第一篇：雅思口語音樂類話題解析之最喜愛的歌手

雅思口語音樂類話題解析之最喜愛的歌手

朗閣海外考試研究中心

徐曉青

關(guān)于音樂的話題，一直以來在雅思口語試題中都占有一席之地。從Part 1中考察考生“最喜愛的音樂類型”、“小時候聽過的歌曲”，到Part 2當前的考題“最喜愛的歌手或者樂隊”，都對考生就音樂領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)詞匯表達，例如：歌手風格、曲風、歌曲元素等進行了相對抽象的考察。在本文中，朗閣海外考試研究中心的專家將為大家解析音樂類話題的答題秘籍。

根據(jù)實際課堂反饋得出，許多學生當被問到喜歡什么類型的歌曲時，往往最常見的答案就是pop music。這其中，還有相當一部分學生會將流行音樂誤以為是popular music。雖然大多數(shù)情況下，pop和popular是可以通用的，但當表示音樂類型的時候，這是兩個截然不同的概念。popular作為形容詞的時候表達的含義是“流行的”，所以popular music表達的“流行音樂”體裁不限，范圍更廣，例如：R&B, Rock, Hip-hop, Pop等。而單純的pop music則指的是以歌頌愛情為主題，主打年輕人為市場，結(jié)合各種樂器碰撞出來的混合效果的音樂。所以，足以見得，pop music是屬于popular music中的一種。

當然，需要提醒廣大考生們注意的是，考官的耳朵已經(jīng)開始疲憊了，所以這些“大眾”答案已經(jīng)不能讓你脫穎而出了。關(guān)于音樂種類，光光知道一個pop music是遠遠不夠的。最好，考生在全面了解各種音樂種類的同時，還能熟悉各種類型相應(yīng)的代表歌手及代表曲目。下面，筆者將為考生們整理出一些主流的相關(guān)詞匯表達：

1.classical music古典音樂。在朗文字典上的解釋為music that people consider serious and that has been popular for a long time。而classical music在狹義上指的是海頓(Haydn)、貝多芬(Beethoven)、莫扎特(Mozart)為主流的古典樂派的音樂。

2.country music鄉(xiāng)村音樂，是一種具有美國民族特色的音樂。這種音樂曲調(diào)簡單，節(jié)奏平穩(wěn)，具有敘事性。該類型音樂的代表人物為被許多年輕人追捧的美國小甜妞Taylor Swift。代表曲目Love story和You belong with me。

3.pop music 流行音樂，是廣受年輕人追捧的一種音樂類型。代表歌手有臺灣的Jay Chou（周杰倫）、香港的Andy Lau（劉德華）、美國的lady gaga等。值得注意的是，許多考生也許并不清楚所有歌手的英文名，在考試中提到這些歌手的時候，往往用的仍然是中文名，這會讓考官產(chǎn)生恍惚感，也許很難與考生產(chǎn)生共鳴。所以，在考前做足功課去了解歌星的英文名也是相當有必要的。

4.Rock and Roll搖滾樂。中國搖滾的第一聲音為歌手崔健的《一無所有》。不過，如果考生想和考官聊到搖滾樂，建議考生們選擇國外的代表性樂團和作品，因為過于中國化的東西并不能和考官產(chǎn)生共鳴。相反，如果聊到Beetles（披頭士樂隊）的Hey Jude，這首曾出現(xiàn)在倫敦奧運會上的歌的話，效果就會截然不同。

接下來，我們一起來看看當前關(guān)于“音樂”方面的考題：

Describe a popular music band or a singer in your country.You should say: What it first became popular What style of music it perform Who(what kind of people)like this band or singer And explain why you think they are popular

分析：該話題考察學生描述一個最喜愛的歌手或樂隊，該話題與人物類話題交叉，不僅涉及到音樂的內(nèi)容，在描述歌手的同時，最好也要涉及人物的形象介紹。在教學實踐中，曾經(jīng)有考生提出，在敘述一名歌手時，往往想要提到他的代表曲目，而在考場上又一時想不起來怎么表達歌名，或者比較糾結(jié)自己翻譯的歌曲名稱和官網(wǎng)發(fā)布的不一致怎么辦？

針對歌名翻譯的問題，首先要肯定的是，在考場上用中文描述歌名肯定是行不通的。考生一方面是要在考前針對話題做好充足的準備，如果一時興起想要表達突發(fā)奇想的答案時，也不要慌，盡自己的努力去把歌名用地道的英語翻譯一下。即使官方不是這么翻譯的也沒有關(guān)系，因為往往中文歌曲考官本來就了解不多。其實歌名本不重要，重點是歌曲內(nèi)容及其特色上的語言表達才是與考官產(chǎn)生共鳴的取勝之道。

下面是針對上述考題的范文，供廣大考生們參考：

When it comes to a popular singer in my country, I’d like to say a few words on a female singer called G.E.M.Actually, she’s born in Shanghai and immigrated to Hong Kong when she was 4 years old.She began to compose and create songs when she was just 5.At the year of 17, she won the award of “New Force Female Singer”.She was the first one who won this prize that under 18.This year, she attended a TV show called “I am a singer” and won the second place of finals.At that period of time, she became a household name in China.Her musical style is full of change and excitement.Her songs include soft Rock, rap, lyric, Broadway.Therefore, she was regarded as an “almighty goddess”.Due to the TV show, lots of young people become the crazy fan of her.People became familiar with her representative works like “what have you done”, “ The rose”, and “ The foam”.Her excellence in singing field has been recognized by the public, I suppose that why she’s so popular in China.

第二篇：雅思口語季節(jié)類話題（本站推薦）

季節(jié)和天氣一直是雅思口語的傳統(tǒng)話題。在第一部分幾乎是每次必考，雖然這類卡片在第二部分的出現(xiàn)率不是非常高，但也會不時突襲。從另一個角度來說，季節(jié)和天氣的談?wù)摽梢载灤┑胶芏嗫碱}之中去論述。比如應(yīng)對關(guān)于體育運動的卡片時，我們也可以略帶描述一下做該運動的適宜天氣。上海環(huán)球雅思口語老師帶來關(guān)于雅思口語季節(jié)類話題。

最近口語機經(jīng)中也考到了季節(jié)的一道題目

Describe your favourite season or time of the year.You should say:

what season(or time of the year)it is

what the weather is like at this time

what you usually do at this time

and explain why you enjoy that season or time of the year.在回答這個問題時，除了上面介紹的各個季節(jié)的特點，還可以加一些描述性句子。

例如, A typical Chinese winter would around __ months between ___ and ____.The reason I’ve chosen winter as my favorite season is because I like ______.先從天氣的季節(jié)開始 — spring, summer, autumn, and winter.談到春天，大家想到的是一幅萬物復蘇，花開草綠的美麗景色，那怎么用英語來表達呢? 萬物復蘇--everything comes back to life.花開草綠-flowers are blooming and trees turn green, the scenery is very spectacular.我們還可以說到春日里溫暖的陽光: It’s warm enough to sit outside in the sunshine.談到夏天，大家首先想到的是熱-hot.除了hot 之外我們可以用 unbearable hot, scorching(灼熱的)來表達難以形容之熱。夏天可以不用像冬天一樣穿一層層的衣服(layers of clothes), 可以穿一些簡單的 shorts and T-shirt.更好的是夏天人們可以參加很多的戶外活動 – there are more things to do in summer, such as going to beach, amusement parks, have barbecue parties.It’s so energetic and vibrant.秋天給人的印象是美麗的落葉。In autumn, the leaves fall off the trees/the leaves begin to change color, transforming landscape into an array of autumn colors.另外談到秋天我們還想到的是秋高氣爽的天氣，秋高氣爽我們可以簡答得表達為 “the sky is crystal clear”.大家還知道秋天是收獲的季節(jié)，“Autumn is also the season of harvest “.既不太熱也不太冷，氣溫很適宜，讓人感到很舒服，”It’s neither too hot nor too cold.The temperature is mild and pleasant, making people feel comfortable”.很多同學喜歡冬天的原因是因為冬天有美麗的雪景，用英文表達即是: It often snows;we have periods of quite heavy snowball.Last winter I remember looking out of the window one morning and seeing everything covered in a layer of white.冬天天氣很冷(freezing cold), 天氣經(jīng)常在零度以下 During those really wintry months, the temperature drops below zero.另外很多重要的節(jié)日在冬季，例如 Christmas, spring new year.

第三篇：雅思口語話題：電影類

環(huán)球雅思口語老師給大家?guī)黻P(guān)于電影類的口語范文一篇，大家可以練習起來囖～ Do you like watching movies? / How often do you go to the cinema?

Definitely, watching movies is my cup of tea.You know, I'm always busy in studying.But I will go to the cinema as often as possible, maybe once every other week because it is one of my favourite ways to relax.I believe films are a wonderful form of art.Many of my friends have the same habit, so we always go to Wanda International Cinema on weekends together, which I think is the best cinema in Beijing.Why do you like to watch films?

Firstly, I think watching films is a good way to relax.You know, when watching a film, I will throw all of my emotion to the story so that I can forget nearly everything about myself, especially the troubles.Also, I can learn many things from the roles in films, for example, I learned how to join forces to fight again devil from my favourite movie.Do you like to watch films in the cinema or at home?

I prefer watching films in the cinema, absolutely.You know, the atmosphere and the sound effect are prefect in the cinema, which you cannot feel at home, facing a small screen, especially for scientific and horror.So you can understand the story and the roles' emotion better, also you are able to learn more from the films.What kind of films do you like?

I love fancy film the most.They are full of magic, imagination and creativity.I believe only imagination can make our real life more colorful.My favorite movie is , which is typical of this kind of movies.I admire J.K.Rowling, the producer of it;I really wonder how those wonderful ideas came from her head!

Who is your favorite movie star?

My favorite movie star is Yang Ziqiong, who is very famous not only in China but also in Hollywood.She is one of the earliest actresses accepted by Hollywood and became popular in the world.She's good at martial arts.She's not very beautiful but her kongfu is really amazing, quick, clear-cut and powerful.I think she's the proud of China, not only for her position in Hollywood, but also because she spread Chinese traditional kongfu in the world.What's the difference between American films and Chinese films?

I think the biggest difference lies in the purpose of the film, result from the level of freedom.You know, most of Chinese films just describe an ordinary story and focus on teaching the audience some principles, because the government controls the contents of films stringently.But because of freedom, the purpose of most American films is to give audience an impressive shock, and then earn enormous profits.

第四篇：解析雅思口語地點類話題四大類

解析雅思口語地點類話題四大類

朗閣雅思考試研究中心

在雅思口語考試中，作為話題描述的Part 2部分，有很多考生都會產(chǎn)生恐懼心理的。這其中的原因不僅是因為這部分的考試內(nèi)容都是由考生一個人陳述完成，考官在大多時候是扮演一個聆聽者的角色，基本上不會和考生沒有太多對話交流，基本上就是老師聽，學生自己陳述的情況，很多考生在這部分就會遇到一些瓶頸，考生容易由于緊張而考試狀態(tài)欠佳，沒有辦法發(fā)揮他們應(yīng)該有的一些水平，從而導致整個口語考試的嚴重失分。所以在Part 2中，我們必須掌握好每一個部分細節(jié)，通過眾多老師專家和學生的實踐，分析得出地點類是這個部分必考的一個內(nèi)容，所以大家千萬一定要重視起來，多加練習，以保證我們在這部分的考試中正常發(fā)揮。雖然這個題在整體的考試中分數(shù)占比并不是很大，但是朗閣雅思考試研究中心的專家建議考生們在備考過程中必須要認真準備這一類話題。

在2012年上半年的考試中，全球各考點經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的地點類考題如下：

1、Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit

2、Describe an interesting shop

3、Describe a workplace

4、Describe a hotel/restaurant

5、Describe a historic site

6、Describe a nature beauty

7、Describe your ideal house

8、Describe a park/garden

9、Describe a special street

10、Describe a river/lake

11、Describe a place near the water

在日常的教學過程中，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)同學們在口語考試中之所以覺得無言以對主要有以下幾點原因：1.考生對該話題缺少熟悉度；2.考生對該話題的理解容易造成偏差；3.話題本身相

對抽象。而雅思口語考試的地點類考題中可能會涉及到一些考生們沒有去過的地方，或者是去過了但是沒有特別深刻的印象，而這些原因會導致考生們對地點類的某些話題產(chǎn)生害怕的心理，從而在考試過程中無話可說，或者越說越偏，找不到重點，讓考官聽不到所期待的內(nèi)容，于是分數(shù)也上不去。下面朗閣雅思考試研究中心的專家將為考生們支招，和考生們探討一下地點類話題的難點和其應(yīng)對方法。我們對所有的地點類考題進行分類，從地點的大小和地點的類別，2012年上半年?？嫉目碱}可以分成四類：

I.相對較大的地點

Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit Describe a place near the water Describe a river/lake 在這一類地點題中考到了foreign city/ country, 并且還出現(xiàn)了a place near the water, 所以朗閣雅思考試研究中心的專家建議各位考生可以準備一個靠近海的外國城市，這樣就能成功應(yīng)對兩個考察相對較大地點的考題了，像悉尼，墨爾本，洛杉磯，馬爾代夫……都是很好的選擇。該考題的原題如下：

Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit You should say:

Which city/country it is

How you know this city/country

Who you would like to go with and explain why you like to travel there 這道題目其實是一道常規(guī)考題，只是對城市的考察加了特定的限定詞，國外的城市，這道題目的難點在于很多考生可能沒有去過，所以心里沒有底，于是在考試中會覺得無話可說，各位考生可以多搜集一些資料，準備好相關(guān)背景知識，自然能夠輕松應(yīng)對。對城市的描寫可以從地理位置，特點以及你對該城市的感受著手，組織好語言，自然高分不難。并且考生們可以增加對海景的描述，從而當考到a place near the water時也可以順利的進行轉(zhuǎn)化。

而river/lake這一題目，各位考生可以選擇有特色的江、河或者是湖泊，比如說西湖，除了可以描述它秀美的風光，還可以把白蛇傳的故事插入進去，就更加引人入勝。

II.稍小一點的地點

Describe a park/garden Describe a special street 在稍小一點的地點中，park/garden是讓廣大考生頭疼的一道考題，原題如下： Describe a park or a garden You should say:

What the park is called

Where the park is located

What features the park has and explain why you love the park or the garden 這道題目的難點在于要描述一個公園，除了簡單帶出公園中的風景和娛樂設(shè)施，還要描述公園中的一些特色，建議考生在介紹普通的公園之外，還可以準備一些主題公園，比如說Disneyland, 首先各位考生可以從地理位置上進行簡單的介紹，可以選擇全球任意一處Disneyland進行描述，無論是否去過，背景資料的搜集工作一定要做足，比如說它的來歷：

Disney World and Disneyland Two theme parks built by the Walt Disney Co.(see Disney Co.), a U.S.corporation that became the best-known 20th-century purveyor of entertainment.Disneyland, an interactive, family-oriented fantasy environment that opened in Anaheim, Calif., in 1955, was Walt Disney's response to typical amusement parks, which entertained children but not their parents.The park, which has architecture that is a blend of futurism and nostalgic 19th-century reproductions, has different sections devoted to specific themes.Walt Disney World opened near Orlando, Fla., in 1971.Besides containing Epcot Center(an idealized city), Disney-MGM Studios, and the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom theme parks, Disney World was the first amusement park to incorporate hotels(including two designed by Michael Graves)and sports and other recreational facilities into its master plan.相關(guān)的資料各位考生可以自己進行搜集和整理。而special street這一題目，各位考生可以選擇用一條街來烘托出整個城市的特色，每個城市都有一些有特色的街道，來自各個城市的考生都應(yīng)該有自己獨特的材料來說。

III.建筑物類

Describe an interesting shop Describe a workplace Describe a hotel/restaurant Describe your ideal house 在建筑物的話題中，考生們往往只能根據(jù)題目作出簡單的回答，之后便無話可說。這一方面是因為許多考生與建筑相關(guān)的知識和詞匯積累非常有限，沒有可以表達的內(nèi)容；更重要的一方面則是許多學生受到表達能力的限制，無法迅速的進行paraphrasing, 因此回答起來張口結(jié)舌，極大地影響了個人的考試表現(xiàn)。hotel/restaurant這個經(jīng)典考題從08年至今一直活躍在雅思口語的考場中，原題如下： Describe a hotel/restaurant You should say:

Where the hotel/restaurant is

What the hotel/restaurant is famous for

What you can enjoy at the hotel/restaurant and explain why you often go to this hotel/restaurant 在對此類建筑話題進行描述時，往往要求考生描述以下方面：建筑所在地點(where), 參觀此建筑的時間(when)/多久去一次(how long), 參與的人(who), 以及為什么喜歡/不喜歡這個建筑(why)。這種類型的問題對大多數(shù)考生來說都比較簡單，只需把重點放在喜歡或者不喜歡的原因即可，學生很容易找到相關(guān)思路并且做出清晰流暢的回答。而對于特定的建筑物而言，朗閣雅思考試研究中心的專家提醒同學們要注意，需要重點描述的是為什么在這么多的圖書館、餐館、博物館、賓館、建筑物中，你不選擇其他作為描述對象，而偏偏選擇這個，也就是說這個地點或描述對象本身具有較多的特征或特別之處，才值得一提，所以，在選擇對象的時候，要注意一些其自身的特色，以及可以提一下在此建筑物中的經(jīng)歷。

IV.景點類

Describe a historic site Describe a nature beauty 在景點類考題中，考生們在備考中要準備一個人文景觀（historic site）和一個自然景觀（nature beauty），自然景觀可以參照城市類的考題進行準備，而A Historic Site這個考題

考生們可能不太熟悉，題目如下： Describe an interesting historic site You should say: where it was what you saw at this site(or, what it looked like)what role it played in history and explain what interested you about that place 這道題的難點在于對于歷史建筑的描述，在強調(diào)它的歷史作用時多少會涉及到歷史知識以及一些專有名詞的表達。而不管各位考生是選擇中國的還是國外的歷史建筑，鑒于平日里談?wù)摰脴O少，考試前沒有足夠的準備就很難開口。所以各位考生在考前可以結(jié)合其它描述地點或建筑的話題一起準備：Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等，例如北京故宮里的建筑，即是古老而傳統(tǒng)的建筑，又是很重要的博物館，也可以是自己最喜歡的建筑。不過故宮和頤和園之類的話題考官已經(jīng)聽過太多了，所以考生們可以參照類似的例文，跟考官描述一個當?shù)氐闹麣v史建筑，例如長沙的岳麓書院，杭州的雷鋒塔，南京的明孝陵之類的，提前做好充足的功課，搜集相關(guān)的背景知識，遇到其它問題也都可以迎刃而解。Sample: Well, you know, China is a country with a long history, and I have visited some of those historical places.Here I would like to talk about one of them-the “Summer Palace”.To be frank, it is too hard for me to describe this famous historical place in only one or two minutes.I will just give you a brief introduction of Summer Palace.It was built in 1764, located in west of Beijing, far from the city center.It was known as the biggest Royal Garden.There are a large quantity of trees and flowers.The long corridors, pavilions together with the lake make a marvelous landscape.It has been destroyed for several times.After 1949, our government rebuilt it and protected it well.Now it is a famous historical place in the world heritage list.I think it is worthy to take visit there.而nature beauty這一考題，各位考生可以和上面提及到的a foreign country/city以及river/lake進行轉(zhuǎn)換，是非常容易答題的。

口語Part 2話題中地點類話題其實是較為固定的，從08年至今出現(xiàn)過的地點類相關(guān)話題大致是一樣的，所以同學們根據(jù)機經(jīng)題庫中現(xiàn)有的話題以及所在考點三個月內(nèi)出現(xiàn)的相關(guān)考題進行準備和復習，在考試中必定能輕松應(yīng)對地點類話題。

第五篇：雅思口語必備話題之媒體類

媒體類（Media）是雅思口語話題的常見考題之一，書籍、電影、電視節(jié)目等都是三部分可能會考到的內(nèi)容，所以建議烤鴨們在考前要對于這部分內(nèi)容有一個大致的了解。基本詞匯：

3)A website you like

4)A magazine or newspaper you like

范例：

網(wǎng)站(a website)

Well, the first website comes into my mind is Moonbasa.It is one of the most famous shopping websites among young ladies in China.It’s not the first shopping website I’ve ever visited, but it is the one I most frequently visit now.Last Christmas I received an e-mail from my best friend.She suggested that I visit Moonbasa where there would be a big promotion during the holiday.Since then, Moonbasa becomes my favourite shopping paradise.As a matter of fact, it is a good way to relax after work by browsing all kinds of goods on the website.It’s really useful for me, because it not only includes clothes suitable for office ladies like me, but also some shoes and undergarment in good quality.However, their prices are much lower than those in big shopping malls.Honestly, I am unwilling to spend a weekend doing shopping in crowded shops.I would rather stay home to click my mouse to choose what I want on Moonbasa.Most importantly, I can return the goods I buy on Moonbasa in 30 days without any reasons.分析：

A website其實是今天烤鴨們雅思口語考試題目回憶之一。而這篇范例就是寫“夢芭莎”，一個著名的購物網(wǎng)站。內(nèi)容包括：瀏覽該網(wǎng)站的頻率，開始訪問該網(wǎng)站的原因，網(wǎng)站上有哪些內(nèi)容，可以得到哪方面的信息，以及自己為什么喜歡或者使用這個網(wǎng)站。考生們在敘說的時候，注意邏輯順序和連接詞的使用。
