雅思口語中Part 1 如何延伸拓展答案
口語 Part 1
Part 1 到底要說多長,一直是很多烤鴨們糾結的問題。
很多考生都認為雅思口語的Part 1部分就是隨便跟考官「聊」兩句,不用怎麼深入回答,因為如果說多了就會被考官不停地打斷,所以等到了Part 3再多「聊」就好。其實這個觀點是錯誤的。
請看下面這個例子:
I ELTS
很多考生在考試時會碰到一些簡單的Part 1 問題, 比如「Do you like learning history ?」考生的答案很多都是千篇一律的「Yes, I like it. It』s interesting.」或者 「No. I think it』s boring.」 考生以為已經回答了考官的問題,但是考官卻皺皺眉頭,緊接著問「Why ?」,然後考生就吞吞吐吐不知道該怎麼回答了。這邊需要注意的是,每當考官在考試時候問「Why?」考生應該意識到的是,其實考官是在說「Please give me some details and examples.」因為考生的答案太空洞,沒有實質性內容會讓考官誤以為考生的辭彙量單一,思維過於簡單,沒有邏輯,自然得不到好的分數。
我們先撇開答案長短不說,至少你得把話說明白了,讓考官理解歷史有趣在哪裡?無聊在哪裡?如果你的口語答案說出來,都沒法讓考官理解,那你也別奢望得到太好的分數了。
如何有邏輯地拓展自己的回答一直都是Part 1和Part 3的關鍵。 我們今天就先來看看,Part 1 常見的延伸和拓展思路有哪些
1
兩點一線Answer+Reason1+Reason2
Do you like reading books?
I』m such a big fan of reading, especially English novel.Mainly because it』s a good way for me to pass time. And also it helps me to soak up the second language.
「兩點一線」其實就是指我們在回答原因的時候,盡量回答兩個原因。第一,這樣可以滿足答案有一定的長度。第二,滿足遞進的邏輯關係,讓答案顯得更有邏輯。
這裡需要提醒考生的是:
A一定要有連接詞
mainly because + Reason 1, and also + Reason 2 是非常非常重要的,連接詞便於考官去理解你的答案。如果你的答案沒有連接詞,在考官看來,句子之間互相獨立而雜亂無章的表達,所以他們無法領會其中的「深意」。
B抽象的東西要學會具體化
上面答案里很好的把抽象的book 具體化成了English novel. 首先這樣可以展示辭彙。sports magazine,science fiction novel, biography, comic book 寫出來大家都認識,但是考試時候不說出來,誰知道你認識呢。另外,抽象問題具體化也為後面說Reason 2打開了一個方向。

聊聊自己的經歷
Answer+Experience+Reason
Do you often listen to music ?
Yes, I listen to music on a daily basis. Whenever I have free time, I』ll put on my headphones and get lost in my favorite rock music,which is a good way to blow off steam.
有的時候,某些話題如果想不到兩個原因,談談自己的經歷也是可以的。說經歷的方式有很多,這裡介紹給大家的方法就是when + what + which is a good way to + R
When: Whenever I have free time
What : put on my headphone and get lost in my favorite rock music
Which : blow off steam
這裡需要提醒考生的是,「放鬆」是口語考試Part 1 中的常見觀點,很多題目中都可以用到,所以建議考生都準備幾種表達,不要一直都是relax. 其實我們可以說help sb to unwind, release one』s pressure, blow off steam, 都是可以來替換 relax。
3
學會解釋原因
Answer+Reason+Explain
Do you think it』s important to eat fruit ?
To be honest, I think eating fruit is a big deal. Mainly because it』s beneficial for people』s health.
To be more specific, fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and natural sugar, so eating fruits is a good way to help people lose weight, strengthen muscle and even boost immune system.
當考生的答案只是運用一些空洞形容詞且沒有實質性內容的時候(比如,sth. is adj. Reading is interesting 或者 doing sth. is adj. Playing video games is time-wasting ), 要學會去進一步解釋。
Do you like reading newspaper ?
Not particularly, it』s not my cup of tea. Probably because it』s boring. That is to say, it』s generally black and white, lack of some attractive and colorful photos. Also it mainly focuses on politics, economy and current affairs.
在否定答案中,考生經常會說it』s boring, tedious, time-wasting, inconvenient等等,都不能算是一個好答案。考生以為自己把答案說完了,其實考官這時卻是不理解的,一定要進一步解釋。

懂得分條件討論
It depends.
If + 條件 1 + A + R
However if + 條件2 + B + (R)
Do you prefer to do outdoor games or indoor games ?
Well, it depends. If the weather is agreeable, I』m more willing to do some games in the outdoors, such as hiking, fishing and camping. You know, it』s a great opportunity to get close to nature and breath fresh air. However, ifit』s raining outside, indoor games such as card game or board game will be a better option to have fun.
有些題目可以不用直接回答,採用分類討論可以讓答案更有延伸性,也能讓考官感覺出考生有一定的思維和想法。但是,不建議在Part 1 中多次採用分類討論,因為我們在聊天過程中總是說「It depends.( 我覺得看情況 )」,會讓別人覺得很奇怪。

評價優缺點
Mixed Feelings + Advantage + Disadvantage
Do you think internet is a good place to check news ?
Well, in terms of this topic, I have very mixed feelings.
On one hand, it』s pretty convenient to check news whenever people have free time. For example, commuters can read the latest news on their smart phones when taking underground.
However, on the other hand, news on the internet is not one hundred percent reliable and objective. Some news media bend the truth to grab audiences』 eyeballs.
中國教育方式比較注重學生的接受吸納能力,而非辯證思考反駁的能力。於是學生在課後能廣泛自發地使用因果關聯關係,而使用轉折關係的學生卻寥寥無幾。評價優缺點也就是去探討事物的兩面性,是考生在雅思口語Part 1 和 Part 3 應該熟練運用的方法。不僅可以有效的去延伸拓展答案,更可以讓答案體現出西方教育中所強調的辯證思維能力。
結語
此外,需要跟考生強調的是,並不是所有題目都需要延伸,在很多話題的第一小題中,希望考生不要過多的延伸,否則會泄露過多的信息,考官無問題可問的情況。比如:在Hometown 話題中,第一題考官都會問 「where do you come from ? 」有些考生會說「 I come from XX, it』s a small city. I love it so much because it』s famous for.....」顯然這個答案就有點過分延伸了,因為考官明明第二個問題想問的是「Is that a small place or a big city ?」 以及第三個問題 「Do you like your city?」都沒法去問了。所以如果你不想考官總是打斷你,一定記住要學會掌握節奏,不要過度透露信息。
