1, Each question in the Listening module is worth one mark。
2, For questions where the answers are letters or numbers, you should write ONLY the number of answers required. For example, if the answer is a single letter or number, you should write only one answer. If you have written more letters or numerals than are required, the answer must be marked wrong。
3, Answers maybe written in upper or lower case。
4, Words in brackets are OPTIONAL-they are correct, but not necessary。
5, Alternative answers are separated by a single slash。
6, If you are asked to write an answer using a certain number of words and/or (a) number(s), you will be penalized if you exceed this. For example, if a question specifies an answer using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS and the correct answer is “black leather coat”, the answer of “coat of black leather” is incorrect。
7, In questions where you are expected to complete a gap, you should transfer only the necessary missing word(s) onto the answer sheet. For example, to complete “in the …”, and the correct answer is “morning”, the answer “in the morning” would be incorrect。
8, All answers require correct spelling (including words in brackets)。
9, Both US and UK spellings are acceptable。
10, All standard alternatives for numbers, dates and currencies are acceptable。
11, All standard abbreviations are acceptable。
注意事项
1. 流利度。这是最首要的,需要大家在雅思考试中说话时不要总是中断,嗯嗯啊啊的。这也是一个语言熟练度和思维的问题。如果你一句话说得很熟,就不会出现打梗;如果你思维开阔,就不会上句接不了下句。这需要大家以句子为单位操练(非单词),同时看大量的英文材料扩展讲话素材。
2. 语音和语调。很多人发音不好似乎是先天的,且与当地的口音有关系。如果你普通话都讲不好,在雅思口语考试时发音也很难标准。语调方面,注意英语升降调的规律,说话尽量有升有降,抑扬顿挫,不要全部一个调调,听起来像机器人。在雅思口语准备过程中发音的训练靠多听多模仿,这方面的资源很多,不再赘述。
3. 词汇丰富度。这方面不需要过分夸大口语和书面语词汇的区别。但是雅思口语方面的词汇还是应该尽量积累的,尤其是习语和动词短语(不要告诉我你不知道是什么)。见过雅思的三个不同考官的经验告诉我,口语考试中,如果你能时常蹦出一个比较“高档”的词汇(如专属词汇),会比较能引起雅思考官的注意。(他/会抬头或者和你eye contact,当然这因人而异)
4. 句法。雅思口语不需要讲很多复杂的句子,但是不是说你全部都讲简单句。我觉得最好用的就是定语从句,不容易犯错。虚拟语气可以用一下,当然这些都不是硬性规定的。最主要的还是你的意思是否表达的很清晰。
另外,雅思口语算得上是一个interview,这就要求语言方面要稍微正式一点。很多人喜欢背俚语什么的,以为俚语讲多了就地道了,有老师认为一个英语非母语者讲太多俚语会很奇怪,而且会显得不正式。 这根据同学们自我程度决定
