Part 2

縱觀歷年雅思口語考試真題,語言題目在第二部分cue card中的數(shù)量有限,反復出現(xiàn)的有以下幾道:

① Describe another language that you would like to learn. You should say:

·what this language is

·how you would learn it

·what difficulties you think you would have (or, might have) when learning this language.

And explain why you would choose to study this language.

② Describe a foreign language you want to learn (besides/except) English.

③ Describe something useful for your English learning.

④ Describe a useful way to study English.

⑤ Describe a useful tool that helps you learn other languages.

⑥ Describe something that will help you to learn foreign languages.

從以上六道題目不難看出,第二部分的考查內(nèi)容主要圍繞兩個方面:

1 對某一非英語的外語語種的描述,如①②題:

雖然第①題沒有明確說明except English,但肯定不宜以英語來發(fā)揮??忌趥淇紩r一定要對另一種其它語言做充足的了解和準備。但萬變不離其宗,就其具體內(nèi)容而言,不論是學習語言的方法還是困難,考生們在描述過程中仍然可以借用英語學習過程中的經(jīng)驗。

2 對具體的語言學習方法和學習工具的描述,如③④⑤⑥題:

這樣的題目更加具體化,但展開的方向也有很多:學習方法可以從用形象記憶法記憶單詞到觀看原聲電影培養(yǎng)語感,學習工具可以從最原始的字典到與最新科技相結合的電子產(chǎn)品。考生們可以準備的題目有限,但是思路是較為開闊和明朗的。

第三部分的題目通常是延續(xù)第二部分的內(nèi)容,而相對于第一部分深度和廣度上則會有所增加。除了前面兩部分也會涉及的內(nèi)容以外,對比比較類問題的出現(xiàn),把語言話題與其他話題相結合等便是這一部分最大的特點。根據(jù)這些特點,朗閣海外考試研究中心將第三部分相對有擴展性的題目劃分成以下幾類:

1 對語言學習本身及學習過程的討論:

這類題目內(nèi)容跟第二部分的切合點更緊密,考查的題目數(shù)量最多,題目出現(xiàn)頻率也最高,考生要越加重視,備考時可作為第二部分卡片描述的延續(xù)。其中包括學習第二語言或其它外語的重要性、必要性、益處、弊端,學習語言過程中可能會遇到的困難、最有用的方法,哪門語言是你覺得最有用的、將來會最受歡迎的又或者除英語以外最重要的等等。
