【雅思考試】雅思口說如何高分？必備萬用句與高級片語指南！

在IELTS雅思考試的四個測驗項目中，口說測驗的時間最短(約11-14分鐘)，題數最少，考古題看起來也不難，可是許多學員在準備時，卻經常不知道該如何開始回答，或者如何延伸想法，讓答案更長與更有深度。當然雅思口說考試涵蓋多種主題，考生想拿高分的話，最好的方法就是廣泛接觸不同領域，充實知識素養與增進相關主題字彙。然而，除了各主題字彙之外，是不是也有一些好用的萬用句，可以幫助學員用來談論各個領域呢？

我們在這篇文章裡，整理了一些好用的句子，可以幫助學員在雅思口說考試中更容易開口，以及組織或銜接自己的想法，讓自己的答案聽起來更自然流暢。如果你正在準備雅思口說考試，相信會很有幫助。

第一部份：簡介以及問答(Introduction and Interview)

考官會問考生一些生活常見的主題，例如家人、工作、興趣或者習慣。這部份的重點在於「考生本身」，所以考生回答題目時，需要利用自己的資訊與經驗。一些好用的句子分類如下：

答案開頭
actually / well / I guess / I think

說明喜好或偏好
•Generally, I prefer X to Y.
•I don't really like / I'm not really fond of …
•I love / I can't stand …

說明細節延伸答案
specifically / particularly / especially / in fact

連結句子
because / so / and / but / or ...

讓我們用以下的例題來看這些句子如何運用在答案中，粗體字部分是上面提到的句子：

題目：What do you like to do in your free time?
範例答案：Actually, a lot of things. I think I'm someone who likes variety in everyday life, so I just go out, check out a new place, try different activities or just see my friends. In fact, I try to keep busy on my days off and so very rarely stay at home.

除了粗體字的部分外，學員在說話時可以運用這些高分訣竅：

1. 答案切題與直接

：第一部分答案不用太長，所以考生開門見山即可(Actually, a lot of things.)。

2. 解釋或說明理由

：簡單說明前面的答案(I think I'm someone who likes variety in everyday life)。

3. 提供例子

：使用具體例子做進一步延伸(so I just go out, check out a new place, try different activities or just see my friends. In fact, I try to keep busy on my days off and so very rarely stay at home.)。

讓我們再看另一個例題：

題目：Do you prefer to read e-books or paper books?
範例答案：Generally, I prefer physical or hard copies because I like the feel of the book being in my hand. This is especially because I use my phone daily for a lot of things, I would like to change up my routine every once in a while. So a hard copy would feel like it's a welcome change from my daily routine.

我們可以看到，範例答案除了使用具體的主題字彙外，粗體字也恰當地銜接不同的概念，所以考生從直接答覆到解釋與進一步延伸，文字看起來都很自然流暢，是一個適當的答覆。

第二部份：個人陳述(Individual long term)

考官會給考生一張題目卡。考生有1分鐘時間準備，然後針對題目卡的題目，進行最多2分鐘的演說。第二部分的題目，也跟「考生本身」的生活經歷有關，不過需要考生進行長達2分鐘的陳述。

讓我們看以下的例題：

Describe a sporting event that you have been to.
You should say:

what it was
why you went there
what you saw exactly

and explain why you enjoyed or didn't enjoy it.

考生有一分鐘的時間可以準備。許多考生在準備的時間內想出很多豐富的想法，可是開始演說時，卻因為不知如何開場，導致之後的答案說得很結巴。因此，學員可以事先熟悉以下的開場句型。一旦開場順暢，學員就可以放鬆一點，也就比較容易講出準備的內容了。

開場句子
• OK then, I want to talk about …
• Let me see, I'd like to talk about …
•OK, I'm going to tell you about …
• Right, I'd like to tell you about …

此外，第二部分的題目經常需要考生描述一段個人經驗，然後解釋對這段經驗的感覺或看法。所以考生除了需要能根據主題，快速想出相關的字彙外，考生也需要熟悉「解釋」的句型：

解釋想法
• The reason (I don't like) … is that …
•One of the reasons is that …
• What I like/dislike … is …
• … because …

讓我們看以下的範例答案。粗體字部分是上面提到的句子：

OK, let's see. I want to tell you about the time I went to see my boyfriend take part in a swimming competition. It was part of a charity event – you know, making money for good causes. Anyway, why did I go? Well, I wanted to support him, to shout and cheer: it was his first big competition, and he was feeling a little bit, er … nervous. So, it was the first time I had been to such an event. I had seen it on TV before of course, but when I saw it in real life it was very exciting indeed! I saw many different styles – freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly. It was fantastic, you know? My boyfriend was in the breaststroke competition and the freestyle. He was very slow in the freestyle, but he won the breaststroke competition! I enjoyed the event a lot because it was very exciting and I felt very proud of my boyfriend.

第三部份：雙向討論(Two-way discussion)

考官和考生將針對第二部分的話題進行討論。考官的問題會更廣泛和抽象。第三部分的重點，是要評估考生能否論述自己想法，並且展現分析與深入思考問題的能力。典型的第三部分題目如下：

Do you think that schools should use more technology to help children learn?
Some people say that people helped others more in the past than they do now. Do you agree or disagree?
How do you think the family will change in the future?

我們可以看到，第三部分的題目涵蓋許多類型。有時學員要針對一個議題提出我們自己的意見，有時學員需要同意或不同意別人的看法，有時學員則需要提出對未來的預期。一些有用的句子分類如下：

發表個人意見

• In my opinion ...
•Personally, I think ...
• I strongly believe that ...

同意/不同意

• I tend to agree ...
• I don't really agree / think that ...
• I completely agree / disagree that ...
• I'm not sure about that ...

預期未來

• may / maybe / perhaps
• It's likely / possible that ...

此外，第三部分的題目，需要考生在聽到題目之後馬上作答。如果萬一考生腦袋打結，一時沒有想法的話，可能要想辦法拖延爭取一點時間。學員可以這樣說：

爭取時間

•That's an interesting question. I haven't thought about that before.
• Mmm, let me think about that for a moment.

讓我們看以下的範例答案。粗體字部分是上面提到的句子：

問題：Do you think that schools should use more technology to help children learn?
範例答案：Yes, definitely. I think there are many benefits of using technology in the classroom. When technology is integrated into lessons, students are generally more interested in the subjects they are studying. This is because technology provides different opportunities to make learning more enjoyable in terms of teaching the same things in new ways, such as taking students on virtual field trips and using online learning resources. What is more, technology can encourage more active participation in the learning process, which in my opinion is very hard to achieve through a traditional lecture environment. For example, my cousin's class used online games to get students to solve math problems and develop their analytical skills. My cousin said the games were fun and everyone was actively engaged.

問題：Some people say that people helped others more in the past than they do now. Do you agree or disagree?
範例答案：Well, I tend to disagree. When it comes to my parents' generation I think they are quite skeptical about helping other people in the community, but my generation is regularly doing things to improve it, such as volunteering for various environmental and charitable organizations. Today, young people are actively encouraged to help out in the community, and I don't think this happened very often in the past.

問題：How do you think the family will change in the future?
範例答案：That's an interesting question. I haven't thought about that before. But, well, in the future, I think families will continue to become smaller, and more people may choose to live independently. And, with technological advancements, virtual communication perhaps will replace traditional family gatherings to some extent. Additionally, the concept of family will probably become more flexible, and most people will likely have an open attitude toward ideas like single-parent families, same-sex couples raising children, or even friends living together as a form of chosen family. However, despite these changes, I believe emotional connections and the need for family support will always remain essential in people's lives.
