雅思口說考試有三部分，在本節課裡，您可以 學到與口說考試第二

about part two of the speaking exam, and how to improve your score.

部分有關的更多細節，以及您要怎樣 提高您的評分。

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

首先，我們來複習在雅思口說考試 第二部分發生了什麼。

The examiner will give you a card with a topic.

考官會給您一個寫有話題的卡片。

You have one minute to prepare a short speech on the topic.

您有一分鐘來準備一個與 話題有關的簡短發言。

After one minute, the examiner will ask you to speak.

You need to talk for between one and two minutes.

您要講大約一分鐘到兩分鐘。

After you finish, the examiner will ask you one or two simple questions about what you

在您完成之後，考官會問您一到兩個 與您說的有關的

said.

簡單問題。

Let’s look at a sample question from part two of the IELTS speaking test which we’ll

我們來看一個會在這節課裡用到的 雅思口說考試第二

use during this lesson:

部分裡的簡單話題：

Describe an important choice you made.

描述一個您做過的重要選擇。

You should say:what choices you had, what you decided, and how easy it was to make your

您要說：您曾有過什麼選擇， 您曾決定什麼、您做

decision.

決定有多容易。

You should also explain how you feel about this choice now.

您也要解釋現在您覺得這個決定怎樣。

Imagine: you’re in the exam.

想像一下：您在考試。

You have one minute to prepare your answer.

您有一分鐘準備您的回答。

How should you use your time?

您要怎樣使用您的時間？

Let's look!

我們來看看！

Part one: how to use your preparation time.

第一部分：怎樣用您的準備時間。

The first thing you should do: ask the examiner if there are any words you don’t understand!

您要做的第一件事：如果您有任何 不懂的單字，問考官！

Asking the examiner will use some of your time, and that’s not great.

問考官會用掉您的一點時間， 那不是很好。

But, don't talk if you haven’t understood the question; that will be worse.

但是，如果您不理解問題，就無法講； 那會很糟糕。

Secondly, look at the question.

其次看看問題。

It has four parts: the three bullet points, and the longer question at the end.

如果話題有四個部分：三個問題點，以及 在結尾有更長的問題。

One minute is not a long time.

一分鐘不是很長的。

You can’t prepare everything, so don’t try.

您不能準備好任何問題， 所以不要嘗試。

Try to think of one or two things you can say for each part of the question.

試著考慮話題的每個問題點裡您 可以說的一兩件事情。

Make short notes to help you remember your points.

做小抄來幫您記住您的要點。

How can you make effective notes?

您要怎樣做一個有效率的小抄？

Let’s look:

我們來看看：

For example, let’s say you want to talk about choosing what to study at university.

例如：我們來說說您想談論 選擇在大學裡學什麼。

You write:

您寫：

"Computer science or engineering."

"電腦科學或工程“

"IT—interesting career opportunities."

"IT—有趣的工作機會."

"Difficult—pros and cons on both sides."

"困難 — 二者利弊."

"Satisfied—IT work is interesting/creative."

"滿意 — IT工作是有趣的/有創意的。"

These notes will help you to speak.

這些小抄會幫您說。

Let’s see how:

我們來看看是怎樣的：

The four parts of the notes follow the four parts of the question.

小抄的四個部分要緊貼話題 的四個問題。

This will help you to keep your answer organized.

這會幫您保持回答是有組織的。

You have some key words and phrases like 'career opportunities', 'pros and cons' or 'creative'

您有一些關鍵詞和片語像是“career opportunities“、”pros and cons“或”creative“

which you can use in your answer.

在您的回答裡您可以用哪一個？

The notes give you at least one or two points to make about each part of the question.

小抄給您至少一個或兩個要點 來解決每一個問題問的。

Again, you won’t have time to do more than this, so don’t try.

同樣，您沒更多時間做其他的， 所以不要試。

Don’t write full sentences—focus on covering all the points you need to talk about.

不要寫整句話 — 記下要點覆蓋您要 談論的所有重點。

OK—your minute’s up, and it’s time to talk!

好 — 您的時間到了，是 時候開始談了！

Now what?

怎麼辦？

Part two: how to organize your answer.

第二部分：怎樣組織您的回答。

Organizing your answer well is easy to do, and important, but many students don’t do

組織好您的回答是容易的，也是 重要的，但是很多學生

it so well.

做得不是很好。

So how can you organize your answer effectively?

那麼您怎樣有效率地組織您的回答？

First, start with an opening phrase.

首先，用一個開場片語開始。

Say something like:

說些像是：

"I’m going to tell you about…"

"I’m going to tell you about…"

"I’d like to talk about…"

"I’d like to talk about…"

"I’ve decided to talk about…"

"I’ve decided to talk about…"

This gives your speech a strong, clear start.

這樣您的講述會有一個強而 清晰的開始。

What next?

接下來呢？

Very simple: follow the bullet points.

很簡單：追隨重點。

Say 1-2 sentences, using your notes, about each of the three bullet points.

三個問題裡的每一個都要說1-2個句子， 使用您的小抄。

Hopefully, this will take you 30-60 seconds.

希望這會耗費您30-60秒的時間。

Be focused, and don’t go off topic or add any points which don’t answer the question.

要集中，不要離題或不要添加沒有 回答到問題的東西。

Every sentence should be a direct answer to one of the points on the card.

每個句子要是一個對卡片上 問題點的直接回答。

Next, focus on the last part of the question—“…explain how you feel about this choice now.”

接下來，集中在話題的最後一個問題 —“…解釋 您現在覺得這個選擇怎樣。”

This is the most important part of the question, because it lets you go into more detail.

這是所有問題最重要的部分， 因為您會進入更多細節。

This isn’t just true for this question; this is generally true for IELTS speaking

不只是這個問題是這樣的，雅思口說 考試通常是這樣的。

part two questions.

第二部分的問題。

The three bullet points are quite simple, and you can’t say very much about them,

三個問題點是十分簡單的， 有時您不能說

sometimes.

太多。

The last part has more depth, and you should spend more time on it.

最後一部分更深入，您要花 更多時間在這上面。

So, try to make 3-4 sentences about the last part of the question.

所以，試著造 3-4個與最後 一個部分有關的句子。

This should take you 30-60 seconds, again.

這同樣要花您大約30-60秒鐘的時間。

Great!

很好！

You’ve finished, right?

您完成了，對嗎？

Well, not quite.

好，不完全是。

You also need a strong finish.

您也許要一個很強的結尾。

Often, when I practice IELTS with my students, they act surprised when they finish their

通常，在我們和我們的學生練習雅思時， 在他們結束回答時，

answers, like this:

他們感到驚訝，像是這堂：

“…and so I feel like I probably made the right choice…

“…and so I feel like I probably made the right choice…

… …

… …

Finished!”

Finished!”

This doesn’t sound like you’ve finished.

這聽起來不像是您已經結束了。

It sounds like you’ve just run out of things to say.

那聽起來像是您只是說 玩要說的事情。

You should know when you’ve finished, and you should show the examiner clearly.

您要知道您什麼時候結束， 您要清楚地表明給考官知道。

How can you finish strongly?

您怎麼有一個很強的結尾？

Use a concluding phrase, such as:

使用一個總結片語，比如：

"That’s why I feel that…"

"That’s why I feel that…"

"Finally, when I look back at my decision now…"

"Finally, when I look back at my decision now…"

"I’m glad I made the decision I did."

"I’m glad I made the decision I did."

Obviously, the finishing phrases aren’t like the opening phrases, which you can use

很顯然，結尾片語不像是您用於 任何話題的

for any topic.

開場片語。

The finishing phrases will depend on the question you get.

結尾片語取決於您得到的問題。

Just remember: you need to finish strongly, don’t just…

就記住：您需要很強的結尾， 不只是…

…

…

…

…

Okay, I’ve finished point 2!

好，我完成第二點了。

What’s next?

接下來是什麼？

Part three: adding details to your answer.

第三部分：添加細節到您的回答裡。

A lot of IELTS advice says the same things: give detailed answers, use varied vocabulary,

很多雅思建議說同一件事情： 給出詳細的回答，使用各種單字，

use different sentence structures.

使用不同的句子構建。

OK, that’s great, it’s all true, but how?

好，那太好了，那都是真的， 但是怎麼做呢？

And how can you use this in part two of your IELTS speaking test?

您怎樣在雅思口說考試的 第二部分用這個？

Actually, if you follow the advice I’ve given you so far, this will happen automatically.

實際上，如果您遵循到現在為止我給 您的建議，這就會自動發生。

If you make two sentences for each bullet point, make 3-4 sentences for the last part

如果您給每個問題點造兩個句子，給 最後一個問題造3-4個句子，

of the question, write down key vocabulary to use in your notes; if you do these things,

做小抄寫下關鍵字彙， 如果您做到這些事情，

your answer should already be detailed, with good vocabulary.

您的回答肯定有細節， 有好的字彙。

We’ve already done a lot of the work you need to do here.

我們已經做了大量的 您要在這做的工作。

What else can you do?

您還能做什麼呢？

For each point, try to give at least one fact and at least one opinion.

就每一個問題點，試著給出至少一個 事實以及至少一個觀點。

For example, don’t say:

例如，不要說：

"I had to choose between studying computer science and studying engineering."

"I had to choose between studying computer science and studying engineering."

Say:

說：

"I had to choose between studying computer science and studying engineering.

"I had to choose between studying computer science and studying engineering.

I was interested in both, although I always felt that studying computer science was a

better choice."

Don’t say:

不要說：

"I decided to study computer science."

"I decided to study computer science."

Instead, say:

取代的是，說：

"I decided to study computer science, because I felt that it would give me more interesting

"I decided to study computer science, because I felt that it would give me more interesting

career opportunities."

career opportunities."

This is a good, simple rule to make your answers more detailed.

這是一個好的、簡單的規則， 您的回答可以有更多的細節。

Always include a fact and an opinion if you can.

如果可以的話，您總是要 包含一個事實和一個觀點。

Add details wherever you can.

您在任何可以的地方添加細節。

Don’t say,

不要說。

"It was quite a difficult decision to make."

"It was quite a difficult decision to make."

Instead, say:

取代的是，說：

"It was quite a difficult decision to make, because my parents and my teachers all gave

me different advice, and I didn’t know what to do."

me different advice, and I didn’t know what to do."

Don’t say:

Say:

說：

"I feel like I made the right decision, because I really enjoy working in IT—it’s very

creative and there’s always something new to learn."

Following these simple rules will make your answers more detailed, and give you a higher

追隨這些簡單的規則，您的回答 會有更多細節，您得到

chance to get a better score.

一個好分數也會有更好的機會。

Next, let’s look at timing.

接下來，我們來看看計時。

Part four: how long should you speak?

第四部分：您要講多久？

This is simple: at least one minute.

這是簡單的：至少一分鐘。

Speaking for less than one minute will hurt your score.

講述少於一分鐘會扣分。

You can speak for up to two minutes.

您可以最多說兩分鐘。

After two minutes, the examiner will stop you, even if you’re in the middle of your

兩分鐘之後，考官會請您停止， 甚至是如果您的句子

sentence.

講到一半。

If the examiner stops you, that’s not necessarily a problem.

如果考官請您停止， 那不是一個問題。

It doesn’t affect your score if you go too long.

如果您講太長， 那不影響您的得分。

However, if you’ve haven’t covered all the parts of the question, that could be a
