关于雅思口语Part 1和part3的时间分配上,大部分考鸭都很困惑,part1问题都不难,就是一些基础题,简称送分题。下面小编就和大家分享雅思口语Part 1及part3相关话题延伸技巧,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思口语Part 1及part3相关话题延伸技巧
有一些雅思考生在考场上是这样做的:碰到一些简单的Part 1 问题, 比如“Do you like learning history ?”考生的答案很多都是千篇一律的“Yes, I like it. It’s interesting.”或者 “No. I think it’s boring.” 考生以为已经回答了考官的问题,但是考官却皱皱眉头,紧接着问“Why ?”,然后考生就吞吞吐吐不知道该怎么回答了。这边需要注意的是,每当考官在考试时候问“Why ?”考生应该意识到的是,其实考官是在说“Please give me some details and examples.”因为考生的答案太空洞,没有实质性内容会让考官误以为考生的词汇量单一,思维过于简单,没有逻辑,自然得不到好的分数。
我们先撇开答案长短不说,至少你得把话说明白了,让考官理解历史有趣在哪里?无聊在哪里?如果你的口语答案说出来,都没法让考官理解,那你也别奢望得到太好的分数了。如何有逻辑地拓展自己的回答一直都是Part 1和Part 3的关键。 我们今天就先来看看,Part 1 常见的延伸和拓展思路有哪些?
1两点一线Answer+Reason1+Reason2
Do you like reading books?
Totally yes. I’m such a big fan of reading, especially English novel. Mainly because it’s a good way for me to pass time. And also it helps me to soak up the second language.
“两点一线”其实就是指我们在回答原因的时候,尽量回答两个原因。第一,这样可以满足答案有一定的长度。第二,满足递进的逻辑关系,让答案显得更有逻辑。
这里需要提醒考生的是:A一定要有连接词:mainly because + Reason 1, and also + Reason 2 是非常非常重要的,连接词便于考官去理解你的答案。如果你的答案没有连接词,在考官看来,句子之间互相独立而杂乱无章的表达,所以他们无法领会其中的“深意”。
B抽象的东西要学会具体化:上面答案里很好的把抽象的book 具体化成了English novel. 首先这样可以展示词汇。 sports magazine,science fiction novel, biography, comic book 写出来大家都认识,但是考试时候不说出来,谁知道你认识呢。另外,抽象问题具体化也为后面说Reason 2 打开了一个方向。
2聊聊自己的经历:Answer+Experience+Reason
Do you often listen to music ?
Yes, I listen to music on a daily basis. Whenever I have free time, I’ll put on my headphones and get lost in my favorite rock music, which is a good way to blow off steam.
有的时候,某些话题如果想不到两个原因,谈谈自己的经历也是可以的。说经历的方式有很多,这里介绍给大家的方法就是when + what + which is a good way to + R
When: Whenever I have free time
What : put on my headphone and get lost in my favorite rock music
Which : blow off steam
这里需要提醒考生的是,“放松”是口语考试Part 1 中的常见观点,很多题目中都可以用到,所以建议考生都准备几种表达,不要一直都是relax. 其实我们可以说 help sb to unwind, release one’s pressure, blow off steam, 都是可以来替换 relax。
3学会解释原因:Answer+Reason+Explain
Do you think it’s important to eat fruit ?
To be honest, I think eating fruit is a big deal. Mainly because it’s beneficial for people’s health.
To be more specific, fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and natural sugar, so eating fruits is a good way to help people lose weight, strengthen muscle and even boost immune system.
当考生的答案只是运用一些空洞形容词且没有实质性内容的时候(比如,sth. is adj. Reading is interesting 或者 doing sth. is adj. Playing video games is time-wasting ), 要学会去进一步解释。
Do you like reading newspaper ?
Not particularly, it’s not my cup of tea. Probably because it’s boring. That is to say, it’s generally black and white, lack of some attractive and colorful photos. Also it mainly focuses on politics, economy and current affairs.
在否定答案中,考生经常会说it’s boring, tedious, time-wasting, inconvenient等等,都不能算是一个好答案。考生以为自己把答案说完了,其实考官这时却是不理解的,一定要进一步解释。
3懂得分条件讨论
It depends.
If + 条件 1 + A + R
However if + 条件2 + B + (R)
Do you prefer to do outdoor games or indoor games ?
Well, it depends. If the weather is agreeable, I’m more willing to do some games in the outdoors, such as hiking, fishing and camping. You know, it’s a great opportunity to get close to nature and breath fresh air. However, if it’s raining outside, indoor games such as card game or board game will be a better option to have fun.
有些题目可以不用直接回答,采用分类讨论可以让答案更有延伸性,也能让考官感觉出考生有一定的思维和想法。但是,不建议在Part 1 中多次采用分类讨论,因为我们在聊天过程中总是说“It depends.( 我觉得看情况 )”,会让别人觉得很奇怪。
4评价优缺点:Mixed Feelings + Advantage + Disadvantage
Do you think internet is a good place to check news ?
Well, in terms of this topic, I have very mixed feelings.
On one hand, it’s pretty convenient to check news whenever people have free time. For example, commuters can read the latest news on their smart phones when taking underground.
However, on the other hand, news on the internet is not one hundred percent reliable and objective. Some news media bend the truth to grab audiences’ eyeballs.
中国教育方式比较注重学生的接受吸纳能力,而非辩证思考反驳的能力。于是学生在课后能广泛自发地使用因果关联关系,而使用转折关系的学生却寥寥无几。评价优缺点也就是去探讨事物的两面性,是考生在雅思口语Part 1 和 Part 3 应该熟练运用的方法。不仅可以有效的去延伸拓展答案,更可以让答案体现出西方教育中所强调的辩证思维能力。
2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:你获奖的经历
Describe a time when you won a prize.
You should say:
When it happened
What prize it was
Why you wanted to win that prize
And explain how you felt about that experience
The time I remember really clearly when I won a prize was when I was in school in a singing contest. It was an annual event, I think before Spring Festival… There was a big end-of-year stage performance at school, and in teams or individually, we were encouraged to join a singing or music competition. I decided to do a solo, because I’m really into singing and I’m really good at it. I had singing lessons since I was a kid and I’m a huge fan of performing cover versions of songs and going to KTV and really trying to sing better and better, and more challenging things. I decided that I would sing a song by Adele, called Chasing Pavements, which I find a little bit difficult, actually. I practiced intensely for at least a month, at home and also during rehearsals with a microphone and the proper sound equipment that we would use in the contest. When the big day came I was obviously really, really nervous. I dressed in a shiny metallic long dress and did my hair in wavy sort of curls and wore a silver necklace, so I felt really elegant as I got up on stage, and I think this helped me feel more confident. I thought I sang particularly well on this occasion and I felt really empowered singing in from of hundreds of people and seeing their faces of admiration as I hit some of the high notes spot on. I did make a couple of mistakes, which I was disappointed about, but in the end when the judges all gave their results, I came first!! Yes, I won first prize! I was amazed. I knew I had performed pretty well, but I didn’t think I was the best or that I’d win first prize. I was so proud of myself, and after the show I went for a meal with my parents and a couple of my friends to celebrate. Oh, I forgot to say what the first prize was!! I was presented, on stage, by the judges, with a large gold trophy in the shape of a musical note, and an android tablet. That was first prize. I was really pleased with that, but to be honest, I was more pleased with coming first and achieving such a great thing, than the actual prize gift for the achievement, if that makes sense.

1. What kind of prizes do children often win nowadays?
I’m not totally sure really. I think it depends on the kind of competition. I think most prizes are quite modest, like trophies for sporting or musical achievements, and perhaps things that are useful for studies like pens and books and electronics. Depending on the school and the area, the prizes can be quite expensive, or quite simple. I think children today are becoming far too spoilt and they are getting increasingly demanding, expecting really expensive prizes and gifts and I think this isn’t really a good trend. So, I imagine there is some pressure for prizes to be more fancy than they were in the past. This seems to be what’s happening these days in other spheres of life anyway – like big company galas and events like this, the prizes can be anything from the latest mobile phone to even a car!! I think the whole culture of prizes and rewards is a little bit unpleasant really, and since I was a kid things have become far too materialistic.
2. Are these prizes good for them?
I think, as I was saying before, prizes that are useful and practical are good for them, and prizes such as trophies are motivating too. But I think prizes that are just expensive items for the sake of it, or fancy brands, and things like this, simply encourage a culture of consumerism and materialism. I worry today that too many people in my country, especially younger people and children, put too much emphasis on brands and fancy gifts and expensive things, and not enough attention is given to modest forms of encouragement and moral values. So, I think that some prizes are not good for them and force a kind of competition that I do not think is healthy.
3. Why do we need to give children prizes?
Prizes can be motivating and encouraging so I think that if done in the right way, giving children prizes can reward effort and success and motivate children to try to do better in their studies, sporting activities, musical pursuits or other activities. There should always be a culture of healthy competition in life, and the values of being a good loser should be encouraged as much as those of being a good winner! Children should not have too many prizes too often, but on special occasions or when they have achieved something really worthwhile through personal dedication and effort, then children should be rewarded with prizes and this can be motivating and encouraging.
2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:忘记做的事
Describe a thing you once forgot to do.
You should say:
What it is
When you forgot it
Why you forgot it
And explain how you felt about this experience
I’m sometimes quiet a forgetful person so in fact there are quite a few occasions I recall when I forgot to do something. You see, I can get a bit flustered and stressed out under pressure and it’s on these occasions that I am most likely to forget something. It’s never something really important, though, at least not usually. The one time that I did forget something important was when I was meant to take a birthday present to my brother’s house in Changsha. You see, we were making a family visit there for his birthday and we prepared lots of stuff to take to him. I completely forgot his present, to be honest I don’t know how I could have forgotten it but I did. I got into an argument with my mother you see, a silly argument about something unimportant, just before we were about to leave for the train station, and I completely forgot the present – I left it on the kitchen table at home. I was meant to pack it but I didn’t. I didn’t actually realise that I’d forgotten it until we arrived at his house after the long train journey, and then everyone unpacked their stuff, and I suddenly realized I didn’t have it. I was incredibly embarrassed and felt really silly. He wasn’t that annoyed about it, but I felt bad and my mother was really angry and gave me a lot of hassle about it. She has gotten quite tired, over the years, with reminding me to do things, and me forgetting you see. So, this was one of the many occasions when I’d forgotten something, yet again, and she lost patience with me. My brother calmed her down – he’s quite a placid character and he is good at smoothing things over – he never seems to get annoyed or take anything too personally, unlike my mother, so he was totally cool about it all. But, still, I felt bad and I said I would post it to him from Beijing, when we got back. This was a year ago, summer last year. In fact, it was during the summer holidays from university.
Part3
1. How can we strengthen our memory?
There are a number of ways we can strengthen our memory, actually, most of these include mental activities like puzzles, word games, number games and, of course, reading. Reading novels is very underestimated as a great form of keeping the mind active and sharp – mainly because you’ve got to hold in your mind different characters and what they do. I think that is why kids learn and remember things more than adults sometimes – they’re in school and have to read a lot of different things for different subjects so they are constantly training their minds in that way, and at the same time training their memories. In school here you have to memorize a lot you see so some people get really strong at memory-related activities and things. After we leave school I think we lose some of this ability, but that also depends on the kind of jobs we do. If you have a challenging and demanding job juggling lots of different tasks, projects and deadlines, then you’re more likely to keep your memory sharp and focused. If you have a more laid-back job you’re more likely to get out of the habit of remembering things or managing multiple tasks at once and you’re perhaps more inclined to forgetting things easier.
2. What kind of people might easily forget things?
People who are busy or easily distracted forget things more, I reckon. Also, it’s a personality thing: some people are more absent-minded and it’s just in their nature. Also, people who get stressed more easily, and confused can forget things more often than people who are calm and composed. When you get worried and stressed your mind can get clouded and you’re more likely to put things off or forget to do things, because your mind is occupied and not really working in a clear or organized manner. Also, if you’re tired you’re more likely to suffer from absent-mindedness. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep because that helps the brain to be more clear and focused.
3. What kind of things do people often forget?
People forget dates, times and appointments sometimes. I’m not sure, I think it depends… let me think… I have friends that often forget their subway card in the office, or forget their phone even in the bathrooms at work. There are all sorts of things like this that people routinely forget. My sister always leaves her car keys in bars and restaurants – almost every time she goes out, we are just leaving the place and she must go back to get her keys from the table we’ve been eating at. I don’t know why she always does this. You see, different people have different habits, both good and bad habits, and some people forget these kind of items because they get distracted in conversation and then absent-minded about their wallet or keys or these kind of things that you take out of your pocket and put down, then forget to pick up again.
4. Do you think heavy workload is the reason for forgetting things?
Yes, oftentimes this can be a reason why people forget things, most certainly. If people have a lot of work to do they not only have to juggle a lot of different tasks and projects, maybe, but they also might not get chance to have proper rest and sleep, especially if they also have family responsibilities and duties when they get home at night. So, this can cause people to be tired, which, in turn, means that their minds aren’t working properly or very sharply, and they can easily forget things. I think that a good work-life balance is essential for people. In fact, people are more likely to produce better quality work and not get forgetful, if they have plenty of rest time and a decent night’s sleep that is largely free of stress or worry.
