1.雅思口語(yǔ)有哪些常見(jiàn)話題
雅思口語(yǔ)話題部分經(jīng)常圍繞考生的Personal Infor mation展開(kāi),包括:
學(xué)習(xí)工作類(lèi),如what is your opinion about your job/major 。
興趣愛(ài)好類(lèi),如What do you usually do in your free time 。
家鄉(xiāng)背景類(lèi)介紹,如can you say something different about your hometown。
這一類(lèi)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(yǔ)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(lèi):
衣-話題,經(jīng)常圍繞于平時(shí)著裝風(fēng)格進(jìn)行提問(wèn),這里相關(guān)延展類(lèi)話題就涉及到了購(gòu)物,逛街類(lèi)的話題,希望同學(xué)們要多加注意。
食-話題,如中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)食物與西方食物的對(duì)比介紹,吃飯地點(diǎn)的選擇問(wèn)題,時(shí)下受歡迎的飯店類(lèi)型,也會(huì)關(guān)注健康類(lèi)話題,如:how to lead ahealthy life ?
住-話題,住所的類(lèi)型,周?chē)h(huán)境,房屋裝飾,以及你對(duì)于裝修風(fēng)格的品位及觀點(diǎn)。
行-話題,交通工具話題,旅游話題,運(yùn)動(dòng)話題等。
雅思口語(yǔ)第三部分話題是圍繞第二部分的topic提出的一系列延展類(lèi)話題,所以重點(diǎn)還是以第二部分為基準(zhǔn),第二部分的考題有五大類(lèi):人物類(lèi),地點(diǎn)類(lèi),事件類(lèi),物品類(lèi)以及高科技類(lèi)。
人物類(lèi)側(cè)重于famous person, old person, children這幾類(lèi)人。
地點(diǎn)類(lèi)則偏向于一個(gè)有趣的地方,美麗的地方,有歷史文化的地方等。
事件類(lèi)可以通過(guò)發(fā)生在考生自己身上難忘的一件事進(jìn)行描述。
物品類(lèi)和高科技類(lèi)有些相同之處,就是指時(shí)下流行的高科技產(chǎn)品的相關(guān)介紹,或是一個(gè)對(duì)你很有影響的東西。高科技類(lèi)可以圍繞社會(huì)發(fā)展中熟悉的問(wèn)題進(jìn)行詳細(xì)描述就可以了。
2.雅思口語(yǔ)的時(shí)態(tài)問(wèn)題
將來(lái)完成時(shí):
用來(lái)表示在將來(lái)某一時(shí)間以前已經(jīng)完成, 或一直持續(xù)的動(dòng)作。經(jīng)常與before+將來(lái)時(shí)間或by+將來(lái)時(shí)間連用,也可與before或by the time或by the end of短語(yǔ)引導(dǎo)的現(xiàn)在時(shí)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(shí),過(guò)去完成時(shí)和將來(lái)完成時(shí)的區(qū)別:
1. 現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)以現(xiàn)在時(shí)間為參照點(diǎn),表示在“現(xiàn)在”以前完成的動(dòng)作或持續(xù)到“現(xiàn)在”的狀態(tài);
2. 過(guò)去完成時(shí)則以過(guò)去時(shí)間為參照點(diǎn),表示在“過(guò)去”某一時(shí)間以前發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或持續(xù)到“過(guò)去”某一時(shí)間的狀態(tài);
3. 將來(lái)完成時(shí)則以將來(lái)時(shí)間為參照點(diǎn),表示在“將來(lái)”某一時(shí)間為止已經(jīng)完成的動(dòng)作或持續(xù)到“將來(lái)”某一時(shí)間的狀態(tài)。
He has finished writing his novel. 他已寫(xiě)完了他的小說(shuō)。
He had finished writing his novel by the end of last year. 去年年底他就寫(xiě)完他的小說(shuō)。
He will have finished writing his novel by the end of next year. 到明年年底他就會(huì)寫(xiě)完他的小說(shuō)了。
其他將來(lái)完成時(shí)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(shí)候,我會(huì)學(xué)到關(guān)于文學(xué)的內(nèi)容。(study 這個(gè)話題)
2 、This time next year, I will have finished my course.到明年這個(gè)時(shí)候,我將會(huì)完成這個(gè)課程。(study 這個(gè)話題)
3、 I will have lived here for 6 years by next year.到明年的時(shí)候我就住這6年了。(home這個(gè)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(gè)話題)
3.雅思口語(yǔ)中不熟悉的話題如何應(yīng)對(duì)
1.減少描述,增加議論
考生會(huì)集中精力去思考如何Describe,再人物題中會(huì)用語(yǔ)言去描述外貌特征,如大眼睛,長(zhǎng)睫毛,粉色臉頰,好看的嘴唇。
但是面對(duì)這些語(yǔ)句,除非是口語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)不錯(cuò)的考生,不然就會(huì)給自己減分。
人物題其實(shí)算是容易描述的題目了,那物品題描述一個(gè)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(méi)什么可講的了。
再這個(gè)節(jié)點(diǎn)就可以增加議論或評(píng)價(jià)。對(duì)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(duì)于大小,也可評(píng)價(jià)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(jiàn),評(píng)價(jià)性的語(yǔ)言一般比描述更具體,可以當(dāng)做是對(duì)前一句的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明或者是例證拓展。這種對(duì)于每一點(diǎn)信息都要給出議論的習(xí)慣要養(yǎng)成,可以使我們的說(shuō)話更有內(nèi)容。
2.變抽象為具體
同學(xué)沒(méi)話說(shuō),特別是抽象話題,如Describe a success.總覺(jué)得success肯定是像選美國(guó)總統(tǒng)一樣的事跡,對(duì)照自己好像找不到什么素材。
其實(shí)如果把success具體化,看作是successfully did sth,構(gòu)思就會(huì)容易許多?梢灾v成功地網(wǎng)上交友、購(gòu)物,與網(wǎng)絡(luò)話題結(jié)合,可以講成功地交到一個(gè)知心益友,與朋友話題相結(jié)合。
又如part 3中的一些抽象問(wèn)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(huì)覺(jué)得語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容上頻頻受限,而換個(gè)角度,如果把change具體化,舉自己的家庭為例,講起來(lái)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(shí)間短,講自己又準(zhǔn)備的話題,這樣至少在語(yǔ)言質(zhì)量上能略勝一籌。
這里想給大家說(shuō)的是口語(yǔ)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(jué)得熟悉的內(nèi)容上來(lái),必定會(huì)有的效果。
4.雅思口語(yǔ)句型
對(duì)于雅思口語(yǔ)考試,考生應(yīng)該再平時(shí)積累一些句型,但是一些英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)薄弱的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)可能只會(huì)死記硬背,但是這樣做并不能對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)的考試成績(jī)有的,因?yàn)橐獙W(xué)會(huì)如何利用,才對(duì)雅思成績(jī)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
② 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(gè)人觀點(diǎn)或信息時(shí)的過(guò)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(shuō)明。套用實(shí)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(yǔ)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(diǎn)名稱) is a place where you can do sth.
⑤ (時(shí)間名詞) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.
說(shuō)明:雅思口語(yǔ)話題頻繁涉及人物,地點(diǎn),事物,事件四大類(lèi),上面的原句是在回答此類(lèi)問(wèn)題時(shí)學(xué)生經(jīng)常使用的句型。其缺點(diǎn)過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)短,一不能體現(xiàn)語(yǔ)法優(yōu)勢(shì),二不能湊字?jǐn)?shù)爭(zhēng)取時(shí)間。套用句型后表達(dá)效果就不一樣了。所以定語(yǔ)從句的使用在口語(yǔ)中可以起到“包裝”作用。
5.雅思口語(yǔ)的旅行話題問(wèn)答
問(wèn)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(wèn)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(wèn)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.
