我在泰国考雅思，一个月口语从5.5到7.5
泰国考雅思是怎么样的经历，会提高分数吗?下面我们就来看看考生分享的经历吧!
我在泰国考雅思，一个月口语从5.5到7.5
和雅思纠缠了无数个日夜，经历过失败与痛苦，听说国外考雅思口语和写作会比国内给分更高一点~所以决定出国考雅思!
看来看去感觉东南亚地区相对来说性价比最高，之前也没去泰国玩过，所以最后决定就泰国啦!
报名的话我当时在某宝找的代报名，会收取一点手续费，接着就是选考场和考位。我是在曼谷考的，听说清迈也还可以。
曼谷的考场是设置在酒店里，整体考试体验炒鸡好~环境也很好，没有国内那种在学校考试的紧张感，心态好然后成绩也就能跟着upupup!
另外~我遇到的考官非常nice，这对于口语考试来说非常重要~全程笑眯眯，让人心里也暖暖的。
其实我口语能考7.5，我本人也非常震惊!因为我Part3说的时候有一点点重复和卡顿，但是把自己想要表达的内容都有完整讲述出来。本来想着可能也就是拿到6.5，最后竟然拿到7.5，开心到模糊!
接下来大概分享一下我的口语备考经验~
我觉得对我来说题库和口语陪练是两大提分法宝!
先说题库，这是一份非常宝贵的复习资料。对着题库展开的问题，自己准备话题。一定要把自己的答案写出来，一个词一个词的写出来。
这个过程我个人觉得非常重要，一方面能够保证自己不出现一些低级错误，同时也能让自己的答案更加的思路清晰，逻辑明了。
然后就对自己的答案进行分类归纳，比如这些话题都可以归类到日常生活、兴趣爱好、学习工作等不同的大类。
因为题目很多，抽到原题的可能非常小，所以就根据话题的分类，考试的时候也能触类旁通，总能扯到自己准备的话题上~
这也算是一个口语准备的小技巧小捷径吧~
然后就是找口语陪练，想必很多同学都知道找口语陪练的重要性。但是有时候因为外教水平良莠不齐，所以有时候有的同学会觉得找外教陪练没什么用，就是闲聊天!
我之前在某宝买过外教口语陪练的课程，但是体验确实很一般，就像是简单陪聊。对我雅思口语考试的帮助并不是很大，反而觉得费时费力还费钱。
后来辗转在雅思哥报了口语陪练课程，老师比较认真负责，完全依照口语评分标准进行打分与分析，这样就知道自己下一步努力的目标在哪里。
我当时一个月基本每隔两天都找外教老师进行练习，每天也确实都有提高和收获。开始我是因为语速快，一些小细节注意不到，还有时态问题会忽略掉。
后面的练习就刻意让语速变平缓，然后写问题答案的时候注意到时态，进行及时的改正，不让自己一错再错~
说了这么多，最后就祝大家屠鸭顺利吧!就我个人而言，出国考雅思，不亏!口语找陪练，真棒!
泰国雅思能提分?是忽悠人还是实锤?
舟车劳顿、水土不服可能会影响你的考试状态
泰国地处热带，绝大部分地区属热带季风气候，终年炎热，全年温差不大，可谓四季如夏。特别是每年3月至5月的“热季”，月平均气温更是高达32-38℃。很多考生都反映，去泰国考试在室外热到虚脱，进了考场却冷到手颤抖(泰国大部分酒店、商城冷气都开的很足)。
另外，泰国饮食文化虽值得体验，各种泰国料理如冬阴功、咖喱蟹、芒果香饭等种类很多，但吃得太杂容易引发肠胃问题;泰国人的主食多为各种糯米饭，但吃惯米饭和面食的我们，吃多了糯米饭特别容易消化不良。水果品种也多，价格也很便宜，但是千万别贪多，摄入太多高糖偏凉的水果小心肠胃不适。总的来说，泰国的气候和饮食文化与国内的差异还是很大的，很多考生往往不太适应，再加上舟车劳顿，可能会出现水土不服从而影响到考试的状况。
我有一名学生，我对他印象特别深刻，因为这个学生学英语特别认真，但是在听力和口语两个单项上的提升很困难。在选择雅思考试地点这件事上他曾问过我意见，虽然我一再和他说去哪儿考都差不多，以他的成绩只要正常发挥，考到7分没问题。但他最后还是选择去泰国曼谷考。没想到在泰国却因为水土不服一直拉肚子，最后影响到了考试状态，四个多月的努力付诸东流。“泰国雅思考场环境与国内的考场环境并无差别，但如果再选择一次，我一定会在国内考，水土不服，一个人在外备考，身体出现状况，真的很无助。”经过这次泰国考试之旅，再有想要去泰国考试的同学问他意见，他都会如此建议。那么我在这里也要建议考鸭们：除了考试本身，外部环境因素也会对考试状态产生影响，这一点在选择出国考试的时候，一定要综合考虑到。
二、官方反击模板，无论在哪考，背诵痕迹明显都易遭Pass
“刷机经背模板””在大陆考鸭圈中已经成为了一种普遍现象，近年来中国考生“席卷”的东南亚各大雅思考场，东南亚考官也一样熟悉中国考生的“套路”，要知道，即便有几个人能吃上模板的“螃蟹”，十几个之后就会被考官发现。我可以很负责任地告诉你，没有新的表达和得分点，分数出来照样不高。其实背诵和模仿是语言学习过程中的必要环节，但不能只停留在背诵和模仿阶段，学以致用、灵活应变才是最终目的。
在我的学生中，今年依旧有一部分人选择去泰国考雅思，在口语考试中，因为套用模板吃了亏的大有人在，张丽就是个典型的例子。去泰国考雅思，她的口语成绩依然是6。以前在国内考雅思，她的口语成绩就一直不理想，我帮她分析过，她的主要问题不在于发音，而在于不自然，背诵准备痕迹太重，交流感不强。当时她可能有点不以为然，不过这次泰国考雅思回来她态度有了很大的转变。据她回忆，这次泰国雅思口语考的是describe a place that has been polluted，她就是按照自己准备的素材讲的，自认为可能得高分的描述段落背得滚瓜烂熟。但第三部分考官似乎特意问了几个特别发散的问题，她几乎都答不上来，事后她分析，认为考官是发现她背模板了，所以第三部分特意问了又新又难的问题
影响考试成绩的因素虽多，但自身实力是第一影响要素
“你为什么会认为去国外考雅思会得更高的分?”面对这个问题，很多国内考鸭给出的答案是我听某某老师说，我听某某同学分享...其实培训学校组织国外雅思考试考团很大一部分是受到利益驱使，鼓吹的成分较大;即使身边真有某位同学去国外考雅思提了分的案例，我们也要多角度分析，毕竟影响考试成绩的因素有很多。比如为了应付这次考试进行了“头悬梁，锥刺股”式的备考;再比如，考生认为自己在写作、听力以及阅读考试中表现良好，那么在口语考试中，他会更加自信，表现更加自然;而如果在上午的考试中自我感觉不佳，这可能会影响在口语考试中的表现，从而影响成绩
其实，真正能影响到考生分数的，不是不同国家与地区的考场、考官，而是考生本人的硬实力!
很多考生想通过换个地方，投机取巧得高分，而不是实实在在地提升自己的实力，最后结果十有八九不尽人意。一直为移民做准备的莫苏，雅思考试一直通不过，4月份在朋友的建议下远赴泰国考试，最后口语得分和总分与国内比并无差别。她说：“我的同伴和我的口语都得了5.5，我在国内考试，口语也是可以拿到5.5到6.0的，所以并不觉得来泰国考试有什么优势。不过作文倒是首次拿到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准备。“
再有同学来问莫苏去泰国考雅思是否有优势，莫苏都会答到：别人去泰国考试有没有提分我不知道，但是这次我去泰国考试，并有得到什么“特别”的福利，没有感觉到去泰国考雅思像培训学校和网络上说的那么神乎其神。
四、放弃投机取巧，专心备考才是王道
雅思是国外院校敲门砖，是大家走出国门实现留学梦想的一道门槛，但是以后无论是留学还是移民，更多的是需要考生们融会贯通，灵活运用。去泰国考雅思会更加容易，分数更高?由上述几点可以看出这是不确定性事件，“泰国雅思能提分”并无实锤!相反，在国内考雅思与在泰国考雅思，别无二致。与其舟车劳顿，浪费时间和精力去准备出国考试事宜，不如放下杂念，融会贯通，提升自己的硬实力再战雅思!
雅思口语高频：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.
