2017雅思口语素材：描述你想学更多的事情

雅思口语的评分标准包括发音、流利性与连贯性、语法多样性及准确性、以及词汇多样性。这四项都需要雅思考生平时的积累，但在准备雅思口语话题的过程中，后两项尤其需要注意。下面就以近期较为常见的一道题目为例，看看我们该怎么注意这两方面的问题。

　　题目是 Describe something that you want to learn more.

　　话题卡中问题包括

　　What it is?

　　How would you learn it?

　　Where you can learn it?

　　And explain why you want to keep learning it.

　　首先要注意的就是雅思口语答案需要使用的时态--将来时，是一种计划，所以答题中要有意识的使用相应的表达，尽量确保语法的正确性和多样性。另外，从词汇多样性角度看，要挑选合适的内容才有可能让自己有机会说出自己能够掌握的雅思词汇，所以千万不要为了题材新颖而选择过于困难的“学习内容”。

　　在这里，为了能够和其他雅思口语题目产生关联以便在练习其他题目时能借鉴内容，我建议同学们可以从语言学习的角度去考虑。语言学习是大家相对来说比较熟悉的内容，雅思词汇的储备也相对来说容易。但是，为了避免千人一面，我们可以把“语言学习”这个话题稍微进行转换，尝试一下public speaking。以下，就是一则范例供大家参考：

　　well，if there's something I'd like to learn more about， even become proficient in，it must be the skill of public speaking.I'm terrified of speaking in front of the crowd. But recently，my English teacher saidthat，in the coming term， he would requireall of us to do presentation about different topics，like films， books，or events. It'sreally urgent for me to improve it.

　　As a beginner，I will definitely call in experts to help me，which means I'll choose to attend a sort of public speaking course，because itmay help me increase my proficiency in some techniques，such as how toorganisemy speech，how to usebody language and vocal variety， and stuff like that. Anyway，I believe this kind of course could serve as a guide to train me on these skill sets.

　　Currently there're plenty of them，online or face-to-face. I prefer，if it's possible，to do face-to-face one since I really want to overcome my fear of speaking in public.I wouldn't achieve it if I do this course online because there would be no audience sitting in front of me and making me nervous.

　　Apart from the reason I mentioned before，I think learning public speaking could bring me more benefits. For instance，it could help me build up my confidence 'cause I'll finally overcome myfeeling of fear an anxiety. It also may develop my leadership skills as a good public speaker can influence and persuade others by words. So it's absolutely worth learning public speaking skill.
