雅思口语拿高分的2个注意点
一、没有标准口音
在雅思口语考试中，其实是不存在所谓的“标准口音”，也就是说，只要音准，不管什么口音都可以，有些考生以为英音或者美国音可以取高分，当然，是没有这种说法的。顺便说明一点，尽管目前在大陆的考官有相当一部分为英国口音，但在某个考点也许有一个说美语的考官，因此要准备好适应不同的口音。
小站提醒：考生没有必要非得去模仿标准的英国英语(the standard Queen's English)不可。
实际上，考试允许考生有口音，只要不会影响到对方的理解，什么口音都无妨。顺便说明一点，尽管目前在大陆的考官有相当一部分为英国口音，但在某个考点也许有一个说美语的考官，因此要准备好适应不同的口音。
二、要自然易懂
很多考生总喜欢“卖弄”自己的词汇量，以为只要多用难词就可以取得高分，小站认为，假如把一位未受教育的澳大利亚老太太十天内所说过的话记录下来，其词汇量也许不超过一千!但任何人都不会怀疑她的英语口头表达能力。
三、语法并非绝对地重要
在雅思口语考试中，用词失误比语法事物更能造成考官的理解障碍。所以在用词的时候尽可能的做到可理解，可接受及不冒犯人，当然，重复最基本的语法错误也是不能容忍的，譬如“she”说成“he"，"I am"说"I is"等。
雅思考试口语范文之介绍电影
A traditional story :Chang’e and Houyi
Movie—starstruck
I recently watched a movie called Starstruck, which was a Disney movie, talking about how a famous pop star, Christopher, fell in love with an ordinary girl, Jessica. The movie was filmed in Los Angeles and was on in February 2010, not too old.
I chose it because of the ranking, but when I actually watched it, I realized that it was a teen’s movie. However, I didn’t regret watching it because I think I learned something from the movie. It is interesting because it sees celebrity life from another angle and tells us that we are blessed to be common people because there is more freedom for us to enjoy. In the film, it shows us how hard it might be when a person can’t make his own choices and decisions. At that point, material wealth will not matter to them because they can’t live their life the way they really want to.
It helped me to reflect on my own life. Now I see I should just enjoy my life because everyone has the right to enjoy his or her life no matter who he or she is.
雅思考试口语范文之中国的节日
Can you tell me something about the Chinese New Year Festival?
( 5 – 8 )
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding this topic ii that is a national festival celebrated all over China. It is commonly known as the ‘Spring Festival’. This does not mean that it takes place in the spring season. It starts on the first day of the lunar New Year, and lasts for fifteen days. Secondly, it is a very joyous time of the year, with best wishes being sent all around. For instance, there are firework displays, dinner parties, and dumplings at midnight, and the elder generations give money to the youngsters.
Why is this Festival so important to Chinese people? ( 5 – 8 )
In the distant past, the animal known as ‘Nian’ in Chinese was believed to eat people. It was afraid of fire, so fireworks were lit to scare the animal away, and so ensure a safe life. Today however, it is only a major time of rest for workers at the beginning of a new working year, and an opportunity to visit family and friends, and be generally happy and joyful.
Could you tell me something about the Lantern Festival? (5 – 8)
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding the Lantern Festival is that it marks the end of the Spring Festival. In other words it is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year.
Why is this Festival so important to Chinese people? ( 5 – 8 )
This day marks the last day of the annual Spring Festival.
Could you tell me something about the Qing Ming Festival? (5-8)
This festival takes place on the fifth of April. Fake money is sold by many stores and burned. The words for ‘burning’ and ‘sending a message’ sound similar in Chinese, so by burning fake money we believe that the money is being sent to the deceased in another world. In addition, flowers and fruit are place on the graves of loved ones.
Why is this Festival so important to Chinese people? ( 5 – 8 )
With this festival we remember relatives and friends that have passed away. It is a time of fond memories about those who we had loved.
雅思考试口语范文之交通
117. What public transport is available in your hometown? ( 5 – 8 )
There is a wide variety of transportation available in my hometown. For instance, busses follow routes all over the city. Secondly, taxis are usually available whenever you are in need of one. Of course they are more expensive than the busses, but then they are much faster and more comfortable. Lastly, there are the minibus taxis, but they are not to be recommended as they are known to drive recklessly.
118. What type of public transport do you prefer? ( 5 – 8 )
That’s an interesting question, which I must admit, I haven’t given much thought yet. Allow me to explain myself/my personal views by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I would say that I prefer to travel by bus. It is convenient, comfortable, and safe. For example, there is a bus stop right in front of my hostel, from where I can travel to any destination in the city. Some people might not think that it is all that comfortable, but I don’t mind standing all the way. I don’t think anybody will disagree that it is a very safe way of traveling. I still have to see a bus involved in a serious accident in Shenyang.
119. What can be done by the authorities to encourage people to use public transport more? ( 5 – 8 )
Firstly, I believe the tariffs can be lowered. For example, if people got a discount if they bought a monthly ticket, they would use the busses more. Secondly, an advertisement campaign could be launched. To be more specific, the newspapers and TV could be used to show the public the advantages of using public transport. Lastly, I believe that the service provided to the public can be improved. For example, in the rush hours all busses should have conductors. It is a well-known fact that woman, children, and the elderly are at risk of injuries if a bus does not have a conductor in the rush hours.
120. What are the main causes of road accidents in China? ( 5 – 8 )
There are several reasons. Allow me to explain myself by shortly mentioning the following reasons. Firstly, drunken driving is a great cause of road accidents. For example, a driver cannot judge distances as well when he is drunk as when he is sober. Secondly, speeding often results in accidents. For example, a driver cannot stop his vehicle suddenly when he is speeding. Lastly, bad road conditions cause many accidents. For example, a sharp curve in the road is a hazard at night, and might cause a vehicle to leave the road and overturn.
121. Do you think the government is doing enough to prevent road accidents in China? ( 5 – 8 )
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding this topic is that the government and local authorities could spend more money to improve the condition of our roads and highways. For example, we still too often find potholes in our roads. These cause accidents as drivers try to avoid the potholes while driving. In addition, the government could place more advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, and in that way make the country’s drivers more aware of the dangers.

Well, one particularly unpleasant experience that sticks in my memory was the time I went to Huangshan with my mum and brother, which must have been about 2 or 3 years ago, when my mum came over to visit me in Hangzhou. We had decided to go travelling to Huangshan as none of us had been there before, and we’d heard a lot of great things about it.
And basically what happened was that we got caught in a big storm, which seemed to spring up out of nowhere, because one minute it was pretty sunny, and the next it was, quite literally, pouring down with rain, and I mean, REALLY chucking it down!
What didn’t help us was the fact that, at the time the storm hit, we were right on top of a mountain, and because we hadn’t checked the weather forecast, we didn’t have any umbrellas with us, so we got absolutely soaked!
And the worst thing was, when we reached the cable car to get down the mountain, we were told that it had closed early for safety reasons, coz there were some flashes of lightening, and this apparently made the cable car unsafe to go in.
So we ended up having no choice but to walk down the mountain instead, and because it was still raining when we got to the bottom, we couldn’t find a single free taxi. So there we were, completely drenched and utterly exhausted, stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Thankfully, though, after what seemed like an eternity, a minivan finally pulled up and gave us a lift back to where we were staying, which was a huge relief. I honestly don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t come, because it was getting pretty dark and most people had already left the mountains, so thank goodness it came!
And looking back on it now, I would say I actually gained quite a lot from this experience, as it’s really kind of taught me to appreciate the times when I do have easy access to transportation, which is most of the time.
So yeah, that’s pretty much it, and I hope the story wasn’t too boring!
