雅思口语：多细节拓展思路

 造成答案过短的主要原因之一就是“只回答”考官所提的问题。而是事实上，考官提问的目的并不“只想听”问题的答案。在基本答案的基础上，考生们需要主动给出更多额外信息，因为考官想听到更多“语言能力”的展示。

 

所以大部分的题目的核心拓展思路为：Direct answer + X

 

1. X= 5WH+ How Often

 

这个方法基本就是“自问自答”，把与核心内容相关的各方面信息主动提供给考官，然后连缀成完整的答案。下面我们来看一下part1和part2的一些真题演示。

 

Part 1真题：Have you travelled recently?

 

思路演示1 ：Yes, I have. (Direct answer)Last month(when) I went to Hong Kong(where) with my parents(who). We had a great time at the Disney Land and went shopping，too.(what)

 

思路演示2： No，I haven’t(Direct answer). I’m been busy with my studies(why).But after the exam(when), my parents and I(who)are going to Hong Kong and we would like to go to Disney Land and go shopping, too. (what)

 

Part 2真题：Describe a library that you have used.

 

You should say:

 

where it was

 

what type of library it was

 

what you used the library for

 

what you liked and /or disliked about this library

 

and explain how useful it was for your studies or research.

 

思路演示：“where it was”: on campus(Direct answer)

 

(Where)： It was next to our teaching building of English Department

 

(When) : It was built 50 years ago when our school was established.

 

(Who) : Most of the students liked to go there as well as the teachers

 

(How often): I almost went there everyday especially around exam time.

 

我们可以看到，这个方法简单易行，是拓展思路最基本的方法，只要具备基本的语法功底就可以轻松做到。但在part2中笔者建议考生们不要使用“过量”，因为part2有严格的时间限制，如果每一条point都补充很详细的信息很有可能会遗漏卡片上的重要信息，甚至会让考官觉得你“跑题”，所以适可而止就可以了。

 

2. X= examples

 

在基本答案之后，考生可主动引入例子。我们先来看一下常见真题的演示：

 

Part 1 真题： What's your favourite type of music?

 

思路演示： Well，I’m a big fan of Modern Popular Music(Direct answer), you know, like Hip-Pop, Rap¹, Rhythm and Blues² , Rock ‘n roll, things like that…

 

Part 3 真题：What kinds of films do people in China like to watch?

 

思路演示：Well, they watch a broad range of movies, in fact(Direct answer). For instance, men prefer Action &Adventure , Martial³ Arts and Romantic Comedy. But women are more into Romance⁴ and Romantic Comedy. And children are quite interested in Science Fiction and Animated⁵ Cartoons…

 

你会发现，如果你对所涉及话题比较熟悉，就应该主动找机会采取举例子的方法，把之前积累的词汇作为“examples”展示出来，这是展示“vocabulary”的能力，化被动为主动向考官拿分的好方法。

 

3. X= feelings and opinions

 

我们都知道在口语part1和part2中问题都是围绕考生的personal details来设置的，所以可随时加入自己的感受与观点，我们先来看一下常见的真题的演示：

 

Part 2真题：Describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you in your education.

 

You should say:

 

where you met them

 

what subject they taught

 

what was special about them

 

and explain why this person influenced you so much.

 

思路演示：“what subject they taught”

 

He taught us maths in the second year of middle school. Well, I have to say that, before I had Mr. Chen as my teacher, maths had always been so boring and difficult to me that I always slept during class, it was my nightmare⁶, you know. And I guess that is why I didn’t like him at the beginning…

 

通过以上的例子我们可以看到，在表达中随时加入感受与观点，不仅可以轻松充实卡片的内容，而且可以使内容更加生动和个性化，避免给考官留下呆板无趣的印象，对最终的分数有很积极的影响。
