考生们应该背的34个加分句型

大家的写作速度慢,一个重要原因是主体段没有写理由的句型积累。模板只能让你写出开头和结尾,但是主体段有些东西还要自己写。所以很多学生在考场里开头结尾写的很快,但是一到主体段就抓狂了。

雅思写作别碰红线

主题句原则
  国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!

可参考的写作用语

After pondering this question on many occasions, I finally reach the opinion that____ is something worthy to do and I cannot skip it.

雅思考试常用警句

To see a world in a grain of sand. And a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand. And eternity in an hour
从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂. 把握在你手心里的就是无限,永恒也就消融于一个时辰.

增强语句表现力的五大王牌

一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词。
  1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如:
  Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语)
  Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语)

13岁雅思口语9分详细回忆

作者钟琬婷13岁,第一次参加雅思考试,取得了总分8.5分的成绩。 其中,听力9分,阅读9分,写作7分,口语9分。 以下是口试详细过程回忆。

考官谈口语:中国服装-旗袍

Describe a Chinese dress:
Qipao (Ch'ipau) is one of the most typical, traditional costumes for Chinese women. Also known as cheongsam, it is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion scene because of its particular charm.

雅思口语考试临场发挥的两大新思路

最近几年,雅思考试凭借注重听说读写能力和被欧美国家广泛认可的优势,在国内留学考试市场人气急升,甚至大有赶超托福成为留学考试“老大”之势。虽 然,越来越多的考生选择参加雅思考试,但对中国考生来说,要攻克雅思考试并非易事,特别在口语能力培养和考试临场发挥两个环节上,许多考生因为学习方法不 当或不注意细节问题而败走麦城。下面,就针对这两个薄弱环节提出应对的新思路:

  新思路一:
  口语学习因人而异

  考生的英语水平各不相同,口语学习方法也应因人而异。对初学者来说,最有效方法就是背诵英文句型或段落。在背诵前切记要跟着录音带大声 朗读5遍以上,背诵时最好有中文译文,一边看句子,一边背,这样能够印象深刻。对通过大学四级或六级考试的中级水平者来说,要多做一些汉译英的口语练习, 如看一些汉语短文章,然后用英文口头表达出来;每晚入睡前用英文描述一天发生的事情;每星期至少看一部英语原版电影,坚持3个月以上,熟悉英语发音,培养 语感。总而言之,中国学生要根据自己的英语水平,选择最适合自己的口语学习方法,并且要持之以恒,相信会有所收获。

  思路二:
  现场考试注意细节

  有不少考生复习时下了很大功夫,但由于考试临场发挥欠佳而功亏一篑,有些考生其实就是在一些细节问题上出了差错。英式考试非常严谨,因 此,考生在考试时要特别注意以下细节:1、雅思写作测验答题不用写题目,也不用在答案上方重写问题;2、答题纸左右必须各留下约一寸的空间;3、可用传统 方法(即每段的下一行向右移一寸)或用现代方法(在段落之间留一行空行)来分段,但千万不要同时使用这两种方法;4、切记不要分字;5、每行的字数应控制 在10至12个,这样可限制字体的大小,字与字之间的空位也不会太大;6、正写字体会显得幼稚,建议用草写,一方面能令行文章显得较为成熟,另一方面草写 方式很受西方人的青睐;7、尽量选择粗线条的原珠笔或蓝色墨水笔,从心理学来看,较粗的笔迹令人印象深刻,而蓝色是眼睛最易接受的颜色;8、如果写错字, 划掉重写一次便可;9、书写整齐、排列漂亮的文章,会给阅卷者一个好印象;10、标点符号绝不能用错,特别要谨慎使用感叹号和问号。

雅思口语答题参考:Transportation

Transportation
Give me some opinion on the transportation in your city?
In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars moving at a snail's pace on the streets during the rush hours. There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy intersections.

In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. On the one hand, the government should invest more money in the building of new roads and the repairing and maintenance of old ones, particularly those in busy areas of the cities. On the other hand, the number of private cars in urban areas should be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, it is essential that stricter traffic rules and regulations be issued to strengthen traffic control.

1) Compare the different transportation, such as between plane, train and car.Drive car to travel is convenient because we can set out at any time. But it is too slow and it may spend us much more time. Plane ticket is more expensive. So, I think train is the best transportation for me.
2) Can you just image the transportation in the future and describe it for me? 
In the future, the speed of car, train and plane will be faster. And, the transportation will be easier and convenient.
3) Just compare the transportation in the past and now? What transportation do you like and why?Nowadays, we have more choice on the transportation than the past. Such as tube, plane etc, even though in the small city. I like tube, because tube is safety and tube ticket is cheap.

雅思口语考什么?如何应对?

--除了正确的发音,口语考试还需要什么

有不少参加雅思口语考试的考生有着相同的“遭遇”,就是他们语法知识牢固,发音标准,跟老外接触的机会也不少,为什么口语也只考了个6分,与那血口语基础比他们低一个层次的考生无异呢?他们还缺些什么技巧呢?为此无忧雅思网电话采访了启德教育的林晓东老师。

林晓东认为:要提高口语分数就必须看清楚雅思口语的考察目的:IELTS SPEAKING是考察测试者运用英语作为一种交流思想的口头工具的效率和效果,整个考试分成3小部分约11到14分钟。

既 然是作为交流思想的工具,考生在参加测试时如能放开包袱,以轻松的心情和与朋友聊天的心态去应考则应能发挥本身水平,不只出现“分数与能力对不上号”的情 况。以下列出的五点是林老师作为雅思教师在日常教学与实际应考中小结出来的备考关键,希望对即将进入考场的战士有一定帮助。

BE INFORMATIVE

一 定要给予足够的信息。考生说出的话语是EXAMINER打分的依据,有同学曾经告诉笔者,她追求的是地道的发音,一句话要想好了想准了才敢开口说出来,一 个单词讲错了都要重来一遍。个人觉得,她追求完美这种精神是值得提倡的,但只是在平常练习时候提倡;到了真正考试我们应在第一反应内给予EXAMINER 你的观点和见解,使得话语保持连续而不是中断。试问在整个考试过程中只说几句所谓的完美的“只言片语”好呢,还是完整的陈述自己思想好呢?关键不在于你说 了什么,而在于你怎么说!

BE SPECIFIC

一定要说到细节点上。“笼统概括” 是不少低分考生的通病,其实是他们对已有词汇运用不合理所致。上月有次考sportstar 的话题,有考生说喜欢姚明,但说来说去都是I like Yao Ming. I like him very much. 最多用个初中学的句型He is so good that I like him very much. 这样的分数可想而知。为何喜欢姚明,我们要给出具体的细节才能打动考官,让他们记住细节就能渲染气氛达到交流的目的。I love Yao Ming because he is a strong player. He is so cute but he plays basketball well and gets points easily. And the most important thing is that Yao takes care of others, even those with AIDS. I am proud of him. 使用的是simple English,简简单单,实实在在, 但把具体的信息掏出,使得人物形象活灵活现。

EYE CONTACT

与 考官要有眼神接触。进门就应大声招呼致意,这是礼貌和自信心的表现,但有考生不习惯looking directly into other’s eyes,老盯着地板或桌子的,这时候可以稍微做些调整,把眼光转移到嘴巴,这样既尊重考官,也可以避免盯着对方眼睛的尴尬。

BODY LANGUAGE
有 一定的身体语言,包括手势,脸部表情。点头,微笑,表示你准备好了或是听懂了对方的指示;一定的手部动作来解说你描述的事物。这些在我们日常的母语表达中 是自然流露,无忧雅思网提醒广大考生身体语言对外语交流同样是必不可少的,千万不要好像石碑一样“巍然屹立”,我们不是考试机器,而是人,尽量让考官看到 我们使用语言的流利一面,达到考试“使用英语交流思想”的初衷。

IELTS口语考试技巧攻略

做好准备,轻松面对....  
您必须做好准备和准时。记着带可以证明您身份的证件。您或许会被面试官要求填写一份资料表(Curriculum Vitae或Resume) 填写时切记要真实和详细。面试官会根据您填写的资料问问题。考试开始时会录音。您不用担心,录音只是用来确保面试官没有做错任何步骤。第一印象非常重要, 您应尽量讲有意思和有趣的话题,发音也很重要,再有趣和有意思的话题都必须要让人容易听得懂。记着英语的表达是很着重语调和高低音;身体语言也可以帮助表 达,放松自己,但也不要显得太轻松。尽量让您的形态告诉面试官您不紧张和有自信。  
尽量积极主动....  
答问题时千万不要只回答“Yes”或“ No”。记着这个考试的目的是让您有机会说话,您要放开心情说话。面试官的角色是负责引导您说话,在整个面试过程中您说话时间的比例至少要有75%至 80%,您要在回答问题时表现正面的态度。考生通常都应该诚实地回答所有问题,但有一些问题,回答的时候还是应该保持比较正面。例如问您对澳洲的印象,就 算您真的认为非常不堪,也不应说出口。  
答案一定要清晰详细....  
千万不要刻意用一些深奥或复杂的字来解释事情。不要以为这样可以加深面试官的印象,一个简洁易懂的答案绝对比一个复杂难懂的答案好。简单的答案不代表短答案,短答案会使整个面试有太多停顿,而面试官也要大伤脑筋多想问题。 
  
第一阶段(介绍)  
须 知....  
您一般会被问及关于您的背景和考IELTS考试的原因。您应对这类问题做好准备,在第一阶段表现的要求包括:  
1)在轻松友善的态度下介绍自己;  
2)用简单,准确而流利的言语提供您自己的基本资料;  
3)表现给面试官知道您愿意表达自己和您有很多有趣的事要告诉他。  
应做和不应做的事...  
应做的事  
1)保持微笑和保持眼神接触;  
2)当和面试官握手的时候,用力一点以表诚意;  
3)清晰和详细地回答;  
4)大方的谈及自己的事情和经验以控制场面;  
5)测验前多练习,以肯定您能准确运用过去式等等的语法。  
不应做的事  
1)不要告诉面试官您很紧张,也不要眨眼太多和眼珠有太多移动;  
2)握手时不要让面试官以为自己在握着一条死鱼;  
3)不要让对话在短句中中止;  
4)当面试官期望您进一步说明,不要随便停下;  
5)有语法错误时不要害怕,应镇定地更正,但在口语考试中,流利度绝对比语法准确度重要。

说到礼物,多么温馨的话题呀!不过在考场上要是没了词儿,可就不爽了,所以还是要准备:
其实雅思cue card很多其他的卡片内容都可以搬到这里来,比如 a toy, a letter or a card, an electronic device, 甚至something that was made by yourself这个卡片的内容你都可以换成something that was made by a friend of mine 之后再搬到这里来。
不过还是有很多特殊的内容要准备,首先注意时态要用过去时。
比如要说一个礼物令人难忘,就说It was the most memorable gift I ever received.如果要说礼轻情义重,就说The price was nothing,it was the thought that counted.
如果要说它代表着朋友对你的友情,就说It represented my friend's affection for me.或者 It was a token of my friend's affection for me.
如果要说包装精致,就说It was exquisitely packaged或者My friend even had it gift-wrapped for me.
如果要说送你礼物的朋友很细心,就说It was so considerate of him/her to select such a meaningful gift for me.
如果要说直到今天你还在书桌的抽屉里珍藏着它,就说Today,I still keep it in my desk drawer,intact....
