朗阁的老师总结多年雅思教学经验时发现，speaking和listening中有很多互通的点，互相借鉴着学习会有意想不到的提高，下面，老师将分三节内容，从“音”“材”方面分析雅思考试这两部分内容的相通点：
 

　　一、“音”--发音特点形异神同

　　首先，不管是雅思听力还是口语都对发音有所要求。大家来回顾一下Speaking四大评分标准中的第一条：Fluency and Coherence, 具体包括很重要的一点就是“use of connectives(连词的使用)”。

　　雅思口语中连词的使用会使得表达更加的连贯流畅，但是在具体的实践中很多考生的实际情况却是：一开口就什么都忘记了，更别提在句子的起承转合中正确地运用连词了。另一方面，听力考试，尤其是Section 3和Section 4中也会大量使用连接词，这些连词不仅仅使文章表达通顺富有层次和逻辑性，同时更是考生听题寻找答案的关键定位词。

　　那么，对于雅思听力材料多做跟读和精听，扩展连接词汇量，熟记对应用法，这样在口语对话中自然会灵活地使用各种连词，表达将会更加顺畅、地道。这里以听力材料为例做具体讲述：

　　Cambridge 11-Test 1-Section 4 (Ocean Biodiversity) Questions 39-40:

　　Recommendations to retain ocean biodiversity

　　l Increase the number of ocean reserves

　　l Establish 39________corridors (e.g. For turtles)

　　l Reduce fishing quotas

　　l Catch fish only for the purpose of 40_______

　　对于看到这两个空，首先要注意的就是这并列的四点对应的雅思原文中肯定会出现并列连词，那么只需有目的地听每一点前面的连接词就可以轻松定位到具体的句子了。我们来看一下详细原文：

　　“So finally, what can be done to retain the diversity of species in the world’s oceans? Firstly, we need to set up more reserves....we have some, but not enough. In addition, to preserve species such as leatherback turtles... We need to create corridors for migration, so they can get from one area to another safely. As well as this, actions need to.... And finally, there’s the problem of “by-catch”,...”

　　这段文字中使用了大量的连接词，“Firstly”、“In addition”、“As well as this”、“And finally”四个连词分别清晰简明地对应到如题目中四个概括性的句子，清楚阐释了小标题对应的四种维持海洋物种多样性的方法，一目了然。同样的道理，熟记了这些连词以及对应的用法，在口语中正确地运用出来不也是能够让自己的表达提高流畅性，让雅思考官准确、清楚地“get”到自己的点吗?

　　这里，举一个雅思口语Part 3的例子“Why do you think documentary films are not so popular?” 然后课上同学给出答案如下“There're several reasons, documentary films are traditionally produced to educate very limited audience, students mainly, and teenagers are easily distracted since there aren’t many fascinating plots, they tend to choose action movies instead of documentaries, and documentary films usually employ limited ways to publicise themselves which is also one cause.”

　　这里学生给到了好几种原因，但是看着却总有一种逻辑不清的感觉，其中一点原因就是连词使用的缺失，雅思的答案中除了最基础的“and”和一个解释原因的“since”就没有其他的连词出现，让人抓不清点。那么来看下加了连词修改过后的版本：

　　“There're several reasons, firsty, documentary films are traditionally produced to educate very limited audience, students mainly, as well as this, teenagers are easily distracted since there aren’t many fascinating plots, that way, they tend to choose action movies instead of documentaries, and finally, documentary films usually employ rather limited ways to publicise themselves which is also add to the unpopularity of documentaries.”

　　怎么样，是不是瞬间比上面的答案更加清楚、主次分明了呢?唯一的不同只是增加了一点雅思听力材料中常出现的连词而已。

　　下节内容中，青岛朗阁将为大家列举一些雅思听力和口语中经常会出现的高频词，敬请期待!
