I went shopping with my friends.
Never
替换成:I’m not in the least bit interested in
例句:For years, I wasn't in the least bit interested in opera.
04关于对事物的评价
还有一类问题是关于对事物的评价,比如:
Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather?
What’s your favourite kind of weather?
用了下面这些开头语,就可以让答案更加连贯,考官也更容易跟上考生的回答↓↓↓
Ⅰ. Without a doubt, ... 毫无疑问
Ⅱ. In all seriousness, ... 严肃地说
Ⅲ. To be totally upfront, ... 直截了当地说
用例句让同学们感受一下:
Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather? Without a doubt, I prefer cold weather because in the hot weather, if it’s sunny, my skins burns so easily.
05关于个人的选择
还有一类常见问题是问学生的个人选择还有对于未来的预测,比如:
Would you like to be famous?
Would you give a pen as a present?
针对这些问题可以说下面两句话:
Ⅰ. Yes, I wouldn’t think twice about ...
这句话的意思是:是的,我不会犹豫也不需要考虑。
例句:If they offered me a job abroad, I wouldn’t think twice about taking it!
Ⅱ. No, not for the love of money.
这句话的意思是——就算给很多钱,也不会选择去做的事情,回答的时候就可以先用这句话表明自己的态度,再跟上拓展的内容。
以上就是5组一开口就能让考官眼神都变了的表达,实用性高而且易于插入到自己的回答当中!最后还是要提醒大家一下,口语的地道表达积累再多,不能用到自己的回答中也是徒劳,所以记忆表达是一方面,还要多加练习多加回顾,才能灵活运用哦!赶紧说起来吧!
