【雅思口語】形而下— 最神通廣大的法寶之二:具體細節(jié)
好多烤鴨們一直對雅思口語抱著一種誤解,以為好的英語口語就是好的中文口語的翻譯,所以在口語課堂上,經(jīng)常聽到有同學(xué)在很糾結(jié)地講著“形而上”的英文——很抽象,很哲學(xué)。講到最后把自己和聽眾們都搞得云山霧罩,不明白為什么自己的中文呱呱叫,換了英文就把老外給講得眉頭緊鎖。事實上,考官欣賞的英文是“形而下”——很具體,很生活才對。也就是說,跟雅思考官展示“交流能力”,靠的不是不著邊際的高談闊論,而是要有實實在在的內(nèi)容,也就是必不可少的small details(具體細節(jié))。接下來,專家就將介紹一下如何在考試的三個part中使用small details把問題答得通透明白。
Part 1:Introduction & Interview
【常見真題】
Do you like sports?
Do you like art?
Do you like cooking?
Do you like to watch TV?
【低分答案】
Yes,l do.
【題目分析】
很多同學(xué)在給出這樣的答案時,都抱著一種想法:在part1考官只是在問我問題。所以回答時有點像接受審問,越少說越好。但是考官真正的目的卻是在邀請考生主動提供信息,以作為檢測考生英語交流能力的參考,也就是說回答的越少展示的機會就越少,分數(shù)自然就低。
所以建議考生在回答part1的問題時應(yīng)“主動”給出以下的信息:
what type of sport or art or music or TV programs you like
when you do something
how long you have liked it
how often you do something
who you do it with
why you like it
……
【高分答案】
Yes,I do.
(what type) I’m really into basketball.
(when & how long) I’ve been playing it for many years since I was in middle school,
(who & how often) and I enjoy playing it with my friends at weekends.
(why) In fact, It’s always the best way for me to relax after a whole week’s studying…
【相關(guān)范例】
Where do you come from?
I’m from a small village in the mountains – (where) a long way from the capital city of my country.
How do you normally get to college in the morning?
I take the train to Central Station and then I catch the express bus – (how long) it takes about an hour altogether.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
No – I’m the only child. (who) I have ten cousins that I grew up with, so I didn’t feel lonely.
Part 2:Topic Card
【常見真題】
Describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you in your education.
You should say:
where you met them
what subject they taught
what was special about them
and explain why this person influenced you so much.
【低分答案】
Where you met them——I met him at my high school
What subject they thought——he taught me maths
【題目分析】
我們都知道要想在考試當中順利完成part 2,時間限制是第一道關(guān)卡,考官會嚴格遵守時間限制。如果考生無法完成2分鐘左右的陳述,可能就會跟考官有一段時間尷尬的“僵持”,那么一定會嚴重影響part2的得分。而卡片當中每條思路展開不夠,便是達不到這一要求的罪魁禍首。那么在part 2當中更應(yīng)該注意補充small details。
【高分答案】
Where you met them——
(when):I remember it was the first of my junior high school
(who): that I met my teacher Mr. Wang,
(how long):and he had been teaching us for the next 3 years…
What subject they thought——
