序言
我在中國教授雅思課程已有9年時間,在這9年裡,中國雅思考生人數與日俱增,中國雅思考試市場迅猛擴大。然而,所有的中國雅思考生都必須面對這樣的一個事實:中國考生的雅思成績與其他國家存在著巨大差距。以下兩個排位數據,可以讓我們更加清晰地看到這一點。
2009年中國雅思考生人數突破35萬人次,中國成為參加雅思考試人數排名第一的國家。
同年雅思官方公布了全球雅思考生成績排名,中國學生的雅思成績全球排名倒數第三。
中國雅思考生的弱項在於口語和寫作,而口語部分的誤區在於“參考答案”,即所謂的“模板”。在我看來,依靠“模板”是一種很不明智的做法。中國每年有逾10萬的學生參加雅思考試,可能很多人都在照搬這個“模板”,結果就是千篇一律,令考官厭煩不已,自然分數也就不甚樂觀。中國考生首先需要做好發音、語法、辭彙這些基本功;開始表達之後,要在連貫性和流暢性上下功夫;這些都做好之後,就要讓語言表達趨近地道,趨近本土化。這三個層次,每一項都需要一步一個腳印的學習,每上升一個層次,都需要上一層堅實的基礎。
