　　雅思口语对于我们这些没有天时之势的大陆学生来说是整项考试中难度的一项。中国地区广阔，英文口音混杂，这在程度上又加大了我们应试的难度系数，那么这些不利因素应该怎样克服呢?首先提醒大家的是不要急于求成，踏实的走好每一步。下面北京新航道为您接好一些帮助您学习雅思口语的资料。同大家一起交流学习。

　　M: I call this meeting to order. Thank you all in attendance today, I know it's a busy day for you all. We have a lot of material to cover today. Did everyone get an agenda?

　　F: I need a copy of the agenda. Also, may I suggest something? I know we have many points to review today, but would it be possible to limit our meeting time to finish before four o'clock? Many of us still have a mountain of work to do before the day's end.

　　M: We should be able to finish everything up before then. Let's run through the major points first, and see where we're at. The first matter of business is to approve the minutes of our last meeting.

　　F: I propse we accept the minutes.

　　M: Good. Do I have a second?

　　F: I second.

　　M: motion carried. Now, next on our agenda is our budget review. Margaret, can you please fill us in on where the budget review stands?

　　F: I gave everyone a copy of the manual last week. We've had the review board going over everything, and they have come up with a final review. Here's a copy for everyone, and if you have any questions, you can talk to me after the meeting. Basically, the budget review has been completed, with maybe a few polishing details left.

　　M: What kind of action is required?

　　F: If everyone could take a look at the final review handout, if there're any objections or corrections, let me know. Next week, we can cast the final approval.

　　还需要我们做些什么?

　　如果大家能看看最终的评议材料,有什么反对意见或修改意见,要告诉我.下周我们通过最后的决议.

　　难点解析

　　I call this meeting to order.

　　Order 在此是指"会议的程序与规则";call 有"宣布"的含意,call (a meeting) to order 是开会时的惯用语,是"会议开始"的意思.此句型适用于主席宣布讨论要开始时,示意与会者安静,遵守会场的秩序.这里"call"亦可以"bring"代替.这个句型适用于正式的场合中.

　　如果与会者中有公司以外的人,可以这样说:

　　Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we should begin.

　　也可以采用半正式的说法:

　　Perhaps we'd better get started / down to business.

　　All right, I think it's about time we get started / going.

　　Right then, I think we should begin.

　　较口语的说法有:

　　Let's begin /get going, shall we?

　　Shall we start?

　　雅思老师提醒大家，如果在应试中意识到自己出现的小的语法问题，不必太紧张，及时的改正，保持一个放松的应试心情，不要影响自己接下来的考试。即便没有改正也无妨大局，毕竟，英国人自己说话的时候也可能结巴呢。只要保证流利，放松，取得好成绩不是什么难事。最后祝你考试成功!
