我是如何帮助学生提升口语内容的

在雅思和托福这种有口语的教学中，提升口语都是非常重要的。一方面是由于我们中国学生大部分都是哑巴口语，总是讲不出，另一方面，很多同学并不知道什么样的口语内容是合格的内容。今天，我不谈如何提升综合口语能力，只谈谈我是如何帮助自己的学生来提升口语内容的（以雅思part2为例）。

首先，要明确标准，什么事一篇好的part2。结合我们评分标准，一篇好的口语材料当然要有好的连贯和衔接，有一些非常见词汇，有相对丰富的语法结构。（这里因为我们只谈内容，所以不谈流利度的问题，流利度其实才是口语的首要评分标准）。

而且，还要注意一点，你的口语材料不一定要真实，但一定要是原创，你可以想象考官听到一个你随便从网上扒下来，他/她一天听了好多遍的材料的内心感受。

接下来，我给你看看，我怎么提升学生口语的内容。

这一篇是Describe a noisy place you have been to.

这是学生之前的版本：
An especially noisy place that I visited recently was the restaurant where my cousin held wedding.
Last years I was invited to my cousin’s wedding. In China, there are different wedding customs in different place. In our city, groom, bride and their parents will invite their own friends, kinsmen to join this celebrate to congratulate this news couple. This celebration is more like a banquet, you know just people sitting around the tables and feasting. Some distant relatives do not matter how the groom and bride look. They just talk about the taste of food. Just imaging that hundreds of people sitting in a no more than 300 square meter’s restaurant and people talk about their own business. Moreover, before the banquet, there will be some special parts. First, they will place a large loudspeaker and play the pop music of marriage theme loudly, like they want the world know that they are getting marriage. After that, they will be a wedding MC to ask some embarrassing questions to the new couple. Hundreds of people talking, loud music and laughing from MC, there will be the noisiest place that I ever been to. I prefer quiet, so I feel anxious about this ceremony. But I still happy for my cousin, since she find her true love.

看似是没啥问题哈？

但是你注意，抛开别的不谈，首先我们看看主题，是一个吵闹的地方啊！
然而，这篇part2的稿子里面，几乎没有出现吵闹的形容！因此在内容上，就是不合格的！而且这么长的东西里面，居然没有太多固定搭配，也没有一个idiom！
所以，在完全不改变他的内容的情况下，我给他改成了下面这个版本：
An especially noisy place that I visited recently was the restaurant where my cousin held wedding.
Last years I was invited to my cousin’s wedding. In China, there are various wedding customs in different place. In our city, groom, bride and their parents will invite their own friends, relatives to join this celebration to congratulate the newlyweds. This celebration is more like a grand banquet, you know just people sitting around the tables and feasting. However, some distant relatives seem uninterested in the couple and instead talked about the food loudly.（第一次提到吵闹） Just imaging that hundreds of people crammed into（固定搭配，挤进） a restaurant that no more than 300 square meters where everyone talks about their affairs with high-pitched voice（再次提到吵闹，高音调）, which just raised the roof（几乎掀翻房顶，再次形容吵闹）. Moreover, before the banquet, there will be some special events. First, a large loudspeaker is placed at the front and the ear-splitting（非常好的形容词，形容声音撕裂耳朵） pop music related to marriage played, like they want the world know that they are getting marriage. After that, a wedding MC asked some embarrassing questions to the new couple which brought about raucous（吵闹） laughter from crowed. Hundreds of people chatting, loud music and laughing from MC, it is the noisiest place that I ever been to ，noise as a hornet’s nest.（像蜂巢一样吵闹，形容忙乱和吵闹非常贴切） Personally, I prefer quiet environment, so I feel anxious about this ceremony. But I still happy for my cousin, as she finds her true love. And this occasion maybe the noise pollution （再次点题，小升华）that I am willing to accept.



所以，我的学生为什么能够在口语中考出6.5分以上的分数，除了我会强制要求他们每天发录音和听录音反馈纠错之外，还有就是他们的内容都是原创，且是经过我修改调教后的原创，绝对不会撞车，且充实又生动。（当然我也失去了游戏和休息时间）最后，在考前，还会给他们最拟真地进行模考。
所谓功不唐捐。像各位也能在提升口语流利度之余，打磨自己的内容。
