其实在雅思备考期间，尤其是口语部分，学习一些固定表达和连接词是很多雅思考生备考口语的步。恰当使用这些表达能提升考试表现，获得考官的青睐，从而获得高分。但是提醒大家一定不要背整套的答案，应该学习并练习使用功能语言(functional language)来谈论各种常见话题，加入自己的元素，将固定的东西融合成自己的东西。
功能语言：用于提示听者你要说什么(应题)，例如想说“sad”，可以用副词unfortunately开头，想表达个人观点，可以用“I personally feel that...”来提示听者你要是要发表看法。功能语言有助于组织想法和观点、表达感受，从而提升流利和连贯程度，让考生在口语考试中显得更自然。
正确使用功能语言，就能让考官更容易理解你的想法，从而促进考场发挥，同时也可以提升词汇表现。以下为雅思口语考试各题型常用的功能语言，有兴趣的朋友一起来看看吧。
1、个人经历类：可用于P1和P2
P1的话题都是关于个人情况的，会涉及对以往经历的描述;P2有些话题需要谈论个人经历。不要觉得P1简单就可以随便说，应用多种方式谈论你的个人经历，展示语言丰富性：
I once…I remember when…Back when I was…I don’t remember exactly when, but…(Just) the other day…In my childhood...
2、表达个人观点：替换I think
雅思口语考试会涉及很多需要表达个人想法的题目，以下短语可以帮你替换掉I think，向考官展示语言灵活性：
I believe…
In my opinion…
It seems to me that…
From my perspective
As I see it…
当对某个特定话题的态度比较肯定时，可以用以下表达：
I’m convinced that…
I’m certain that…
I’m sure that…
I know for a fact that…
There’s no way that…
3、谈论可能性：P2/P3
在P2和P3，会出现关于未来和可能性的问题，需要对一些你不确定的事情进行猜测、估计、推测。当你对某个话题缺乏了解的时候，也可以用下列表达来开始回答：
I’d say…I guess…Perhaps / Maybe…It’s possible…I would imagine that…Well, if I think about...It might/may...
4、同意/不同意：P3很多问题需要对某个观点表态，以下表达可以帮助你提升语言的丰富度：
同意：
Yes, absolutely.Absolutely, I wholeheartedly agree with that.You’re absolutely right.No doubt about it.You have a point there.Exactly.不同意：I’m afraid I disagree.That’s not always the case.That’s not always true.I’m not so sure about that.I don’t think so.折中：Well, I can see both sides.I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with this.Both sides have advantages, but I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
5、比较和对比
口语题目会涉及对人物、事物、事件、地点进行比较，比如过去和现在，男人和女人，你国和他国，等。回答好这类题目，需要掌握用于表达比较的语言，比如比较级taller than, more important than, better than等。也可以在此基础上使用副词，让你的表达更准确，例如a bit further than, significantly higher than, far more interesting than. 以下分类列举回答比较/对比类题目的常用表达：
无区别/区别不大：
as + adjective + as：Studying Engineering is not as difficult as I thought it would be.
same + noun + as：We bought an apartment in the city for the same price as our previous house.’
similar to：I’m very similar to my best friend in many aspects.
much the same：All language schools in the area are much the same.
区别大/没法比：
no comparison：There’s no comparison. Online shopping is far more convenient than in-store shopping.
对比：
compared to：Dogs are so much friendlier compared to cats.’
in contrast to：Living in the city has many advantages in contrast to living in the countryside.’
6、请考官重复
口语考试时如果有某个词没听懂，可以请考官重复，如果整个问题没听懂，也可以请考官改述。相关表达如下：
重复：
Could you repeat that, please?
Could you say that again?Sorry, I didn’t catch that.Sorry, I didn’t understand the question.改述：Could you rephrase that, please?Could you explain the question, please?Would you mind explaining what you mean by?
