雅思備考：如何與老外對話
1.敢於提出自己的真實觀點
我發現一個很有意思的情形：一箇中國人一個外國人走在一起，不管外國人說什麼中國人都當成至理名言一般“認真傾聽”，對話中用的最多的就是“Yes/je”這個詞，與其說是附和，不如說是一種逃避，逃避着用英語發表自己見解所可能造成的語無倫次。
我建議大家一定要放下包袱，敢於在老外面前“嚴肅”地用英語提出自己獨到的觀點和見解，同時“逼”着自己找出兩條以上的理由來支撐。如果覺得說的不好，也不用着急，回去慢慢想，再說一遍，爭取下次說好就可以了。交談話題可以涉及方方面面。另外千萬不要害怕對方向你問“why”，正是通過這個過程，具體說理和細節展開能力纔會得到提高。
2.需要學習地道的語音語調，節奏停頓
在日常會話中我們發現外國人的表達其實並不複雜，但聽着卻顯得層次分明，原因便在於他們作爲native speaker地道的語音和自然的節奏停頓。我們總是習慣於將中文語境下的停頓遷移到英語中，但真正能夠說好英語，需要的是英語語境下的恰當停頓，這點是我們最需要模仿和學習的。
3.調整價值觀：也談如何面對外國人
很多同學在面對雅思考官時的緊張，除卻主觀的語言障礙和心理因素之外，與外國人之間一種莫名的“隔膜”，也是我們無法放開的原因。
我發現周圍很多朋友面對外國人，依舊是以一種“景仰”的姿態把他們視作“賓客”，說起話來小心翼翼，即使開個玩笑也顯得僵硬死板。我們大可不必如此，完全可以把與他們的對話視作平凡生活中的一部分，把他們當作普通人，隨意聊，不想睬他們就把他們晾在一邊，總之不要客套。
另外，與一個外國人一起說話，也不是什麼值得炫耀虛榮的事情，是時候放下一些固有的價值觀和偏見，這樣才能真正覺得放鬆隨意。只有平凡普通，而不是故作輕鬆的氛圍下，才能讓自己安安心心的交流和說話。我相信除卻勤奮艱苦的語言訓練，面對外國人真正發自內心的“放鬆與平等”，同樣能夠間接提高你說英語口語時的自信和流利度。
雅思口語中的閱讀背景資料
IELTS: Reading without Speaking?
Numerous IELTS programs that are offered through out Asia and most often in China are divided into four major areas which mirror the actual IELTS examination: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. In most cases these classes use different teachers and certainly different text books for each module. The majority of programs use brute memorization to prepare for the exam. The classes are structured to utilize the students past educational processes i.e. memorize or fail, to “teach” the students. The words are more important than the method. As in the traditional Chinese educational system the student’s capacity for memorization is challenged. The result rather than the method are stressed. The exam becomes the reward, not the knowledge that should be gained from the class.
So here rises the problem. Can the reading module portion of the IELTS exam be taught independently from the speaking part? There are pros and cons to this question. Do we as westerners teach reading to our children with speaking to them? The answer is obvious NO!! So why should we as educators teach the youth of China or for that matter the world, how to pass a reading exam without saying a single spoken word. Sounds rather stupid doesn’t it. But in fact many western educators are expected to teach their class to pass a test in reading sans oral interaction. The spoken word is over looked in favor of the written word. Read and recite. Read and repeat. Read and NEVER read and tell me what you think about what you read. Never read and let’s discuss. Never read and give me your opinion. WHY? Is the examination overshadowing the learning process? Simply “YES”.
From day one of a prototypical IELTS reading class, the students are given outdated textbooks that are aimed at educating a non-native speaker how to read, and understand a text that has little or no relevance to real life or real life experiences. Again the student is “taught” to read and understand some texts that a native speaker may have difficulty in understand, not because of the complexity, but because, let’s face it, it’s boring and does not relate to anything we can talk about. I am a great sports fan. I enjoy reading about all sports International football, F1 racing or track and field. That inrestes me. So why don’t we find things for the students that interests them and then TALK about them before trying to answer the questions about the article. Stress the understanding of what the article is saying and talk about it. NOT read and answer. TALK about it. Maybe the student’s grammar is poor, maybe their pronunciation is poor, but still let’s talk about what we just read. Certainly we can not please every student, but articles from the local English language newspaper will initially suffice, if there is no newspaper, then the WWW. Any news site will give the student more reading material than they will ever need to know. Day to day news will not only teach a student how to read, it will educate them in relevant topics they can discuss. It may be the weather, a major news story, or some very simple 2 paragraph item about a “talking dog”. It may sound stupid, but current events will further discussions. AND discussions will improve both understanding and communication skills....
