雅思口语part2解答思路之的4种描述方法
雅思口语共分为3个部分,其中part2和part3是比较难的部分。因为part3会在part2的基础上进行延展性的提问,因此,part2的回答其实是很重要的。那么,对于有难度的part2,我们应该采用什么思路呢,一起来看看下文。
雅思口语解答思路之part2的4种描述方法
在教学的过程中,当问到学生雅思口语三个部分的考试哪个部分最难以对付时,大多数情况下学生会认为Part 2是最令人头痛的部分。现在Part 2 的话题越来越细化、刁钻,虽然有1分钟的准备时间,但在紧张的考试环境下,大部分学生都称“脑子是空白的”,以导致不充分的准备让1-2分钟的描述变得非常的惨白,无奈收尾,给考官的感觉始终印象不深刻,无法达到通过细致的描述想亲自尝试的意愿。
通过分析学生Part 2的回答范例,发现不少同学要么仅将话题卡中给的问题提示作以简单回答,要么使用较为明显的模板回答方式---也就是我们常说的无关紧要的话,来填塞内容上的空白。如 ”If I really have to choose a place to describe, I’d like to tell you that …. is such the place。” 这也是中国学生雅思口语在40个国家和地区垫底的原因之一。在这篇文章中,本文将总结出四种Part 2描述题的拓展策略。
策略一:WH细节描述法
当考生在面对话题无从下手时,可以利用 ”WH Questions”来引导思路的拓展,包括 “what, when, where, who(whom), why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。
例如,Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先须明确what(the Bookworm),when(some five years ago), where (down the south of Chengdu),who(foreigners for most of time);其次是整个描述的重点why(comfortable, pleasant, intimate ),how exactly (detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, and intimate),how often(once a month…),how much(30-40 yuan on average per person),how many(3 in Whole China)。
但是,在此提醒考生,在回答中,不可机械地按照每一个WH来作答,否则描述同样会非常死板乏味,即需要灵活自然过渡每一个WH。
Sample answer:The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancy cafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5 years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partner and co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm. During these years, it’s been popular and welcomed by almost every foreigner in Chengdu. I guess it’s probably because the cafe is really the place that can make them feel at home, ranging from the food, coffee, inside decoration, and those books written and published from their country。
The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customers home style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or at work, having a rest at Bookworm will be the very pleasant thing to chill out. The greatest part is the live music every Friday night at which you can enjoy the best jazz and blues. There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has the first, and Chengdu and Suzhou follow the step, therefore if you‘re taking a trip to Beijing or Suzhou, you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nice little cafe. I like the cafe, for it’s the place where I can relax, eat, drink, read and enjoy music。
策略二:举例支撑法
在Part 2话题描述中,如果仅有描述,仍会让整个陈述略显有些平淡,建议考生在描述的同时加上相应的例子,这样可以大大增加描述内容的丰富性和生动性。但是, 在Part 2里例子,并不一定要非常正式的举例,如“For example”;口语化的一些表达方式会更自然一些,如“such as,like”。比如,”Describe a special shop”,除了描述这个shop里有一些special goods外,若再具体举例说明有哪些特殊商品可以更能增强生动性。In the shop, you can always find some special and interesting stuff, such as hand-made floating lantern, photo books, tiny china pot, and Nepali jewelries and things like that。
策略三:数据支撑法
Part 2话题属于细节描述题,在适当的时候如果能够使用数据来进一步支撑描述,可以增强话题描述的真实性和说服力。但是,建议考生在使用数据的时候不要太过夸张数字,而且频率不应过多,使用一次数据就可以了。另外,与雅思写作有别的是,在写作中引用数据时最好有个出处或来源,但在回答口语Part 2问题时,这个出处可以省略,否则会导致回答内容是背诵的嫌疑,降低真实性,这就与我们的初衷背道相驰了。
比如“Describe a concert hall”,我们可以通过数据的支撑来这样描述“The Civil Concert Hall holds about 50 to 60 shows on an average each year, receiving almost 30,000 audiences, and part of them come to this hall simply because of its comfortable seats and great sound and lighting effects. ”有了数据的支撑,可以使我们对音乐厅的规模和条件有个更直观的了解,而不是简单地描述“the concert hall is very popular and well-equipped。”
策略四:比较对照法
1-2分钟的描述中,除了单方面地进行描述外,可以通过描述同类事物进行比较的方式来使内容更加全面细致。但是,这个部分毕竟是口语考试,所以选用的比较类的词语应为口语化的连接词,“unlike,similar,like,be different from”等。
例如“Describe a magazine”,我们这样来描述:The magazine I’ve been reading recently is O2 (Oxygen Magazine), which mainly covers good books, movies, music, and life design as well as eco protection are the key topics throughout the whole magazine. Unlike the normal magazines, you cannot find any company’s advertisement on it. Another thing makes it different from the ordinary ones is that it uses recycled paper, and that’s what it’s aimed since it was born. 通过对比的方式,可以令考官加深对描述的印象,也丰富了枯燥话题的陈述内容。
雅思口语考试形式是什么样的
雅思口语考试形式依次分三部分。第一部分:一般问答;第二部分:主题卡片陈述;第三部分:深入讨论。每部分考试时间为4-5分钟,三个部分总共10-15分钟。
第一部分:一般问答
当考生进入考场(有两种:小教室和小办公室),再简单的问候之后这一部分便开始了。通常,这一部分会涉及包含人名在内的四个话题,例如:人名,家乡,教育或职业背景,空闲生活。时间也通常在4-5分钟之内。问题量也通常在9-15题左右。这就意味着,每道题的最理想回答时长应该在20-30秒之间,通常也就是2-4句话。
其间,考官的主要目的不是在测量学生的英语口语水平有多高,而更主要的的是帮助考生放松并开始试着讲英文。也就是说,这一部分表现得好坏不会对总体成绩有太大的影响。即使这一部分讲得很糟糕,仍然有的高分的机会。然而这也不是说,这一部分就无足轻重。考生必须清楚,在这一部分,考官已经在考虑该考生是什么样的英文水平以及适合得几分了。
第二部分:主题卡片陈述
在这一部分,考官会递给考生一张主题卡片,卡片上附有问题和相关观点。拿到卡片后,考生有一分钟时间准备,同时可以在提供的草纸上作笔记(不可以拿出考场)。
然后,考生应该就所给的话题作出1-2分钟的陈述。回答不可以太长,也不可以太短。太短则欠缺内容,是考官认为该学生不具备英文分析描述的能力。太长则容易被考官打断,使其认为该考生不能抓住重点或者有背诵之嫌。
注意,在考生陈述结束之后,考官可能会在附加提出1-2问题(也可能没有),但是不会对第二部分成绩有太大影响。此时,考生没必要过多重复已经讲过的内容。回答要简洁,切题,明了。
第三部分:深入讨论
该部分是考官会就第二部分所讨论的主题再提出一些较抽象,总结,概括性的问题,以综合考察考生的分析,对比,解释和阐述的能力。此部分总体时间为4-5分钟。
在这一部分,问题数量取决于回答的长短。然而,由于此部分考生要处理一些较抽象或概括的问题,并且要综合运用多种英文能力,每个问题的理想长度应为1分钟左右。同时注意,不要走得太深,扯得太远,一定要切题,否则只能是考官难以把握你所讲述的重点。
在雅思备考中 雅思口语考试要怎么准备
为什么雅思口语会成为中国学生的最大“软肋”?原因主要有二:一是学校日常英语教学中忽视口语练习;二是雅思口语备考,很难找到适合的复习切入点,导致考生走了很多弯路。那么雅思口语该怎么复习呢?
第一、跟读
模仿是打好口语基础的最初的过程,而口语模仿的最基本方法就是跟读,跟读可以养成地道的发音以及良好的英语语感。
跟读的目的是纠正自己的语音语调以及提高组织句法能力。发音是评分标准的大头,至于句法的模仿,是建立在良好词汇的基础上的,要慢慢适应西方的思维表达方式,这是一个潜移默化的过程。至于整体的语调,就是语感的体现,并没有固定的套路,随着跟读的量增加,语感自然是越来越好的。
第二、复述
跟读到了一定量,就不用再继续了,应该转而挑战练习复述。可以以背诵雅思各类范文为起点,不但积累了单词和句法,还能培养语感,甚至可以用到雅思口语的PART2中去。不过,背诵的内容应该是由短到长,由浅到深的一个过程。背前要跟着音频熟读掌握语音语调,这样才能最大限度的挖掘背诵的潜力。
但背诵毕竟只是初级阶段,真正的复述是要能够灵活运用词汇进行替换,用各种不同的词汇、不同的语法表达一个意思。
在雅思口语考试中,很多考生都会遇到无话可说的尴尬状况。这会直接影响考官的评分印象,导致自身口语能力无法完全展示。要取高分就要有新意,拓展性思维训练可以帮考生在答题中增加亮点。
有两个拓展思路的方法
A. 既要多角度,又要全面
雅思口语考试中,考生常犯思考角度单一,内容不丰富的毛病。其实答题要从多角度思考,还要合理。需要先直接给明确答案,保证考官了解你已经领会了问题的用意。
B. 有逻辑地“秀”一下
要学会主动性拓展答题,不要只回答考官提问,在考官问题基础上自己增加信息量。灵活套用自问自答方式,把所需回答内容的关键信息,连同发散开来的信息一起传达给考官。切记,内容拼凑要合理完整,不要胡编乱造,没有逻辑性。另外,需要注意的是掌握适度原则,否则也可能被认定偏题。
如果在雅思考试中,考生发现谈到的问题自己熟悉,可以采用积极答题方式。表述中灵活加入想法,找生动例子让内容丰富和个性化。
第三、原创
这里介绍三大个性化答题方式
A. 好“反向”、“迂回”思维
反向思维,出其不意,要出现大部分人想不到的事物,让考官产生新鲜感。只有做到特别,才能拿高分。另外,迂回思维,通过多角度、多层次回答问题,达到准确。
B. 学说谚语再幽默点
既想言简意赅,又想有亮点,用谚语是最有效的办法。英语谚语流传非常广,大家平时要多积累,考试中用上一两句效果会非常好。还要记得发挥一些想象力,多运用幽默。
C. 带入个人理解
学会以小见大,把个人想法、感受升华到更高层次的境界,提高通篇的思想。如果把握不好主题较宽或难度大的题目,可以从个人情感点切入,把问题简单化。
雅思口语范文:An English Class
简单版:
The English lesson that left me a deep impression( 让我印象深刻)was taught by my junior high-school teacher, Miss Wang. One day she came into the class with a bag of things in her hand. I was curious about what they were and Miss wang said “it’s a surprise!” That really made me more interested. Later she told the class that we were going to learn how to order meals in English. First she showed pictures of tasty food and played a video of a person ordering steak. From the video, I learned lots of natural expressions (自然的表达), and even better, I got to know some western table manners, like you have to put your napkin on your lap before you eat the steak, and place fork in your left hand and hold the knife in your right hand. The best part was that we had a role-playing game. My teacher Miss wang first divided the class into pairs, gave us some food as realia (课堂教具), and provided some sentences and dialogues for us to practice. Everything went on smoothly and effectively. It was definitely one of the best English lessons I’ve ever had.
升级版:
I have had many English lessons throughout my academic years, and the most impressive one was taught by my junior high-school English teacher, _. It was a Friday morning; she came into the class, holding her teaching materials and carrying a huge bag of things. When wondering what they were, I was told that it’s gonna be a surprise for the class. That really held my attention (让我兴致盎然).
Shortly afterwards, she said to the class“today, we are going to learn how to order a menu in english” On hearing that,I was like “wow, is she going to treat us to some delicacies(请我们吃美味佳肴)? That would be amazing!” Then basically, she showed some pictures of tantalizing food on her power-point, and engaged students to discuss what they prefer to eat and why. Every one looked so intrigued and was eager to talk. In a while she played a video of a person ordering a menu in a steak house. Through watching that clip(片段), not only did I learn some authentic restaurant vocabulary and expressions (地道的用餐词汇和表达), but also I got aware ofwesterndining etiquette(西方用餐礼仪). I have to say that lesson was really well-planned(精心设计的). But that’s not all. What fascinated me most was the food she brought to the class. Believe it or not, those things in the bag were mini steaks! Hardly can you imagine how much she must have spent on them. The final activity was a role-playing game: students working in pairs, one plays the role of a waiter and the other a customer. I was lucky enough to the customer and try the steak.It was like a taste of heaven(太美味了!), so tender and fresh.
All in all, this lesson was definitely something unforgettable. It was about English, but also about culture and communication. Totally student-focused(以学生为中心)!
