雅思口语2人物类答题技巧

雅思口语 2人物类答题技巧

雅思口语part2人物类话题是比较常考的话题。所以对这类话题的备考是非常有必要的。

首先，我们从雅思口语的“人”这一大类入手，这类题目大致可细分为三类：famous person/ old person/ teenager。有了这三个题目，我们就可以把其他的题目轻松套入，做到事半功倍。我们先来看famous person这个题目。

Describe a famous person who is important to your own country.

对于这个题目，很多同学会想到伟大的领袖、政治人物等等，其实对于famous而言，我们可以开阔一下思路，很多领域的人都可以是famous的，比如娱乐、体育明星，科学家等等。讨论一个这样的人物会比政治人物轻松很多，因为一些内容和词汇可以供我们来选择，甚至可以杜撰，不需要正式而严肃的词汇。我们可以选择成龙进行描述。请看下面的sample:

The famous person I want to describe is Jacky Chen. He is a famous Kungfu star. When he was a young man, he studied Kungfu in Hong Kong. He was very painstaking and did exercise for thousands of times a day with injuries in many parts of the body. Then he was selected to act Kungfu in films by a film company. He had opportunities to show himself and prove his capability. In his movies, he always acts policeman, soldier and hero for the nation. He has become our hero to let the world know Kungfu of China. He makes contributions to boost Chinese entertainment industry and spread Chinese Kungfu to the western world. He has fans all around the world and he also has apprentice. He uses his reputation to collect money for charity and help the disabled to build up confidence for life. I admire him very much because his story encourages me to be painstaking and selfless.

有了这个例子，我们就可以将一些类似的题目套用，比如“外国名人”的题目，还有就是“对于你影响很大的一个人”、“你崇拜的一个人”等等。

下面是old person的例子。

Describe an old person you know.

The old person I want to talk about is my biology teacher. He has grey hair; he wears a pair of glasses. He always smiles to students so we think he is a kind and friendly teacher. His classes are vivid and interesting. He always brings real things to the class to teach us the knowledge of biology. Once he brought a glass box of butterflies. Some of them were blue, purple, white and pink. One day he brought a live frog. We were very interested in his teaching. He told me that he would never give up his teaching. He said he would go to Hope Project in remote areas. He makes contribution to the society. I admire him very much. He has a sense of selfless and enthusiasm to his career.

这个例子的应用范围十分广泛，它可以被用来回答类似teacher/ a person with important job/ a person you want to be/ a family member/ a neighbour/ a person who taught you something important等等的题目。

再来看第三个题目，

Describe a teenager you know.

The person I want to describe is my friend. He is a happy and strong person. We knew each other since we were 6 years old. He was talented in basketball because he’s tall and nimble. He was selected to be one of the members of school basketball team. After his painstaking training, he became the top athlete in our city. He told me that he wants to be the basketball star like Yaoming. No matter how difficult the training is, even in the rainy days, he sticks to it. However, in one basketball match, his left ankle was injured seriously. He had to stop training and playing the game. He felt upset. When I went to visit him, he told me he wouldn’t give up basketball. Although he can’t continue his matches now, he has overcome the misfortune. The smile is on his face when he sits on the playground and sees the players. Now he is writing some essays to illustrate the skills of basketball performance. He told me he didn’t stop the dream of basketball. I respect him and I will learn from his strong mind and optimistic attitude.

上面这个例子中，我们设计了一个故事，也就是话题中人物的逆境及如何在逆境中坚强地生存下来。这样的故事我们可以套用给很多人，比如说残疾人的故事，一个体育明星的故事，一个普通人的感人故事等等。用途广泛的这个题目可以帮助我们回答非常多关于人的题目，比如你的朋友，你的家人，或令你敬佩的人等等。这不仅可以适用于人物，连事件类的题目都可以轻松套用，比如一个故事，一篇文章，一次采访等等。

此外，值得提醒大家的是，若考试中遇到陌生的题目，建议先从上面的sample中搜索可以使用的内容，平时要养成把答案套用到多个题目的习惯，经过练习，相信大家一定能掌握口语的答题技巧。

雅思口语地点类答题技巧

1. A dream home you would like to have

Where this place is

What it looks like

When you want to live in there

Why you want to live in such a place

对于这个题目，首先审题需要审三个点。一是关键词。我们在拿到一个题目之后需要明白关键词是我们在整片描述中多次使用到的词汇，如果在整个的描述中，我们只能多次的使用一个词，会被判定词汇缺乏，缺少英语语言的灵活使用度。所以看到这个题目我们的第一反应应该是：我可以用什么样的词汇来代替dream和home这两个词。如：dreamy/ surreal/ coveted/ ideal/ optimal/ paradise/ utopia…或abode/ dwelling/ residence/ accommodation/ lodging…其次，我们要考虑的是素材的选择。看到这个题目之后，要先确定要讲的是哪一类房子，也就是下义词的选择。如：bungalow/ cottage/ hut/ villa/ loft/ detached house/ courtyard house…最后，我们要考虑的是时态问题。那对于这个话题，题目当中非常清楚的表明是would like to have所以是将来的一种预期，可以对于一般现在时和一般将来时进行混合使用。

我们在来分析一下这四个小问题，通过观察我们可以发现，其中对于房屋的描述以及对于你为什么想要住在这样的一个房子中的原因解释是相对来讲比较重要的问题。涉及到房子描述时，可能有同学会觉得自己描述的比较抽象和概括，那这就需要你多补充一些关于房子的话题词汇了。比如，我们在描述时可以通过房子的外部环境进行描述【high-rise community/ well-equipped/ satisfactory virescence…】，可以通过内部布局来进行描述【gym/ yoga room/ spacious balcony…】，当然也可以通过内部装饰来进行描述【French window/ vibrant wall paper/ hanging chair/ home theater…】。 那同时还比较重要的是最后一个问题，其实，我们不难发现，基本part two所有的最后一个问题都为感受题，这就证明可能会和我们之前讲到的东西有所重复，遇到此类情况，不需要因为害怕而躲避回答，这样反而让文章显得没有结尾，我们要学会适当的改变一下我们的某些词汇或是句法结构来做一个总结就好。

At the first glance of this topic, the first dream home that springs to my mind is the underwater home. I know it is a little bit surreal. But the perfect image of under-the-sea abode always lingers in my mind. I pictured that the accommodation could feature three floors. Two of these floors will be situated above the water’s surface, offering sweeping views of the ocean from its sunlit rooms and beautiful decks---complete with lounge chairs, dining area, and even a hot tub. The last tier are the most stunning part which will be submerged. This floor will feature walls made entirely out of glass, offering me and my folks a rare view of the surrounding sea life.

As for the time I want to live in it, like I said before, this futuristic concept may seem far-fetched , but I do believe the architects are making their efforts to make it a reality with neo-technology. I’ll just see.

Regards to the reason why I’m so obsessed with this kind of lodgings, the crucial one is that I fancy the ocean a lot. Each time I saw the endless limpid gleaming water, all botheration will just be drowned into the embrace of it. so I reckon that once I live underwater, I will never have the pain in my neck any more. Plus, the underwater home will be the product of cutting-edge technology, which means that it will be smart and eco-friendly. The power supply system, sewage disposal system and heating system will be matched the home in an environmentally- friendly way. It will not only optimize my life, but also save resources relatively. So that’s pretty much I want to share with you.

2. Describe a place you visited that had a lot of people

When and where you went

Who you went with

What you did there

How you felt about this place

对于这个话题，是一个非常典型将地点和旅行结合到一起的一个话题，但此题目中有一个关键词需要大家注意---had a lot of people，那我们需要意译一下它的同义词，如：crowded/ crammed/ busy/ bustling/ gilded…再来分析一下四个小问题，同时我们也看到，在四个问题中并没有涉及人多的问题，但既然是关键词，当然要在背景介绍城市时或是在讲解我们在旅行途中做的事情的时候，拥挤的状况是什么样子的。其次，在整个描述中，第三个问题是最为重要的，旅途中经历的事情，就像之前我提过的一样，需要从两个方面来分析展开描述，注意逻辑。

Speaking of a place I visited that was crammed, the first venue that pops up to my mind is one of the tropical gems---Phuket Thailand, which is located in southern part of Asian continent. It’s a renowned tourist destination, plus, it is commonly referred to as the “Pearl of South”. Specifically, according to the nickname of Phuket., you can picture the gorgeous landscape there. It becomes a must for everyone who loves travelling. I went there with my bestie Lisa last November, cuz the temperature was favorable at that point. When we walked along the seaside, we could enjoy the bracing breeze blowing from the surface of the ocean.

Speaking of what I did there, well, firstly, the views there are breathtaking coz it is a tropical country which could provide us with visual enjoyment, such as the blue gleaming water and boundless stretches of green field. It’s quite picturesque. So we took tons of selfies there. Besides, I heard that the Thai god is efficacious before, and we saw numerous shrines standing on the streets. So we tried the pray stuff. I expect all the wishes could be achieved. What’s more, we definitely sampled the local nightlife, it was extremely novel to me. You know, I had never seen a number of pubs, clubs and theaters in my hometown, and we spent the whole night listening to the pop music and feasting on the beauty of the sleepless island. We had a blast there.

I fancy this spot a lot. The crucial reason is that it was the first time that I had the long trip with my best friend. So it helped me to bring us closer together. And, of course, we commemorated our golden moment via this trip. The other reason is that, it was the great escapism form from the senior period in the university where we were snowed under with tones of schoolwork, like the papers, jobs-hunting stuff. I have to come clean that I absolutely felt relived after the trip.

精品阶段的学生，对于某些基础的问题的应对是没有什么大问题的，但主要是part two时间长度的填充，以及要做到言之有物，让考官对于你的描述瞬间在脑海中出现一幅图画的能力有所欠缺。所以我们在讲解时应该多注意对学生怎么有效的使用下义词来进行更为精确的描述要更多的引导，这有这样才能保证学生在考试中能够具体有效的交流，而不是泛泛而谈。

雅思口语的提升不是单纯的靠着答案的背诵就可以得到一个理想的分数，相反，有可能会让自己的表演变得更为拙劣，所以，希望每一位同学都可以找到自己的讲话的风格和思路，在考场上能够发挥出最好的水平。

雅思口语背答案技巧

1、语速

最常见的一种现象就是背诵的回答和即兴表达的回答语速不同。这个现象在卡片题尤为突出。很多考生在回答基础题，尤其是一些稍复杂话题时语速偏慢，停顿犹豫和重复现象较多，但到了自己准备过的卡片题，语速明显提高，且很少停顿犹豫，自信心上看就像换了个人。这就是一个明确的indication，这个卡片题你准备过了。如果背诵痕迹明显，考官可能会觉得听不下去，打断你的回答，并提前进入part3提高题环节。

另外一个背诵痕迹体现在语速变化上。我们在正常聊天时语速会出现快慢变化。我们讲话一激动，有时候说话会稍微加快，但是有时候讲到了重点，或者是自己需要回忆的地方，语速就会恰当地放慢，这是正常的说话习惯。而不会有人日常沟通时时刻保持完全的匀速。

我们以基础题必考话题之一的social networking sites来大家举个例子好了。When did you start to use social networking sites?

Let me see. Um, it was probably six or seven years ago, when I was in high school. Back then, we had a popular networking site among students, called Renren, which was sort of like the Chinese equivalent of Facebook. However, it wasn’t managed well, so I started to use wechat a couple of years ago. It's a real game-changer. Everyone has shifted to Wechat and its friends circle, I mean, everyone, literally.

一般来说，需要回忆的内容，我们显然是要慢一些说的，比如Let me see; um, 还有具体的数字，例如6 or 7 years. 还有要强调的内容，比如it's a real game-changer; I mean, everyone, literally等，我们的语速同样要放慢，因为这是我们情绪和感受的体现。但是如果是背诵的话，估计就不会有这些正常的语速变化了~

2、停顿

我/今天/去星巴克/点了/一杯美式咖啡。按照中文的逻辑，这个肯定是按照意群来停顿了。如果有个人这样说话：我今/天去星巴/克点了一杯美式咖/啡。这样的话烤鸭们也会觉得有点难受吧，这人显然不知道自己在说什么。英文里面也是这样:I went to Starbucks/ and ordered an Americano,/which is my Dad's favorite,/ as well as mine.越是长的句子，背诵痕迹也会越明显。正确的做法是：在一个语块后面停顿，还有在要强调的重读单词后面停顿。

3、发音和语调

见过很多背诵的烤鸭，他们的发音问题也是蛮明显的。因为背诵的时候，烤鸭估计只认准一个点，那就是“这个是高分的，我能背下来就好了，不用管那么多!”所以有些单词的动名词形式发音不一样【eg: present】;过去式现在时长得一样，但是发音不同【eg:read】;还有一些比较饶舌的单词【eg: characteristic】 估计烤鸭blabla全部一股脑背过去，错了也不管~ 真是当考官吃素的...【maybe真有一两个vegetarian】如果一个单词，尤其是长单词，你的发音很吃力，或者出现多次错误，考官会认为这是考前临时背诵的，并不是你平时英语表达会使用的词汇。

还有就是语调，考官最反感的就是robotic tone, 从头到尾像机器人一样一个语调。就像前面说的，人一激动，语速会变快，而声调的起伏也一样会起变化。就好像我们中文里面，讲到些开心，激动的事情，会不由自主地升调;讲到伤心，沮丧的事情，会降调一样~ 你说话的时候语调一成不变，又不是在播新闻联播，考官怎么可能不怀疑~

4、答题思路

除了语速之外，答题思路也是考官判定你是否背诵的一个渠道。最容易出现背诵痕迹的主要有两点：1. 前后矛盾;2. 文不对题。比如说，在基础题Sport的话题的时候，烤鸭可能说了自己不喜欢运动;但是到了卡片题An article you read online or from magazines about healthy living，或者An activity you do to keep fit的时候，自己又变成了健身狂人~ 这种难道不是前后矛盾么?另外文不对题也有这个情况，尤其是P3部分，很多问题都是考官即兴提问的，因此很多烤鸭自作聪明，把考官的问题rephrase成自己准备过的话题，硬往准备过的内容上拉。这种生拉硬拽，加上考官对你语速还有语音语调等方面的考察，很可能就会判定你为背诵了~

5、语言风格

如果你的表达特别“written English”，也很可能被判定为背诵。这个现象在基础题尤为明显。很多同学的习惯是，看到话题就把自己的答案“写”下来。无论你是5-6分的考生，还是7-8分的考生，“写”出来的东西肯定比“说”出来的东西要formal很多。背了“写”好的范例，肯定会让考官感觉很不自然。这也就是为什么真正厉害的雅思口语老师在给大家准备范例的时候都是直接答题，把录音转换为文字，再润色。如果你有提前准备范例的习惯，不妨按照这个方法来试试。

6、肢体语言

这一点，应该就不必多说了。虽然口语考试是要以你的语言水平为标准，但是毕竟也是一个主观考试。考试时边说边望天，望地，望窗外，低头扣手的，考官都会认为你有可能是在背诵。想要让自己看上去自然些、真诚些，就看着考官的眼睛【太紧张就看他鼻子】。另外也要适当加一些肢体语言，比如你说到it is this big, 说到this big的时候可以用手比划一下“这么大”。此外，一般来说，如果你是有交流欲望的话，身体都会稍稍前倾，表示对谈话有兴趣or自己有很多内容要表达的~ 这些细节烤鸭们也要留意下~

雅思口语得分技巧

词汇和语法

先看词汇和语法这两项中国学生比较熟悉且擅长的部分，多年来的应试教育使得中国学生学习语言的重点几乎都落在了背单词和做语法题这两个部分，客观地说，中国学生的词汇不少，至少很多学生表示“看到都能认识”，可“就是想不起来用”，而雅思口语的要求偏偏就是不见得词汇量有多少，而是是否学过的词都能用等很好。

比如我们在介绍building这个话题的时候，大多数同学其实想不起来architecture这样的词，但当这个词放在他们面前的时候，绝大多数同学都是认识的。所以雅思的词汇不等于词汇量大，等同于“能用”、“用得灵活”、“能够用有限的词汇表达复杂的意思”等更加侧重于应用的部分。语法其实跟词汇的问题类似，我们在中学里做了太多太多的语法题，会给句子挑错，能读懂很复杂的句子，但当我们自己在说的时候，往往就只会很简答的句子。

因此我们对雅思口语评分标准提及的词汇和语法不要过多的解读，其实记住“灵活运用”才是他的核心。然而跟词汇语法相比，流利性和连贯性以及语音才是我们达分提分的关键。

给考官留下好印象

从总体的情况来看，就大多数基础一般的同学来说，词汇和语法的差别不大，比较能体现学生口语水平的地方主要在“流利”和“语音”两大块，这就要从雅思口试“人人对话”的模式说起。既然考试的对象不是机器是人，那我们不能不忽略“人”的主观印象对学生英语口语能力的影响。

什么样的考生能让考官留下好的第一印象呢?首先，当然要听着“顺”，说话不能有频繁的停顿，“顺”其实代表的是对话题相关词汇和语法的熟练程度。哪怕内容并不复杂，但只要符合“顺”的要素，是绝对可以给考官留下很好的印象的，而事实证明，只要说得比较顺，没有很大的问题，大多数考生其实可以拿到6分的口语成绩。当然不得不承认，语音语调在这里也会起到一些作用。中国学生在口语表达是不够大方自信，而多年不开口也导致语音语调很平板没有启起伏，让听者不知不觉觉得很无聊，而分散了注意力。

加上中国考生众多，思路雷同，表达相近，所以很难拿到高分也是有自身的原因。但站在考官的角度，如果对方是个个性外向，表达出强烈的交流意愿，且竭尽所能用自己的语汇表达自己的想法，其实对考官来说至少是“有能力”的，也是“有趣的”，如果音调能够有抑扬顿挫，或者至少有起伏，听着“不无聊”，那其实6分的口语成绩也没有那么难。

如何短期提升口语能力

分析下来，针对大多数基础一般甚至较弱的同学来说，想要在短期内体提高雅思口语成绩，让自己迅速突破6的关卡，一练“流利”，二练“语音”。流利程度怎么来?很简单，老师上课讲的问题，或者自己回家复习的问题，是不是每一个都过关了?每一个都可以回答得很流利?如果没有，一个一个问题练，一遍不行说两遍，两遍不行说三遍，直到自己觉得自己终于说得顺畅了问题。每一个问题都要这样过，坚持下去，你会发现，很多表达是有相通之处的，之前练得很熟悉的表达说不定下次就能用得上。

但有同学会问，那我怎么保证我的内容好不好。之前提到过，口语里的词汇和语法对于大多数同学来说，水平相处并不大，而拉开差距的主要是熟练程度，哪怕内容简单些，但说得足够顺溜，对达到大多数同学出国留学的基本分数线，是够的。
