在
雅思考试中,我们究竟应该怎么做才能充分展现自己的词汇,抓到分数呢?接下来我就烤鸭们对于
雅思口语中词汇应用方面的一些问题做出分析。
语言是交流的基础,是表达个人意图最直接的方式。世界上多个文明孕育衍生出多种语言,而不论何种语言都有它的构成基础,就是词汇。事实上,
雅思词汇一直是很多烤鸭们会呼吸的疼!一些考生碰到某些话题有很好的想法和思路,对于应该说一些什么样的话也有很好的把握,但是由于自身词汇量的不足,感觉难以表达,巧妇难为无米之炊。
另外,还有一些学生有这样的疑问:怎样在
雅思口语中展现自己的词汇量呢?要多用一些难词和大词么?还是找一些别人都想不到的生僻词来用?
实际上,在日常生活中,我们并不会使用大量的词汇。那么,在准备
雅思口语相关词汇的时候,我们的问题到底在哪里?在
雅思考试中,我们究竟应该怎么做才能充分展现自己的词汇,抓到分数呢?接下来我就烤鸭们对于
雅思口语中词汇应用方面的一些问题做出分析。
横向做加法,避免描述的单一空洞性。
在平时的
雅思教学过程中,会发现其实不是学生不会表达,而是他们回答的内容非常的简单抽象。例如在回答这个问题: Where do you live, in flat or a house? 同学们往往会说: I live in a flat. It's big. 而这样的答案肯定是不会受到考官的欢迎的。其实我们所要做的很简单,就是把内容具体化--I live in a flat which is pretty large. To be more specific, it's about 150 square meters, with 3 bedrooms and a spacious living room. 我们不难发现这样的答案中几乎没什么生词,表达上没什么难点,唯一要做的一点就是描述具体。
纵向做替换,避免单词的单调性。
另外一个制约学生
雅思得分的因数是考生会反复使用同一个单词,不会进行单词的同义替换。众所周知,
雅思考生,不管是
雅思听力,阅读,写作还是
雅思口语,它共同侧重的一个能力就是同义转换。因此我们就得遵循它的潜规则,投其所好,才能拿到自己想要的分数。以下我例举了一些常用的
