雅思口语描述物品

雅思口语描述物品

要想把一个物品描述清楚，需要考生从外观、内部、功能等方面着手，循序渐进，介绍完整。当然在雅思口语考试里，除了描述物品，还需考生结合自身经验和实际来使物品本身更丰富，使整个回答更流畅更自然。在众多物品类考题中，对于艺术品的描述是经久不衰的考题之一。

多年来，艺术品一直作为物品类常考题存在着，考察学生对艺术品的了解。其实在西方，艺术是人们生活的一部分，参观艺术展览是普通人周末的休闲方式之一。不管是在欧洲、美洲还是澳洲，与别人谈论艺术品是能很好开启人们之间谈话的话题之一。通过这些，足以看出西方人对于艺术的热爱。所以在雅思考试中出现描述一件艺术品的题变得理所当然。然而，对于平时不太常接触艺术品的中国学生来说这无疑是一件比较困难的任务。

首先大家要了解，在当下的常考题目中，基本上有两种关于艺术品的题目，分别是a handicraft和a piece/work of art。这两类物品是有区别的，a handicraft是指手工艺品，而另一个就是普通的、任何一个艺术品。综合两题共同点，考生只需准备一个手工艺品就可以了，因为手工艺品属于艺术品的范畴。

考生要知道如何给自己减负，即能把共同准备的题合在一起，用通用的内容来回答多个题。老师建议大家尽量选择一些有中国特色的物品，这样不仅能吸引考官的注意引起他的兴趣，也能避免一些潜在的错误，因为描述一件西方艺术品是比较冒险的行为，一旦你不十分了解你描述的物品，就极易给出错误信息，而这些错误信息对于考官来说恰恰是他比较了解的。这样一来，考官认为你是抄袭或说谎给你低分也是情有可原的。所以，合理地选择自己比较了解且有特色的手工艺品是首要任务。

下面给出一些有特色的手工艺品供大家参考：kite风筝，paper cuts/cutting剪纸，embroidery刺绣，porcelain瓷器，jade carving玉雕，root carving根雕，seal carving印章雕刻，ice carving冰雕，clay figurines泥人，lacquer ware漆器，potted landscape盆景，batik蜡染，the shadow show皮影戏，fancy lantern彩灯，Tri-coloured Tang唐三彩，Cloisonné 景泰蓝，paper fan纸扇，Chinese calligraphy中国书法，Chinese painting国画，Snuff bottle with interior painting鼻烟壶内画等。以上这些都是极具中国特色的手工艺品，考生们可以从中选择任何一种来描述，但老师要提醒大家的是，如果大家并不十分了解某个东西而你又十分想说，尽量还是选择放弃。毕竟口语考试话题千千万万，如果要描述不了解的物品会给你的准备工作平添许多麻烦，所以考生尽量选择熟悉好描述的物品，比如风筝、剪纸、泥人和纸扇等，既简单又具特色。

接下来，老师就以剪纸为例，做一个示范，建议考生们仔细阅读，学习一下介绍物品的切入点和顺序以及如何与自身经验相结合。

Describe a work of art you have seen.

You should say:

when you 【first】 saw this work of art

where you saw it

what it looked like

and explain your feelings about this work of art when you saw it.

Well, let me introduce you a work of art that's most impressive to me, and that's called paper cutting. I first got to know it in my art class in secondary school. When my art teacher Mr Du walked into class with several red paper works in diverse shapes in his hands, I was certainly attracted. I'd say that class was the one I most devoted ever since we had art classes. From that class, I learned that paper cutting is a traditional art in China which has been making its way along the route of the long history of paper.

The kind of art went after the invention of paper in Han Dynasty. Usually it's done simply with a piece of red paper and a pair of scissors. First fold up several times, like three or four times, before you have to draw outlines of your desired patterns on the paper. Then cut along those lines and unfold it, it's done! But unfortunately it's not that easy as it looks like so I've tried pretty hard to make it well done. Finally, when I got my first paper cutting done, which is a fish, I felt a huge sense of achievement deep in my heart.

Conventionally, fish stands for richness and surplus in Chinese culture so people like to put it up on the wall, or windows or doors to wish a peaceful, happy and fortunate life for the coming new year during Chinese Spring Festival. Sometime after I got to know the paper cutting, I once again saw this kind of art when I was back to my granny's house during Spring Festival.

I saw the paper as a Chinese character Fu pasted up-side-down on her bedroom's door, which caused my curiosity. So my granny told me Fu means blessing and happiness, people paste it up-side-down to implicate blessing and happiness being coming, coz in Chinese, the words 'up-side-down' and 'coming' are actually pronounced the same. It's pretty interesting to find that and I think that's what makes me fall in love with this kind of art increasing deeply.

此范文流畅自然地描述了物品并循序渐进地介绍出了作者的自身经验和感受，让听者有兴趣、耐心地听下去。所以，考生可学习这种描述方法，从而使自己的回答更自然流畅。艺术品的题未来依然是常考题之一，所以考生要提早下功夫选择一件作品，做好充分的准备。

雅思口语如何描述一件物品

首先，对于物品类话题，我们根据历年考试话题的汇总，为大家概括为两大类：

具体类物品如：Describe a book you read、a gift you received from others、a wild animal、a handicraft、an electrical appliance that is useful to you、an important letter that you received、a game you played in your childhood等;

抽象类物品如：Describe an interesting news、a useful website、 a performance you saw、a organization、your future job、your future plan、something that you don't know but would like to learn等。

其实简单的说具体类物品话题就是实实在在存在，能够看得见摸得着的一样东西。而抽象类物品则是一件抽象的东西，可能没有实物参照，而只是比较抽象的描述。所以二者比较而言，具体类物品话题将会好描述的多。雅思口语part2物品类话题详解大家可以仔细阅读一下，这里有关于两类话题具体的细节对比分析。

其次，就是关于具体的解题思路介绍。

1】当我们要描述一个具体类事物时，要把它与人物类以及地点类联系起来，丰富自己的内容。例如：描述a gift时，首先要描述这件礼物具体是什么，外观或是很吸引人的地方;然后，再说是谁送给你的，父母?朋友?同学还是同事?也可以说说这件礼物是从什么地方买的，如果是手工制作的那一定是很用心，同学们可以仔细描述一下。

2】当我们描述一个比较抽象类的话题时，要遵循互通原则。一个话题不会说就要换一种方式灵活应对，不至于哑口无言并缓解冷场气氛。

最后，考生们也需要注意素材的积累——词汇、句式等。

有了素材不代表口语成绩一定很高，关键是我们要用的对。吸取精华并打破陈规，找出属于自己的一套回答方式才是取胜之道。

雅思口语描述一张你喜欢的照片

When the photograph was taken

What it looks like

What significant memory you have regarding this photograph

1.适用考生：全适用

2.主题：一张自拍照

3.故事线：很多年前，当我12岁的时候，我带着一个大型佳能相机拍了这张照片。参加生日聚会，当时我在房间里，找不到合适的东西来捕捉。我站在镜子前面，带着自己的照片的想法突然出现在脑海中。

雅思口语高分范文示例：

Well, these days such photographs are called 'selfie' and I did not know that there was something called selfie until I turned to 23! Selfie is indeed a craze these days while it was unheard of in the past, at least to me. The photograph that I would like to talk about was not a so-called selfie that teenagers take these days using the front camera of their mobile phones.

I took this picture many years ago when I was around 12 years old with a large Canon camera.

My father gave me this camera on my 12th birthday and this was the first time when I owned a camera. I loved to capture pictures of my relatives and beautiful sceneries. We had to use a rolled film at that time called ‘rollfilm’ and did not have the freedom to take as many photos as we wanted unlike the digital camera owners have these days.

One day I was invited to one of my friends' birthday party and his parents requested me to bring my camera with me. I took many photos at that party and at night when I returned from the party, I noticed that 2-3 film strips were still empty and I could take more photos before I send the film roll to be washed and printed. At that time I was in my room and could not find anything suitable to capture.

I was standing in front of the looking glass and the idea of taking my own picture popped into my head. It was a Canon CF-23 model camera and had only 3-4 options to adjust the light and flash while taking a photo. I had to spend more than 5 minutes to capture the picture and after I saw the printed version of this photo, I loved it.

The picture shows me standing straight and holding a camera in front of my eyes. The backlight was visible and was more like a shining star in the sky. A part of the room was visible but everything in the opposite direction as it was through the mirror. I like this photo very much. It was taken by me, the idea was new, at least to me and the photo looks nice. My mother has this picture in her picture album and every time I see this photo, it reminds me my teenage days.

雅思口语高分范文示例：

I have got a beautiful suite from my dad marking my 20th birthday this year. It was a nicely made suit with the finest clothing. The fabric was attractive and the colour was impressive. I felt lucky to have that on my share.

I received the suit on the evening before my birthday party began. My dad rushed to the home and asked me to meet him in his room. I knew that he was trying to surprise me with something. But I did not understand that this would be a nice piece of a suit. In fact, it was out of my idea that he would bring the suit for me. I did not know how he got the measurement of my body as the suit took me in perfectly.

My father is an interesting man. He loves to surprise people. But most of the time, the people – whom he is trying to surprise, get ideas about the surprise. So, he is unable to surprise them in most of the cases. But in this case, I was really surprised and my dad was happy to complete his mission. He gave me the costume and it cost him a lot, I know.

Of course, it was an extraordinary gift to me. It was from my father whom I adore the most in my life. Besides, it was my birthday gift from him. So, definitely, this was an important gift for me. Moreover, the suit was made of the colour I really like. It was dark blue and sewed from a renowned and specialized tailor of the city. I have been using the suit to attend formal occasions and take the right care of it.
