But, it’s still a choice, right?

But, it’s still a choice, right?

Let’s look at some key points from this part of the speaking exam.

我们从口语考试的这一部分 来看一些关键的重点。

First, to get a high score in IELTS speaking—band seven or above—you need to speak fluently,

首先，要在雅思口语考试拿到一个 高分 — 7分或更高 —

without hesitation.

您需要没有迟疑并流利地讲。

That doesn’t mean you can never pause or hesitate, but your hesitations should not

那不意味着您从不能暂停或者 迟疑，但是您的迟疑应当

be language-related.

与语言不相关。

So, if you’re pausing or stopping because you can’t remember vocabulary, or because

所以，如果您因为不记得词汇， 或是您不够快去造一个句子而

you can’t build a sentence fast enough, that will make it difficult to get a high

暂停或停止，那会让您很难去拿

score.

一个高分。

Secondly, Oli’s answers were all relevant and appropriately developed.

其次，Oli的回答都是相关的，并且 得到适当的展开。

He gave full answers to every question and added extra detail, but he never went off-topic.

每个问题他都给出了完整的回答，并 添加了额外的细节，但是，他从未离题。

This is also essential: you need to do both of these things to get a high score in your

这也是必要的：在您的雅思口语 考试里，您需要做到这两件

IELTS speaking test.

事情来拿到高分。

He also used linking words and connecting devices well.

他也很好地使用了连接词 和连接手法。

Let’s look at one answer as an example:

我们拿一个回答作为一个例子来看：

Notice that I didn’t use a lot of linking words here.

注意在这里我没有使用大量的连接词。

IELTS students often overuse linking words, and they end up getting a lower score because

雅思考生们经常过度地使用连接 词，然后，因为他们犯错或

they make errors or sound unnatural.

听起来不是自然的，他们最终拿到 了一个较低的得分。

You need to connect your ideas, but you don’t get a higher score for using more linking

您需要连接您的观点，但是，因为 使用过多的连接词，您不能拿到

words.

一个较高的评分。

It’s more important to use linking words accurately and naturally.

准确并自然地使用连接词是更重要的。

Looking at vocabulary, Oli used a wide range of words and phrases in his answers, including

看看词汇，Oli在他的回答里使用了 很广范围的单词和短语，包括

some good collocations like alternative electronica, disco influences, or a powerful effect on

一些好的词组像是alternative electronica、 disco influences、或是

our emotions.

a powerful effect on our emotions。

He also used some idiomatic language in a correct, natural way.

他还以一个正确、自然的方式 使用了一些习惯用语。

For example, I’m a big fan of…, get myself pumped up, lift you up, or I’d pick it up

例如， I’m a big fan of…、get myself pumped up、lift you up，或者I’d pick it up

again quite quickly.

again quite quickly。

Finally, I got a question at the end which was harder to answer: Do you think everybody

最后，在结尾我得到了一个较难 回答的问题：Do you think everybody

should learn to drive?

should learn to drive?

You might have to answer some strange questions in your IELTS speaking exam, or talk about

您或许不得不在您的雅思口语考试 里回答一些奇怪的问题，或者谈论

something you haven’t thought about before.

您之前没有想过的某些事情。

The examiner follows a script, and has no choice about what to ask you.

考官会跟随一个脚本，对问 您什么没有选择。

Many IELTS candidates have problems because they try to answer questions they have no

很多雅思考生有问题，因为他们 试图回答他们没主意

idea about.

的问题。

In this situation, it’s better to react naturally.

在这种情形下，比较好的是 自然地反应。

For example, you could say: that’s a weird question; hmm… that’s a tricky one, or

例如，您可以说：that’s a weird question; hmm… that’s a tricky one, or

something like that.

something like that.

Then, if you have no idea what to say, say so!

那么，如果您没主意要说什么，说这样！

So long as you explain why, this is fine, and it won’t affect your score.

只要您解释为什么，这是可以的， 那不影响您的评分。

Your score depends on your ability to communicate, not on your ideas and knowledge.

您的评分取决于您的沟通能力，而不是 您的主意或知识。

Let’s look at the next part of the test.

我们来看考试的下一个部分。

We’re going to swap roles here, so I’ll be the candidate.
