雅思口语话题解析之想深入学习的东西
雅思口语的评分标准包括发音、流利性与连贯性、语法多样性及准确性、以及词汇多样性。这四项都需要我们考生平时的积累,但在准备题目的过程中,后两项尤其需要注意。下面就以近期较为常见的一道题目为例,看看我们该怎么注意这两方面的问题。题目是Describe something that you want to learn more. 接下来的提示问题包括:what it is? How would you learn it? Where you can learn it? And explain why you want to keep learning it.
首先要注意的就是答案需要使用的时态--将来时,是一种计划,所以答题中要有意识的使用相应的表达,尽量确保语法的正确性和多样性。另外,从词汇多样性角度看,要挑选合适的内容才有可能让自己有机会说出自己能够掌握的词汇,所以千万不要为了题材新颖而选择过于困难的“学习内容”。在这里,为了能够和其他题目产生关联以便在练习其他题目时能借鉴内容,我建议同学们可以从语言学习的角度去考虑。语言学习是大家相对来说比较熟悉的内容,词汇的储备也相对来说容易。但是,为了避免千人一面,我们可以把“语言学习”这个话题稍微进行转换,尝试一下public speaking。以下,就是一则范例供大家参考:
well,if there's something I'd like to learn more about, even become proficient in,it must be the skill of public speaking.I'm terrified of speaking in front of the crowd. But recently,my English teacher saidthat,in the coming term, he would requireall of us to do presentation about different topics,like films, books,or events. It'sreally urgent for me to improve it.
As a beginner,I will definitely call in experts to help me,which means I'll choose to attend a sort of public speaking course,because itmay help me increase my proficiency in some techniques,such as how toorganisemy speech,how to usebody language and vocal variety, and stuff like that. Anyway,I believe this kind of course could serve as a guide to train me on these skill sets.
Currently there're plenty of them,online or face-to-face. I prefer,if it's possible,to do face-to-face one since I really want to overcome my fear of speaking in public.I wouldn't achieve it if I do this course online because there would be no audience sitting in front of me and making me nervous.
Apart from the reason I mentioned before,I think learning public speaking could bring me more benefits. For instance,it could help me build up my confidence 'cause I'll finally overcome myfeeling of fear an anxiety. It also may develop my leadership skills as a good public speaker can influence and persuade others by words. So it's absolutely worth learning public speaking skill.
雅思口语part2高分示范答案——描述你想进一步学习的东西
What is it?
Why you want to learn it?
How to learn it?
My major is media and I am in the final year of my Bachelor programme in Media Studies. So now for me, pursuing (追求完美,to get) a postgraduate degree in media is my current goal. Nowadays, the world is quite different from the past. In the past, reading books was what most people did in their spare time, but now pop music, dramas and films become popular cultural products instead of books. From those things, I can get access to many interesting phenomena and views of value, which enriched my inner inward world. Now, it is the era of Internet. Social media affects every aspects of our life, and cultural industries become one of the hottest topics in the world. I received decent basic education that was sound and solid in culture, media and society. I am especially interested in transnational media and understanding cultural industries. Critical thinking and a solid foundation of media theories are required, but it is not dull. Based on the overall situation of cultural globalisation and my own interests on cultural products, I wish I can be part of the media industry. However, they are not practical enough for looking for a job. Therefore, I would like to study a postgraduate course which combines both media producing experience and basic business knowledge. Besides the basic media courses in university, the internship is also important. I hope I can be an intern in top 500 media companies so that I can have more opportunities to learn brand knowledge and carry out promotion activities. TV station is also a good place to go. I would have the opportunity to write programme proposals for hot issues, as well as be involved in shooting and editing programmes.
雅思口语Part2答案:未来计划学习的东西
I have a long desire to learn how to play a piano. Even after my desire and passion, I have not been able to learn it. If I ever get the time and opportunity to learn it, I would grab the chance.
I am not sure exactly when this passion grew in me, but I can guess it was something that came in my mind after I saw a foreign movie where an actor played this instrument. The movie was related to a musician's life and he mostly played piano and sang songs.
In the movie the actor played the piano 3-4 times and the quality of the music was really good. Possibly from that time the passion started to grow in my mind. I work as a computer programmer and have no intension to do any serious type music, but I want to learn to play the piano. If I get spare time and my schedule allows me, I will get admitted in a piano lesson in my city. Not many opportunities are there but I heard that there are 2/3 musicians who teach enthusiast people the piano for a high payment. I will probably get admitted in such a program and would keep learning.
I will need to save around $1000 to get admitted in to the piano lesson and hopefully will have this amount at the end of next year. Then I will talk to the musicians who offer the lesson and would pick one to learn from. I'll allow me to be free at least 2 days in a week to participate in the lesson and I would practice at least for an hour daily.
I know it takes a great determination, passion and talent to learn a creative thing like piano, but I believe, I will be able to achieve it.
Tips for talking about this Cue Card Topic:
For this cue card you can talk about any skill, subject lesson, technical and art skill you want to learn in future. The list of things that you may talk about for this cue card can be:
1. Plan to learn how to play a musical instrument like guitar, drum, and piano.
2. Plan to get engaged in a professional course like office management, programming, graphics design, basic computer course, accounting courses, secretarial course, interior design course etc.
3. Plan to learn a skill out of hobby like wood work, cooking, painting, dancing, singing, gardening etc.
4. Plan to learn a subject out of interest like chemistry, computer hardware course, tour coaching, new business starting etc.
5. Plan to learn to drive, repairing electronics devices, learn to operate a particular device/ hardware etc.
6. Plan to learn practical hand works like typing, short hand course, sewing etc.
7. Plan to learn how to be a good public speaker, good presenter, marketing executive etc.
8. Plan to get enroll in professional writing, outsourcing courses.

10. Plan to learn human resource management for your small business or professional need.
Virtually anything that people usually learn either by himself/ herself or from someone else, teacher, or training institutes can be described in this cue card.
If you can’t remember anything that you are going to learn (even what you desire to learn), present a skill you have as if you are going to learn it.
For the second question “why you want to learn it”, mention that you are very much interested in this and that would add many advantages in your personal/ professional life. Also mention that you had a great interest in it for a long time and you have not been able to manage time to actually learn it. Finally mention some of the advantages people usually enjoy if they have this skill/ quality that you are planning to learn.
For the third question “Where and how you will learn it” mention that you would wither learn it by yourself with the help of books and internet or you will get enrolled in a course and learn it. If the skill is an easy one like learning how to play a game, you can mention that you are going to learn it by yourself. But if the skill learning requires some professional help, you should say that you are planning to learn it from a teacher/ of training institute. Since you are only planning to learn it, you can mention some possible alternatives where you can get enrolled and learn it. For example: if you are planning to learn how to play piano you can say:
“Well, I will need to purchase a piano first to learn it and I have decided to purchase one in the beginning of the next year as I will have some extra money at that time. Initially I would ask my friend (…say a name…) to help me about the basic of the piano lesson as s/he is a great piano player I have ever seen. I will then practice a lot in my free time and would try to get some help from a piano teacher in our area I know about. Besides, the internet is going to be very handy resource for me as these short of lessons are available over internet and I would try to get some help from there as well. Finally, if my time allows, I will get enrolled in a good piano lesson training institute which is available in my city. I believe that, learning to play a piano demands determination and practice and I am positive that I will be fully devoted to learn it.”
Give a good ending and give a very strong impression that you are passionate and determined to learn this skill.
Your ability to talk about this cue card topic should empower you to talk about the following cue card topics as well:
1. Describe a skill you have.
2. Describe a skill one of your friends has.
3. Describe a professional course you have attended.
4. Describe a skill you would like to learn.
5. Describe a quality or skill you love in your friends.

头脑风暴--雅思口语中如何快速反应
大多数考生对雅思口语考试的形式都不陌生。雅思口语考试分为三个部分,分别是:
Part1: Daily conversation (日常对话)
Part2: Individual long turn (独自描述)
Part3: Two-way discussion (双向讨论)
其中,Part2在口语考试当中与其他两个部分的形式完全不同,它需要考生按照话题卡的要求独自描述该话题卡两分钟,内容应在15-18句话为宜。一般来讲,考生只要按照话题卡上的题目要求逐一描述就可以了,我们在此不赘述。
而让广大考生感到头疼的是Part1和Part3部分。Part1部分内容相对简单,都是我们生活中经常遇到的一些场景话题,如:交友,购物,学习、电影等等。Part3部分难度有所提升,是考生和考官进行相关话题的深入讨论,内容涵盖更广泛,如:社会,教育,环境,道德等等。
但是这两个部分的考试形式是完全一样的——一问一答,考官问问题,我们来回答。这恰恰是中国考生最为害怕的,因为它需要考生在极短的时间内迅速组织好语言,进行回答。这两个部分最需要的是脑力风暴(Brainstorm),因为在这两个部分中,考生不知从何谈起,容易陷入沉思。我认为,考生必须把脑力风暴发挥到极致。能否在短时间内让你的想法和观点脱口而出,取决于你思考的速度。
同时,如果我们仔细研读雅思口语考试的评分标准(Band Descriptors),就不难发现,在考查我们流利度的这一项要求中,无论是6分还是7分的评分标准,都要求考生做到一点:speaks at length. 什么意思?答案有一定长度!很多考生连语言都不知道如何组织,又何谈做到答案有一定的长度?下面,我们来看一下扩展方法在Part1和Part3中分别如何进行实战运用:
Part1:
在家庭话题中,考官会问到我们这样的问题:
Examiner: Do have any brothers or sisters? 你有亲兄妹吗?
这时,如果我们只回答“Yes, I do.”或者“No, I don't.”都是不妥的。考生可以思考一下:如何运用红色答题法充实答案,并保证答案长度呢?我们不妨这样想,现在大多数考生都是独生子女,没有亲兄妹,所以很多人一时只会反应出一个“No”。然而,表哥表姐我们或许都是有的,那么,我们在这个No之后能够加入什么补充信息呢?Reason? Example? Detail? 显然,这里我们用举例子和给出原因的方法都不太合适,最好是给细节(Detail),如“only child(独生子女)”和“cousin(表兄妹)”的关键词都是我们可以加入的细节。因此,如果按以下方式回答就显得好很多:
Candidate: No, I don't. I'm the only child of my family. But I have a cousin, with whom I grew up. So I never felt lonely. 不,我是家里的独生子。但是我有一个表哥和我一起长大,所以我从没感到过孤独。
再来看,在电影话题中考官会问到这样的问题:
Examiner: Do you like watching films? 你喜欢看电影吗?
通过上面的例子,相信大家对红色答题法的运用已经有一些感觉了。回答这个问题,答案无非两种:Yes or No. 大家不妨想象一下,如果喜欢看电影,在Yes后面加什么样的补充信息最快捷?显然是举例子Example. 给大家一些备选词汇,看看我们会不会用扩展方法组成一个有长度有质量的答案。
Comedy喜剧
Horror movie 恐怖片
Action movie 动作片
Tragedy悲剧
Swordsmen film 武侠片
Cartoon film 动画片
Candidate: Yes, I do. I'm crazy about many types of films, such as comedy, tragedy, swordsmen films, etc.是的,我喜欢。我喜欢多种电影,比如喜剧片,悲剧片,武侠片等等。
如果不喜欢看电影,在回答了No之后,我们又可以加什么补充信息呢?给原因(Reason),例如浪费时间,票价昂贵,忙于工作等等。我们来试试看:
Candidate: No, not really. I'm too busy with my work every day. What's more, the film ticket is always pricey.不,我不喜欢看电影。我每天忙于工作。还有,电影票一般都很贵。
要做到学以致用,需要反复练习。大家可以尝试用扩展方法回答以下的Part1题目:
Do you like drawing?
Do you like doing sports?
Have you ever grown anything in a garden?
Do you know your neighbors?
What was the last gift you received?
在Part3中,需要考生与考官进行相关问题的深入讨论, 因此问题的难度会有所提升。如果考生在Part3中也能够灵活运用上述答题技巧,便可以将这些题目变得简单,回答起来更容易。
在实战中,我们只要准确的运用这个技巧,就能做有思路回答问题,有了思路,放心大胆的张嘴去说吧!Say what you mean and mean what you say! 想你所说的,说你所想的!当然,在这里,我需要强调的是,只要是应试考试,就必然会存在一定的应试技巧。但口语能力的提高,依靠技巧仅仅是其中的一方面。口语能力提高的过程,是一个慢慢积累的过程,它还需要开放的语言环境、不断的练习与积极的交流。最后,祝大家在雅思口语考试中取得好成绩。、
