【模擬考場】:

A1: I’d like to talk about Yaoming who is from shanghai. He is a famous basketball player. He is now in NBA. He is special because he is very tall. He is also a kind man who takes part in charity.

A2: Well, I have to say that sports is really not my cup of tea. Actually, P.E lessons have always been a nightmare to me all through my school life. That may explain why I am not a fan of any sports star. But um, I think I can tell something about Yaoming, who is a basketball player from shanghai. I bet you’ve heard of him, since he is now a NBA star. You can see him on TV commercial, billboards, posters, etc. All of these prove how famous he is. He is a very tall man. I can hardly imagine how it would be if I were standing beside him. A striking contrast! Apart from that, Yao is the kind of sports star who would like to help others. I once read an article saying that Yao is one of the richest men in China and he devotes much to charity.

這一組A1和A2的對比再次突顯了生活細(xì)節(jié)給口語內(nèi)容帶來的絕妙變化。A2中的“不喜歡體育,體育課在學(xué)生時代一直是噩夢”,“電視廣告,路邊海報到處可見姚明蹤影”,“曾經(jīng)讀到的一篇文章講…”這些都是日常生活中的細(xì)節(jié)。這些話本身在語言上一點(diǎn)都不難,卻能起到很好的作用,有真實(shí)感。包括最后一句“很難想象自己與姚明站一起將會是身高上的多大懸殊”也是用較為生活化的語言讓聽者對于“高”這一特點(diǎn)有更直觀的認(rèn)識。

Part 3典型案例:

【真題實(shí)例】:

Q: what do you think will the buildings be like in the future?

【模擬考場】:

A1: …(無語)maybe in the future there will be more buildings because the population is growing. And the buildings may be even higher because of the limited land resource.

A2: Well, the question actually reminds me of a piece of news I read on line the other day. You know, as two major earthquakes took place in China within two years, and many other natural disasters happened across the globe, architects are busy constructing buildings that can sustain heavy stress. In particular, they aim to construct the kind of building that can sway rather than break under the stress of an earthquake.

【專家點(diǎn)評】

對于part 3的話題,十分建議考生添加細(xì)節(jié),否則很多問題都會覺得難以拓展開。以該題為例,A2提出將來的房屋“會抗壓性更強(qiáng),用以抵御各種自然災(zāi)害”不僅內(nèi)容豐富還很有新意和內(nèi)涵。這就要求考生平時要多積累,勤思考,看到一些與雅思口語話題相關(guān)的新聞故事多留個心眼,不妨記下以備不時之需。

總之,雅思考試是源于生活的,是與我們周圍發(fā)生的事緊密相關(guān)的。鑒于這一點(diǎn),我們在考試中不應(yīng)該脫離現(xiàn)實(shí)高談闊論,而應(yīng)從日常生活實(shí)際出發(fā),把考官當(dāng)作朋友,真切的去與他們進(jìn)行交流。
