雅思口語中人物話題描述的兩大注意事項
大家都知道雅思口語考試分為三個部分,很多考生都認為第二部分是最難的,而第二部分主要是考查考生對于具體事物、人物、事件等的具體描述能力,時間大約是4分鐘左右,大家在描述的時候有兩項事情是需要注意的,一起來了解一下吧。
在一般情況下,考生需要就考官所提供的卡片上的問題進行2~3分鐘的描述??ㄆe例如下:
Describe a Family Member
Describe a family member that you are very close to.
Your should say:
Who this person is.
What this person is like.
How you are like and unlike this person.
And explain why you are close to this person.
而且在第二部分的描述中,對人物的描述是考試的主流話題之一。人物描述出現(xiàn)的概率相當高,幾乎在每個月的考試里面都能遇到。一般來講,人物描述的體現(xiàn)方式有以下幾種:
a famous person/a child/an old person/a favorite teacher/a close familymember/a close friend
而且現(xiàn)在又出現(xiàn)了一些新的表現(xiàn)方式,如:an interesting person/a happiest person等。不論是怎樣的表現(xiàn)形式,萬變不離其宗,對于考生來說,只要掌握方法,都能逐一破解、舉一反三。一些考生也許會有疑惑,如果只是回答卡片上的幾個問題,似乎很難達到2分鐘的時間長度。那么,卡片上沒有沒到的方面,大家也是可以描述的。但是前提是,這些雖然不是卡片問題的內(nèi)容,但也必須是和該卡片主體息息相關(guān)的信息。
對于該人物的描述,考生需要注意以下幾個方面:
1、對卡片上的問題進行回答。
以上卡片包含著4個問題,在筆記過程中應(yīng)當以詞語為基礎(chǔ)來進行分解:
Who this person is. (人物,e.g. my mother)
What this person is like. (描述性詞語,e.g. looks, personality, hobbies)
How you are like and unlike this person. (比較和對比,similarities – looks &hobbies; differences -- personality)
Why you are close to this person. (該家庭成員對自己的影響.)
2、對卡片上沒有提到信息進行描述。
在準備的1分鐘里面,考生可以將一些問題的答案關(guān)鍵詞紀錄在紙張上,即以上括號里面的一些內(nèi)容,以起到提醒的作用。然后結(jié)合自己的情況進行相關(guān)的描述。
Sample Answer (with key words underlined):
The person I am very close to in my family is my mother. My mother ismedium height who always wears a friendly smile on her face. Blue is herfavorite color as she thinks it symbols peace and emotion. I think is has a lotto do with her personality. As a music teacher, she is always very patient andkind to her students. There are quite a few similarities between us. People allsay that I look like my mother more than my father. We both like listening tothe music and watching movies. On weekends, we often go shopping in thesupermarkets or department stores. But we are also different in many ways. Mymother is a good gardener. Our veranda is lined with all her gardeningmasterpieces, such as chrysanthemum and Chinese roses. I am not so patient intaking care of the plants. Besides, my mother can cook many delicious dishes,while I can’t at all. I have learned how to treat people and how to deal withproblems on my own from her. She is the one I am close to as she reallyinfluences me a lot.
有的考生在未結(jié)束描述前,可能被考官打斷(Sorry. I am gonna stop youthere.)如果遇到這樣的情況,是因為考官需要掌握和掌控考試的節(jié)奏和時間,打斷并非是由于認為考生講得不好,所以考生不必緊張,只需要根據(jù)考官的指令繼續(xù)考試即可。這個是對考生們心理的考驗,相信大家經(jīng)過那么多大大小小的考試,心理素質(zhì)是沒有問題的。
以上就是為大家整理的雅思口語中人物話題描述的兩大注意事項,雅思口語考試是有其自己的流程和內(nèi)容的,總共分為三個部分,大家在備考的時候可以針對這三個部分進行詳細備考,希望本篇文章介紹的能夠幫助到大家。
