吴慧冬雅思口语TSE五大原则和范文变形&3D口语学习法

From http://blog.hjenglish.com/wuhuidong

 

That’s true, having a good command of English is vitally significant and profound. Here I would like to give all my friends

and students some advice for the future IETLS spoken English learning in terms of the experience I got from being a teacher

and being interpreter for government as well as embassies. Being an interpreter is by no means easy, which needs to have a

good command of listening, understanding or decoding and speaking. As soon as I hear the original voice from the speaker,

meanwhile, I will decode or understand it by dividing the content of the voice into different segments, and use my short-term

memory and if possible ,note-taking, to deliver the interpretation in the process of consecutive or simultaneous cases. Now ,

I would like to tell you how to speak good English, not only for IETLS but also in life.

 

   As we all know there are three stages in the oral text of IELTS, and use 3-D methods to practice and conquer. 3-D methods

for IELTS Spoken English ----(Dialogue, Description , and Discussion)

 

 

Stage one: Dialogue

 

Having authentic and polished oral English is every learner’s dream, however, many of my students who spent a lot of years,

money and efforts to speak this language well but failed to be able to communicate and speak out, the reason to which might

be mainly confidence and methods. I notice that many students do well in speaking when conducting a prepared speech or

presentation in class. But speaking English fluently is not just about making presentations and giving speeches. It is about

expressing your ideas and insight on the most mundane of things around you. I still remember when I first landed on the soil

of Beijing 7 years ago; I could not communicate with my friends and even felt uneasy when going out with them because I did

not have the confidence to start a conversation with my Mandarin or English. It’s the same to the English learners who have

no courage to start a topic and face an awkward silence after the initial greeting was given because they don't know what to

talk about and are not confident of putting something across correctly, thus the interview for the text comes to end. The

ability to make dialogues is very important in every text and even social communication. Topics for casual conversation, even

in the IELTS text could include the hometown, weather, education, music, current affairs; hobbies, travel, etc. In the

preparation of the exam , you can go to English Corner or find some friends to practice your English with, mind you, please

read up on your area of interest and try framing sentences expressing your opinions. Talk about it with someone close to you

or someone’s English level is higher than yours, so you can check for your language accuracy and fluency. Also, you’d

better to grasp regularly used ways of small talk, and you will be able to initiate speaking more confidently. If you can

break this barrier and speak out with passion and confidence, you can take your first step into the realm of English speaking

and become a excellent speaker in the first step of successful English.

 

 

Stage two: Description

 

In stage two of the text, there are mainly five areas, namely people, object , place/building , experience, entertainment or

mass communication. In this area, you are going to use your creativity, imagination and innovation to describe, to speak out

of your heart and soul. I strongly recommend my students to use the whole sentence with interesting ideas. Remember, in IELTS

spoken text , the interviewer are expecting the answers with creativity and interesting, of course honesty is the best

policy. Take a topic of person for example, if I let you to describe your teacher’s appearance, to which answer, most of

students might say : she is very pretty, sexy, beautiful , attractive, even delicious etc. All those adjective are

meaningless, for they just serve one purpose, that is “good looking”, and the interviewer wants to know nothing more than

the way of teacher looks like in details, to which the noun takes function. So , we should say which part of the appearance

is pretty, sexy or attractive. Put the very noun after the adjective, that is to say , my teacher has a good looking, for

she, well, has pretty eyes, pointed nose , sexy lips , rosy cheeks and attractive personality. If you want to describe a girl

’s beauty, you can put it that “ nobody can compare her beauty in my heart and soul” instead of simply saying “she is

beautiful”. In all, in part two of the text, every sentence you make up must be in accordance with your reality and

imagination. If you are hardly to speak out a word about the topic , just make up some , in IELTS, we are not going to be

true always. Adding up some flavor and appetizer to your reality will be of help ,even the best bet. Keep taking, keep

nodding , keep smiling and eye contact and confident even though you are telling a “white lie”. Remember , do not go too

far! Part two is important , for the relevant part three is coming after that. Whenever you get the chance , describe the

thing around you , your home , your family , your computer, something like that. You can also get the topics from my Blog and

51ielts. Using the TSE method I teach you to practice until you are ale to blurt out naturally.

 

Stage three: Discussion

 

I always enlighten my students that your language ability and academic achievements are very imperative and important, but

the most important of all, it’s your eloquence to communicate in the personal relationships. Elite may not have eloquence,

but an eloquent person must be an elite. So the best way to drill your speaking abilities is to discuss. When I was a junior,

I always raised discussions with my classmate in my dorm, questions like “environmental protection, cohabitation, 2008

Olympics, postgraduate exams and so on. After everyone aired his opinions, then we conducted discussion to argue, to express

ideas to convince the other. And I gradually build up on my own repertoire of conversational topics and start using them

whenever I get a chance; subsequently I have good command of English, and won a lot of awards in English speech contest and

debate. Hence, it’s also effective for you, my beloved friends or students, to have a try to use your language to discuss.

Topics can be related to part two of the interview(like a place with a lot of water or a place you can listen to music), how

do Chinese people to protect the water resource and do you think it is beneficial for children to learn piano, etc. There are

more helpful topics that you can get from 51ielts or my Blog (http://blog.sina.com.cn/wuhuidong) If you do want to learn

something well, you are supposed to have confidence and passion. I love playing piano , basketball and learning as well as

being a teacher, to which I devote my whole interest , confidence and passion no matter how many mistakes I will encounter,

how helpless , how hopeless and how far away for me to reach my final goal. I will never stop fighting for the betterment and

improvement of myself and to be an all-grounded person equipped with knowledge and clear mindset. And that is why I hope all

of you can be confident and passionate for what you have done and what you will be doing.

   Finally, I want to say to my students and English lovers. Try to be confident and passionate in the journey of study and

life, all you need is a will to learn and the initiative to begin. That done, it is simply a matter of time and effort!

吴慧冬雅思口语TSE五大原则和范文变形

       8月的考试已结束，祝福新航道和全国各地的考生取得最好的成绩，四年的全国英语口语和雅思讲学中，我踏遍了120多所大学和中学，

数十所企业和培训机构，教过无数的学生中有高中，有大学，研究生，博士生，以及工作的人，经验告诉我，高分和高水平的口语=方法+技巧

。

    方法：3D学习法（Dialogue, Descrpiton and Discuss），技巧：TSE（Topic , supporting and example）这些我在博客都提过，很多雅

思考生在考试前狂背范文， 背了40篇，考试紧张过度，忘记了39篇，只剩下第一篇能记住，最后没法取得高分，而且语言不是背出来的，要运

用想象力对其变化，我敢肯定中国同学的英语发音总体来讲是全亚洲最好的，好的发音是任何语言的前提，但雅思考试需要大家用良好的发音

表达丰富的逻辑思想，上次我与同学们分享了TSE方法，帮助大家如何组织好思路和语言，今天新航道吴慧冬老师，通过最新的常考题，与大家

分享TSE的5大原则以及它的变形，让大家少走弯路，下个月起，我会通过视频的方式，每天一个例子放在博客里，帮助同学们进一步了解雅思3

部分的所有技巧以及训练方法。

Part two:

第二部分考试是至关重要，因为它的成绩直接影响到你的第三部分，如果你答的好，PART THREE问的问题就会少，反之，考官除了会问他准备

好的问题外，还会问考生在第二部分所讲过的但他听不太明白的地方，我培训过所有取的过7分口语的学生中，都能够在不被考官打断的情况下

，50秒内把话题用TSE讲完，part three考官只问了两到三个问题。

      话题总的原则就是“人，物，事件，地点，媒体”，只要同学们按照我的课堂讲过的TSE方法以及公式去准备5篇范文，大部分话题都可

以套。下面的题，是9月份全国最重点的考题以及背形，无论是在哪个地方考试，基本上会按照以下的考题出，前面的是重点考题，红色的是题

目的变形，就是可以换来用的，同学们多发挥想像力。

 

五大原则一：人

People（过去一个多月，全国考得最多的是年青人和来访者，其次就是一个你崇敬的人和一个老人，其实所有的“人”话题，都是与你有关系

，对你有影响。五大原则里，人的话题是最简单，但也是最重要，这个“人”对你很好有影响，送了你一个礼物，这个礼物就是“物品题”了

，如果这个物品在一个生日晚会里出现，很多人都参与了，这就是“事件题”等等的变形。下面的茫文，同学们加以训练，运用自己的想象力

把红色字体的变形题用TSE换， 跟随其后的就是第三部分。

     Ken is not only a good friend of mine but also a hardworking person. He makes everything done well ,such as  planting

flowers, laundering clothes, and cleaning in order to let us live in a most wonderful, cozy place on earth.

     E： What impresses me most is that he likes encouraging people like me who feel discouraged when facing troubles. Her

word “tomorrow is another day” always lingering in my mind and burying in my heart.  In my mind, he is the perfect teenager

worked or studied before 等等）

 

a place with a lot of water

 T：The best answer to this topic might be the Fragrant Hill Park, where I left the unforgettable memory. This park is not

only famous for the red leaves , but also for the music fountains.
     It has become another symbol for the Beijing city and attracts crowds of tourists.

S：The most appealing thing is the music of the fountain. The water is able to dance in accordance with the lyric, tune and

melody of the music played by people in the controlled room.

Also, you can watch movies at night from water. The mixture of water sound and the film one teaches everyone’s heart.

People like going there from time to time. Old people like going there for relax and movies, youngster for taking photos,

even some Children for playing with water.  All of those want to enjoy the magnificent scenery and nature in front of the

music fountains.

I have been there once, and the breath-taking moments last till now whenever I see the photo I took there, I wish I could go

there someday in the future.

 

 A happy experience in your life:（这个地方你是不是工作和学习过？ 这个经历有没有改变你？这个地点可不可以是名胜呢？是不是去过

的一个城市？这个地方你拍照了吗？是不是一次旅游？等等）

     T: Experiences shape and enrich our lives , most of which are happy , though some are sad. Here , I want to share with

you my happy experience when I was a volunteer at the English Association (EA) at my university,  which I have left the

unforgettable memory in my whole life.

S:  The mission of EA is to help all those people who are willing to learn English to welcome 2008 Olympics in every local

community. All students who joined in this organization are the English lovers and volunteers. And I happened to be one of

them, and my mission is to promote the popularity of English in every part of China. 

E: I still remember my first volunteering experience was to give English lessons to residents from a local community. You

know, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is being held; many people want to share the joyful moment, the culture with the foreign

visitor by learning English. I went to the community every weekend, to teach them the simple English and provide them with

English materials for the game. At first I taught them like “welcome to China, I hope you enjoy your stay here, may I help

you” . For all those people are in advanced age, some of whom even have memory disability, those simple greeting expression

are not easy for them to learn. 

However, what impresses me was they had never given up. They practice with passion and patience. I love this experience, for

it offers me the good chance to help people, to get in touch with the society, to contribute our effort for the country and

to learn something that’s not written on the text book.
