雅思口语千万不要重复问题的开头，不仅考官非常讨厌，而且不能展现任何英语能力!学会以下4步，让你的开头句变得高大上!
问题诊断
P2和P3的开头只会用问题中的句子和词语来开头。
举个例子
1、Describe a place (city / town) that is good for people to live in
你的开头：I would like to talk about a place that is good for people to live in, which is Hangzhou.
2、What are the differences between cities and towns?
你的开头：The differences between cities and towns are...
这种重复问题的开头不能展现你任何的英语能力，而且考官也非常讨厌，容易给你打低分。
解决方法
解决办法——Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing是你用不同的表达方式，来表达相同的含义(不仅仅是同义词互换)。
以下4步即可做到Paraphrasing：
第一步：同义词替换
(用同义词替代句子或问题中的词语)
例子1
What are the advantages and disadvantages of learning in a group?
你说的：The advantages of learning in a group are...The disadvantages of learning in a group are...
我说的：The benefits of learning in a group are..…The drawbacks of learning in a group are...
◎advantages替换成benefits,
◎disadvantages替换成drawbacks
例子2
What is more important when choosing a job, high salary or interest?
你说的：When choosing a job.…
我说的：When seeking a career.…
◎choosing替换成seeking
◎job替换成career
第二步：语法替换
(用不同的语法形式来替换句子或问题中的句子，比如主动语态变被动语态，从句和不定式的互换)
例子1
Can talk with people improve social skills?
你说的：Yes, talking with people can improve social skills
我说的：Yes, social skills can definitely be improved by talking with people
◎把主动语态变成了被动语态
例子2
Do you think it is a good idea to let animals stay in local parks for people to see?
你说的：Yes, I think it is a good idea to let animals stay in local parks for people to see...
我说的：Yes, I think letting animals stay in localparks for people to see is a good idea.
◎把主语从句的位置前后调换
第三步：词性替换
(把句子或问题中的词语的词性改变一下，从而达到同义替换的效果，往往伴随着语法的改变)
例子1
Is money the only motivation for people to work hard?
你说的：Money is not the only motivation for people to work hard.
我说的：Money can motivate people to work hard,but it's not the only way.
◎名词motivation替换成动词motivate
例子2
How can people improve their collaboration skills?
你说的：There are many ways for people to improve their collaboration skills.
我说的：The improvement of collaboration skills can be done by...
◎动词improve替换成了名词improvement
第四步：多种Paraphrasing替换用
(单一种Paraphrasing并不是最好的，最好是能把多种替换用在一起)
例子1
Describe an indoor or outdoor place where it is easy for you to study
你说的：I would like to talk about an indoor place where it it easy for me to study.
我说的：
①I would like to talk about my study where provides me a simple space to read and study.
②There is a room for reading and studying in my house where I think is perfect for me.
例子2
Describe an important plant in your country
你说的：I'd like to describe an important plant in my country, which is bamboo.
我说的：
①I'd like to discuss bamboo, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also is a critical economic plant in my country.
②I want to talk about bamboo, a plant that is not only beautiful to look at, but also plays a crucial role in the economy.
更多例子：
1、What are the features of living in the countryside?
开头句：Living in rural area can have multiple benefits.
或者：Living in rural area can be beneficial in many aspects.
2、What rules should students follow at school?
开头句：The regulations are obeyed by students at school are…
或者：There are various regulations to obey at school for students...
或者：The regulations that need to be followed by students are...
Paraphrasing的重要性
01
Paraphrasing在雅思口语中的重要性在于你能用不同的语言形式包括词汇、语法以及词性的转换来表达同一个意思，能让考官觉得你的语言能力在各个方面都是比较强的。
02
Paraphrasing在写作中是你想要使用其他作者的想法，但你改变了那个作者的词句。也就是说，意思相同但用不同的词句表达。
Paraphrasing在论文写作中能比较好的避免plagiarism抄袭。雅思写作中开头可以用题目中的句子，但一定要Paraphrasing!
练习建议
可以一步一步练习，先从换同义词开始，再到换语法，再到换词性，最后把全部都结合起来，完成Paraphrasing
