如何在口语中使用复杂结构

今天我给大家分享一下前雅思考官Simon解释的雅思口语中需要使用的复杂结构问题。

IELTS Speaking: complex structures?

Students often worry that they need to use "complex structures" in the speaking test. But what is a complex structure?

简单句：

A. Some students like to study in the mornings.

B. Juan and Arturo play football every afternoon.

C. Alicia goes to the library and studies every day

并列句：

A. I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to

speak English.

B. Alejandro played football, so Maria went shopping.

复合句：

A. When he handed in his homework, he forgot to give

the teacher the last page.

B. The teacher returned the homework after she

noticed the error.

C. The students are studying because they have a test

tomorrow.

D. After they finished studying, Juan and Maria went to

the movies.

并列句和复合句就是所谓的复杂结构，我们可以看出，复杂结构并不复杂。

考官建议：

Here's my advice: stop worrying about the need for "complex" grammar. Instead, focus on expressing your ideas well. As you explain your ideas in detail, you will naturally produce longer sentences which contain a variety of grammatical features.

很多同学在考场上努力说复杂句，结果是错误连篇，并表意不清，让考官一头雾水。实际上，真正难的是把话说简单，把话说明白。我经常逼着学生说简单句，拿个and进行连接就变成了并列句，句子也长了，话也说明白了。
