What speaking ability does a score of IELTS Band 7.5 represent?
Watch this Speaking test sample, where Aashish from Nepal talks about 'Work, friends, food, and cooking'. Here's why this performance was given a Band 7.5:
This test taker speaks fluently and he engages with the questions without any obvious effort. There is only occasional hesitation, repetition, and self-correction, which is mostly content-related and only rarely to search for language. His relaxed delivery is supported by his flexible use of markers (I am both; basically; as well as; every now and then; that would be French).
His vocabulary is sufficient for him to engage with a variety of topics and he demonstrates an ability to use idioms and collocations with some sense of style and skill. However, he makes a number of inappropriate vocabulary choices (all over the place; that’s not just my cup of tea; someone to confront and talk to; I haven’t got a chance), which restricts his rating on this criterion.
He has a wide range of grammatical structures at his disposal and the majority of sentences are error-free. Even when errors do very occasionally occur (I work part-time as well as a student; it just does not come into me), they do not detract at all from meaning.
He uses a wide range of pronunciation features and is able to use stress and intonation effectively. There are just a few lapses and very occasionally sounds are poorly formed (bot for ‘both’; vent for ‘went’), but overall, his accent has only minimal effect on intelligibility.
雅思7.5分代表什么口语能力?
请看这篇口语测试样本,来自尼泊尔的Aashish谈到了 工作、朋友、食物和烹饪。这就是为什么这个表现能得到7.5分的原因。
这位考生说得很流利,而且他在回答问题时没有明显的努力。只有偶尔的犹豫、重复和自我纠正,这大多与内容有关,只有很少的情况下才会去寻找语言。他轻松的表达方式得益于他对标记词的灵活运用(我既是;基本上;也是;时不时;那就是法语)。
他的词汇量足以让他参与各种话题的讨论,他表现出了使用成语和搭配的能力,有一定的风格和技巧。然而,他做出了一些不恰当的词汇选择(到处都是;那不只是我的一杯茶;有人要对抗和交谈;我没有机会),这限制了他在这个标准上的评分。
他掌握的语法结构范围很广,大部分句子都没有错误。即使偶尔会出现错误(我既是学生又是兼职,只是我没有想到),也完全不影响意思。
他运用广泛的发音特点,能够运用重音和语调 有效。只是有一些失误,非常偶尔的声音是差的。形成的(bot为 都;vent为 去),但总体而言,他的口音只有最小的。
