Vicky发现,在雅思口语考试中,尤其是part 1部分,有很关于多yes/no的问题,比如:
Do you have a favorite pair of shoes?
Do you enjoy spending time in natural places?
Do you enjoy writing by hand?
Do you have any favorite colors?
以及最最最常考到的:
Do you like going shopping?
这些问题看似很简单,却很容易答错,还有很多孩纸气急败坏地问Vicky,就答个yes or no,咋就那么多讲究?且听Vicky细细道来此类问题到底该如何回答!
先来看看中国考生最常见的错误:
问题1:Do you watch TV very much?
错误回答1:
“I rarely watch TV because I'm so busy with my work.”
诊断:
没有直接回答问题
错误回答2:
“Because I'm so busy with my work, I rarely watch TV.”
诊断:
在回答 Yes/No 问题时, 避免用“Because”开头
正确回答
“No, I don’t. I rarely watch TV because I’m so busy with my work.”
“No, I don’t because I’m so busy with my work.”
“Not really, no. I rarely watch TV because I’m so busy with my work.”
问题2:Do you like basketball?
错误回答:
Yes, I like basketball.
诊断:
口语考试中尽量不要原封不动重复题目
正确回答
Yes, I do like it but, at the moment, I don'thave much time to play it or watch it on TV. (The word 'do' is spoken with strong word stress.)
什么样的答案才是考官喜欢的高分答案呢?
回答这种Y/N的问题时,答案可以分成两个part
(两段式)
直接 正面的回答问题
后面接上必要的相关信息,可以是原因,解释,转折,等等。
正如Vicky在上文中提到的错误答案一样,同学们一定要记住 开头不要先解释原因,要先正面回答问题;以及不要原封不动的重复题目作为你的回答。
好了,Vicky说了这么多,你们心里也有数了。现在让我们一起来看看什么样的答案分别能的几分。
Q
Do you like your job?
Answer a: No.
4分答案
同学你是认真的么?真的不在多说点什么嘛?
Answer b: No, I don't.
5分答案
这个答案也跟没说差不多,不管听没听懂,都可以这么说嘛,考官凭什么给你高分。
Answer c: No, I don't. It's too stressful, the working hours are too long – about ten hours a day – and the pay's much too low. I really want to find a better job.
6-7分答案
二段式用的不错,后面给出了相关信息,解释了为什么不喜欢。但是仅仅用了No来表达否定。还差点意思。
Answer d: No, I don't, to tell you the truth. There's virtually nothing I like about it. For example, it's too stressful, the working hours are too long – about ten hours a day – and the pay's much too low. So, as you can imagine, I really want to find a better job.
7-8分答案:
终极答案,该有的都有啦~同学们可以学学这种表达,可以看出其实重点还是在答案的第二部分。当然,前提是点单的第一部分没有问题。
对比一下你自己的答案,你能的几分?
几种说Yes or No 的方法
但是!同学们需要注意的是,这种简短回答在整个口语考试中最多最多也就用1次,否则拿了低分,别怪Vicky没提醒你们哦!
加上了副词显得更生动了:
经常用到的副词有:really, certainly, definitely, probably, possibly, usually, often, frequently, sometimes, never 等等。
这种表达就更加的口语化了,就好像东北人说:”那必须滴!“一样生动,画面感十足有木有?
常用到的表达:
“Certainly!” (“Certainly not!”)
“Definitely!” (“Definitely not!” )
“Of course!” (“Of course not!” )
“Naturally!”
“Not really.”
“Not exactly.”
“Not at all!”
“Not in the least!”
“Very much so!”
“I suppose so.” (“I suppose not.” )
“I guess so.” (“I guess not.” )
“I imagine so.”
“It depends.”
“I'm not really sure but I imagine/guess/suppose so.”
