上次我们讲到AEAS口语的评分标准时就提及,中国考生们过度关注AEAS词汇量而忽略其他要求,今天课窝AEAS考试频道就来具体分析一下,其他要求中的FC:Fluency &Coherence流利度与连贯性,要怎么做到。
不少考试在AEAS考试中都会出现紧张现象,要么讲话磕磕绊绊不知所措,要么一本正经背诵“标准”答案,这样的AEAS口语考试,成绩自然好不到哪儿去。
而要想在短时间内提高自己的语言流利度与连贯性,除了依靠平时的积累外,还要学会合理使用过渡词。口语中使用过渡词,能为自己留下更多的时间思考下一句要讲的内容,捋清思路,逻辑性更强。同时,也避免了"uh...","Hmmm..."这样不自信的结巴词汇大幅度出现。
过渡词的种类各种各样,而AEAS口语中,这十种过渡词使用的频率极高。背会这些并且合理运用,你的口语一定会让考官惊艳的!但是切记不要“张冠李戴”,错误使用过渡词可是考试的大忌!
