參加雅思口語考試就像渡劫，怕考官提問的聽不懂，怕自己太緊張說不出來，怕穿著不得體影響印象分......
在考試前，很多烤鴨都在尋找攻略，期望自己的考試順順利利。
(資料圖片僅供參考)
今天，課代表給大家整理了關(guān)于雅思口語考試你不可不知的35個問題，涉及考官、評分、考場穿著、答題時間等考生關(guān)心的方方面面。
第一次參加考試的烤鴨尤其需要了解一下，提前做好準(zhǔn)備，避免踩中雷區(qū)。
#01
How is my performance assessed?
考官的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是什么？
Examiners will evaluate your performance according to 4 criteria namely fluency and coherence (FC), lexical resource (LR), grammatical range and accuracy (GRA) and pronunciation (P).
考官會通過4個方面進(jìn)行評分：流暢性及連貫性（FC）、詞匯量（LA）、語法運用范圍與其正確性（GRA）以及發(fā)音（P）。
#02
What is the most important criterion in the speaking test? Is it grammar?
口語測試中最重要的是語法嗎？
No. The 4 criteria are weighted equally at 25% each. The examiners will give a result for each criterion and then work out the average of the 4 scores which equates to an overall speaking score. If you get 6 for FC, 5 for LR, 5 for GRA and 6 for P, then you will receive 5.5 overall for speaking.
不是。 4個評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)同等重要，各占25%。口試官會針對這4個部分分別評分，然后計算出平均分?jǐn)?shù)；若你在FC拿到6分、LR和GRA都拿到5分、P拿到6分，那你會拿到總分5.5分。
#03
Will I lose points if the examiner disagrees with my opinion?
如果考官不認(rèn)同我的意見，我會被扣分嗎？
No. You are judged on your English, not your opinions. There is no right or wrong opinion.
不會。 口試的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是你的英文能力，而非意見，更無論對錯了。
#04
I am not an assertive person. Can I get high scores？
我不是個有主見的人，這樣也可以拿到高分嗎？
Yes. As long as you keep talking and use a wide range of English, you can get a high score as this is not an IQ test. Boring or obvious opinions are fine if you can produce a wide and accurate range of language when expressing them.
當(dāng)然可以。 只要你持續(xù)不斷地用正確的英文來表達(dá)自己的想法，即可得到高分，即使是乏味的意見也沒關(guān)系，因為這并不是智力測驗。
#05
I have a North American accent, is that OK?
我用美式發(fā)音，這樣可以嗎？
Yes. American English is not penalised in any part of the test whether it be pronunciation or spelling.
可以。美式發(fā)音或拼寫并不會影響評分。
#06
Can I ask the examiner my score?
我可以問口試官會給我?guī)追謫幔?/strong>
No. You will receive your IELTS result within 2 weeks but not on the day.
不行。IELTS的成績會在測試后2個星期后收到。
#07
What happens if I disagree with the result I was given?
如果我對口試成績有疑問怎么辦？
You may ask the IELTS test centre to arrange another IELTS examiner to reevaluate your speaking. This is possible as all interviews are recorded. You may incur an extra expense depending on whether your score changes or not.
口試的部分都有錄音，故可在成績出來后4周內(nèi)申請復(fù)議（需提前支付復(fù)議費用），要求考試中心重新評估口試的成績。若口試成績經(jīng)過復(fù)議后提高，則退回復(fù)議費；若經(jīng)過復(fù)議后成績不變或降低，則復(fù)議費不退回。
#08
Is it better to participate in speaking test in my own country than in other countries?
在自己的國家參加口試會比在其他國家好嗎？
In your home country is often thought to be the best place to do the speaking test. However, do keep in mind that all examiners receive exactly the same training around the world which is moderated by a central body. The only justification for why it may be better to do the test in your home country is that you may score higher in pronunciation as it is seen as more subjective; examiners in your home country will be used to the Chinese accent whereas those in England may not.
最好在自己的國家進(jìn)行考試。然而請記住，全世界所有的IELTS口試官接受的都是相同的訓(xùn)練。在自己國家較好的唯一理由， 就是在發(fā)音部分會較占優(yōu)勢，例如在中國的口試官會比較習(xí)慣考生有中國的口音。
#09
Is there anything I can do if I don"t understand a question?
假如我聽不懂口試官的問題，該怎么辦？
Yes. If you don"t understand you may ask the examiner to repeat the question at any time during the interview. However, if after repeating you still don"t understand, only in Part 3 may you ask the examiner to explain or rephrase a question. In Part 1 the examiner will simply move on to the next question.
假若你不明白問題，可以請口試官再敘述一次。但如果口試官重復(fù)后，你還是不理解，只有在Part 3時你才可以請口試官換個說法讓你明白問題；在口試的Part 1，口試官會略過該問題而直接進(jìn)行下一個提問。
#10
What happens if I misunderstand the question?
如果我誤會了問題的意思，結(jié)果會如何？
You may lose some points under fluency and coherenceas the examiner may have difficulty following your answer. In Part 3 the examiner may rephrase or explain the question again to give you a second opportunity. This will not happen in Part 1 though, the examiner will move on to the next question.
你可能會在流暢性及連貫性這部分被扣分。在Part 3，口試官有可能會再重述或解釋該題，給你第二次機(jī)會回答；但是在Part 1時，口試官會直接問你下一個問題。
#11
What should I do if I can"t think of the right vocabulary?
想不出合適的詞匯表達(dá)時該怎么辦？
Keep talking by paraphrasing (explaining the meaning of the word). It"s better to say something than nothing. If you simply pause and hope that somehow the word miraculously pops into your head, the examiner will be unable to assess you. In other words, long silences are penalised in each criterion as you are producing no vocabulary, grammar or pronunciation features and showing no fluency.
利用你會的詞句代替或解釋你想不出來的詞匯，這比什么都不說要好，口試官是不會讓你停頓下來思考你要的詞匯的；換句話說，沉默或間斷的回答在4個評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)下都無法得分。
#12
Can I make up an answer or lie?
考試中可以編造答案或說謊嗎？
Preferably not. Although there is no way of knowing if you are telling the truth or not, it"s OK to be honest and more importantly you will sound much more natural and fluent if you are. Just remember to use good English. If the examiner asks you if you like your hometown, you don"t need to pretend that you do if you don"t. It"s quite fine to say you hate it as long as you do so using appropriate English. Similarly if the examiner asks you if you have ever had a pet, but you never have, then say so and give a reason why you haven"t.
最好不要。因為真實的回答聽起來會比較自然且流暢，重點在于你是否能用好的英文來表達(dá)；舉例來說，當(dāng)口試官問你是否喜歡你的家鄉(xiāng)，或你是否養(yǎng)過寵物時，你可以回答不喜歡或是你沒養(yǎng)過寵物，只要說明原因即可。
#13
Can I ask the examiner questions?
我可以問口試官問題嗎？
Yes and No. You may ask the examiner to repeat or rephrase a question but do not ask him/her about their opinions. The test examines your English, not the examiner"s. You only have 11-14 minutes to show the examiner the full range of English you have learnt overthe past 5 years or so, so don"t waste your precious time listening to the examiner.
視情況而定。如果聽不清楚題目，你可以請口試官復(fù)述一次，但不能問口試官的想法。重點是“你才是考試的主角”。你只有11一14分鐘的時間來表現(xiàn)你的英文能力，讓口試官發(fā)表意見而浪費了你的寶貴時間并不是明智之舉。
#14
Is it OK to memorise my answers?
可以背答案嗎?
No. There is no way of knowing exactly what questions will be asked and therefore you may give inappropriate answers if you simply regurgitate memorised answers. Nevertheless, some common phrases that could be used in a variety of situations are definitely OK to memorise.
不可以。你不可能準(zhǔn)確地預(yù)測到口試的題目，而且考官對模式化的回答非常敏感。 但你還是可以熟記一些常用語，并且在考試當(dāng)中靈活運用。
#15
Should I be relaxed and easygoing or serious and formal?
考試時，我應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)得輕松自在還是正襟危坐?
Try to be relaxed. You don"t need to sound academic in the speaking interview. Just imagine that you are discussing the interview questions with your friend so that you sound more natural and fluent. Examiners are your friends!
試著讓自己放輕松。如果太緊張，可能會導(dǎo)致無法充分發(fā)揮原有的英文能力。把口試官想象成你的朋友，輕松自然地回答即可。
#16
Is it OK to give short answers to avoid making too many mistakes?
我可以簡答以避免犯太多的錯誤嗎？
No. Try to give full, extended, complete answers and sentences. You need to demonstrate as much English as possible in the time given.
建議不要。應(yīng)該在有限的時間里盡量完整并充分地回答問題，以展現(xiàn)你的英文能力。
#17
How much should I say?
我應(yīng)該講多久？
In Part 1 you have 4-5 minutes to answer at least 3 and up to 10 questions which works out to between 20 to 90 seconds per question but do not rely on slow speech to fill up this time. In Part 2 you must speak for I-2 minutes and it is advisable that you speak closer to 2 minutes than 1. The examiner is required to stop you if you speak for longer than 2 minutes for which you will not be penalised. In Part 3 you have 4-5 minutes to answer between 2-6 questions which works out to between 40 to 150 seconds per answer. Try to find a happy medium between these time frames so that you can answer a range of questions as this will produce a wider range of language.
在Part 1，花4~5分鐘的時間回答3~10個題目，每個題目大概花20~90秒完成，不要試圖通過放慢說話速度來拉長時間；
在Part 2，你需要花1~2分鐘的時間發(fā)表意見，如果你的回答超過時限，口試官會喊停，但你不會因此被扣分;
在Part 3，口試官會問2~6個題目，你有4~5分鐘的時間，每個題目需要40~150秒的時間回答。
記住：要視當(dāng)下的狀況而定，好好掌握能充分展現(xiàn)你英文能力的時間。
#18
Do I need to speak really quickly?
我需要講得很快嗎？
No. Just speak at a steady, constant speed which can balance your fluency and accuracy.
不需要。用一般的速度、有條不紊地回答即可，記住以表達(dá)清楚為主。
#19
Will I be recorded?
口試過程會錄音嗎？
Yes. For quality control and reassessment purposes all interviews are recorded.
會。為了評分的準(zhǔn)確與公正性，以及日后復(fù)議等因素，口試會全程錄音。
#20
Do all examiners have a British accent?
所有的口試官都是英式口音嗎？
No. Examiners come from a variety of backgrounds andtherefore accents may vary. You may even have a Chinese examiner if they themselves have scored an IELTS 9 on the test.
不是。 口試官來自不同的國家，有各自不同的口音。你也可能遇到口試成績滿分的中國考官。
#21
How many examiners will listen to me?
應(yīng)考時，會有幾位口試官？
One during the interview but another examiner may listen to your recording for reassessing or monitoring.
雅思口語考試只會面對1位口試官。
#22
Can I choose which examiner I want?
我可以選擇口試官嗎？
No. Examiners will be arranged for candidates in arandom order. If you know the examiner in any way, he/she may not assess you under any circumstances.
不可以。 口試官是主辦單位隨機(jī)分派的，如果你認(rèn)識口試官，他/她是不能為你進(jìn)行口試的。
#23
Are some examiners stricter than others?
有些口試官特別嚴(yán)格嗎？
No. All examiners have received the same training so all results are standardised. While some may look stricter, their scoring won"t be.
不會。 所有的口試官都接受一樣的訓(xùn)練，所以他們的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是一致的；雖然有的口試官看起來較嚴(yán)肅，但評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)并不會因此較嚴(yán)格。
#24
Is the interview the same for both the GeneralTraining Module and Academic Module?
培訓(xùn)類的口試與學(xué)術(shù)類的口試是相同的嗎？
Yes. There is no difference between the 2 modules in thespeaking section. It is exactly the same.
是的，完全相同。
#25
When will be the speaking test？
口試的時間是什么時候？
雅思口語考試可能安排在筆試前一周至筆試后一周的任意一天。
成功報名雅思考試后，在該場考試報名截止日期前兩天，考生可登錄教育部考試中心雅思考試報名網(wǎng)站，根據(jù)自身需求選擇已開放的雅思口語考試日期以及上/下午時間段。
如果在兩天的預(yù)訂時段中，考生放棄預(yù)訂、取消已有的預(yù)訂或可預(yù)訂的口語考試日期已滿，系統(tǒng)將做出隨機(jī)安排。
為公平起見，考生只有一次在線預(yù)訂口語考試的機(jī)會，在預(yù)訂提交后則無法更改；如果考生在預(yù)訂了口語日期后又選擇了轉(zhuǎn)考或退考服務(wù)，預(yù)訂的口試日期將自動失效。
考生最終的口試安排將以準(zhǔn)考證為準(zhǔn)，并不能按照考生的要求進(jìn)行更改。
#26
Is the TOEFL speaking the same as the IELTS speaking?
托福的口試和雅思的一樣嗎？
No. The speaking section of TOEFL is an integrated skills test in which they combine your listening, reading and speaking skills. There is no live interview with an examiner in the TOEFL.
不一樣。TOEFL口試考查考生聽、讀、說的綜合技能，而且是以機(jī)考來進(jìn)行口試，并沒有口試官。
#27
Which section of IELTS speaking is the most difficult?
口試的哪個部分最難？
Part 3 is the most difficult section of the speaking as examiners will ask you questions on unfamiliar, more academic topics.
Part 3部分相對較難，口試官會問一些對你而言較陌生或較學(xué)術(shù)的問題。
#28
What do I need to bring into the interview room with me?
口試時，需要帶些什么東西嗎？
Your ID card and test centre ID for the examiner to check and a positive attitude.
與報名時一致，且真實有效的身份證和準(zhǔn)考證。
#29
What should I wear?
考試當(dāng)天我應(yīng)該穿什么？
It"s neither a fashion show nor a board meeting with the directors. Just wear something you feel comfortable in (smart casual) as you only want to be concerned with your English not your clothes.
你只需要穿上你覺得最舒服的衣服( 看起來較正式的休閑服)。你要花心思的是你的英語水平，而非穿著。
#30
Is it possible to prepare for the speaking test?
口試部分可能事先準(zhǔn)備嗎？
Yes. The more you learn about and understand the test, the more confident and less nervous you will feel.
可以。 口語考試每個季度題庫中的話題都應(yīng)該了解掌握，越熟悉每個話題，你就會越覺得有信心，同時可以減輕壓力。
#31
Are there any shortcuts to getting a high score?
有任何捷徑可以幫助我拿到高分嗎？
Unfortunately not. How quickly you improve all depends on how much time and effort you can afford to allocate to preparing for the test.
很遺憾，沒有。多快可以有進(jìn)步，完全 取決于你花了多少時間與心思準(zhǔn)備這個考試。
#32
How quickly can I expect to improve 1 band?
進(jìn)步1分需要花多久的時間？
All linguistic theory books suggest it takes around 200 hours of learning and practice to improve I level. However this may be reduced for those students who may have been out of practice with English for some time and are just trying to regain their former glory. And some students have a natural gift for learning languages.
依照語言學(xué)習(xí)的理論來看，至少需要花費200個小時進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)才會進(jìn)步1分。但有些人只是過去一段時間疏于學(xué)習(xí)，而有些人具有語言天分，對他們來說，進(jìn)步1分所需的時間可能較短。
#33
Is it best to have a British examiner as a teacher?
如果找英國籍口試官當(dāng)指導(dǎo)老師會比較好嗎？
Your teacher doesn"t need to be an examiner nor British. They just need to have a thorough understanding of the IELTS and be qualified and experienced to teach you the skills and strategies of the IELTS.
你的口語老師不一定非要是口試官或英國人， 只要他們了解雅思口語的測試方式，并且具備指導(dǎo)雅思的專業(yè)能力與經(jīng)驗即可。
#34
How can I improve my speaking?
如何提高我的口試能力？
Practice, Practice, Practice. The more you practice, the more you will learn, which leads to higher confidence and lower nerves.
練習(xí)、練習(xí)、再練習(xí)！你練習(xí)得越多，就會越有自信。
#35
Should I find a speaking partner?
我需要找一個可以跟我練習(xí)對話的人嗎?
Yes. Otherwise how can you practice? It doesn"t need to be a foreigner nor do you need to get a foreign boyfriend/girlfriend. Your partner could be a fellow Chinese who is preparing for IELTS or just wants to improve his/her English also.
這是必要的。不過你不需要因此找外國人來作為你練習(xí)英語的對象，你的練習(xí)對象可以是正在準(zhǔn)備雅思考試的考生，或是想提高英文能力的人。
