假如遇到“笑眯眯”的帅哥考官，那估计7分没跑了，如果遇到一脸严肃的“大叔老太”，只能说运气衰暴了，还是回去默默再报一场，祈祷下次考口语时能够遇到一位友善仁慈的考官。
当然，以上的“考官论”并没有一定的科学依据，从小到大我们都被教育不能以貌取人，洋气点的说法是“don' t judge a book by its cover.”你咋就知道乐呵呵的考官一定会给高分？说不定人家只是皮笑肉不笑，内心早已呵呵哒发了满屏的弹幕吐槽；再者，雅思口语有公开的评分标准，相对来说还是比较客观的。假如考生自身实力到达7分的标准，出来的成绩并不会浮动很大。
那么，所谓的高分口语表达和低分表达的差距在哪里呢？
总体而言，8分口语和6分口语间最大的区别在于以下三点：
1. The high level answers are a more natural style.
这点指，高分答案往往用一种更口语化，更Native的表达
2. The high level answers use more linking phrases.
虽说口语没有答偏题这一说，但是语句中的逻辑性还是需要的。太过混乱的逻辑会让考官听不明白你到底在说什么。因而，连接词的使用很重要。
3. The high level answers are more detailed when describing or explaining something, （using reasons / examples / comparisons）。
高分的答案更具体，更详细，不抽象。小伙伴们完全可以用举例或者对比这种简单的手法，来给自己的口语表达添色。
下面就让我们看看几个例子：
Question 1: Do you like your university?
6分表达： Yes. My teachers are very good and I have lots of friends there.
点评：这是个典型的6分答案，无功无过。虽然把问题讲清楚了，但用词和语句都太过简单，回答不够有力，很难拿高分。
7+表达： Yes I do. I think my university's great, because I mean, firstly, the teachers there are all really good, you know, I've learnt a huge amount from them. And another thing I really like about my university is the friends I've made there.
点评：类似于I mean, you know 这类是比较native的口头表达，并不难学。但是烤鸭们要切记，一定不能用过量。简简单单的去剖析细节，分数就比笼统的一句话来的漂亮。
Question 2: How often do you watch TV?
6分表达： Not often, because I prefer using the Internet.
点评：这个答案相较于上一题的回答有进步，但依然不足。好的是，后面加来一句I prefer，并没有单单说一个Not often。不足的是，对于Part 1而言，这类问题的回答仍是太过简短。建议3-4句话为佳。
7+表达： Not that often actually. I mean, I probably only watch it about two or three times a week, basically because I prefer watching stuff on the Internet.
点评：actually,这一个词的使用是较为地道的表达。相信大家日常跟 local聊天的时候，可以发现，他们时时刻刻都喜欢把xxxx actually挂在嘴边，我们也可以学起来。另外，two or three times a week是一个细节，补充说明之前的not often究竟是一周几次。Prefer watching stuff on the Internet又是一个细节，说明自己不常看电视的原因。
Question 3：Do you prefer eating at home or eating in a restaurant?
6分表达： I prefer eating at home because it's healthier than eating out.
点评：很好，给出了原因，比question 2又一进步了一点。但是无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐建议，可以再往深处挖一点点，再加一点口语化的词汇，例如Simply Because这类词组，才能给考官一个给你高分的 理由
7+表达： I'd say I generally prefer eating at home, simply because the food I eat at home is a lot healthier than the food you get in most restaurants.
点评：是不是觉得很native—— I'd say, simply because大家可以学着用起来， the food I eat at home is a lot healthier,解释了前文所说的为什么喜欢在家里吃饭的原因，比较级的运用可以算是小小地show off一下哟——
Question 4：When was the last time you received a gift?
6分表达： About five weeks ago.
点评：不用无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐说，大家也能意识到这个回答太过简短了吧？口语是一个communication的过程，就算是有啥答啥的实在人，也千万不要用这种answer来回答考官。
7+表达： Let me have a little think, um…… I suppose it must have been about five or six weeks ago, and it was some chocolate that a friend of mine gave me when he came over to my home for dinner （coz my friends all know that I'm a bit of a chocoholic!）
点评： 这就迎来了这么一个问题，假如遇到不会答的问题怎么办？切记切记，雅思口语考试其实也是一个交流的过程，考官不一定期望你知道所有问题的答案，但一定expect你有response。Let me have a little think… I suppose……这就是非常好的开头。Must have been是红果果的show off有木有——后面的例子丰富了答案，增加可信度。
Question 5: Would you like to move to another city in the future?
6分表达： No, because I love my hometown.
点评：如此的答案，未免令人有一种此考生异常 “冷艳” ，“无法深入交流”的错觉。如此简短的句子如何能展示你的口语能力，让考官心服口服给你个高分？
7+表达： No I wouldn't, the main reason being that I love my hometown, so if I moved somewhere else, I'm sure I wouldn't be as happy as I am living here.
点评：同样是歌颂家乡好，话锋一转，在这个表达中就柔和了许多。虚拟语气的运用显示出了较好的语言功底。无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐再次重申，理由（reasons）和例子（examples）在口语中是非常非常重要的得分点。
Question 6: Can you describe your home a little?
6分表达： My home is big, for example we have a big living room. And um……We also have a good view because our flat is very high.
点评： 其实这个答案并不会得很低分。一般想要6分的同学完全可以这样说。对于想要7分甚至于是更高的烤鸭们而言，切记切记，一定要explain more！
7+表达： Yeah, sure. Well first of all, it's pretty big. For example, the living room is about three or four times the size of this room. And, um…what else… oh yeah, and another thing to mention is the view, because we live quite high up, on the twentieth floor, so we've got a really nice view of the city centre.
点评：在考试的高压下假如能说出这样的答案，那么7分妥妥的。对于家的描述可以说是雅思的经典题型，其变体的出现频率非常高，但烤鸭们要回答得好还是有点难度的，因为可讲的东西有很多，稍不留神就会显得messy。这个回答中，告诉了考官房间的大小（three or four times the size of this room），楼层的高低。全篇都是细节，非常符合高分的三大准则。 |
