我们都知道part1是雅思口语的开场部分,是能够给考官留下好的第一印象的“开场白”,如果能够在这个部分一上来就有出彩的表现,对于整个分数的提升是非常有助益的。
而事实上,很多同学在part1部分总是会陷入无话可说,找不到合适的表达结构,或者表达内容和形式总是觉得趋于平淡的问题。基于多年的口语教学实践,我总结了十大part1的超实用方法合集。
01 RED原则,学会有理有据的说话
核心点: 有理有据是YYDS
针对Do you like这样的问题,可以采用RED原则进行回答:
Reason: mental or physical
从心理和身理两个层面寻找原因,用于对人的影响
Example: when, where, who
只要任意一个具体的细节,就是例子。例子是对原因的支持
Description: the most
通过一个“最”什么,展现特点。“最”是对例子的点缀
02时态的变化,要主动去体现
核心点:主动嵌入
我们知道时态是重要的语法考察点,但是作为输出类的口语,就需要主动进行输出和变化,展示给考官。比如可以去主动去使用:
I've been thinking that....
我一直在想
I've been studying/working in XXX for XXX years
我在XXX已经学习/工作了XXX年了
When I was a child, I .... , but now, ....
我小的时候......, 但是现在....
Well, I've never thought about that before, ....
好吧,我没有想过这个,...
03变换主语的选择,连续的句子句型不重复
核心点:连续技,保证开头不一样
我们可以来看一个例子:
Do you like your major / this subject / this activity?
Version 1:
I can gain some useful knowledge,
I can make many friends from different backgrounds,
and I can get a lot of fun and inspirations.
但如果我们改动一下,就可以有另外一个版本:
Version 2 :
I can gain some useful knowledge,
having/doing/learning XXXX gives me the chance to make many friends,
and it is always exciting to get a lot of fun and inspirations from it.
04从句的使用,落实到一定会用
核心点:养成习惯
除了时态的主动输出,我们在从句的使用上,也可以做到主动出击。
比如三大从句体的应用:
(定语从句)名词结尾,加上which is进行修饰。I like my phone/this cup/XXX which is beautiful.
(名词性从句)what I need is .../ what impressed me the most is that / I know the fact that / I think that I should ...
(状语从句)一定用好几个连词:when / if / even though / so ... that / as / before / since ,尝试多进行造句。
05情绪语气在程度措辞上的拿捏和分级
核心点:精确表达,也体现层次感
我们使用语言去表达我们的感受和情绪,并不是非黑即白,并不是只有yes和no,根据不同程度的情绪,需要更加精准的去使用这门语言去做精细化表达,才能真正体现使用者对语言的理解。
比如:
have faith in…
be so sure about…
strongly believe
believe
do think
think
suppose
guess
再比如:
Absolutely yes
Yes
Kind of / sort of
Not sure/partly
No
Not really
Definitely no
以及:
is my favorite
a big fan of
be fond of
love it so much
like it
I'm OK with it
is not my thing
从上到下,看一下以上的表达里,不同的单词语句所代表的不同情绪。想精确去表达意思,是对这一语言的更深刻理解。
06通晓“利”和“弊”,是很多问题的思维方式
核心点:保持对利弊的权衡
“利”:抛开对某些事物无理由的喜爱,有些时候现实一点,因为做某件事是有好处的,是我们会喜欢和做这件事的原因
例:it is beneficial to do sth. / I can see many benefits in it / doing XXX is good for XXX
“弊”:因为这个事情或东西会带来一些坏处,或存在弊端,会成为我们不选择它或者甚至反感它的原因
例:the downside of it is that / there are some drawbacks or disadvantages / it is bad/harmful to
07用好两个C:convenient和comfortable
核心点:我们追求便利和舒适
Convenient:现代人啥都是图方便,只要让我们的生活和工作学习方便了,这个东西和事情就是好的
例:it is convenient for me to.... / it makes my life/work/study easier than before / it saves me a lot of time/energy
Comfortable:是否让人舒服已经成为我们的衡量标准之一。任何的产品,事情,环境,等等,都可以用到
例:I feel comfortable when I .... / it is so comfortable if I .... / it makes me feel cozy / it is like coming home / it is human-oriented / user-friendly
08简单好用的:倒装句,虚拟语气,强调句
核心词:一定要有固定的表达套路才能确保自己一定会用到
倒装句:in this way can I make it done / not only can I XXX,but I can also XXX...
(记住固定的表达就好)
虚拟语气: if I had money / time, I would XXX ....
(表达的是对现实的否定,比较好用的就是时间和金钱了:要是有时间/钱就好了)
强调句:it's the thought that matters / it's the appearance that attracts my attention / it was I who made the final decision /It is stability that destroys people’s ambition and barricades people’s steps.
(注意强调句不要乱用,不想强调的时候不要用。需要表达“就是....”的含义)
09因为有压力所以要放松,于是“逃离”和“热爱”
核心词:关于放松的本质
Relax的方式有很多,主要可以归为两类:
escape : pressure from study or work---relieve the stress---escape from the daily system---forget about all the troubles and problems in the real life---step into another world to take a break --- movie, music, sport, games, ...
love : one of my interests/never get tired of it/have passion for it/get enjoyment from doing it/it is always fun/more interesting than anything else/a pleasant thing/love to do something I'm good at/the sense of achievement
10向内了解自己,寻找自身的特点和原因
核心词:具体化和细节化
对于雅思口语的解读,我们可以简单的概括为:“向内了解自己,向外了解世界”的过程。而在向内了解自己这个方向上,我们可以使用一些表达:
My favorite part is that ...
XXX is my thing/my type/in my blood/engraved in my DNA
I just love to do it for no reasons
I'm just that kind of a person
I really have no ideas of ...
maybe I just don't get it/have the sense of ...
My habit/My daily routine/My passion/My interest/My goal
以上就是我所总结的part1部分的十大方法合集。方法的使用,更关键的还是应用。一来需要勤于在实践中练习达到熟练,二来需要灵活的根据实际情况进行随机的灵活组合。英语口语的道路上,本就没有捷径,合适的方法加上足够的练习,才能真正实现在本质上的口语提升。
