雅思口語第二部分:需要注意的問題以及考試經(jīng)驗(yàn)
雅思考試總共四個(gè)板塊,其中口語為最后一個(gè)板塊,同時(shí)又分為了三個(gè)考核部分,其中雅思口語第二部分在整體口語的考試當(dāng)中重視程度最高也認(rèn)為是難度最大。其他兩個(gè)部分都有考官對(duì)話作為引導(dǎo),只需要順著對(duì)應(yīng)的話題進(jìn)行溝通,考驗(yàn)的是語言的流暢度和發(fā)音等問題,等同于模擬日常的場(chǎng)景對(duì)話。下面小編給大家?guī)淼氖茄潘伎谡Z第二部分:需要注意的問題以及考試經(jīng)驗(yàn).
雅思口語第二部分:需要注意的問題以及考試經(jīng)驗(yàn)
第二部分的考核內(nèi)容
雅思口語第二部分不同在于考核的是考生自我表述部分,根據(jù)所給出的考題來進(jìn)行闡述,考驗(yàn)的是考生的詞匯量、短期內(nèi)的語言邏輯能力,表達(dá)能力等,因?yàn)槊课豢忌榈降脑掝}會(huì)不同,因此需要考生結(jié)合日常的經(jīng)歷來完整的表述。同時(shí)新航道好輕松考研提醒考生要注意第二部分表述時(shí)間的控制,一般在1分30秒左右闡述完最好,因?yàn)楹竺娴臅r(shí)間考官會(huì)根據(jù)考生的表述提出問題與考生進(jìn)行交談。
考生表述時(shí)間的控制
即便是考生在雅思口語第二部分持續(xù)的表述,但不超過2分鐘,考官就會(huì)打斷考生的表述并且提出問題。因此盡量自身控制好時(shí)間以確保自己的觀點(diǎn)能夠完整地表述出來,避免被打斷后導(dǎo)致內(nèi)容闡述的不完整。另外小編也有針對(duì)于過往的考試總結(jié)出一些常見的考試話題,可以提前的了解邏輯好對(duì)應(yīng)的表述語言,這樣能夠?qū)ΜF(xiàn)場(chǎng)的表述更有把握。相關(guān)的考試話題在某些句式上也會(huì)有相同的地方,因此提前的做好語言的組織,必然能夠有所收獲。
雅思口語話題:shopping
1. Why does shopping make people happy?
2. How do shops nowadays compare to shops in the past?
3. What are the features of a successful shopping center?
4. Do you think that men and women have different attitudes toward shopping?
1. Why does shopping make people happy?
誤區(qū):
這個(gè)問題其實(shí)比較簡單,但仍然有一些同學(xué)可能會(huì)反而把這個(gè)問題想得很復(fù)雜,我們其實(shí)并不需要從一個(gè)非常專業(yè)的心理學(xué)角度psychological angle來準(zhǔn)確回答,只需要做到“言之有理,言之有物,緊扣主題,自圓其說”就可以了。
思路:
一說起購物,我們可能就會(huì)聯(lián)想到幾個(gè)女士領(lǐng)著五顏六色的包包在很大的商場(chǎng)里面買東西。沒錯(cuò),就抓住你的這個(gè)第一印象我們就可以展開。
買東西,尤其是女性購買衣服,都是為了自己的形象image能夠拿得出手look good,這樣才會(huì)提升自己的魅力charm或者charisma,還有自信心confidence等等。其實(shí)不光是女士,男士在買車買房上也是比較務(wù)實(shí)的practical或者唯物的materialistic,因?yàn)樯鐣?huì)上大家都在這么做,你如果不這么購置物品和別人保持基本的一致的話,在某種意義上來說,你還不夠成功。
但是通過購買,你就可以獲得成就感a sense of achievement等。我們還可以列舉更多這樣的例子,主語可以換成學(xué)生students,老年人the elderly,或者再確切點(diǎn)家庭主婦housewives,商業(yè)大亨business tycoon,都可以通過他們購買的特定東西來說明讓他們快樂的原因。
Well, you know it's always a pleasant feeling to wear brand new clothes that look good. It can make your image better and improve your charisma, and people are more self-confident when they are pleased with their appearance. I think it’s understandable that ladies always try to buy new clothes. Furthermore, people are all becoming more and more materialistic: we all care about occupying good stuff like cars or big houses and even the latest version of iPhone, especially when other people have. If we can afford something fancy with our own salary, we will experience a sense of achievement.
語料補(bǔ)充:
幾種在句中常見的表示遞進(jìn)的關(guān)聯(lián)詞,來替換and的單一性:furthermore, moreover, still, in addition, additionally, more specifically, besides, in other words, on the other hand, meanwhile, at the same time…
2. How do shops nowadays compare to shops in the past?
誤區(qū):
很多同學(xué)還是比較擅長描述現(xiàn)在的購物都是怎么樣的。被我們聊得最多的也就是網(wǎng)上購物在逐漸代替實(shí)體店購物這件事。但是我們同時(shí)應(yīng)該注意到,題目中出現(xiàn)了compare這個(gè)單詞,就是要求我們說明兩件事情,并作出一個(gè)比較明顯的比較。而就不是單單說一方面了。并且是shop的為主語,其實(shí)更多的是想問實(shí)體店physical shops的今昔對(duì)比。
思路:
我們可以用一個(gè)最簡單的方法來回答這個(gè)問題。就是先說過去是什么樣子的,然后說現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)變了,變成了什么樣子。但是我們并不是特別了解很多年前購物是什么樣子的。其實(shí)我們并不需要說的有多精確,只需要描述一下基本場(chǎng)景就可以了。比如,我們要去不同的商店買東西,一次跑好幾個(gè)地方,舉幾個(gè)例子,說清楚就可以了。關(guān)鍵還是我們熟悉的現(xiàn)在怎么說方便了。當(dāng)然你可以用網(wǎng)購來描述,但是更直觀的對(duì)比是超市和購物廣場(chǎng)這一個(gè)概念,我們可以在一個(gè)地方買到許許多多不同種類的東西,變得非??旖?。物品的數(shù)量也在增多,人們的選擇也就更多了。
I suppose that a few decades ago, people had to go to different places to buy daily items they needed: hammer in a hardware store, pork at the butcher’s or clothes in a tailor’s shop. But I believe that the shop owners were also more welcoming and considerate. Nowadays, a superstore like Walmart or Carrefour provides every single necessity and these are extremely convenient for people’s living. And for sure, shopping malls are available wherever you go. I bet now there are a lot more shops than in the past. As a consequence, customers have way more options than they did 30 years ago.
語料分析:
hammer錘子 hardware五金器具,硬件 butcher屠夫 tailor裁縫
considerate體貼的
Walmart 沃爾瑪 Carrefour家樂福
necessity必需品
3. What are the features of a successful shopping center?
誤區(qū):
我們遇到這樣一個(gè)問題的時(shí)候會(huì)不會(huì)選擇拿一個(gè)著名的shopping mall來舉例子呢?如果你舉得這個(gè)例子是你自己本身比較熟悉的,是專門研究過,積累過一定素材的就還好,但如果不是可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)越說到后面就越無話可說的情況。
思路:
其實(shí)我們并不需要說的多么的精準(zhǔn),我們只需要研究一下,究竟是什么因素使得一個(gè)商場(chǎng)成功。學(xué)過高中人文地理的同學(xué)們估計(jì)會(huì)第一時(shí)間想到區(qū)位因素,就是選址location,常用的單詞就是locate和situate這兩個(gè),并且經(jīng)常以被動(dòng)的方式出現(xiàn)。另外,外觀exterior和內(nèi)部interior必須也得過得去吧,外面得時(shí)尚一些,里面要寬敞明亮一下,環(huán)境好了心情自然也就好了,誰也不希望特別擁擠的購買東西,顯得沒有檔次。另外,也是最重要的,還是商品本身是優(yōu)質(zhì)的。當(dāng)然,如果想加入新的元素也沒有問題,比如售后好,價(jià)格低,種類全等等。
First of all, location is the crucial factor that affects it popularity. It should be conveniently situated for its clients. In addition, I bet a fabulous shopping mall should be quite modern and trendy for its exterior. But the interior should be spacious and tidy with large clean windows. This will create a comfortable environment and atmosphere. Most importantly, they should offer customers good quality products as well as service. If they do so, they will definitely attract and retain the shoppers.
語料分析:
popularity流行,普遍
conveniently 方便地
client customer shopper顧客
exterior/interior 外部、內(nèi)部
retain保持
4. Do you think that men and women have different attitudes toward shopping?
誤區(qū):
這個(gè)問題與很多相類似于有compare, and, or一樣的詞有相同的思路就是不能只說單方面。就這個(gè)題來說,太明顯就是我們應(yīng)該分別說一下,或者每一個(gè)點(diǎn)都做一下男女的對(duì)比。而不能只說一個(gè)方面。另外要告訴同學(xué)們,當(dāng)你遇到一個(gè)不是特別會(huì)聊的話題的時(shí)候,對(duì)比是非常有用的利器,讓你的素材一下子增倍。
思路:
男女在日常中的很多不同最終都或多或少反映在你買什么東西上。所以同學(xué)們可以先回答這個(gè)yes-no question,然后對(duì)比一下,男士買東西比較理智,上街買東西是非常有目的性的,如果要是買不到還一直繼續(xù)逛下去的話就會(huì)比較崩潰。但是女同志就不一樣了,上街有可能是只看不買,只逛街還要有同伴可以閑聊,是放松的一種手段,也可能是看看最新的物件,還有就是傷心難過了買一堆東西解氣。
Yes, there’s no doubt! Most men are more likely to spend cash in their hand sensibly. They only buy something which they really need with precise aims. If men shop for hours without any specific goals, they will definitely go mad and get tired of it. Whereas most women regard shopping for fashionable things as a routine. They shop with a few friends in order to chat and relax. Also, women are always curious to see what’s new or in even they’re not inclined to really buy them. So there are distinct attitudes and behaviors between two genders toward shopping.
語料分析:
回答一般疑問句時(shí),如果是肯定的,我們可以用definitely,absolutely,that’s for sure, there’s no doubt, I really think so;如果是否定的,我們可以用no way, not at all, I don’t really think so, I really don’t think so等來回答。
雅思口語話題:History
Do you like to learn about history?
Do you think history is important?
What historical event do you find most interesting?
Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
說到歷史,我們并不陌生,因?yàn)閹缀趺總€(gè)人從小就學(xué)習(xí)歷史。According to Wikipedia, History is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. 也就是說,歷史是對(duì)過去的研究,尤其是和人相關(guān)的研究。
歷史在人類社會(huì)的發(fā)展過程中,起到至關(guān)重要的作用。它告訴我們我們是誰,我們來自哪;它讓我們穿越時(shí)間和空間去思考過去發(fā)生了什么,我們從中能學(xué)到什么;它使我們更好的了解這個(gè)世界。The history plays a vital role in the development of society. It gives us an insight into who we are and where we come from; it helps us stretch our perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and what we can learn from the past; it provides us with a chance to understand the world.
1. Do you like to learn about history?
這是一道喜歡或者不喜歡類的題目,首先我們來學(xué)習(xí)一下表達(dá)‘喜歡’的語言,題目中的like可以替換成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜歡除了用dislike以外,還可以替換成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.
關(guān)于這道題,通常情況下,我們會(huì)回答喜歡,或者不喜歡。注意,答案盡量以Yes, I do.的形式出現(xiàn),而不是單獨(dú)的yes。同時(shí)也可以替換成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表達(dá)。同樣,否定的答案,可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是,No, it’s not my kind of thing來代替。
若該題目的答案是喜歡,那么我們需要在表明傾向后加以解釋,通常是給出原因或例子。除了以上所講到的歷史的作用外,喜歡了解歷史的原因還可以是:The historical events are very interesting(歷史事件非常有趣);It can make us wise(使人明智)等。
若回答不喜歡,則也須講明原因,或者講明不喜歡的地方在哪。這里推薦給考生一個(gè)加分的表達(dá):to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是說對(duì)某物或是某件事情既愛又恨。回想我們不喜歡歷史的原因,可能更多的是因?yàn)槲覀儾幌矚g以背誦為主的歷史考試,而非我們對(duì)歷史事件真的不感興趣。(I’m more interested in historical stories rather than in details of names, dates and places.)
范例1: Yes, very much so. I’d say history is my real love. You know, it’s easy for me to get lost while reading historical books or watching some documentaries. I find history very interesting, mainly because it helps me stretch my perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and how our ancestors experienced things.
范例2: Well, to be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with history, generally because I’m much into the stories and the insights it gives me into the past, but I’m really struggling in the history exams which are usually centered around dates, names and places.
2. Do you think history is important?
關(guān)于這道題目,相信我們大多數(shù)考生都會(huì)給出肯定的回答:歷史是重要的。其原因可以是以下幾點(diǎn):
It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. (它使得人們了解文化,政治,經(jīng)濟(jì),社會(huì)以及價(jià)值是如何發(fā)展的)
History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. (歷史不僅是關(guān)于過去,還關(guān)于過去如何導(dǎo)致了現(xiàn)在)
It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. (他告訴我們過去發(fā)生了什么,以幫助我們避免重復(fù)錯(cuò)誤)
范例:Yes, I think so. History not only deals with the past, but also with how the past led to the present. So it allows people to understand how culture, politics, society and values developed. More importantly, since it tells us what happened in the past, we could avoid repeating mistakes.
3. Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?
了解歷史的方式有很多,比如看電影,讀書,看紀(jì)錄片,參觀歷史景點(diǎn),上歷史課等。(There are many ways to learn about history, such as watching films, reading books, watching documentaries, visiting historical sites, and attending history classes. )。至于哪一種才是了解歷史最好的方式(the best way to learn history),每個(gè)人心中的答案各不相同。
這道題目是問,我們是否可以通過看電影或者電視節(jié)目這種方式來了解歷史。目前,我們的電影類型有很多,比如comedy(喜劇),action movies(動(dòng)作片),science fiction films(科幻片),martial arts films(功夫片),romance films(愛情片),war movies(戰(zhàn)爭片)等等,至于電視節(jié)目,種類更是繁多,常見的有reality shows(真人秀),talent search(選人才節(jié)目),talk shows(談話類節(jié)目),variety shows(文藝晚會(huì)),sitcoms(情景喜劇)等等。這些影片或者電視節(jié)目多多少少的涉及了一些歷史,然而它們的主要目的還是以娛樂和教育為主(entertaining and educational),以講述歷史為目的還要屬documentaries(紀(jì)錄片)。
回到題目,這是一道是非疑問類的題目,我們的答案可以是肯定的,否定的或者不一定的。然而通過上面的分析,這道題目回答No或It depends可能更容易一些。原因可能是有些電影或是電視節(jié)目會(huì)根據(jù)劇情需要對(duì)歷史進(jìn)行改編(Some historical events might be rewritten by editors to satisfy the plot),每部電影或者電視節(jié)目會(huì)站在各自不同的角度看待歷史,我們?nèi)菀资茈娪盎蚬?jié)目中人物和劇情的影響(They may show the history from different perspectives, so that we are easy to be influenced by the characters and plots.),因此我們并不總是能夠從電影和電視節(jié)目中了解到歷史,然而記錄片除外,因?yàn)槠渖婕暗膬?nèi)容主要是歷史或科學(xué)(Documentaries mainly deal with history or science)。因此,從紀(jì)錄片中,我們比較容易了解真正的歷史。
范例:It depends. It depends on what the movie or program is. I mean, we usually watch some movies and TV programs in which some historical events are rewritten to satisfy the plots. In this case, I don’t think we can learn the real history. However, we may learn some from documentaries, which are particularly deal with historical issues or science.
4. Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
同樣,這也是一道是非疑問類的題目,無論我們的答案是肯定的還是否定的,都需要有充分的支持。例如,這道題目你可以回答‘是’(Yes, I think so; Yes I guess so; Yes sort of),然后在給出理由,可以是網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源充分,且免費(fèi),查閱方便等等(give a convenient access to information on almost everything)。所以你經(jīng)常到什么樣的網(wǎng)站上去瀏覽什么樣的歷史知識(shí)。
除此之外,你還可以給出否定的答案(No, I don’t think so; No, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.),然后給出原因,可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)信息并不總是可靠或者客觀(not always reliable or objective),也可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)當(dāng)中充斥著大量的誤導(dǎo)或虛假或歪曲的信息(be awash with some misleading or false or distorted information),還有可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)上信息量過于龐大導(dǎo)致很難找到真正有用可靠的信息(With so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need)。因此我們應(yīng)當(dāng)慎重使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息(be careful in using the information on the internet)
范例1:Yes, I guess so. It’s mainly because the Internet gives us a convenient access to information on almost everything we need. So I usually go to some news and education websites to read some information about history or other things.
范例2: Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case, mainly because the stuff on the Internet is not always reliable or objective. You know, everyone can publish their own ideas on the websites so the Internet might be awash with a huge amount of misleading, false or distorted things. In addition, with so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need. So yeah, that’s basically why I suppose not.
