Inadequate/Inappropriate Vocabulary
“四宗罪”之二：词汇匮乏不当
Some candidates believe that they should use very academic words in the speaking test. This is very wrong. To begin with, candidates need to ensure they communicate their response to the examiner rather than relying on fancy adjectives.
If a candidate uses impressive vocabulary to talk about fruit and vegetables, then they are very wrong because that type of language is inappropriate. That is, the examiner might have no real idea of your meaning. On the other hand, you will get points if you use “impressive” vocabulary appropriately and show that you know the exact meaning of these words.
Candidates often forget to use a variety of words from the basic, everyday language to a more sophisticated level – as long as the sophisticated language is appropriate. That is, you are discussing the importance of money or the environment. Then the examiner might expect to hear, “The current financial crisis has caused a significant amount of turbulence in the financial sector”. Similarly, something such as, “Environmental issues continue to hassle governments around the globe nowadays”.
Moreover, candidates infrequently use phrasal verbs, which are a very common part of spoken English. Phrasal verbs are excellent examples of idiomatic language styles. Examples such as: ‘look after’ (somebody); ‘come up against’ (difficulties); ‘look forward to’ (something in the future) are very good resources for candidates.
Candidates also forget to use adjectives to describe feelings and emotions. This means the examiner is unclear about what you think and feel about what you are talking about. Some worthy examples of useful adjectives include: disappointed, embarrassed, fascinated, annoyed, inspired, thrilled, exhilarated, overwhelmed, delighted, disillusioned, astonished, appalled, mystified, relieved.
As well as that, many candidates fall short in describing qualities of individuals. To use an accurate adjective here will help the examiner understand a candidate’s answer more concisely.
