根據(jù)統(tǒng)計,絕大多數(shù)的中國考生在口語考試的“grammar”一項上得分徘徊在4-5分左右??梢姛o論最后總分如何,大部分烤鴨們都因為在口語考試前疏于“口語語法”的練習,而在考試中吃了大虧。究其原因,雖然大多數(shù)的烤鴨們所了解的語法知識還是很豐富的,這可能是歸功于從小到大在學校里大考小考的磨練,可是恐怕所有烤鴨們上了口語考場才意識到,“了解”與“使用”是完完全全兩碼事。而且,4-5分的成績意味著,中國烤鴨們的口語語法是高不成低不就的——簡單的錯誤沒少犯,高級的語法又沒展示。而在口語考試的評分標準中,明確表示語法的考查范圍包括:簡單錯誤頻率(the frequency of minor errors),復雜句的使用(usage of Complex Sentences)和高級語法使用(usage of Higher Level Grammar)。如果大家回憶一下做過的聽力真題,一定就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這些從簡單到高級的語法現(xiàn)象是無處不在的。那么接下來,專家就帶領烤鴨們一起向雅思聽力取取經(jīng),看看如何從這些方面提高口語的語法能力。

Then the box office has been reoriented, with its own access from the side of the building instead of through the foyer, which means it can be open longer hours and has more space, too…The shop that used to be in the foyer, which sold books and CDs, is the one part of the redevelopment which isn’t yet complete. ….we already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many, which we hope will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts.? The two we used to have were very small and slow…

我們選取了劍橋6 Test 1的一整套題目來分析,可以看到在任何一個section,定語從句出現(xiàn)的頻率是很密集的,可見無論是日常生活口語還是學術場景下的口語,只要涉及到對人物,事物以及地點的描述,都離不了定語從句進行必要的修飾和說明,

如:

1. This is one of the most interesting films I have ever seen.

2. He always gives others the impression of being someone who is really optimistic and confidential.

3. Beijing is a place where you can appreciate both the ancient culture and modern city lifestyle.

4. Spring festival is the time when all the family members get together.

這恐怕也是定語從句成為首選的六分必備句型的主要原因。所以建議烤鴨們在籌備各個part的口語答案時,都應該主動地使用這種句型來爭取加分。

劍7-1-1——

Oh,that doesn’t sound too bad, especially if it will take me straight to the hotel… so if I book your shuttle for after 12.00 — let’s say,12.30:that should give you plenty of time to,you know,collect your baggage,maybe grab a coffee?

It’s a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better, because there’s one every two hours …. yeah, that’s 35 dollars one way, 65 dollars return, so I guess it’s a bit more expensive than the Greyhound.

劍7-1-2——

We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured.? If you book a camping holiday with us,you’ll have a choice of over three hundred sites….if you haven’t organised an annual insurance policy of your own you’ll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you make your holiday reservation….if you don’t want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available….all tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box….

劍7-1-3——

Instead, people making these decisions often use a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver, or will do as they’re told….for example, change in the workplace can be quite tricky, especially if there’s a need to increase profit.

劍7-1-4——

Well, that’s about all I want to say before today’s first discussion, but if you have any questions please ask them now…

這是我們選取的劍七當中的兩套題,可以看到在每一個section當中都可以很輕松地發(fā)現(xiàn)“if”引導的條件狀語從句,以及比較狀語從句,說明它們在口語表達當中的實用性。而其中在利用“if”引導的條件狀語從句來回答雅思口語問題時,可以很容易從不同的角度來分解問題,以獲得內(nèi)容比較新穎的答案。

比如:well,I’m more into small shops if I would like to buy things that are special, you know, something like shoes,or accessories. But if I need to buy foods or electrical equipments, then it’s more likely that I would go to a department store , which is more reliable…

其實我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),各種狀語從句如“when”,“because”,“although”等使用起來都很簡單,而且可以表現(xiàn)出很強的邏輯性,只要大家注意使用,它們就可以輕松為我們拿到六分奠定基礎。
