雅思口語(yǔ)考試的本質(zhì)是:衡量考生用英文的交流能力。
Your ability to use English as a tool to communicate with the examiner in an effective manner.
也就是說(shuō)在11-14分鐘的考試過(guò)程中, 考官期待考生做出:“自然,順暢,有效的交流”。
那么, 要達(dá)到自然,順暢,有效的交流,必須做到的是:“考生能聽(tīng)懂考官的提問(wèn)并積極互動(dòng)” + “考官也能夠輕松的明白你的意思”。
因此, 雅思官方所設(shè)定的“四大評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(流利度連貫性;詞匯的使用;語(yǔ)法的使用;發(fā)音)”就是用來(lái)衡量考生用英文的交流能力——Your ability to use English as a tool to communicate with the examiner in an effective manner.
今天,就來(lái)和大家聊聊流利度和正確度, 哪個(gè)更重要?
我的答案是: 正確度更重要。
首先, 我們必須了解一下流利度和正確度到底都包含哪些具體的內(nèi)容:
流暢度(Fluency)包括:
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中,卡頓極少或無(wú)卡頓;
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中,自我糾錯(cuò)極少或無(wú)自我糾錯(cuò);
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中,自我重復(fù)極少或無(wú)自我重復(fù)。
正確度(Accuracy)包括:
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中, 詞匯使用準(zhǔn)確;
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中, 語(yǔ)法使用準(zhǔn)確;
考生在口語(yǔ)考試中, 發(fā)音及重音準(zhǔn)確。
▼▼來(lái)吧,舉幾個(gè)栗子:
①Part 1 詞匯使用錯(cuò)誤
考官問(wèn)到:What do you do the most when you go to the school library?
考生回答:Well, what I often do is to write my homework as it seems all the teachers assign us so much work every day.
解析:
“寫(xiě)作業(yè)”的地道英文表達(dá)應(yīng)該是do/complete/finish/work on homework;而write homework 是典型的中式表達(dá); 即使考生的流利度再好,考官也聽(tīng)懂了考生的意思,這種詞匯使用方面的錯(cuò)誤還是會(huì)大大影響考生的最終得分!
②Part 2 語(yǔ)法使用錯(cuò)誤
Describe a time when you had to wait for someone
You should say:
Who you had to wait for
What you planned to do
Where you waited for him/her
And explain how you felt when waiting for him
考生的部分答案:Well, speaking of a time when I have to wait for someone, I think it is just 2 weeks ago when I wait for my friend, Peter. And he is a friend of me from college, and we plan to watch a movie at a cinema where is near our company...
解析:
▼▼語(yǔ)法方面共有三處錯(cuò)誤:
1.時(shí)態(tài)使用錯(cuò)誤。話題卡要求描述之前發(fā)生過(guò)的事件,考生須使用過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài);答案中動(dòng)詞have 因該是had;is應(yīng)該是was;wait應(yīng)該是waited;plan應(yīng)該是planned;
2.代詞使用錯(cuò)誤。“我的一個(gè)朋友”正確的表達(dá)是 a friend of mine, 而不是a friend of me (mine-我的; 是名詞性物主代詞,做主語(yǔ);me-我,是代詞, 只能做賓語(yǔ));
3.關(guān)系詞使用錯(cuò)誤(定語(yǔ)從句)。這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句中:we plan to watch a movie at a cinema where is near our company...,cinema 是先行詞,是定語(yǔ)從句要修飾的部分,它是一個(gè)名詞且做后面定語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ),因此這里需要用關(guān)系代詞which或that,而不能使用關(guān)系副詞where。
總結(jié): 即使考生的流利度再好,考官也聽(tīng)懂了考生的意思,這種語(yǔ)法使用方面的錯(cuò)誤還是會(huì)大大影響考生的最終得分!
③發(fā)音及重音錯(cuò)誤
考官問(wèn)到:Why do some people choose to buy expensive jewelries to maintain value?
考生回答:Well, maybe that’s because certain jewelries made of jade or gold are less likely to depreciate in the long term. Instead, they probably would appreciate soon, which means it is wise way to invest.
解析:
考生答案中,個(gè)別單詞發(fā)音及重音出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤,比如depreciate, probably, invest.等等(此處需自行腦部...); 發(fā)音失誤可能導(dǎo)致兩個(gè)問(wèn)題:1. 考官聽(tīng)不懂考生在表達(dá)什么,出現(xiàn)交流障礙;2.考官也有可能誤解考生想要表達(dá)的意思,出現(xiàn)交流失??;另外,即使考生的流利度再好,單詞發(fā)音方面的錯(cuò)誤還是會(huì)大大影響考生的最終得分!
