在之前的文章中,我们讲解了雅思口语“连带词汇拓展法”中曾讲到过如何利用词汇来“没话找话”,加强交流感,从而提高口语分数。
那么本期跟大家聊的话题,就属于进阶版的“没话找话”:即如何在雅思口语考试中,使用三种转折逻辑,让我们说话变得自然,更丰富。
01
转折逻辑“表遗憾”
第一种转折逻辑叫做“表遗憾”。
当你陈述了一件事实的时候,可以在适当语句中插入这个逻辑,表示自己没有这样一个机会去完成某件事情。
例子1:
本季度真题:Do you like science?
回答:I love science! I found it very interesting. I have been interested in mathematics, chemistry and physics since childhood!
But, unfortunately (表遗憾)
these subjects usually require memorization, so my academic performance was not good.
例子2:
本季度真题:Do you like talking to people?
回答:Yes I do. I am always the one who makes the effort to start a conversation. I am quite outgoing and talkative.
But, unfortunately (表遗憾)
living in a foreign country, I am kind of experiencing this cultural shock and language barrier. I am trying hard to make new friends.
例子3:
本季度真题:What kind of weather do you like?
回答:I like rainy days. It calms me down when I listen to the sound of rain.
But, unfortunately (表遗憾)
here in xxx(地名), we don't get much rain.
02
转折逻辑“表回忆”
第二种转折逻辑叫做“表回忆”。
例如某件事情当前是一个事实,但从前TA不是这个样子的。那么大家可以通过拉取回忆的方式,对比现在与之前情况的不同。
这里先给大家介绍一些适合的模板套句:
I tought I was...
I did not expect it was...
But gradually, I found it was not as...as I expected.
I slowly changed my mind about...
I have a different attitude and understanding of...
例子1:
本季度真题:Do you like science?
回答:I love science! I found it very interesting.
But I didn't think it was interesting before (拉回忆对比)
When I was little, there were math tests every day and I had to memorize so many formulas, so I hated these subjects.
But gradully (说回到现在),
I found that it was not so boring as I thought. After I read some books about natural science, I started to show my interest in science.
03
转折逻辑“表意外”
第三种转折逻辑叫做“表意外”。
当你陈述了一件事实的时候,可以在这个事实之后表示虽然绝大多数情况是如上所述,但特殊情况下也有例外。同样的,我们先来看看这里有哪些模板套句可以使用。表示“绝大多数情况下”,我们可以说:
Quite often
Usually...
Most of the time...
In the vast majority of cases...
In most cases...
表示“例外情况”转折时,我们可以说:
But there are exceptions...
It could be the complete opposite...
例子1:
本季度真题:Do you like science?
回答:I love science! I found it very interesting.
Most of the time (常规情况) I enjoyed...
But sometimes I hate them (意外情况),
especially when the fun stuff turns into hard-to-remember formulas and deductive theories.
例子2:
本季度真题:Do you prefer fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
回答:I most cases (常规情况),
I like comfortable shoes because I walk a lot every day.
But there are exceptions (例外情况)
I pay special attention to the style and match of shoes, especially on important occasions, because people will judge you by your appearance. Believe or not.
很多同学在考试中非常担心自己说的词汇过于简单,其实相较于词汇的简单,大家更应该关心内容是否丰富。在口语考试中,好的逻辑关系可以大大丰富内容表达,并帮助你找到精准的表达词汇。
希望大家可以熟练运用以上的三种转折表达,口语更上一层楼~
