Mở rộng ý câu trả lời

Bạn cần phải sẵn sàng mở rộng ý tưởng của mình cho giám khảo. Vì vậy DOL giới thiệu với các bạn một phương pháp giúp các bạn hệ thống được ý tưởng một cách phù hợp – Phương pháp A.R.E.A.

• Answer (Trả lời): Điều quan trọng đầu tiên cần làm là đưa ra câu trả lời trực tiếp cho câu hỏi đó, tránh nói vòng vo và ẩn ý vì điều này có thể gây khó hiểu cho giám khảo.

• Reason (Lý do): Sau khi đã đưa ra câu trả lời, thí sinh nên đưa ra các luận điểm, lý do dẫn đến câu trả lời của mình vừa mới trình bày. Lý do cần phải cụ thể, súc tích và liên quan trực tiếp đến câu trả lời trước đó.

• Example (Ví dụ): Tiếp theo, hãy nghĩ đến một ví dụ để chứng minh và làm tăng tính thuyết phục cho câu trả lời của mình. Các ví dụ càng cụ thể rõ ràng thì sẽ càng làm tăng tính thuyết phục và gây ấn tượng tốt cho giám khảo.

• Alternative (Thay thế): Đây là phần giúp các bạn thể hiện được tư duy phản biện trong bài nói. Cụ thể, thí sinh cần lật ngược lại vấn đề và đưa ra ý kiến phản bác bằng một số trường hợp ngoại lệ. Tuy nhiên, không phải bất kỳ câu hỏi nào cũng có thể sử dụng từ thay thế. Vì vậy, tuỳ theo dạng câu hỏi và chủ đề, hãy linh hoạt trong câu trả lời của mình nhé!

Dùng linh hoạt cấu trúc ngữ pháp

Việc sử dụng đa dạng các thì và paraphrase là không bao giờ thừa trong các bài thi tiếng Anh. Trong đó, việc áp dụng linh hoạt các thì thời gian, modal verb, conditional v.v. sẽ giúp cải thiện đáng kể tiêu chí Grammatical Range trong Speaking đó.

Đa dạng từ vựng phù hợp với ngữ cảnh

Bạn nên sử dụng đa dạng các từ vựng của mình trong Part 3 và, nếu có thể, bạn nên sử dụng những từ chuyên môn hợp với chủ đề trong bài nói. Tránh sử dụng idiom và các synonym cao siêu gây mất tự nhiên trong nhịp nói, vì việc này sẽ ảnh hưởng đến tiêu chí Lexcial Resource của bạn.

Không nên nói quá ít hay quá nhiều

Một câu hỏi của Part 3 nên được trả lời trong khoảng 5-7 câu, nếu bạn nói ít hơn 5 câu thì khả năng cao bạn sẽ không có cơ hội để thể hiện vốn từ vựng và kỹ năng ngữ pháp của mình. Ngược lại, nếu câu trả lời của bạn quá dài, câu trả lời của bạn sẽ thiếu súc tích.

Tập trung trả lời câu đầu tiên thật chuẩn xác

Phương pháp Linearthinking tại DOL sẽ giúp bạn tránh trường hợp trả lời lạc đề bằng cách đưa ra câu trả lời đầu tiên bám sát câu hỏi nhất. Điều này giúp bạn thoải mái mở rộng các ý tưởng phía sau trong câu trả lời hơn mà không sợ lạc đề.

Đây chỉ là một số mẹo nhỏ bỏ túi cho các bạn ôn luyện cho kỳ thi IELTS. Điều quan trọng nhất vẫn nằm ở bạn, hãy tham gia kỳ thi Speaking với tâm trạng tự tin và là chính mình, đưa ra câu trả lời tự nhiên, trôi chảy và không cố gượng nói một accent không phải của bản thân. Điều này sẽ gây ấn tượng tốt với giám khảo và sẽ tăng khả năng đạt band điểm Speaking cao đấy.

Nếu các bạn đang gặp vấn đề hoặc khó khăn trong việc ôn luyện IELTS để phục vụ mục tiêu cá nhân, hãy mau chóng liên hệ DOL English để được kiểm tra trình độ tiếng Anh đầu vào, và rút ngắn thời gian tiến bộ nhờ vào phương pháp Linearthinking độc quyền tại DOL nhé.

Trong Phần 3 của bài thi Nói, thí sinh sẽ được khuyến khích thảo luận đầy đủ hơn về chủ đề từ Phần 2. Ở phần này thí sinh có thể được yêu cầu đồng ý hoặc không đồng ý về một tuyên bố. Hãy tận dụng cơ hội này để thể hiện sự đa dạng và khả năng kiểm soát ngôn ngữ của bản thân trong cuộc thảo luận hai chiều.
