如何讓自己的英語口語聽起來更地道？

 在雅思口語的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中，詞匯是不可忽視的一部分，在這部分中，首先要求我們能夠足夠詞匯對(duì)話題展開討論，除此之外，如果在詞匯部分想要取得7分以上的分?jǐn)?shù)，一定不可以忽視英語習(xí)語的使用。

我們先來看一下在習(xí)語的使用在評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的要求。

7分：uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary

8分：uses less common and idiomatic vocabulary skilfully, with occasional inaccuracies

可以看出，如果想要突破7分，就必須要能夠在口語中使用一些習(xí)語表達(dá)，如果再進(jìn)一步提升分?jǐn)?shù)，則需要我們能夠有效且正確地使用一些習(xí)語。

在口語中適當(dāng)穿插一些符合話題要求的習(xí)語或者俗語，既是對(duì)語言掌握靈活度的體現(xiàn)，滿足口語的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中對(duì)于詞匯的要求，也是對(duì)聊天者的文化了解和尊重的表示。舉一個(gè)例子，天氣是英國人聊天的一個(gè)常見話題，也是在考試中頻繁出現(xiàn)的題目，如果我們?cè)谥v下雨的時(shí)候，使用”It rains cats and dogs（傾盆大雨）” 來描述大雨，不僅生動(dòng)地描述雨勢(shì)之大，也會(huì)讓外國朋友或者考官感受到你的英語口語能力和對(duì)英語文化的了解。

那么今天我們就來給大家分享一些在和雅思口語話題相關(guān)的地道英語習(xí)語。

休息，假期等在雅思口語中的高頻話題，在解釋假期和休息對(duì)人們的重要性時(shí)，可以使用這句話。

例題1：Is it important for people to have a rest?

Yes, it is necessary to have a rest. The main factor is that people really need unwind themselves without any distraction after tiring work. Just as a saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. If there is no time-off from work, people will be under heavy pressure.

例題2：How could Internet affect children?

Surely it can be a beneficial thing, since children are able to acquire knowledge and understand information through Internet, as they can search whatever they are into on various websites which contains information about science, art and so on.

例題3：Do you prefer to study in the morning or in the afternoon?

I prefer to study in the morning. As the saying goes “An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. ”. Morning is a time when my body is fully relaxed and refreshed, since my pressure was released by a good sleep. Besides, the sunlight and fresh air in the morning make me feel comfortable.

4. Burning the midnight oil.(挑燈夜讀，熬夜工作學(xué)習(xí))

除了早晨，大家在學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)也會(huì)出現(xiàn)挑燈夜讀的情況，就可以使用這個(gè)例句了。

例題4：Do you think young people organize their time in the same way?

I think most young people have no idea that how to organize a clear timetable and prefer to stay up to finish their assignments or tasks before deadlines. But I think wise time-management skills are indispensable. “Burning the midnight oil” is not always the most effective way to achieve goals.

5. Every cloud has a silver lining. (每條烏云都有銀邊。形容天無絕人之路)

我們?cè)诿枋鯬art 2事件類話題時(shí)，可以使用這句話，來銜接故事前后的轉(zhuǎn)折。比如，“改變的計(jì)劃”，“遲到的經(jīng)歷”是我們?cè)趐art 2常見的考題，當(dāng)我們描述一次因遲到?jīng)]有趕上火車時(shí)，就可以用這句話來引出后面的結(jié)尾。
