Of course, some roast ducks are really memorized, so put the examples in order and recite them word by word in case of emergency. Some of them are not memorized. They looked at the question bank, prepared hard and practiced repeatedly, just asking for fluent answers. In either case, once judged as "reciting" or "over-preparation" by the examiner, it is basically a failure.
Today, Langer's little secretary made a careful arrangement to tell you where the stuffing was missing from six aspects.
1. Speech speed
In fact, the speed of memorizing answers and improvising is very different. Take the card title as an example:
Many candidates speak slowly when answering basic questions, especially some slightly complicated questions, and there are many pauses, hesitations and repetitions. But when I got to the card questions I prepared, my speech speed improved obviously, and I rarely paused. It was simply a different person.
This is a clear "back answer", and the examiner will know that you are ready in advance. Moreover, the recitation marks are obvious, and the examiner may feel that he can't listen and interrupt you, and enter the third part of the improvement link in advance.
Another recitation trace is reflected in the change of speech speed. When we chat normally, the speed of speech will change. When you are excited, you will speak a little faster, but sometimes when it comes to key points or places that need to be remembered, your speech speed will slow down appropriately, which is a normal speaking habit. No one keeps a completely constant speed in daily communication.
Give a chestnut ~
Examiner: When did you start using social networking sites?
Candidate: Let me see. Well, maybe six or seven years ago, when I was still in high school. At that time, we had a popular social networking site called Renren, which was a bit like China's Facebook. However, it was not well managed, so I started using WeChat a few years ago. This is a real game changer. Everyone has moved to WeChat and its circle of friends, I mean everyone, literally.
Under normal circumstances, when we recall something, the speed of speech will always slow down unconsciously, for example, let me have a look; Well, there are specific figures, such as six or seven years. There are still some things to emphasize, such as this is a real game changer; I mean, everyone, literally, and so on. We should also slow down, because this is the embodiment of our emotions and feelings.
But if the speed of reciting words changes little, it will be more uniform ~
2. Phonetic intonation
I have seen a lot of roast ducks, and the pronunciation problems are quite obvious. Because when reciting, the roast duck is estimated to recognize only one point, that is, "this is a high score. If only I could recite it, don't worry so much!" "Therefore, the gerund forms of some words are pronounced differently (for example, present); The past tense looks the same now, but the pronunciation is different (for example, read); Others say lyrics (such as features) and so on.
Many test ducks don't care about the different pronunciations of these, but Barabara has memorized them. The examiner is not a vegetarian, I can hear that you are reciting the answer ~
There is also intonation. With a person's speech and emotional expression, his speech speed and tone will change. In Chinese, when it comes to happy and exciting things, the speed of speech will always increase, and sad and depressed things will make people's voices low. Imagine that you are like a robot from beginning to end, with no ups and downs, the same tone, and not a news broadcast. How can the examiner not doubt ~
Step 3 answer the question
In addition to speaking speed, answering thinking is also a channel for examiners to judge whether you recite. There are two main points that are most prone to reciting traces: inconsistency and irrelevant text.
Inconsistency: for example, when sports is the basic topic, roast duck may say that it doesn't like sports; But when you read an article about healthy living on the internet or in a magazine, or an activity you do to keep healthy, I become a fitness madman again ... this is really contradictory!
Irrelevant: The same is true, especially in P3, where many questions are asked by the examiner on impulse. Therefore, many roast ducks are smart enough to rephrase the examiner's questions into their own prepared topics and try to pull them up as much as possible. This procrastination, coupled with the examiner's examination of your speech speed, pronunciation and intonation, is likely to judge that you are reciting.
pause
I went to KFC/ordered/ate fried chicken/yesterday.
According to the logic of China people, this must have stopped according to the Italian group. If someone says: I went to Kende yesterday and ordered a fried chicken. It sounds awkward and strange. That's how the examiner feels when you recite the answer. Naturally, it is easy to judge that you are reciting. In fact, you don't even know what you said.
The longer the sentence, the more obvious the reciting trace will be. The correct way is to pause after chunks and after stressed words to be emphasized.
5. Speaking style
Some candidates' speaking styles are very literary, so sentences that use like writing are naturally likely to be judged by IELTS examiners as reciting answers. This phenomenon is quite obvious in some basic questions of IELTS speaking test.
Many test ducks are used to writing down the answers they think of when they see the IELTS speaking questions, but what they write correctly is generally more formal. But the IELTS speaking test examines your communication skills. It is unnatural for the examiner to communicate with the examiner with "written" answers. We can put ourselves in others' shoes. We generally don't speak Chinese in many written languages.
It is suggested that you can answer questions directly in the usual training, record at the same time, then convert the recording into words and modify and polish it yourself, which may be relatively better.
6. Physical exercise
Although the IELTS speaking test is mainly oral, it is judged by IELTS examiners. If you look at it for a while, the examiner will probably think that you are reciting the answer, so it will be better to look sincere and natural as much as possible.
For example, if you are too nervous to look at the examiner's eyes, look at his nose and add some body language appropriately. For example, if you say it is so big, you can gesture "so big" with your hand.
In addition, generally speaking, if you have a desire to communicate, your body will lean forward slightly to show interest in the conversation or you have a lot to express yourself ~ Roast duck should also pay attention to these details ~
After reading the above points, do you suddenly realize that there are so many details to pay attention to, or you will accidentally expose your "memorizing answers", but "memorizing" is also an inevitable practice for oral preparation. How can we prepare for the exam reasonably, and really combine "back" and "speaking" into our own content, presenting it perfectly and leaving no trace?
Have your own answer box.
Simply put, you can't copy hard, you can use prepared content, but only if you have your own answer frame and learn to extract good content into it, so that you won't feel stiff and embarrassed.
There is close answer logic.
For example, the third part is an in-depth discussion of the theme of the second part. Usually ask you some big social questions. Your return must be general before personal (general before personal). Never use what I think to express your personal opinion. Let's talk about what everyone agrees with first, and then talk about it separately, because the part 3 examiner just wants you to express your opinion, not just one or two sentences.
Pay attention to the style of oral presentation.
If your expression is particularly like "written English", it is likely to be judged as reciting. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the basic questions. The habit of many students is to "write down" their answers when they see the questions. "Written" is definitely much more formal than "said". Reciting "writing" good examples will definitely make the examiner feel unnatural. Therefore, in daily preparation, if you have the habit of writing first, you must record it again and try to be close to spoken English.
