对于很少开口讲英语的中国烤鸭们而言，雅思口语的难点在于：

一、没话说（特别是第二部分的卡片题，碰到不熟悉的，说不满一分钟）；

二、不知怎么说 (脑中出现的总是几个关键词而已，口头连词成句的能力还有欠缺，导致频繁出现broken English，即不成句的英语)。

以上这两点大大影响了口语成绩，均分全球垫底成为可能。而攻克这两大难点的通用武器便是——经典句型。语法知识告诉我们，英语中的三大从句各有用途。定语从句起修饰或包装的作用；名词性从句提供信息；状语从句补充说明，增加额外信息量。那么这三种从句是否也可以用在口语中并且发挥同样的用途呢？下面就从语法角度来感受英语从句在应对雅思口语考试三部分话题时的巨大威力。
 
一、        定语从句经典系列

①     (名词或代词) is the kind of (person/place/thing…) who (which/that) is…

②     (名词或代词) is a (person/ place…) who (which) gives you the impression of being…

③     (名词或代词)is one of the most (形容词) (名词) I have ever seen/met/known.

④     (地点名称) is a place where you can do sth.

⑤     (时间名词) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.

实例分析:

原句                                                          套用句型后
 
He is truly helpful.                           a. He is the kind of guy who is truly helpful.

                                               b. He always gives others the impression of being someone who is truly helpful.
 
Suzhou is ancient but also modern.             a. Suzhou is the kind of city which gives you the impression of being both ancient and modern. 

                                               b. Suzhou is a place where you can appreciate both the ancient culture and modern city lifestyle.
 
The film is interesting.                       a. This is one of the most interesting films I have ever seen.

                                               b. This is the kind of movie which blows your mind.
 
The party is exciting.                         a. This is the most exciting party I have ever attended.
 
                                               b. It’s a party that I will remember for the rest of my life.
 
On the weekend, I relax myself by reading.     Weekends are the time when I relax myself by reading.
 
说明：雅思口语话题频繁涉及人物，地点，物品，事件四大类，上表中的原句是在回答此类问题时多数考生使用的句型。其缺陷是过于简短，一不能体现语法优势，二不能凑字数争取时间。而套用句型后的表达效果就明显不一样了。可见，定语从句的使用在口语中可以起到“包装”作用。
