Grammatical Range and Accuracy  语法运用范围与其正确性

　　1.Record yourself  录下自己的声音

　　Often when you are speaking you don't realise how many mistakes you make or what they are.  You'll be surprised that you can actually pick up a lot of mistakes yourself if you replay your talk, and by copying it down, it will probably bring out even more errors.  Once you've noted your most common errors, get yourself a grammar practice book and practise your weaknesses.

　　将自己的口试练习录下来，你会发现自己犯了许多平时没有发现的错误。记下自己最常犯的错误，并使用语法书来练习自己语法较弱的地方。

　　2.Take apart and reconstruct sentences 分解、重组句子结构

　　Open up any book and choose a sentence.  Break up the sentence into smaller sentences and then without referring back to the original sentence see if you can put it back together again.  In the IELTS you will need to be able to produce both short and complex sentence forms.You will not get a high score if you only use short simple sentences for the sake of accuracy.

　　随便从一本书中挑一个句子，练习将句子分解成几个较短的句子，再重组还原成完整的一句。在IELTS口试中，你必须兼顾短句及复合句的使用。如果为了句子的正确性而一直使用简短的句子，肯定是不会得到高分的。

　　3.Practise linking words and expressions 练习使用连词

　　The easiest way to make a sentence sound more complex is by using a linking word. Get yourself a grammar book and practise using conjunctions and linking words.

　　让一个句子听起来完整、漂亮的最简单方式就是使用连词，可使用语法书来练习连词的用法。

　　4.Read, read, read  持续阅读

　　The more you read, the more good grammar you will come across.The more accurate and complex grammar you are exposed to, the more likely it is that some of it will rub off on you.

　　你读得越多，就越能使用复杂而正确的语法，以此来精确地表达你的意思。

　　Pronunciation 发音

　　1.Note down phonemics 记下单词的音节

　　When you learn a new word, it is essential that you also learn how to say it otherwise you can use it in writing but not in speaking. By learning and using the phonemic script for each new word you learn, you will feel more confident when it comes to using it verbally.

　　当你学到一个新的单词时，练习它的正确发音是必要的，否则你充其量只会把词汇用在书写上而非口语上。

　　2.Repeat after a recording 复述练习

　　Practise repeating after a recording over and over again. The first time you may have the clarity but you will most likely be  missing the other native speech patterns such as word and sentence stress, rhythm and intonation, sound links, weakened forms and contractions.  Keep practising until it sounds identical to the native speaker.

　　做复述练习。你有可能已经说得很清楚，但却忽略了重音、音调或连音等。不断地练习，直到自己的发音能近似于母语为英语者。

　　3.Read aloud 大声念出来

　　This will help you to improve your motor skills.  As English is not your mother tongue, your mouth will not be used to using certain muscles.  Therefore they need to be given a workout as often as possible. If you read aloud a tapescript it will give you the opportunity also to listen and check your pronunciation.

　　这能帮助你训练嘴型和舌头。英语并非你的母语，所以你并不习惯于某些肌肉的运用，因此你必须时常练习。大声念出录音稿，你就有更多的机会检查自己的发音。

　　4.Listen, listen, listen 多听

　　The more you listen, the more familiar the sounds of the English language will become to you. This will assist in predicting the pronunciation of new words in case you do not have a dictionary handy to look up the phonemics.

　　多练习听力，你就能更熟悉英语音调，下次遇到新的词汇时，无须查字典也能发出正确的音。
