在平時的課堂練習(xí)中經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)好多同學(xué)們的口語答案聽起來支離破碎,究其原因,往往是因?yàn)閷栴}沒有足夠的想法而無話可講;有的甚至為了追求詞匯語法100%準(zhǔn)確,而在回答過程中頻繁重復(fù),長時間停頓;要么就是思路天馬行空,想到哪說到哪…總之完全失去了流利度和連貫性——這其實(shí)是一種本末倒置,得不償失的做法,因?yàn)榱骼扰c連貫性(fluency & coherence)是雅思口語最為重要的一項(xiàng)評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),也就是說考官最看重考生的一項(xiàng)能力就是——是否可以在回答各部分問題時,基本保持流暢并且邏輯清晰。在本文中老師將詳細(xì)探討一下如何巧妙利用劍橋聽力中的原文,來提高我們口語的流利度與連貫性。
其實(shí),在口語表達(dá)中體現(xiàn)出連貫性并不復(fù)雜,往往就是通過合理地使用連接成分(discourse markers),使得我們的答案聽起來更加有邏輯性。但是因?yàn)橹杏⑽恼Z言表達(dá)上的差異,很多烤鴨們在下意識地做“中翻英”時,就忽略了連接成分的使用,結(jié)果,雖然語法沒有問題,但回答聽起來就像是用生硬的中文拼湊起來的。那么,接下來我們就向地道的劍橋聽力原文來取取經(jīng),看看如何表達(dá)才能更加連貫。

Oh, good morning. Um, I’m flying to Toronto Airport next week, and I need to get to a town called um, Milton. Could you tell me how I can get there.
Milton, did you say? Let me see, I think that’s about 150 miles southwest of there. In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least –say, thee to four hours by road.
Right. Well, I don’t really want to drive myself, so I’d like more information about public transport.
Ok. In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab and of course
there are always plenty available. But it’ll cost you. You can also take a
Greyhound bus or there’s an Airport Shuttle Service to Milton. Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad, especially if it’ll take me to the hotel.
But you need to reserve a seat.
…..yes, just me, please.
Right. And you said your expected time of arrival was 11.30? so if I book your
Shuttle for after 12.00—let’s say, 12.30: that should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage, maybe grab a coffee?
Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as we land on time!
Yes, that’ll be fine, provided I can book the return trip once I’m there.
Anyway, the address is 24, Kithchener Street- that’s KITHENER Street…..
【相關(guān)點(diǎn)評】
以上是劍橋7 test 1 Section1的部分原文,其中頻繁出現(xiàn)了大量常見的口語連接詞以及連接短語,它們所表現(xiàn)的邏輯關(guān)系包括了并列,轉(zhuǎn)折,總結(jié),讓步,假設(shè),強(qiáng)調(diào)等等。雖然每個回答的內(nèi)容都不長,可是邏輯關(guān)系卻都很清晰。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)雅思聽力section1當(dāng)中,無論是場景還是詞匯句型的使用,甚至包括大部分問題的回答長度都與雅思口語part1的內(nèi)容和要求比較符合。所以大家在籌備口語part1部分時,聽力section1就能起到很好的參考作用,尤其是其中的連接成分,可以立馬提高我們口語的連貫性。

Thank you calling the Tourist Line. There are many different ways of getting round the city and we’d like to suggest some you may not have thought of….
How about a city trip by boat? There are four main stopping points—from west to east:….
You can find the main booking office at stop A….
The first boat leaves at 8a.m. and the last one at 6.30p.m. There are also many attractions you can visit along the river. At stop A, if you have time, you can visit the fine 16th century palace here built for the king with its beautiful formal gardens….
Stop B why don’t you visit Tower Restaurant with its wide range of refreshments? This is a place where you can sit and enjoy the wonderful views over the old commercial and banking centre of the city.
Stop C is the area where, in the first century AD, invading soldiers crossed the river….
At furthest point of the trip, stop D, the most exciting place to visit is the new Entertainment Complex with seven- screen cinema, bowling alley and video games arcade.
Besides the boat tours, there are city buses. Two companies offer special services:….
【相關(guān)點(diǎn)評】
以上是劍橋7 test2 section 2 的部分原文,這個section的場景是關(guān)于旅游的,主要是對幾個景點(diǎn)的講解,除了一些常見的連接詞之外,我們主要關(guān)注的是一些連接整個文章的短句。這些短句起到了引導(dǎo)作用,把通篇很清晰,很有邏輯地連接起來。雅思聽力section2的場景和形式是“social monologue”(日常生活場景的獨(dú)白),場景是以旅游為主的日常生活內(nèi)容,而因?yàn)橹饕仟?dú)白的形式,少有問答,所以在表達(dá)中就會加入比較系統(tǒng)的連接成分,為了能夠使聽眾較為輕松地跟上說話人的節(jié)奏。這一點(diǎn)與雅思口語part2是比較接近的,因?yàn)閜art2通俗地講,就是在“講故事”,因此在part2想要拿到比較理想的分?jǐn)?shù),就一定要在規(guī)定的時間,將卡片上的內(nèi)容前后連貫地講解清楚,以便使這個“故事”進(jìn)展順利,有始有終,也就是要有“整體性”,而不是支離破碎的一些片段。因此,恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眠B接成分就成為了必不可少的手段。這樣的話,建議考生們不妨根據(jù)情況在口語part2中借鑒一下聽力section2的一些實(shí)用的連接詞或短句,把故事講得更加連貫。
