雅思口语话题解析：a celebrity

　　先从一个例子入手，来说一说人物这一类topic的特点和重要性。

　　下面这个例子是我的得意之作，虽然到现在也没有考到。我想如果真的能被考到的话，第二部分8分应该是不成问题了。

　　Example by Edward:

　　Describe a celebrity you admire.

　　Explain: who is this celebrity? What has he/she done to become popular? Why do you like him/her?

　　When this topic is regarded/As the topic is mentioned , I would say a celebrity whom I admire most is the former Chinese gymnast who is named Li Ning . Before I start, I do want to remind you that he is the man who lighted up the primary torch in Beijing Olympic Game 2008.

　　Li Ning is no doubt one of the greatest athletes in China owing to his great contribution to gymnastics. As a gymnast, Li Ning demonstrated exceptional talents and perseverance/fortitude that his contemporaries didnt possess. In Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games, he won 4 gold medals, which was the best performance in that game. The next year, he won another two in World Gymnastic games. Prior to Beijing Olympics, he still held a record of 14 champion titles in gymnastics. In his days, he barely can find a competitor. So this good-looking young man has often been called the prince of gymnastics.

　　Having retired from his beloved game , Li Ning still continued his passion in the field of sports by establishing a sport wear company which was named after him. The company soon became an unprecedented success. Presently, the brand Li Ning has become a main competitor that Nike and Addidas can not ignore in the global market.

　　Another reason I admire him is that Li Ning is not just a normal businessman who only cares about money, but also a man responsible for the future of the whole nation . He often donates money to communities and the national educational program called hope plan. So everything he does can be used as positive demonstration for the youth.

　　Therefore，。。。

　　这个topic要说完可能需要3分钟，所以在考场上必然会被考官打断-因为这部分给定时间在1-2分钟。但是并不用担心，因为考官会告诉你：dont worry if I stop you.

　　人物topic是所有topic中最基本的一项。它是应该要优先考虑的一项，所以应该充分准备。原因很简单。很多topic都会和它相关联。当你试着把其他topic和人物联系起来时，准备口语的topic就变得轻松了许多。

　　试想，当你说一个物品,比如gift, 或者一次经历，比如travelling的时候，把它和你的好朋友或者是家人联系起来。准备就变得很有效率，回答时也可以避免没话说的灾难发生。

　　人物topic大致分为这么几种：

　　A friend: a happy person, one you want to travel/study/work with, one you admire

　　A celebrity: sport/movie/music star, a famous person you admire, a successful person, a character from a TV program or a movie.

　　A family member: one who influenced you most, one you like best, a happy person, an old person.

　　Else: child, teacher, neighbor
