考过雅思的同学大多有体会：口语考试现场的紧张感常常让人手足无措。和写作、阅读、听力这类可以独立完成的题型不同，口语考试是需要实时互动的交流场景 —— 虽说半开玩笑地说 “一半看考官，一半看临场发挥”，但核心还是得靠实力打底。
老师觉得，这种互动形式其实是在营造真实的交流氛围。如果平时练习口语时总是一个人埋头苦练，缺乏实际沟通经验，到了真实考场上难免会紧张，影响发挥。
为了帮大家在考试中保持流利度，下面分享一些实用的 “丝滑套句”（纯干货，建议收藏）！
考试中如果因为考官发音不熟悉、语速太快，或是考场环境嘈杂没听清问题，可以用这些句型礼貌询问：
- Could you repeat your question please?
- Sorry, I didn’t catch you. Could you say it again please?
- Sorry, could you slow down please?
- I’m so sorry, my mind just went blank. Would you mind saying that again please?
- Sorry, I can barely hear you. Could you speak a little louder please?
- Sorry, I didn’t catch you. Could you speak more clearly please?
如果考官用了陌生的词汇或表达，或者你不确定自己的理解是否正确，记得不要直接说 “repeat”，可以请考官换种方式解释：
- Would you mind saying it another way?
- Sorry, I don’t really understand. Could you rephrase your question please?
- I didn’t quite get it. Did you mean…?
- Could you please explain it to me in another way?
- Sorry, by xxxxxx, did you mean xxxxxx?
要是问题中出现了生词，先尽量记住它的大致发音，再用这些句子提问：
- I’m not exactly sure what you mean by + 生词.
- Sorry, what did you mean by + 生词？
- Sorry, 生词 – that’s a new word to me. What does it mean?
- Sorry, I didn’t quite catch the word you said before/after + 前后听懂的词汇.
考试中难免遇到完全不熟悉的话题，这时千万别不懂装懂 —— 大胆承认不了解反而更自然。雅思口语考察的是语言沟通能力，而非专业知识水平：
- I really know little about it, but I guess…
- Honestly, I have no idea about it.
- I’m not sure if I am correct, but I think…
- That’s an interesting/difficult/tough question. I’ve never really thought about it, but…
- I’ve never thought about that before.
- Well, I’m not an expert in such stuff, but I guess...
- I’m afraid that I’m not quite familiar with this topic, but perhaps…
紧张时 “嘴瓢” 很正常，只要及时补救就不会影响太多：
- I mean…
- …Or, should I say…
- …Or, rather…
- xxx would be more precise…
- Sorry, what I want to say is…
