雅思口语 Part 2 难点
现如今雅思口语 Part 2 的话题越来越细化且刁钻。很多同学在 1 分钟的准备时间内都是大脑一片空白的。自己的回答非常空洞无聊,无法给考官留下深刻的印象,自然也无法拿到高分。 小王子通过分析大量的 Part 2 回答范例,发现不少同学要么仅将话题卡中给的问题提示扩充成简单的回答,要么使用了包含过多无关句子的模板。 在这篇文章中,小王子将总结出两种常用的 Part 2 描述题的拓展策略,教你有效利用准备时间,让你的描述题变得生动有趣。 策略一: WH 细节描述法
当你面对话题无从下手时,可以利用 ”WH Questions”来引导思路的拓展,这一方法包括 “what, when, where, who(whom), why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。
这里用这道题目举个例子:Describe a restaurant or cafe you like.
首先须明确 what (the Bookworm), when (some five years ago), where (down the south of Chengdu), and who(foreigners for most of time);
其次是整个描述的重点 why(comfortable, pleasant, intimate ), how exactly (detailed detion of being comfortable, pleasant, and intimate), how often(once a month...), how much(30-40 yuan on average per person), and how many(3 in Whole China)。
当然这里也要提醒大家,在回答中,不可机械地按照每一个 WH 来作答,否则你的描述同样会 非常死板乏味,你需要在当中进行灵活的过渡。下面是一个Sample Answer,希望可以帮助大家拓展思路。
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: 举例支撑法
在 Part 2 中,如果回答仅仅在描述,也是会让你的回答显得有些平淡,所以小王子建议大家在描述的同时加上对应的例子,这样可以大大增加你的内容的丰富性和生动性。
但是,这里并不是说一定要非常正式的举例,例如 ‘For example’。口语化的一些表达方式会更加自然,例如“such as,like”.
”Describe a special shop”,以这道题目举例。除了描述这个 shop 里有一些 special goods 外,如果可以具体举例说明有哪些特殊商品可以让你的回答更加生动。
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.
