  • 雅思注意事项

    2008-4-08

    一。不要把眼睛瞪的很大。有些人讲话在加重语气时喜欢张大眼睛,这样不太好(万一眼中还有些残留污垢什么的,更完蛋了),因为在老外看来眼睛瞪大很不礼貌,其实也是啊,从那些外国片里,鬼子表示惊讶时通常是耸肩或吐舌头,很少有人瞪大眼睛的。
    二。也不要眯眼睛。有些人可能以为近视平时又不带眼睛,看东西眯眼惯了,如果那样的话,拜托你还是早点去配眼睛吧,哪怕你眯着眼睛只是习惯性的动作,那些比较sensitive的考官们还是以为你对他比对题目有更多额外的兴趣,那样,分数会高吗?
    三。ps:重点。千万千万不要捂住嘴巴。有些人习惯在思考时托着下巴,又手指遮住了嘴巴,这样会让老外觉得很郁闷的,因为说说口语考试中要的是eye contact,但事实上他们还是很习惯的把眼神停留在你的mouth上的,所以说,女生去考试那天可以稍稍涂点口红,不过切记不要很红的那种,血盆大口是超恐怖的。
    个人建议用red earth 或 opera 的淡色唇彩比较好!
    四。讲话中可以有手势,但幅度不要很大,例如很多人喜欢在想问题时抓抓头皮,这种下意识的举动会给通常有点洁癖的老外带来很大困扰(虽然事实上他们也干净不了多少)
    所以对于手势嘛,当然还是有点需要的,只是不要过多,多大,弄的跟表演一样,个人建议在回答问题时,象楚留香那样的摸摸鼻子还是满可爱的,不过当然不能多了,不然你对面那个人不会以为你鼻子有问题才怪呢!
    五。通常在topic2时,会给你一只铅笔,让你写点什么,这时,请各位鸭子兄弟千万要注意了,这支笔可不是你平常做作业用的笔哦,千万不要习惯性的咬咬笔头啊,说到这里时,那个丑英国鬼子真的表现的义愤填膺啊,说他看到人在一分钟的思考时间时,把笔放在自己的mouth旁边时,他是多么的痛苦!
    六。不要突然提高语调,切记,口语考试不是朗诵比赛,有些人认为在阐述中突然提高语调会加大效果,那么你便错了,试想,考官在面对了无数个考生后已经很昏昏欲睡了,虽然看起来他在听你讲话,说不定自己早在什么day dreaming 了,所以如果你突然提高音调,怎么会不吓着他呢。
  • 科学聊天学习法

    英语口语两法宝:科学聊天与句子库

    学习英语的重要性已经是不言而喻的了,可实际生活中,由于对口语、听力训练不够,大部分高中毕业生、非英语专业大学本科毕业生口语发音不准、说话不流利且听力太差,无法用英语进行交流。这里我向大家介绍学习英语口语的两大法宝:科学聊天法与句子库法。

     

      日常会话属于非正式口语。平时多去英语角,多与人用英语聊天,是练习英语会话的不二法门。现在网上出现了一些一对一的电话英语角,有英语口语陪练和你共同练习英语口语,其中繁星英语热线www.starryclub.com做的比较成功。可聊天毕竟是为了学习口语,当然也要注意方法,即科学聊天法,方法实际上也很简单:

     

      1)方法:a.聊天前做好主题准备工作,包括了解话题、查找所涉及的单词、准备能套几十个常用句型备用。b.身上装上一本15000词左右的英汉小词典和一本1万词条左右的汉英小词典。c.聊天过程中不要怕在对方面前查字典。无关紧要的话可以想法用其它句子说清楚,关键的词则一定要查字典。d.聊完天后应对从今天聊天中学到的单词、表达法、句型进行登记总结,并背下来。

     

      2)注意事项:a.复习预习工作一定要做,只有这样每一次聊天才会有较大的收益。b.不要怕丢面子。成年人学英语最大的敌人是自己,尤其是自己的"面子"c.自我对话与口头作文也是一种很好的口语训练法。

     

      一般会话,非正式口语就足够了,可要参加技术交流、商务会谈、正式会议等,练好正式的口语就很有必要了,这就是句子库法。方法如下:a.在阅读过程中、从书本例句中、从对话中看、听到地道、标准、典型、或优美的句子摘抄下来。b.将每一个摘抄的句子分别记在不同卡片或纸条上随身携带。c.随时取出尽量做到大声、快速、清晰地读几遍。d.经常回忆所记的句子。e.积累到一定量后分类总结设立"自己"的句子库。

     

      注意事项:a.一定要是"自己"的句子库,现有的这类辞典由于你未背熟所以不是你"自己的",不过可利用它来对句子进行分类摘抄,以便查找。b.一定要对句子达到随口而出的地步。c.背诵的诗歌、文章也?quot;句子库"范畴。d.对自己背的句子、文章还可采用复述的方式来锻炼自己的表达能力,这对自己的语法、单词量、反应速度都是很好的考验。

     

      在实际生活中,在各种不同的情景或场合、对不同的对象表达某一意念时常使用的习惯用语并不太多。这些用语大多具有固定的句型,往往不能用汉译英的方式直译出来。一个对口语句型熟练的人,只要掌握了25003000个常用词和短语,就能较自由地表达自己的思想。在学汉语时,我们知道"熟读唐诗三百首,不会做诗也会吟",英语学习也是这样,可以这么说,如能熟背英语三百句,口语交流基本没问题。更何况那些优美的句子还会给人带来美的享受呢!还需要注意的是,为了很好地进行口语会话,需要记忆一些过渡性、装饰性词语和插入语句。对话总是双向的,除了说得出,还要能听得懂。想练好听力,只有靠多听。需要提醒大家的是,由于英语已经成为一种国际性语言,大多数国家的商务、技术人员都会说,可是由于受母语影响,很多国家和地区的人发音并不很准确,甚至以英语为母语的国家也有地方口音--就如我国各地的方言一样。例如,苏格兰人通常会吞掉一些音节,澳大利亚人将"today"说成"todie";不少新西兰人把"set"说成"sit";拉丁语系的人说英语,有r结尾的单词往往加上小舌颤音;日本人说英语rl分不清;东南亚的人说英语往往夹杂着本国母语的语调,而且t音常用d来代,等等。在对话时应注意,而且平时也应适当听听这些国家的英语台作为练习。

     

    学习英语的目的就是为了交流,口语能力差会使你不敢与人对话,从而无法交流。希望大家能运用好本文介绍的两大法宝,把口语学好。

    别人的口语经验

    流利的表达建立在两件事的基础上:一是与人交流的能力,二是自身具备的实力。所谓与人交流的能力,有两种情况属于欠缺这种能力:一是有许多人本身中文就缺乏表达能力。有同学可能会说,我用中文跟人聊天从没出现过障碍,怎么会缺乏表达能力。但请注意,如果你是要参加口语考试,那么口语考试的内容不会是那种平时聊天的内容,倒更像是实话实说的节目内容。我现在问你,对于人口老龄化现象有何看法,即使用中文,也不会有太多人能流利顺畅的讲一段话出来。所以大家在练习口语过程中,不妨也时常练练用中文大谈特谈一些话题,一定会收益良多,二是有很多人无论中英文都习惯了间间断断的说话,很难找到所谓口若悬河的感觉,在平时生活中这样的说话习惯无可厚非,但若是在口语考试中,这样的习惯往往会给考官留下不好的印象而构成你的扣分点。纠正的方法是平时一定要多读长篇大论的英语文章,这样才能养成连说不停的习惯.而且读文章也绝对是正音的好方法。    
       最后来说意识。这个意识指的是你有没有养成用英文思考的习惯。如果没有这个习惯,那么你的口语将永远是在翻译,或是在背诵,而难以说一些真正想说的东西。这个习惯养成的方法就是多和人说,刚开始你会觉得自己是在翻译,但是时间一长你就会自然养成用英文思考的习惯。

    A: It stands for Permanent Normal Trade Relation. If one nation enjoys this kind of treatment, it is accessible to tariff preference for imported goods from another nation.
    B: By the way, would you describe yourself as extroverted or more introverted?
    A: I think I am quite outgoing. I like cooperation with others, and getting the job done by working together.
    B: Good. I think you'd like to know about the remuneration. The starting salary for trading clerks in this company is RMB 3, 500 per month, and raise is given after six months according to your ability. We provide fringe benefits such as annual bonus, three-week paid vacation a year, and health insurance. Are these satisfactory?
    A: Yes, these are quite satisfactory.
    B: Do you have any questions about the job?
    A: I was told that some of your Chinese employees are sent to the United States to attend the training program provided by the head office. I'd like to know how you choose employees to attend the program.
    B: Almost all Chinese employees are eligible to attend the training course, but as the number of trainees at one time is limited, we select them on their merits. Are you really interested?
    A: Sure. I'll do my utmost if I am employed by this company.
    B: It has been pleasant talking with you, Mr. Zhang. We'll notify you of our final decision within one week.
    A: Thank you, Mr. Hudson, for your interview with me. I hope to see you again.
