雅思：考口语时说得太简单？试试完成时态吧！

在口语考试当中，有的烤鸭能够基本上保持流利度，基本准确运用自己学过的单词短语，却永远5.5，无法达到6分的目标。短期内又要参加下一次考试，想要系统提高发音水平是非常困难的，那么该怎么办?

——憋着急!从评分标准来看，占1/4的语法，也是一个比较简单的突破点哦!时态、语态、句型，可以运用的技巧很多，各位看官不妨从完成时态开始，仔细研究一番。

我们往往被告知，在雅思口语当中，越简单的答案，越能够得到考官的青睐。K.I.S.S(Keep it simple stupid)原则也深深为广大烤鸭认同。把考官当做一个6岁的孩子来和其聊天，也不失为一种将难题简化、深入浅出的极佳方式。但是，如果从头到尾用简单句——万年不变的一般现在时、主谓宾结构、主动语态，是很难刺激考官听觉的。这种simple，并不是keep it simple中的simple。Simple的正确打开方式：加入多样化的语法结构和表达方式。这并不意味着让答案变得complex，而是impressive and unique。

看完以上案例，各位烤鸭还觉得，用多样化的语法会让答案变复杂吗?有木有觉得，有变化的时态比起单一的时态形式更能够吸引听者(考官)的注意呢?特别是在下半场，考官接近睡眠状态或者饥肠辘辘时，有木有发现这些不一样的内容才能够刺激TA的听觉，让TA暂且忘记疲惫和饥饿——来认真和你唠嗑?

当然，仅仅从一个方面努力是远远不够的!!

想要用好多样化的时态并吸引考官的注意力，首先要保证基本时态不犯或者少犯错误。用反复的录音和练习来纠正低错;然后熟悉所有的考题(如果对话题不熟悉，却一味地追求语法的花样，也许会适得其反的!)。

总之，首先要认真备考，扎实刷题，规避语法错误。然后在熟悉话题和流利度达标的基础上，多积累多操练，提升语法的多样性，达到提分的效果。加油!
