雅思口语描述pizza

主题：意大利披萨

故事线：意大利披萨是世界上最美味的食物，其独特的制作方式和烘烤技巧，让你尝过就欲罢不能。

There is a foreign food that I would really like to try, but I wonder if my choice will surprise you? I will tell you what it is, how I learned about it, where it is mostly eaten and explain why I want to taste it so badly.

The food is…. Pizza! Now, of course, this is a food that you can buy all over the world, and I really enjoy the pizza that I can buy in my home country which is England in the UK. However, I recently learned from a friend that the style of pizza available here is nothing like the authentic Italian pizza you can get if you visit its country of origin, and since then, it’s one of the things on my bucket list. That is, something I’d like to do before I die is to travel to Italy, find a local pizzeria and get a really authentic pizza.

So how did I learn what I’ve been missing? I shop regularly at a local family owned delicatessen. The proprietor is Italian, and he is a great foody – that is he takes food very seriously, sourcing only the best ingredients. He and his wife are both vegetarian like me, so they often suggest food or recipes.

The other day we were talking and he was bemoaning the lack of ‘proper’ pizzas in this country. He told me that whilst of course, Italian food is very regional including its pizzas, they are nevertheless distinctive. All pizzas MUST be cooked in a wood-fired oven for a start, the dough should be tossed by hand.

The pizza should only be made with the very freshest and finest ingredients, and is best eaten outdoors too, of course, against the backdrop of the Italian countryside!

Pizza is eaten everywhere in Italy, though of course approximations of pizza can be bought the world over. Even so, my deli friend has persuaded me I’ve been missing out, and I’d like to find out for myself how different it might taste if I go for an authentic recipe, venue and location. I’ve never had a real pizza, and I’ve never been to Italy either, I think it would be a winning combination – not to mention that it would also be a great excuse to go to a beautiful country that I have yet to visit. What do you think, would you like to come too?

雅思口语描述食物

食物类话题之Part 1

Part 1中的食物类话题，通常发生在日常生活中最基础层次的对话中，问题就像是每次话题一开始的互相了解。考题通常有关于饮食的偏好，饮食的习惯或是简单的做饭。对于这样一些问题，通常是考生们比较得心应手的，同样它们的难度相对较低。以下呈现的是几个典型话题：

1. Do you know how to cook?

2. Who cooks in your family?

3. What kind of food do you like?

对于Part 1中的大部分食物类话题，大家根据日常生活实例进行作答即可，它们不涉及到饮食的具体方面。就像下面两个问题一样：

1. Do you know how to cook?

I know a little bit of cooking. Sometimes when my parents are away from home， I will cook for myself some of the simple meals， like instant noodles.

2. Who cooks in your family?

It is my mother who takes the responsibility to cook in my family. She cooks real well. What’s more， she is very creative in cooking those popular dishes.

当然也有部分话题需要我们对饮食有一定的宏观了解：

3. What kind of food do you like?

你喜欢什么类型的食物?对于食物的类型大家要有一定的了解。

除了每一种特定的食物名称如：fish/ vegetable/ milk 。..。..这样的分类外，对于食物的类型，我们还有很多种分类方法。对于很多海外留学的学生来说，他们将食物分为：western food & traditional Chinese food， 对于很多在外工作或者求学的年轻人来说，食物可以是他们怀念的home-made food， 也可以是他们稍有厌倦的food in the restaurant， 或是想戒总也戒不掉的fast food， 有了这些分类，相信大家就可以比较方便地说出你喜欢的食物类型并且表达想法了。

The type of food I like most is home-made food cooked by my mother. Compared with food outside， the dishes cooked by my mother are more hygienic. What’s more， she knows better about what I like and the flavor I really enjoy.

食物类话题之Part 3

像所有的Part 3话题一样，饮食这样的日常生活类话题进入Part 3， 话题就不单单是个人经历的回忆和描述了。这个部分需要大家对饮食这个大话题有一个很好的宏观了解。朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家主要给大家归纳了以下3点食物类话题的常见考点，希望大家可以对食物类的话题有一定的掌握。

1. Places for enjoying food

对于饮食场所的选择，这个在大家的日常生活中是一个极为常见的场景。有人喜欢enjoy at home， 当然也有人会选择go to restaurant， 还有很多人选择fast food restaurant。喜欢在家吃，那必然是ingredient【食材】比较fresh【新鲜】，此外，process of cooking【烹调过程】会相对hygienic【卫生】，此外，可根据自己的爱好调节flavor【口味】。

当然饭店的好处通常在于convenience【方便】。也就是说我们无需花时间make preparations【做准备】，此外，不同的饭店有着不同的specialty catering【特色餐饮】，大家可以品尝不同的cuisine【菜系】。还有最大的好处就是do not have to wash the dishes【不用洗碗】。

对于快餐店，是很多年轻人的preferred choice【选择】，很多都选在中午吃快餐，原因很简单，快餐真的speedy【快】，我们几乎不需要wait in the queue【排队】，很快就能吃上，是satisfy hunger【充饥】的好办法。

通过以上分析，相信食物类问题就不会那么抽象了。

Which one do you prefer， making food at home or dining out?

Why do more and more people prefer to dining out?

Is fast food popular in your country?

2. Skills of cooking

烹饪是食物类话题之一，它也是雅思口语的常考话题之一，问题通常是围绕学习做饭展开的，具体有：

Do you think it is necessary for the children to learn how to cook?

It is necessary for young people to learn how to cook nowadays?

小孩子是否应该学做饭?那我们就要考虑到小孩子的特性，比较naughty【顽皮】，他们学做饭会存在很大的potential danger【潜在危险性】，主要表现为厨房有knife【刀】这样的sharp tools【锋利的器具】，小朋友很容易get hurt【受伤】，因此，不建议小朋友学厨艺，如果真的有小朋友要学，也建议under the guidance of parents【在家长的监督之下学习】。

对于年轻人来说，学厨艺是必要的，是basic living skill【基本生活技能】，是independent living【独立生活】的首要条件之一。年轻人学习厨艺，很大程度上能够帮助自己养成healthy diet【健康的饮食习惯】，避免过多的食用fast food【速食】。

3. Problems of food

食品问题，是我们国人最关注的问题之一，也是雅思考试的热门话题之一，大家尤其要对这个话题引起一定的重视。

我们的饮食问题主要有哪些呢?朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家给大家归纳了以下几大问题。

原材料【raw material】问题：soil pollution【土壤污染】， water pollution【水污染】， usage of pesticide【使用农药】。

食材【ingredient】问题：colored products【上色产品】，usage of hormone【使用激素】。

菜品【dish】问题：chemical additive【化学添加剂】，usage of illegal cooking oil【使用地沟油】。

食品的问题通常如下所示，相信理清上面的点后，对于大家回答食品方面的问题会有很大的帮助。

What are the food problems in your country?

Why do some people dislike the food in the restaurant?

雅思口语描述婚礼

Describe a wedding you attended【参加的婚礼】

You should say:

whose wedding it was

who was there

where it was

and explain how you felt at this wedding.

范文：

Ok, well I've actually been to quite a few weddings, so it was kind of difficult choosing which one to describe, but I guess probably the easiest for me to talk about would be the most recent one I went to, which was that of a neighbour of mine.

And, as for who was there, well, I couldn't tell you everyone, because there were absolutely loads of people, you know, the hall was pretty packed, so my guess would be that there were probably something like 250 to 300 guests. And if I'm not mistaken, it seemed to be that the majority were friends and relatives of the bride and groom, although I also noticed that they had invited quite a few of their colleagues from work as well. For example, one of them, who I think was her boss, went up on stage to make a speech at some point.

Anyway, with regard to where the wedding was held, well, it was actually in a small city called Zhuji, which is about an hour's drive just to the south east of Hangzhou, because that's where the bride comes from. And it was held in a hotel there. I can’t remember the name of it I’m afraid, but it was a really nice hotel, and probably one of the best in the city.

So regarding how I felt at the wedding, well, to put it simply, it was a really wonderful wedding, and there were some parts of it that moved me quite a lot, such as when the bride broke down in tears when she was on stage thanking her parents for all the support they had given her. It was also really clear to see how much the bride and groom loved each other, as they couldn't take their eyes off each other the whole evening. So I was really happy for them and was glad that I made it to their wedding.

That's pretty much it, I think, so thanks a lot for listening.

Notes:

there were absolutely loads of people - 人好多好多!

Packed = very crowded

小伙伴们要学会举一反三哦，遇到这一类的话题都可以从这几个方面组织答案。

雅思口语考官最关注的事

雅思口语考官最关注的第一件事：流利度和连贯性

不要以为说的越快越好，要当成跟考官在聊天，一切以考官听懂为原则。如果没有听清考官的问题，一定要请考官重复，不要胡乱作答，要有效沟通。

在考试过程，要向考官展示自己“话唠”的一面，不要在考场装高冷。答案中配上恰到好处的语篇标记，让考官能更轻松的听出来我们的感情态度和语言走向，也让自己的表达更加native。

雅思口语考官最关注的第二件事：语法

不用查自己到底用了多少句“高级句式”，考官比较在乎11-14分钟里你给他的整体感觉，所以首先保证由于中文影响大概总出错的语法点的准确性【人称时态等】，然后有意识的、自然灵活的使用complex structure.

Part 1没事儿可以模仿一下Talk show里面嘉宾的回答风格，考官要的就是那个范儿。

想得高分，就要持续输出error-free的句子，所以没事儿就听自己的录音吧，自己都能挑出来的错误，考试的时候再出现就实在不应该了。

雅思口语考官最关注的第三件事：词汇

不要以为词汇量越大越好，把雅思绿皮书里面的各种wordy词汇各种乱用，完全不看语体和搭配。

考试中最出彩的往往是一些“小词”的地道使用。配上idiom和各种phrasal verb也绝对加分。平时要注意在各种地道的学习资源里积累素材，看剧的时候小本本一定要备好，而且要把它们编进自己的答案!另外，选择合适的剧集很重要，不要问我《权利的游戏》刷了好几遍了怎么口语还是没有提高……

Paraphrase的能力和习惯要有，而且可以在备考的时候提前设计!假装对某词不是很确定，然后配上你的definition，显得又自然又能体现你的沟通欲望和表达能力。

口语还有写作在备考的时候不要只查中英字典，要习惯用英英字典规范自己的语言准确性。

雅思口语考官最关注的第四件事：发音

有accent不是硬伤，不要怕!只要你的accent不妨碍考官理解你的意思，照样可以考高分，考官都可以有印度口音，凭啥你不能有中国口音。

Accent可以有，但是mistake是不行的!单词重音位置，元音的发音正确性等考官还是比较看重的。

做到发音准确只是第一步，地道才是高分的特征。所以各种语音现象练起来，英剧美剧对白模仿起来，没事儿还可以跟Siri聊个天，你的Siri能听懂你的英文，考官应该也差不多了。

总体而言，在雅思口语考试中，一个平和从容的心态能够帮助考生正常发挥，也能给考官留下良好的印象，那么这个时候，取得一个更高的分数就不难了。
