说起雅思口语，备考不知从何入手？
面对雅思考官，答题不知怎样开口？
口语词汇不够，只好暗自痛心疾首？
你缺少的，是系统地开始为口语做准备。
好的开始是成功的一半。前雅思考官告诉你如何迈出第一步！




关于考官Nick

Nick在British Council 工作了10年，是前雅思高级考官，改过无数的雅思考卷，非常清楚考官判分要求。

他有超过二十年的教学经验，去过不同的亚洲国家教英文。他专门教授亚洲人的口语，特别清楚我们学英语的困难和弱点。他此前曾于全球著名的国际学校、顶级大学以及世界五百强的机构教授学生、CEO人数超过十万。他的很多雅思学生也在跟他学习了很短的时间内进步超过一分，有些更是拿了British Council的雅思奖学金出国。



关于the worldpath

theworldpath.com 是香港政府重點支持的網上教學機構，由美國、英國、加拿大、澳洲的雅思前考官組成，在香港多間中學及大學舉辦雅思課程，學生成績優秀，曾經接受過香港多個媒體報導。推薦他們的學生除了有清華北大的，也有香港大學及香港中文大學，更有斯坦福大学、康奈尔大学和伯克利加大的。他們堅持只用接受過嚴格雅思改卷訓練的考官教口語跟寫作，因為他們很清楚考官喜歡怎樣的口語跟寫作，可以幫學生打做一個考官會給高分的exam，但是絕對不用模板。


How to prepare systematically for the speaking test.
There are two sides to preparing for any part of the IELTS test, including speaking.
The first is to practice techniques for answering IELTS exam questions. The most important technique to practice in the speaking test is to connect your ideas and sentences with connecting words to develop your ideas, Short answers like “yes” and “no” are not acceptable. You need to use connecting words to develop longer answers. You can use “for example” as a connecting word like this… “There are many historic buildings and tourist attractions in Beijing. For example, the forbidden city  , the silk market and Tienanmin square.”
Another connecting word is: In addition”  like this… “In addition, there are many famous places outside the city like the great wall.”
Other connecting words you can use are in contrast. As a result. Therefore and many others.

The other aspect of your practice should be improving your general English level as much as you can. First of all, vocabulary. The more vocabulary you have the more you can express yourself well in answering IELTS speaking questions. But don’t just study random vocabulary. Study vocabulary for the usual IELTS topics.  You should study vocabulary about one IELTS topic like technology or education, and so on,  every day if you can.
But even more important than vocabulary, you should study every day to improve your English grammar. This is the main problem for Asian IELTS candidates. This is because the IELTS test is more than a little unfair to Asian students in the aspect of grammar.There are no Asian languages which use plural nouns, verb tenses, or articles  ( like a an the ) while all European languages use these things. It’s definitely an unfair advantage for them but its up to you to overcome the problem by study. In fact in the worldpath online syllabus we teach classes in IELTS vocabulary and grammar for this reason. To help them overcome this disadvantage in grammar. You can study it yourself at home too but you’d better start soon because it takes time to improve grammar levels.
Ok, to summarise all this. You need to study regularly by practicing IELTS speaking techniques with the latest speaking topics, especially focusing on using connecting words to develop longer answers  and to study regularly to improve your general level of English grammar and IELTS-related vocabulary.
