范文
I would like to talk about one of my best friends’ birthday party last year, which was an unforgettable occasion to me because of a really special cake.
While I do not have a sweet tooth, most of my friends are big fans of confections. I guess some of them can even be called ‘sweet addicts’. Anyway, that’s why they decided to make a red velvet cake as a birthday gift for Kelly, one of my best friends in high school. Since it was for Kelly, I rolled up my sleeves and gave them a hand despite my limited baking skills.
It took us three days to complete the baking, and the moment Kelly saw the nicely baked cake decorated with flowers, she was totally in awe, since none of us ‘bakers’ was actually a decent cook. The truth is, it was not easy for a group of green hands to get together and try making this work. We first had a big fight over whether we should make Kelly a Choco Lave cake or a red velvet cake. The fight has been on for a whole day and we finally decided to make her the latter because she once said that red velvet cake looked cute. I can’t remember how many times there were when someone accidentally messed up with the eggs, or forgot to take the cake out of the oven. After times of failing, we finally managed to have baked a lovely red velvet cake that smells really nice. The cream was rich and the color was just about right. To be honest, it somehow reminded me of a rose in spring. Well, I guess I was just being too happy about what we had achieved.
On Kelly’s birthday party, we shared the cake with a whole bunch of other guests, and everyone there agreed it was delicious. A bit oversweet though, probably because some of us had put too much sugar in it. In spite of this, Kelly said she loved it as much as she loved us, and the cake was the best birthday gift she ever received. Well, I have to admit that, her words had made it all worthwhile and special.

A special cake that I have had was on my friend's last birthday.
My friend and I booked a lovely afternoon tea for celebrating her birthday last summer. Tea salon was quite hot at that time. This store ranked top as a matcha afternoon tea restaurant in my city.So, we arrived there 15 minutes earlier than our reservation to make sure we can get into the restaurant without queuing.
The staff there were so helpful and polite. They introduced the desserts with clear details and nice smile. We ordered three different cakes and 2 cups of matcha tea. The sizzling matcha ice cream cake is the most special cake I have ever eaten because I was so surprised by the taste and the look of the cake. Actually, the cake was eaten in an unique way as the ice cream mousse cake was served on a heated iron plate. After the cake served to the table, I covered the ice cream mousse cake with matcha sauce which is a whole set of this course. It was amazing when the matcha sauce touched the cake and the iron plate. You know what, the heat plate generate heated the cake with matcha sauce. They were perfectly matched together. The cake tasted very smooth and soft on my tongue, then my mouth was full of sweet.
We took many pictures of this cake and posted it to the social networking websites. I think no cake can beat it at that moment. It became one of the must try when I recommend dessert to others.

雅思口語(yǔ)part2:特殊的蛋糕
Describe a special cake you had
What kind of cake it is
When you ate the cake
Who you ate with
and explain why you think the cake is special
Well, I in my life I have tasted so many birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, and marriage cakes. But after reading the word “special cake”, there’s only one cake which I think is special. So here I would talk about it.
It is a red velvet cake. Red Velvet cake is a red or red-brown layer cake and this cake is usually topped with yummy cream cheese frosting. Unlike normal cakes, this cake has a blood red interior.It’ss common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, cocoa, and flour for the cake, beetroot for the colour.
As it is commonly served on Christmas or Valentine’s Day, So I got chance to taste this cake last year.
I tasted this cake in a Christmas Party held at Hyatt Hotel in Ludhiana. Overall, it was a Christmas party with lots of fun and games. Hopefully, I would be going there this year also.
As I said earlier I tasted this cake in a party, so I had this cake with everyone who was present in the party. No doubt, majority of them were not known to me, but while celebrating, we all enjoyed the party together. I was familiar there with only one person, and that was my friend – Barack Obama.
Well, I believe this cake is very special. It is because for the first time in my life, I tasted a cake which was red in colour. Moreover, it was 4 tier cake. And interesting this about this cake is that Red velvet cake is colored with beets, instead of artificial food colouring. This cake is also called as “red Waldorf cake,” “red carpet cake,” “red mystery cake,” “flame cake,” and “$300 cake”.
雅思口語(yǔ)的4個(gè)評(píng)分維度和17個(gè)得分點(diǎn)
大多數(shù)考生都知道雅思口語(yǔ)評(píng)分有四個(gè)維度,但如何根據(jù)每個(gè)部分做具體的準(zhǔn)備呢?本文具體解讀了考官打分時(shí)最看重的四個(gè)維度,以及包含在維度內(nèi)的17個(gè)得分點(diǎn),大家可以根據(jù)這些要點(diǎn)更有方向性地提高口語(yǔ)能力~
我在英國(guó)讀書的時(shí)候恰巧認(rèn)識(shí)了一位雅思考官。慢慢地熟悉了之后,他開始給我透露一些雅思口語(yǔ)的高分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),我把他的原話整理成以下文章。文章的名字叫雅思口語(yǔ)考官看重的4個(gè)評(píng)分維度和17個(gè)得分點(diǎn)。抓住這個(gè)東西,對(duì)于考生來(lái)說(shuō)備考起來(lái)就更加有方向了。
雅思考官通常從以下四個(gè)方面來(lái)進(jìn)行評(píng)分:
When you go into the speaking test, the examiner grades you in four areas:
FC--Fluency & coherence 流利度與連貫性
GA--Grammar Range & Accuracy 語(yǔ)法準(zhǔn)確性與精確性
LR--Lexical Resource 詞匯的豐富度
PR--Pronunciation 語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)的流暢與清晰度
Now to be honest every examiner knows what the strong and weak areas are for Chinese students. They all know that LR, which we can also call vocabulary is generally their strong point and FC and PR are generally the weaker. That does not mean that all students will have the same problems. The average IELTS score for Chinese students is 5.5.
老實(shí)講,雅思考官對(duì)于烤鴨的強(qiáng)弱項(xiàng)早就了然于胸了。中國(guó)烤鴨們都知道詞匯是他們的強(qiáng)項(xiàng),但是流利度、連貫性和語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)卻是他們的軟肋。這并不是說(shuō)每個(gè)學(xué)生都有這樣的問(wèn)題。中國(guó)烤鴨的平均雅思成績(jī)是5.5.
The profile usually breaks down like this. Examiners called this a “jagged profile” because on a graph it looks like a jagged line。
中國(guó)烤鴨們的成績(jī)呈鋸齒狀(像下面展示的這樣)??脊賯儼堰@個(gè)叫“鋸齒圖式”,因?yàn)榭鉴唫兊姆謹(jǐn)?shù)波動(dòng)呈鋸齒裝。
FC 5 GA 6 PR 5 LR 6
If we take an average of these four scores we can see that is 5.5 score. This means that any strategy you use for passing the IELTS test should concentrate on FC and PR more than GA and LR. I am not saying that you should forget about GA and LR completely, just focus on the typical weak points。
四個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)平均一下就是5.5. 這就意味著如果你想拿到雅思高分,那么你的重心應(yīng)該更多的放在流利度和連貫性、語(yǔ)音上面,而不是語(yǔ)法和詞匯上面。
In the next few parts I will take a look at each area and discuss how you can increase your scores by looking at what examiners want. On the next page you can see a checklist of basic questions that you can ask yourself during the exam. If you can manage to pay attention to all of these points, then you are going to succeed on the exam。
接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)部分,我會(huì)詳細(xì)介紹一下如何準(zhǔn)備每個(gè)部分,以“取悅”考官,從而拿到高分。在下一頁(yè)是你考試時(shí)會(huì)被重點(diǎn)考察的一個(gè)系列的問(wèn)題。如果你在參加考試時(shí)能注意到這些點(diǎn)的話,你距離高分可能就不遠(yuǎn)了。
A point that I want to remind you of, is that it is always your weak points that will pull you down, so remember to maintain your strong points, but really focus on your weak points so that everything evens out。
我想提醒烤鴨們,拉低你分?jǐn)?shù)的是你的弱項(xiàng)而非你的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)。所以,記住要不斷強(qiáng)化你的優(yōu)勢(shì),同時(shí)還要重點(diǎn)改善你的弱點(diǎn),這樣最終才會(huì)有好的結(jié)果。
雅思考官在乎的17個(gè)口語(yǔ)得分點(diǎn):

對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)考生的建議是根據(jù)以上的4個(gè)維度與17個(gè)得分點(diǎn)逐一進(jìn)行練習(xí)。關(guān)于英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的提高辦法是很多雅思考生特別頭疼的問(wèn)題。在雅思口語(yǔ)中,光靠機(jī)經(jīng)很難拿到8以上的高分。所以還得靠平時(shí)的積累。那么中國(guó)考生在練習(xí)口語(yǔ)的時(shí)候最大的問(wèn)題是什么呢?
根據(jù)筆者多年的觀察,許多考生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)多年卻未曾突破,最大的原因不是方法問(wèn)題而是態(tài)度問(wèn)題。也就是說(shuō),大家一直在找方法,在各種方法之間選擇,最重要的行動(dòng)卻沒(méi)有??忌鷤兛梢韵胂耄覀?cè)趯W(xué)母語(yǔ)的時(shí)候有方法嗎?
筆者自己的口語(yǔ)比一般非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生好。原因總結(jié)為以下三點(diǎn),供大家借鑒:
1)大學(xué)時(shí)的大量練習(xí)。由于筆者是學(xué)校英語(yǔ)協(xié)會(huì)的會(huì)長(zhǎng),每周都要為會(huì)員組織英語(yǔ)活動(dòng),等于變相地在當(dāng)老師。
后來(lái)在英國(guó)讀教育心理學(xué)才發(fā)現(xiàn)能達(dá)到最好效果的學(xué)習(xí)方式,就是learning by teaching others(教會(huì)別人)。很多老師英語(yǔ)不錯(cuò),一是底子好,二是一直不斷在用,不斷在想辦法教會(huì)別人,所以自然就保持得好。
2)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)是從可以蹦詞、到蹦短語(yǔ)、再到蹦句子,這樣一個(gè)從簡(jiǎn)單到復(fù)雜的過(guò)程,和嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言并無(wú)兩樣。
能看懂的是被動(dòng)知識(shí),用說(shuō)出來(lái)的才是語(yǔ)言能力。我們中國(guó)的語(yǔ)言教學(xué)最大的問(wèn)題就是把語(yǔ)言知識(shí)等同于語(yǔ)言能力了。語(yǔ)言知識(shí)是語(yǔ)言能力的基礎(chǔ),但不是自動(dòng)等于能力。就好比,你讀了10本游泳的學(xué)術(shù)著作,你對(duì)游泳的知識(shí)已經(jīng)很豐富了,但你不下水,不去游,你還是一點(diǎn)也不具備游泳的能力。這種情況下掉下水,即便你學(xué)富五車,一樣會(huì)被淹死。
3)在缺乏真實(shí)語(yǔ)言環(huán)境的境況下,外語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)能力的保持要靠每天的聽力練習(xí)。語(yǔ)言的學(xué)習(xí)聽力要先行。你能聽懂心里起碼不慌。聽的多了,自然就能下意識(shí)的講出來(lái),講不出來(lái),就是聽的還不夠多。你能不能說(shuō)出,是(yes)和不(no)?當(dāng)然可以。其他不行,是因?yàn)榫毩?xí)的量不到位。所以要練就一口漂亮的口語(yǔ)就是這樣,要堅(jiān)持。
語(yǔ)言是否地道除了表面的語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)問(wèn)題其實(shí)更深層的問(wèn)題是思維的問(wèn)題。思維的問(wèn)題是最根本的。經(jīng)常有雅思考生問(wèn),范老師,每次我說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候腦袋里總是先想中文,然后再把中文轉(zhuǎn)化成英語(yǔ),回答時(shí)總是很慢,這是我學(xué)習(xí)方法的錯(cuò)誤還是由于不熟練?
我回復(fù)說(shuō)用英語(yǔ)思維是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)最高境界。一門語(yǔ)言你如果習(xí)得成功了,那么用一個(gè)成語(yǔ)來(lái)講就是“得意忘形”。得到了語(yǔ)言的意思,忘記了語(yǔ)言的形狀。這位同學(xué)講英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候腦子里還要過(guò)中文,然后解碼成英文,說(shuō)明對(duì)英語(yǔ)這門語(yǔ)言,還沒(méi)有習(xí)得成功,還在學(xué)習(xí)之中。
那么如何習(xí)得?有沒(méi)有靈丹妙藥?
捷徑真的沒(méi)有。語(yǔ)言從學(xué)習(xí)(learning)到習(xí)得(acquisition/acquired)中間的這個(gè)過(guò)程很長(zhǎng)。如果是母語(yǔ)大概需要12-24個(gè)月,也就是2歲。在這24個(gè)月里面,你大概一共要主動(dòng)、被動(dòng)地做將近7000個(gè)小時(shí)的聽力訓(xùn)練。
我們可以算算,考生在考四級(jí)聽力、六級(jí)聽力、雅思、托福聽力之前做過(guò)多少小時(shí)的聽力訓(xùn)練?
我的新浪微博曾經(jīng)介紹過(guò)一篇10000小時(shí)理論的文章。說(shuō)的是任何一個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專家需要至少10000個(gè)小時(shí)的練習(xí)才能成為這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專家。
要達(dá)到用英語(yǔ)去思維足夠的聽力輸入量和練習(xí)量是第一個(gè)基礎(chǔ)因素。除了足夠的練習(xí)量之外如果你不出國(guó),在國(guó)內(nèi)你很難真正達(dá)到用英語(yǔ)去思考。因?yàn)檎Z(yǔ)言是文化和思維的外衣??忌浅源竺住酌?、看馬恩列毛鄧...長(zhǎng)大的,咱們的思維和那邊吃牛肉、什么都看的西方人思維是不可能一樣的。
所以,不要為了追求用英語(yǔ)思維而去學(xué)英語(yǔ)。沒(méi)意義。至少我達(dá)不到這個(gè)水平。我能做到的是和老外聊天輪到我張嘴的時(shí)候,我的腦子里不過(guò)中文,這算不算用英語(yǔ)思維?我認(rèn)為不算。
總之,雅思口語(yǔ)的高分需要的是堅(jiān)持練習(xí)。態(tài)度比方法重要。英語(yǔ)這門相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言只要堅(jiān)持去學(xué)了一定會(huì)好起來(lái)的。
