在这节课里，您可以学到有关口语测试 第三部分更多的细节，以及

how to get a better score.

怎么得到一个好评分。

First, let’s review what happens in part three of the IELTS speaking test.

首先，我们来复习一下在雅思口语 测试第三部分发生了什么。

The examiner will ask you some open-ended questions about a topic.

考官会问您一些与一个主题 有关的开放结尾问题。

The topic is often related to what you spoke about in part two of the exam.

主题通常与您在测试的第二 部分所讲的相关。

For example, if your topic in part two was “Talk about a sport you enjoy playing,”

例如，如果您在第二部分的主题是 “Talk about a sport you enjoy playing,”

the topic in part three will almost certainly be about sports.

在第三部分的主题也几乎 肯定会是关于运动的。

In part three, the examiners want to see if you can express your opinions clearly.

在第三部分，考官想看到您可以 清晰地表达您的观点。

They also want to see if you can talk about more abstract topics, not just about you and

他们也想看看您能否谈论更多有 吸引力的主题，而不仅仅是

your own life.

关于您的和您自己的生活的。

Also, in part three, the examiner can respond to what you say and take the conversation

同样，在第三部分，考官能回复 您所说的，并把对话

in different directions.

带往不同的方向。

That means it’s more like a natural conversation than the other parts of the IELTS speaking

那意思是那比口语测试的其他 部分更像一个

exam.

自然的对话。

The other parts follow a script.

其他的部分会追随一个脚本。

The questions in part three are generally quite simple.

在第三部分的问题一般来 说是十分简单的。

However, you need to be careful; just because the questions are simple, that doesn’t mean

然而，您需要留意；就因为问题是 简单的，那不意味着

your answers should be simple.

您的回答肯定会简单。

The questions give you an opportunity to speak.

那些问题给了您一个机会去讲。

You need to use that opportunity.

您要利用那个机会。

So how can you do that?

那么您要怎么做那个？

Well, let’s take some sample questions on the topic of sports:

嗨，我们拿出一些有关运动 主题的问题例子；

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

Let’s see how you can answer this question effectively.

我们看看您怎么有效地 回答这个问题。

Part one: support your opinions.

第一部分：支撑您的观点。

The worst answer in part three is a very short answer.

在第三部分最糟糕的 回答是很短的回答。

Don’t say something like,

不要说某些像是，

"Yes, I agree."

"Yes, I agree."

It's not enough just to give your opinion; you also need to support your ideas.

那不足以给出您的观点； 您也需要支撑您的想法。

How can you do this?

您要怎么做这个？

Well, first, try to give a reason.

好，首先，试着给出一个理由。

For example:

例如：

"Yes, I agree.

"Yes, I agree.

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

time to play sports or do something outside."

time to play sports or do something outside."

Secondly, try to add an example from your life.

其次，试着添加一个您 生活里的事例。

For example:

例如：

"Yes, I agree.

"Yes, I agree.

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

time to play sports or do something outside.

time to play sports or do something outside.

For example, when I was younger, I played outside with my friends every day after school.

For example, when I was younger, I played outside with my friends every day after school.

Nowadays, I never see children playing outside."

Nowadays, I never see children playing outside."

But, you say, what if I can’t think of a reason?

但是，您说说，如果我没有 想到一个理由呢？

What if I don't have an example?

如果我没有一个例子呢？

No problem—just add one or the other.

没问题 — 就添加一个或其他的。

But, you say, what if I can’t think of examples from my life or any reasons?

但是，您说说，如果我想不到我生活 里的例子或任何理由呢？

No problem—just make one up!

没问题 — 就编造一个。

For example:

例如：

"My friend Sam and his wife have an 8-year-old daughter.

"My friend Sam and his wife have an 8-year-old daughter.

She has to do around two hours of homework every day after school.

She has to do around two hours of homework every day after school.

Of course, this means she’s too tired to go outside or do anything in the evening.

Of course, this means she’s too tired to go outside or do anything in the evening.

When I was eight years old, I hardly had any homework."

When I was eight years old, I hardly had any homework."

Good answer, right?

好回答，对吗？

But guess what—I don’t have a friend called Sam!

但是您猜猜怎么着 — 我没有 一个叫Sam的朋友！

I just made it all up.

我只是编造了一个。

It’s a complete lie, and that doesn’t matter at all.

那完全是一个谎言，那一点 都没有关系。

The examiner doesn’t care if you’re telling the truth or not.

考官不在乎您在讲的是 真的还是假的。

Using an imaginary friend as an example can be a very useful.

用一个想像的朋友做一个 例子能很有用。

Here's another trick:

这是另一个技巧：

"In a recent survey, researchers discovered that children 30 years ago did five hours

"In a recent survey, researchers discovered that children 30 years ago did five hours

of exercise or physical activity every week.

of exercise or physical activity every week.

Now, the average is just one hour of activity a week."

Now, the average is just one hour of activity a week."

Again, there was no survey.

同样，没有问卷。

I just made it up.

我只是编造它的。

I'm lying!

我在骗。

And again: no one cares.

同样：没人在乎。

You can do this too.

您也可以这样做。

The examiner is not going to stop the exam to check your research on the Internet.

考官不会去停止测验去上网 查证您的研究。

They don't care.

他们不在乎。

However, remember that this is only for emergencies, if you can’t think of anything to say—it's

然而，记住这仅适用于紧急情况，如果 您想不起任何要说的—像

difficult to think of things like this.

这样去考虑某事是困难的。

It’s always better to use real examples if you can.

如果您可以的话，使用真实 的事例总是更好。

Now it’s your turn.

现在轮到您了。

Think about the question:

考虑问题：

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

First of all, do you agree or not?

首先，您同意还是不同意？

Secondly, why do you agree or disagree?

其次，为什么您同意或不同意？

Thirdly, can you think of examples from your life, or from people you know?

再次，您可以想到来源于您自己生活的 或您认识朋友的事例吗？

Think about how you would answer this question.

考虑您怎样回答这个问题。

Okay, part two: speculate—talk about possibilities.

好，第二部分：推测 — 谈论可能性。

You can make your answers better in part three of your IELTS speaking test by speculating.

通过推测，您可以在雅思口语考试 的第三部分做更好地回答。

What's speculating?

什么是推测？

What does speculate mean?

推测意思是什么？

Speculating means talking about something you aren’t sure about.

推测意思是谈论您不确定的某事。

For example, for our sample question, if you answer:

例如，就我们的问题事例， 如果您回答：

"Children definitely do less sport and exercise nowadays, but I’m not sure why that is.

"Children definitely do less sport and exercise nowadays, but I’m not sure why that is.

Maybe it’s because they spend more time online, playing video games and so on."

Maybe it’s because they spend more time online, playing video games and so on."

By saying “I’m not sure why that is.

通过说 “I’m not sure why that is.

Maybe it’s because…”

Maybe it’s because…”

By doing this, you are speculating.

通过做这个，您正在推测。

You’re talking about something which you don’t know about, and you’re saying what

您在谈论您不知道，而您正在说

could be true.

可能是真的某事。

You’re talking about possibilities.

您在谈论可能性。

Speculating is a really useful tool.

推测是一个真正有用的工具。

It lets you extend your answer.

那会让您延伸您的回答。

It lets you use advanced language.

那会让您用进阶语言。

It also lets you talk about something you don’t know about.

那也会让您谈论您 不知道的某事。

Many students complain that they don’t know what to say in the IELTS speaking test.

很多学生抱怨他们不知道在雅思 口语测试里说什么。

Here's a solution; here's an answer.

这里有一个解决方案；这里有一个回答。

You can talk about ideas and things you don’t know about; you don’t just have to talk

您可以谈论您不知道的事情 和想法；您不是非得

about facts.

谈论事实。

So, how can you speculate?

那么，您可以怎样去推测？

There are many simple phrases and structures you can use.

有很多您可以用的简单短语和结构。

First, use a verb like 'might', 'may', or 'could'.

首先，用一个动词像是“might”、 “may”、或“could”。

For example:

例如：

"I think children might have less free time than in the past."

"I think children might have less free time than in the past."

"Parents may not be willing to let children play outside nowadays, especially in big cities."

"Parents may not be willing to let children play outside nowadays, especially in big cities."

Secondly, you can use a phrase like 'it’s possible that…' or 'one possible reason

其次，您可以使用一个短语像是 “it’s possible that…”或

is that…'

“one possible reason is that…”

For example:

例如：

"It’s possible that there aren’t so many parks and other places where children can

"It’s possible that there aren’t so many parks and other places where children can

play sport."

play sport."

Or: "One possible reason is that parents aren’t

或： "One possible reason is that parents aren’t

interested in sport, so they don’t encourage their children to play sport and be active."

interested in sport, so they don’t encourage their children to play sport and be active."

Thirdly, you can use an if-sentence.

其次，您可以用一个if假设句。

For example,

例如：

"If children have more homework nowadays, of course it’ll be more difficult for them

"If children have more homework nowadays, of course it’ll be more difficult for them

to play sport."

to play sport."

"Obviously, if children spend lots of time in front of a screen, they won’t go outside

"Obviously, if children spend lots of time in front of a screen, they won’t go outside

and do something active."

and do something active."

Speculate as much as possible during part three of the IELTS speaking exam.

在雅思口语测试的第三部分 尽可能地推测。

It will help you to give longer answers and get a better score.

那会帮您得到更长的回答 并得到更好的评分。

Part three: how the other side of the argument.

第三部分：争论的另一面怎样。

A lot of IELTS advice sounds the same.

大量的雅思建议听起来相同。

“Develop your answers.”

“Develop your answers.”

“Add details.”

“Add details.”

“Make your answers longer.”

“Make your answers longer.”

Okay, but how?

好，但是怎样？

Here’s the simplest way: don’t just give your opinion; discuss the opposite opinion

这有简单的方法：不要只给出 您的观点；也讨论

too.

相反观点。

Let’s stay with our sample question and answer.

我们从我们的问题例子 和回答开始。

To review, you want to agree with the idea that children do less sport now than before.

来复习一下，您想同意孩子们现在做 运动比以前少的想法。

You start your answer, you give reasons and examples, and you speculate.

您开始您的回答，您给出理由 和例证，您推测。

Next, discuss the other side of the argument.

接下来，讨论争论的另一边的想法。

For example:

例如：

"… On the other hand, many of my friends’ children are very active, often more active

"… On the other hand, many of my friends’ children are very active, often more active

than their parents.

than their parents.

It isn’t true that all children are less active than in the past."

It isn’t true that all children are less active than in the past."

"… However, spending time online can also help to get children interested in new sports

"… However, spending time online can also help to get children interested in new sports

and activities.

and activities.

It’s much easier to find sports clubs and activities in your local area nowadays, thanks

It’s much easier to find sports clubs and activities in your local area nowadays, thanks

to technology."

to technology."

This lets you use linking words like 'on the other hand' or 'however', and again, this

这会让您用连接词像是“on the other hand”或“however”，同样，

is all making your answer longer and more detailed.

这都会让您的回答更长 以及更细节。

We haven’t finished yet, but let’s review these three points, because they’re all

我们还没有结束，但是我们来复习 这三点，因为他们

connected.

都是相连的。

In part three of the IELTS speaking test, you can improve your answer by: adding reasons

在雅思口语测试的第三部分， 您可以改进您的回答，通过：

to support your opinions; using examples from your own life; speculating (= talking about

增加支撑您的观点的理由；使用 来自您生活的例子；

possibilities, and things you aren’t sure about); and, discussing the other side of

推测（=谈论可能性，以及您不确定 的事情）；以及谈论

the argument.

争论的反方观点。

If you do all this, you can turn a bad answer:

如果您做了所有这些，您可以 翻转一个糟糕的回答：

"Yes, I agree."

"Yes, I agree."

Into this:

成这个：

"Yes, I agree.

"Yes, I agree.

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less

time to play sports or do something outside.

time to play sports or do something outside.

For example, when I was younger, I played outside with my friends every day after school.

For example, when I was younger, I played outside with my friends every day after school.

Nowadays, I never see children playing outside.

Nowadays, I never see children playing outside.

I’m not sure why that is.

I’m not sure why that is.

Maybe it’s because they spend more time online, playing video games and so on.

activities.

It’s much easier to find sports clubs and activities in your local area now, thanks

to technology."

You can see how following a few simple steps can help you to extend and develop your answer

您可以看到怎样追随几个简单的步骤 能帮您去延长并拓展您的

into something really good.

回答成某些真正好的东西。

If you can produce answers like this in part three of your IELTS speaking exam, you’ll

如果您可以在雅思口语测试的第三 部分像这样回答，

get a good score.

您会得到一个好评分。

Okay, I know what you’re thinking.

好，我知道您在想什么。

Firstly, you’re thinking: “Well, that’s easy for you, Mr Native Speaker!

首先，您在想：“Well, that’s easy for you, Mr Native Speaker!

But how can I do it?”

But how can I do it?”

I disagree—I think you can do it.

我不同意 — 我认为您可以做到。

Here’s why:

这里是为什么：

Most of the IELTS students I meet are around bands 5-6-7 and their target is maybe 6, 6.5,

大部分我遇到的雅思测试的学生 是5-6-7评分，他们的目标

7, rarely higher.

可能是6、6.5、7，甚至更高。

If you're at this level, you have the language to do something like this.

如果您没有在这个等级，那么您有了 要做像这样的某事的说法。

Go back, read the answer again.

回来，再读一下答案。

It isn’t that complicated.

那不是那么复杂的。

I don’t use advanced vocabulary or very complicated grammar.

我没有用更进阶的词汇或 很复杂的语法。

You can do it!

您可以做到。

Maybe with some mistakes, but if you can understand this video, you can make an answer like this.

也许有一些错误，但是如果您可以理解这个 视频，您就可以做一个像这样的回答。

It just takes practice.

那要练习。

Secondly, maybe you’re thinking: “Thanks very much, Oli.

其次，也许您在想： “Thanks very much, Oli.

Now I know how to answer one question.

Now I know how to answer one question.

How does that help me?

How does that help me?

They’re going to ask me different questions in my exam.”

They’re going to ask me different questions in my exam.”

You can use these ideas to answer any question in part three of the IELTS speaking test.

您可以用这些想法去在雅思口语测试 第三部分里回答任何问题。

You can’t possibly prepare for every question they might ask you.

您不太可能准备他们可能会 问您的每一个问题。

But you can remember to think of reasons, think of examples, and so on.

但是您可以记住想想理由、 想想例子，类似这样的。

This will make your answers better.

这会让您的回答更好。

Next, let’s look at some different advice for part three:

接下来，我们看一些对第三部分 不同的建议：

Number four: use filler phrases to give yourself thinking time.

第四：用填充短语来给自己 考虑时间。

Your answers in part three will often be longer and more complicated compared to part one

在第三部分您的回答会更长，并比第 一部分或第二部分更复杂，

or part two, so trying to give an answer like this without thinking could be difficult.

所以试着给出一个像这样的 没有觉得会难的回答。

If you start speaking without thinking first, your answer might be disorganized and difficult

如果您没有先思考就开始讲，您的 回答也许是没有组织并

to follow.

很难去追随的。

So what should you do?

那么您应当做什么？

If you need a few seconds to think and organize your thoughts, use a filler phrase.

如果您需要几秒钟去思考和组织您 考虑的，使用一个填充短语。

For example:

例如：

"Let me think about that for a second."

"Let me think about that for a second."

"That’s an interesting question."

"That’s an interesting question."

"What can I say about that?"

"What can I say about that?"

You can also use filler phrases in the middle of your answer, if you need to pause and think.

如果您需要暂停并思考一下，您也 可以在您的回答中间使用填充短语。

For example,

例如：

"What else can I say?"

"What else can I say?"

"Let me see—can I think of an example?"

"Let me see—can I think of an example?"

"What other reasons could there be for this?"

"What other reasons could there be for this?"

Filler phrases are natural—native speakers use them, so you can use them, too.

填充短语是自然的 — 母语人士使用它们， 所以您也可以使用它们。

It's much better to use a filler phrase than just to sit there in silence.

使用一个填充词要比只坐在 那里沉默要更好。

Using filler phrases like this shows the examiner that you’re really thinking about the question,

使用像这样的填充词告诉考官 您真的在考虑问题，

and that you have more to say.

您有更多要说的。

On the other hand, don’t use filler phrases too much.

另一方面，不要用填充 短语太多。

You can’t use them for every question or all the time.

您不能每个问题或 随时都用它们。

Save them for the more complicated questions, when you really need some extra thinking time.

在您真正地需要一些额外的考虑时间 时，把它们留给更复杂的问题。

Filler phrases can give you more thinking time, but what if you really can’t think

填充短语可以给您更多考虑时间， 但是如果您真的不能想到

of anything to say?

任何可以说的呢？

Okay, let's look.

好，我们来看看。

Part five: be honest.

第五部分：要诚实。

I know we said before that it’s OK to lie or make up examples, but what if you really

我知道我们之前说撒谎或编造一个 例子那是可以的，但是如果您真的

can’t think of anything, even a lie, even a fake story?

想不起任何事情，甚至是一个 谎言、一个假故事呢？

If you really have no ideas about something, say so.

如果您真的没有关于某事 的想法，这样说。

For example, the examiner asks you:

例如，考官问您：

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

"Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past?"

You could say:

您可以说：

"I really have no idea.

"I really have no idea.

I don’t have children, and none of my friends do either.

I don’t have children, and none of my friends do either.

I’m afraid it’s just not a topic I can say much about."

I’m afraid it’s just not a topic I can say much about."

Be careful: you shouldn’t do this unless it’s absolutely necessary.

小心：车费那是绝对必要的， 您不要这样做。

You also need to give a reason why you don’t have anything to say.

您也需要给出一个为什么您没有 任何可以说的事情的理由。

You need to make it clear to the examiner that it’s not just your English skills which

您需要向考官澄清在一个完整的 回答里暂停那不是

are stopping you from giving a full answer.

您的英语技能问题。

Secondly, if you do this, you can only really do it once.

其次，如果您这样做了，您真的 只能做一次。

Finally, even if you do this, you should still try to speculate.

最后，甚至如果您这样做了， 您仍然要试着去推测。

For example:

例如：

"I really have no idea.

"I really have no idea.

I don’t have children, and none of my friends do either.

I don’t have children, and none of my friends do either.

I’m afraid it’s just not a topic I can say much about.

I’m afraid it’s just not a topic I can say much about.

I suppose that children might be less active than in the past, because they spend more

I suppose that children might be less active than in the past, because they spend more

time online and playing video games and things like that."

time online and playing video games and things like that."

You need to put thought into your answer, and try to add details, even if your answer

You need to put thought into your answer, and try to add details, even if your answer

is basically “I don’t know.”

is basically “I don’t know.”

Otherwise, it could affect your IELTS score.

否则，那会影响您的雅思评分。

However, this can save you if you get a question which you really don’t know how to answer.

然而，如果您得到一个您真的不知道 怎么回答的问题，这可以救您。

It won’t affect your score if you make your reasons clear, and if you put some thought

如果您澄清了您的理由，如果您置入 某些想到的到您的回答里，

into your answer.

那不会影响您的评分。

The examiner wants you to speak.

考官想要您说。

By saying something like this to the examiner, you’re saying, “I can’t say much about

通过讲述像这样的事情给考官， 您正在说：“I can’t say much about

this, so give me a different question or topic.”

this, so give me a different question or topic.”

Being honest like this is much better than trying to answer the question when you have

当您不知道要说什么时，像这样 诚实一点是比试着

no idea what to say.

回答问题更好。

Just remember, this is something you can only use if it's really necessary.

只要记住，如果那真正是有必要的， 这是您唯一可以做的。

Okay, our last point:

好的，我们的最后一个重点：

Part six: interact with the examiner.

第六部分：和考官互动。

Part three of the IELTS speaking test is different, because it’s the first time in the speaking

雅思口语测试的第三部分是 不同的，因为那是在口语

exam that the examiner can actually talk to you.

测试里考官首次真的和您聊。

In parts one and two, the examiner is reading a script.

在测试的第一部分和第二部分， 考官是读一个脚本。

He or she has very little freedom to respond to what you say.

他或她有非常有限的自由 去回应您说的。

However, part three is different.

然而，第三部分是不同的。

The examiner can respond to what you say, and take part in the conversation more.

考官可以回应您说的， 并参与更多的对话。

What does this mean for you?

这对您意味着什么？

During part three of the IELTS speaking exam, you need to listen to what the examiner says,

在雅思口语测试的第三部分期间， 您需要听考官说的，

and think about what he or she wants you to do.

考虑他或她想让您做什么。

For example:

例如：

Is the examiner responding to something you said, or asking a new question?

考官是回复您说的事情， 还是问一个新问题？

Is the examiner asking for more details about something you said?

考官是问与您说的事情 有关的更多细节吗？

Is the examiner asking you to give your opinion, or respond to a different opinion?

考官是要求您给出您的观点， 还是回答一个不同的观点？

This also means that you shouldn’t expect to just speak for as long as you want.

这也意味着您不要期望只是您想要 说多久就可以说多久。

The examiner can—and will—jump into the conversation to ask extra questions, or to

考官可以 — 并会 — 跳到会话里问 额外的问题，或改变

change the direction a little bit.

一点方向。

You need to be flexible in part three.

您要在第三部分保持灵活性。

In parts one and two, you’re given questions and you can answer without being interrupted,

在第一部分和第二部分，您有给出的问题， 您的回答可以不会被中断，

you can say what you want.

您可以说您想说的。

In part three, you need to interact with the examiner.

在第三部分，您要和考官互动。

It should be more like a natural conversation, rather than a question-answer format.

它更像是自然地对话， 而不是一个问答的形式。

Okay, that’s the end of the lesson on part three.

好，第三部分的课程就到这结束了。

I hope all this IELTS advice was useful.

我希望这些雅思建议是有用的。

If you’ve watched all of our videos on the IELTS speaking exam, you should now have a

如果您看了我们所有的雅思 口语测试的视频，您现在
