在2015年下半年的雅思口語考試中,我們可以看到自9月份以后,新題的出現(xiàn)概率在增加,在口語考試的三個part都有新題出現(xiàn),很多考生對于新出現(xiàn)的題目感到困惑,若是考試時遇到?jīng)]有準備過的題目,就覺得辭窮,沒法繼續(xù)答下去了。其實,對于新出現(xiàn)的題目,我們可以在朗閣海外考試研究中心的考題回顧中看到,我們需要做到早有準備,再奔赴考場。即使是我們沒有把所有的題目準備完,也可以把之前準備過的題目思路、內(nèi)容、例子等等使用到新題當中,只要內(nèi)容恰當,不突兀,就可以整合成一份很好的答案了。在本篇中,我們將為大家展示新題的題目內(nèi)容、解析以及如何答出比較流暢而豐富的答案。在本篇列舉出的題目中,星號的題目是相對來說更難回答的,同學們可以參考下面的解析和答案,為自己的備考擴充思路,增加得分的把握。
PART 1新題
? Wouldyou like to be alone?
解析:這道題目的思路較少,我們一般會答出yes或no, 然后原因就不知道說什么了。我們可以從自己學習、娛樂、生活等方面考慮,如果答yes, 可以講省時間、效率高等等;如果答no, 可以講參考別人的意見、分享等等。
答案范例:Yes, I’d like to be alone.When I do my study, I don’t like to be disturbed by others. Maybe I will chatwith my friends and forget my work. When I go traveling, I do not have toconsider others travel plan and slow my journey.
? Whenwas the last time you did something in a hurry?
解析:急匆匆地做某事這個話題雖然比較生活化,但是考生容易認為自己沒有這方面的經(jīng)歷。其實,只要說早晨起晚了,趕時間;或者趕火車、飛機就可以了。
答案范例:I got up late last Mondaybecause I stayed up late the last night. I had to hurry to school and I didn’twant to be late. I quickly had breakfast and rushed out to catch the bus.Fortunately I was not late, but it was terrible experience.
? Doyou like to finish things quickly?
解析:快速完成的事情一般來說是吃飯、做作業(yè)、洗澡等等自己的事情。如果選擇yes會容易解釋一些。
答案范例:Yes, I always have mealsquickly and take a shower quickly. I think this can save my time. When I do myassignments, I would like to finish them in a short time then I can go to relaxmyself.
? Wouldyou like to live in the countryside in the future?
解析:這個題目對于我們來說,很多同學沒有想過,如果說no的話,我們可能就沒有思路了。其實,答yes的話內(nèi)容多一些,只要說住在農(nóng)村的好處就可以了,比如空氣新鮮,環(huán)境安靜等等。
答案范例:Yes, I would like to livein the countryside, because I like the clean and quiet environment incountryside. There are fewer factories and cars in countryside places so lesspollution is produced. It is good for our health. When I retire in my future, Iwill find a place to settle down in the rural area.
? Whatis the sky like at night in your hometown?
解析:除了dark, 同學們很難形容家鄉(xiāng)的夜空,其實,我們可以分晴天和陰天來形容,還有說一下月亮和星星,這樣話題就豐富了。
答案范例:The sky is fairlybeautiful at night, especially under fine weather. We can see the starstwinkling on the sky, the moon is giving out soft light. The sky is dark, butwe can still see the cloud sometimes floating slowly. If it is cloudy, wecannot find stars, but it is also silently beautiful.
? *What is your favorite star?
解析:首先,對于star的名稱,我們不是很熟悉,更談不上具體的特點和形狀了,建議大家選擇常見的,容易說的就可以,比如NorthStar, 我們可以說它是亮的星星,給我們帶來幸運等等。
答案范例:The North Star, it is thebrightest star in the north part of the sky. It is said to bring good luck topeople who have chance to watch it. There are a lot of stories and songs aboutthis star, so I think it is romantic and mysterious. Some other stars can formsome shapes in group, but the North Star is recognizable and famous.
? *Are you a social person?
解析:我們理解的social是什么含義呢?有的同學認為是比較善于交際,如果答了yes, 感覺解釋起來就不知道用什么詞匯和內(nèi)容了。其實,這個題答no應該稍微容易些,比如我不太愿意主動和陌生人搭訕,或者說我比較安靜內(nèi)向等等。如果答yes, 大家可以從brotherhood這個方面來答,比如我喜歡交朋友,講義氣brotherhood,朋友很多,我的性格比較外向,這樣也可以。
答案范例:No, I am a shy person. Idon’t like to start the talk with strangers, so my social circle is small. Ijust have friends who have grown up together with me. They are trustworthy.
? *Do you like to learn about history?
解析:學習歷史的話題,學生感到歷史課比較枯燥,需要背的東西太多,因此答了no, 但是理由或解釋比較少。我們可以從歷史人物、有趣的歷史故事等等方面入手,舉例說明歷史有意思;如果答no, 可以講歷史課、歷史類電視節(jié)目的缺點,但是不要提及自己不熟悉自己國家的歷史,或完全沒興趣,可以說歷史教育的方法需要改進,讓教育變得有意思一些。
答案范例:Yes, history isinteresting and educational. I can learn a lot from it. When I first heard thestory of a famous herbiest, Lishizhen, I admired him and wanted to learn fromhim. The history about wars gives us a teaching of how peace is important to anation.
? *Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?
解析:對于電影或電視節(jié)目,很多同學感覺其中的歷史部分改動比較多,但是用英文來回答,就不知道怎么去表達這些。其實,我們在加強詞匯擴充的同時,把自己能表達出來的簡單句表達出來就可以了,不用想得太復雜。
答案范例:No, most of films or TVprograms rely on historical background, but they have changed a lot of history.They are misleading because the film makers or TV program producers want theirproducts attractive and full of entertainment. They do not show the truthaccordingly to history. I think historical books are more reliable.
? *Why do old people forget about things easily?
解析:老年人易忘事,我們都知道這是常識,但是原因是病理學方面或者心理學方面的,因此不容易表達。有的同學說老年人要做自己的工作和事業(yè),因此忘記了一些不重要的事情,但這不能代表所有老年人的情況,因此大家還要講一講身體原因和心理原因。
答案范例:Their bodies are not ingood conditions, they become easy to forget things, especially when they arebusy doing housework or they have to do many tasks at the same time, likelooking after babies, cooking and washing. They face this problem and feeltroubled, but they have nothing to do with it.
PART 2新題
?Describe a lawabout environment you would like to see in the future.
解析:關(guān)于環(huán)境法,學生是比較陌生的,因為法律的領(lǐng)域本身就給我們造成很大的困擾,我們了解的不多,除了專業(yè)學法律的學生以外,其他的學生對于法律都比較模糊和陌生。那么,我們可以從一些法規(guī)開始,比如限制使用或禁止使用塑料袋、禁止工廠排放廢水廢氣、禁止污染類企業(yè)在市區(qū)等等,這些都是可以描述出來的。
答案范例:I’d like to talk about alaw about environment in the future. Nowadays, we all suffer the problem ofpollution globally. Plastic bags are regarded as the “white pollution”.However, they are widely used and seem to be unstoppable. In the future,government should make a law about banning the use of plastic bags in all theareas like supermarkets, shopping malls and communities. Plastic bags havecreated great amount of pollution because they cannot be fully disposed of bythe earth. They may exist underground for many years. In the future, we willsuffer more serious pollution if we keep using them regardlessly. In the future,individuals or companies who use plastic bags should be fined or punishedaccording to the extent of using. When we have strict law about this, we canhave a cleaner environment.
?Describe an articlethat you read from a magazine about healthy life.
解析:對于這個題目,建議大家選擇說健康飲食的內(nèi)容,因為其他的內(nèi)容比如運動、養(yǎng)生等等比較少,話題比較難展開。此外,我們還可以多聊一些細節(jié),在描述完成后,再增加健康文章的重要性,這樣就可以豐富自己的答案。
答案范例:The article that I read ina magazine was very helpful. It was about how to keep healthy diet. We all knowthat nowadays fast food is popular and modern people do not lead a healthylifestyle especially in terms of their eating habits. This article is helpfulfor us because it shows us a list of food for our three meals a day. Forbreakfast, bread and milk and some fruits are recommendable. We are supposed tointake protein and vitamin in the morning. For lunch, we have to store energy,so rice, noodles or steaming bread with vegetables and soup is perfect. Whilefor evening meal, we should eat as simple as possible. We can just drink soupand eat vegetables. Human body does not need great fat and energy duringevenings. Some people eat much meat for dinner, it is so strong meal, and it isnot recommendable. This article supplies a food menu for me and I will keep themenu to become healthier in my near future.
?* Describe a personwho likes to travel by plane.
解析:這是一道非常新穎的題目,在2015年下半年才出現(xiàn)的,很多同學認為這道題目能答出的內(nèi)容非常少,乘飛機的感覺和喜歡乘飛機的原因都是很難答出的。首先,我們需要向大家強調(diào)的是,乘飛機的理由主要是說客觀理由,比如經(jīng)常出國旅游或出差、工作是導游需要出國等。其他的內(nèi)容我們可以結(jié)合自己的情況,講一講乘飛機對自己生活和學習的影響,以及飛機上的服務。
答案范例:I want to talk about myaunt. She likes traveling to different countries to learn local cultures, trythe local foods and take pictures. She has a photobook about her travelexperiences. When she was young, that was twenty years ago, she traveled by airfor many times, so she was really a fashion-leader at her time. The air ticketswere extremely expensive, so there were few people who could afford thisvehicle at that time. She told me about the service on the plane when I was 6years old, that was the first time I knew that free drinks and meals weresupplied on the plane. It is special that she was sick on the bus and train,but she was fine on the plane. Maybe it was because the plane was stable aftertaking off. I admire her very much. Now I have the experience traveling by air,I found it was amazing on the plane. I understand why she was crazy abouttraveling by plane.
?* Describe a personin the news that you would like to meet.
解析:新聞中的人物這個題目一出現(xiàn),同學們就想到了政治人物,其實,政治人物的事跡和細節(jié)是比較難說的,不如轉(zhuǎn)而討論娛樂新聞中的人物和體育新聞中的人物,這些話題就更熟悉和輕松了。后面要講想見這個人物的原因時,我們就可以講要簽名、拍照等內(nèi)容了。娛樂和體育界的人物是我們比較喜愛和熟悉的,建議大家講這些人物,將人物介紹、特點、出色的地方等等一一介紹一下,內(nèi)容就比較豐富了。筆者為大家推薦一位娛樂界人物:成龍,供同學們參考。
答案范例:The person I want to meet is Jacky Chen. He is agreat person in Chinese people’s mind. He always appears in media on TV, oronline in the entertainment news report, sometimes even in political newsreport. When he was young, he studied Chinese Kongfu in Hongkong. Afterpainstaking training, he was selected by a movie company. He could act Kongfuin movies. In his movies, he was acting policeman, hero, guard and other kindsof great men. He has a lot of fans including some western fans. He has spreadChinese Kongfu to the world. He has contributed to Chinese movie industry. Hedevotes himself to charity. He helps some poor people and the disabled. Werespect him very much. He is a brave and kind person in our eyes.
He is the first Asian who has wax statue in Madame Tussaud's WaxMuseum. That is great honor to him. His achievement and contributions areadmirable. I hope I can meet him and ask for his signature one day.
PART 3新題
? What is the importance of obeying law?
解析:遵守法律的重要性,這個題目是比較抽象的,很多同學認為遵守法律很重要或者很必要,但是原因就不知道怎么說了。其實,我們需要講到社會穩(wěn)定性,社會環(huán)境這些方面,并且可以舉例,舉例可以幫助我們提高答案的數(shù)量和質(zhì)量。
答案范例:It is important to obeylaws because everyone needs to obey them then we can have stable and peacefulsociety. For example, if people break the law of traffic, running trafficlights, then we may suffer traffic accidents. If factories do not obey the lawof environment, we will have more pollution.
? Is it a good thing to break rules sometimes?
解析:這個題目比較難,很多同學感覺遵守規(guī)則是必須的,不遵守的情況不出現(xiàn)。其實,我們可以舉例來講,比如如果答yes, 可以講在什么情況下可以打破規(guī)定,比如有些規(guī)定在特定情況下不太合理,可以打破;如果答no, 可以講breakrules的后果,比如說闖紅燈。
答案范例:Yes, sometimes. Forexample, in a company, the boss asks all the staff to obey the rules ofreporting work by emails, if someone does not obey this, they will be fined.However, sometimes face-to-face reporting is more efficient, sometimes staffchoose this way to save time. It is understandable.
? Who is more suitable for walking?
解析:適合走路的人,我們可以說運動員,擅長運動的人,身體狀況好的人,年輕人等等。還可以說誰不適合。
答案范例:I think athletes aresuitable for walking, they receive a lot of training
in their daily work, so they are strong enough towalk for a long distance. Young people who like sports are suitable forwalking. Some elderly people who are not fit do not like walking.
? Do you think children should learn how to livehealthily?
解析:小孩子是否應該了解如何健康地生活呢?一般來說,小孩子并不了解,因此很多同學答no, 然后就不知道如何解釋了。其實,如果答yes, 可以把健康飲食和運動多說一說,就容易展開了。
答案范例:Yes, they should learn howto keep healthy. Nowadays, people are not widely leading a healthy life. Theylike fast food and lack of body exercise, even children suffer obesity ordiabetes. Children should learn to be healthy, like they should choose healthyfood such as vegetables and fruits, high-protein foods. They should also havethe awareness of doing exercise to keep themselves fit and energetic.
? * Why do some people dislike air travel?
解析:有的人不喜歡乘飛機,原因主要有:1. 飛機的機票比較貴;2. 飛機的起飛和降落可能會給人帶來不舒服的感覺;3. 飛機被保守的人認為不安全。這些原因我們可以列舉一下,內(nèi)容就比較多了。
答案范例:Some people think airtickets are expensive, they prefer the reasonable-prized vehicles like train orcoach. Some people feel sick on the plane during the taking off or landing.Furthermore, some conservative people think air travel is dangerous, theyprefer to stay closer to the ground.
綜上所述,我們在雅思口語備考時,可以參考上面列舉的解析和答案,多積累,多花時間準備,這樣才能在考場上游刃有余。需要提醒大家的是,雅思口語話題會根據(jù)時間的不同而出現(xiàn)不同的新題或者說是輪換題,我們需要有時間的概念,按照自己考試的月份有針對性地準備題目,不要只準備自己擅長的話題,或者只準備高頻話題,這樣會讓自己陷入被動的備考過程中。我們要早做計劃,根據(jù)自己的考試時間來準備。如果我們遇到自己完全沒有準備過的題目,我們也要會變通,把類似的思路改變一下,然后盡可能多地回答,這樣才能得到比較理想的分數(shù)。
