如何准备雅思口语题卡

如何准备雅思口语题卡

面对Part 1的新题还可以自己“胡诌八扯”一下，但是碰到新的Part 2题卡就显得毫无头绪，“两眼一抹黑”了。那么如何准备雅思口语题卡呢?

雅思口语Part 2题目当中有一道题目是：

Describe a decision that made by others that you disagreed with.

You should say:

What the decision was

How it was made

What you disagreed with

And explain why you disagreed with it

题目的意思是让大家描述一个“你不同意的别人做的决定”，大家看到这个题卡时，是不是感到很眼熟?没错，这个题卡跟我们去年出现的“Describe a difficult decision you made.【你做的一个困难的决定】”很相似，只是题干和要求有点不同。

去年出现的题目原题是：

Describe a difficult decision you made.

You should say:

What the decision was about

How you made your decision

What the results of the decision were

And explain why it was difficult to make

两道题目都是“决定”，一个是“你不同意的决定”，另一个是“你做的决定”，换句话说，是“你同意的决定”，乍一看是完全相反，“八竿子打不着”的两道题目，但是仔细分析一下就会发现两者的共通点。

我们回想一下，去年大家准备“你做的决定”的时候，很多同学的思路是“要不要出国留学”，“要不要换工作”，“假期到底干嘛好”之类的让自己“两难”的决定。就以“要不要出国留学”这个答案来说吧，让自己“两难”的原因一般都是因为有一个跟自己唱反调的人来反对自己，才会需要自己经过“深思熟虑彻夜难眠冥思苦想各种权衡”之后才做的决定，那么大家要做的事，就是要解释为什么这个决定这么难了，其实就是分析一下在国内呆着和出国深造分别的利弊。同理，“别人做的决定”可以是让我出国留学【一般是父母的决定】，“我不同意”的理由肯定是出国留学有利弊了。我们先来看看出国留学的pros and cons。

出国的好处常见的大概是以下几点：

1. be able to see the world = to travel widely and gain wide experience

2. have the chance to experience different styles of education

3. improve our language skills

4. bring out your independent nature

留在国内深造的好处【不出国留学的原因】也有很多，比如：

1. don’t need to be far away from your family

2. don’t have to spend all your parents’ savings on tuition

3. don’t have to face the challenge of studying difficult courses in a second language

4. be able to fit in with schoolmates and professors in college much easier and quicker

5. be less likely to feel lonely and helpless because your family and friends are only a cheap flight-ticket away

阐明利弊，同学们的思路是不是就比较明确了?这不仅仅是一个让你深思熟虑“做的决定”，同时，也可以是“你不同意的别人做的决定”【父母觉得出国留学好，你不同意】，而且我们可以顺便把别的Part 2题卡如“Describe an important talk”也一起搞定，因为这么重要的决定，肯定是要跟家人朋友好好商量，总结起来，我们就可以在之前准备的这个Part 2答案上稍微修改一下，回答可以这么说【粗体和下划线部分是针对不同题目的修改部分】：

Well, a decision that made by others that I disagreed with/the most difficult decision I’ve ever made was whether or not I should study abroad next year. / Well, the most important talk I had so far was with my parents about whether or not I should study abroad next year.

In the recent couple of years, there’s this growing tendency among high school graduates to embark on a study abroad program. My parents wanted me to/I’ve always wanted to do the same, because it’s a good opportunity to see the world, to experience different styles education, and to improve my language skills. And for a girl who has never been far away from home, studying in a foreign country might bring out my independent nature.

But I totally disagreed with their decision. /I need to give it some careful thought before I could make the decision. I told my parents who are both open-minded about my opinions, and pointed out some disadvantages of studying overseas.

I told my mother that being in a new place by myself could be overwhelming sometimes, and it tests my ability to adapt to diverse situations. And it’s highly possible that I would feel lonely and helpless every so often, because all of my close friends and family members are on the other side of the world. I would be completely on my own, and basically everything I took for granted in the past would then be a challenge, like paying bills, opening bank accounts, communicating with fellow students, and the list goes on and on.

All of a sudden, my parents/I felt stuck. All those challenges sounded terrifying, but they really didn’t want me /I really didn’t want to give up the opportunity. They suggested me to weigh up /I weighed up the pros and cons carefully, and after some serious consideration, I finally disagreed with them. /I finally made up my mind. / I believe this talk really means a lot.

从上面的例子大家可以发现，只要列出“决定”的pros and cons, 不管是自己同意的也好，自己不同意的也罢，最终答案都是“有理有据”的，然后再根据题目细节的不同，改编一下衔接的句子，时刻“扣题”，不要跑题，那么很多貌似“毫无头绪”的Part 2新题都“迎刃而解”了。

仔细回忆一下，今天讨论的这个“Describe a decision that made by others that you disagreed with”不仅和之前的“Describe a difficult decision you made”相似，和“Describe an important talk”雷同，也和之前出现过的“Describe an advice from others”和“Describe a future plan”都有异曲同工之妙。

所以同学们在准备Part 2的时候，不妨大胆展开思路，双向思考一下同一个问题的好与坏，这样准备充分了，就不怕遇到“无话可说”的情形了。

雅思口语如何积累单词

一、善于利用零散的时间

很多烤鸭在雅思备考中花了大量的时间背单词，这样单项的备考时间就十分紧迫，往往导致备考效率极低。记单词一定要集中大量的时间吗?当然不是，其实只要大家善于合理利用零散的时间，积累雅思词汇的效果会很惊人。

1、卡片法

所谓卡片法就是将雅思词汇写在卡片上，随身携带，在等车、课间或者午休时方便随时翻看、记忆。用这种方法需要注意以下几点：

【1】一张卡片上只写一个单词，正面写英文，反面写中文意思，以不能直接瞄到答案为原则。

【2】不要贪多，一次不能背太多个，容易搞混，因此必须常常复习。

【3】背单词最忌“常立志，发宏愿”，愿太大不仅自己没办法负荷，还会打击信心;反而是应该“立志长”，维持背单字的信念，持续不断地背下去。这样才能够真正达到“充分利用零散时间”的目的。

2、四面楚歌法

所谓“四面楚歌”法，就是在每个看得到的地方都放一个记不下来的难词。这种方法主要用来复习明明背过好几次却完全想不起来雅思词汇。用这种方法需要注意以下几点：

【1】单词的字体要大，一定要保证可以看得清楚。

【2】让单词出现在绝对有时间、绝对看得到的地方。

二、掌握正确的学习方法

雅思词汇的有效积累需要掌握正确的方法，否则就会事倍功半，无法达到预期的效果。在记单词时，对于不同类型的词汇需要大家分别采用不同的方法。

1、直观的词

这里所说的直观的词除了简单词以外，还包括由简单词派生出来的词，比如methodology表示“方法论”，minimize表示“最小化”;前后缀特别明显的词，比如inevitable表示“不可避免的”，incompetent表示“无能力的”，undesired表示“不想要的”;合成词，比如counterproductive表示“反效果的”;和已知单词长得很像的词，无所谓科学不科学，比如dreadful表示“可怕的”，和dead很像，imitate表示“模仿”，和similar很像。诸如此类的词汇，大家可以找到和一些比较常见的简单词汇的相似之处，这样记忆起来会加深印象，不容易忘记。

2、发音独特的词

发音独特的词包括谐音法的词，比如merchandise表示“商品”，发音像“摸钱袋子”;音译词，比如intelligence表示“智力”，是“因特尔”的商标来源;发音独特的外来语，比如entrepreneur表示“企业家”，来自法语;含义不好并且“难听”的词，比如harsh表示“严厉的”。

这里解释一下最后一种“难听的词”。其实单词的发音无所谓好听与难听，但正因为某个词有不好的意思，让我们感觉不好听，既然这样，我们直接把意思不好的词往难听的角度去联系，不断地“恶心”地想象这个词，最后只要有不好的感觉就是记住了。比如The climate there is very harsh和We have had an extremely harsh winter这两个句子，我们自然可以翻译成“恶劣的气候”和“严酷的冬天”，只要知道含义不好就能理解句子。

3、配套词

配套词指的是一些词形成了整个含义范畴，这些词通常具有类似的拼写，或是反义词，放在一起比较好记，如果不讲全，会给人一种不完整的感觉。比如 carnivore表示“食肉动物”，herbivore表示“食草动物”，omnivore表示“杂食动物”;再比如perceptual cognition【感性认知】，intellectual cognition【知性认知】，rational cognition【理性认知】分别表示对事物认知的三个层次。再如horizontal【水平的】，vertical【垂直的】。

4、近义词

这里所说的近义词的范围比较广泛，很多词之间只是含义部分重合，我们也可以按照这个方法来记忆。这些近义词在不去了解他们相互之间区别的情况下是比较容易记住的。例如：

明显的 adj. apparent，clear，distinct，evident，manifest，obvious，patent，plain

真正的 adj. authentic，genuine，real

荒谬的 adj. absurd，ridiculous

雅思口语如何扩展答题思路

一、分情况讨论法

话题：How do people in China feel about old buildings?

解析：首先我们可以用建筑的不同用途来对旧建筑进行分类，出于不同的目的，人们对旧建筑的态度和感受也就不一样。一般来说，姜是老的辣，酒是陈的香，所以有经典风格的建筑是会受到政府以及群众的保护的;而商品楼或是住宅楼则会随着时代变迁日新月异地更新下去。此理放诸四海而皆准，但要切题，不要忘记在答案中加上in China或者是in my countries这样的同义替换。

Different purposes:

—commercial use, residential buildings

—historical meaning

参考答案：

Well, people might think differently in different situations. For instance, if the buildings have been used for commercial purpose in a long term, like shopping malls or residential buildings, then people in China will tend to put it down after it gets old. Because it might notsatisfy the businessman’s needs any more.

On the contrary, the out-of-date buildings are more likely to hinder the further development of a company. However, those buildings with historical meanings will probably be treasured by Chinese people. The government, as well, will also try their best to protect the old valuable buildings. The ancient ones can either be conserved for academic research or be opened for visitation.

二、分层法

话题：How do people in China feel about old buildings?

解析：同样是刚才这个题目，如果按照分层法来把主体人分为不同的层次，那么我们又会得到不同的答案。例如按照人的年龄来分，年轻人和年长者对旧建筑的看法又是有所不同的。大多数年轻人是喜欢追求时尚的、西化的、现代的东西，对于建筑也是一样;而对于年长者来说，旧事物更有怀念的价值，是他们最为珍惜的东西。

Different ages:

—the young, be keen on fashionable and modern buildings

—the old, like things to stay the same

参考答案：

Well, it depends. You know, people of different age have different tastes about buildings. Young people, who chase after fashionable and modern things, have little passion for the old building. Because they think it’s out of date and therefore they prefer to go to all those advanced and multi-functional buildings rather than visit the old and less developed ones. For the old, on the contrary, old buildings carry lots of memories, which they cherish more than anything. They find it so difficult to move out from a place where they have spent most of their life.

三、观点加细节

话题：Is it important to preserve old buildings? Why?

解析：这个问题并不适合分类讨论和分层的方法，一开始我们就要给出直截了当的yes or no的回答。然后继续扩充我们的思路来回答why的提问。在雅思考试中我们倾向于给出积极的答案，所以这里肯定的回答是选择，然后从文化、艺术、国家软实力各个方面分述原因，补充相应的细节。

Yes.

—respect the traditional culture

—a form of art

—a country’s soft power

参考答案：

Yes, I believe so. First of all, the old buildings represent the traditional culture of our country. 【Opinion1】 We can learn more about our history by enjoying the ancient architecture. 【detail】 Also, the old buildings are a marvelous form of art. 【Opinion2】 They enable us to learn more about architecture and its different styles. 【detail】 Besides, the old building shows a country’s soft power. 【Opinion3】 It makes our country more competitive in the world. 【detail】

四、个人经历

话题：Do you think you were more creative when you were young?

解析：当问及跟个人有关的信息时，烤鸭们就可以放心大胆地打资历牌了，把个人经历经过加工呈现到考官面前。人小的时候不谙世事，认知范围也有限，但想象力丰富，不受现实的左右和束缚所以更有创意一些，长大了之后想法就变得更加实际，思维也会相应受阻，创造力也会下降。

Yes.

—rich imagination, dream to be a scientist, an astronaut, a doctor and so on.

—more practical, more understanding and knowledge of the world.

参考答案：Yes, I think so. 【先明确自己的观点】When I was still a child, I have rich and even wild imagination. 【开始陈述幼年时的人生经历】Once I dreamed to be a scientist so that I can invent new robot to replace workers in the factories. I also imagined being a female astronaut one day, sailing in the space and maybe never come back. There were many other wild dreams which were various and creative. But as I grow older, I began to think otherwise.【此处开始转折，进入less creative的人生经历】 I have become more practical now, because I have got more understanding of the world.

Now I know myself better than before. I know what I can do and what I can’t. And everything I do now is done for a reason. Sometimes I can’t even choose the life I like, let alone lead a creative life. So when I was young my world is still filled with creative and fantastic ideas. But not now, not any more.【最后总结句，重申一下自己的观点，也可不加】
