【南通环球教育(原环球雅思)】大叔缘之雅思口语教学初感 缪锦霞

雅思口语考官最爱和最恨的答案钱玉婷（Michelle）雅思口语话题准备是雅思考试的一个重要环节，所以做好充分准备是十分关键的，那么你知道雅思考官最喜欢什么样的答案吗?这也是我们备考需要了解的内容，这里是我收集整理出来的雅思口语考官最爱与最恨的答案，供大家参考。

雅思口语考官最爱的答案当然是原创性的答案了。

Something original is something perfec.先问一个常识性的问题：如果你是一位雅思口语考官，每次考试要接待30个考生，而每次问到food时，30个人都会异口同声地说delicious;每次问到What do you think of Shanghai?时，30个人的开场白都是Shanghai is a beautiful city。

这时你会有怎样的感受和心情?以这位考官的话来说，“You will be bored to death!”(你会厌烦到死!)直白地说，考官也是人，也有人的所有感情及情绪啊，每天都听到delicious, beautiful, important, international这些陈词滥调，自然会烦闷，对考生的口语成绩难免会有一些影响。

因此，强烈建议考生：You must say something original and don’t say “beautiful”all the time。

也就是说，在考官心目中，原创的精神比什么都重要，再好的词汇、再优美的语言，一旦成了人人口中的陈词滥调或“口水话”，就比任何东西都要糟糕。

就刚才的food问题，我们完全可以说fantastic, incredible, marvelous 等表示赞赏的词，而谈到对Shanghai的看法，情愿用Shanghai is a great city 这种更简单的语言来避免机械化的套路。

说到原创精神的培养，一是多开发点同义词和近义词，来替代原来的“口水话”：二是尽量多与外教交流或寻找机会与外国人谈话交流，及时注意他们在用词方面的原创之处，随时积累。

托福能力端听力教学剖析南通环球雅思口语老师缪锦霞依稀记得是今年年初接触托福能力端听力教程的，到如今已经差不多教了四五轮这个段的学生了，其中的所感与所得都促我更好地继续此方面的教学。

托福能力段分为三个大部分，一部分为pre-listening vocal buries 阶段，由于这部分的单词都会在后面两个部分出现并影响答题，所以都是要求学生重点关注记忆的。

一般情况下，在这几轮的教学中面对的都是基础略ordinary的，所以有些单词意思他们并不能很好地get到，而我主要除了解释读音与意思外，还有针对性地将相似的单词词组补充下来并鼓励他们多运用，并且下节课开始前都会进行默写练习。

总体而言大家的学习热情还算高，默写情况还算满意唯独有位一对一美眉基础薄弱得可以用Extremely 去形容也不为过，于是我就发挥一步一步踩蚂蚁的方式，边鼓励边教学，虽然进步没别人大但目测她还是学得很嗨皮和满意的。

第二部分的campus conversation 的场景通常设定十分日常，语速也很正常，很多小伙伴们都能理解得不错，有的基本接连满分，关于这部分的教学，我基本上会挑几项重点需要强调的地方，个别词的搭配，连词的侧重点，不会做到每句都精听，因为这着实没有那么必要而此举略显得浪费时间了。

关于第三部分学术类听力，尤其是unit 1和后面几个units, 在听的过程中大伙都将嘴张成0型，并保持此队形从始至终，反应也近乎相同，一致认为与听经书无异。

而对于这种情况，比抚慰他们受伤的心灵更重要的是详细分析听力细节，分析导致他们不能get到的盲点发音，其基本原因可以总结成如下几个部分: 其一，是听力敏感度不够，也就是说平时听的内容太少。

其二，即是不注意连读，而听力的内容往往是十分地道的，连读的地方也不胜枚举，因为他们平时没有树立这方面的意识导致有些即使是拆开来很简单的组合都没办法听清楚。

针对这种情况，除了督促他们将所讲的材料熟读，好词好句注意背诵之外，布置多一些课外作业是最直接有效的方法了。

英语学习与托福考试Agin很多还在国内的同学都有个借口，就是我英语不好是因为我在国内没有良好的环境，等我到国外了慢慢就好了。

错！我认为大部分英语好的人在出国之前功底就非常的深厚了，来国外只不过是锦上添花，把口音改一改，学一些当地的俚语。

所以如果想把英语功底打扎实，有一口流利的口语是需要在国内就下狠功夫的。

托福的准备过程其实是一个非常好的练习机会，大家应该把它看作是对自己英文水平提升的一个工具，而不仅仅是考试。

毕竟，这是对你有用的考试机会，而不想很多基本上只是浪费时间的大学考试。

在上学的时候，我建议听VOA。

即使现在还是可以隔三差五的听一听，主要是为了关注一下国际形势。

听也分精听和泛听。

听力的提高过程总结来说就是：听写-精听-泛听，听写是最困难、花功夫最久的一个过程。

真的就是放一句听一句。

5分钟的新闻稿需要花1-2个小时才能搞定。

开始听不懂的时候放个10遍还是听不懂，让人郁闷得很。

等到积累一段时间后其实发现新闻稿很多都是固定词汇的使用，比如there is no end in sight ….这种，都是比较官方的说法。

而且VOA报新闻的报来报去也就那么几个人，听多了以后感觉跟他们认识了就自然听得比较顺了。

在环球雅思,我们的老师带你越过听写这道坎之后（可能需要半年多的时间），开始精听。

我所谓的精听就是很仔细的去听一句一字，其实跟听写的仔细程度差不多，只不过不需要写下来。

听不懂的话就需要记下来，然后分析一下为啥听不懂。

90%听不懂的其实都是因为单词不熟悉，即使通过背诵GRE看着认识的单词，听到也是听不出来的，让人非常伤心。

所以我总觉得我们背单词的最大的缺点还是聋子单词，认识但听不懂，只能靠多听来慢慢熟悉了。

过了精听后就开始泛听了。

泛听大概就是在我做别的事情放着，主要是为了抓取内容同时保持听力水平不掉下去。

网上有个牛人Jackie把VOA，BBC变速听。

我自己也尝试过，是挺好的一个方法，不过我想如果不是要用英语作为求生技能的也没有太大必要。

身边的写作素材环球雅思南通分校对于烤鸭们来说，写作是一座难以攻克的大山。

似乎，把自己的想法转换成文字另不少人一筹莫展，又或者沾沾自喜地完成一篇自认为不错的议论文，实际却令他人迷惑不止，完全不知道全文在表达什么。

文化的差异使得非英语母语者在使用英语语言时遇到了极大的障碍。

如何使得自己的文字看起来非常地道——这一问题迫在眉睫。

而很多烤鸭面对众多材料也是囫囵吞枣，完全没有章法地背诵一些高分范文，将之生搬硬套写进自己的作文里，以为这样自己的文字就具有地道的 idiomaticity。

事实上，比起背诵范文，我们更应该把范文素材吃透，学习并且模仿一些习语的使用。

在分析范文的时候，我们并不能只盯着生词和长句，而是看看native speaker使用的一些简单的习语中有哪些自己并不曾见过或者使用过，因为这样的表达方式对于考官来说是familiar，并且在考生中是less common phrases。

So feelings about one;s job must reflect how an individual feels about his or her life as a whole, ... (剑7 Test 3 Writing Task 2考官范文) 这句话中没有使用任何难词，但是我们需要注意的有两点：1.as a whole: 考生自己写的时候基本写到life就结束了，并不会使用as a whole这样的后置定语。

事实上，这个表达方式是native speaker非常喜欢使用的。

从意义上来说，有没有as a whole差别不大，因为这个词组没有什么特别的意思，但是使用上之后却会给文字锦上添花。

2.从句部分用an individual做主语，所以后面指代使用的是his or her，单复数前后一致。

大部分考生在写作时，并不会注意到指代的单复数问题，全凭自己的感觉，经常出现主语单数指代复数或者主语复数指代单数的问题，烤鸭们在分析范文时应该仔细推敲，不放过每个词的意义，减少自己的语法错误。

关于Approach课程能力端cutting edge有感作为一名已经5年教龄的英语教师，其实我在入行之初就遇到过Pearson 的教材cutting edge老版。

我到现在还记得当时翻看此书的心情，很新奇，因为之前从来没有接触过全英文的国外教材；很震撼，因为所有的课堂步骤都事无巨细的罗列出来，还有很多课堂活动的建议和素材；很触动，我还记得前言里作者写的合格的教师应该是善于personalize而不是stereotype每个学生的inspirer。

也正是因为最后这一点，让当时初入这行的小白——我，对英语教师这个职业又多了一层与以往不同的理解。

也许正是因为这套教材无时无处体现的enlightening跟中国从小到大接受的应试教育的截然不同，让我对它产生了浓厚的兴趣。

当然，兴趣归兴趣，在实际备课和课堂中，我也碰到过不少麻烦，尤其是在备课之初。

首先，90%的全英文课堂教学cover,对自己和学生都是极大的挑战。

熟悉英语课堂指令常用语，学着paraphrase地去解释生词，而且还要根据学生的英文水平选择性的用词。

有时，只顾着自己讲，学生根本不能understand 或者catch up; 忍不住说了中文，学生就会愈来愈依赖，english cover少了就失去了课堂的意义。

还有重要的一点就是之前提到的personalization。

举个例子，讲解词汇的时候，会想方设法的通过图画，表演，配合英文的paraphrase让学生明白意思，然后还要通过role play之类的去巩固用法，加以练习。

这种备课往往会费时费力，有时还会脑波短路，尤其是在熬夜赶课时。

甚至吃力不讨好，比如课堂效果不如预期。

然而，这种备课方法同样也会刺激你脑洞大开，火花点点。

因此，cutting edge的教学真的是个既challenging又rewarding的过程。

它会时时提醒你“教学相长”的道理。

在我看来，中国学生学好英文应该解决好三个问题——兴趣，习惯和方法。

EducationFrom - Jimmy (Global Education)Technology kept people connected instantly, making the world seems smaller and communicates in one language“English”.While I am putting this essay together, many wonderful memories have been revived. Looking back at my old school days in SA and UK, I am filled with an immense sense of joy and gratitude to the style of British education.I always find myself asking,”How did I do it? What if I was in China?”I really would like to express my deepest gratitude to my parents for taking me abroad.Throughout the years, I am often asked,”How can I help the Chinese student to learn English language naturally and efficiently?”I would not have been able to predict what I could achieve inteaching English, but I would be the best that I could be for all my students.What I have heard is that Chinese education is more about authority, discipline and ruthless competition.Now class begins.Stand up.Good afternoon, Miss Chen.Good afternoon everyone.Sit down, please.Chinese teacher has high expectations on students to reach the goal of getting A or even A+ in almost every subject. In China, the teacher’s authority is absolute. But in Britain I always questioning teachers, challenging teachers in many ways.The Chinese school day is a 12 hour marathon. When it is the time for British school students to head home to their families, the Chineseschool students are having another afternoon meal before heading back to the classroom. After such a long day of lessons, students are expected to knuckle down to two hours of self-study and review what they have learned during the day. They spend most of their time and effort on study. Even if they are not at school, they are on their way to school, which means that they seldom have time for their hobbies. Their life is mostly school life.In Britain, PE is often a chance to relax and have some fun. But Chinese schools, things are a bit different. If you can not pass PE, you can not go to good high school or a good university. Now, PE is part of the national Zhongkao exam. That’s what we called ruthless competitions and Stephen Hawking wouldn’t do very well too.In Britain, what we do in PE is that we encourage students to just compete against themselves, do their best, but I think in China when you put students in a setting like a competition and they have got certain times to achieve, I think the pressure builds, they do start comparing themselves to others and that’s where the tears came from.In Chinese schools, the lessons are just teacher stand at the frontsaying”repeat this”which is OK, but it’s not really going to enthuse. Students are mostly just given notes which they are expected to copy and memorize. Just going to absorb all the information teacher gives us, walk away and get straight As. We don’t really learn by just copying off a board.In British schools, they take a more progressive view. Kids are separated into classes of different abilities. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions and discuss their work. So we can teach to their ability. We don’t tend to show them the practical methods, usually. Because for a scientist, it’s all about trying to find out the method yourself and even though we give them some instructions, they still get it wrong anyway, and that’s what science is all about, getting it wrong and then correcting it, and finding the way to do it.Einstein said that, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”。

雅思口语Part2 人物类解析对于很多烤鸭而言，雅思口语考试中的Part2 一直是重头戏也是最为头疼的一部分。

要求考生在一分钟的准备之后，进行两分钟的话题陈述。

时间是有限的，话题却是千变万化的。

这要求考生不仅要有足够的词伙积累，更要在短时间内快速地反应出可讲素材并且理清思路，娓娓道来。

下面我们就以一道经典的Part 2口语原题为例，来看看怎样快速写好Outline。

名人类话题---Describe a celebrity you likeWho he or she is;What the person is famous for;How do you know this person;Why you choose this person to talk aboutNotes: （跟上面题卡相对应写出Outline）Emma Watson/British actressLeading role of Harry Potter for 10 yearsWin awards and appear on the headlines and magazinesR: 1. Never give up study while shooting films2. Give speech in the UN for gender equality烤鸭们一定要善用一分钟准备时间写好提纲，这样表达才会连贯完整，逻辑清楚！加分词伙和表达：Acting skill 演技Exceptionally talented 特别有天分（这里的程度副词exceptionally用得很好）The reason I really admire xxx is ... 我喜欢xxx的原因是。

（连接句型）It’s inspiring to ... 做。

很受启发Advocate for 为。

发声Decently 得体地Compelling 引人入胜的Make an outstanding model role for... 为。

雅思口语备考之套路南通环球雅思教学部周京随着雅思考试的功利性和时效性，近年雅思考试的整体趋势就如同“风水轮流转”，月月有新题，似乎挑战着各位烤鸭的心理极限。

但凡熟悉雅思考试的同学也不难发现这些林林总总的题目，却似乎有着打断骨头连着筋，藕断还丝连的关系，这点在雅思的口语考试题目设置中尤为鲜明。

由此一来，答题思路也不难掌握。

在这种英式思维主导下的雅思口语考试中，“细节决定成败”则体现的淋漓尽致，烤鸭在备考过程中更应注重本身的能力。

那么如果一定要剖析雅思口语学习的结构，在我看来，其准备要把握两个方向——套路+思路。

这次主要浅谈一下套路。

类似于写作，口语也有套路，主要针对开头结尾，把套路学会，至少可以保证说话的连续性，避免不必要的停顿。

建议水平较低的烤鸭多使用套路句以达到保分的效果，而水平较上的烤鸭则不应该被套路句所限制。

在此，提供三种可行的part2中的开头句.A.（话题背景）+ There are various (topic), namely, ..., ..., and stuff like that. But the one I'd particularly like to mention today is (your answer). （适用于后面话不多的话题）B. When talking about（话题）, it's worth pointing out (your answer). （后面有内容，开头可简洁）C. To tell you the truth I don't have much to say on (话题），but to the best of my knowledge, I'd like to talk about (your answer). （适用于自己不太熟知的话题）另外，讲到兴趣爱好类的好处则有通用原因可以借用，譬如Enrich one's knowledge/experienceExpand one's outlook/ broaden one's horizonCultivate one's mindMould one's temperamentKill one's leisure timeRelax oneself/let one's hair down/wind down/ take break from… Release/ relieve one's pressure/ stressRemove one's bad moodMeet one's desire to exploreClean one's mind, touch one's soul, lighten one's heart这些套路句必要时可避免学生千篇一律毫无新意的回答以及词穷的困境。

A Meaning Life - A book gives knowledge, but it is life that gives understanding-By Jimmy What is life all about? Is life all about survival? We never really know how long each of us has on this planet. But our job as a species is to persevere and eliminate anything which may threaten our survival.So what is the biggest threat you can think of? Pollution, disease and natural disasters or war on terror, war on crime, war on drugs and war on cancer, but when do we ever think about our basic life supporting needs? Resources & Happiness……we usually do not have to because luckily for us we have a system whereby the cost of living can be earned. You can gain employment and work for money which of course provides access to food, to water, to shelter. And it is a good thing we have this system, because without money you are as good as dead. But if you are without happiness or if you are depressed and frustrated, for whatever reason, money cannot simply change your feelings. So as I always say that money can only enrich your happiness but does not bring you happiness. Then what is happiness? When we do not understand something that is where fear comes from. We fear what we do not understand; we fight what we do not understand. Most people think money is the cure of suffering or unhappiness, but I think they just merely have a wishful thinking.Ok, I have a very concrete question for you. Which is more important to you…love, money or hope? It is not really a question more of a statement. Now I want to talk about hope. Education is the hope of our future and English education is most popular at the moment and it has been forever, it is increasing every year.That is the rate regardless of religion, color or nationality.English is the dominant business language; many of the world’s top films, books and music are published and produced in English; most of the content produced on the internet is in English. We are going to be obsolete and in fact we are very lucky that if we have been learning English this long, because weget to catch up the opportunity. Time is going away and we are getting old. Do not say: I will learn when I have leisure; you may never have it. If opportunity does not knock, build a door please. I would say that Global Education is my first and best choice to choose, because Global education understands that only the English lesson which is enjoyed can be learned well. So far as I know, all the learners have achievedvery good result from Global Education in Nantong. But on the other side of the coin, the best teacher is time; the best book is the world.At last, remember that a golden key opens all the gates! Motivation is an important factor when it comes to learning a language!。
