13/14号的小烤鸭们,口语独立话题一直是好多人心中的痛。尤其是经过了阅读和听力的摧残,答口语的时候会有一种人魂分离的感觉。
针对口语部分,如果1、2题能答好,不管是对口语后半部分的心情,还是对口语整体分数而言,都有重大影响。所以,今天挑本场考试机经里的两道独立题简要分析一下:
Task1
这次考试的独立话题机经task1部分,依旧有关于整容的这道题,这道题从16年到现在,“经久不衰”,变换过很多种形式,最惨的大概是这种问法:
What’s your opinion about plastic surgery?
好多学生不认识plastic surgery,于是开始发挥想象力胡说一通…
稍微好一些的是这样的问法:
- Some people want to change their appearance, even by surgery. Do you agree or disagree?
- Do you think it is a good thing or not to change one’s appearance through plastic surgery?
- In your country, do you think good appearance is important while finding a job?
思路大体是这两种:
1. 同意/觉得是好事:
a. 爱美是人的天性(it’s human nature to love beauty);
b. 有权利改变自己的外形,获得自信,从而在生活各方面都能更开心;
2. 不同意/不觉得是好事:
a. 会有副作用(side effect),近期(short term)可能会开心,但从长远(long term)来看不是好事
b. 应该更注重内在,提高自身能力,这样才能更有竞争力(competitive)。变美但没实力依然没用。
c. 贵!!!
Task2
这次说说这道题:
Children will be unwilling to learn musical instrument since they need to keep practicing. What should parents do?
1. Force child to learn musical instrument.
2. Let child choose whether to learn musical instrument.
这个就很适合套用之前一篇task6听力的一些素材, 可以套用的已经挑出来在下面啦~配合你们的答案自行组合使用(音频放在这里,你们顺便锻炼一下task6的听力,而且素材也许以后也用得到):
1. … depends on the child’s attitude
2. dislike and refuses to do
3. give a reward… maybe take her out to the her favourite pizza restaurant.
4. react positively …
5. playing the piano is an obligation and not something fun to do…
6. becomes less enamored of playing and eventually quits
7. have a negative effect on her
观点方面
大体可以从以下这些入手:
选1. 被逼着学,但可以给奖励(reward)。通过这种奖励的形式,孩子会慢慢喜欢上这种乐器。
另外,在未来也可以成为他们休闲娱乐缓解压力的方式(forget about daily life stress for a while)。于是又套用上了万能理由;
选2. 如果一旦不想学,被动学习(passive learning)会很消极,学不好还浪费时间(time consuming)影响心情,没有任何好处。不如干别的。
