附：Jeffrey口语制胜秘笈

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.

通常我们认为词汇和内容在雅思口语中非常重要，但是我们认为在雅思口语考试中，表现和流利先于词汇和内容。一个好的表现技能包括（眼神接触，停顿，是否读快读慢-这点中国学生尤为注意，不要太快了）。

1. 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.

雅思口语和写作很大不同，在写作中需要大词和不断修改，而口语强调语言沟通的流畅性。

2. Remember to adopt basic presentation skills.

基本表现技巧

- Freshen up before the speaking exam (there is usually a gap between the writing and speaking exams).

梳洗一番，沐浴更衣，此点很是实用。

- Please ensure your breath is fresh by chewing on a few mints. The marker is unlikely to award high marks if he/she is semi-comatose from an examinee’s lethal halitosis.

嚼口香糖，呵呵，不要有口臭哦！

- Maintain good eye contact with the marker, and adopt a friendly demeanor. Remember that she is there to help you achieve high grades, not stall and obstruct your progress.

保持非常好的眼神交流。

- Speak at a reasonable pace, neither too fast or 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.

保持比较适度的口语速度。

- Modulate your tone. Raise and lower your voice a few times. While I am not advocating yodeling an entire cantata through your larynx, remember that the synonym for boredom is monotony – mono tone.

调节你的音调。但是你不要唱山歌哦！！语调不要一成不变。

- Use you hands in an expressive way, but don’t flay them about. Maintain a mild smile, but don’t giggle frivolously.

多运用手势，保持微笑，但是不要傻笑。

3. There are many websites that offer a good selection of possible questions. Read these and visualize your answers. This was the one area where I spent 6-7 hours preparing, but the actual questions turned out to be completely different!! Further, the link between the three questions was extremely tenuous, and I was asked to :

- Describe my favorite shop and discuss why I liked it.

- Discuss the shopping habits of my generation.

- Comment on the risks of online shopping.

As such, preparing beforehand will only confer limited benefits, and you need to rely upon your personal skills to get good marks.

对口语话题多做准备。
