雅思口语细节提分需要注意

俗话说“细节决定成败”，在雅思口语考场，有很多考生由于考生压力，过于紧张，忽视了一些细节问题，从而没有留给考官一个好的印象，影响到考试的成绩。

雅思口语考试中，细节描述是十分重要的。由于中西方文化的差异，中式思维与西式思维比较难找到共同点。我们在与考官交流时，很多语言和内容是考官理解不了的，即使我们使用的语言是正确的，词汇语法都符合要求，但表达出来的意思还是会让考官一头雾水。如何来解决这类问题呢？朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家告诉大家：解决这类问题的关键是用细节来博得考官的喜欢，让考官与你的谈话成为一种享受，让其在视觉、听觉等各方面感到愉快。中式思维注重宏观和抽象，而西式思维注重细节和形象。细节描述既可以避免我们中式思维中的空泛的内容令考官难以理解，又可以让我们的这次谈话成为一种有意思的讲故事。那么，细节都包含哪些内容呢？无论是第几个部分，细节都发挥着巨大的作用。下面我们就来看看你在平时准备雅思口语时是不是忽略了这些部分。

一、色彩斑斓的谈话

与一个人交谈，并不是一件任务，或是一种负担，而是一种享受。让听话人得到享受，首先是从色彩开始的。如果我们在回答“美丽的景色”、“美丽的房间”这样的内容时，只是用beautiful这个词来形容，那么考官就很想知道how beautiful？因为beautiful这个词所涵盖的内容太广泛了，让人听了没什么感觉。如果加上颜色，就生动了许多。比如我们这样回答：

The landscape is so beautiful. There are big trees with dark green leaves. The lake is clear blue like a diamond. The flowers are blossoming with pink, yellow, white and purple petals on the leaves. Some butterflies are dancing among them and they are busy collecting pollen.

I’d like my walls painted blue. I like that color. When I see the color, I will feel relaxed. My curtain is pink with yellow patterns.

我们听了上面的颜色，就能够想象到景色和房间都是很美的，美就美在了这丰富的颜色上面。常用的颜色体现在：海的颜色，树木、花朵的颜色，衣服的颜色，装饰品的颜色等，建议大家在平时准备话题时，一定加入颜色，使自己的答案更吸引人。

二、名称加举例

各种名称或例子也是帮助我们提升雅思口语分数的重要元素。因为如果我们仅仅泛泛而谈，无法令人抓住重点，听话人总会觉得我们各个方面都只点了一句，但没有实实在在的内容给人留下印象。因此，尽可能多地提到名称或例子是增加细节、增加答案趣味性的好办法。我们来看下面的例子：

What kind of books do you like to read?

泛泛的答案：I like a lot of books. I like novels. They are interesting. I usually read novels in my leisure time. I can learn a lot of knowledge from books.

增加细节的答案：I like a lot of books. I like novels, especially romantic stories. I have read a famous book, ”Gone with the Wind”. It is really appealing. I like Scarlett, the character in the novel. She is beautiful and full of energy. I have read “Romeo and Juliet”, too. It’s moving. I can learn western culture and life from books. I can also learn about their living background, even their thoughts and beliefs.

划线的部分就是我们需要列举出来的细节，也就是一些例子，这些内容细化了我们的答案，让我们的思路更容易被考官明白。大家应该都有过这样的经历，我们在学法学或语言学时，生僻的理论总是很难理解，但是生动而具体的例子就会让我们明确含义，在这里，用细节增加内容的趣味性和通俗性是一样的道理。

再来看一个例子，

What kind of TV program do you like to watch?

泛泛的答案：I like watch educational TV programs. I can learn a lot of knowledge. I like “Animal World”. It reports a lot of animals’ living habits. It’s very interesting.

增加细节的答案：I like watch educational TV programs. I can learn a lot of knowledge. I like “Animal World”. It reports a lot of animals’ living habits. It’s very interesting. Some of the animals are cute, such as panda and koala. Some are ugly, like crocodile, toad. Their preying, mating and breeding behaviors have been recorded by the camera. It’s amazing.

有了大量的名称，我们就可以把自己想表达的用这些名称清楚地表达出来了。

三、给力的数据

像雅思写作一样，在口语中使用数据作为证据，也是很可取的。数据是最有说服力的，它直观而有力量，把谈话带入一个高度上去，并且能为考生的口语增加逻辑性和准确性。这尤其适用于第三部分。比如说，

What are the benefits of tourism?

Well, it has a lot of benefits. Firstly, it can increase the local income so that it boosts the local economy. Some of the cities were poor before the development of tourism. Take Yunnan for example, the GDP of the province has increased by 3% because of the tourism in 2010. Secondly, it helps to create more work opportunities. The employment rate has increased by 12% according to the local newspaper.

综上所述，我们可以明确的是，细节能够帮助我们提高分数，使我们在一众考生中脱颖而出，拿到理想的分数。细节是口语表达中值得推崇的，我们时刻把以上三项记在心里，在平时练习时不断提醒自己增加细节，这样能够使自己的答案更加吸引人。
