漫威一样可以拯救雅思口语

　　很多备考雅思的同学，尤其是男生，从小都有漫威情节！成为超人拯救世界。先是玩奥特曼ultraman，变形金刚transformer。后来漫威(Marvel)出现了，我们的梦想如奇迹般被赋予到每一个角色中：Superman, Ironman,Batman, Spiderman and Captain of America, etc. All of them are too cool to be true! 每个英雄都酷的难以想象! 

　　殊不知看漫威的电影，逛漫威的周边，买漫威的模型，而我们在准备雅思口语的时候同样漫威的超级英雄们也可以帮助我们-那就是漫威的漫画( Marvel comics)。话不多说，请大家欣赏一下漫威漫画以及超级英雄们炫酷的口语。

　　在准备口语的过程中，很多同学都很苦恼，到底如何说才能听起来很地道呢?其实地道的口语往往不一定需要非常难的单词，很多看起来简单的词一旦组成词组反而可以给你的口语加分不少。今天我们就边看漫威漫画边向超级英雄们学习如何用这些词组给自己的口语加分吧。 

　　Captain America: It’s for situations like this that the avengers were formed.

　　It’s for situations like this that…在这种情况下

　　很多同学这个时候可能会用In this case/In this situation 美国队长的这个表达正好满足了口语中less common words的要求。那这个短语怎么用呢?口语考试Part 1中会有一些让你选择的问题。比如：Do you prefer bus or taxi? 回答此类问题的时候这个短语就帮上了大忙。

　　回答：In most cases, I would choose to take a bus. Cuz bus is quite affordable and a good way to travel around and explore the city if you’ve got plenty of time. But sometimes it rains and traffic is not quite smooth. You would probably wait ages for the bus to come. It’s for situations like this that I would take a taxi.

　　Black Widow: You ‘re already breaking your own rules. Mr. Captain Man.

　　Break your own rules 打破自己的规则

　　这个短语意思为跳出自己的条条框框to change your patterns of thinking，改变自己的思维模式。同样的口语考试Part 2会有关于‘改变’的话题。比如：Describe a sport you would like to try for the first time. 想初次尝试的一项运动。Describe the first time that you used a foreign language to communicate.第一次用外语交流。这两道题我们就可以用这个短语：

　　You should break your own rules and try to make the shift from ‘no’ to ‘yes’.

　　打破自己的规则，试着从‘拒绝’向‘接受’转变。

　　I can’t get over being invisible.It’s like being invisible in high school again.

　　Get over 克服

　　很多同学克服可能还是倾向于用 ‘overcome’，但是由简单词组成的词组‘get over’会比’overcome’更赢得考官的青睐哦。

　　It’s like 就像/换句话说

　　同时这句话里’It’s like’ 也是很好的短语，Part 1中给出一个观点后，‘It’s like’ 就可以用于补充细节或者引用。

　　例如Part 1的一道题：Do you think history is important?

　　回答：Absolutely! It is actually quite essential to our current society. We are shaped by history. I can’t imagine if we just attach no importance to it. It’s like growing without seeds.(后面可以再根据情况补充example，这里我就不多说啦) 

　　But how long are we supposed to—ummp!

　　Be supposed to应该

　　这个词组虽然看起来非常简单，但是在口语中非常好用。相当于‘should’或者‘would’ 所以当同学们要用‘should’‘would’的时候希望换成这个词，效果会大不一样。提问中有‘should’时，

　　例如：Do you think government should provide more public parks for citizens to visit? 这个问题回答的时候就可以用‘be supposed to’ 来替换问题中的‘should’。 

　　Mr. Rogers, Mr. Stark, we wish to reach an agreement. We do not believe the avengers can possibly function alone. Just the sheer amount of necessary funds would be overwhelming.

　　Possibly可能

　　这里提到了‘possibly’，虽然本身不是非常高级的词，但是需要强调的是副词在口语中非常好用。在任何动词前加适当的副词都可以使你加分不少。’possibly’是表示可能性的，表示可能性的除了’possibly’之外还有：hardly/perhaps/absolutely/probably

　　这些词都可以使你的观点非常客观。在回答Part 1‘How often’题型时，这些词会比较好用。

　　比如：How often do you play sports?

　　回答：Well, it really depends. If I’ve got plenty of spare time, I would probablydo it quite often like maybe everyday. I would jog in the park close to my home. While if I have a busy schedule, I would hardly do it quite a lot, perhaps once a week. I’d like to play badminton with my friends on weekend.

　　Sheer十足的/全然的

　　‘Sheer’可以用于强调。

　　同时’sheer’可以组成一些词组：

　　Sheer luck 全凭运气

　　He won by sheer luck.

　　Sheer joy 兴高采烈

　　Out of sheer joy, she waved.
