The next thing that's very important is the vocabulary you use.
第二个重点是你所使用的词汇。
Remember, you're getting marked on four different things. One of these things is vocabulary.
请记住,考官有四项评分标准,其中之一就是词汇。
How do you improve your vocabulary mark?
如何提高你的词汇得分呢?
Well, don't use simple, easy, boring, low-level words like,
不要用简单、普通、无趣的低水平词汇,
"I like basketball because it's good. I don't like soccer because it's bad."
如“我喜欢篮球因为它很好。我不喜欢足球因为它不好。”
These words, "bad, good ", they're too easy.
“好,坏”这些词过于普通了。
You need to try to find vocabulary that is higher level and practice before you do the IELTS.
你应该试着去寻找更高水平的词汇,并在雅思考试之前好好练习。
For example, a good thing to do is look at the list of topics you will probably be asked about.
例如,过一遍你可能被问到的话题列表就很有帮助。
Food is a very common thing they will ask you about.
食物是被经常问到的一个话题。
Try to come up with vocabulary in advance and practice this vocabulary about the different topics.
试着提前准备各个话题的词汇并充分练习。
For example, I know they may ask me a question about food.
比方说,我知道他们会问我关于食物的问题。
I might learn some words that have to do with food.
我就去学一些食物相关的新词。
Maybe I don't know the word "cuisine".
可能我还不认识“cuisine(美味佳肴)”这个词。
Well, if they ask me a question about food, I can say, "My favorite type of food -- I love Indian cuisine."
他们问到食物时,我可以说,“我最喜欢的食物类型嘛——我热爱印度美食(Indian Cuisine)。”
And there you go. They've just noticed you used a higher level word.
这就很不错。考官会注意到你用了一个高级词汇。
Same with friends.
换成朋友话题也一样。
A common word we use when we talk about friends, we talk about "acquaintances".
谈到朋友我们其实可以说“acquaintances(熟人,泛泛之交)”。
This is another good word to use.
这也是一个很好用的词汇。
Again, try to come up with vocabulary for each of the different topics, and practice.
每个话题都一样,找到相应的好词汇,充分练习。
Now, in this part of the IELTS, the examiner may ask you about what you like.
在口试部分,考官常会问到你的爱好。
"Do you like to play sports? What hobbies do you like? What are your favorite foods?"
“你喜欢运动吗?你的爱好是什么?你最喜欢的食物是什么?”
Now, one thing a lot of students do is they overuse "I like". "I like this. I like that. I like this. I like that."
很多同学的问题在于,过度使用“I like(我喜欢)”。“我喜欢这个,我喜欢那个。我喜欢这个,我喜欢那个。”
This is not going to help you with your vocabulary mark.
这可能会拉低你的词汇分。
Instead of using "I like" a lot, try something different.
与其过度使用 I like,不如试试不同的表达。
"I enjoy playing basketball. I enjoy hanging out with my friends.
“我很享受打篮球的乐趣。和朋友出去玩我感到很开心。
I really love yoga. I really love bowling." "I prefer playing sports to doing other activities."
我对瑜伽非常着迷。我热爱打保龄球。”“相比其他课外活动,我更喜欢做运动。”
"I enjoy, I really love, I prefer"
“我享受、我热爱、与……相比我更……”
-- I'm sure you can come up with more, but it's good to practice these types of expressions before you do the IELTS."
——你们肯定能找到更多表达,但在考试前多多练习这些表达才能学以致用。
