雅思口语事件描述
发布时间:2022-05-12 18:11:42雅思口语事件描述
雅思口语part 2部分让很多考生闻风丧胆,其实只要掌握了正确的代替思路,我们就能搞定part 2不在话下。
最近,经常能听到身边的不少“烤鸭”们抱怨不知如何描述事件类的雅思口语话题,例如:
Describe a positive experience you had before
You should say:
What it was
When it happened
Where it occurred
And explain why you like it
细心的“烤鸭”不难发现,此题作为 “事件类” 话题,在以往的众多老话题中都能找到它的影子。比如,去年第二部分的高频话题 “describe something that you did with a group of people”【描述你和一些人一起做的一件事】和 “describe a project or homework you did”【描述你做的一个项目或作业】,都完全可以作为描述这所谓的“积极的经历”的雅思口语选材。
首先,考生必须直截了当回答考官这次积极的经历是什么:
One of the most positive experiences that I have ever had in my life was that I was rewarded with a Nokia 0323 cell phone by my father, since I had done well in the high school entrance exam years ago.
其次,当考生阐述这次经历所发生的时间与地点时,应当围绕这次特别经历的本身作适当的展开,把事件的前因后果描述清晰,让考官明白它的“积极”究竟体现在哪:
Clearly, I remember that before the exam came, I had been working extremely hard on it days and nights for at least 3 months, as I was eager to enter my favorite high school in Shanghai. What is sure is that during that period of time, I was making every effort to realizing my very first dream. I stayed up late until 2 o’clock in the early morning on a daily basis.
Eventually, when the results came out, I was so excited that I was admitted to my dream high school in the upcoming semester.
最后,聪明的“烤鸭”要学会如何点出自己喜欢这次特别经历的原因:
Even my whole family and friends were over the moon for me. More excitingly, my dad bought me a cell phone, Nokia 0323, the next day as an award. He told me that he was so proud of me and I deserved it. It was the first time that I received a present from my dad.
Now, the phone is still lying in the drawer next to my bed, although it is completely out of date, which keeps reminding me of a positive experience I had before.
雅思口语如何描述事件类话题
很多烤鸭在答题时容易讲成流水账式的叙述,没有突出重点。事件类的话题往往牵涉到描述事件的时间、地点、人物、发生的事情这几大要素。因此,要想清晰地描述出事件的始末,不妨先列出需要表达内容的提纲,这样,按照提纲来描述就顺理成章了。根据事件经历类话题的特点,我们可以把话题的内容分为几个部分:
1. 事件发生的背景【Why it happened】;
2. 事件发生前的情况和状态【Prepare for it】;
3. 事件发生的时间、地点、人物【When/where/who】;
4. 事件的具体内容【What the people did in the event】;
5. 一至两个亮点的细节描述【What impressed you most】;
6. 感受【How do you feel about it或 What you learned from it】;
事件经历类话题的答题重点依然要放在最后一个问题上【一般来说最后一个问题会问 why it happened或 how do you feel about it】,多数考生也基本可以回答到 3和 4,但容易忽略的是细节描述和事情发生前的一些铺垫,也就是说答题过于平淡,缺少亮点。
口语话题的内容很重要,描述能否引起考官的兴趣,能否在结束后给考官留下一个深刻的印象,是烤鸭是否能得到高分的关键。所以答题中的亮点是必不可少的。所谓亮点,是指叙述中能够吸引听者的有意思、波澜起伏的细节或片段。它可以是举例、某个具体的动作、事物的色彩、形状等能够给别人想象空间,从而引起兴趣的点。亮点的范围比具体内容还要细致入微,因此我们在组织语言时可以抓住一至两个点来提升答题的新鲜感和趣味性。
下面以一道曾经的 part2的答题范例为例,和大家分享下时间经历类话题应该是体现答题亮点的。
Describe a time you experienced a long-time traffic jam.
You should say:
when and where it happened;
how long you were in the traffic jam;
what you did to try to get out of the problem situation;
and explain how you felt about that traffic jam.
参考范文:
Several weeks ago, I was on a bus to my workplace, as usual. But I didn't expect that the bus would get stuck right in the middle of a bridge. A car got rear-ended by another one, the two drivers were quarreling ferociously, they almost broke into a fight at some point. The traffic police were there, but there was nothing they could do. And all the cars and buses where just stuck there, with drivers honking and passengers cursing. It was totally chaotic.
Since I'm just a passenger, I could do nothing about the problem. But if I were the traffic policeman, I would stop those two drivers with forces, and towed away their cars, so that the rest of us could get pass. About this traffic congestion, I felt completely irritated. My work begins sharply at nine o'clock, but it was already eight forty, and there were still six stops to go. I could never make it on time.
I tried to tell myself to calm down and read some news reports on my cellphone, but I was distracted and disgusted by the foul language of those two angry drivers, and the complains of other passengers around me. And what upset me even more was that the traffic policeman was just writing stuff on his notebook, without doing anything practical. And I felt sorry for those two drivers. Had they acted more rationally, they wouldn't have caused such a scene. But I guess they would never know that until they saw their pictures on the front page the next day. That traffic jam lasted for about an hour, and it utterly ruined my day.
雅思口语地道词汇如何积累
现在很多学生都有看美剧的习惯。目前,在班级当中一问,得到的答案一般是,“生活大爆炸”啊,“破产女孩”啊,以及“权力的游戏”居多。大家都觉得,看美剧嘛,能学习英语啊,又来得轻松。但是仔细看,却会发现,不是说只要看美剧就能学好英语这么简单。
有的人,注重的只是画面感和情节,中文字幕看得带劲得很,哪来得及顾及其中听力和语言。尤其是“权力的游戏”,“行尸走肉”这种情节跌宕起伏,场面宏大的,很难静下心来很好地学习其中的语言。而且其中场景用到的语言,有的很晦涩,有的离实际生活和考试关联性不大。学生其实看了三四季之后,只不过是走马观花地欣赏了一遍情节。所以其实大家在选剧的时候,应该尽量选择口味清淡,带有生活化的类型。如同破产姐妹呀,摩登家庭呀之类。
所以我觉得能够真正用英文字幕看美剧,并且真的能把好的用法学习来,是个不简单的过程。首先,我个人推荐,反复看同样一集。并且最好这一集的所在全季都是看过的,这样也没有“根本停不下来”想继续往下看的对情节的强烈好奇。
其次,必须有英文字幕。而且在看的过程当中,遇到好的用法可以截图。这样的截图下来的内容,才是你自己在真实情景当中学到的,很生动形象。不会像参考书中过于枯燥。
下面还有就是,能不能将自己截图到的好的用法,真正造句子,用在自己的雅思口语考试当中了。比如说,我在看“都市女孩子”这部剧的时候,就有一个这样的场景。女主人公Marni失恋了之后,每天坐在家里失魂落魄。她妈妈走了过来,说到,我当年给你起这个名字,就是想让你坚强和独立的。英文是这么说的“It has a legacy of strength and independence.”这句话完全可以用在part1考官问我们自己名字意思的时候。
还有一个场景,Marni喜欢上了自己好朋友的男朋友Ray,两个人偶尔秘密拍拖,因此有一天Ray说,我真的不安“I am on pins and needles”,这个用法完全可以用在part2迟到的场合,忘记东西场合,心里很焦急不安的时候,e.g. “Suddenly I found my ID card missing. I looked for it everywhere, but all my effort seemed to be in vain. I was really on pins and needles. ”
雅思口语part2事件类话题怎么回答
一、可以选择从题目的举例中入手
为什么从题目的举例中入手呢?因为既然是出题官方给的例子,那么考生在运用的过程中肯定不会出现偏题的情况。除此以外,直接使用原题中的例子,可以为考生节约备考时间,也就说考生不要花费太多时间去进行头脑风暴。所以,一般对于思路比较窄的学生而言,在出现大脑“短路”,无法想到合适的素材的情况下,考生可以直接选择题目当中直接给出的例子。
二、在答题时,考生要拓展思路,不能被考题束缚
对于雅思口语话题比较熟悉的考生一定不难发现,在考题中经常会出现一些限定语,例如,在上面的例子中出现了限定语“you attended recently”,考生在答题的时候千万不能被这样的限定语所迷惑,认为只能说 “近期”,大家大可以把自己熟悉拿手的素材进行修改,来满足题目当中限定语部分的要求。因为,毕竟在口语考试时考官与你并不相熟,所以不必担心考官知道你“造假”。那么,根据以上所说的两点,大家可以谈谈近期参加的Wedding。
三、确定答题方向,整理词汇素材
在解决了素材的选择问题之后,考生下面要做的就是思考相关词汇。既然我们在这里要谈及近期参加的婚礼,那么关于婚礼,考生需要记住相关词汇。在进行词汇补充时,建议考生问自己四个W: when, where, who, what。因为在事件题当中,这四个W是基本要素,是必须回答和解决的问题。
When: 对于这一要素,非常容易,只要考生满足“recently”这个要求即可,于是大家可选one month ago或者last week等等。
Where: 婚礼的地点一般会选择church或者是hotel。考生们在此请注意:没有人会在restaurant结婚的,所以请注意hotel和restaurant的区别。
Who: 考生一定要知道以下婚礼中人物的表达方式bridegroom, bride, bestman, maid of honor, officiant, guest, flower girl。
What: 可以选取婚礼中主要场景的词汇进行表达,不需要面面俱到,毕竟考试时间有限。例如:
exchange wedding vows交换婚礼誓词
exchange wedding rings交换婚戒
pronounce the new couple husband and wife宣布新人结为夫妇
toss the bouquet抛捧花
四、找到“自我存在”
考生在进行事件题的话题描述和练习的时候,上述三个步骤确定后,需要找到“自我存在”。毕竟这是自己经历的事情。那么“自我存在”的位置如何寻找呢?很简单,从刚才我们所提到的4W要素中的who部分入手,把自己带入其中。比如说适合考生的“自我存在”有bestman、maid of honor、guests等等。其中女生在寻找自己的位置的时候,甚至可以把自己放置在接到新娘捧花的位置上,“you know, I was the person who got the bouquet”。因为这非常符合英语国家文化,在表述时可以拉近自身与考官之间的距离,“and that is the reason why this wedding is so memorable to me”。切记“自我存在”是十分重要的。
五、注意时态问题
当然,考生还需要注意事件题的一个考点:过去时,这也是中国考生经常在口试中容易出现的错误之一。那么考生们在平时备考口语话题时,要尤其注意对于过去式的敏感性和练习度,在考场上更要注意不要因为语法错误而影响得分。
