雅思口語(yǔ)高分技巧—Part2答題擴(kuò)展

在教學(xué)的過(guò)程中，當(dāng)問(wèn)到學(xué)生雅思口語(yǔ)三個(gè)部分的考試哪個(gè)部分最難以對(duì)付時(shí)，大多數(shù)情況下學(xué)生會(huì)認(rèn)為Part 2是最令人頭痛的部分?，F(xiàn)在Part 2的話題越來(lái)越細(xì)化、刁鉆，雖然有1分鐘的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間，但在緊張的考試環(huán)境下，大部分學(xué)生都稱“腦子是空白的”，以導(dǎo)致不充分的準(zhǔn)備讓1-2分鐘的描述變得非常的慘白，無(wú)奈收尾，給考官的感覺(jué)始終印象不深刻，無(wú)法達(dá)到通過(guò)細(xì)致的描述想親自嘗試的意愿。

通過(guò)分析學(xué)生Part2的回答范例，發(fā)現(xiàn)不少同學(xué)要么僅將話題卡中給的問(wèn)題提示作以簡(jiǎn)單回答，要么使用較為明顯的模板回答方式---也就是常說(shuō)的無(wú)關(guān)緊要的話，來(lái)填塞內(nèi)容上的空白。如”If I really have to choose a place to describe, I’d like to tell you that …. issuch the place.” 這也是中國(guó)學(xué)生雅思口語(yǔ)在40個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)墊底的原因之一。在這篇文章中，將總結(jié)出四種Part 2描述題的拓展策略。

策略一：WH細(xì)節(jié)描述法

當(dāng)考生在面對(duì)話題無(wú)從下手時(shí)，可以利用 ”WH Questions”來(lái)引導(dǎo)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. 首先須明確what(theBookworm)，when(some five years ago), where (down the south ofChengdu)，who(foreigners for most of time);其次是整個(gè)描述的重點(diǎn)why(comfortable, pleasant,intimate )，how exactly (detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, andintimate)，how often(once a month…)，how much(30-40 yuan on average perperson)，how many(3 in Whole China)。

但是，雅思中國(guó)網(wǎng)海外考試研究中心在此提醒考生，在回答中，不可機(jī)械地按照每一個(gè)WH來(lái)作答，否則描述同樣會(huì)非常死板乏味，即需要靈活自然過(guò)渡每一個(gè)WH。

Sample answer：The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancycafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partnerand co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm.

During these years, it’s been popular and welcomed by almost everyforeigner in Chengdu. I guess it’s probably because the cafe is really the placethat can make them feel at home, ranging from the food, coffee, insidedecoration, and those books written and published from their country.

The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customershome style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or atwork, 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 enjoythe best jazz and blues.

There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has the first, and Chengdu andSuzhou follow the step, therore if you‘re taking a trip to Beijing or Suzhou,you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nice little cafe. I like thecafe, for it’s the place where I can relax, eat, drink, read and enjoymusic.

策略二：舉例支撐法

在Part2話題描述中，如果僅有描述，仍會(huì)讓整個(gè)陳述略顯有些平淡，所以建議考生在描述的同時(shí)加上相應(yīng)的例子，這樣可以大大增加描述內(nèi)容的豐富性和生動(dòng)性。但是， 在Part2里例子，并不一定要非常正式的舉例，如“For example”;口語(yǔ)化的一些表達(dá)方式會(huì)更自然一些，如“such as，like”。

比如，”Describe a special shop”，除了描述這個(gè)shop里有一些specialgoods外，若再具體舉例說(shuō)明有哪些特殊商品可以更能增強(qiáng)生動(dòng)性。In the shop, you can always find some specialand interesting stuff, such as hand-made floating lantern, photo books, tinychina pot, and Nepali jewelries and things like that.

策略三：數(shù)據(jù)支撐法

Part2話題屬于細(xì)節(jié)描述題，在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候如果能夠使用數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)進(jìn)一步支撐描述，可以增強(qiáng)話題描述的真實(shí)性和說(shuō)服力。但是，建議考生在使用數(shù)據(jù)的時(shí)候不要太過(guò)夸張數(shù)字，而且頻率不應(yīng)過(guò)多，使用一次數(shù)據(jù)就可以了。另外，與雅思寫作有別的是，在寫作中引用數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)最好有個(gè)出處或來(lái)源，但在回答口語(yǔ)Part2問(wèn)題時(shí)，這個(gè)出處可以省略，否則會(huì)導(dǎo)致回答內(nèi)容是背誦的嫌疑，降低真實(shí)性，這就與本站們的初衷背道相馳了。

比如“Describe a concert hall”，本站們可以通過(guò)數(shù)據(jù)的支撐來(lái)這樣描述“The Civil Concert Hall holdsabout 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 andgreat sound and lighting fects. ”有了數(shù)據(jù)的支撐，可以使本站們對(duì)音樂(lè)廳的規(guī)模和條件有個(gè)更直觀的了解，而不是簡(jiǎn)單地描述“theconcert hall is very popular and well-equipped.”

策略四：比較對(duì)照法

1-2分鐘的描述中，除了單方面地進(jìn)行描述外，可以通過(guò)描述同類事物進(jìn)行比較的方式來(lái)使內(nèi)容更加全面細(xì)致。但是，這個(gè)部分畢竟是口語(yǔ)考試，所以選用的比較類的詞語(yǔ)應(yīng)為口語(yǔ)化的連接詞，“unlike，similar，like，bedifferent from”等。

例如“Describe a magazine”，本站們這樣來(lái)描述：The magazine I’ve been reading recently isO2 (Oxygen Magazine), which mainly covers good books, movies, music, and lifedesign as well as eco protection are the key topics throughout the wholemagazine. Unlike the normal magazines, you cannot find any company’sadvertisement on it. Another thing makes it different from the ordinary ones isthat it uses recycled paper, and that’s what it’s aimed since it was born.通過(guò)對(duì)比的方式，可以令考官加深對(duì)描述的印象，也豐富了枯燥話題的陳述內(nèi)容。

以上四種策略可以幫助考生拓展雅思口語(yǔ)Part2的回答，讓描述題不再變得單調(diào)乏味，通過(guò)舉例和數(shù)據(jù)支撐法來(lái)增強(qiáng)內(nèi)容的真實(shí)性，細(xì)節(jié)法和比較對(duì)照法來(lái)彌補(bǔ)考生在題目上“無(wú)話可說(shuō)”的問(wèn)題，最終取得理想的分?jǐn)?shù)!
