雅思口语音乐类话题解析之最喜爱的歌手

朗阁海外考试研究中心

徐晓青

关于音乐的话题，一直以来在雅思口语试题中都占有一席之地。从Part 1中考察考生“最喜爱的音乐类型”、“小时候听过的歌曲”，到Part 2当前的考题“最喜爱的歌手或者乐队”，都对考生就音乐领域的专业词汇表达，例如：歌手风格、曲风、歌曲元素等进行了相对抽象的考察。在本文中，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家将为大家解析音乐类话题的答题秘籍。

根据实际课堂反馈得出，许多学生当被问到喜欢什么类型的歌曲时，往往最常见的答案就是pop music。这其中，还有相当一部分学生会将流行音乐误以为是popular music。虽然大多数情况下，pop和popular是可以通用的，但当表示音乐类型的时候，这是两个截然不同的概念。popular作为形容词的时候表达的含义是“流行的”，所以popular music表达的“流行音乐”体裁不限，范围更广，例如：R&B, Rock, Hip-hop, Pop等。而单纯的pop music则指的是以歌颂爱情为主题，主打年轻人为市场，结合各种乐器碰撞出来的混合效果的音乐。所以，足以见得，pop music是属于popular music中的一种。

当然，需要提醒广大考生们注意的是，考官的耳朵已经开始疲惫了，所以这些“大众”答案已经不能让你脱颖而出了。关于音乐种类，光光知道一个pop music是远远不够的。最好，考生在全面了解各种音乐种类的同时，还能熟悉各种类型相应的代表歌手及代表曲目。下面，笔者将为考生们整理出一些主流的相关词汇表达：

1.classical music古典音乐。在朗文字典上的解释为music that people consider serious and that has been popular for a long time。而classical music在狭义上指的是海顿(Haydn)、贝多芬(Beethoven)、莫扎特(Mozart)为主流的古典乐派的音乐。

2.country music乡村音乐，是一种具有美国民族特色的音乐。这种音乐曲调简单，节奏平稳，具有叙事性。该类型音乐的代表人物为被许多年轻人追捧的美国小甜妞Taylor Swift。代表曲目Love story和You belong with me。

3.pop music 流行音乐，是广受年轻人追捧的一种音乐类型。代表歌手有台湾的Jay Chou（周杰伦）、香港的Andy Lau（刘德华）、美国的lady gaga等。值得注意的是，许多考生也许并不清楚所有歌手的英文名，在考试中提到这些歌手的时候，往往用的仍然是中文名，这会让考官产生恍惚感，也许很难与考生产生共鸣。所以，在考前做足功课去了解歌星的英文名也是相当有必要的。

4.Rock and Roll摇滚乐。中国摇滚的第一声音为歌手崔健的《一无所有》。不过，如果考生想和考官聊到摇滚乐，建议考生们选择国外的代表性乐团和作品，因为过于中国化的东西并不能和考官产生共鸣。相反，如果聊到Beetles（披头士乐队）的Hey Jude，这首曾出现在伦敦奥运会上的歌的话，效果就会截然不同。

接下来，我们一起来看看当前关于“音乐”方面的考题：

Describe a popular music band or a singer in your country.You should say: What it first became popular What style of music it perform Who(what kind of people)like this band or singer And explain why you think they are popular

分析：该话题考察学生描述一个最喜爱的歌手或乐队，该话题与人物类话题交叉，不仅涉及到音乐的内容，在描述歌手的同时，最好也要涉及人物的形象介绍。在教学实践中，曾经有考生提出，在叙述一名歌手时，往往想要提到他的代表曲目，而在考场上又一时想不起来怎么表达歌名，或者比较纠结自己翻译的歌曲名称和官网发布的不一致怎么办？

针对歌名翻译的问题，首先要肯定的是，在考场上用中文描述歌名肯定是行不通的。考生一方面是要在考前针对话题做好充足的准备，如果一时兴起想要表达突发奇想的答案时，也不要慌，尽自己的努力去把歌名用地道的英语翻译一下。即使官方不是这么翻译的也没有关系，因为往往中文歌曲考官本来就了解不多。其实歌名本不重要，重点是歌曲内容及其特色上的语言表达才是与考官产生共鸣的取胜之道。

下面是针对上述考题的范文，供广大考生们参考：

When it comes to a popular singer in my country, I’d like to say a few words on a female singer called G.E.M.Actually, she’s born in Shanghai and immigrated to Hong Kong when she was 4 years old.She began to compose and create songs when she was just 5.At the year of 17, she won the award of “New Force Female Singer”.She was the first one who won this prize that under 18.This year, she attended a TV show called “I am a singer” and won the second place of finals.At that period of time, she became a household name in China.Her musical style is full of change and excitement.Her songs include soft Rock, rap, lyric, Broadway.Therefore, she was regarded as an “almighty goddess”.Due to the TV show, lots of young people become the crazy fan of her.People became familiar with her representative works like “what have you done”, “ The rose”, and “ The foam”.Her excellence in singing field has been recognized by the public, I suppose that why she’s so popular in China.

第二篇：雅思口语季节类话题（本站推荐）

季节和天气一直是雅思口语的传统话题。在第一部分几乎是每次必考，虽然这类卡片在第二部分的出现率不是非常高，但也会不时突袭。从另一个角度来说，季节和天气的谈论可以贯穿到很多考题之中去论述。比如应对关于体育运动的卡片时，我们也可以略带描述一下做该运动的适宜天气。上海环球雅思口语老师带来关于雅思口语季节类话题。

最近口语机经中也考到了季节的一道题目

Describe your favourite season or time of the year.You should say:

what season(or time of the year)it is

what the weather is like at this time

what you usually do at this time

and explain why you enjoy that season or time of the year.在回答这个问题时，除了上面介绍的各个季节的特点，还可以加一些描述性句子。

例如, A typical Chinese winter would around __ months between ___ and ____.The reason I’ve chosen winter as my favorite season is because I like ______.先从天气的季节开始 — spring, summer, autumn, and winter.谈到春天，大家想到的是一幅万物复苏，花开草绿的美丽景色，那怎么用英语来表达呢? 万物复苏--everything comes back to life.花开草绿-flowers are blooming and trees turn green, the scenery is very spectacular.我们还可以说到春日里温暖的阳光: It’s warm enough to sit outside in the sunshine.谈到夏天，大家首先想到的是热-hot.除了hot 之外我们可以用 unbearable hot, scorching(灼热的)来表达难以形容之热。夏天可以不用像冬天一样穿一层层的衣服(layers of clothes), 可以穿一些简单的 shorts and T-shirt.更好的是夏天人们可以参加很多的户外活动 – there are more things to do in summer, such as going to beach, amusement parks, have barbecue parties.It’s so energetic and vibrant.秋天给人的印象是美丽的落叶。In autumn, the leaves fall off the trees/the leaves begin to change color, transforming landscape into an array of autumn colors.另外谈到秋天我们还想到的是秋高气爽的天气，秋高气爽我们可以简答得表达为 “the sky is crystal clear”.大家还知道秋天是收获的季节，“Autumn is also the season of harvest “.既不太热也不太冷，气温很适宜，让人感到很舒服，”It’s neither too hot nor too cold.The temperature is mild and pleasant, making people feel comfortable”.很多同学喜欢冬天的原因是因为冬天有美丽的雪景，用英文表达即是: It often snows;we have periods of quite heavy snowball.Last winter I remember looking out of the window one morning and seeing everything covered in a layer of white.冬天天气很冷(freezing cold), 天气经常在零度以下 During those really wintry months, the temperature drops below zero.另外很多重要的节日在冬季，例如 Christmas, spring new year.

第三篇：雅思口语话题：电影类

环球雅思口语老师给大家带来关于电影类的口语范文一篇，大家可以练习起来囖～ Do you like watching movies? / How often do you go to the cinema?

Definitely, watching movies is my cup of tea.You know, I'm always busy in studying.But I will go to the cinema as often as possible, maybe once every other week because it is one of my favourite ways to relax.I believe films are a wonderful form of art.Many of my friends have the same habit, so we always go to Wanda International Cinema on weekends together, which I think is the best cinema in Beijing.Why do you like to watch films?

Firstly, I think watching films is a good way to relax.You know, when watching a film, I will throw all of my emotion to the story so that I can forget nearly everything about myself, especially the troubles.Also, I can learn many things from the roles in films, for example, I learned how to join forces to fight again devil from my favourite movie.Do you like to watch films in the cinema or at home?

I prefer watching films in the cinema, absolutely.You know, the atmosphere and the sound effect are prefect in the cinema, which you cannot feel at home, facing a small screen, especially for scientific and horror.So you can understand the story and the roles' emotion better, also you are able to learn more from the films.What kind of films do you like?

I love fancy film the most.They are full of magic, imagination and creativity.I believe only imagination can make our real life more colorful.My favorite movie is , which is typical of this kind of movies.I admire J.K.Rowling, the producer of it;I really wonder how those wonderful ideas came from her head!

Who is your favorite movie star?

My favorite movie star is Yang Ziqiong, who is very famous not only in China but also in Hollywood.She is one of the earliest actresses accepted by Hollywood and became popular in the world.She's good at martial arts.She's not very beautiful but her kongfu is really amazing, quick, clear-cut and powerful.I think she's the proud of China, not only for her position in Hollywood, but also because she spread Chinese traditional kongfu in the world.What's the difference between American films and Chinese films?

I think the biggest difference lies in the purpose of the film, result from the level of freedom.You know, most of Chinese films just describe an ordinary story and focus on teaching the audience some principles, because the government controls the contents of films stringently.But because of freedom, the purpose of most American films is to give audience an impressive shock, and then earn enormous profits.

第四篇：解析雅思口语地点类话题四大类

解析雅思口语地点类话题四大类

朗阁雅思考试研究中心

在雅思口语考试中，作为话题描述的Part 2部分，有很多考生都会产生恐惧心理的。这其中的原因不仅是因为这部分的考试内容都是由考生一个人陈述完成，考官在大多时候是扮演一个聆听者的角色，基本上不会和考生没有太多对话交流，基本上就是老师听，学生自己陈述的情况，很多考生在这部分就会遇到一些瓶颈，考生容易由于紧张而考试状态欠佳，没有办法发挥他们应该有的一些水平，从而导致整个口语考试的严重失分。所以在Part 2中，我们必须掌握好每一个部分细节，通过众多老师专家和学生的实践，分析得出地点类是这个部分必考的一个内容，所以大家千万一定要重视起来，多加练习，以保证我们在这部分的考试中正常发挥。虽然这个题在整体的考试中分数占比并不是很大，但是朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家建议考生们在备考过程中必须要认真准备这一类话题。

在2012年上半年的考试中，全球各考点经常出现的地点类考题如下：

1、Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit

2、Describe an interesting shop

3、Describe a workplace

4、Describe a hotel/restaurant

5、Describe a historic site

6、Describe a nature beauty

7、Describe your ideal house

8、Describe a park/garden

9、Describe a special street

10、Describe a river/lake

11、Describe a place near the water

在日常的教学过程中，我们会发现同学们在口语考试中之所以觉得无言以对主要有以下几点原因：1.考生对该话题缺少熟悉度；2.考生对该话题的理解容易造成偏差；3.话题本身相

对抽象。而雅思口语考试的地点类考题中可能会涉及到一些考生们没有去过的地方，或者是去过了但是没有特别深刻的印象，而这些原因会导致考生们对地点类的某些话题产生害怕的心理，从而在考试过程中无话可说，或者越说越偏，找不到重点，让考官听不到所期待的内容，于是分数也上不去。下面朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家将为考生们支招，和考生们探讨一下地点类话题的难点和其应对方法。我们对所有的地点类考题进行分类，从地点的大小和地点的类别，2012年上半年常考的考题可以分成四类：

I.相对较大的地点

Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit Describe a place near the water Describe a river/lake 在这一类地点题中考到了foreign city/ country, 并且还出现了a place near the water, 所以朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家建议各位考生可以准备一个靠近海的外国城市，这样就能成功应对两个考察相对较大地点的考题了，像悉尼，墨尔本，洛杉矶，马尔代夫……都是很好的选择。该考题的原题如下：

Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit You should say:

Which city/country it is

How you know this city/country

Who you would like to go with and explain why you like to travel there 这道题目其实是一道常规考题，只是对城市的考察加了特定的限定词，国外的城市，这道题目的难点在于很多考生可能没有去过，所以心里没有底，于是在考试中会觉得无话可说，各位考生可以多搜集一些资料，准备好相关背景知识，自然能够轻松应对。对城市的描写可以从地理位置，特点以及你对该城市的感受着手，组织好语言，自然高分不难。并且考生们可以增加对海景的描述，从而当考到a place near the water时也可以顺利的进行转化。

而river/lake这一题目，各位考生可以选择有特色的江、河或者是湖泊，比如说西湖，除了可以描述它秀美的风光，还可以把白蛇传的故事插入进去，就更加引人入胜。

II.稍小一点的地点

Describe a park/garden Describe a special street 在稍小一点的地点中，park/garden是让广大考生头疼的一道考题，原题如下： Describe a park or a garden You should say:

What the park is called

Where the park is located

What features the park has and explain why you love the park or the garden 这道题目的难点在于要描述一个公园，除了简单带出公园中的风景和娱乐设施，还要描述公园中的一些特色，建议考生在介绍普通的公园之外，还可以准备一些主题公园，比如说Disneyland, 首先各位考生可以从地理位置上进行简单的介绍，可以选择全球任意一处Disneyland进行描述，无论是否去过，背景资料的搜集工作一定要做足，比如说它的来历：

Disney World and Disneyland Two theme parks built by the Walt Disney Co.(see Disney Co.), a U.S.corporation that became the best-known 20th-century purveyor of entertainment.Disneyland, an interactive, family-oriented fantasy environment that opened in Anaheim, Calif., in 1955, was Walt Disney's response to typical amusement parks, which entertained children but not their parents.The park, which has architecture that is a blend of futurism and nostalgic 19th-century reproductions, has different sections devoted to specific themes.Walt Disney World opened near Orlando, Fla., in 1971.Besides containing Epcot Center(an idealized city), Disney-MGM Studios, and the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom theme parks, Disney World was the first amusement park to incorporate hotels(including two designed by Michael Graves)and sports and other recreational facilities into its master plan.相关的资料各位考生可以自己进行搜集和整理。而special street这一题目，各位考生可以选择用一条街来烘托出整个城市的特色，每个城市都有一些有特色的街道，来自各个城市的考生都应该有自己独特的材料来说。

III.建筑物类

Describe an interesting shop Describe a workplace Describe a hotel/restaurant Describe your ideal house 在建筑物的话题中，考生们往往只能根据题目作出简单的回答，之后便无话可说。这一方面是因为许多考生与建筑相关的知识和词汇积累非常有限，没有可以表达的内容；更重要的一方面则是许多学生受到表达能力的限制，无法迅速的进行paraphrasing, 因此回答起来张口结舌，极大地影响了个人的考试表现。hotel/restaurant这个经典考题从08年至今一直活跃在雅思口语的考场中，原题如下： Describe a hotel/restaurant You should say:

Where the hotel/restaurant is

What the hotel/restaurant is famous for

What you can enjoy at the hotel/restaurant and explain why you often go to this hotel/restaurant 在对此类建筑话题进行描述时，往往要求考生描述以下方面：建筑所在地点(where), 参观此建筑的时间(when)/多久去一次(how long), 参与的人(who), 以及为什么喜欢/不喜欢这个建筑(why)。这种类型的问题对大多数考生来说都比较简单，只需把重点放在喜欢或者不喜欢的原因即可，学生很容易找到相关思路并且做出清晰流畅的回答。而对于特定的建筑物而言，朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家提醒同学们要注意，需要重点描述的是为什么在这么多的图书馆、餐馆、博物馆、宾馆、建筑物中，你不选择其他作为描述对象，而偏偏选择这个，也就是说这个地点或描述对象本身具有较多的特征或特别之处，才值得一提，所以，在选择对象的时候，要注意一些其自身的特色，以及可以提一下在此建筑物中的经历。

IV.景点类

Describe a historic site Describe a nature beauty 在景点类考题中，考生们在备考中要准备一个人文景观（historic site）和一个自然景观（nature beauty），自然景观可以参照城市类的考题进行准备，而A Historic Site这个考题

考生们可能不太熟悉，题目如下： Describe an interesting historic site You should say: where it was what you saw at this site(or, what it looked like)what role it played in history and explain what interested you about that place 这道题的难点在于对于历史建筑的描述，在强调它的历史作用时多少会涉及到历史知识以及一些专有名词的表达。而不管各位考生是选择中国的还是国外的历史建筑，鉴于平日里谈论得极少，考试前没有足够的准备就很难开口。所以各位考生在考前可以结合其它描述地点或建筑的话题一起准备：Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等，例如北京故宫里的建筑，即是古老而传统的建筑，又是很重要的博物馆，也可以是自己最喜欢的建筑。不过故宫和颐和园之类的话题考官已经听过太多了，所以考生们可以参照类似的例文，跟考官描述一个当地的著名历史建筑，例如长沙的岳麓书院，杭州的雷锋塔，南京的明孝陵之类的，提前做好充足的功课，搜集相关的背景知识，遇到其它问题也都可以迎刃而解。Sample: Well, you know, China is a country with a long history, and I have visited some of those historical places.Here I would like to talk about one of them-the “Summer Palace”.To be frank, it is too hard for me to describe this famous historical place in only one or two minutes.I will just give you a brief introduction of Summer Palace.It was built in 1764, located in west of Beijing, far from the city center.It was known as the biggest Royal Garden.There are a large quantity of trees and flowers.The long corridors, pavilions together with the lake make a marvelous landscape.It has been destroyed for several times.After 1949, our government rebuilt it and protected it well.Now it is a famous historical place in the world heritage list.I think it is worthy to take visit there.而nature beauty这一考题，各位考生可以和上面提及到的a foreign country/city以及river/lake进行转换，是非常容易答题的。

口语Part 2话题中地点类话题其实是较为固定的，从08年至今出现过的地点类相关话题大致是一样的，所以同学们根据机经题库中现有的话题以及所在考点三个月内出现的相关考题进行准备和复习，在考试中必定能轻松应对地点类话题。

第五篇：雅思口语必备话题之媒体类

媒体类（Media）是雅思口语话题的常见考题之一，书籍、电影、电视节目等都是三部分可能会考到的内容，所以建议烤鸭们在考前要对于这部分内容有一个大致的了解。基本词汇：

Book

爱情小说 love story科幻小说 science fiction连环画 comic book

人物传记 biography侦探小说 detective story童话故事 fairytale(Green’s;Andersen’s)

校园小说 campus novel网络小说 online novel寓言故事 fable Magazine

时尚美容杂志 beauty and fashion magazine体育杂志 sports magazine文学杂志 literary magazine

娱乐杂志 entertainment magazine汽车杂志 car magazine女性杂志 women’s magazine Film

喜剧 comedy爱情片 romantic movie恐怖片 horror movie

悲剧 tragedy动作片 action movie灾难片 disaster movie

动画片 animation纪录片 documentary战争片 war movie

历史剧 historical movie文艺片 literary film儿童电影 children's film

教育电影 educational film贺岁片 new year film

常见题目：

1)A book you enjoyed as a child

2)An educational TV program;a TV program you didn’t like

3)A website you like

4)A magazine or newspaper you like

范例：

网站(a website)

Well, the first website comes into my mind is Moonbasa.It is one of the most famous shopping websites among young ladies in China.It’s not the first shopping website I’ve ever visited, but it is the one I most frequently visit now.Last Christmas I received an e-mail from my best friend.She suggested that I visit Moonbasa where there would be a big promotion during the holiday.Since then, Moonbasa becomes my favourite shopping paradise.As a matter of fact, it is a good way to relax after work by browsing all kinds of goods on the website.It’s really useful for me, because it not only includes clothes suitable for office ladies like me, but also some shoes and undergarment in good quality.However, their prices are much lower than those in big shopping malls.Honestly, I am unwilling to spend a weekend doing shopping in crowded shops.I would rather stay home to click my mouse to choose what I want on Moonbasa.Most importantly, I can return the goods I buy on Moonbasa in 30 days without any reasons.分析：

A website其实是今天烤鸭们雅思口语考试题目回忆之一。而这篇范例就是写“梦芭莎”，一个著名的购物网站。内容包括：浏览该网站的频率，开始访问该网站的原因，网站上有哪些内容，可以得到哪方面的信息，以及自己为什么喜欢或者使用这个网站。考生们在叙说的时候，注意逻辑顺序和连接词的使用。
