雅思口语描述城市

关于城市，雅思口语常考查的内容有介绍一个城市【去过或没去过】，大城市和小城市的区别，城市和农村的区别，城市生活的优缺点等等。通过观察我们发现，考生们对于这类话题的表现差强人意，原因在于不知如何表达，甚至不知道说什么。

就城市分类而言，题目中常用的词就是big city和small city，而除了这些，metropolis大都市是最常用的表达，也可以用发达 【developed】或不发达 【less developed】来划分城市。

在中国，我们还分一线 【first-tier】、二线 【second-tier】 和三线 【third-tier】 城市。除此之外，我们还给城市冠了好听的名字，比如City of Perpetual spring【春城】等。当然，我们也会对城市进行排名，比如Liveable City【宜居城市】， Garden City【花园城市】等。

除了城市的名称，关于城市的一些基本构成也是众多烤鸭发愁的一个区块。常用的表达有：

city hall【市政府】，city【城市】，

municipal【市政的】，

municipality【市政当局】，

suburb【郊区】，countryside【乡村】，

administrative district【行政区】，

residential area【住宅区】，

commercial district【商业区】，slums【贫民区】;

关于城市中的一些基本设施和服务，包括：

post office【邮局】，

public lavatory【公共厕所】，

public telephone【公用电话】，

shopping centre【商场】，

snack bar【小吃店】，

stock exchange【股票交易所】，

traffic light【红绿灯】，art gallery【美术馆】，

botanical garden【植物园】，

employment agency【职业介绍】，

bank【银行】，bookstore【书店】，

court【法院】，highway【公路】，

motorway【高速公路】，hospital【医院】，

junk shop【旧货店】，library【图书馆】，

museum【博物馆】，newsstand【报摊】，

port【港口】，restaurant【餐馆】，

skyscraper【摩天大楼】，stadium【体育场】，

station【车站】，theatre【电影院戏院】。

除了基本的构成之外，雅思口语最常考的内容还有对大小城市的优缺点做出比较，这里给大家列出几条供参考，大家应根据自己的自身经历做出取舍，自由搭配。一些具体的表达方式如形容词或词组考生也应牢记。

Pros of big cities:

Big money at work, first-class education, a large transport network, fancy restaurants and luxurious townhouses are definitely the charms【魅力】of big cities.

Life in big cities is endlessly colourful【无尽精彩】as you have a wide range of entertainment.

This cityis steeped in【沉浸在】time-honored【历史悠久的】traditions.

It’s prosperous【繁荣的】.

This city is well-known for its architectural heritage【建筑遗产】.

Thecityscape【城市风景】is gorgeous【华丽的，漂亮极了的】and there are tons oftowering skyscrapers【高耸的摩天大楼】.

High-rise buildings【高城建筑】are sprouting up【涌现】all over the city.

This city is like a magnet【磁铁】for tourists.

Cons of big cities:

The air is so smoggy【烟雾重的】.

Lots of people there suffer from respiratory diseases【呼吸系统疾病】.

Get away from the hustles and bustles【拥挤喧闹】.

Small cities are of sufficient natural resources.

Cons of small cities:

Tons of small cities in China are confronted with serious brain drain【人才流失】.

A rising number of chemical factories built in small countries and countryside arousegrievous【严重的】water degradation【水质下降】.

Average income【收入水平】in small cities falls far behind that in big cities.

Thegeneral public service【整体社会服务水平】in small cities is lower than that in most big cities.

除此之外，关于大城市，肯定有很多同学对其高昂的房价有话要说。其实不光如此，之前在Part 3中就已经有同学碰到过关于中国城市房价的问题了。对于很多年轻人而言，无论是收入水平、城市规模还是社会服务等，first-tier city【一线城市】都有着巨大吸引力。

然而，housing price【房产价格】的疯长，许多原来期望在first-tier city发展的年轻人不得不转战second-tier city和third-tier city。许多不甘离开梦想之地的人或成为mortgage slave【房奴】，或成为ant tribe【蚁族】。另外，一线城市的高消费水平也迫使许多人成为moonlight clan【月光族】。想结婚而又无力买房的人只能选择naked wedding【裸婚】。

Q: Do you prefer to live in a big city or small city?

A: Personally, small city seems more preferable. I like living in small cities for its slow life pace and quietness. I mean I don't have to suffer the hustle and bustle.So I’m able to enjoy cosiness. According to my experience living in a big city for three years, living in big cities is just stressful. You know, the sky-high housing priceand fierce competitionpropel many youngsters like me to move out of big cities though there are completed public services; otherwise we’ll end up with being a mortgage slaveand having a naked wedding.

以上答案就套用了前面讲过的表达方式，但是一定要改编，才能使学来的东西变成自己的。

通过以上的补充素材我们发现，关于城市有很多东西可以说，而不是停留在表面的分析和简单的表达上。希望考生们从现在开始，把上述材料都牢记，再遇到相同问题的时候活用所学，定能使考官印象深刻。

雅思口语如何描述城市

Describe a city/town you’ve visited that you like

You should say:

Where is it

When did you go there

What did you do their

And explain why you like it

1.适用人群：全适用

2.主题：克里特岛

3.故事线：一次去希腊克里特岛度假的经历，阳光海风美景，让繁忙的工作见鬼去吧。

A couple of months ago I went to the Greek island of Crete. We stayed in a town called Xania, which is on the coast in the north west of Crete. It is a really picturesque town with small cobbled streets, a large harbour and many ancient buildings. I went there with my husband Brendan for a one-week holiday.

We got there by various means of transport, taking a train to the airport, then a four-hour flight, followed by a twenty-minute taxi ride from the airport to where we were staying. The whole journey took around eight hours from door to door, which was a bit longer than we expected it to take, although we didn't have any major delays, thank goodness.

I enjoyed my stay there very much, as I had not had a holiday for ages and needed to switch off from working. We didn't do much sightseeing, although Xania itself has a long and fascinating history so went to the local museum in order to learn more about it. I spent a lot of time reading books and swimming in the sea, which I must admit was quite a lot colder than I thought it would be. I also enjoyed eating the delicious Cretan food, and walking around the ancient streets in the town.

One of the things I enjoyed the most was going to a restaurant called Xalkina, where they had live Cretan music every night. The musicians were playing instruments that I had never seen before, and I loved the style and tempo of the music they played. I would definitely like to go back to Crete one day, though next time I would probably make more effort to see the amazing sights of the rest of Crete.

怎么提高环球雅思口语对话

1.敢于提出自己的真实观点

发现一个很有意思的情形：一个中国人一个外国人走在一起，不管外国人说什么中国人都当成至理名言一般“认真倾听”，对话中用的最多的就是“Yes/je”这个词，与其说是附和，不如说是一种逃避，逃避着用英语发表自己见解所可能造成的语无伦次。

严肃”地用英语提出自己独到的观点和见解，同时“逼”着自己找出两条以上的理由来支撑。如果觉得说的不好，也不用着急，回去慢慢想，再说一遍，争取下次说好就可以了。交谈话题可以涉及方方面面。另外千万不要害怕对方向你问“why”，正是通过这个过程，具体说理和细节展开能力才会得到提高。

2.需要学习地道的语音语调，节奏停顿

在日常会话中我们发现外国人的表达其实并不复杂，但听着却显得层次分明，原因便在于他们作为nativespeaker地道的语音和自然的节奏停顿。我们总是习惯于将中文语境下的停顿迁移到英语中，但真正能够说好英语，需要的是英语语境下的恰当停顿，这点是我们最需要模仿和学习的。

3.调整价值观：也谈如何面对外国人

很多同学在面对雅思考官时的紧张，除却主观的语言障碍和心理因素之外，与外国人之间一种莫名的“隔膜”，也是我们无法放开的原因。

景仰”的姿态把他们视作“宾客”，说起话来小心翼翼，即使开个玩笑也显得僵硬死板。我们大可不必如此，完全可以把与他们的对话视作平凡生活中的一部分，把他们当作普通人，随意聊，不想睬他们就把他们晾在一边，总之不要客套。

另外，与一个外国人一起说话，也不是什么值得炫耀虚荣的事情，是时候放下一些固有的价值观和偏见，这样才能真正觉得放松随意。只有平凡普通，而不是故作轻松的氛围下，才能让自己安安心心的交流和说话。我相信除却勤奋艰苦的语言训练，面对外国人真正发自内心的“放松与平等”，同样能够间接提高你说英语口语时的自信和流利度。

如何提高雅思口语的水平

每天都应该要坚持读英语一个小时，不管是读什么内容主要就是练习自己的语感，每天也应该要听英语新闻一个小时，可以习惯语速和地道的发音，配合着视频看新闻也是非常不错的，每天也应该要坚持模拟考试一次。

想要提高口语，那么大家就应该要大胆的说出来，但是对于一些口语比较弱的人来说，肯定是说不出来的，那么听和读就成了一个非常要紧的部分，只有多听多读才能够大胆的说出来，在说的时候大家也不要太枯燥的说，应该要找一些同学一起练习，这样你才会有动力。

很多人都说，口语里面大家不要用复杂的句型，但是也不能够全部用简单的句子，这样你就不能够达到高的风速，如果每一句话都是简单的第一人称，或者是不超过五个单词，那么就会看起来非常的廉价，你的水平也就非常的低，在巨石上面，定语从句是最好把握的，在时态方面不需要变化太多，最主要的就是表达清楚，时态太多也容易出错。

词汇对于口语加分也是非常关键的，如果你的回答都是中规中矩的，偶尔出现一些亮点，那么考官就会觉得你的英文功底还是很好的，除了要掌握一些四六级单词之外，大家还应该要积累一些喜雨和动词短语。大家还应该要多积累一些词组，可以让你平淡的句子变得更加的丰富多彩。
