雅思考試 — 口說 怎麼做第三部分

Hi, I’m Oli.

嗨，我是Oli。

Welcome to Oxford Online English.

歡迎來到Oxford Online English。

In this lesson, you can learn about the IELTS speaking exam part three.

在本節課裡，您可以學習與雅思口說 考試第三部分有關的東西。

The IELTS speaking test has three parts.

雅思口說考試有三個部分。

In this class, you can learn in more detail about part three of the speaking exam, and

在這節課裡，您可以學到有關口說考試 第三部分更多的細節，以及

how to get a better score.

怎麼獲得一個好分數。

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

首先，我們複習一下在雅思口說考試 第三部分發生了什麼事情。

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

考官會問您一些與某個主題 有關的開放結尾問題。

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

主題通常與您在考試的第二部分 所講的相關。

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

例如，如果在第二部分的主題是 “Talk about a sport you enjoy playing,”

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

那麼第三部分的主題也幾乎 肯定會是與運動有關的。

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

在第三部分，考官想看到您能夠 清楚地表達您的觀點。

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

他們也想看看您能否談論更多有 吸引力的主題，而不僅僅是

your own life.

關於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

同樣，在第三部分，考官能夠回復 您說的，並把對話

in different directions.

帶往不同的方向。

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

意思是那比口說考試的其他 部分更像是一個

exam.

自然的對話。

The other parts follow a script.

其他的部分會追隨一個腳本。

The questions in part three are generally quite simple.

在第三部分的問題一般來說 是很簡單的。

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

然而，您要留意；就因為問題是 簡單的，那不意味著

your answers should be simple.

您的回答肯定會簡單。

The questions give you an opportunity to speak.

那些問題給了您一個機會去講。

You need to use that opportunity.

您要利用那個機會。

So how can you do that?

那麼您要怎麼做那個？

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

嗨，我們拿出一些與運動有關 的主題的問題事例；

"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.

我們看看您怎麼有效地 回答這個問題。

Part one: support your opinions.

第一部分：支持您的觀點。

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,

不要講某些像是，

"Yes, I agree."

"Yes, I agree."

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

那不足以給出您的觀點； 您也需要支持您的想法。

How can you do this?

您要怎樣做？

Well, first, try to give a reason.

好，首先，試著給出一個理由。

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，試著添加一個您 生活裡的事例。

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，如果我沒有 想到一個理由呢？

What if I don't have an example?

如果我沒有想到一個事例呢？

No problem—just add one or the other.

沒問題 — 就添加一個或其他的。

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

但是，如果我想不到我生活裡 的例子或任何理由呢？

No problem—just make one up!

沒問題 — 就編造一個。

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，對嗎？

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

但是您猜猜怎樣 — 我沒有 一個名字叫Sam的朋友！

I just made it all up.

我只是編造了一個。

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

那完全是一個謊言，那一點 都沒關係。

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

考官不在乎您正在講的是 真的還是假的。

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

用一個想像的朋友編造一個 例子很有用。

Here's another trick:

這是另一個技巧：

"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.

同樣，沒有問卷。

I just made it up.

我只是編造了一個。

I'm lying!

我在騙。

And again: no one cares.

同樣：沒人在乎這個。

You can do this too.

您也可以這樣做。

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

考官不會停止考試，上網去 查證您的研究。

They don't care.

他們不在乎。

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

然而，記住這僅適用於緊急情況，如果 您想不起任何要說的 — 像

difficult to think of things like this.

這樣去想某事是困難的。

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

如果可以的話，使用真實 的事例總是更好。

Now it’s your turn.

現在輪到您了。

Think about the question:

考慮問題：

"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，您同意還是不同意？

Secondly, why do you agree or disagree?

其次，您為什麼同意或不同意？

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

再次，您可以想到源於您自己生活的 或您認識的朋友的事例嗎？

Think about how you would answer this question.

考慮您怎麼回答這個問題。

Okay, part two: speculate—talk about possibilities.

好，第二部分：推測 — 談論可能性。

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

通過推測，您可以在雅思口說考試 的第三部分做到回答更好。

What's speculating?

什麼是推測？

What does speculate mean?

推測意思是什麼？

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

推測意思是談論您不確定的某事。

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

例如，就我們的問題的事例， 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.

通過說 “I’m not sure why that is.

Maybe it’s because…”

Maybe it’s because…”

By doing this, you are speculating.

通過做這個，您正在推測。

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

您在談論您不知道的某事，而您

could be true.

正在說那可能是真的。

You’re talking about possibilities.

您在談論可能性。

Speculating is a really useful tool.

推測是一個真的很有用的工具。

It lets you extend your answer.

那會拓展您的回答。

It lets you use advanced language.

您會用到進階的說法。

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

您也會用來談論您 不知道的某事。

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

很多學生抱怨他們不知道在雅思 口說考試裡要說什麼。

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

這裡有一個解決方案；這裡有一個回答。

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

您可以談論您不知道的事情 和想法；您不是一定要

about facts.

談論事實。

So, how can you speculate?

那麼，您怎麼去推測？

There are many simple phrases and structures you can use.

有很多您可以用的簡單片語和結構。

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

首先，用一個動詞像是“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，您可以用一個片語像是 “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，您可以用一個if假設句型。

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.

在雅思口說考試的第三部分 盡可能地推測。

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

那會幫您得到更長的回答 並獲得更好的評分。

Part three: how the other side of the argument.

第三部分：爭論的另一面是怎樣的。

A lot of IELTS advice sounds the same.

很多雅思建議聽起來雷同。

“Develop your answers.”

“Develop your answers.”

“Add details.”

“Add details.”

“Make your answers longer.”

“Make your answers longer.”

Okay, but how?

好，但是怎樣？

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

這裡有最簡單的方法：不要只給出 您自己的觀點；也討論

too.

相反的觀點。

Let’s stay with our sample question and answer.

我們從我們的問題事例 和回答開始。

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

來複習一下，您想讚同小孩現在做 運動比以前少的觀點。

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

您開始您的回答，您給出理由 和佐證，您推測。

Next, discuss the other side of the argument.

接下來，討論爭論主題的反方的觀點。

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

您會用連接詞像是“on the other hand”或“however”，同樣，

is all making your answer longer and more detailed.

您的回答會更長 並有更多細節。

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

我們還沒結束，但是我們來複習 這三點，因為他們

connected.

都是相連的。

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

在雅思口說考試的第三部分，您可以 通過以下方法改進您的回答：

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

增加支持您的觀點的理由；使用 源於您生活的事例；

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

推測（=談論可能性，以及您不確定 的事情）；及談論

the argument.

爭論的反方觀點。

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

如果您做所有這些，您可以 反轉一個糟糕的回答：

"Yes, I agree."

"Yes, I agree."

Into this:

變成這個：

"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.

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

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

to technology."

to technology."

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

您可以看到怎樣依照幾個簡單的步驟 就能幫助您擴充並拓展

into something really good.

您的回答成某些真的很好的東西。

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說考試的第三 部分像這樣回答，

get a good score.

您會獲得好評分。

Okay, I know what you’re thinking.

好，我知道您在想什麼。

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 — 我認為您可以做得到。

Here’s why:

這裡是為什麼：

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考試的學生階等 是5-6-7的評分，他們的目標

7, rarely higher.

可能是6、6.5、7，甚至是更高。

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

如果您沒有在這個階等，那麼您也有了 要做像這樣的某事的說法。

Go back, read the answer again.

回頭，再讀一遍答案。

It isn’t that complicated.

那不是那麼的複雜。

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

我沒有用更進階的字彙或 很複雜的語法。

You can do it!

您能做到。

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

也許有一些錯誤，但是如果您可以理解這個 影片，您就能做出一個像這樣的答案。

It just takes practice.

那要練習。

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

其次，也許您在想： “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.

您能用這些想法在雅思口說考試 第三部分裡回答任何問題。

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

您不太可能準備好他們可能會 問您的每一個問題。

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

但是您可以記住想一想理由、 想一想事例，類似這樣的。

This will make your answers better.

這樣您的回答會更好。

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

接下來，我們看一些對 第三部分不同的建議：

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

第四：用填充片語來給自己 思考時間。

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

在第三部分，您的回答會更長，並比第 一部分或第二部分更複雜，

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

所以，試著給出一個像這樣的 不會覺得很難的回答。

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

如果您沒有先思考一下就開始講，您的 回答也許是沒有組織的

to follow.

並且很難去接續。

So what should you do?

那麼您應當做什麼？

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

如果您需要幾秒鐘去思考和組織 考慮到的東西，用一個填充片語。

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.

如果您需要暫停並思考一下，您也 可以在您的回答中間加填充片語。

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.

填充片語是自然的 — 母語人士會用它們， 所以您也可以用它們。

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

用一個填充單字要比只坐在 那裡沉默要更好。

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

用這樣的填充單字會告訴考官 您真的在考慮問題，

and that you have more to say.

您有更多要說的。

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

另一方面，不要用填充 片語太多。

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

您不能每個問題或 隨時都在用它們。

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

在您真正地需要一些額外的思考時間 時，把它們留給更複雜的問題。

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

填充片語可以給您更多的思考時間， 但是如果您真的想不起來

of anything to say?

任何可以說的呢？

Okay, let's look.

好，我們來看看。

Part five: be honest.

第五部分：要誠實。

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

我知道我們之前說謊或編造一個 事例那是可以的，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，甚至是一個 謊言、一個假故事呢？

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

如果您真的沒有關於某事 的想法，就這樣說。

For example, the examiner asks you:

例如，考官問您：

"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:

您可以說：

"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：那是絕對必要的， 您不這麼做。

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

您也需要給出一個為什麼您沒有 任何可以說的事情的理由。

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

您要向考官澄清在整個回答裡 暫停那不是

are stopping you from giving a full answer.

您的英文技能問題。

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

其次，如果您這麼做了，您真的 只能做一次。

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

最後，甚至如果您這樣做了， 您仍然要試著來推測。

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.

否則，那會影響您的雅思評分。

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

然而，如果您得到一個您真的不知道 怎麼回答的問題時，這可以拯救您。

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，如果您植入 某些想到的東西到您的回答裡，

into your answer.

那不會影響您獲得的評分。

The examiner wants you to speak.

考官想要您開口說。

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

通過講述像這樣的事情給考官聽， 您正在說：“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

在您不知道要說什麼時，像這樣 誠實一點是比試著

no idea what to say.

回答問題更好。

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

只要記住，如果那真正是有必要的， 這是您唯一可以做的。

Okay, our last point:

好的，我們看最後一個重點：

Part six: interact with the examiner.

第六部分：和考官互動。

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

雅思口說考試的第三部分是 不同的，因為那是在口說

exam that the examiner can actually talk to you.

考試裡考官首次真的和您聊天。

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

在考試的第一部分和第二部分， 考官只是讀一個腳本。

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

他或她有非常有限的自由 來回復您說的。

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.

考官可以回復您說的， 並參與更多的對話。

What does this mean for you?

這對您意味著什麼？

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

在雅思口說考試的第三部分， 您要聽考官說的，

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

考慮他或她想要您做什麼。

For example:

例如：

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

考官是回復您說的事情， 還是問一個新問題？

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

考官是問與您說的事情 有關的更多細節嗎？

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

考官是要求您給出您的觀點， 還是回答一個不同的觀點？

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

這也意味著您不要期望只是您想要 說多久就可以說多久。

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

考官可以 — 並會 — 跳到對話裡問 額外的問題，或改變

change the direction a little bit.

一點方向。

You need to be flexible in part three.

您要在第三部分保持靈活性。

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，您有給出的問題， 您的回答可以不被中斷，

you can say what you want.

您可以說您想說的。

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

在第三部分，您要和考官互動。

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

它更像是自然的對話， 而不是一個問答的形式。

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

好，第三部分的課程就到這結束了。

I hope all this IELTS advice was useful.

我希望這些雅思建議是有用的。

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

如果您看了我們所有的雅思 口說考試的影片，您現在

good idea of what to expect and what to do in the IELTS speaking test.

會有一個在雅思考試期間 期望要做什麼的好主意。

Good luck if you have an exam coming up!

如果您不久會有一個 考試，祝您好運！
