深夜,環球教育(即環球雅思)林遷老師翻譯完稿件,腦海中總是反反覆覆的出現最近幾日不少7分奢華班的孩子們愛用“I think”的場景。為師者!良心活!筆者不得不說點什麼。
I think,這個詞倒不錯。可是在雅思口語考試ielts speaking test裡,overuse這個詞,你就犯了一個大忌了。
2017年雅思官方評分標準,一直在講“Don't overuse one word in ielts speaking test!!!”,這是最明瞭的解讀,今天老師就在此給大家一些純乾貨。別再用I think啦,否則你會一次次的讓雅思考官ielts speaking examiner感到索然無味了。
