雅思聽力中的口語經(jīng)：詞匯篇

在備考雅思口語的過程中，所有考生大概都期望著可以練就原汁原味的地道口語，但是當你四處搜羅所謂參考答案，狂寫狂背一通，卻失望而歸的時候，有沒有意識到其實所謂原汁原味的地道口語就是我們在做雅思聽力真題時所聽到的原文?我們只顧埋頭做題，卻忽略了從我們手中如此好的“口語”資源中汲取營養(yǎng)。所以在本系列文章中，將從獲得雅思口語高分的四項評分標準(fluency & coherence，vocabulary，grammar和pronunciation)出發(fā)，緊密結(jié)合劍橋聽力真題各個section的原文，詳細分析其中可用于口語表達的語匯，句型，發(fā)音，話題思路及拓展方法等等，幫助烤鴨們一箭雙雕，在練習聽力的同時，全面立體地提高雅思口語成績。

很多烤鴨們都知道口語考試的評分標準中詞匯占了很重要的地位，但是對于考官如何具體考察詞匯卻不甚了解，很多考生一直片面地以為，考官看重的是詞匯量以及詞匯的難度。但在考官眼中，在以交流為本的基礎上，真正好的駕馭詞匯的能力包括：廣泛的詞匯范圍(the range of vocabulary)，多變的詞匯使用(the variety of vocabulary)以及地道的習慣表達(the idiomatic expressions)。這些對詞匯能力的要求都充分地展現(xiàn)在雅思聽力中，既是對聽力水平的考驗，又是對口語極好的學習模仿素材。在本文中，朗閣海外考試研究中心的老師們將結(jié)合雅思口語真題，詳細分析如何充分利用劍橋聽力真題提高口語詞匯的能力。

廣泛的詞匯范圍(the range of vocabulary)

那么這個范圍指的是什么呢?根據(jù)雅思口語考試的安排，話題難度是隨著考試逐步加深的，所以，考生掌握的詞匯范圍應足以應付從比較簡單的日常口語話題(part1&part2)到較為復雜的深入討論話題(part3)，現(xiàn)在我們就通過一些例題來看看你做過的聽力真題當中有哪些可以助我們一臂之力吧。

Part 1 常見topic：sports

口語真題：Do you like (to play/to do) any sports? (What sport?)

題目分析：這道題需要的是一些必備的表示運動種類的詞匯，覺得自己的能脫口而出的這方面的口語詞匯量比較小，拿不出手么?那么我們就來搜索一下實用的聽力真題吧：

搜索結(jié)果：劍6 test 1 section 1

錄音原文：Do you have tennis courts … We’re primarily a golf club … what about football? ... I’ve played badminton there … we do have a keep-fit studio … as well as that we have swimming, of course … do you have judo classes? I’m keen to learn…well, at the moment we offer kick-boxing. We’re planning to add judo and stretch classes soon. We’re currently running a range of yoga classes, too.

使用指導：大家聽題時會發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這段聽力原文中，雖然其中的運動種類的詞匯有許多是“陷阱”和干擾項，但是卻都是回答運動類問題很實用的口語詞匯，不妨通過恰當?shù)乃悸罚脕沓鋵嵰幌聀art 1的答案，主動地向考官展示一下“the range of vocabulary”，以獲得詞匯的高分。

現(xiàn)學現(xiàn)用：well, I’d say that I’m keen on quite a range of sports. I usually go to the gym to do some exercises in a keep-fit studio or go swimming of course, recently I’ve tried judo and kick-boxing, which are really exciting, but yoga is always my favorite, especially after long period of work. If the weather is fine, I’d also like to spend my time at the tennis court or golf club…

Part 2常見topic：Library

口語真題：

Describe a library that you have used.

You should say:

where it was

what type of library it was

what books and facilities it had

explain how useful it was for your studies or research.

題目分析：這是近期一直很熱門的卡片，在這道題中很多同學比較頭疼的就是“what books and facilities it had”，本來中國的學生們就不像外國學生那么頻繁地使用圖書館，所以對相關(guān)的詞匯就更加陌生，不知從何談起了。接下來朗閣海外考試研究中心就向考生推薦一下有哪些合適的聽力真題能幫上忙吧。

搜索結(jié)果：劍橋5 test 2 section 1

錄音原文：good morning，North College Library…But you’ll find they don’t have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That’s why you have to pay to be an external member…we allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you’re a students, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos…the earliest you can book a computer is 48 hours before you need it…we have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand…I’m thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers…we’ve got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times. We’ve also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines…I assume you have photocopying facilities?...another thing I was wondering about was if you run any writing classes through the library?...

使用指導：在這道聽力題的原文中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)有各種表示”books and facilities” 的詞匯，包括各種多媒體資料，而且還有世界著名報刊的名稱，聽起來就更加具體并且具有說服力，一定會給考官留下詞匯范圍廣泛的深刻印象

現(xiàn)學現(xiàn)用：Last year，when I entered university，I became an external members of the Beijing College Library，which was quite helpful for my studies. It was not very far from my house，right at the campus of Beijing University，so it was very convenient for me to get there. Although I had to pay to be an external member, it was really worthwhile, I have to say. That was because they had the range of reference books and facilities which I couldn’t find at other libraries. Like for instance, I was allowed to borrow twelve items at any one time and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos, I could also book a computer, you know they had a wide range of databases, which was especially useful for my writing, because I was able to access all the big nationals, like,The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times, as well as all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines. Besides, photocopying facilities were available there too. Most importantly, they also run writing classes through the library, which was absolutely my favorite part. Yeah, I’d say that this Library is the most useful one I’ve ever used for my studies…

Part 3常見topic：Film

口語真題：How have films changed in the past few decades?

題目分析：這是一道典型的part3對比類題目，考官需要考生談論一下過去和現(xiàn)在電影的變化，對于以前的老電影的狀況大多數(shù)考生們都不知該從何處下手進行描述，那么我們就來搜索一下相關(guān)的聽力真題吧。

搜索結(jié)果：劍6 Test2 section 4

錄音原文：…in 1926 when sound effects were first used on a film…and it wasn’t until 1928 that the first all – talking film was produced…unfortunately, the sound on this early film was not very good and I believe they put subtitles on the film—that is, they printed the dialogue along the bottom of the film to compensate for this poor sound quality…

使用指導：這個section4的后半部分談論了電影早期發(fā)展的相關(guān)內(nèi)容，恰巧符合關(guān)于電影發(fā)展變化的口語話題，雖然section 4的內(nèi)容大多都有較強的學術(shù)性，但適當使用在part 3當中還是符合考試要求的。

現(xiàn)學現(xiàn)用：well，in the past，sound effects were not used on films，you know，the silent films.

Even when the all—talking film was produced，the sound was so bad that they had to put subtitles on the film in order to compensate for this poor sound quality，which made the audience not able to enjoy the movies very well. But today，things are quite different，you know，with the amazing sound effects，watching movies are getting much more exciting than before…
