说明:雅思口语话题频繁涉及遥,地点,物品,事件四大类,上表中的原句是在回答此类问题时多数考生遥的句型。 其遥是过于简短,一不能体现语法优势,二不能凑字数争取时间。 而套用句型后的表达遥就遥不一样了。 可见,定语从句的遥在口语中可以起到包装作用。
二、 名词遥从句经典系列
①The reason why I is that +从句
②The most important thing is that+从句
③Another thing is that+从句
④What I mean is that + 从句
⑤What Id like to say is that +从句
以上名词遥从句①到③是引出个人观点或信息时的过渡句型,在口语表达中可以起到建构框架,使条理清晰层次分明的作用。 而④和⑤则是用于进一步解释说明。 套用实例:
The reason why I admire Yaoming is that he is a legend and also a great guy. The most important thing is that he is one of Chinas most recognizable athletes. What I mean is, his image can be seen everywhere, he is a household name. Another thing is that Yao has also participated in many charity events during his career. What Id like to say is that he not only donated money to relief work, but also created a foundation to help those in need.
三、 状语从句经典系列
①I first got to know him/it when + 从句
② have since +从句
③If I had the chance, I would like to
④If , then it is quite possible that I will
以上句型只需稍加变动,便可应用于多种话题。 句型之间的有机组合还可成为遥,碰到没话说的时候十分顶用。
句型①套用实例:
I first got to know him when I was studying in primary school.
I first read the story/saw the programme when I was visiting my grandparents three years ago.
I first learned how to skate/play basketball when I was in high school.
句型②套用实例:
We have lost contact since he moved out of town.
I have stopped watching the programme since I entered the university where TV was not available.
I have been practicing basketball on a regular basis ever since I knew how to play it.
句型③是虚拟语气,表达一种设想。 当问题为would you like to时,建议遥该句型。 另外,还可以在无话可说时用来应急。 套用句型:
If I had the chance, I would like to travel to California and visit my best friend who I havent seen for ages.
If I had the chance, I would like to ask Yaoming to autograph my basketball.
句型④是在分情况讨论问题时必备句型,也是丰富回答内容的经典招数。 套用实例:
Q: What do you usually do at weekends?
A: Well, its hard to say. I mean, if I am with friends, then its quite possible that we will go window shopping or traveling around. But if I am alone, its more likely that I will just stay at home and do some washing and cleaning.
当然,以上两种情境还可以变换成多种可能,如按天气状况分为If it is good weather, 和If it is bad weather; 按时间多少分为If Ive got a lot of time,和If I am fairly busy; 等等。
综上,三大英语从句在口语中的适量遥可以起到意想不到的遥,既在语法这一评分标准上赢得了优势,又可以帮助摆脱考场上无话可说的尴尬。 只要肯花功夫和时间记忆以上一些经典句型并加以巩固练习,相信必定会在雅思口语单项方面有所提高。
