如何体现更加地道的雅思口语第二部分

光华启迪英语组-薛老师

在雅思口语中,口语化不等于不正式或使用俚语。它的核心是 自然、流畅、像日常交流一样,而不是在背诵一篇写好的文章。考官希望听到的是一个思考着的人在讲述一个故事或观点,而不是一个学生在复述一篇范文。

关键对比:

• 书面化/背诵感:句子冗长复杂,用词生僻晦涩,逻辑过于严谨,语调平淡,没有停顿和犹豫。

• 口语化/自然感:句子长短结合,使用常用词汇和短语,有自然的停顿、重复、自我纠正,语调有起伏,充满交流感。

策略一:使用词汇短语 (Lexical Resource)

不要追求大词,要追求地道的小词和短语。

1. 使用填充词 (Fillers)

作用:给自己思考时间,让对话听起来更自然,表明你是在现场组织语言。

常用词:Well, You know, I mean, Actually, Honestly, Like (谨慎使用), Let me see, So...

示例:

The person I would like to describe is my high school history teacher.

Well, the person I'd like to talk about is actually my high school history teacher, you know?

(书面)我想描述的人是我高中的历史老师。(口语)嗯,我想聊的人呢,其实是我高中的历史老师,你知道吧?

2. 使用高频口语短语和词组动词 (Phrasal Verbs)

作用:这是英语母语者每天都在用的东西,是口语化的核心。

常用短语:

• kind of / sort of (有点)

• a lot of / tons of / a bunch of (许多)

• be into (喜欢)

• catch up with (赶上,叙旧)

• hang out (闲逛)

• get along with (相处融洽)

• check out (查看)

示例:

I greatly enjoy outdoor activities and frequently participate in them.

I'm really into outdoor activities, so I hang out in nature a lot.

(书面)我非常享受户外活动并且频繁参与。(口语)我超级喜欢户外活动,所以我经常去大自然里待着。

3. 使用强调词和感叹词

作用:表达真实情感,让讲述更有感染力。

常用词:Really, Absolutely, Definitely, Seriously, Oh my God, Wow

示例:

The view from the mountain peak was exceptionally beautiful.

Oh my God, the view from the top was absolutely stunning! I mean, seriously, it was breathtaking.

(书面)从山顶看到的景色异常美丽。(口语)我的天,山顶的风景简直美爆了!我是说,真的,让人叹为观止。

策略二:使用句式结构 (Grammatical Range)

避免全部使用完整、冗长的复合句。

1. 长短句结合

作用:节奏感强,突出重点,模仿真实对话。

示例:

Although the weather was not ideal on that day, which was cloudy and drizzling, we decided to proceed with our hiking plan because we had been looking forward to it for a long time.

The weather wasn't great that day. It was cloudy and drizzling a bit. But we still decided to go hiking. Why? Because we'd been looking forward to it for ages!

(书面)尽管那天的天气并不理想,乌云密布且下着毛毛雨,但我们还是决定继续我们的徒步计划,因为我们期待已久。(口语)那天天气不咋地。就是阴天,还有点下毛毛雨。但是我们还是去徒步了。为啥呢? 因为我们盼这天盼了好久了!

2. 使用反问句和设问句

作用:与想象中的听众互动,把独白变成交流。

常用句式:You know what? ...; Why? Because...; ..., right?; ..., isn't it?

示例:

That was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

That was one of the most memorable experiences of my life, you know what I mean?

(书面)那是我人生中最难忘的经历之一。(口语)那是我人生中最难忘的经历之一,你懂我意思吧?

3. 适当使用省略

作用:口语中经常省略主语、谓语等成分,使表达更简洁。

示例:

The concert was amazing. I have never seen such a good performance.

The concert was amazing. Never seen anything like it!

(完整)音乐会太棒了。我从未看过这么好的表演。(口语)音乐会太棒了。从没见过这么牛的!

策略三:组织逻辑 (Discourse Management)

不要用Firstly, Secondly, Finally,要用更自然的方式连接你的想法。

1. 用和缓的连接词替代生硬的连接词

生硬:Firstly, Secondly, Furthermore, Nevertheless

自然:So, Then, After that, And also, Anyway, Besides, Plus, Now...

示例 (描述一个事件):

Firstly, we arrived at the park. Secondly, we found a spot for picnic. Furthermore, we played frisbee.

So, we got to the park around noon. Then, we looked around and found a perfect spot for our picnic. And after that, we just threw a frisbee around for a while.

(生硬)首先,我们到了公园。其次,我们找了个地方野餐。此外,我们玩了飞盘。(口语)然后呢,我们中午那会儿到了公园。接着,我们四处看了看,找了个绝佳的野餐点。在那之后,我们就玩了会儿飞盘。

2. 讲故事时多用And和So

作用:这是真实讲故事最常用的两个词,能非常自然地推进叙事。

示例:

So I called my friend, and she said she was late, so I decided to just go in first, and actually it turned out to be fine.

策略四:声音表现 (Pronunciation)

你的语音语调是口语化的最后一块拼图。

1. 要有语调起伏

错误示范:用平铺直叙、毫无感情的机器人语调背诵。

正确示范:在提到惊喜时音调升高,在描述失望时音调降低,在强调关键词时重读。

And then I saw it... (声音放慢,制造悬念) the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen! (重读,音调上扬)

2. 要有自然停顿

错误示范:像赶火车一样不停顿地快速说完。

正确示范:在句号处停顿,在想到新点子前停顿(用填充词填补)。

I guess the reason why I like this place so much is... (停顿) well, it just feels like home.

3. 要有重音和连读

作用:这是流利度的关键。

示例:

• I want to -> 常连读为 I wanna (非正式但常用)

• I have got to -> I've gotta

• What do you think? -> Whaddaya think?

虽然不要求你完全掌握,但适当的连读能让你的口语听起来更流畅。

题目卡:Describe a place you visited that made a strong impression on you.

书面化/背诵式回答(需避免):

The place I would like to elucidate upon is the Louvre Museum in Paris, which I had the opportunity to visit last summer. It is an exceedingly renowned art museum housing an extensive collection of artistic masterpieces. Firstly, I was profoundly impressed by its magnificent architecture, which is a combination of classical and modern styles. Secondly, the multitude of artworks, such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, were extraordinarily awe-inspiring. Furthermore, the ambiance within the museum was one of serenity and intellectual stimulation. Consequently, this visit significantly broadened my artistic horizons and left an indelible mark on my memory.

口语化/自然式回答(应追求):

Okay, so the place that really impressed me was definitely the Louvre Museum in Paris. I mean, everyone's heard of it, right? But seeing it in person was just... wow.

So anyway, I went there last summer. The first thing that hit me was the building itself. It's this huge, gorgeous palace mixed with a modern glass pyramid – just incredible.

And then inside, you know, you've got all these famous paintings and sculptures. Obviously, I went to see the Mona Lisa. It was cool, but honestly, it's kind of small and there were so many people! But the real surprise for me was... I think it's called the Venus de Milo? That statue absolutely blew me away. I'm not sure why, but I just stood there staring at it for ages.

And the overall atmosphere was so calm and... well, inspiring. You know, being surrounded by all that history and creativity.

So yeah, in the end, that visit definitely made a huge impression on me. It totally broadened my perspective on art. I'd love to go back one day.

中文思路对照:

好了,那么那个让我印象特别深刻的地方肯定是巴黎的卢浮宫了。我是说,大家都听说过,对吧? 但是亲眼看到的感觉就是……哇。

反正呢,我去年夏天去的。第一个震撼到我的是建筑本身。它是一个巨大的、超美的宫殿,混合着一个现代的玻璃金字塔——简直难以置信。

然后呢里面,你知道,有所有那些名画和雕塑。肯定啦,我去看了蒙娜丽莎。挺酷的,但说实话,它有点小,而且人超多!但是真正让我惊喜的是……我想是叫断臂的维纳斯?那个雕像简直惊到我了。我也不知道为啥,但我就在那盯着它看了好久。

还有呢,整体的氛围非常安静而且……嗯,鼓舞人心。你知道,被所有的历史和创意包围着。

所以是的,最后呢,那次参观绝对给我留下了巨大的印象。它完全开阔了我对艺术的视野。我超想以后再去一次。
