雅思|扣分扣惨了！考口语时，乱用“俚语”的后果很严重！( 三 ) 考试

如果英语母语者裸考参试，就很有可能因为过度使用非正式表达，
如乱用俚语或者当地方言而丢分。

如果是在雅思考试中，你给英国考官说一句，
i got pissed off或者 Good day (澳洲俚语），那他就很有可能因为听不懂直接扣分。
所以在考口语的时候不要炫你的俚语，就算你知道，很可能考官不知道啊。
记住，能不用俚语就不用俚语。

那又有烤鸭要问了：
不能用俚语那该用些什么表达来体现自己口语的地道呢？
考试中少用俚语（slang），适当用成语/习语（idioms）
在雅思口语测试中，如果考生想获得高分，想体现出自己在lexical resources方面具有较高的水平，
那么，除了适当运用less common words之外，最好还能准确运用一些idioms.
idioms是什么东西呢？我们可以把它理解成类似中文中的成语或俗语，
我们经常把它翻译成“习语”、“惯用语”或“成语” ，长度长一些的叫做 proverb(s) ，也就是“谚语” 。
这类的用语通常会使用较多比喻的手法↓

It’s raining cats and dogs. 下倾盆暴雨
Haste makes waste. 欲速则不达
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. 鱼与熊掌不可兼得
hit the road 是指离开，出发去某地;
miss the boat 是指错失良机；
hit the hay是指上床睡觉。

idioms的背后通常会有一个或一组有趣的典故；
或者idioms本身有一种隐喻的意味，比如 cat nap是指打个盹，
人就像猫一样懒洋洋地睡上一会儿。

最后给大家介绍几个适合在口语考试中使用的idioms ，一起来看
