雅思口语Part2话题卡每个都要准备吗?然而事实并非如此
雅思口语Part2题库里面的题目数量繁多,如果每个都要准备的话必将投入大量的时间和精力,然而,雅思口语在复习的时候其实并非每道题目都要过一遍的,很多题目都是类似相通的,本文为大家带来高效的备考方法,详见本文。
雅思口语Part2话题卡每个都要准备吗?然而事实并非如此
一.主场话题可“大串”
首先,“大串”指备考雅思的同学要准备一个主场话题。主场话题指你个人最擅长的一个话题,最喜欢说的一个话题。相对而言,也是英文表达方法储备得比较详尽的一个话题。
比如有同学喜欢篮球,篮球相关表达:三分、跳投、罚篮这些概念的英文说法一定要会,篮球就可能成为你雅思口语的主场话题。2015年雅思考试就考过描述一个有用的网站(describe a useful website you often visit),同学就可以说篮球网站;或者描述一个教育性的电视节目,说一个篮球课的节目也可以;再比如明星,我可以在篮球的这个范围内找一个体育明星。
所以带着这样一个思路可以发现雅思口语很多part2的话题卡都可以串起来。50张左右的话题卡可以串起成为你的主场。主场话题,可以是兴趣爱好,比如有同学自诩吃货,那食材、烹饪方法的相关描述就需要准备详尽。还有同学喜欢旅游、时尚、电子竞技等等,都可以。
但提醒同学们在雅思口语考试中尽量不要用自己的专业作为主场话题,因为part1中可能问到专业,提到这一问题后,part2相关问题再重复说,可能并不会取得一个特别好的效果。
二.共用语材可“小串”
雅思口语话题那么多,同学们会发现总有主场话题涵盖不了的,这时候我们可以尝试共用语材,即“小串”。“小串”即非主场可以彼此串联。
2015年雅思口语考题中有一道描述一次迷路的经历,还有一道让你描述想再来一次的短途旅行,还有一张卡是让你描述一个惊喜。其实,看到这几张卡的时候,未必考虑把它全都串到主场里,甚至有些话题,可能串到我的主场里面会非常牵强。但他们彼此之间可以关联。
比如,短途旅行中可能迷路,迷路后可能走到一个非常美的地方,见到美丽的景色,这又成为一个惊喜。面对这样的惊喜你希望再做一次短途旅行。这样三张卡,准备一个素材就够了。
三.大小串外需打补丁
面对个别话题,“大串”和“小串”都拼不到一起,这样的雅思口语题目需要“打补丁”。通常补丁话题的数量应该不会超过10个。
如何解决雅思口语Part 2“串”题卡的问题
每年的1,5,9月份“雅思口语换题季”时都有很多同学对口语新题头痛不已,觉得之前准备的都没用了,又得“一换回到解放前”了。面对Part 1的新题还可以自己“胡诌八扯”一下,但是碰到新的Part 2题卡就显得毫无头绪,“两眼一抹黑”了。其实,很多口语Part 2题卡的思路都是可以串用的,之前准备过的题卡思路或答案也是可以转换到新题卡上的,下面就让我们来看看怎么转换Part 2题卡答案。
雅思口语Part 2题目当中有一道题目是:
Describe a decision that made by others that you disagreed with.
You should say:
What the decision was
How it was made
What you disagreed with
And explain why you disagreed with it
题目的意思是让大家描述一个“你不同意的别人做的决定”,大家看到这个题卡时,是不是感到很眼熟?没错,这个题卡跟我们去年出现的“Describe a difficult decision you made.(你做的一个困难的决定)”很相似,只是题干和要求有点不同。
去年出现的题目原题是:
Describe a difficult decision you made.
You should say:
What the decision was about
How you made your decision
What the results of the decision were
And explain why it was difficult to make
两道题目都是“决定”,一个是“你不同意的决定”,另一个是“你做的决定”,换句话说,是“你同意的决定”,乍一看是完全相反,“八竿子打不着”的两道题目,但是仔细分析一下就会发现两者的共通点。
我们回想一下,去年大家准备“你做的决定”的时候,很多同学的思路是“要不要出国留学”,“要不要换工作”,“假期到底干嘛好”之类的让自己“两难”的决定。就以“要不要出国留学”这个答案来说吧,让自己“两难”的原因一般都是因为有一个跟自己唱反调的人来反对自己,才会需要自己经过“深思熟虑彻夜难眠冥思苦想各种权衡”之后才做的决定,那么大家要做的事,就是要解释为什么这个决定这么难了,其实就是分析一下在国内呆着和出国深造分别的利弊。同理,“别人做的决定”可以是让我出国留学(一般是父母的决定),“我不同意”的理由肯定是出国留学有利弊了。我们先来看看出国留学的pros and cons。
出国的好处常见的大概是以下几点:
1. be able to see the world = to travel widely and gain wide experience
2. have the chance to experience different styles of education
3. improve our language skills
4. bring out your independent nature
留在国内深造的好处(不出国留学的原因)也有很多,比如:
1. don’t need to be far away from your family
2. don’t have to spend all your parents’ savings on tuition
3. don’t have to face the challenge of studying difficult courses in a second language
4. be able to fit in with schoolmates and professors in college much easier and quicker
5. be less likely to feel lonely and helpless because your family and friends are only a cheap flight-ticket away
阐明利弊,同学们的思路是不是就比较明确呢?这不仅仅是一个让你深思熟虑“做的决定”,同时,也可以是“你不同意的别人做的决定”(父母觉得出国留学好,你不同意),而且我们可以顺便把别的Part 2题卡如“Describe an important talk”也一起搞定,因为这么重要的决定,肯定是要跟家人朋友好好商量,总结起来,我们就可以在之前准备的这个Part 2答案上稍微修改一下,回答可以这么说(粗体和下划线部分是针对不同题目的修改部分):
Well, a decision that made by others that I disagreed with/the most difficult decision I’ve ever made was whether or not I should study abroad next year. / Well, the most important talk I had so far was with my parents about whether or not I should study abroad next year.
In the recent couple of years, there’s this growing tendency among high school graduates to embark on a study abroad program. My parents wanted me to/I’ve always wanted to do the same, because it’s a good opportunity to see the world, to experience different styles education, and to improve my language skills. And for a girl who has never been far away from home, studying in a foreign country might bring out my independent nature.
But I totally disagreed with their decision. /I need to give it some careful thought before I could make the decision. I told my parents who are both open-minded about my opinions, and pointed out some disadvantages of studying overseas.
I told my mother that being in a new place by myself could be overwhelming sometimes, and it tests my ability to adapt to diverse situations. And it’s highly possible that I would feel lonely and helpless every so often, because all of my close friends and family members are on the other side of the world. I would be completely on my own, and basically everything I took for granted in the past would then be a challenge, like paying bills, opening bank accounts, communicating with fellow students, and the list goes on and on.
All of a sudden, my parents/I felt stuck. All those challenges sounded terrifying, but they really didn’t want me /I really didn’t want to give up the opportunity. They suggested me to weigh up /I weighed up the pros and cons carefully, and after some serious consideration, I finally disagreed with them. /I finally made up my mind. / I believe this talk really means a lot.
从上面的例子大家可以发现,只要列出“决定”的pros and cons, 不管是自己同意的也好,自己不同意的也罢,最终答案都是“有理有据”的,然后再根据题目细节的不同,改编一下衔接的句子,时刻“扣题”,不要跑题,那么很多貌似“毫无头绪”的Part 2新题都“迎刃而解”了。仔细回忆一下,今天讨论的这个“Describe a decision that made by others that you disagreed with”不仅和之前的“Describe a difficult decision you made”相似,和“Describe an important talk”雷同,也和之前出现过的“Describe an advice from others”和“Describe a future plan”都有异曲同工之妙。所以同学们在准备Part 2的时候,不妨大胆展开思路,双向思考一下同一个问题的好与坏,这样准备充分了,就不怕遇到“无话可说”的情形了。
