Here we look at the criteria of lexical resource.
在這段視頻中,我們將介紹雅思口語考試的評分標準之一——詞匯多樣性。
This is one of four criteria on which you will be tested, look for the other three criteria in other videos.
這是雅思口語考試的四個評分標準之一。我們會在其他視頻中分別介紹另外三項評分標準。
Lexical resource focuses on the range of vocabulary a candidate uses.
“詞匯多樣性”著重考查考生所使用詞匯的廣泛性。
The wider the range, the better you will score.
使用的詞匯越廣泛,越多樣,你的分數越高。
You will need to understand these factors to score well on the test.
要在考試中展現詞匯多樣性,你需要注意以下幾點。
The ability to use vocabulary effectively, including the right collocation, that is words naturally used together.
首先是有效使用詞匯的能力,這包括正確使用詞語搭配,也就是通常用在一起的詞語。
For instance, lion's roar, lions do not shout.
例如,lion's roar(獅吼), 而不是 lion's shout。
Alternatively, we make a phone call, we do not do a phone call.
再例如,我們說“make a phone call (打電話)”,而不是“do a phone call”。
And awareness of connotation.
其次是對于詞義內涵的認識。
This refers to the positive, neutral or negative associations some words have.
某些詞語可能含有褒義、貶義或中性的深層意義。
For example, laid-back, positive; inactive, neutral: lazy, negative.
例如,laid-back褒義;inactive 中性;lazy 貶義。
Slim, thin, skinny.
再例如slim褒義;thin中性;skinny貶義。
The use of less common vocabulary or expressions.
第三點是使用并不常見的詞語或表達方式。
Many candidates memorize impressive lists of vocabulary but often end up using them in the wrong way,
許多考生背誦很長很長的單詞表,令人驚嘆,但卻無法正確地在交流中使用這些詞匯,
because they haven't understood them properly.
因為他們并沒有真正理解其中的意思。
To improve your vocabulary, we recommend these steps.
我們建議從以下幾個步驟豐富你的詞匯。
Always try to learn new vocabulary when reading in English; look out for new words.
閱讀英語的時候,要時刻想著學習新詞匯,留意出現的新詞。
Seeing words in their context helps you learn the meaning, usage and collocation.
了解這些詞匯出現的上下文可以幫助掌握準確的意思、用法和搭配。
