雅思考官通常从以下四个方面来进行评分：

When you go into the speaking test, the examiner grades you in four areas:

FC--Fluency & coherence 流利度与连贯性

GA--Grammar Range & Accuracy 语法准确性与精确性

LR--Lexical Resource 词汇的丰富度

PR--Pronunciation 语音语调的流畅与清晰度

Now to be honest every examiner knows what the strong and weak areas are for Chinese students. They all know that LR, which we can also call vocabulary is generally their strong point and FC and PR are generally the weaker. That does not mean that all students will have the same problems. The average IELTS score for Chinese students is 5.5.

老实讲，雅思考官对于烤鸭的强弱项早就了然于胸了。中国烤鸭们都知道词汇是他们的强项，但是流利度、连贯性和语音语调却是他们的软肋。这并不是说每个学生都有这样的问题。中国烤鸭的平均雅思成绩是5.5.

The profile usually breaks down like this. Examiners called this a “jagged profile” because on a graph it looks like a jagged line。

中国烤鸭们的成绩呈锯齿状。考官们把这个叫“锯齿图式”，因为考鸭们的分数波动呈锯齿装。

FC 5 GA 6 PR 5 LR 6

If we take an average of these four scores we can see that is 5.5 score. This means that any strategy you use for passing the IELTS test should concentrate on FC and PR more than GA and LR. I am not saying that you should forget about GA and LR completely, just focus on the typical weak points。

四个分数平均一下就是5.5. 这就意味着如果你想拿到雅思高分，那么你的重心应该更多的放在流利度和连贯性、语音上面，而不是语法和词汇上面。

In the next few parts I will take a look at each area and discuss how you can increase your scores by looking at what examiners want. On the next page you can see a checklist of basic questions that you can ask yourself during the exam. If you can manage to pay attention to all of these points, then you are going to succeed on the exam。

接下来的几个部分，我会详细介绍一下如何准备每个部分，以“取悦”考官，从而拿到高分。在下一页是你考试时会被重点考察的一个系列的问题。如果你在参加考试时能注意到这些点的话，你距离高分可能就不远了。

A point that I want to remind you of, is that it is always your weak points that will pull you down, so remember to maintain your strong points, but really focus on your weak points so that everything evens out。

我想提醒烤鸭们，拉低你分数的是你的弱项而非你的强项。所以，记住要不断强化你的优势，同时还要重点改善你的弱点，这样最终才会有好的结果。

雅思考官在乎的17个口语得分点：

以下是雅思口语考试中最重要的得分点，大家可以对照下面的列表自我检查一下，看看还有哪些不符合：

对雅思口语考生的建议是根据以上的4个维度与17个得分点逐一进行练习。关于英语口语的提高办法是很多雅思考生特别头疼的问题。在雅思口语中，光靠机经很难拿到8以上的高分。所以还得靠平时的积累。

总之，雅思口语的高分需要的是坚持练习。态度比方法重要。英语这门相对简单的语言只要坚持去学了一定会好起来的。
