speaking score!

說話得分!

But first, I just mentioned “the four parts of your IELTS speaking score.”

但首先，我剛才提到了 "雅思口語成績的四個部分"。

Do you know what those are?

你知道那些是什麼嗎？

Your final IELTS speaking score is actually an average of four different scores.

你最終的雅思口語成績其實是四種不同分數的平均值。

First is fluency and coherence.

首先是流暢性和連貫性。

This means whether you can speak without pausing or hesitating, and whether you can answer

這意味著你是否能在說話時不停頓、不猶豫，以及是否能回答

questions fully and directly.

問題充分而直接。

Next is lexical resource.

其次是詞彙資源。

This basically means 'vocabulary'.

這基本上是指'詞彙量'。

This score focuses on your ability to use a wide range of vocabulary accurately.

這個分值主要考察你準確使用各種詞彙的能力。

Third is grammatical range and accuracy.

三是文法範圍和準確性。

To get a high score here, you need to use a wide range of grammar structures without

要想在這裡得到高分，你需要使用廣泛的語法結構，而不是

making mistakes.

犯錯。

Finally, you get a score for pronunciation.

最後，你會得到一個發音的分數。

This depends both on how clear your pronunciation is, and whether you use features of native

這既要看你的發音是否清晰，也要看你是否使用了母語的特點。

speech, like natural intonation.

語音，如自然語調。

We'll look at these four scores in more detail during this class.

我們在這節課上會詳細研究這四個成績。

If you want to read the scoring system, you can, and you should!

如果你想看評分系統，你可以，也應該看!

There's a link underneath the video.

視頻下面有一個鏈接。

Let's start with your fluency and coherence score, and what you can do to improve it.

讓我們從你的流暢性和連貫性分數開始，以及你可以做什麼來提高它。

To get band seven in your fluency and coherence score, you need to speak without hesitating

要想在流暢性和連貫性方面獲得第七段的分數，你需要毫不猶豫地說話。

much, stay on topic, and use linking words well.

多，緊扣主題，善用鏈接詞。

It's okay to hesitate occasionally, for example because you need one or two seconds

偶爾猶豫一下也沒關係，比如說因為你需要一兩秒鐘的時間。

to remember a word.

來記住一個字。

However, if you hesitate often, then getting band seven is difficult.

然而，如果你經常猶豫不決，那麼得到帶七就很難了。

'Linking words' here includes very simple connectors, like and, but or for example.

這裡的'連接詞'包括很簡單的連接詞，比如and，but或者for example。

You don't need to use formal or academic language in your IELTS speaking test.

在雅思口語考試中，你不需要使用正式或學術性的語言。

In fact, it could even hurt your score.

事實上，它甚至會影響你的分數。

So, what should you do?

那麼，你應該怎麼做呢？

First, identify your biggest weaknesses.

首先，找出自己最大的弱點。

Here are some common problems which could stop you getting band seven:

以下是一些常見的問題，可能會阻止你獲得帶七。

You pause and hesitate a lot when you speak You give short answers.

你說話的時候會停頓和猶豫，你的回答很簡短。

You go off-topic.

你跑題了。

You speak in short, simple sentences, without using linking words.

你說話的句子很短，很簡單，不使用連接詞。

What do you think; what's your number one problem?

你怎麼看；你的首要問題是什麼？

It's important to choose one.

選擇一個很重要。

To improve, it's better to focus on one thing at a time.

要想提高，還是集中精力做一件事吧。

Got an idea?

有想法嗎？

So, here's what you do.

所以，這就是你要做的。

Choose a common IELTS speaking topic.

選擇一個常見的雅思口語話題。

Choose one topic and record yourself talking about it for one minute.

選擇一個話題，錄下自己談論的一分鐘。

Listen to the recording.

聽聽這段錄音。

Next, check for problems.

其次，檢查問題。

For example, if you said your biggest weakness is hesitating and pausing, then listen to

例如，如果你說你最大的弱點是猶豫和停頓，那就聽一聽

your recording and count the number of times you pause.

你的錄音，並計算你暫停的次數。

Count every time you stop, every time you say 'um', 'er' or something like that.

每次你停下來，每次你說 "嗯"，"呃 "或類似的東西時，都要數。

Then, repeat the task, and try to improve.

然後，重複任務，努力提高。

For example, if you're working on hesitations and pauses, then try to get fewer hesitations

例如，如果你正在研究猶豫和停頓，那麼就儘量減少猶豫的次數

and pauses the second time.

並停頓第二次。

If you're working on giving longer answers, then try to get closer to one minute.

如果你正在努力給出較長的答案，那麼儘量接近一分鐘。

After you improve your answer, set yourself a new challenge.

在你提高了自己的答案之後，給自己設定一個新的挑戰。

For example, you can choose a different topic, or you can try to talk for longer.

例如，你可以選擇不同的話題，或者你可以嘗試更長的時間來說話。

Try to talk for two minutes without hesitating, or three.

儘量說話兩分鐘，不要猶豫，或者三分鐘。

You might need some help here.

你可能需要一些幫助

For example, students who go off topic generally don't realise they're going off topic;

比如，走題的學生一般不會意識到自己走題了。

that's part of the problem.

這就是問題的一部分。

In this case, you might need feedback from a friend or a teacher.

在這種情況下，你可能需要朋友或老師的反饋。

Use of linking words is more difficult to practice by yourself, but here's a simple

鏈接詞的使用自己練習起來比較困難，但這裡有一個簡單的

exercise you can do: write down a list of simple linking words, like this:

你可以做的練習：寫下一個簡單的鏈接詞列表，比如這樣。

Do the same activity: choose a topic and speak for one minute.

做同樣的活動：選擇一個話題，講一分鐘。

Try to use all of the linking words on your list.

儘量使用清單上所有的連接詞。

Listen to your recording, and cross off the linking words when you use them.

聽聽你的錄音，用的時候把連接詞劃掉。

If you don't use them all, try again.

如果你沒有全部用上，再試試。

If you can use them all, make the task more difficult: make your list longer, and try

如果你能全部使用它們，那就把任務變得更難：把你的清單拉長，並嘗試

to speak for more time.

要多說幾句。

Practice regularly with different topics, and your fluency should improve.

經常用不同的題目練習，你的流利程度應該會有所提高。

Next, what about your vocabulary score?

接下來，你的詞彙量成績如何？

To get band seven for your vocabulary score in your IELTS speaking test, you need to:

要想在雅思口語考試中拿到詞彙成績的第七段，你需要。

use vocabulary to talk about different topics, use some less common vocabulary, use collocations,

用詞彙來談論不同的話題，使用一些不太常用的詞彙，使用搭配。

use register appropriately, and use paraphrase.

適當使用註冊表，並使用釋義。

Let's see what these things mean!

讓我們看看這些東西是什麼意思!

'Collocations' are word combinations.

'搭配'是詞語組合。

For example, think about the word complex.

比如，想想複雜這個詞。

What things can be complex?

哪些事情會很複雜？

You could have a complex situation, a complex question, a complex personality, or a complex

你可能有複雜的情況，複雜的問題，複雜的性格，或者複雜的。

idea.

觀念。

There are others, but that's not the point.

還有其他的，但這不是重點。

It's not enough to know a word, like complex, you also need to know how to combine the words

僅僅知道一個詞是不夠的，比如複雜，你還需要知道如何將這些詞組合起來。

you know.

你知道的

'Register' means whether the language you use is formal or informal.

'註冊'是指你使用的語言是正式的還是非正式的。

In the IELTS speaking test, the most common mistake is trying to speak much too formally.

在雅思口語考試中，最常見的錯誤就是想說得太正式。

If you use words in an unnatural way, it will hurt your score.

如果你用詞不自然，會影響你的分數。

Your goal is to communicate clearly and naturally, not formally.

你的目標是清晰自然地溝通，而不是形式上的。

Finally, 'paraphrase' means using a range of language to avoid repetition.

最後，"轉述 "是指使用一系列的語言，避免重複。

Let's look at an example.

我們來看一個例子。

The examiner asks: Tell me about your free time.

考官問道。告訴我你的空閒時間。

You say:

你說

In my free time, I enjoy reading books.

閒暇時間，我喜歡看書。

Whenever I have free time, I like to read different kinds of books, especially historical

一有空閒時間，我就喜歡看不同類型的書，尤其是歷史類的書。

fiction or fantasy.

虛構或幻想。

I usually have free time at the weekends, so I read books as much as I can.

我平時週末有空閒時間，就儘量多看書。

In many ways, this is a good answer.

從很多方面來說，這是一個很好的答案。

However, there's a problem; can you see it?

然而，有一個問題，你能看到嗎？

It's too repetitive.

太重複了。

The candidate uses the words free time and read books too much.

考生用空閒時間、看書太多等字眼。

Paraphrase means that you use different language to avoid this.

轉述的意思是，你用不同的語言來避免這種情況。

For example:

例如：

In my free time, I enjoy reading books.

閒暇時間，我喜歡看書。

Whenever I have some time to myself, I like to sit down with a good book, especially historical

每當我有時間的時候，我都喜歡坐下來讀一本好書，尤其是歷史書。

fiction or fantasy.

虛構或幻想。

I don't have to work at the weekends, which lets me read as much as I want.

我週末不用上班，這讓我想看多少就看多少。

This answer has the same ideas as the first answer you saw, but it uses a wider range

這個答案與你看到的第一個答案有相同的想法，但它使用的範圍更廣。

of language to avoid repetition.

的語言，避免重複。

So, now you know what you need to do to get band seven for vocabulary.

所以，現在你知道要想獲得詞彙的帶七，需要做什麼了吧。

But, how can you improve?

但是，如何改進呢？

First, focus on collocations.

第一，注重搭配。

Most IELTS students who we meet have enough vocabulary to get band seven, but they can't

我們遇到的大部分雅思學生，詞彙量都足夠考到第七段，但他們卻考不到

combine the words they know correctly.

把他們認識的字正確地組合起來。

Here's an exercise: read something in English every day.

這裡有一個練習：每天讀一些英文的東西。

It can be anything: a news article, a blog post, part of a story…

它可以是任何東西：一篇新聞，一篇博客文章，一個故事的一部分......。

Anything is fine.

什麼都可以。

In the text, try to find 5-10 new collocations using only words you already know.

在課文中，試著只用你已經認識的單詞，找出5-10個新的搭配。

The idea is not to learn new words; instead, your goal is to find new ways to use your

我們的目的不是學習新的單詞，而是尋找新的方法來使用你的。

existing vocabulary.

現有詞彙。

You can also use a dictionary to find new collocations.

你也可以用字典來尋找新的搭配。

For example, imagine that you're reading a news article and you see the phrase energy

例如，想象一下，你正在閱讀一篇新聞文章，你看到了能源這個詞組。

use.

使用。

You already know the words energy and use, so you learn this collocation.

你已經認識了能、用兩個字，那你就學這個搭配。

Next, look up the word energy in the dictionary, and find 2-3 more collocations, like:

接下來，在字典裡查一下能量這個詞，再找2-3個搭配，比如。

energy consumption green energy

能源消耗 綠色能源

conserve energy

節約能源

Keep track of your new collocations using digital flashcard apps like Quizlet or Anki.

使用Quizlet或Anki等數字閃卡應用程序跟蹤你的新拼寫。

By improving your knowledge of collocations, you'll be able to use a wider range of vocabulary

通過提高您的搭配知識，您將能夠使用更廣泛的詞彙。

in your IELTS speaking exam, and this will also help you to paraphrase.

在你的雅思口語考試中，這也會幫助你進行復述。

It's also important to read and listen in English regularly to build your vocabulary,

此外，經常用英語閱讀和聽力來積累詞彙量也很重要。

although this is a long process.

雖然這是一個漫長的過程。

Next, what about your grammar score?

接下來，你的文法成績如何？

To get band seven for grammar, you need to do two things.

要想獲得文法的第七段，你需要做兩件事。

One: you need to use a range of 'complex grammatical structures'.

一：你需要使用一系列 "複雜的語法結構"。

Two: you need to make 'frequent error-free sentences'.

二：你要做'經常性的無錯句'。

'Complex structures' here does not mean that you need to use very formal or academic

這裡的'複雜結構'並不是說你要用很正式或很學術的方式

language, as we mentioned before.

語言，正如我們之前提到的。

It means that you need to use different verb tenses, sentence structures, conjunctions

這意味著你需要使用不同的動詞時態、句子結構、連詞。

and so on.

諸如此類。

For example, imagine the examiner asks you:

比如，想象考官問你。

What kind of food do you prefer?

你喜歡吃什麼食物？

You answer:

你來回答。

I prefer Asian food.

我更喜歡亞洲食品。

I like strong flavours and spicy food, so I particularly like Thai food, Indian food,

我喜歡味道濃烈、辛辣的食物，所以我特別喜歡泰國菜、印度菜。

and so on.

諸如此類。

I'm quite keen on Japanese food as well.

我也挺喜歡吃日本料理的。

I think Indian food is probably my favourite.

我想印度菜可能是我的最愛。

This is a good answer in many ways, but it does not have enough grammatical range to

這在很多方面都是一個很好的答案，但它的文法範圍不夠大，無法做到

get band seven.

得到第七段。

Can you see why?

你能明白為什麼嗎？

There are four sentences all starting with the same word: I.

有四個句子的開頭都是同一個字：一。

All of the verbs are in the present tense.

所有的動詞都是現在時。

Also, only one sentence has a conjunction.

另外，只有一句話有一個連詞。

To get a higher score, you need to use a wider range of grammar, like this:

要想獲得更高的分數，你需要使用更廣泛的文法，比如這樣。

I prefer Asian food, such as Thai, Indian, and so on, because I've always been a big

我比較喜歡吃亞洲菜，比如泰國菜、印度菜等等，因為我一直都是一個很注重

fan of spicy food with strong flavours.

喜歡吃辣的食物，味道濃郁。

I tried Japanese food a few weeks ago, and I like it, although I'd say that Indian

幾周前我試過日本菜，我很喜歡，雖然我想說，印度的

food is probably my favourite.

食物可能是我的最愛。

Think about two things here.

在這裡要考慮兩件事。

One: the meaning is the same.

其一：意義相同。

You're expressing the same ideas.

你們表達的是同樣的想法。

Two: you're not using very complicated or formal language.

二：你用的語言不是很複雜，也不是很正式。

What changed?

是什麼改變了？

We combined the four sentences into two, using words like because and although.

我們把這四句話合為兩句，用了因為、雖然等詞語。

This will also help your fluency and coherence score!

這也將有助於你的流利度和連貫性得分!

We've also used a wider range of verb forms, such as the present perfect,

我們還使用了更廣泛的動詞形式，比如現在完成時。

the past simple, or the modal verb would

過去式

However, for most IELTS candidates, accuracy is more important for band seven.

不過，對於大多數雅思考生來說，準確率更重要的是帶七。

Remember that for band seven, you have to produce 'frequent error-free sentences'.

記住，對於第七段，你必須產生 "經常性的無錯誤句子"。

Think about the words 'error-free'.

想一想'無誤'這兩個字。

That means no mistakes.

這意味著不能出錯。

No mistakes with prepositions, no mistakes with the, no mistakes with verb tenses; no

沒有介詞的錯誤，沒有the的錯誤，沒有動詞時態的錯誤；沒有。

mistakes at all, even small ones.

錯，甚至是小錯。

If you've been studying English for a long time, you probably have some bad habits.

如果你學習英語的時間長了，可能會有一些不好的習慣。

For example:

例如：

You forget the 's' on 3rd person verbs, so you say 'she go' instead of 'she

你忘了第三人稱動詞的 "s"，所以你說 "她去 "而不是 "她"。

goes'.

去'。

You forget to use past forms, so you use present verbs to talk about the past.

你忘了用過去的形式，所以你用現在的動詞來談論過去。

You make mistakes with prepositions, like using at, in or on to talk about time.

你在使用介詞時犯了錯誤，比如用at、in或on來談論時間。

You use will to talk about everything in the future, instead of using going to or the present

你用意志來談論未來的一切，而不是用去或現在來談論。

continuous when you need to.

當你需要的時候，連續。

These are some of the most common examples, but there are more!

這些是最常見的一些例子，但還有更多的例子!

The point is: you probably make more mistakes than you realise.

重點是：你犯的錯誤可能比你意識到的還要多。

To get band seven for IELTS speaking, you need to get rid of these bad habits.

要想拿到雅思口語第七段，你需要擺脫這些壞習慣。

So, what should you do?

那麼，你應該怎麼做呢？

First, identify five common mistakes which you make.

首先，找出自己常犯的五個錯誤。

If you don't know, you might need to ask a teacher for feedback.

如果你不知道，你可能需要向老師反饋。

Next, choose one mistake to work on, then choose a topic and record yourself speaking,

接下來，選擇一個錯誤來解決，然後選擇一個話題，把自己的發言錄下來。

like you did before.

就像你之前做的那樣。

Choose a topic which fits the grammar you're practicing.

選擇一個符合你所練習的文法的題目。

For example, if you forget to use past tenses, choose a topic which is about the past.

例如，如果你忘了使用過去時，就選擇一個關於過去的話題。

Listen to the recording and count the mistakes you make.

聽聽錄音，數數自己犯的錯誤。

Only focus on one grammar mistake at one time.

一次只關注一個語法錯誤。

Repeat until you can speak for one minute without mistakes.

重複，直到你能說一分鐘不出錯為止。

Then, try again with a different mistake, or a different topic.

然後，換個錯誤，或者換個題目再試一次。

In this way, you can learn to speak more accurately, and get a better IELTS speaking score for

這樣一來，你就可以學會更準確的說話，獲得更好的雅思口語成績，為

your grammar.

你的文法。

Finally, what about pronunciation?

最後，發音呢？

To get band seven for pronunciation, you need to be easy to understand and use 'features

要想獲得帶七的發音，需要通俗易懂，用 "特色"。

of natural speech'.

自然語言的'。

What does that mean?

這意味著什麼？

For IELTS, this mostly means: intonation, weak forms, word stress, sentence stress,

對於雅思來說，這主要是指：語調、弱化形式、單詞重音、句子重音。

and linking.

和鏈接。

An important point: your accent does not matter for your IELTS score, so long as you're

重要的一點：你的口音對你的雅思成績並不重要，只要你是

easy to understand.
