今天我給大家分享一下前雅思考官Simon解釋的雅思口語中需要使用的復雜結構問題。

IELTS Speaking: complex structures?

Students often worry that they need to use "complex structures" in the speaking test. But what is a complex structure?

簡單句：

A. Some students like to study in the mornings.

B. Juan and Arturo play football every afternoon.

C. Alicia goes to the library and studies every day

并列句：

A. I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to

speak English.

B. Alejandro played football, so Maria went shopping.

復合句：

A. When he handed in his homework, he forgot to give

the teacher the last page.

B. The teacher returned the homework after she

noticed the error.

C. The students are studying because they have a test

tomorrow.

D. After they finished studying, Juan and Maria went to

the movies.

并列句和復合句就是所謂的復雜結構，我們可以看出，復雜結構并不復雜。

考官建議：

Here's my advice: stop worrying about the need for "complex" grammar. Instead, focus on expressing your ideas well. As you explain your ideas in detail, you will naturally produce longer sentences which contain a variety of grammatical features.

很多同學在考場上努力說復雜句，結果是錯誤連篇，并表意不清，讓考官一頭霧水。實際上，真正難的是把話說簡單，把話說明白。我經常逼著學生說簡單句，拿個and進行連接就變成了并列句，句子也長了，話也說明白了。
