雅思口语换题季要来啦!熟悉雅思备考的同学都会在准备雅思口语时利用当季口语题库。但是真正将题库内容全部准备完的同学少之又少,不仅是因为一整个题库信息量太大、题目太多,而且很多考鸭也不会花太多时间在雅思口语练习上,而更倾向于将大部分时间用在刷雅思听力和阅读,毕竟这两科比较客观,进步也会比较明显。
所以这种时候大家可以使用“串题法”,即用同一个素材回答雅思口语中的不同问题,这主要是对part 2而言,解决了话题量庞大的问题,提高准备效率。而且掌握了“串题法”之后,就算在换题季遇到新题,大家也可以调用之前准备过的素材,并将内容稍微调整就能直接回答新问题了~
一、如何进行“串题法”练习
大家如果看过完整版雅思口语题库就知道,part 2的题库其实主要分为以下五类:1.人物;2.动物;3.物品(具体和抽象);4.地点;5.事件。
在同一类别话题下很多题目之间就有相似性,可以直接用同一个素材串起来。而且事件类话题有时候还能与前四种类型融在一起,描述一个故事场景。
在这里要提醒大家注意的是,准备时尽量用自己亲身经历过的事情来回答,这样会记得更牢,表达时也会更加顺畅;但如果自己的确在某些题目上没有思路,也可以直接依靠想象力将故事填充完整。
以人物类话题为例,在介绍人物时可以从以下四个方面来构思你的回答框架:
Appearance(穿着打扮、外貌等)
Personality(性格)
Relationship(与你的关系、与家人朋友之间的关系)
Influence(对身边人的影响)
通过上面四个回答维度,大家可以将以下人物类话题全部都串在一起,使用同一个答案回答:
1.Describe a teacher who has influenced you;
2.Describe a person who can speak a foreign language well;
3.Describe someone who helped you before;
4.Describe an important person in your life;
5.Describe an old person you know and respect;
6.Describe someone who you have studied or worked with;
7.Describe someone who gave you good advice;
8.Describe the politest person you know;
9.Described a neighbour who helped you before.
以上这9个话题都是人物类话题,你可以用“an old English teacher”来回答以上所有话题,还可以将其它问题变成你的答案句!比如在回答“an old person you know and respect”时,可以将“the politest person you know” 变成答案,形容这个你尊重的老人是你见过最礼貌的人,一箭双雕
准备好答案主题之后,就可以从上面给大家提到的关于人物类介绍四点框架展开介绍:
Appearance——包括身材、穿着、外貌、年龄等都可以介绍。
eg. He's a tubby old man with a beer belly. Even though he was 60 years old now, he looked younger than his age.
Personality——结合话题描述相应的性格特征。
eg. The warm smile was always telling others the approachable character of my teacher. He was the politest person that I had ever known.
Relationship——与你或者主角身边人的关系。
eg. My English teacher and I had a loving relationship with each other. We were more like friends than teacher and student, since we were neighbours and I often studied English with him after school.
Influence——对你或对身边人带来的影响,也要注意贴合主题。
eg. He had a positive influence on my life, not only because he taught me English, but also because of his attitude towards his students and his friends.
除了上述话题以外,你还可以将这个故事应用到关于“事件类”话题的回答:
Decribe the first day of a course you attended at school. |
