雅思口语part 1的实质
雅思口语第一部分用剑桥的官方定义来说,是“关于你的背景、爱好、兴趣和习惯的基础问题”o但这听起来也太虚伪了吧?用普通人的话来讲,Part 1的本质就是一个chat,跟考官聊聊你自己的基本情况。从答案长度上来讲,每道题平均能回答3句话左右就相当不错了o当然,如果确实遇到了准备充分的题目,那你也不必“嘴下留情”,尽管发挥就好了,只要能确保流利就成。下面来让我们看一下“深度解析雅思口语part 1的实质”
关键词:chat
一般来说在国外聊天儿的时候人们是比较随意的( laid-back)o既然咱们铁了心要去考官们的国家,那就得按照他们的习惯来了o如果Part 1说得就跟背书(regurgitation)似的,人家就会怀疑你跟他/她聊的诚意。所以,在Part 1里,请放松您的心态,跟examiner好好地聊一次吧!
Part 1的考题也是口试三个部分中最接近考生自己的生活的,比如下面都是《剑8》给出的Part 1考题:
◆How often do you see the people who live next door to you?
◆What kinds of problem do people sometimes have with their neighbours?
◆How do you think neighbours can help each other?(您可以在Day 7的Topic 9 看到聊neighbour所需的全部常用英文)
◆Which magazines and newspapers do you read? [Why?]
◆What kinds of article are you most interested in? [Why?]
◆Have you ever read a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language?[Why?]
◆Do you think reading a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language is a good way to learn the language?[Why?/Why not?](您可以在Day 7的Topic 5看到对报纸杂志类考题的详细分析)
◆Do you like to have flowers in your home?[Why?/Why not?]
◆Where would you go to buy flowers? [Why?]
◆Are flowers important in your culture?[Why?/Why not?](在Day 7的Topic 19 您将看到与flowers有关的地道英文)
◆How often do you watch television? [Why?/Why not?]
◆Do you enjoy the advertisements on television?[Why?/Why not?]
◆Do you think most programmes on television are good?[Why?/Why not?](您可以从Day 7的Topic 4了解到大量涉及到电视的常用英文表达)
雅思口语part 2的实质
对于Part 2,剑桥的官方定义是“'In Part 2,the examiner gives you a topic card. You have one minute to prepare and make notes. Then you'II be required to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.”下面来让我们看一下“深度解析雅思口语part 2的实质”
不过现在在很多考点考官其实都已经不再是发一个card了,而是发一张大纸,上面在一个很小的角落上印着一个topic和几点提示。
Part 2的本质是要你做一个description(描述)o为了更充分地理解什么是“description”,您可以回想一下自己小时候上语文课的时候,老师向你描述一个事物时和老师平时说话有什么不同o
与“闲聊”至少有下面三个不同
☆描述时一定会有适当的思考和停顿( pause)。
l 我们说过,Part 1基本可以看成是chat,但是有些考生在Part 2因为正好遇到可以调;动自己准备过的答案(a prepared speech),就直接把答案无比流畅地背出来o这明显i {不符合正常入描述的习惯
☆描述需要有一定的规划,需要有秩序
“描述”需要更加精确的语言o而且和Part 1与Part 3不同,Part 2需要在同一个话题的不同方面之间做数次转换,所以对答案的秩序性要求要高一些。过既然是口语,毕竟与写作的严谨度要求不同,所以也不用太呆板( rigid)。
☆句式会有一些变亿(variations),但是并不会像Part1的chat那么多样(diversified)。
i这一点听起来可能不好理解,但其实您自己试着用母语描述一个话题,1—2分钟你马上就会发现其中的奥秘:这1,2分钟的过程并不是互动( interaction),而只是你自己一个人的独自,不像Part 1那样有考官不断给你信息的反馈(feedback)和新的提问(follow-up.questions),所以你就不必再为了回应新信息去不停地修改你的句式了。
比如下面这道题是<剑8)test 1的Part 2:
Describe a time when you were asked to give
your opinion in a questionnaire or survey.
You should say:
what the questionnaire/survey was about
why you were asked to give your opinions
what opinions you gave
and explain how you felt about giving your
opinions in this questionnaire/survey.
下面这个则是<剑8>test 2的Part 2:
Describe a restaurant that you enjoyed going to.
You should say:
where the restaurant was
why you chose this restaurant
what type of food you ate in this restaurant
and explain what you enjoyed about this party.
再比如下面几个卡片话题也都是近期常考的:
◆Describe an experience you had with bad weather.
◆Describe a restaurant.
◆Describe something interesting that you did recently.
◆Describe a foreign film.
◆Describe a person you have learned from.
◆Describe an interesting place that is open to the public.
◆Describe a celebrity you admire.
◆Describe a song you like.
◆Describe an occasion when you listened to foreign music.
◆Describe a conversation you had on the phone.
如果这些“邪门儿”的topics让您感到无所适从,没关系,我们将在后面的Day 8和Day 10对它们以及整个完整卡片真题库进行深入探寻。
雅思口语part 3的实质
它的本质是一个discussion(讨论),多数时候Part 3的问题与Part 2所考卡片的话题有关,但有的题目也可能会离开( deviate from)卡片的话题o其实这部分和Part 1 的深层区别就是更加“博爱”:Part 1的多数题是关于“you/your life”,而Part 3的多数题目则是关于“people“society”或者“your country”,甚至“the world/global issues”。下面来让我们看一下“深度解析雅思口语part 3的实质 ”
关键词:discussion
既然是discussion.那么它在语言上就必然有下面三个特点:
☆会用到很多表示逻辑关系的连接词。不过大家尽可以放心的是:本书已经为您总;结出了雅思口语乃至海外日常口语里所需的全部常用连接词,详见Day 40
☆要求考生的答案比Part 1要正式一些,无论从用词还是从内容都会比口试前两部;分更formal
☆The good news is: There's no need for you to make it as formal as a job. interview。毕竟Part 3还是考口语水平,所以答案也不必过难,Part 3考题与雅思作文题的难度相比还是有很大差距的o更具体的Part 3详情请见本书Day 9。
所以,如果说Part 1是和考官聊天(chat),那么在Part 3,你的任务就是论述好你的观点( state your case)。
比如《剑8》test 2的Part 2卡片话题是restaurant,相应的Part 3就出现了下列问题:
◆Which are more popular in your country: fast food restaurants or traditional restaurants?
◆Some people say that food in an expensive restaurant is always better than food in a cheap restaurant - would you agree?
◆Do you think there will be a greater choice of food available in shops in the future, or will there be less choice?
再比如,近期的一个常考话题是a piece of electronic equipment,相应的Part 3就出
◆ What kinds of machine are used for housework in modern homes in your country?
◆ How have these machines benefited people? Are there any negative effects of using them?
◆ Do you think all new homes will be equipped with household machines in the future? Why?
