【Josh教你说人话】雅思口语非常见词汇–11

雅思官方口语评分标准在“单词L&R”里面7分标准的一项评分细则：“Uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary and shows some awareness of style and collocation”
这里面“less common”是不常见的意思，“idiomatic vocabulary”是习语惯用语的意思，“collocation”是搭配的意思。 所以由此不难看出，雅思官方在口语中对大家的词汇使用是有一定的要求的。
那么是不是我们就该用大词？其实不是的，”非常见单词“的意思是“在生活当 中常见，但是不经常使用的词汇”，比如有一种水果叫做“菠萝蜜-jackfruit”，绝大部分的考生都吃过，但是不会用英文说，因为我们平时学习英文单词的范围覆盖不到这个领域。但是这个词绝对不是一个大词，而这种词汇，却是雅思口语高分考生必备的绝杀词汇！现在考试热题"tell me about your favourite fruit"，在大家都说"banana, apple"的时候，你能用“jackfruit”和其他考生拉开层次，那一定就是高分了。
下面补充一些在口语中常见的“非常见词汇和地道的用法
