在平時(shí)的課堂練習(xí)中經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)好多學(xué)員的口語答案聽起來支離破碎，究其原因，往往是因?yàn)閷?duì)問題沒有足夠的想法而無話可講；有的甚至為了追求詞匯語法100%準(zhǔn)確，而在回答過程中頻繁重復(fù)，長時(shí)間停頓；要么就是思路天馬行空，想到哪說到哪…總之完全失去了流利度和連貫性——這其實(shí)是一種本末倒置，得不償失的做法，因?yàn)榱骼扰c連貫性（fluency & coherence）是雅思口語最為重要的一項(xiàng)評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，也就是說考官最看重考生的一項(xiàng)能力就是——是否可以在回答各部分問題時(shí)，基本保持流暢并且邏輯清晰。在本文中老師將詳細(xì)探討一下如何巧妙利用劍橋聽力中的原文，來提高我們口語的流利度與連貫性。

其實(shí)，在口語表達(dá)中體現(xiàn)出連貫性并不復(fù)雜，往往就是通過合理地使用連接成分（discourse markers），使得我們的答案聽起來更加有邏輯性。但是因?yàn)橹杏⑽恼Z言表達(dá)上的差異，很多烤鴨們?cè)谙乱庾R(shí)地做“中翻英”時(shí)，就忽略了連接成分的使用，結(jié)果，雖然語法沒有問題，但回答聽起來就像是用生硬的中文拼湊起來的。那么，接下來我們就向地道的劍橋聽力原文來取取經(jīng)，看看如何表達(dá)才能更加連貫。

Oh, good morning. Um, I’m flying to Toronto Airport next week, and I need to get to a town called um, Milton.? Could you tell me how I can get there.

Milton, did you say? Let me see, I think that’s about 150 miles southwest of there. In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least –say, thee to four hours by road.

Right. Well, I don’t really want to drive myself, so I’d like more information about public transport.

Ok. In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab and of course

there are always plenty available.? But it’ll cost you. You can also take a

Greyhound bus or there’s an Airport Shuttle Service to Milton. Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad, especially if it’ll take me to the hotel.

But you need to reserve a seat.

…..yes, just me, please.

Right. And you said your expected time of arrival was 11.30?? 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？
