在教学的过程中,当问到学生雅思口语三个部分的考试哪个部分最难以对付时,大多数情况下学生会认为Part 2是最令人头痛的部分。现在Part 2 的话题越来越细化、刁钻,虽然有1分钟的准备时间,但在紧张的考试环境下,大部分学生都称脑子是空白的,以导致不充分的准备让1-2分钟的描述变得非常的惨白,无奈收尾,给考官的感觉始终印象不深刻,无法达到通过细致的描述想亲自尝试的意愿。
通过分析学生Part 2的回答范例,发现不少同学要么仅将话题卡中给的问题提示作以简单回答,要么使用较为明显的模板回答方式---也就是本站们常说的无关紧要的话,来填塞内容上的空白。如 If I really have to choose a place to describe, Id like to tell you that . is such the place. 这也是中国学生雅思口语在40个国家和地区垫底的原因之一。在这篇文章中,将总结出四种Part 2描述题的拓展策略。
策略一:WH细节描述法
当考生在面对话题无从下手时,可以利用 WH Questions来引导思路的拓展,包括 what, when, where, who, why, how 。
例如,Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先须明确what,when, where ,who;其次是整个描述的重点why,how exactly ,how often,how much,how many。
但是,雅思中国网海外考试研究中心在此提醒考生,在回答中,不可机械地按照每一个WH来作答,否则描述同样会非常死板乏味,即需要灵活自然过渡每一个WH。
Sample answer:The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancy cafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5 years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partner and co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm. During these years, its been popular and welcomed by almost every foreigner in Chengdu. I guess its probably because the cafe is really the place that can make them feel at home, ranging from the food, coffee, inside decoration, and those books written and published from their country.
The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customers home style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or at work, having a rest at Bookworm will be the very pleasant thing to chill out. The greatest part is the live music every Friday night at which you can enjoy the best jazz and blues. There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has the first, and Chengdu and Suzhou follow the step, therefore if youre taking a trip to Beijing or Suzhou, you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nice little cafe. I like the cafe, for its the place where I can relax, eat, drink, read and enjoy music
