雅思口语百问百答 | 使用雅思口语模板的好处大于坏处吗？

使用雅思口语模板句是否利大于弊，一直有很大的争议，有的老师非常推崇使用，认为模板句有助于更流畅地表达观点，而有的老师则认为有背诵的痕迹会被扣分。那么到底该不该使用呢?本文Phoebe将搬来雅思口语考官的回答，以正视听：

A student asked me whether the following formula is useful for speaking part 2:

有同学问我以下这些模板句是否能用于雅思口语Part 2：

• I guess I could begin by saying something about (point 1) and I think I would have to choose...

• Going on to my next point which is (point 2), I really need to emphasise that (explain point 2).

• And now with reference to (point 3), the point I want to make here is that (explain point 3).

• And so finally, if I have time, in answer to the question of (point 4), really I should mention that...

So, are these 'formula phrases' a good idea? My answer is no!

用这些模板句好吗?我的回答是“No”!

As an English speaker and ex-examiner, I find these phrases annoying. It's obvious that they are memorised, and they do not address the question topic. Please don't expect the examiner to be impressed by this kind of thing.

作为母语是英语的人以及前雅思考官，我认为这些句子非常恼人。很明显它们是背诵下来的句子，而且它们也都和话题无关。所以千万不要指望这些句子能让考官眼前一亮!

There are a couple of benefits to learning a formula: it gives your answer some structure, and it might make you feel more confident during the test. However, the disadvantages are greater:

学习模板句确实有一些优点，它能给你提供回答框架，在考试的时候能让你更加自信。然而，它的坏处远远大于它的好处，因为：

1. Your focus is on the phrases you have memorised, when it should be on answering the question with relevant ideas.

这样你的关注点在这些背诵下来的词组上，而不是在回答这个话题本身上。

2. The examiner thinks that you are using memorised phrases because you are unable to produce good language spontaneously. In other words, your use of long formula phrases suggests that your level of English is lower.

考官认为你使用模板句是因为你不能自发地运用语言，换句话说，使用模板句就暗示了你的英语水平很低。

以上就是今天为大家讲解的能不能使用模板句的问题，现在大家应该都知道是否应该使用模板句了吧，Phoebe的建议就是，如果你的目标分数是5分左右，英语水平低到不能正常回答问题，那也只能借助模板句了;但是要是想追求高分，千万别用模板句，亮出自己的实力来!
