8分口语不是梦！~

口语，不如写作，有的时候并没有那么多的条条框框可以让同学们清晰的去Follow。有时候，口语更注重的，是Communication的过程，交流是首要！那么，在交流的过程中，要尽量的Maximise你的口语成绩，8分的口语不再是梦！~

【Key points】

A good vocabulary and content are important, BUT in my opinion, “Presentation precedes content, fluency precedes vocabulary” for the speaking exam. Adopt good presentation skills (eye-contact, pauses, speaking not too fast or slow). Read up and visualize a few possible questions. Make your answers exciting and passionate.

对于雅思口语考试来说，presentation重要过内容，流利程度比词汇量重要。好的演说技巧是很重要的，比如眼神交流，适当的停顿，不要说太快也不要说太慢等等。这会让你的答案变得更有趣，更有激情。

Fluency

Possessing a good stock of words is important, even more so than the writing exam (where you have the luxury of review and edit). However, fluency takes precedence over vocabulary, and if you feel you have forgotten the words, it is better to display a level of fluency with simple terms you know rather than struggle with numerous pauses while searching for the perfect word.

如果在口语考试的时候突然忘记了某一个单词某个词组，更好的解决办法是用一系列的简单词汇来描述它，以确保保持流利度，而不是一直纠结于这个忘记的词汇词组，以至于出现了很多不必要的停顿。

【无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐温馨提示：如果在口语考试的时候，一下子忘记了某个词或者某个表达，没关系！试着用简单的词汇来描述它。在这个时候，重要的是确保流利度，而不是一直停顿，一直尝试使用所谓的难词。流利度，很重要！】

Speak English before the Exam

Immediately before the exam – speak English：Freshen up before the speaking exam (there is usually a gap between the writing and speaking exams).

通常在写作考试和口语考试之间会有一段时间甚至是半天的间隔，最好是可以拿这段时间来练口语。把你脑中的语言模式转换成英语，可以在真实考试中避免很多不必要的口语和停顿。

【无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐温馨提示：通常来说，笔试考试和口语考试之间通常都会有一段时间的间隔，短则十几分钟，长则1-2小时。这段期间，除了可以用来填饱肚子Fresh up一下自己，也可以让自己先开始说英文，熟悉起来，从口头上也warm up一下自己的嘴巴！一段时间的练习，可以从一定程度让自己先转换到 “English Channel”, 在真正考试的时候不至于转不过来哦！】

Reasonable Pace

Speak at a reasonable pace, neither too fast nor slow. You can practice this by recording your normal speech and monitoring it, or foisting yourself on a good English speaking person and asking for his feedback.

用一种适中的语速讲话，不要太快也不要太慢。平时练习的时候，你可以录下你自己所说的话，然后回放，看一下自己的语速是否适中。或者也可以找一个说英语的朋友，让对方给你一些回馈。

Correct yourself

If you can do it immediately——if you make a mistake and you can correct it immediately, do so. This will show the examiner that you have control over the language. If, however, you are unsure how to correct yourself, move on: the examiner may not have noticed the mistake in the first place and if you try unsuccessfully to correct it, a small mistake may become a much bigger one.

如果意识到自己说错了，在自己能力范围内可以修改的话，就立即做修改。如果觉得自己可能没有办法做出很正确的修改的话，那就忽略这个小错误，继续说下去。因为很有可能考官都没有意识到你所犯的这个小错误，如果你能正确的修改，考官会觉得你有能力去驾驭英语，如果没有做出正确的修改，一个很小的错误可能会因此变成一个很大的错误，让考官在你的语法上扣分。

Key advice

Extend your answer appropriately--

If there is one key piece of advice, it is to extend your answer appropriately. 

For example, this is INAPPROPRIATE:

-Question: “How many languages do you speak?”

-Answer: “Two. Chinese and English.”

Better would be:

-Answer: “I speak two languages. My first language is Chinese and I speak English too. I’ve been learning English since I was 10. I started learning it when I was in primary school.”

Be aware, however, that very long answers are not always a good idea. It is possible that you will go off topic and lose coherence.

适当的扩展答案。但同时需要记住，太长的答案同样也不是一个好的答案。说的太长，就很有可能会说的偏题并且影响整体答案的逻辑连贯性。
