1.雅思口語有哪些常見話題
雅思口語話題部分經(jīng)常圍繞考生的Personal Infor mation展開,包括:
學(xué)習(xí)工作類,如what is your opinion about your job/major 。
興趣愛好類,如What do you usually do in your free time 。
家鄉(xiāng)背景類介紹,如can you say something different about your hometown。
這一類考題所涉及到的話題經(jīng)常圍繞于music, reading, TV, film, sport, Internet。
雅思口語部分話題的考題適當(dāng)?shù)倪M(jìn)行一些延展,可以歸為衣食住行四大類:
衣-話題,經(jīng)常圍繞于平時著裝風(fēng)格進(jìn)行提問,這里相關(guān)延展類話題就涉及到了購物,逛街類的話題,希望同學(xué)們要多加注意。
食-話題,如中國傳統(tǒng)食物與西方食物的對比介紹,吃飯地點的選擇問題,時下受歡迎的飯店類型,也會關(guān)注健康類話題,如:how to lead ahealthy life ?
住-話題,住所的類型,周圍環(huán)境,房屋裝飾,以及你對于裝修風(fēng)格的品位及觀點。
行-話題,交通工具話題,旅游話題,運動話題等。
雅思口語第三部分話題是圍繞第二部分的topic提出的一系列延展類話題,所以重點還是以第二部分為基準(zhǔn),第二部分的考題有五大類:人物類,地點類,事件類,物品類以及高科技類。
人物類側(cè)重于famous person, old person, children這幾類人。
地點類則偏向于一個有趣的地方,美麗的地方,有歷史文化的地方等。
事件類可以通過發(fā)生在考生自己身上難忘的一件事進(jìn)行描述。
物品類和高科技類有些相同之處,就是指時下流行的高科技產(chǎn)品的相關(guān)介紹,或是一個對你很有影響的東西。高科技類可以圍繞社會發(fā)展中熟悉的問題進(jìn)行詳細(xì)描述就可以了。
2.雅思口語的時態(tài)問題
將來完成時:
用來表示在將來某一時間以前已經(jīng)完成, 或一直持續(xù)的動作。經(jīng)常與before+將來時間或by+將來時間連用,也可與before或by the time或by the end of短語引導(dǎo)的現(xiàn)在時的從句連用。
I will have learned 4000 words by next year.
You will have reached Beijing by this time tomorrow.
現(xiàn)在完成時,過去完成時和將來完成時的區(qū)別:
1. 現(xiàn)在完成時以現(xiàn)在時間為參照點,表示在“現(xiàn)在”以前完成的動作或持續(xù)到“現(xiàn)在”的狀態(tài);
2. 過去完成時則以過去時間為參照點,表示在“過去”某一時間以前發(fā)生的動作或持續(xù)到“過去”某一時間的狀態(tài);
3. 將來完成時則以將來時間為參照點,表示在“將來”某一時間為止已經(jīng)完成的動作或持續(xù)到“將來”某一時間的狀態(tài)。
He has finished writing his novel. 他已寫完了他的小說。
He had finished writing his novel by the end of last year. 去年年底他就寫完他的小說。
He will have finished writing his novel by the end of next year. 到明年年底他就會寫完他的小說了。
其他將來完成時態(tài)的例子:
1、 By the time I graduate, I will have learned a lot about literature. 到我畢業(yè)的時候,我會學(xué)到關(guān)于文學(xué)的內(nèi)容。(study 這個話題)
2 、This time next year, I will have finished my course.到明年這個時候,我將會完成這個課程。(study 這個話題)
3、 I will have lived here for 6 years by next year.到明年的時候我就住這6年了。(home這個話題)
4 、By the time you get home I will have cleaned the house from top to bottom.
你到家之前我將把房子徹底打掃一遍。(daily routine這個話題)
3.雅思口語中不熟悉的話題如何應(yīng)對
1.減少描述,增加議論
考生會集中精力去思考如何Describe,再人物題中會用語言去描述外貌特征,如大眼睛,長睫毛,粉色臉頰,好看的嘴唇。
但是面對這些語句,除非是口語基礎(chǔ)不錯的考生,不然就會給自己減分。
人物題其實算是容易描述的題目了,那物品題描述一個家用電器怎么辦,如何去Describe?
以a washing machine為例,考生想到的內(nèi)容可能是顏色,Its color is white. 大小,It‘s one meter high. 別的似乎沒什么可講的了。
再這個節(jié)點就可以增加議論或評價。對于顏色,可以添加的內(nèi)容是The reason why I chose this color is that it matches well with my bathroom and besides, white has always been my favorite color. It’s clean. You know.
而對于大小,也可評價一番It is actually the smallest size at that time. I put it in the corner, and it takes only a little space.
由此可見,評價性的語言一般比描述更具體,可以當(dāng)做是對前一句的補充說明或者是例證拓展。這種對于每一點信息都要給出議論的習(xí)慣要養(yǎng)成,可以使我們的說話更有內(nèi)容。
2.變抽象為具體
同學(xué)沒話說,特別是抽象話題,如Describe a success.總覺得success肯定是像選美國總統(tǒng)一樣的事跡,對照自己好像找不到什么素材。
其實如果把success具體化,看作是successfully did sth,構(gòu)思就會容易許多?梢灾v成功地網(wǎng)上交友、購物,與網(wǎng)絡(luò)話題結(jié)合,可以講成功地交到一個知心益友,與朋友話題相結(jié)合。
又如part 3中的一些抽象問題,如How has technology changed people‘s life? 如果單從較高層面總的去概括科技如何改變生活會覺得語言內(nèi)容上頻頻受限,而換個角度,如果把change具體化,舉自己的家庭為例,講起來就順口多了。
Well, technology did change our life a lot. Take my family as an example, ten years ago, we used electric fan in hot summer but now the air-conditioning brings us more comfort.
3.扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤,話題轉(zhuǎn)移
時間短,講自己又準(zhǔn)備的話題,這樣至少在語言質(zhì)量上能略勝一籌。
這里想給大家說的是口語考試重形式而非內(nèi)容,考生只要能巧妙自然地將拿到的話題轉(zhuǎn)到自己覺得熟悉的內(nèi)容上來,必定會有的效果。
4.雅思口語句型
對于雅思口語考試,考生應(yīng)該再平時積累一些句型,但是一些英語基礎(chǔ)薄弱的學(xué)生來說可能只會死記硬背,但是這樣做并不能對雅思口語的考試成績有的,因為要學(xué)會如何利用,才對雅思成績有明顯的效果。
一、名詞性從句經(jīng)典系列
、 The reason why I (admire him/like the place…) is that +從句
、 The most important thing is that+從句
、 Another thing is that+從句
、 What I mean is that + 從句
、 What I’d like to say is that +從句
以上名詞性從句①到③是引出個人觀點或信息時的過渡句型,這樣可以起到建構(gòu)框架,使條理清晰層次分明的作用。第④句和⑤句是進(jìn)一步解釋說明。套用實例:
The reason why I admire Yaoming is that he is a legend and also a great guy. The most important thing is that he is one of China’s most recognizable athletes. What I mean is, his image can be seen everywhere, he is a household name. Another thing is that Yao has also participated in many charity events during his career. What I’d like to say is that he not only donated money to relief work, but also created a foundation to help those in need.
二、定語從句經(jīng)典系列
、 (名詞或代詞) is the kind of (person/place/thing…) who (which/that) is…
、 (名詞或代詞) is a (person/ place…) who (which) gives you the impression of being…
③ (名詞或代詞)is one of the most (形容詞) (名詞) I have ever seen/met/known.
、 (地點名稱) is a place where you can do sth.
、 (時間名詞) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.
說明:雅思口語話題頻繁涉及人物,地點,事物,事件四大類,上面的原句是在回答此類問題時學(xué)生經(jīng)常使用的句型。其缺點過于簡短,一不能體現(xiàn)語法優(yōu)勢,二不能湊字?jǐn)?shù)爭取時間。套用句型后表達(dá)效果就不一樣了。所以定語從句的使用在口語中可以起到“包裝”作用。
5.雅思口語的旅行話題問答
問題一:Which city do you want to go travelling?
參考答案:It hasalways been my dream to go travelling in Shanghai, which is a sleepless city.Wherever you go, you can see shopping malls and department stores. I am a bigfan of shopping. Especially when it comes to the end-of-season sale, Ijust can’t help rushing into shopping malls and shop until drop. And all youneed to do is soaking up everything that city life has to offer:ordering take-away at any time of a day, shopping at stores which open 24hours, hanging out at nightclubs all night long. It would be so fantastic.
問題二: Someone prefer to enjoy the sceneryalong the way,others like to go the destination directly. Which one do youthink is better,why?
參考答案1:I prefer to take my time and enjoy thescenery along the way. Firstly, there can be some surprisingly beautiful sightson the way, and I don‘t want to miss it. It can be even better than mydestination. In addition, trip is a way of relaxation instead of a job. So youdon’t need to rush yourself, otherwise I may already feel tired when I get to mydestination. I‘d like to relax from the moment I set out. So, that’s my reasonfor sight-seeing along the way.
參考答案2:I prefer going to the destinationdirectly. I am so busy, so there is no way for me to travel every year. Beforethe trip I will make a plan, like where to go, which resort to visit andwhen I return. I will decide the place appealing to me most. If I payattention to other places, I will hurry to the destination and visit resortsone by one with no rest. I could be too tired to work effectively as soon as Ireturn home.
問題三:Do you think relaxation is important?
參考答案: thinkit is very important. It is very hard to imagine how someone can work 7 dayswithout taking any break. We need to get a physical, mental and emotionalbalance to enjoy the purpose and beauty of life. As an old saying goes,“ Allwork and no play makes jack a dull boy.” So we need to “stop and smell theroses”. My motto is “Work hard, play harder!” Getting relaxation regularly willtake me away from all the hustle and bustle of the city and make me feelrelaxed and vigorous.
