雅思口语评分标准
雅思口语评分标准分为四大部分，分别为：f，v，g，p

f：即fluency，就是你的口语流畅度。如果在考官问你问题的时候，你可以很流畅地回答，期间没有明显停顿，或没有明显思考的停顿的话(如果用时间计算的话，大概《5秒吧)，那么恭喜你，你在f这个部分，至少有6分。

v：即vocabulary，就是你说口语时所用到的词汇。其实，在这部分，一般很容易拿到6分的，只要你不要用错词汇。而且，在考口语时，也不需要你说一些多难多深奥的词汇，只要说一些一般的语汇就ok了。总结：词汇一定用你熟悉的，简单也无所谓，只要没用错，你肯定在这部分至少有6分。

g：即grammar，就是你说口语时所说到的语法。如果你的语法出了一些错误(少量的)，那么你还是可以得到6分的。但是，一但语法错得比较多(占4成左右)，那么你就肯定在这部分的得分少于6分了。另外，如果你基本上没有语法出错，你在这部分拿7分也是容易的事。主要要注意的语法是：一般过去时和一般现在时单三。

p：即pronunciation，就是你的口语发音了。现行的口试评分中，对于发音的评分，考官根据9级发音评分量表给出2分、4分、6分、8分四种评分结果。
