恰当地使用语篇标记是雅思口语流利和连贯评分项的要求之一。无论目标是5、6、7,都应注意在日常练习中灵活地使用语篇标记,提升FC表现。
在回答P1和P3问题时,考生应能够使语篇标记来体现英语口语表达的流利和连贯程度。语篇标记(discourse markers/signposts)在对话中的作用是让听者更容易了解说者的态度或观点变化。很多考生已经掌握了一些常用的语篇标记,如in my opinion, finally, next,但要取得更高的分数,不要每个回答都用同样的连接词或语篇标记开头(如Well),考官需要看到多样性,考生应尝试使用以下非常用语篇标记:
组长补充:结合例句理解语篇标记词表达的态度(适用情况)。
语篇标记应用举例:
Q:Does your name have a special meaning?
A:Well actually, it does. Jamila is an Arabic word which means beautiful woman
Q:Do you like your hometown?
A:Certainly! I love Huddersfield; it’s one of the best towns in the world!
组长补充:用certainly替代yes.
Q:What are some places of interest in your town?
A:To tell you the truth, my home town is quite small, as compared to other cities. There’re not many things to do or see there. I must admit, there is only one museum in the entire city.
组长补充:灵活使用语篇标记会让回答显得更自然,也能为自己思考拓展回答争取时间。
学习建议:在日常学习和生活中练习使用以上语篇标记,比如在购物时可以说:Can I have the red one please? No actually, to tell you the truth, I want the blue one. 这样逐渐就能更自然熟练地在考试中运用它们。
