The next thing that's very important is the vocabulary you use.
第二個重點是你所使用的詞匯。
Remember, you're getting marked on four different things. One of these things is vocabulary.
請記住,考官有四項評分標準,其中之一就是詞匯。
How do you improve your vocabulary mark?
如何提高你的詞匯得分呢?
Well, don't use simple, easy, boring, low-level words like,
不要用簡單、普通、無趣的低水平詞匯,
"I like basketball because it's good. I don't like soccer because it's bad."
如“我喜歡籃球因為它很好。我不喜歡足球因為它不好。”
These words, "bad, good ", they're too easy.
“好,壞”這些詞過于普通了。
You need to try to find vocabulary that is higher level and practice before you do the IELTS.
你應該試著去尋找更高水平的詞匯,并在雅思考試之前好好練習。
For example, a good thing to do is look at the list of topics you will probably be asked about.
例如,過一遍你可能被問到的話題列表就很有幫助。
Food is a very common thing they will ask you about.
食物是被經常問到的一個話題。
Try to come up with vocabulary in advance and practice this vocabulary about the different topics.
試著提前準備各個話題的詞匯并充分練習。
For example, I know they may ask me a question about food.
比方說,我知道他們會問我關于食物的問題。
I might learn some words that have to do with food.
我就去學一些食物相關的新詞。
Maybe I don't know the word "cuisine".
可能我還不認識“cuisine(美味佳肴)”這個詞。
Well, if they ask me a question about food, I can say, "My favorite type of food -- I love Indian cuisine."
他們問到食物時,我可以說,“我最喜歡的食物類型嘛——我熱愛印度美食(Indian Cuisine)。”
And there you go. They've just noticed you used a higher level word.
這就很不錯。考官會注意到你用了一個高級詞匯。
Same with friends.
換成朋友話題也一樣。
A common word we use when we talk about friends, we talk about "acquaintances".
談到朋友我們其實可以說“acquaintances(熟人,泛泛之交)”。
This is another good word to use.
這也是一個很好用的詞匯。
Again, try to come up with vocabulary for each of the different topics, and practice.
每個話題都一樣,找到相應的好詞匯,充分練習。
Now, in this part of the IELTS, the examiner may ask you about what you like.
在口試部分,考官常會問到你的愛好。
"Do you like to play sports? What hobbies do you like? What are your favorite foods?"
“你喜歡運動嗎?你的愛好是什么?你最喜歡的食物是什么?”
Now, one thing a lot of students do is they overuse "I like". "I like this. I like that. I like this. I like that."
很多同學的問題在于,過度使用“I like(我喜歡)”。“我喜歡這個,我喜歡那個。我喜歡這個,我喜歡那個。”
This is not going to help you with your vocabulary mark.
這可能會拉低你的詞匯分。
Instead of using "I like" a lot, try something different.
與其過度使用 I like,不如試試不同的表達。
"I enjoy playing basketball. I enjoy hanging out with my friends.
“我很享受打籃球的樂趣。和朋友出去玩我感到很開心。
I really love yoga. I really love bowling." "I prefer playing sports to doing other activities."
我對瑜伽非常著迷。我熱愛打保齡球。”“相比其他課外活動,我更喜歡做運動。”
"I enjoy, I really love, I prefer"
“我享受、我熱愛、與……相比我更……”
-- I'm sure you can come up with more, but it's good to practice these types of expressions before you do the IELTS."
——你們肯定能找到更多表達,但在考試前多多練習這些表達才能學以致用。
