发现大部分口语分数徘徊在6、6.5分的同学们普遍都有“词穷”的现象,尤其是在Part 1和Part 3中,但凡被考官问到有关自己意见的题目,有的同学通篇使用“I think”或者“In my opinion”。这样当然是万万不行的。那么,又有什么好的替代词能够拯救万年“I think”的小伙伴呢?
1、回答考官就某事征求你的意见
当你想要脱口而出“I think”的时候,忍一下,想一想有什么其他的说法来代替?以下这些句式都非常常见哦~但比起“I think”是不是高大上了很多?
§As far as I’m concerned…..
§In my opinion…
§It seems to me (that)…
§From where I stand, it is…..
§What I reckon is…
§I’d like to point out that…
§If I may say so, this is…
§I’m convinced that…
§Personally, I consider…
§I would say…
2、表达对未来的打算和态度
在Part 1中,关于将来的打算之类的题目也经常被问及。很多同学下意识的第一反应就是“I think, I will…”,但要知道,问题虽然是你对未来的规划,但反复说”I”实在是太过单一。同学们可以看看下面的表达,是不是能获得灵感呢?
üWell, as you know, at the moment, I am studying…
üI am preparing right now to go to university, so my short-term plan is to…
üIf I am not successful, that is, if something goes wrong, I think I will probably…
üIn the future I would like to complete a master’s degree
üI do not know if I will…, but I might be able to…
üI feel inclines to…
üI’ll do all I can do to…
üI reckon I will
üI’m figuring on…
üI have every intention of…
3、表示喜欢某人某事
关于这类表达,Part 1和Part 2中都可以用到,尤其是关于hobby类的题目。相较于“I like xxx very much”,下面这些说法会好很多哟~
•I have a fancy for…
•I don’t think I’ve seen anything I like better.
•I’m very keen on outdoor sports.
•I’ve always liked fishing.
•… is a marvellous way of spending a day off.
•There’s nothing I enjoy more than…
•I’m crazy about…
•I can’t find words to express how much I like it.
•I have a particular fondness for pop song.
•Walking is one of my favourite pastimes.
4、描述事物
关于事物的描述,“烤鸭”们的切入点有很多,例如材质、功能、颜色、形状、特征等等。同学们可以在备考期间多多积累相应的词汇,到考试时,自然就无比淡定,完全不怕啦。
ØIt’s made of silk.
ØIt has many features.
ØIt is red coloured with steep roof.
5、回忆过去
以下的这些句型可以运用在Part 2中。毕竟是要讲回忆中的一个故事嘛~例如,说说一次重要的对话(describe an important conversation)、描述一次惊喜却兴奋的活动(describe a surprising and happy event)等等。可用的范围还是很广的,同学们要记起来哟~
vI can still remember the time when I passed my entrance examinations.
vI’ll never forgot the time when I first went to primary school.
vWhen I was a college student, I went on a trip which I will never forget.
6、表达情感
怎么表达感情?别再I am happy/ I am sad了,再这样下去,你的考官可要grumpy啦~中文里有“我高兴得要跳起来”的表达,那么英文里有什么呢?看看下面就知道啦~
oI felt so happy that I could jump for joy
oI felt like I was in heaven.
oI was impressed.
oI felt so depressed.
7、描述流程
流程怎么说?很多“烤鸭”都觉得要把步骤说清楚非常非常困难,因为其中涉及了2种语态和时态变化等等,稍不留神就会犯语法错误而被扣分。下面的表达方式虽然不是最完美的,但绝对实用哦,烤鸭们可以借鉴呢~
§The first thing you should do/ need to do/ is to plug it in.
§First, you need to take off the lid.
§The first step is to get the ingredients prepared.
§Next, you should press the button.
§Finally, switch it off by pressing the red button.
§The last thing you need to do is to turn off the stove.
