《百師思享匯》是分校推出的原創(chuàng)欄目之一,每期將推出啟德考培資深教師的原創(chuàng)文章,內(nèi)容涵蓋最新考情分析、學(xué)術(shù)調(diào)研、教學(xué)心得體會等,引導(dǎo)學(xué)員運用科學(xué)有效的備考方法,幫助學(xué)員在考試中取得高分!
如果要問各位烤鴨們雅思聽說讀寫最難提高的一科,或者說發(fā)揮最容易不穩(wěn)定的一科是什么,相信很多烤鴨都會說是口語!
閱讀是中國學(xué)生的傳統(tǒng)強(qiáng)項科目,聽力雖然部分同學(xué)會弱一些,但是聽力和閱讀是輸入型科目,考試也都是客觀題,所以相對而言比較好提高,技巧性也強(qiáng)一些。
然而另外兩個輸出型科目--寫作和口語就是大家比較頭疼的科目。
人家寫作雖然不容易,但是起碼可以提筆前好好構(gòu)思一下,一些單詞會寫不會讀的,也是可以“蒙混”過關(guān)的,然而!我們的口語,是一個聽說讀三位一體的科目!
(“讀”體現(xiàn)在part2 Cue Card)如果一時半會語塞,還要面對考官熱情(leng mo)的眼神注視……
咱們碰到考官“啞口無言”,原因有如下幾個:
1. 聽不懂或者沒能理解考官的問題
2. 知道自己要說什么,但是不知如何遣詞造句,詞匯積累不夠,語法混亂
3. 對考官的提問只能說出簡單的Yes/No, 不知還可以說些什么
我現(xiàn)在就從從第三點入手,也就是大家很痛苦的,不知如何拓展話題的角度入手,解決你們的痛點!
這里就要隆重介紹一下Lydia老師的RED原則啦!首先 “ RED” 是如下三個單詞的首字母縮寫:
R-Reason 原因
E-Example 例子
D-Details 細(xì)節(jié)
是不是非常好記呢?準(zhǔn)確來說,一個問題的充分的回答一般是由Viewpoint觀點 + 3大拓展話題要素: Reason 原因、Example 例子、Details 細(xì)節(jié)組成的。
下面我們具體結(jié)合part1和part3的實例來講講怎么用這個RED原則:
part1:viewpoint + 1-2個因素
由于part1的回答不宜過長,建議大約2-3句,不超過4句話為好。不過這個也只是一個參考,因為每位同學(xué)的句子長短都是不一的。
所以就建議在考官提問后,先簡單回答(viewpoint)后,解釋原因(Reason), 或者舉一個例子example, 或者是對觀點的進(jìn)行一些細(xì)節(jié)的(details)補(bǔ)充。如果句子都比較精簡的話可以用上2個因素。
下面舉例子說明:
01
一般疑問句
Question: Do you like to play sports? (part1 經(jīng)典問題)
對于這個問題,你會怎么答呢?為了給考官一個你活潑可愛又喜歡運動的形象,你一定是馬上吐出一個“Yes!” 然后接下來呢?你看著考官,考官看著你……
即使你不說,人家也會瘋狂追著問你:Why? What’s your favourite sports?
所以逃不掉一定得拓展自己的回答的!
所以呢,表明完自己愛運動后,大家可以說些什么呢?你是不是可以試著說說自己為什么喜歡運動?運動給帶來了什么好處?或者你一般都做些什么運動呢?然后又是一般運動多久呢,在哪里運動呢,跟誰?
依照這個思路,這里給大家?guī)讉€參考的回答:
Question: Do you like to play sports?
Answer1:
Yes, certainly (VIEWPOINT). Playing sports is a good way to burn calories, build up strength and more importantly, to keep healthy/fit (REASON).
Answer2:
Yes, certainly (VIEWPOINT). I do many different kinds of sports, such as basketball, football and swimming (EXAMPLE).
Answer3:
Yes, certainly (VIEWPOINT). I usually play badminton (EXAMPLE) with my friends once a week (DETAILS), and I think it is a good way to keep fit and socialize (REASON).
有的同學(xué)暗戳戳地想著,要是我說 “No”, 說我不喜歡運動,是不是就堵住了考官,他接下來沒法問了,萬事大吉一了百了了嗎!
不!(太天真了)
考官依然有辦法繼續(xù)追問你why的喔?。?/span>下面給不愛運動的烤鴨兩個參考回答:
Answer 4:
Well, no, I am not a big fan of sports (VIEWPOINT). Actually, I am not very sporty and I feel extremely tired and uncomfortable after exercising (REASON).
當(dāng)然也可以不那么消極啦:
Answer 5:
Well, actually, I am not very sporty (VIEWPOINT), but I do go swimming at least twice a week (EXAMPLE/DETAILS). I like to keep in shape (REASON).
上過我們啟德班課的同學(xué)們是不是覺得Answer 5有點耳熟呢?沒錯了,這段話取自我們中級段班課聽力第一節(jié)課的內(nèi)容喔。看來聽力和口語是非常不可分割的!
02
特殊疑問句
Question: Do you prefer tea or coffee?
(2019年5-8月季度 新話題)
茶和咖啡我都愛呢!這里L(fēng)ydia老師替愛喝茶的寶寶寫了參考回答,愛咖啡的同學(xué)也可以仿照這個思路,自己準(zhǔn)備自己的回答哦。
Answer 1:
I love/prefer tea (VIEWPOINT). Basically, I am into various kinds of tea, such as black tea, green tea and Oolong (EXAMPLE). I can’t imagine a day without tea!
Answer 2:
I love/prefer tea (VIEWPOINT). China has a long history and tradition of drinking tea (REASON) so I am used to having a cup of Oolong tea after a heavy meal every day (DETAILS/EXAMPLE).
part3:viewpoint+ 2-3個因素
Part3 的提問一般跟part2相關(guān),而且問得更廣泛,可能有些問題跟part1相似,但是會從你個人身上拓展到整個社會現(xiàn)象。
一般part3的回答思路會跟Part1相似,但是一般要拓展更多,所以建議多分析原因,輔助例子和細(xì)節(jié)描述,也就是觀點之后,用上2-3個因素來拓展。
01
一般疑問句
Question: Do you think physical shops will disappear in the future?
在網(wǎng)上 “買買買”已經(jīng)是我們的日常了,所以有不少人會擔(dān)心實體店以后會不復(fù)存在。 因為網(wǎng)上購物優(yōu)點實在太多了。
Answer 1:
Yes, I do think so (VIEWPOINT). Since online shopping offers people greater convenience, cheaper price and possibly better products, I would say customers will no longer visit physical shop (REASON). Actually, there has already been a downward trend of physical shops closing down all over the world in recent years (DETAILS/ EXAMPLE).
但是有的人認(rèn)為,實體店還是有它的意義的,或者說有一部分實體店是很難被網(wǎng)店取代的。
Answer 2:
Well, I may say no (VIEWPOINT). Because I think physical shops would function in their own ways (REASON). For example, even though it is very convenient to shop online, people can not try their clothes or shoes on (EXAMPLE 1).
Besides, some shops can not be replaced by the online ones, like barber’s shop or cafes where people will go there for their services and enjoy the atmosphere (EXAMPLE 2).
02
特殊疑問句
Question: Why do people tell lies?
原來雅思考官竟然會問這么直擊人心的問題呀!
是不是聽到這個話題,突然就當(dāng)場愣住,停下來思考人性了?哈哈其實不用想得那么深奧,越“接地氣”的思路越可以幫你在考場緊張的情況下想出回答。
一般來說,撒謊很多時候是為了掩飾,可能是掩飾自己的過錯,也可能是隱藏自己不那么完美的一面。這個時候,就需要給考官舉一些小“栗子”,你的論述會更有理有據(jù)呢。
Answer 1:
Well, I think different people tell lies for various reasons (VIEWPOINT).
For one thing, they may try to cover their mistakes (SUPPORTING IDEA 1). For example, if a husband lied to his wife because he cheated on her, or a student told the teacher that his or her dog ate his homework rather than studying (EXAMPLE 1).
For another, some people lie just because they try to boast for vanity reasons (SUPPORTING IDEA 2) . For instance, on social media, some people build a fake but attractive profile in order to attract attention (EXAMPLE 2).
Answer 2:
Personally, I would say a lot of people want to boast about themselves or gain benefits from telling lies (VIEWPOINT). For example, on social media, some people build a fake but attractive profile in order to attract attention or gain profits (EXAMPLE 1). Speaking of getting benefits, merchants tend to exaggerate the function of their product to get more customers (EXAMPLE 2).
part2:盡量用全3個因素
Part2 我們一般是按照提示的小問題來整理自己的思路的,所以Part2我們不會太專門去注意用“RED原則”,但是實際上這些小問題也是對應(yīng)了我們的拓展話題三要素的。我們來抽取一個cue card分析一下:
Describe an old person who is interesting. You should say:
who the person is;
how you knew this person;
what you do with this person and explain why you think this person is interesting.
其實小問題里的:
1) “Who the person is ”:可以說是對應(yīng)了“RED原則”里的Details, 大家可以在這里說一下這位老人跟你是什么關(guān)系,他今年多少歲了,可以來個簡單的外貌描寫,或者說一下他是做什么工作的。
2) “how you knew this person”: 這個問題比較靈活,可以是歸到上一個小問題里(假設(shè)這位老人是你的親人),也可以歸到下一個小問題,也就是你和這位老人可能是因為什么事情認(rèn)識的,也可以是一起共事過。所以這里既可以是Details, 也可以當(dāng)作是Example.
3) “what you do with this person”: 可以說是對應(yīng)了“RED原則”里的Example, 你可以舉例說明跟這位老人一起做過什么事情。
4) “why you think this person is interesting”: 既然是問Why, 那就是對應(yīng)Reason了。
最后,我們小結(jié)一下, “RED原則”是適用于雅思口語回答的所有部分的,但是應(yīng)用得比較好的應(yīng)該是Part 1 & 3。
關(guān)于口語的應(yīng)對方法,同學(xué)們都get到了嗎?如果大家想了解更多關(guān)于口語的拓展話題,可以留意我們學(xué)校的Lydia老師的課堂哦~
