美国2016年总统选举党内预选竞争进入白热化阶段。共和党的特朗普与民主党的希拉里再次以势不可挡的气势一马当先。据调查研究,特朗普的语言是他取胜的关键。烤鸭们,在雅思口语考试中,你要如何打动考官,让他/她给你打出7分以上的高分呢?墨尔本文波雅思PTE今天告诉大家一些口语考试小窍门。
Donald Trump’s language could win him the presidency(总统的职位): Candidates that use emotional words get more votes.
首先,你要多使用emotional words,就是表示喜怒哀乐情感的一些形容词。比如说你的emotional state是angry,你可以说irritated(恼怒的)/ hostile(怀有敌意的)/ insulting(侮辱的)/ annoyed(烦闷的)/ provoked(被激怒的),小编建议在说的同时,配合上相应的facial expression和body language,让你的感情表露的更真实。

第二个告诉你每个单词的含义是什么,表示怎样的情感状态,到底是有点生气angry,还是灰常生气furious。
Trump’s speech is appealing because it contrasts with rehearsed style of other candidates.
Trump的演讲之所以吸引人是因为它并不像其他候选人那样有排练过的痕迹。这也是和雅思口语考试要求一致的,如果你是在背诵,考官很容易发现。退一万步讲,就算你要背,也要背的像你在讲述一样,请配合肢体语言,不然被发现,会shi的很惨。
Previous research has found that the way ‘The Donald’ speaks mirrors the average conversation – which makes supporters believe he is an honest outsider.
The average conversation指的是a person speaks in a normal pace not too fast and not too slow. 就是说你讲话的语速很重要,不要太快,也不要太慢。这样在对方看来你就是可信的,不是一个liar。
Trump’s language style has made him standout (杰出的)among the competition and has wooed(招致) many voters into supporting his campaign. ‘His conversational style contributes to his overall image as a political outsider and as an ‘authentic’ candidate, which is an important quality to American voters.’
