本人工作党，由于工作需要进行雅思考试，读书的时候英语笔试还算可以，因为和大部分中国学生一样，一直对口语方面没有很重视，自己也很少有开口的机会，所以在口语方面基础还是挺一般的。但是要考雅思的话雅思口语还是必须得重视起来的，所以通过朋友的推荐先在口语侠平台试用后立马选定了一个英国外教John在下班后及周末的练习，最后一个月左右雅思口语获得了7.5分的还比较满意的一个成绩。希望我的经验可以给大家带来帮助!
我会分part来讲我是怎么练习以及提高的。·
Part 1：
回答策略：每个问题回答2-3句，不要过分展开，给考官留一个较好的印象即可。
与口语侠外教结合：每次上课前5分钟进行1-2个topic的练习，用作热身，不作为主要练习内容。老师用得好的句子要做笔记。
Part 2：
重头戏，是考官评分的重要考核依据，因此一定要用满2分钟，答案覆盖口语卡内的所有小问题。
与口语侠外教结合：每节课练习1-2个（如果课程超过一小时，可以练习更多），一般提前发要练习的topic给老师，老师分享相关主题的“advanced vocabulary”(具体如下)，提前做好预习，练习时注意记笔记。
Advanced Vocabulary-people
Worth his/her weight in gold –valuable
Down to earth- friendly/ approachable
One in a million- special
Gregarious- outgoing
Upbeat-positive
Fun-loving- a fun person
Easy-going- relaxed
Heart of gold- kind
A go-getter- successful
He/she means the world to me- I love him/her.
Charismatic- a charming personality
Affable- friendly
Affectionate- loving
回答策略：
按照John总结的模板回答，同时注意合理地运用一些词汇。举例说明：
人物类答题结构：
Who?
模板句： My best friend(如果是其他关系，也可以调整) somebody is worth his weight in gold.
或My friend XX has extraordinary leadership. (适用于2020Q4新题：描述一个有领导力的人。)
Topic title: He/she is…
When did you meet: We first crossed paths in high school… or We crossed path on my first day at my current company.
How did you meet: we were desk mates. I broke the ice..
Did you like each other: We hit it off from get-go.
Examples of …in the past: she showed me loads of examples of her…
Examples of …these days: these days…
General opinion: General speaking, I think…
实战：
Describe a person that you glad to know.
Who this person is?
How you met this person?
What this person is like?
And explain why you are glad to know him?
参考答案（括号内是模板的应用）：
My supervisor Charles is worth his weight in gold. （who?）We first crossed pathsa number of years ago when I first joined the company. (how you met? & when you met?) So right from the get-go, he took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. He told me what was expected of me and he also introduced me to other colleagues so that I can immediately familiarize with the surroundings.(Did you like each other.) And to be honest, I took a real shine to him and over the kind of weeks, months and even years, we actually became friends. So, we used to hang out after work, sometimes, we went to restaurant or we watched a football game together. (Examples of …in the past) Of course, these days, I still know him and due to the coronavirus, we both really on the go. We do not have much opportunity to hang out as much as it is used to be.（Examples of …these days） But he hasn’t changed a bit. In work, his door is still always open. Whenever we have any issues, and I feel that I can trust him because he can drive the company forward and also assist me when I have any positions in my job. The great thing about him is that I feel I can be myself around him. His down to earth nature means that I can just talk to him about whatever I want to. So, all in all, I think Charles is one in a million and I hope that he continues to be my boss for a long time to come. （General opinion）
结构：从上述答案可以看出结构上虽有微调，但是基本按照老师建议的“架构”回答。
词汇：右下划线的是“advanced vocabulary”，有部分是从其他topic相关的“词伙”里挑出的，关于people的词汇也用了one in a million和 worth his weight in gold等。
语法：在老师的帮助下已消除了语法错误。
流畅性：整体流畅，从他是谁，如何认识，之前如何相处，现在如何互动，我对此人的评价等按照时间顺序描述，符合逻辑。
因此其他topic也按照这种练习模式以及课后重复练习必将考到口语7分。
Part 3
答题思路：4-6句，尽可能地全方位地给出答案。
类型一：
你的观点（example）
原因（Reason）
例子（Example）
从另外一面反面回答（Opposite answer）
类型二：对比
年轻人/老人
男人/女人
过去/现在
…
类型三：扩展
附带影响是什么？
个人观点是什么？
解决方案是什么？
谁会反对等…
不需要提供结论（John强调）
尽量从不同角度给出答案
做好被打断的准备，按照考官的补充问题回答。
示例：
中立观点：I think both important.
分类讨论：we have some students who are not academic good, but they might be talented inother areas such as sports. So just because the kid is not good in subjects does not mean that the kid is not good in other areas
你的观点：Any child should be recognized for what they do whether it is sport/ Chinese/ English. It does not matter.
结论：Anything good should be rewarded in that way.
其他补充：
听力：做精听，做听写，按照吞音/发音/生词的方法总结句子。
复习807单词，确保所有单词都可以在听写的情况下写出，且知道中文意思。
总而言之，我个人认为想要在雅思口语上得到提升并非一朝一夕的事情，找对方法找到专业的人来帮助你并坚持下去就肯定会“屠鸭”成功的！毕竟我就是一个例子！
