我在泰國考雅思，一個月口語從5.5到7.5
泰國考雅思是怎麼樣的經歷，會提高分數嗎?下面我們就來看看考生分享的經歷吧!
我在泰國考雅思，一個月口語從5.5到7.5
和雅思糾纏了無數個日夜，經歷過失敗與痛苦，聽說國外考雅思口語和寫作會比國內給分更高一點~所以決定出國考雅思!
看來看去感覺東南亞地區相對來說性價比最高，之前也沒去泰國玩過，所以最後決定就泰國啦!
報名的話我當時在某寶找的代報名，會收取一點手續費，接着就是選考場和考位。我是在曼谷考的，聽說清邁也還可以。
曼谷的考場是設置在酒店裏，整體考試體驗炒雞好~環境也很好，沒有國內那種在學校考試的緊張感，心態好然後成績也就能跟着upupup!
另外~我遇到的考官非常nice，這對於口語考試來說非常重要~全程笑眯眯，讓人心裏也暖暖的。
其實我口語能考7.5，我本人也非常震驚!因爲我Part3說的時候有一點點重複和卡頓，但是把自己想要表達的內容都有完整講述出來。本來想着可能也就是拿到6.5，最後竟然拿到7.5，開心到模糊!
接下來大概分享一下我的口語備考經驗~
我覺得對我來說題庫和口語陪練是兩大提分法寶!
先說題庫，這是一份非常寶貴的複習資料。對着題庫展開的問題，自己準備話題。一定要把自己的答案寫出來，一個詞一個詞的寫出來。
這個過程我個人覺得非常重要，一方面能夠保證自己不出現一些低級錯誤，同時也能讓自己的答案更加的思路清晰，邏輯明瞭。
然後就對自己的答案進行分類歸納，比如這些話題都可以歸類到日常生活、興趣愛好、學習工作等不同的大類。
因爲題目很多，抽到原題的可能非常小，所以就根據話題的分類，考試的時候也能觸類旁通，總能扯到自己準備的話題上~
這也算是一個口語準備的小技巧小捷徑吧~
然後就是找口語陪練，想必很多同學都知道找口語陪練的重要性。但是有時候因爲外教水平良莠不齊，所以有時候有的同學會覺得找外教陪練沒什麼用，就是閒聊天!
我之前在某寶買過外教口語陪練的課程，但是體驗確實很一般，就像是簡單陪聊。對我雅思口語考試的幫助並不是很大，反而覺得費時費力還費錢。
後來輾轉在雅思哥報了口語陪練課程，老師比較認真負責，完全依照口語評分標準進行打分與分析，這樣就知道自己下一步努力的目標在哪裏。
我當時一個月基本每隔兩天都找外教老師進行練習，每天也確實都有提高和收穫。開始我是因爲語速快，一些小細節注意不到，還有時態問題會忽略掉。
後面的練習就刻意讓語速變平緩，然後寫問題答案的時候注意到時態，進行及時的改正，不讓自己一錯再錯~
說了這麼多，最後就祝大家屠鴨順利吧!就我個人而言，出國考雅思，不虧!口語找陪練，真棒!
泰國雅思能提分?是忽悠人還是實錘?
舟車勞頓、水土不服可能會影響你的考試狀態
泰國地處熱帶，絕大部分地區屬熱帶季風氣候，終年炎熱，全年溫差不大，可謂四季如夏。特別是每年3月至5月的“熱季”，月平均氣溫更是高達32-38℃。很多考生都反映，去泰國考試在室外熱到虛脫，進了考場卻冷到手顫抖(泰國大部分酒店、商城冷氣都開的很足)。
另外，泰國飲食文化雖值得體驗，各種泰國料理如冬陰功、咖喱蟹、芒果香飯等種類很多，但吃得太雜容易引發腸胃問題;泰國人的主食多爲各種糯米飯，但吃慣米飯和麪食的我們，吃多了糯米飯特別容易消化不良。水果品種也多，價格也很便宜，但是千萬別貪多，攝入太多高糖偏涼的水果小心腸胃不適。總的來說，泰國的氣候和飲食文化與國內的差異還是很大的，很多考生往往不太適應，再加上舟車勞頓，可能會出現水土不服從而影響到考試的狀況。
我有一名學生，我對他印象特別深刻，因爲這個學生學英語特別認真，但是在聽力和口語兩個單項上的提升很困難。在選擇雅思考試地點這件事上他曾問過我意見，雖然我一再和他說去哪兒考都差不多，以他的成績只要正常發揮，考到7分沒問題。但他最後還是選擇去泰國曼谷考。沒想到在泰國卻因爲水土不服一直拉肚子，最後影響到了考試狀態，四個多月的努力付諸東流。“泰國雅思考場環境與國內的考場環境並無差別，但如果再選擇一次，我一定會在國內考，水土不服，一個人在外備考，身體出現狀況，真的很無助。”經過這次泰國考試之旅，再有想要去泰國考試的同學問他意見，他都會如此建議。那麼我在這裏也要建議考鴨們：除了考試本身，外部環境因素也會對考試狀態產生影響，這一點在選擇出國考試的時候，一定要綜合考慮到。
二、官方反擊模板，無論在哪考，背誦痕跡明顯都易遭Pass
“刷機經背模板””在大陸考鴨圈中已經成爲了一種普遍現象，近年來中國考生“席捲”的東南亞各大雅思考場，東南亞考官也一樣熟悉中國考生的“套路”，要知道，即便有幾個人能吃上模板的“螃蟹”，十幾個之後就會被考官發現。我可以很負責任地告訴你，沒有新的表達和得分點，分數出來照樣不高。其實背誦和模仿是語言學習過程中的必要環節，但不能只停留在背誦和模仿階段，學以致用、靈活應變纔是最終目的。
在我的學生中，今年依舊有一部分人選擇去泰國考雅思，在口語考試中，因爲套用模板吃了虧的大有人在，張麗就是個典型的例子。去泰國考雅思，她的口語成績依然是6。以前在國內考雅思，她的口語成績就一直不理想，我幫她分析過，她的主要問題不在於發音，而在於不自然，背誦準備痕跡太重，交流感不強。當時她可能有點不以爲然，不過這次泰國考雅思回來她態度有了很大的轉變。據她回憶，這次泰國雅思口語考的是describe a place that has been polluted，她就是按照自己準備的素材講的，自認爲可能得高分的描述段落背得滾瓜爛熟。但第三部分考官似乎特意問了幾個特別發散的問題，她幾乎都答不上來，事後她分析，認爲考官是發現她背模板了，所以第三部分特意問了又新又難的問題
影響考試成績的因素雖多，但自身實力是第一影響要素
“你爲什麼會認爲去國外考雅思會得更高的分?”面對這個問題，很多國內考鴨給出的答案是我聽某某老師說，我聽某某同學分享...其實培訓學校組織國外雅思考試考團很大一部分是受到利益驅使，鼓吹的成分較大;即使身邊真有某位同學去國外考雅思提了分的案例，我們也要多角度分析，畢竟影響考試成績的因素有很多。比如爲了應付這次考試進行了“頭懸樑，錐刺股”式的備考;再比如，考生認爲自己在寫作、聽力以及閱讀考試中表現良好，那麼在口語考試中，他會更加自信，表現更加自然;而如果在上午的考試中自我感覺不佳，這可能會影響在口語考試中的表現，從而影響成績
其實，真正能影響到考生分數的，不是不同國家與地區的考場、考官，而是考生本人的硬實力!
很多考生想通過換個地方，投機取巧得高分，而不是實實在在地提升自己的實力，最後結果十有八九不盡人意。一直爲移民做準備的莫蘇，雅思考試一直通不過，4月份在朋友的建議下遠赴泰國考試，最後口語得分和總分與國內比並無差別。她說：“我的同伴和我的口語都得了5.5，我在國內考試，口語也是可以拿到5.5到6.0的，所以並不覺得來泰國考試有什麼優勢。不過作文倒是首次拿到6.0，比之前提高了0.5，但是在此之前，我在作文方面做了很多的準備。“
再有同學來問莫蘇去泰國考雅思是否有優勢，莫蘇都會答到：別人去泰國考試有沒有提分我不知道，但是這次我去泰國考試，並有得到什麼“特別”的福利，沒有感覺到去泰國考雅思像培訓學校和網絡上說的那麼神乎其神。
四、放棄投機取巧，專心備考纔是王道
雅思是國外院校敲門磚，是大家走出國門實現留學夢想的一道門檻，但是以後無論是留學還是移民，更多的是需要考生們融會貫通，靈活運用。去泰國考雅思會更加容易，分數更高?由上述幾點可以看出這是不確定性事件，“泰國雅思能提分”並無實錘!相反，在國內考雅思與在泰國考雅思，別無二致。與其舟車勞頓，浪費時間和精力去準備出國考試事宜，不如放下雜念，融會貫通，提升自己的硬實力再戰雅思!
雅思口語高頻：Reading and children
Reading and children
What kinds of book are most popular with children in your country? Why do you think that is?
I think the most popular kind of books with children in China is comics. Statistics and my person experience with children bring me to this conclusion. First of all, if you bother to check the top sellers in terms of books, you will find comics for children permanent residents in those lists. As a comparison, those books telling fairytales and legends seem a little weak in terms of effect on children. Also, whenever I find some children gazing at their smart phone or tablets or reading a paper back book, they are mostly reading comics. It has become a great challenge to find kids focusing on words instead of pictures. Based on these two evidences, I believe comics are most children’s favorite in China.
Why do you think some children do not read books very often?
Well, for this issue, I think the shift of lifestyle is first and foremost to blame. In the online era, we, no matter adults or children have tens of alternatives to do in our spare time and reading a book is one of the most attention-intense among them. Why not go surf the Internet using your smart phone or tablet for some easy-to-understand stuff with beautiful pictures explaining everything to you, or some other rich media requiring no literacy. We grownups still struggle to escape from such grasp, needless to say the children.
How do you think children can be encouraged to read more?
Before we dive into the question, I think I need to make it clear that the children today have been reading far more than we expect. Read Weibo posts, WeChat messages, endless news feeds and many other kinds of media. They are avid readers that older people cannot match with. What grownups are trying to do in this scenario is to shift their focus of reading from those “light” material back to some old-school, serious and provoking thoughts created by real thinkers. Upon this problem I hold a pessimistic opinion. What we can hope for is nothing but luck which can bring a few on them to what grownups want them to read.
Reading for different purposes
Are there any occasions when reading at speed is a useful skill to have? What are they?
Yes indeed. Based on my own experience as a university student, reading at speed can save me from piles of papers to finish before a near deadline. Suppose a student needs to finish reading three or even more papers of more than one hundred pages and write a report about the issue discussed in them, and even worse, the deadline is two days from now. In this case, reading at speed is quite comforting. Another occasion where reading at speed is extremely helpful is to do a presentation about an unfamiliar topic in a short time. If the presenter can read fast enough and memorize what he or she has read about, the presentation can be fully equipped with knowledge though it may be not logically organized in some ways, but at least the audience can have something to digest. This looks very much like a cheat but turns out to be useful.
Are there any jobs where people need to read a lot? What are they?
Yes, definitely. For instance, journalist, novelist or any other kinds of jobs involving writing requires a great amount of reading. These jobs are basically about output, which means to take in information and process it into different forms for more people’s better understanding of the issue. In this situation, reading as a crucial source of gathering information is indispensable. Without adequate input, the output will be dry in all ways so that the jobs calling for detailed information will be total failures.
Do you think that reading novels is more interesting than reading factual books? Why is that?
Yes I do. As an avid reader of novels, I always have a preference for books with an intense plot to those with merely knowledge or information. Generally speaking, I believe all kinds of books are written to communicate certain knowledge to their readers but the knowledge are packed in different covers. Some are embedded in a story, which is what novels do with the knowledge, and some are delivered within a series of experiments and assumptions, which is how factual books are organized. The preference for novels is parallel to the fondness of junk food instead of the tasteless fibers and protein capsulated inside colorful pills. What matters to a person’s taste for books is heavily influenced by the way the information is communicated. That is how I look at the preference for novels to factual books.
