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,有很多考生都會產生恐懼心理的。這其中的原因不僅是因為這部分的考試內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欠佳,沒有辦法發揮他們應該有的一些水平,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,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揮。雖然這個題在整體的考試中分數占比并不是很大,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,全球各考點經常出現的地點類考題如下:
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,我們會發現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容,于是分數也上不去。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,準備好相關背景知識,自然能夠輕松應對。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的知識和詞匯積累非常有限,沒有可以表達的內容;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舌,極大地影響了個人的考試表現。hotel/restaurant這個經典考題從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,鑒于平日里談論得極少,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,跟考官描述一個當地的著名歷史建筑,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年至今出現過的地點類相關話題大致是一樣的,所以同學們根據機經題庫中現有的話題以及所在考點三個月內出現的相關考題進行準備和復習,在考試中必定能輕松應對地點類話題。

第三篇:雅思口語話題:電影類
環球雅思口語老師給大家帶來關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:雅思口語part1姓名類話題
雅思口語part1姓名類話題
雅思口語part1姓名類話題是雅思口語中必考的話題之一。所以考生們需要對其深入了解。即使在雅思口語備考的過程中,考生基本上都會接觸這類話題,但總是會因為其比較簡單而忽視,從而導致口語考試開場便失利。因此今天小編為大家帶來比較全面的話題內容分析,希望大家能夠關注。
首先,來看看姓名類話題一般都涉及哪些問題?
Names
> Do you like your name?
> Who give you your name?
> What names are most common in your hometown?
> Do you have any special traditions about naming children?
??
對于這類問題看起來其實都是比較簡單的,最重要的是思路如何展開:
首先,當問到你的名字或誰為你取得名字時,可以先介紹自己的名字;然后介紹你名字的特點以及所賦予的意義(起名字的人對你的期望和美好的憧憬);第三步可以介紹名字對你個人的特別意義和重要性(因為一般會問到是否會改名字或者是否想過改名字等問題),但是一定要贅述啰嗦盡量直奔主題,可以說說你為什么喜歡你的名字,有什么特別的價值和情感色彩,以及對你的影響等等,理由可以很具體。如果還有時間,最后可以介紹一下在你的家鄉起名字的風俗和傳統特點,有時候考官也會問到。
而在此類話題中大家要明白一些常用的問題表達,看起來是不同的問題其實目的都是相同的,自然考官想要的答案也是一樣的:
1.What is your full name?
What’s your name?
How should I address you?
How should I call you?
2.Who gave you your name?
Who gave this name to you ?
Does your name have any particular meaning?
3.Do you like your name?
Would you like to change your name?
Have you ever changed any name before?
Do you want to change your name before?
4.In your country, do people feel that their name is very important?
Who usually names babies in your country?
Do you have any special traditions about naming children in your hometown?
下面根據具體的問題及答案來系統的看一下整個話題:
1.What is your full name? How should I address you?
My full name is XXX.And my English name is Jennie.You can call me Jennie.提示:回答姓名雖然是很簡單的問題,但是考生要通過簡單的擴展展現出自己與小學生英文水平的不同。很多人把全名full(短音)name念成傻瓜名字fool(長音)name而貽笑大方。在這里考生沒有必要大做文章,只要講清楚姓名就可以。同時因為大多數考官不太會念中文名字,所以最好給出英文名字。
2.Does your name have any special meaning or significance?
Yes, it does have a special meaning.Literally it means to travel as far as beyond the stars.Strategy:在這里可以運用一點點小的技巧。為了從眾多考生中脫穎而出,我們可以在準備充分的基礎上加上一點點新意。充分發揮想象力,比如說:我們就可以講這個姓名是算命先生給的,并且有了這個名字就可以嫁個老公:What's more, this name was given by a fortune-teller and he said with this name I would marry a great guy.提示:其實不知道自己姓名的意思也沒關系。只要坦誠的告訴考官就可以。但是不可以簡單的說“I don't know”,而應該做合理的猜測以展現自己出自己流利的英文表達。但是在猜測的時候,考生可以充分的發揮想象力,沒有必要長篇大論。如:I don't really know.It is given by my grandfather.I guess it means to travel as far as beyond the starts, because he also wanted me to become a great and successful person.3.Have you ever changed your name? Why or why not?
No, I haven't.I'm very happy about my Chinese name.And I guess I am never going to change it.Well, yes.The previous name I had just sounds so silly.It is even close to the Chinese word for “baboon”.So in order to avoid continuing embarrassing myself, I changed it.And now I'm happy about my current name.Notes:這道題通常是為下面的題目作鋪墊。有兩種答題的方向,考生可以自己做出選擇。
Do Chinese people like changing their names? Why or why not?
In my personal opinion, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names, because to most people names are just symbols, though some people do believe names can affect the course of their life.In that case, if they are not content with who they are or what they have, they may change their names.What kind of people like changing their names?
Well, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names.But if they do, they must believe names are important to them, more than just symbols, or somehow carries a significant meaning to them.Among them, of course, some people are just superstitious.名字對大多數中國人來說確實只是一個符號。但是如果名字對一個人有特別的含義則有可能促使人改名字。
4.What's their purpose in changing their names?
It is hard to say.But as far as I know there are two major purposes.Number one, people change their names to make their names sound better.Number two, they change their names in order to change their destiny, because they believe names can affect the course of their life, no matter it is superstitious belief or just a willful thought.Well, this is a big question.As far as I know, I don't think Chinese people like to change their names often.Because most people believe names are just symbols.They don't change anything.And destiny is in their own hands to make.Notes:該題目與前一道題目形成對比,前一道題目是個人的行為,本題目涉及的是群體的行為。姓名的改變通常由于以下一些原因:
1、聲音不好聽或拗口
2、與其他詞(通常不是好詞)諧音
3、迷信,認為改變姓名可以改變運道等。
5.In your culture, do women change their names when they get married?
I know it is quite common for women to take on their spouse's family name in other cultures.But in my culture, that is not the case—women often keep their maiden name even after getting married.But the children will follow the father's surname.Notes:女子出嫁后而不隨夫姓,這是中國很普遍的現象。而國外卻大多與此相反??忌梢圆扇≈型鈱Ρ鹊姆绞交卮饐栴}。
從這些問題我們可以總結如下:在回答第一部分的問題時,考生不要只給考官一個“YES”或“NO”的答案,或是采用“點頭搖頭術”的交流方式??忌挥性谶B續用英語回答的前提下才能使雅思考官對其英語的駕馭能力進行評估、打分。所以在雅思口語考試的環節中,“Something is better than nothing!”是永恒的王道。
