Everyone says that it is not easy to slaughter ducks, and 2000+ is not a training fee. If you go to other places to take the test, you have to count the accommodation expenses, transportation expenses, etc., and the cost of taking an IELTS test is huge.
And when it comes to the subjects that roast ducks are most afraid of
Speaking is sure to be on the list! Spend more than 2,000 yuan to chat with the examiner once, and accidentally become a "joke in the world", which is really tearful for those who hear it and sad for those who see it.
Every year, there are always endless rollover accidents in the oral test room, and some roast ducks laugh and say that "it may be an embarrassing experience that you can't forget for a lifetime", and then I will give you a wave of "IELTS Speaking Test Room Adventures", come and take a look!
One. The examination room overturned incident
IELTS examiner: shall we begin now?
Me: Okay. The first time I went to the test, I didn't know anything, and I was asked what's your full name?
Then at that time, the examiner's big tongue + I was extremely nervous and listened to what's your phone number?So I started reporting my ** number ......
The examiner asked me what I was planning to do next weekend, and I said I planned to take IELTS again, and he laughed
The speaking test originally had the strength of 6 points, and once I played very well in the oral test, I was very happy, and when I went out, I high-fived the examiner and said "give me five"!
The examiner was stunned for a moment, and gave me a high-five, and the final score was really 5 points......
I wasn't nervous on the day of the speaking test, but a boy who was waiting with me wiped his sweat frantically, and finally brought me to a panic.
When it was my turn, the enthusiastic examiner invited me into the little dark room, I was so flustered that I saw a stool and rushed over and sat down, and then the examiner stared at me with a smile and said, "did you sit in the wrong seat?".I said: ahhh! where is my seat?His face was smiling, and he gestured to the stool opposite.
In the end he gave it a 6 and I'm really thankful.
In the winter, I took the exam in the Northeast, because the down jacket was too slippery, and I was too nervous, so I slipped off the chair during the oral test... The examiner and I were both stunned.
During the first IELTS test, I met a very handsome British male examiner, and I chatted with him happily throughout the whole process. He asked me why I was so happy, and I said, "You are so handsome", and when he heard it, he smiled shyly, and his smile became even more handsome, and my heart bloomed.
In the end, the oral score came out with 5 points, and it was indeed a very happy chat that I spent money on.
After all, it was a mistake.
In this regard, A Tuijun wants to say that in Kaoya's thinking, in addition to the money spent is smack-smacked, their experience is even more distressing.
In fact, speaking is an application-oriented test, and we need to improve our language application ability - in the face of any topic, in a short period of time, the brain can be able to express itself in a hierarchical and logical manner.
Two. Colloquially, dry goods
1. Sentence structure problems.
In daily expression, in addition to the formal subject of the sentence of it is, you can also consider the word segmentation and sentence starter, and the sentence expressed is relatively low in use, which has the opportunity for the examiner to make a comparison with other candidates.
For example, it was relatively insignificant to s**e energy in a corporation in the past....
vsbeing green used to be a luxury for a company, but climate change has made you realize that you can no longer ignore it.）
2. Vocabulary problems.
Choose words with high variability to increase the richness of the vocabulary, such as words with many parts of speech changes and synonyms, it is recommended to try the comparative level and the highest level.
3. The first impression of the offline speaking test is very important.
Before the start of the paper-and-pencil test, you must not underestimate answering a few security questions from the examiner at the door, and be polite when checking the voice of the computer-based test, do not panic and adjust the volume, try to maintain a state similar to chatting, do not keep your head down to speak, and do not look at people talking.
4. Part 1.
The part1 part should not be complicated, one is easy to make mistakes, and the other is that the examiner raises the expectations of the later part, and if the sentence level drops later, it is easy for the examiner to suspect that you are memorizing the answer.
Exam room example: In part1, the conditional sentence had einstein not discovered the photoelectric effect, we wouldn't be able to apply the solar cell technology todayIt's a very strong start. Note that the subsequent fluency will largely determine how eye-catching this part1 highlight sentence is.
5. Fluency issues.
Use complex grammar and sentence structures on the premise of fluency in the language. If you don't practice fluently, ensure fluency first, and use complex grammar on the basis of fluency will be a high-score highlight.
To improve fluency, the accumulation of corpus is very important, and on the premise of fully understanding the multi-faceted background of the corpus, many questions can be related to a story, and the aspects of the answers can be adjusted.
6. About the question change season.
Oral language can give the examiner a sense of freshness, and preparing a new story is a plus, so the season is not necessarily a bad thing, and it is suitable for candidates with strong adaptability.
Speaking prepared stories, boring stories that are interesting will also be a plus (in the examiner's words), provided that fluency is okay.
