雅思口语考试考察学生英语使用准确度的同时，更重要的是考察学生的沟通能力。 我们都知道，沟通是双向的，有说者与听者。可是沟通成功与否，不是取决于说者说多少，而是取决于听者是否接收到说者的重点！

具体到雅思口语考试中，很多考生会说，我说了很多，我觉得我表达的也很流畅，可是为什么分数还这么低呢？原因之一可能就在于雅思考官没有接收到你说的重点。

今天我们就学习下如何提高雅思口语考试中的沟通力！

1. Listen well

The importance of listening in communication is enormous. People often focus on their speaking ability believing that good speaking equals good communication. The ability to speak well is a necessary component to successful communication. The ability to listen is equally as important. In IELTS Speaking Test, it is critical to listen to examiner`s questions before you answer to them, so that you know exactly what to response to those questions.

2. Make eye contacts

• To begin with, it’s polite to look at the person to whom you are speaking. Eye contact does not have to be constant, but do withhold a person’s gaze long enough to let your examiner know he or she has your undivided attention.
• In Western culture, people are taught to have good communication skills. Nonverbal skills, such as making good eye contact, shows you have confidence.

3. Express ideas clearly in words.

Generally speaking, the more words you use, the better the chance that you’ll confuse things. If you talk for half an hour, people might remember that you gave a speech, but if you speak for only five minutes, they’ll remember what you said. So make your points brief, logical and to the point.

Good Luck with your exam in 2010!
