導語：在雅思口語第二部分的考試中，我們開始論述前會有一分鐘的時間用考場提供的鉛筆和紙去做一個outline。但是在考場臨時想ideas一定不是一個明智之舉。建議考生一定要在入考場前做好充分準備，然後才能在一分鐘內很快列出提綱。幫助自己在真正論述的過程中保持思路的清晰。
在我們列提綱的時候一定要抓住結構和關鍵詞。在有限的時間裡，我們首先要保證結構和思路的清晰。首先在考場中要確保有話可講，而且有條理可尋。其次，我們在記錄思路的時候只能記下關鍵詞，一般來說關鍵詞首先是名詞，然後是形容詞，偶爾也會加入一些動詞。也就是說最為重要的是名詞。
其中如果涉及到邏輯概念或拓展概念則可用符號表示以節省時間。我們不必要去記很多的速記符號來加重自己的記憶負擔，而且每個人也可以根據習慣的不同選擇自己喜歡的符號。在這裡，給大家介紹幾個比較常用的符號形式供大家參考。
否定 | × | 導致，目的 | → |
因為 | ∵ | 所以 | ∴ |
列舉 | … | 舉例 | eg |
轉折，讓步 | 類比 | ＝ | |
正面 | ＋ | 負面 | － |
對比 | 重點 | esp |
其實提綱就是關鍵詞加上用符號表示的邏輯關係和拓展關係。在我們成功列出提綱之後就要用英文連線詞將其還原成完整的句子。其實口語中的提綱是聽力提綱的逆向運用。聽力中要求將一段話以提綱的形式做簡要記錄，而口語中則要求將提綱還原成一段話。這時我們需要有連詞成句的能力，將關鍵詞以邏輯關係串連成句子，而這種邏輯關係其實也就是答案的拓展技巧。當然，這些邏輯關係也可以通過句子直接表達，關係詞並不是必須的，而是一種很好的選擇。
在口語中的連線詞和常用的拓展關係詞不需要用的非常難，只需要記一些常用的就可以了。
× | not, hardly, rarely | → | lead to, result in, contribute to, give rise to in order to, so that, to |
∵ | because, since, for, due to because of, owing to | ∴ | thus, therefore, as a result |
… | such as, including, no matter…or, whether…or | eg | for example, for instance, take…as an example |
although, but, though, yet, however, on the other hand, on the contrary, in spite of, despite | ＝ | as, like, similar to, in the same way, just like, just as | |
＋ | advantage, benefit, merit, upside, plus point | － | disadvantage, drawback, problem, demerit, downside, minus point |
compared with, different from, beat, in contrast | esp | Actually, in fact, especially, indeed, sure, without any doubt, best of all, worst of all |
{真題回放}
Describe one of your favorite dishes. You should say: From whom you learnt to cook it. How this dish is cooked. Who you usually cook for. And explain why you enjoy it. |
Steamed fish:
1. cook steamed fish; parents’ house, miss → ask to teach
I am not much of a cook, but I do cook one dish well—steamed fish…When I moved out of my parents’ house, I missed it so much that I asked mom to teach me how to cook it.
在這裡我們可以先用反襯的手法來突出清蒸魚是我的拿手菜。所以在提綱中顯示了一個讓步。還原到口語中則用了but進行了連線。接下來論述自己非常想念清蒸魚的`味道，從而要母親教我如何烹飪。在原文中以so…that來做成連線。 easy
fish, live, fresh; ingredient…
procedure… fish, ginger, spring onions, mushrooms, chili;
dish, soy source, water, rest of ingredients;
rack, wok
提綱中的ingredient…和procedure…提示要列舉配料和製作方式，在這裡沒有用連線詞表示，而是用句子直接論述了。
You also need ginger, spring onions, mushrooms and chili. First, clean the fish, cut the stalks of spring onions to almost 2 inch lengths, slice ginger and cut up mushrooms and chilies…
當然，我們也可以用連線詞表述，如：You also need to prepare all the ingredients, including ginger… special occasion… ∵ friend, family;
steaming → flavor;
healthy
steamed fish junk food, takeaway
Fish is a dish that the Chinese usually make on special occasions. I continue cooking the steamed fish on birthdays, parties and festivals because my family and friends loves it. Steaming is the purest way to cook fish to bring out the delicate sweet flavor of it. Plus, it is healthy. It sure can beat any junk food or crappy takeaways.
在這裡occasion…的拓展也沒有使用連線詞，而是在句子中直接體現了。當然，我們也可以把它改成：Fish is a dish that the Chinese usually make on special occasions such as birthdays, parties and festivals.
列好提綱對於第二部分的考題迴應是非常重要的第一步。如果我們在有限的時間裡很好的完成了這個步驟就能確保自己回答時邏輯清晰，思路順暢。同時學習一些常用的拓展方式能夠非常有效的組合句子，提高回答的質量。
