雅思口语中的同义词替换都有哪些要注意的呢?其实在雅思口语中一个重要的技巧是释义,即用不同的词来表示同一个意思。在回答的时候,通过对问题的释义,就能够获得词汇分。举一个简单的例子来解释,“Do you like animals?” 若我们的回答是, “Yes, I do.”那么我们只是简单回答了问题本身,而未能在词汇上有突破;若我们的回答是, “Yes, I like all kinds of creatures.” 回答依然简单,但是由于我们改变了词语,我们就得到了词汇分,当然若要分数更好些,我们需要对回答进行补充,这样才能做到尽善尽美。下面我们就雅思口语的三个部分列举例子一一阐述paraphrasing在释义问题上的运用。

第一部分和第三部分释义问题的例子 (请关注黑体部分):
Example 1:
Q: Are names important?
A1: Yes, I think they’re significant.
A2: Yes, Chinese people attach a lot of importance to their names.
Example 2:
Q: What kind of sports do people like?
A1: Well, there are a great number of recreational activities that people enjoy.
A2: Well, there are a wide range of physical activities that people enjoy.
Example 3:
Q:What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a retired person at home?
该问句在回答时advantages可替换成 benefits, positives aspects, pluses, pros, good things等;disadvantages可替换成drawbacks, demerits, negatives, negative aspects, minus sides, cons,downsides等。
Example 4:
Q: Are there any problems?
A1: Yes, there are many concerns.
A2: Yes, there are many issues.
Example 5:
Q: Are there many differences?
A: Yes, there are many distinctions.
我们在回答Part One 和Part Three问题的时候,要提醒自己对问题中的个别词进行替换。
当然不单单是第一部分和第三部分这样,我们在第二部分也要试着对题目进行释义。笔者认为在第二部分可以通过paraphrasing来达到效果。下面举一个例子来解释释义如何使用。
在2013年第一季度,我们有个高频考题 Describe something you bought but dissatisfied.
