雅思口语描述一个地方

雅思口语描述一个地方

首先,我们来了解一下雅思口语part2地点类话题分类:

根据对历年雅思口语真题的分析,我们将地点类话题分为三大类:buildings, places, scenic spots.

其中buildings包括:Describe a library、a museum、a building in your university、a monument in your city、your ideal house;

Places包括:Describe a restaurant、a shopping center、a street、a hotel、a city you visited、a place with water;

Scenic spots包括:Describe a historical place、a natural beauty、a river or lake

从上述话题我们可以看到,这三类话题的侧重点是不同的。所以大家可以分类进行准备,这样话题思路也可以一通百通。详细内容可以参考雅思口语part2地点类话题详解。

了解了话题的分类,接下来要做的就是对此类话题的攻克,下面将会从词汇到具体的解题方法来详细的讲解。

1. 地点类话题地点类必备词汇

Metropolis大都市;Capital首都;Landscape风景;Enchanting迷人的;Remains遗迹;Commercial center商业中心;Cultural sites文化遗迹;Ancient capital古都;Municipality under the central government直辖市;Coastal city海滨城市;Long history悠久历史;Modern city现代城市;Provincial city省会;Ancient /historical city古城……全面详尽的词汇汇总尽在雅思口语part2地点类话题词汇。

2. 了解出题逻辑

观察所有地点类题型,不难发现,所有题目的出题逻辑都是围绕5个“W”和一个 “H”展开的。他们分别是Where,When,Who,What 【see,do】,Why and How。因此在拿到话题卡就首先要知道针对这几点改抓住哪些点进行作答。例如:Where——学会灵活运用方位词汇;When和Who——简单回答,交代清楚即可;What——从所见所闻角度展开详细叙述;Why and how——综合所有优点进行头脑风暴。这样不仅逻辑清楚,重点也很明确。

3. 具体的话题如何解

对于不同的话题类别,考生在作答的时候还要有所侧重和区分。如下:

描述buildings,我们要说出具体是哪个建筑,它的地理位置、历史、内外有什么特点、功能用途以及自己的经历和个人感想等等。

描述places时,用一种分散思维法来展开陈述。比如描述shopping mall,先是对它的一个整体介绍。既然是一个购物中心,一般都会涉及到购物、美食、特色或是娱乐休闲。同学们可以从这几个方面展开叙述。

描述scenic spots要用联想法。既然是旅游景点,具体在哪里,有什么特色吸引你去观看,比如,民俗民风、建筑或是环境,还有你的特殊经历给你什么样的感受等。关于地点类话题的解题思路欢迎查看地点类雅思口语话题如何解,雅思口语part2地点类话题详解。

下面以buildings话题为例来具体说一下答题思路——历史建筑类话题卡完整版:

Describe a historical place.

You should say:

what this place is called

where this historical place is

what history this place is famous for

and explain why you think this place is impressive.

从这里我们可以得出如下答题思路:1.what this place is called这个地方是什么?——2.where this historical place is这个历史胜地在哪?——3.what history this place is famous for这个地方因为什么而出名——4.and explain why you think this place is impressive.解释为什么你认为这个地方是印象深刻的。

这里就是紧抓5个W,所以考生们只需要分析其中的要点根据相应的解题方法即可很好的攻破此类考题,雅思口语地点类话题思路紧紧相连,所以攻克了一大类既能够对地点类话题得心应手。

雅思口语如何描述一个地方

一、Part two地点类话题分析

Part two中话题分类我们都很清楚，总共有四类----人物类、事件类、物品类和地点类，而其中地点类话题相对来讲也是比较有依据可循的一个话题。很多考生觉得这个话题简单，背景都会选择旅游背景来描述一个地方，但口语话题中，越简单的往往越没有内容可答，导致part two时长不足，内容乏味。那在地点类型问题中，到底应该怎么去分析，怎么去解答呢?

1、Where it is

对于这个题目的描述，很多考生都只知道题目问什么就回答什么，完全没有考虑到在交流中，我们信息的有效性和引导性。所以，当回答完毕的时候，才突然发现，自己回答的内容少之又少，根本无法满足考试要求两分钟的描述。那我们到底应该从哪几个方面来展开呢?

1】地点描述：be sited in/ be located in/ be situated in/ be in the vantage point in

{flouring/ prosperous/ clamoring/ bustling/ quiet/ tranquil/ serene/ peaceful/ undisturbed}area/ district/ lots……

2】 天气：tropical/ temperate/ frigid zone→drizzle day/ pouring day/ dog days/ showery day

3】地形: plain/ plateau/ meadow/ gorge/ hill/ coast/ inland/ peninsula/ basin/ wetland/ terrace

2、How often you go there 【when you went there】

对于这个问题，很多同学的一个通病问题是，只喜欢一句话带过，但其实我们也可以稍微展开一下来实现语篇的自然交流感。 首先可以讲清楚住宅与所去目的之间的距离远近，然后再以原因展开描述。如：

It’s fairly/ super close to my accommodation so that I’m allowed to take stroll there every day. But mornings are my preference, owing to the adorable sight there.

It’s way far from my accommodation. I just visit there once in a blue moon. 后面加上一次之前的经历就好。

3、What you like to do there 【what you did there】

这个问题是整个地点类问题当中比较重点的问题。首先要确定，一般我们在讲地点的时候基本都会把背景设置为旅行的话题，所以这个问题我们可以把它意译为旅行中你做了什么样的事情。那大抵我们可以分为两个类别。一个是风景的欣赏，另外一个则是特色活动的描述。

首先，对于风景的描述就免不了要描述景色，那重点是，如果要想有一个比较高的分数，就要避免过多的使用抽象的上义词，而要更多的使用比较具体形象的下义词。同时，也要注意在对于景色进行描述时，要更多的变化形容词来使用，而不是千篇一律的那几个简单的词汇。

形容词使用：gorgeous/ eye-catching/ eye feast/ picturesque/ stunning/ marvelous/ splendid/ breathtaking

自然风光的描述：grassy area/ limpid gleaming water/ blue ocean, just like sapphire/ vast stretches of plain/ winding ally/ boundless meadow/ endless plateau

人文风光的描述：cultural heritage/ relics/ castle/ palace/ landmark/ statue/ sculpture

其次，我们要从某个地方的特点特色的事物展开描述。

比如，讲到海边城市，可以从water sports作为切入点展开描述，如：parasailing/ flyboarding/ diving/ snorkeling…;如果介绍的地方没有这么鲜明的特色时，我们就可以从美食入手，讲一讲当地的delicacy。但与此同时要特别注意，食物的讲解不能单纯停留在名称上，我们需要从食材，口味，口感等方面展开，所以，涉及到的词汇相对来讲比较专业一些。如：wrapping/ filling/ ingredient/ tender/ pungent/ blander/ crispy/ creamy…

4、How you feel about this place【Why you like this place】

一般我们在讲解喜欢一个地方的原因时，基本从两个方面来进行分析。

一是这个地方与你所住的地方对比而来的好处，可以从环境，方便程度，城市化建设，甚至人文底蕴来进行阐述。

Distinctive/ metropolitan/ cosmopolitan/ modern/ exotic/ unparalleled/ incomparable二是可以从这个地方与你之间的情感价值进行展开的描述：

Bring you a great immense of memory/ nostalgia/ reminder/ memento/ intangible bond/ tie…

雅思口语描述一个你去过的地方

Describe a historical place that you visited.

You should say:Where this place is,When you went to this place,What you did there,and explain how you felt about visiting this historical place.

[题型透析]

本题属于景点类考题中,考生们在备考中要准备一个人文景观【historic site】和一个自然景观【nature beauty】,自然景观可以参照城市类的考题进行准备。

[考点精析]

这道题的难点在于对于历史建筑的描述,在强调它的历史作用时多少会涉及到历史知识以及一些专有名词的表达。而不管各位考生是选择中国的还是国外的历史建筑,鉴于平日里谈论得极少,考试前没有够的准备就很难开口。所以各位考生在考前可以结合其它描述地点或建筑的话题一起准备:Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等。

[回答技巧]

对此类建筑话题进行描述时,往往要求考生描述以下方面:建筑所在地点【where】, 参观此建筑的时间【when】/多久去一次【how long】, 参与的人【who】, 以及为什么喜欢/不喜欢这个建筑【why】。这种类型的问题对大多数考生来说都比较简单,只需把重点放在喜欢或者不喜欢的原因即可,学生很容易找到相关思路并且做出清晰流畅的回答。

如第一个问题描述location可以用以下结构进行扩展___________is located in ___________ and it’s 【not】 far from_________. It takes me_______from_______to go there.如 The Forbidden City is located in Tian Anmen and it’s not far from my home and it takes me only 10 minutes walk from my place to go there.第二个问题描述什么时间去的,可以通过what who when where why来扩展,如: When I was a high school student, I went there with my parents to enjoy our vacation 。

回答第三,四个问题时,对于特定的历史建筑物而言,需要重点描述这个地点或描述对象本身具有较多的特征或特别之处、所以,在选择对象的时候,要注意一些其自身的特色,以及可以提一下在此建筑物中的经历,如描述西湖West Lake就可以描述它的美景wonderful lake view, 美食different kinds of lake food,在那边做的活动outdoor activities such as boating and taking a walk.I would like to describe the Xi'an City Wall. Xi’an is an ancient city in central-northwest China. There are many historical sites there, including the famous Terracotta Army. However, I’d like to describe the Xi'an City Wall. Although it’s less known than the Terracotta Army, it’s an amazing site that impressed me very much.I went there during my school trip when I was at high school.

I remember it was May, so the weather was warm and sunny.Well, our group went around the site with a tour guide. The site is huge, so the tour took about two hours. We climbed the Wall from one of the gates. We saw the gate towers, the moat around the Wall, and the suspension bridge. We also walked in the park around the Wall that has many beautiful trees and flowers.I really enjoyed visiting the Xi'an City Wall. First, it’s the oldest city wall in China that is so well preserved. So when you walk around it, you feel like a part of history.

Another reason is that I’m interested in engineering and it’s going to be my major at university. So it was very interesting for me to see all the different structures at the site. I tried to imagine how people built those structures without the modern equipment that we have today. All in all, visiting the Xi'an City Wall allowed me to learn more about Chinese history and architecture. It was a great discovery!

雅思口语描述鲜为人知的地方

Describe an interesting place that few people know

You should say:

Where it is

When you go there

What you can do there

And explain why few people know there

解析：

题目要求描述一个很少有人知道的但很有趣的地方。在描述时一定要紧扣这两个条件：1. 很少有人知道;2.有趣。要说明这个地方具体是什么，你是怎么知道这个地方的，为什么该地方人很少，并且解释为什么这个地方很有趣。

Well Beijing is a city with many well-known museums, like the Capital Museum or Beijing Museum. But there is another museum in Beijing that few people know and that is Beijing Railway Museum. I come to know this museum through a friend Jim. He is a big fan of trains and he knows all the history and background stories about trains.

What the Railway Museum to him is what a Disneyland to a 7-year-old girl. It is not until he told me about this place that I came to know there is really a museum of trains. I guess most people who know little about trains hardly know this place. It has exhibited more than 50 trains, whose years date back to 1881 to 1993. In the Railway Museum, you can see the first steam train in China, some other trains named after Chairman Mao and General Zhude, and trains made by other countries like England, US, Japan, Russia and Belgium.

It is an interesting place, especially to little boys and also grown-ups who are crazy about trains. These old trains are like big toys to them. They fancy every train they see. The different colors, shapes and styles also leave a deep impression on me. Walking in the museum, I seem to feel the passage of time.
