雅思口语复习时间的把握与精力的投放

　　自雅思考试设立以来，口试一直是使诸多考生觉得"难"以启齿的一项：一方面，雅思口试的话题范围都非常生活化。从简单的自身学习或工作介绍，到被认为是最难的科学发明、环保，都没有超出日常讨论的范围，也不包括任何专业性的内容，就这点来说，雅思口试和托福TSE或其它同类口试相比，要简单得多;但同时，雅思口语的涉猎面之广，却又使考生在复习时感觉非常棘手。下面是小编为您收集整理的雅思口语复习时间的把握与精力的投放，供大家参考!

　　雅思口语复习时间的把握与精力的投放

　　面对时间和精力的双重压力，唯有正确运用复习策略方能运筹于帷幄之中，决胜于千里之外;唯有将复习与应试技巧相结合方能在口试时应对如滔滔江水，连绵不绝。笔者分别就复习时间的把握和精力的投放上作一番探讨，望能助考生在复习的苦海上找到希望的灯塔，在绝望的边缘看到胜利的曙光。

　　一、复习时间的把握

　　考生在培训结束到考试的间歇阶段一般应控制在一到二个月左右。间隔短了可能复习不够充分，心理上容易产生紧张焦虑;间隔长了可能出现效率低下、惰性太大的现象，正如背单词强调的"一而作，再而衰，三而竭"的定律，口语复习也应趁热打铁，力求在短期内"直捣黄龙"，一举攻破话题重点，在考试之前保持清醒的头脑。

　　当然，除了整体把握时间之外，还应将复习时间量化，具体落实到每一天。每天考生都应辟出一定的时间进行口头操练，在小时数上应秉持"贪多嚼不烂"的原则，根据个人承受能力选择时间，建议在一到两小时左右。因为口试和其他项目不同，是考生和考官的互动过程，因此在自我演练的时候应该克服自身惰性，按照考试流程做课件和教材上的练习。考生可根据课件和教材上面的参考答案来评判自身尚存的差距。在答案的评判上应该注意"踩点"原则，将话题的重点作为回答的第一标准，因为这些都将是考试的得分点。

　　下面我以实例讲述复习时间的拿捏方法。口语话题按照大类可以分为基本情况介绍(如考生的学习和工作、家乡、城市、建筑、爱好、人物、节假日、派对、科技、发明等)，而精分一下则可以扩展至大约二十几个。因此如果把复习时间定为一个月三十天，把话题一共cover两遍的话，那么基本上一天复习两个话题足矣。每个话题花一小时左右复习，一天用两小时练口语。

　　至于针对每个话题的具体操作方法，笔者以"学习"这个话题来具体描述。考生首先应该明确每部分的涉猎范围、出题模式，同时也应按照该话题在三部分的顺序由浅至深地依次回答，答题时可以先自己口头做一遍，再看参考答案和得分点，看到自己离高分答案的尚存差距，有则改之，无则加勉。如果每个话题都能照此方法复习，那么必能熟练掌握口试流程并对每个话题做到在理解上驾轻就熟。

　　比如涉猎范围和出题模式，在关于"学习"的三部分考题中，第一部分是关于考生的就读专业、专业选择原因以及对课业的好恶等。而第二部分则是对学校的描述、课程的描述等。第三部分更进一步地谈论到社会层面的问题，如谈及教育问题，让你给出建议等。

　　至于参考答案和得分点，比如看到选择专业的原因，一般参考答案会提及自己对此比较感兴趣，如I enjoy every minute of it，或者说It suits me。虽然理论上讲口语不应该有什么参考答案，但是对基础相对比较薄弱的考生而言，这绝对是能一招制胜且不露痕迹的"葵花宝典"。在短时期能使考生对口试的大致范围做到胸有成竹。

　　雅思口语新话题——An Organizsation

　　Describe an organization (such as a company, a factory, a government organization or a student organization at school).

　　You should say:

　　where this organization is

　　how you know about this organization

　　what this organization does

　　and explain how you feel about it.

　　这个题目是近期出的新题，看上去很吓人，其实也不难，学生的话可以讲讲学校的团体，工作的话就讲讲某个单位，比如说我就可以讲新东方喽。或者讲讲一些慈善机构、基金会、志愿者团体等。范文中讲的是学校的青年志愿者联盟。

　　I joined the Youth Volunteer Association (YVA) of my university when I was a junior. I have benefited a lot from that experience.

　　There are many student organizations in my university. At the beginning of every new semester, there is a big day for all those clubs and associations to recruit. I joined the YVA because I wanted to help others. To my understanding, just like what I said at the recruitment interview, being a volunteer means to take out my personal time to do something for others.

　　My first volunteering experience was to give English lessons to residents from a neighourhood. Due to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more people are willing to learn some basic English. I major in English, so I think maybe I could help these people with my expertise. We did it every weekend and kept doing it for almost three months. I not only gave lessons to people, more importantly, I communicated with them. Many of them are older than me. They come from all walks of life. They brought to class different life stories. I exchanged my school experiences with their social experiences. Sharing with them has added to my insight into the world I am living in, which was a good thing for someone like me who did not have much access to the real world outside school campus.

　　My association offers the young good chance to be helpful, to get to know more people, to learn something that's not written on the text book.

　　Part 3

　　Working in an Organization

　　What would you prefer to work in, a big organization or a small one?

　　If I were a graduate freshly out of school, I would prefer to work in a big organization. Big organizations have advantages that small organizations don't. As a new graduate, I cherish very much the future development opportunity that big organizations could offer. If I worked for many years, I would prefer to work in small organizations. They are less strict with the employees. They give me more space to turn my ideas into reality.

　　What are the benefits of working in a small organization?

　　It's more flexible in terms of rules and limitations. People can create their own organization culture. With fewer people working for it, every one is important, every one's voice can be heard. Besides, it's easier for a small group of people to reach on an agreement on some issues. It cuts down the time organizations spend on decision making, which is a very good thing in today's time-racing world.

　　What are the benefits of working for a big organization?

　　Working for a big organization makes me feel proud. I feel safer-I mean they cannot fire me any time they want to without giving a sound reason, unless I do something terribly wrong and cause great loss. It's true that big organizations have countless rules and regulations. They seem quite a burden some time. But if I work hard and successfully finish every piece of task given by my boss, I will be approved and get what I deserve. Rules and regulations not only punish people, but also push us to work harder.

　　Industries

　　What kind of work do people do in your hometown?

　　People do all kinds of work in my hometown. Teachers, businessmen, company employees, factory workers, doctor...the list is endless, as the economy develops all the time and every day there is new job opportunity. Economy development has cultivated many new jobs, such as hourly-paid workers, baby sitters for babies and for the old, private finance adviser etc.

　　What service industries are there in your hometown?

　　Our city is a famous tourist destination. We benefit a lot from tourism. With the development of tourism, hotel and restaurant business grows rapidly. Entertainment has also become an industry in recent few years. Traditional art forms have been replaced by modern art shows. Public transportation is another major service industry. The local government encourages its citizens to take public transport rather than driving private cars to work and school.

　　What is the government doing to protect the environment (from industrial pollution produced by these factories)?

　　The local government works a lot on developing public transportation. They produce more comfortable buses. They cut down bus ticket price in order to attract more commuters. This policy has greatly decreased the number of private cars running on the road. Therefore, air pollution is kept under control. At the same time, the government has made and carried out new policies to stop people spitting on the street or smoking in public places. I am totally for these policies.
