雅思口語(yǔ)part2解答思路之的4種描述方法
雅思口語(yǔ)共分為3個(gè)部分,其中part2和part3是比較難的部分。因?yàn)閜art3會(huì)在part2的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行延展性的提問(wèn),因此,part2的回答其實(shí)是很重要的。那么,對(duì)于有難度的part2,我們應(yīng)該采用什么思路呢,一起來(lái)看看下文。
雅思口語(yǔ)解答思路之part2的4種描述方法
在教學(xué)的過(guò)程中,當(dāng)問(wèn)到學(xué)生雅思口語(yǔ)三個(gè)部分的考試哪個(gè)部分最難以對(duì)付時(shí),大多數(shù)情況下學(xué)生會(huì)認(rèn)為Part 2是最令人頭痛的部分?,F(xiàn)在Part 2 的話題越來(lái)越細(xì)化、刁鉆,雖然有1分鐘的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間,但在緊張的考試環(huán)境下,大部分學(xué)生都稱(chēng)“腦子是空白的”,以導(dǎo)致不充分的準(zhǔn)備讓1-2分鐘的描述變得非常的慘白,無(wú)奈收尾,給考官的感覺(jué)始終印象不深刻,無(wú)法達(dá)到通過(guò)細(xì)致的描述想親自嘗試的意愿。
通過(guò)分析學(xué)生Part 2的回答范例,發(fā)現(xiàn)不少同學(xué)要么僅將話題卡中給的問(wèn)題提示作以簡(jiǎn)單回答,要么使用較為明顯的模板回答方式---也就是我們常說(shuō)的無(wú)關(guān)緊要的話,來(lái)填塞內(nèi)容上的空白。如 ”If I really have to choose a place to describe, I’d like to tell you that …. is such the place?!?這也是中國(guó)學(xué)生雅思口語(yǔ)在40個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)墊底的原因之一。在這篇文章中,本文將總結(jié)出四種Part 2描述題的拓展策略。
策略一:WH細(xì)節(jié)描述法
當(dāng)考生在面對(duì)話題無(wú)從下手時(shí),可以利用 ”WH Questions”來(lái)引導(dǎo)思路的拓展,包括 “what, when, where, who(whom), why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。
例如,Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先須明確what(the Bookworm),when(some five years ago), where (down the south of Chengdu),who(foreigners for most of time);其次是整個(gè)描述的重點(diǎn)why(comfortable, pleasant, intimate ),how exactly (detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, and intimate),how often(once a month…),how much(30-40 yuan on average per person),how many(3 in Whole China)。
但是,在此提醒考生,在回答中,不可機(jī)械地按照每一個(gè)WH來(lái)作答,否則描述同樣會(huì)非常死板乏味,即需要靈活自然過(guò)渡每一個(gè)WH。
Sample answer:The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancy cafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5 years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partner and co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm. During these years, it’s been popular and welcomed by almost every foreigner in Chengdu. I guess it’s probably because the cafe is really the place that can make them feel at home, ranging from the food, coffee, inside decoration, and those books written and published from their country。
The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customers home style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or at work, having a rest at Bookworm will be the very pleasant thing to chill out. The greatest part is the live music every Friday night at which you can enjoy the best jazz and blues. There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has the first, and Chengdu and Suzhou follow the step, therefore if you‘re taking a trip to Beijing or Suzhou, you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nice little cafe. I like the cafe, for it’s the place where I can relax, eat, drink, read and enjoy music。
策略二:舉例支撐法
在Part 2話題描述中,如果僅有描述,仍會(huì)讓整個(gè)陳述略顯有些平淡,建議考生在描述的同時(shí)加上相應(yīng)的例子,這樣可以大大增加描述內(nèi)容的豐富性和生動(dòng)性。但是, 在Part 2里例子,并不一定要非常正式的舉例,如“For example”;口語(yǔ)化的一些表達(dá)方式會(huì)更自然一些,如“such as,like”。比如,”Describe a special shop”,除了描述這個(gè)shop里有一些special goods外,若再具體舉例說(shuō)明有哪些特殊商品可以更能增強(qiáng)生動(dòng)性。In the shop, you can always find some special and interesting stuff, such as hand-made floating lantern, photo books, tiny china pot, and Nepali jewelries and things like that。
策略三:數(shù)據(jù)支撐法
Part 2話題屬于細(xì)節(jié)描述題,在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候如果能夠使用數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)進(jìn)一步支撐描述,可以增強(qiáng)話題描述的真實(shí)性和說(shuō)服力。但是,建議考生在使用數(shù)據(jù)的時(shí)候不要太過(guò)夸張數(shù)字,而且頻率不應(yīng)過(guò)多,使用一次數(shù)據(jù)就可以了。另外,與雅思寫(xiě)作有別的是,在寫(xiě)作中引用數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)最好有個(gè)出處或來(lái)源,但在回答口語(yǔ)Part 2問(wèn)題時(shí),這個(gè)出處可以省略,否則會(huì)導(dǎo)致回答內(nèi)容是背誦的嫌疑,降低真實(shí)性,這就與我們的初衷背道相馳了。
比如“Describe a concert hall”,我們可以通過(guò)數(shù)據(jù)的支撐來(lái)這樣描述“The Civil Concert Hall holds about 50 to 60 shows on an average each year, receiving almost 30,000 audiences, and part of them come to this hall simply because of its comfortable seats and great sound and lighting effects. ”有了數(shù)據(jù)的支撐,可以使我們對(duì)音樂(lè)廳的規(guī)模和條件有個(gè)更直觀的了解,而不是簡(jiǎn)單地描述“the concert hall is very popular and well-equipped?!?/p>
策略四:比較對(duì)照法
1-2分鐘的描述中,除了單方面地進(jìn)行描述外,可以通過(guò)描述同類(lèi)事物進(jìn)行比較的方式來(lái)使內(nèi)容更加全面細(xì)致。但是,這個(gè)部分畢竟是口語(yǔ)考試,所以選用的比較類(lèi)的詞語(yǔ)應(yīng)為口語(yǔ)化的連接詞,“unlike,similar,like,be different from”等。
例如“Describe a magazine”,我們這樣來(lái)描述:The magazine I’ve been reading recently is O2 (Oxygen Magazine), which mainly covers good books, movies, music, and life design as well as eco protection are the key topics throughout the whole magazine. Unlike the normal magazines, you cannot find any company’s advertisement on it. Another thing makes it different from the ordinary ones is that it uses recycled paper, and that’s what it’s aimed since it was born. 通過(guò)對(duì)比的方式,可以令考官加深對(duì)描述的印象,也豐富了枯燥話題的陳述內(nèi)容。
雅思口語(yǔ)考試形式是什么樣的
雅思口語(yǔ)考試形式依次分三部分。第一部分:一般問(wèn)答;第二部分:主題卡片陳述;第三部分:深入討論。每部分考試時(shí)間為4-5分鐘,三個(gè)部分總共10-15分鐘。
第一部分:一般問(wèn)答
當(dāng)考生進(jìn)入考場(chǎng)(有兩種:小教室和小辦公室),再簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)候之后這一部分便開(kāi)始了。通常,這一部分會(huì)涉及包含人名在內(nèi)的四個(gè)話題,例如:人名,家鄉(xiāng),教育或職業(yè)背景,空閑生活。時(shí)間也通常在4-5分鐘之內(nèi)。問(wèn)題量也通常在9-15題左右。這就意味著,每道題的最理想回答時(shí)長(zhǎng)應(yīng)該在20-30秒之間,通常也就是2-4句話。
其間,考官的主要目的不是在測(cè)量學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)水平有多高,而更主要的的是幫助考生放松并開(kāi)始試著講英文。也就是說(shuō),這一部分表現(xiàn)得好壞不會(huì)對(duì)總體成績(jī)有太大的影響。即使這一部分講得很糟糕,仍然有的高分的機(jī)會(huì)。然而這也不是說(shuō),這一部分就無(wú)足輕重。考生必須清楚,在這一部分,考官已經(jīng)在考慮該考生是什么樣的英文水平以及適合得幾分了。
第二部分:主題卡片陳述
在這一部分,考官會(huì)遞給考生一張主題卡片,卡片上附有問(wèn)題和相關(guān)觀點(diǎn)。拿到卡片后,考生有一分鐘時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備,同時(shí)可以在提供的草紙上作筆記(不可以拿出考場(chǎng))。
然后,考生應(yīng)該就所給的話題作出1-2分鐘的陳述?;卮鸩豢梢蕴L(zhǎng),也不可以太短。太短則欠缺內(nèi)容,是考官認(rèn)為該學(xué)生不具備英文分析描述的能力。太長(zhǎng)則容易被考官打斷,使其認(rèn)為該考生不能抓住重點(diǎn)或者有背誦之嫌。
注意,在考生陳述結(jié)束之后,考官可能會(huì)在附加提出1-2問(wèn)題(也可能沒(méi)有),但是不會(huì)對(duì)第二部分成績(jī)有太大影響。此時(shí),考生沒(méi)必要過(guò)多重復(fù)已經(jīng)講過(guò)的內(nèi)容。回答要簡(jiǎn)潔,切題,明了。
第三部分:深入討論
該部分是考官會(huì)就第二部分所討論的主題再提出一些較抽象,總結(jié),概括性的問(wèn)題,以綜合考察考生的分析,對(duì)比,解釋和闡述的能力。此部分總體時(shí)間為4-5分鐘。
在這一部分,問(wèn)題數(shù)量取決于回答的長(zhǎng)短。然而,由于此部分考生要處理一些較抽象或概括的問(wèn)題,并且要綜合運(yùn)用多種英文能力,每個(gè)問(wèn)題的理想長(zhǎng)度應(yīng)為1分鐘左右。同時(shí)注意,不要走得太深,扯得太遠(yuǎn),一定要切題,否則只能是考官難以把握你所講述的重點(diǎn)。
在雅思備考中 雅思口語(yǔ)考試要怎么準(zhǔn)備
為什么雅思口語(yǔ)會(huì)成為中國(guó)學(xué)生的最大“軟肋”?原因主要有二:一是學(xué)校日常英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中忽視口語(yǔ)練習(xí);二是雅思口語(yǔ)備考,很難找到適合的復(fù)習(xí)切入點(diǎn),導(dǎo)致考生走了很多彎路。那么雅思口語(yǔ)該怎么復(fù)習(xí)呢?
第一、跟讀
模仿是打好口語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)的最初的過(guò)程,而口語(yǔ)模仿的最基本方法就是跟讀,跟讀可以養(yǎng)成地道的發(fā)音以及良好的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)感。
跟讀的目的是糾正自己的語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)以及提高組織句法能力。發(fā)音是評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的大頭,至于句法的模仿,是建立在良好詞匯的基礎(chǔ)上的,要慢慢適應(yīng)西方的思維表達(dá)方式,這是一個(gè)潛移默化的過(guò)程。至于整體的語(yǔ)調(diào),就是語(yǔ)感的體現(xiàn),并沒(méi)有固定的套路,隨著跟讀的量增加,語(yǔ)感自然是越來(lái)越好的。
第二、復(fù)述
跟讀到了一定量,就不用再繼續(xù)了,應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)而挑戰(zhàn)練習(xí)復(fù)述??梢砸员痴b雅思各類(lèi)范文為起點(diǎn),不但積累了單詞和句法,還能培養(yǎng)語(yǔ)感,甚至可以用到雅思口語(yǔ)的PART2中去。不過(guò),背誦的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是由短到長(zhǎng),由淺到深的一個(gè)過(guò)程。背前要跟著音頻熟讀掌握語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào),這樣才能最大限度的挖掘背誦的潛力。
但背誦畢竟只是初級(jí)階段,真正的復(fù)述是要能夠靈活運(yùn)用詞匯進(jìn)行替換,用各種不同的詞匯、不同的語(yǔ)法表達(dá)一個(gè)意思。
在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中,很多考生都會(huì)遇到無(wú)話可說(shuō)的尷尬狀況。這會(huì)直接影響考官的評(píng)分印象,導(dǎo)致自身口語(yǔ)能力無(wú)法完全展示。要取高分就要有新意,拓展性思維訓(xùn)練可以幫考生在答題中增加亮點(diǎn)。
有兩個(gè)拓展思路的方法
A. 既要多角度,又要全面
雅思口語(yǔ)考試中,考生常犯思考角度單一,內(nèi)容不豐富的毛病。其實(shí)答題要從多角度思考,還要合理。需要先直接給明確答案,保證考官了解你已經(jīng)領(lǐng)會(huì)了問(wèn)題的用意。
B. 有邏輯地“秀”一下
要學(xué)會(huì)主動(dòng)性拓展答題,不要只回答考官提問(wèn),在考官問(wèn)題基礎(chǔ)上自己增加信息量。靈活套用自問(wèn)自答方式,把所需回答內(nèi)容的關(guān)鍵信息,連同發(fā)散開(kāi)來(lái)的信息一起傳達(dá)給考官。切記,內(nèi)容拼湊要合理完整,不要胡編亂造,沒(méi)有邏輯性。另外,需要注意的是掌握適度原則,否則也可能被認(rèn)定偏題。
如果在雅思考試中,考生發(fā)現(xiàn)談到的問(wèn)題自己熟悉,可以采用積極答題方式。表述中靈活加入想法,找生動(dòng)例子讓內(nèi)容豐富和個(gè)性化。
第三、原創(chuàng)
這里介紹三大個(gè)性化答題方式
A. 好“反向”、“迂回”思維
反向思維,出其不意,要出現(xiàn)大部分人想不到的事物,讓考官產(chǎn)生新鮮感。只有做到特別,才能拿高分。另外,迂回思維,通過(guò)多角度、多層次回答問(wèn)題,達(dá)到準(zhǔn)確。
B. 學(xué)說(shuō)諺語(yǔ)再幽默點(diǎn)
既想言簡(jiǎn)意賅,又想有亮點(diǎn),用諺語(yǔ)是最有效的辦法。英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)流傳非常廣,大家平時(shí)要多積累,考試中用上一兩句效果會(huì)非常好。還要記得發(fā)揮一些想象力,多運(yùn)用幽默。
C. 帶入個(gè)人理解
學(xué)會(huì)以小見(jiàn)大,把個(gè)人想法、感受升華到更高層次的境界,提高通篇的思想。如果把握不好主題較寬或難度大的題目,可以從個(gè)人情感點(diǎn)切入,把問(wèn)題簡(jiǎn)單化。
雅思口語(yǔ)范文:An English Class
簡(jiǎn)單版:
The English lesson that left me a deep impression( 讓我印象深刻)was taught by my junior high-school teacher, Miss Wang. One day she came into the class with a bag of things in her hand. I was curious about what they were and Miss wang said “it’s a surprise!” That really made me more interested. Later she told the class that we were going to learn how to order meals in English. First she showed pictures of tasty food and played a video of a person ordering steak. From the video, I learned lots of natural expressions (自然的表達(dá)), and even better, I got to know some western table manners, like you have to put your napkin on your lap before you eat the steak, and place fork in your left hand and hold the knife in your right hand. The best part was that we had a role-playing game. My teacher Miss wang first divided the class into pairs, gave us some food as realia (課堂教具), and provided some sentences and dialogues for us to practice. Everything went on smoothly and effectively. It was definitely one of the best English lessons I’ve ever had.
升級(jí)版:
I have had many English lessons throughout my academic years, and the most impressive one was taught by my junior high-school English teacher, _. It was a Friday morning; she came into the class, holding her teaching materials and carrying a huge bag of things. When wondering what they were, I was told that it’s gonna be a surprise for the class. That really held my attention (讓我興致盎然).
Shortly afterwards, she said to the class“today, we are going to learn how to order a menu in english” On hearing that,I was like “wow, is she going to treat us to some delicacies(請(qǐng)我們吃美味佳肴)? That would be amazing!” Then basically, she showed some pictures of tantalizing food on her power-point, and engaged students to discuss what they prefer to eat and why. Every one looked so intrigued and was eager to talk. In a while she played a video of a person ordering a menu in a steak house. Through watching that clip(片段), not only did I learn some authentic restaurant vocabulary and expressions (地道的用餐詞匯和表達(dá)), but also I got aware ofwesterndining etiquette(西方用餐禮儀). I have to say that lesson was really well-planned(精心設(shè)計(jì)的). But that’s not all. What fascinated me most was the food she brought to the class. Believe it or not, those things in the bag were mini steaks! Hardly can you imagine how much she must have spent on them. The final activity was a role-playing game: students working in pairs, one plays the role of a waiter and the other a customer. I was lucky enough to the customer and try the steak.It was like a taste of heaven(太美味了!), so tender and fresh.
All in all, this lesson was definitely something unforgettable. It was about English, but also about culture and communication. Totally student-focused(以學(xué)生為中心)!
