通常来说,备考雅思口语的考生往往会遇到两大问题:
一,面对很多话题,同学们只能说出寥寥数语,而且绝大多数同学所说的内容基本雷同。
如话题 a famous animal in China,中国学生的标准答案就是panda,而且关于panda,同学们除了说出It has white body and black eyes或者Its cute之外,几乎没有区别于其他同学的内容。
二,在面对相当数量的话题时,同学们感到无话可说。
例如a wedding you have attended,很多同学称自己没有参加过任何婚礼,导致在考场上语塞。
雅思口语中未必一定要说真话。如果真话是我们根本就不了解这个话题,就算能说出来,恐怕也会成为一个既无趣又单调的答案。这样一个答案,在雅思考试中肯定不能获得理想的分数。所以,只要答案是合情合理,前后不矛盾,我们就可以使用。总之,在谈话中,我们要做的只是一个忠实的story teller。
那么应该如何搜集雅思口语话题呢?
首先要学会做有心人,平时和同学、朋友聊天,要多注意收集他人的人生经历。
比如一个同学绘声绘色地描述了他去云南游玩的经历,即便你本人没有去过云南,也可以把这一段话改编成一段出色的雅思旅游类口语的答案。
其次,如果确实对于某个话题感到无话可说,可以借助现在最为发达的网络平台来寻找答案。
例如,在准备describe a park这道题目的时候,南京同学往往会将目标锁定在Xuan Wuhu lake park上,所以我们会听到许多同学描述完全相同的事物,如Theres a zoo indside of it, and therere different kinds of animal in it, such as...,这样的描述确实难以令考官产生兴趣。那么如果我们借助网络来搜索答案,又可以得到什么结果呢?在谷歌或者维基百科中,输入关键词 Disneyland,California,就能得到全部的关于加州迪斯尼的资料。从这个公园产生的背景,到这个公园各个部分的简介。
比如关于其中一个叫做 Redwood Greek Challenge Trail的景点,我们得到了以下信息:Redwood Creek Challenge Trail : A play area for kids, featuring a Mount Shasta wilderness-like setting and suspension and wire bridges. It also features rock climbing and a Brother Bear scene cave. It is also designed for adventurous adults。这段文字描述加上旁边配上的图片,能让我们清楚了解这一个景点的具体情况。那么我们稍稍将这段话做一点点改编和扩充,就是一小段不错的谈话:
Well, I dont have a certain favorite attraction in particular, but if I have to say, Id probably say it is Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Actually, its a play area for kids but it also attracts a young adult like me for its design. It is a mount shape background with a exciting suspension and wire bridge, and also a cute Brother Bear cave which even fascinates a lot of adults。
不过在网络搜索的过程中,切记三个原则。
第一,搜索的关键词要具体不要抽象。如果搜索describe a park,不如搜索一个具体的公园Disneyland得到的信息多。
第二,得到了文字信息之后,一定要在资料的基础上进行改编。因为得到的资料是书面语,我们要将它修改成口语稿才能使用。
第三,把这些句子熟练掌握,内化为自己的观点,并能把它自然地说出来。如果考官发现是在背诵而不是叙述,肯定会给你一个很低的分数。
素材搜索的方法其实很简单,在备考雅思口语话题的过程中,做个有心人能够极大的丰富你话题的广度,这样就能使自己的答案区别于大多数考生了,从而在第一步就占据优势。
