Hello, I'm Oli. Welcome to Oxford Online English. In this lesson, you can learn about the IELTS speaking exam.

你们好,我是奥利。等待来到牛津在线英语课堂。这节课里,你会学到关于雅思口语考试的内容。

You can see how the exam works, and how your score is decided. In another lesson, we gave you some advice for the speaking exam.

你可以晓得到考试内容和评分标准。在其他课程里,咱们会给你一些口语考试的主张。

However, I've helped a lot of students prepare for IELTS, and most people don't seem to have a clear idea of how the exam works, and in particular, how the examiners work out your score. Understanding the exam and the scoring system can help you to prepare for the exam more effectively.

可是,我协助许多学生备考雅思,可是大都人不是很理解考试是怎么进行的,特别是考官如何给你打分。理解考试和打分体系可以帮你更有用的备考。

The IELTS speaking test has three sections, and lasts around 11-14 minutes in total. The test is the same whether you are taking general IELTS or academic IELTS.

雅思口语考试有三有些,一共约11至14分钟。不管你是参加移民类雅思仍是学术类雅思,考试是相同。

The exam is supposed to be like a real-life conversation—the examiners want to see if you can communicate in a natural way. Your exam will be recorded, and examiners use the recording to determine your score.

考试应像是真实日子化的交流,考官想要看你是不是可以天然交流。你的查验会被记载,考官根据记载抉择你的分数。

First, let's look at the three sections of the speaking test. Part one is the introduction.

首要,让咱们看看口语考试的三个有些。第一有些是毛遂自荐。

During part one, the examiner will welcome you and ask you some simple questions about yourself. Some common topics which the examiner might ask you about are: your job, your hometown, hobbies and interests, simple things like this.

第一有些,考官会等待你并问你一些自个的简略疑问。考官可以会问你一些常见论题:你的作业、家乡、喜爱和快乐喜爱,类似这种简略的疑问。

Of course, there are other possibilities. However, the questions in part one should be quite simple.

当然还有其他的可以。可是,第一有些的疑问会很简略。

Part one lasts around four or five minutes. Next is part two, the long turn.

第一有些约4-5分钟。接下来是第二有些,较长的有些。

In part two, the examiner will give you a topic. You have one minute to prepare a speech on the topic.

在第二有些,考官会给你一个论题。你有一分钟就这个论题预备讲话。

Let's look at a sample question: "Describe an important choice you had to make in your life. You should say: When you had this choice What you had to choose between Whether you made a good choice And explain how you felt when you were making this choice."

让咱们看一个样题:描绘一个你在日子中做的重要抉择。你大约说:你何时做的抉择,你从啥中做的选择,你是不是做了正确的选择,说明你在做选择时的感触。

You can make notes during your preparation time, although you only have one minute, so don't try to write too much—just write short notes if you write anything. You need to speak for between one and two minutes in part two.

你可以在预备时刻里做笔记,尽管只需一分钟时刻,所以别写太多,写的话就简略的记下笔记。第二有些你要说一到两分钟。

If you speak for longer, the examiner will interrupt you, but this doesn't really matter. You need to talk for at least one minute.

假定你说超时了,考官会打断你,但这没联络。你有必要说至少一分钟。

If you talk for less than one minute, it might affect your score.After you finish speaking, the examiner will ask you one or two basic questions about what you said, just to ask for more detail about some of the points which you made.

假定你的说话少于一分钟,可以会影响成果。在你讲完后,考官会根据你所说的问你一至两个根柢疑问,就你说的要点问一些细节。

Next is part three, which is the open discussion. The examiner will ask you more complex and open-ended questions.

接下来是第三有些,安适谈论。考官会问你更凌乱,翻开式的疑问。

The topic is generally related to the topic from part two, although the examiner can take the conversation in a different direction. The examiner wants to see if you can give longer, more detailed answers, and also talk about abstract or unfamiliar topics.

该论题一般和第二有些有关,尽管考官会从不一样方向谈起。考官想看看你是不是能给出更多、更具体的答复,并谈论笼统或不了解的论题。

The examiner will take part in the conversation, so it will be more like a dialogue than a simple question-and-answer format. Of course, you should try to talk as much as possible, and also give long, detailed answers if you can.

考官会参加谈论,所以这更像是对话而不是简略的问答方法。当然,假定可以的话,你大约试着尽可以给出详尽的答复。

Part three lasts four or five minutes, and then that's the end of your exam. Next, let's look at the scoring system.

第三有些持续四、五分钟,然后考试结束。下一步,咱们看看打分体系。

You probably know that IELTS is scored from zero to nine, where zero

means you just didn't turn up for the exam, and nine means you sound like a native speaker; there's no difference. However, your speaking score is actually made of four parts.

你可以晓得雅思的打分是从0到9,0分意味着你没参加考试,9分意味着你听起来像以英语为母语的人,毫无差异。而你的口语分数实际上由4有些构成。

The four parts are fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. For each part, assuming you open your mouth at least once during the speaking test, you get a score from one to nine.

这四有些是流利联接、词汇、语法和发音。假定你在口语考试中至少开口一次,每一有些你的得分都是从0到9.

The four scores are then averaged to make your final score for the speaking test. For example, if you get 5 for fluency/coherence, 6 for vocabulary, 6 for grammar, and 5 for pronunciation, then your overall score would be 5.5 ( (5+5+6+6)/4) .

口语考试的究竟成果是根据这四个成果的均匀分。例如,假定你的流利/联接是5分,词汇6分,语法6分,发音5分,那么你的总分就是5.5 ( (5+5+6+6)/4) .

Let's look now at what the examiners are looking for and how they decide these four scores. For fluency and coherence, the examiners are looking for the following things.

如今咱们看看考官们查询的是啥,他们是如何给这四有些打分的。关于流通联接性,考官查询的是如下作业。

The ability to speak fluently, without stopping to think or speaking slowly, or pausing or anything like that.

The ability to give longer answers without difficulty - that means answers which are several sentences long, and which are more complex; expressing your meaning clearly; answering the questions which the examiner asks, and giving relevant answers - that means answering the question in a way that shows that you've understood the question.

流利对话的才能,不必停下来思考或怠慢语速,或暂停之类的。毫不吃力的给出详尽答复的才能,这意味着答复要包括几个更为凌乱的语句,理解表达意思,给出有关的答案答复考官的疑问,这意味着你能了解考官的发问并给出答案。

Finally, using connecting words and phrases to link your sentences together. For vocabulary, they're looking for: the ability to choose words correctly - meaning using words in a way which shows that you understand exactly what the words mean; using less common and idiomatic vocabulary accurately is important if you want to get a higher score, say band 7.0 and up.

最终,用联接词和词组将你的语句连起来。词汇方面查询的是正确选词的才能,意味着你完全理解这些词的意思,正确运用不常见词汇和惯用语是很重要的,假定你想要得高分,比方7分或以上。

Finally, being able to explain words and ideas which you don't know is also important. Not knowing a word is not necessarily a problem, if you can explain it in another way.

最终,有才能说明你不晓得的词汇和主意也是很重要的。不知道一个词不必定是疑问,假定你可以用另一个方法说明它。

For grammar: using a mix of simple and complex sentence structures correctly - so that means using shorter sentences and longer sentences, using obviously simple sentences with one part, or complex sentences with many parts. Also, of course speaking accurately, without language mistakes.

语法查询的是可以正确运用简略和凌乱的混合句型,这意味着运用长短句,显着一有些是简略句型,或其他有些是凌乱句型。当然还要说话精确,不能有言语差错。

In IELTS, they also make a difference between language mistakes which make understanding difficult, which are not so serious, and language mistakes which make understanding difficult, which are more serious. For pronunciation, the scoring system is also quite simple.

雅思考试中,他们也会对这两种言语错过失异对待。一种是不严峻的了解妨碍,另一种是严峻的了解妨碍。发音的打分方法很简略。

First and most importantly: speaking clearly - if your pronunciation is clear, or not, that's a big part of your score.They also look at how you use features of native English speech (things like weak forms, linking, intonation and so on) .

首要最重要的是发音清楚,发音清楚与否是你得分的重要有些。他们还会查询你如何运用英语母语说话者的特征(如弱读、联接、语调等等)。

The more features you use, and the more accurately you use them, the higher the score you can get. You can see the full mark scheme here, with detailed descriptions for each level, if you want to look at it and learn more about it.

你用到的特征越多,越精确,你的得分就越高。假定你想参照并晓得更多,你可以在这儿看到悉数的评分标准,及每个等级的具体描绘。

Finally, let's do some examples to see how this might work in practice. So, first of all we have student A.

最终,让咱们举例看看这些是如何使用的。所以首要咱们有一个同学A。

Student A has a really good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. He thinks very carefully before he speaks to make sure each sentence is accurate and perfect, with no mistakes.

A同学非常擅长词汇和语法常识。他在每次说话之前都细心思考,保证每个语句都精准、完满,没有一点错。

Because of this, he speaks quite slowly, with long pauses between each sentence. His pronunciation is clear, but he has a heavy accent which makes him difficult to understand sometimes.

因为这个缘由,他语速很慢,每句话之间都有很长的中止。他的发音理解,但有很重的口音,这让他有时了解困难。

So what kind of score might he get for the speaking test?Probably, he would get around 4 for fluency and coherence, because he can't speak without pausing.

所以在口语考试中他的得分会是多少呢?他可以在流通联接上得4分支配,因为他不能一口气说下去。

You can't get higher than 3 or 4 for fluency if you pause too much. His grammar and vocabulary are accurate, so he would probably get 6 or maybe 7.

假定你中止太多就不能在流通上得高于3或4的分数。他的语法和词汇精准,所以他在这方面可以得6或7分。

It would be difficult to get a higher score because his lack of fluency would prevent him from speaking a lot. If it takes you a long time to produce every sentence, then you won't produce so many sentences, especially because the exam's quite short, so that makes it hard to get higher scores in other areas if your fluency isn't good.

他不会得高分,因为说话不畅会使他的表达受限。假定每句话都要花很长时刻,那么你就无法造出许多语句,特别是因为考试很短,假定你表达不畅就很难在其他方面得高分。

For pronunciation, it's mostly clear, but not always clear; he would probably get 5. So overall, he would probably get around 5.0 or 5.5.

发音大都是理解的,但不是老是很理解,那么他可以会得5分。所以大体上,他可以会得5或5.5支配。

He might be disappointed, because he knows his grammar and vocabulary are very good. However, without speaking fluently, it's harder to get a higher score.

他可以会绝望,因为他晓得自个语法和词汇极好。可是,说话不畅就很可贵高分。

Let's do one more example. Now we have Student B. She's very confident in her speaking; she can speak fluently.

再来看另一个比方。咱们来看学生B。她对自个的口语很自傲,她可以说一口流利的英语。

Giving longer answers is no problem. She makes a lot of grammar and vocabulary mistakes, but her meaning is almost always clear and easy to understand.

给出详尽地答复不是疑问。她有许多语法和词汇差错,但她的意思几乎老是清楚易懂。

Her pronunciation is generally clear, with a light accent. She makes a few mistakes, but she's very easy to understand, again.

她的发音大体清楚,有一点口音。她有一点差错,但仍是能让人听得很理解。

So, what score would she get? For fluency and coherence, she would probably get 6 or 7, because she can speak fluently (and) she can give longer answers without any problems.

那么她得多少分?在流通联接度上,她可以得6或7分,因为她说话流利,毫不吃力地给出详尽地答复。

For vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, she probably get around 6, because although she makes mistakes, her meaning is easy to understand. So overall, she would get around 6.0.

在词汇,语法和发音上,她可以得6分支配,因为尽管她有差错,但她能让人听得很理解。所以她的全体得分是6分支配。

She would need to improve her grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation skills to get 7. Because although you can get 6.0 while making quite a lot of mistakes, you can't make very many mistakes if you want to get 7.0.

她需要前进语法、词汇和发音技巧以便得到7分。因为即便你犯了许多差错,但仍可以得6分,若想得7分则不能犯这些差错。

Understanding the exam and the scoring system can really help you to prepare for the test. Next, I suggest you watch this lesson, if you haven't already, to get some useful advice for the speaking test.
