雅思听力增强语句表现力的五大技巧 一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词。 1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如: Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语) Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语) 2、将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如: 1) Weak: The team members are good players. Revision: The team members play well. 2) Weak: One worker's plan is the elimination of tardiness. Revision: One worker's plan eliminates tardiness. 3、在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如: 1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion. Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists. 2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered. Revision: The books you ordered have arrived. 二、多用语意具体的动词,保持句意简洁明了。例如: 1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk. Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk. 2、Poor: She is a careful shopper. Better: She compares prices and quality. 三、尽量运用主动语态。例如: 1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity. Better: Charity has supported the organization. 2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate. Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate. 四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语。例如: 1、Wordy: My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk. Improved: My little sister prefers chocolate milk. 2、Wordy: We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your recommendations. Improved: We have received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation. 3、Redundant: We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire. Improved: We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire. 4、Redundant: My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in different stores. Improved: My sister and I bought the same dress in different stores. 五、杜绝滥用陈旧词语或难懂的专业术语。例如: 1、Weak: They will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form. Improved: They will not agree to any of his proposals. 2、Weak: I need her financial input before I can guesstimate our expenditures next fall. Improved: I need her financial figures before I can estimate our expenditures next fall. 雅思听力增强语句表现力的五大技巧的延伸阅读——雅思口语如何把握住临场发挥 凡事尽量说好的一面 在回答问题时应表现正面的态度。考生通常都应该诚实地回答所有问题,但有一些问题,回答的时候还是应该保持比较正面,尽量说好的一面。 避免深奥答案 千万不要刻意用一些深奥或复杂的字来解释事情。不要以为这样可以加深考官的印象,一个简洁明了的答案绝对比一个复杂难懂的答案好。但要指出的是,简单的答案并不等于短答案,答案太短会使整个面试有太多的停顿,而考官也要大伤脑筋多想问题,你面临的问题也就会更多。 避免个人演讲 首先,你尽可能地多说,让考官少说,但也不要走上极端,把两个人的交谈变成一个人的演讲,要注意分寸。我们每一个考生不应期望着考官会问到我们已经准备好的问题,但是如果幸运地遇到,千万不要地把自己准备好的答案滔滔不绝地背诵出来,给人一种明显背书的感觉。这是一种最危险的做法,当他知道你在背诵事先准备好的答案,他会打断你而改变另一个话题。而你则可能会失去这个好机会而陷入困境。另外,在交谈过程中,考生也会被问到自己不熟悉的话题。有些考生过于紧张,会出现冷场现象,这时千万不要沉默,没反应,或苦思冥想。这样不仅没有解决问题,反而给考官留下一种不会表达自己的印象。考生应尽量控制谈话、试着改变题目;对比较难回答的问题,尽量偏离它。 学会正确运用雅思口语机经 雅思口语采用人人对话方式,话题比较生活化,没有标准答案,在网络上有较全面的“机经”。它不同于听力和阅读机经的客观性,口语机经是主观性。雅思考试一定要以实力为主,技巧培训为次,雅思机经为辅。切不要完全过分依赖听力机经。机经毕竟脱离的我们的终极目的——英语使用能力的提高,是一个耗时耗力的东西,只在短期内可以帮你提高一点成绩. |
