所謂地點(diǎn)是指像 “a city” “a country” “a place you’d like to go to”這樣的題目，回答的時(shí)候更多的是從相對(duì)概括的角度去說(shuō)這個(gè)地方的位置，歷史，人文以及衣食住行等方面。而建筑題目像 “ a library” “a museum” “a concert hall”等則需要考生對(duì)建筑的外在結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)在設(shè)施進(jìn)行更多的描述。

相信大家在回答地點(diǎn)題時(shí)，問(wèn)題都不大。但關(guān)于建筑題，很多同學(xué)很容易把描述過(guò)程變成 there be 句型的大集合。比如說(shuō)“一個(gè)房間”， 有的同學(xué)醉心于用there be 描述房間里面的各種擺設(shè)，殊不知因?yàn)閮?nèi)容過(guò)于乏味，考官已經(jīng)“神游四海”了。在這里，介紹大家一個(gè)好方法可以讓這種比較“雞肋”的話題馬上充滿趣味?！?＋1”原則會(huì)幫助大家生產(chǎn)出更出色的表達(dá)。所謂的“1＋1”原則是指，每描述建筑的某個(gè)特點(diǎn)，就在后面加上相關(guān)的背景故事（原因，帶來(lái)的感覺(jué)等），讓描述與敘述相結(jié)合，這樣可以有效的避免答案的枯燥感。

例子：

A room

I’m glad to say something about my bedroom. It’s a medium-sized room with one large French window that overlooks the fountain in the communal garden. Standing beside the window and watching children playing around the fountain is a kind of fun in my everyday life. 通過(guò)“每天我都喜歡站在窗邊，看著孩子們圍著噴泉玩?！边@句話，很好的傳達(dá)了一種形象感，這就是窗帶來(lái)的生活感受。I had the room decorated when I moved in. I chose light blue paint to make it light and increase the feeling of space. What’s more, it’s also my favorite color that represents the ocean and the sky. Whenever I stay in the room, I feel quite relaxed and cozy. 既然說(shuō)房間的顏色，就不要只說(shuō)顏色，要把顏色后面的故事一并講出來(lái)，如上面提到“淡藍(lán)色是我最喜歡的顏色，它代表著天空和海洋，每次在這種顏色的房間休息，我都能感覺(jué)放松而且愜意“。這樣的答案才能讓考官產(chǎn)生共鳴。I like a feeling of space so there’s no unnecessary furniture—just a sofa, a small wardrobe, a bookshelf and a computer desk. I also have two wicker trunks that I use for storage purposes but they also provide extra seating when I have lots of visitors. And on the wall, there is an Indian scene with lots of people and an elephant, preparing for a long journey. I love it because it makes me think of traveling. It’s probably my favorite possession. Just because of this picture, I really made a journey to India last autumn. All what I experienced there was so exciting and unforgettable. 通過(guò)說(shuō)墻上的一副裝飾畫(huà)，引出一個(gè)背景故事，內(nèi)容真實(shí)而有趣。

綜上可以看出，一段好的對(duì)于建筑類話題的描述，絕對(duì)不應(yīng)該是枯燥而且純粹描述性的，加入至少40％的敘述性語(yǔ)言非常的有必要。這也是“1＋1”原則的精髓。
