答好雅思口语Part3, 关键要有很强的论证性,因为Part3题目的特点就在于泛围大而广,并且具有一定的深度。比如说Part3有这样一题:How to keep the balance between developing the tourism industry and protecting the environment? 可见,要想在Part3有较好的表现,掌握一定的论证原则是必要的。
原则1 使用连接词,保证逻辑性
区分英语说写好坏的标准之一就是连接词的使用,一个英语学习者会不会使用连接词,将直接决定其英语的地道程度和逻辑性,写作中如此,口语中更是这样。不少学生不习惯使用逻辑词,是因为在汉语中,有时并不需要使用太多的逻辑词。例如,汉语中我们常说“你去,我就去。”但英语中一般不说“You go, I go.”而是要加入适当的假设连接词,说成“If you go, then I will go.”,显然更符合英语的表达习惯。可见,要想提高雅思口语Part3的论证性,就要从转变汉语中不常使用连接词这一语言习惯做起。专家总结认为,英语中的连接词可分为两大类:句子内部连接词和句群之间连接词。
(1)句子内部连接词
1)类比和对比:although, though, even though, while, whereas
2)原因和结果:since, so that, because, as
3)时间:after, when, until, whenever, before
4)可能性:if, as if, whether, unless
5)地点:wherever, where
6)方式:how
(2)句群之间连接词
1)逻辑顺序:firstly, secondly, thirdly, next, last, finally, in addition, furthermore, also, at present
2)重要性先后:most/more importantly, most significantly, above all, primarily, it is essential
3)类比和对比:similarly, likewise, also, however, on the other hand, on the contrary, in comparison, in contrast
4)原因和结果:the cause of, the reason for, as a result, as a consequence, therefore, thus, consequently, hence
5)强调:undoubtedly, indeed, obviously, generally, admittedly, in fact, in particular, especially, clearly, importantly
6)递进:and, in addition, additionally, furthermore, also, too, as well as
7)举例:for example, for instance, that is, such as, including, namely
原则2 发音到位,保证清晰性
发音,不仅是雅思口语的重要评分标准之一,更是保证英语口语清晰性的关键因素。这里要注意的是,发音和口音不同,口音问题主要是由于本国母语或地方方言的影响而造成的语言习惯,并不影响雅思成绩和正常的口语交流。但发建议考生们需要掌握英语中的六大发音原则:
(1)长元音尽量拉长 短元音急促有力
发长元音时,长度要比短元音长一拍,比如以下例句中的fool, please, feel, free, call。短元音则需急促有力,如例句中的is, full, busy。
1)I think Tom is a fool.
2)My full name is Li Ming.
3)Please feel free to call me, I am not busy.
(2)双元音饱满到位
发好双元音,口形非常重要。尽量用你的口形来夸张发音,争取在较短的时间内用饱满、到位的口形把双元音读完,如以下例句中的hate, late, there, smoke, without, fire, take, break。
1)I hate being late for work!
2)There is no smoke without fire.
3)Let’s take a break.
(3)咬舌头
分析发现,有不少学生发[θ]和[ð]时,没有注意到这个原则,养成了不好的发音习惯,希望在平时的训练中多加练习,特别是以下例句中的thirty, three, thousand, this, than, that, thank等词。
1)Thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three.
2)This is better than that.
3)Thanks a lot.
(4)卷舌头
与发[r]音不同,发[l]音时舌头应轻触上齿和齿龈的交界处。以下例句中的right, wrong, crazy, spirit包含了[r]音;tell, likely, Lucy, will, library, learn, English包含了[l]音。
1)I can tell right from wrong.
2)It’s not likely that Lucy will be at the library.
3)He has a crazy spirit in learning English.
(5)咬嘴唇
发[f]音时,上齿应轻触下唇,气流从口中自然流出,如以下例句中的life, have等词;发[v]音时,上齿同样轻触下唇,但稍微紧一些,使气流受到阻碍,产生浊化的效果,如以下例句中的give, advice, very, arrive, five等词。
1)Can you give me some advice?
2)He lives a very good life.
3)You have to arrive before five.
(6)闭嘴巴
发[m]音时,双唇紧闭,气流从鼻腔中自然流出。在练习中,要特别注意以下例句中employee, time, swim, system, complicated的[m]音。
1)My employees make me happy most of the time.
2)Melinda might be able to swim one more mile.
3)The system is more complicated than I thought.
原则3 注意语法,保证准确性
语法不是万能的,但没有语法又是万万不能的。雅思口语虽然不需要像写作那样特别重视语法的准确性,但是掌握并熟练运用一些基本的语法,能保证我们在回答Part3问题时的准确性。以下是回答雅思口语Part3问题时需要特别注意的语法知识点:
(1)时态:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、将来进行时、完成进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时、将来完成时、完成进行时
