雅思口语中，除了形容词、副词能帮你提高分数外，恰如其当的使用部分短语动词也是能大大提高你的雅思口语分数的。雅思考官如是说：Bands 7 & 8 speakers can useidiomatic phrases（习语） quite well. Phrasalverbs (短语动词) are especially good examples of idiomaticphrases.  Even if you believe you are aBand 5.0 level English speaker, try to increase your knowledge of phrasalverbs.
