“烤鸭”们一定经常听到“听口不分家”的说法，但是如何实践却是无人问津。今天跟大家简单聊一下如何利用雅思听力练习口语。首先介绍一下练习材料就是雅思听力的Section2-3，因为这两个话题背景包括住房、旅游、找工作以及校园生活学习等话题，和我们口语的内容非常贴切。
练习的方向主要是两个：
1.理解并积累地道的英语表达方式。
2.纯正的英语发音，方法以及语音语调等。
简单来举个例子，我们看一下来自剑10T3S2和剑8T4S2的两小段内容。
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place. I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school. Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the moray Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them. I couldn't put the book down -I was hooked.

Yes. that's all sorted out now thanks It took long enough, though. It was practically a year ago that I applied to my local council for a grant, and it took them six months to turn me down.
And I thought I was eligible for government funding, but it seems I was mistaken. So then I asked the boss of the company I used to work for if they would sponsor me, and much to my surprise, he said they' d make a contribution. And in fact I didn't need to apply. My parents had been saying that as i already had a job, I ought to support myself through college. But in the end they took pity on me, so now I've just about got enough.
两段内容和我们雅思口语Part2的话题部分非常相似，以主人公的视角来介绍自己的某件事，解释事情发展的过程和内容，其中不乏地道的词汇词组表达以及时态的多样性，这也正是雅思口语的高分标准。接下来进行零件拆分环节：

时态：两段都主要为过去式，但是在短短的几个句子当中文章都有加入了另外一个时态，一、段是过去完成时，而第二段是过去完成进行时。
运用的方式和位置值得大家推敲学习，所以“烤鸭”也要注意，在口语表达过程当中，时态的多样性是非常有必要的，比如现在完成时以及过去完成时就可以很容易地结合内容阐述出来。
词汇/词组：
come across. 偶遇，无意中发现
Can 't put the book down 看到入迷
hooked 入迷上瘾的
sort out 解决
turn someone down 拒绝某人
eligible 有资格的

much to my surprise 出乎意料
took pity on someone 可怜某人
ought to 应当做某事
语法：段落中定语从句的运用，“烤鸭”们在解释某一件事或者某个人的时候可以很自然的利用从句，把更多细节和描述性内容加入进去，从而丰满了表达内容。
关于发音的练习，自然就是简单直接的跟读训练了。建议大家可以把等到内容拆分成独立的几个句子，每次刚开始只重复一个句子，注意尽量保证发音的速度，每个单词的读音以及整个句子的语音语调和录音原文一致。
可以把自己的发音录下来，然后再跟和录音原文进行比对，实际效果就可以非常客观的体现在大家面前了。句子训练完之后，大家就可以尝试整个段落甚至一篇文章的朗读了，不过同样要保证自己的语速语音语调。
