第一篇: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:雅思口语part1姓名类话题
雅思口语part1姓名类话题
雅思口语part1姓名类话题是雅思口语中必考的话题之一。所以考生们需要对其深入了解。即使在雅思口语备考的过程中,考生基本上都会接触这类话题,但总是会因为其比较简单而忽视,从而导致口语考试开场便失利。因此今天小编为大家带来比较全面的话题内容分析,希望大家能够关注。
首先,来看看姓名类话题一般都涉及哪些问题?
Names
> Do you like your name?
> Who give you your name?
> What names are most common in your hometown?
> Do you have any special traditions about naming children?
„„
对于这类问题看起来其实都是比较简单的,最重要的是思路如何展开:
首先,当问到你的名字或谁为你取得名字时,可以先介绍自己的名字;然后介绍你名字的特点以及所赋予的意义(起名字的人对你的期望和美好的憧憬);第三步可以介绍名字对你个人的特别意义和重要性(因为一般会问到是否会改名字或者是否想过改名字等问题),但是一定要赘述啰嗦尽量直奔主题,可以说说你为什么喜欢你的名字,有什么特别的价值和情感色彩,以及对你的影响等等,理由可以很具体。如果还有时间,最后可以介绍一下在你的家乡起名字的风俗和传统特点,有时候考官也会问到。
而在此类话题中大家要明白一些常用的问题表达,看起来是不同的问题其实目的都是相同的,自然考官想要的答案也是一样的:
1.What is your full name?
What’s your name?
How should I address you?
How should I call you?
2.Who gave you your name?
Who gave this name to you ?
Does your name have any particular meaning?
3.Do you like your name?
Would you like to change your name?
Have you ever changed any name before?
Do you want to change your name before?
4.In your country, do people feel that their name is very important?
Who usually names babies in your country?
Do you have any special traditions about naming children in your hometown?
下面根据具体的问题及答案来系统的看一下整个话题:
1.What is your full name? How should I address you?
My full name is XXX.And my English name is Jennie.You can call me Jennie.提示:回答姓名虽然是很简单的问题,但是考生要通过简单的扩展展现出自己与小学生英文水平的不同。很多人把全名full(短音)name念成傻瓜名字fool(长音)name而贻笑大方。在这里考生没有必要大做文章,只要讲清楚姓名就可以。同时因为大多数考官不太会念中文名字,所以最好给出英文名字。
2.Does your name have any special meaning or significance?
Yes, it does have a special meaning.Literally it means to travel as far as beyond the stars.Strategy:在这里可以运用一点点小的技巧。为了从众多考生中脱颖而出,我们可以在准备充分的基础上加上一点点新意。充分发挥想象力,比如说:我们就可以讲这个姓名是算命先生给的,并且有了这个名字就可以嫁个老公:What's more, this name was given by a fortune-teller and he said with this name I would marry a great guy.提示:其实不知道自己姓名的意思也没关系。只要坦诚的告诉考官就可以。但是不可以简单的说“I don't know”,而应该做合理的猜测以展现自己出自己流利的英文表达。但是在猜测的时候,考生可以充分的发挥想象力,没有必要长篇大论。如:I don't really know.It is given by my grandfather.I guess it means to travel as far as beyond the starts, because he also wanted me to become a great and successful person.3.Have you ever changed your name? Why or why not?
No, I haven't.I'm very happy about my Chinese name.And I guess I am never going to change it.Well, yes.The previous name I had just sounds so silly.It is even close to the Chinese word for “baboon”.So in order to avoid continuing embarrassing myself, I changed it.And now I'm happy about my current name.Notes:这道题通常是为下面的题目作铺垫。有两种答题的方向,考生可以自己做出选择。
Do Chinese people like changing their names? Why or why not?
In my personal opinion, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names, because to most people names are just symbols, though some people do believe names can affect the course of their life.In that case, if they are not content with who they are or what they have, they may change their names.What kind of people like changing their names?
Well, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names.But if they do, they must believe names are important to them, more than just symbols, or somehow carries a significant meaning to them.Among them, of course, some people are just superstitious.名字对大多数中国人来说确实只是一个符号。但是如果名字对一个人有特别的含义则有可能促使人改名字。
4.What's their purpose in changing their names?
It is hard to say.But as far as I know there are two major purposes.Number one, people change their names to make their names sound better.Number two, they change their names in order to change their destiny, because they believe names can affect the course of their life, no matter it is superstitious belief or just a willful thought.Well, this is a big question.As far as I know, I don't think Chinese people like to change their names often.Because most people believe names are just symbols.They don't change anything.And destiny is in their own hands to make.Notes:该题目与前一道题目形成对比,前一道题目是个人的行为,本题目涉及的是群体的行为。姓名的改变通常由于以下一些原因:
1、声音不好听或拗口
2、与其他词(通常不是好词)谐音
3、迷信,认为改变姓名可以改变运道等。
5.In your culture, do women change their names when they get married?
I know it is quite common for women to take on their spouse's family name in other cultures.But in my culture, that is not the case—women often keep their maiden name even after getting married.But the children will follow the father's surname.Notes:女子出嫁后而不随夫姓,这是中国很普遍的现象。而国外却大多与此相反。考生可以采取中外对比的方式回答问题。
从这些问题我们可以总结如下:在回答第一部分的问题时,考生不要只给考官一个“YES”或“NO”的答案,或是采用“点头摇头术”的交流方式。考生只有在连续用英语回答的前提下才能使雅思考官对其英语的驾驭能力进行评估、打分。所以在雅思口语考试的环节中,“Something is better than nothing!”是永恒的王道。
