在中国应试教育的压力下，口语成为很多烤鸭的大难题。兔兔特地采访了一位8分口语学霸，她不仅有从事雅思教育多年的经验，而且是位美籍华人。她从native speaker的角度为我们总结了以下几点问题。看看，你有木有中枪呢？
1.Stereotype answers
Do you like visiting natural places?
Before: Yes, for sure. I really enjoy visiting natural places, because nowadays it is a very suitable way to relieve the pressure of life. And it can not only relax ourselves but also broden our horizons.
After: Yes, for sure. I think visiting natural places is a great way to take the load off. What's more, it gives us a different kind of experience in relation to our fast-paced lifestyle.
点评：考生们在回答时习惯用enjoy，relax这样的词汇，并且喜欢背模版句。但往往这样墨守成规的答案会引起考官反感。
Before: Every coin has two sides.
After: There are two sides to everything.
点评：正如with the development of society 一样，有些学生自以为很高级的模版句往往让考官感到不适。还不如用as society develops，比较顺口。
2.Long Repetitive Answers
Before: In addition, members in the work group with nice relationship is the key to accomplish the goal efficiently, in other words, it's also the key to the career.
After: In addition, having a healthy work relationship can ensure efficiency and productivity.
点评：两个the key to还不如一个ensure来得实在，在考生回答问题时应避免过于冗杂的句子。
3.Direct Translation Answers
Before: I seldom use it because using emails stands for work.
After: I seldom use it, because to me, emails mean work.
点评：中国考生喜欢直译，但会让考官觉得怪怪的。考生们可以通过多看英语电影、文章等来学习。
4. Chinglish Answers
Before: Reading is just like talking and talking with the wise guys is benefit and pleasing.
点评：这真的没法改了……读完脑海里就可以浮现出中文时，考生需要再谨慎思考一下。
Before: Young people prefer exciting and fresh leisure methods.
After: Youngsters love to venture out on new and cool activities.
点评：此新鲜非彼新鲜呐……替换低级词汇，再用地道表达，一个高分答案就出炉啦～
除此我们来欣赏几个好句子。
I have gotten many advice from friends and vice versa (反之亦然).
A good relationship with colleagues can go a long way (会大有帮助).
I can always see countless stars shine out against the black velvet sky (黑天鹅绒似的天空).
Without a good plan, you tend to procrastinate (拖延).
This color really brings out my personality（凸显性格). And I believe every color is special in its own way(各有其美)。
