广州雅思培训小编给大家整理了雅思口语老师郑睿老师写的:如何准确灵活地回答雅思口语中“频率”类问题例释
我们知道雅思口语中经常会被问及 “How often do you/people…/Do you often...”类的问题,例如以下几道最近新口语考题:
How often do you wear jewelries?
How often do you write e-mails ?
Do you often look in the mirror?
Do you often wear a watch?
Do you think women tend to chat more often than men?
但是大家是否有足够充分的相关词汇或短语去准确地回应这类有关“频率”类的问题呢?
常用表达如下:
1.总是:
Always; all the time; 24/7 (twenty-four seven)
24/7: 可能部分同学会相对陌生,其实它在口头表达中的意思是“24 hours a day, 7 days a week”, 也就是 “all the time”的意思
例如:
雅思口语考试谈到咖啡馆或酒吧,可以说:
the bar/cafe is open for business 24/7
其它可能的
I wear my jewelries 24/7
2. 反复:
time and time again; again and again; over and over; repeatedly;
3. 经常,频繁:
often; very/quite/fairly often; usually ; frequently ; frequent (做动词);quite a lot;
very/quite/fairly often: 其中very,quite和fairly三个形容词在雅思口语中经常用来修饰程度,但是大部分人估计只用very,其实这三个形容词在雅思口语中用的都很高频,但是它们所表达的强烈程度由微妙的区别,在大多数的语境下,修饰的强烈程度为:very>quite>fairly;
very就不必说了,大家都经常用,但是我们在雅思口语中可以同样可以经常用一用quite跟fairly,两者均为非常实用的表达,例如:
i am not quite sure about it 我不太肯定
this is a fairly large garden/apartment 这个花园/公寓还蛮大的
frequent: 大家应该对frequently比较熟悉,frequent可以作为形容词,但很多人不知道它还可以做动词 (作动词发音时重音在第二个音节fre’quent)
例如:this is the restaurant which i used to frequent with my girlfriend.
4. 定期
regularly; on a regular basis; once/twice/… a week/month..; eve-ry …days(每…几天做一次); every other… days(每隔...天做一次);
其中on a… basis可能不少人不够熟悉,表示按照...的基本原则/方式
类似的:on a daily basis/weekly/monthly/annual basis.
5. 多数时候/情况下/多半
more often than not ; in most cases;
more often than not是一个实用的表达,例如考官问:what do you usually do on weekends ?
答:More often than not, I stay home instead of going out.
6. 时不时
from time to time; (every) now and then
7. 偶尔
sometimes; occasionally ; once in a while ; at intervals/times
8. 很少
seldom ; rarely;
9.几乎不:
hardly ever; scarcely ever
注意hardly和scarcely表示过去很少做某事的时候通常跟ever搭配,
雅思口语中经常谈到艺术类问题,例如问:
Do you often go to museums and art galleries?
那么我们就可以用上这个短语了——Frankly speaking, I hardly ever go to those places/venues.
10. 从不
never; not at all ; not under any circumstances ; on no occasion
其实 not at all是一个很好的表达,但是很多中国考生不习惯用,注意这个短语可以连在一起用,也可以拆开用,例如:
Are you interested in art? —— Not at all / i am not interested in it at all.
以上就是对雅思口语表达中常用”频率”词的整理,灵活准确的词汇表达是雅思口语提分的一个重要角度,祝大家考试顺利!
