今年从一月份以来，很多“烤鸭”发现这样一个惨痛的现实，那就是似乎大家想在雅思口语中拿高分越来越难了。那么到底你输在哪里了？如何才能破解高分的密码？

　　环球教育马敏老师认为首先我们输在了逻辑方面，因为外国人的逻辑比较清晰、简洁，所以他们更希望我们不要绕圈子(beat around the bush)，而是希望我们的回答都是单刀直入的（come to the point）。其次，对词汇的要求是，多使用less common words，即不常用的词。今天我们先从逻辑方面感受一下考官心目中的高分答案吧！

　　逻辑方面

　　我们都知道中国人的谈话中逻辑性不强，往往表现为“想到哪说到哪”，或者“形散而神不散”。

　　比如：中国考生在回答下面的问题时，有可能是这样的情况：

　　问题：Why are young people not willing to live with old people？

　　常见回答：They want to have privacy. Old people may get up early. Young people want to stay up late. They have different lifestyle and living habits.

　　但是在英文的语言体系中，逻辑是很重要的。而逻辑连词就仿佛街道里的路标，随时指导行人的方向。所以我们应该在口语回答中大量使用各种连接手段，以到达考官对coherence方面的要求。此外，这样做的好处还包括让自己的回答更清晰明了，也就是“understandable”。

　　试比较

　　问题：Why are young people not willing to live with old people？

　　常见回答：They want to have privacy. Old people may get up early. Young people want to stay up late. They have different lifestyle and living habits.

　　较为理想的回答：总分结构+对比论证。

　　总句：Well，I guess there are several reasons for that.

　　分句一：First，as for young people， they prefer to have their own privacy and personal space so that they could do whatever they want.

　　分句二：Besides，their lifestyle is different as they have obvious generation gap. For example， youngsters may get up at lunchtime if they do not need to work， while elders are early risers.

　　分句三：Moreover，they share different values of life. The younger generation may spend a large amount of money on electric device，cosmetics and so on， whereas older people will hardly do that. Therefore，if they live together， more conflicts may occur.

　　下面，笔者跟各位“烤鸭”列出了几个万能的总结句，以便帮助大家学习英文中的总分逻辑关系。
