艺术也始终是雅思考官们钟爱的一个考点,也有不少的重复率。其中较多涉及的主题有:music, work of art, sculpture, painting, handicraft, song。这类考题其实和诸如人物描述,爱好描述的卡片都有部分重合之处,大家在准备的时候也可以适当套用。比如有的卡片要求描述一个歌手,当然不可避免的要谈论他的音乐。描述爱好当然就更容易串这些艺术的东西了。
关于手工艺品的考题较难,我们先来看一张相关的卡片:
Describe A Handicraft
Describe a handicraft you made.
You should say:
What it is.
How it was made.
How long it took to make it.
And explain why you like it.
范文
The handicraft I am going to talk about is the paper-cut one. Before almost every Spring Festival, my mom would buy piles of paper cuttings to decorate the home. They would be pasted on the windows and the entrances to bring good luck. But this year, I decided to make the decoration all by myself.
这个考题本身较难,要想描述清一个手工艺品的制作过程着实不易。所以,我们在选择所要描述的对象时一定要避重就轻,选择一些容易描述的。在这里,选择了剪纸也是处于这样的考虑。这段描述一开始开门见山,接着在进入正题前先回顾了一下历时,讲述了从前母亲用剪纸布置房间的经历。
A master of the craft can cut out different drawings freely only using a pair of scissors. But I didnt venture to do it that way. I googled the pattern I wanted before printing it out on a piece of red paper. It was the character Chun. Then I used an engraving knife to cut out the pattern. And an amazing piece of folk art emerged.
在描述制作过程的时候几乎没有用什么很专业的词。我们千万不要到网上去查一堆资料然后把所有的专业描述统统塞到脑子里去。最优的策略是绕开所有的难点。此外在这里还把艺人的剪纸方式和我的方式做了一个对比。
It was easier than I had thought. I only spent half an hour doing all the printing and cutting.
前面的论述已经较为充分,所以第三个问题用了两句话带过。
After the festival, I fell in love with paper cutting. The craft is not difficult to learn, although it is very difficult to master with perfection. Also, it helps to create a merry atmosphere on special occasions, such as festivals and wedding ceremonies. Furthermore, paper cutting, with which people express wishes, is one of Chinas most popular folk art. It is a piece of art that helps to preserve traditions.
最后一段从三个方面论述了我喜爱剪纸的原因。其中fall in love with的表达方式可以用来替代love, like。最后的一个词组preserve traditions值得大家学习,在很多艺术类考题中都能用上。
