雅思备考百问百答之口语篇：9分的口语答案是怎样的?如何达到呢?

摘要：非native的烤鸭有可能拿到雅思口语9分么？很难，但是确实是有的。与其思考这个问题，我想作为一个普通的考生，更应该思考的是：除开其它所有的因素，单纯看一个答案时，怎样的口语答案是完美的，是称得上9分的。我们虽不能至，但是可以学习之嘛。

9分的雅思口语答案是怎样的?怎样达到呢?我们能从9分的答案中找获什么提升自己的雅思口语成绩的方法呢？这是本文的雅思备考百问百答之口语篇要解决的问题。

首先回到前雅思口语考官simon，他对于一个9分口语答案组成，有一个很清楚的标准：

- Quality of language: rich vocabulary and detailed description

- Answers are relevant and well developed, with opinions and examples

翻译一下，大致的意思是：

第一条是语言本身的质量，包括丰富的词汇和详细的描述。

丰富的词汇就不用多说了，这里的详细的描述，其实就是你在说某一个东西的时，能否用清晰的语言让一个不知道的，没见过的人如临其境，如在眼前。就好像你要给一个老外介绍中国的春节，介绍中国的盲人按摩，介绍中国的“缘分”。无论是实物，还是一个抽象的概念，你的描述能力是非常能体现出你的对这个语言的运用能力的。所以，这也就是为什么我们遇上“describe a building/piece of art”时，会非常害怕的地方，因为这种对一个实物的活灵活现的描述，真的太要命了。

第二条是答案需要切题并且有层次感，配上观点和实例。

切题，也就是我们常说的不要跑题了，这个非常非常重要。相信做一个雅思考官，不管是口语还是写作，是看到太多太多的跑题了，因为笔者单单看看雅思中国网论坛的战友雅思作文，跑题现象太泛滥了。不切题常常有两种情况，一是我们的语言习惯所导致的，喜欢上来一顿东拉西扯，知道最后才给出问题的答案；另一种呢就是没听懂/读懂题目，悲剧地在自己想象的世界里遨游了。

答案的层次感，其实就是一个答案的构成部分要丰富而多面。按照simon的理解，对于一个part1或者part3的问题来说，一个究极的答案结构可以简化为：1.直接给出你对问题的回答；2.给出你的解释；3.给出你的故事/实例；4.再评价一下其他答案选择。

For me, these are the two main things to focus on if you want to get a higher score in IELTS speaking or writing. If you thought that grammar and linking were the most important things, you need to change your approach!

simon也很有针对性地对大家做出了提醒：这两条是他认为的雅思口语和写作高分中最重要的。如果你还着迷于高分语法，高分衔接词，你该醒醒了。

答案示例

Questions in part 3 of the speaking test follow on from the topic you were given in part 2. So, after last week's historic event question, you might be asked some further questions about history and events. For example:

1. What do you think we can learn by studying events of the past?

I think we can learn a lot by studying history. Just as individual people learn from their mistakes, societies can learn from the mistakes made by previous governments or leaders. For example, from what I've read in the newspapers, many economists are looking back to the time of the Great Depression, around 80 years ago, in order to understand the financial crisis that is currently affecting many countries around the world. Even if we don't always learn from mistakes, I think it's fascinating to study history because it gives us an insight into who we are and where we come from.

2. What important events do you think might take place in the future?

It's really difficult to predict what will happen in the future; most of the big, historic events of the past would have been impossible to foresee. For example, I don't think that anyone living 100 years ago could have imagined that people would one day walk on the moon! If I had to guess what might happen in the future, I'd like to think that scientists will invent cures for diseases like cancer, and we'll all live longer.

Part 1 style question

Examiner: How would you describe yourself?

Paula: Everyone tells me I take after(像) my mum as I’m quite laid-back(放松随和的) … I think I’m good company(好伙伴) but you should ask my friends if they agree …

Examiner: In which ways are you similar to your friends?

Manuel: I seem to be attracted to introverts(内向的人) … not people who are painfully shy(极端害羞的) but most of my friends are a little reserved(内敛的) … and I think that’s what I’m like …Examiner: Are you similar or different to your brother(s)/sister(s)?

Mira: I think my brother and I are very similar … I’d say we’re fun-loving(爱好玩乐的) and tend to be a bit extroverted(外向的) … my brother is certainly the life and soul of the party(派对活跃分子) … I’m not sure that applies to me …

Part 3 style question

Examiner: Which personal qualities do you think we most want to pass on to our children?

Martin: I certainly would want my children to be self-confident(自信的)and self-assured(自信的) … I really believe that people who feel good about themselves are in a good position to face what life has to offer them … and I’d hope they wouldn’t be self-centred(自我为中心的) … but remembered to think about others …

Examiner: Which characteristics do you think are the least appealing in a person?

Marianne: Well … people who are very narrow-minded(心胸狭窄的) are difficult to get on with … it’s nice when someone is open to other people’s opinion and willing to think about their own views … and people who are two-faced(两面三刀的) can be a little irritating … relationships are built on trust and without honesty there’s not much left …Examiner: Which personality types do you think are less likely to suffer from stress or anxiety?

Sol: Probably people who are thick-skinned(厚脸皮的) … who don’t let people or problems affect them too much … and if you are fair-minded(公正的) you’ ll be less likely to overreact to situations or be quick-tempered(容易发脾气的) …
