【雅思口语P2】Describe a time when you had to wait in a traffic jam

You should say

When it happened

Where it happened

How you passed the time while waiting

And explain how you felt when you were in that traffic jam.

The longest time I got stuck in traffic was about half a year ago. I am living in Shanghai and the traffic jams are quite very normal for people living around. So one hour traffic jams are quite average but I was stuck in a traffic jam once from 5 pm till 7pm in the heart of Xuhui District when I was on my way home. It was boring when you got stuck in the traffic jam because you got nothing interesting to do in a car. So I took out my phone and listened to music while chatted with my friends through Wechat, complaining the terrible traffic jam with them. Frankly speaking, I have never been happy in a traffic jam, it's a pain in the neck. It seems like it is taking longer every day to get to work and to go home. It is just getting worse. A year ago it took me 35 minutes to get to work and now it takes me 50 minutes to 1 hour to get to work. It wastes me a lot of time on the road. I guess it is due to the construction everywhere and the city population is growing rapidly.

You should say:

when it happened

where it happened

how you passed the time while waiting

and explain how you felt when you were in that traffic jam.

我遇到了塞车! I was tied up/held up in traffic.

早晚上下班时间,大都市freeway的车速比一般道路还要慢,无数车辆拥上来,造成bumper-to-bumper traffic(车的保险杆相互碰撞的交通状况),这时的车速叫snail-paced traffic(蜗牛步行的交通);或者干脆slows to a halt(动弹不得).这种塞车现象可以叫做traffic jam或traffic congestion;更严重的交通状况称为gridlock(严重塞车,僵局)

素材库 Where&When it happened?

I was caught in a traffic jam and showed up late to a movie.

I was stuck in a traffic jam on the way home from work. I listened to my favorite singer's album almost two whole times.

One day I was tied up in a traffic jam on my way to an appointment in City Center. I got increasingly frustrated sitting there as my mind started replaying all the mistakes I made last week.

The Longest time I got stuck in traffic was about a year ago. I am living in Beijing and the traffic jams are quite very normal for people living around. So one hour to two three hour traffic jams are quite average but i was stuck in a traffic jam once from 9 pm till 4am. I slept in the car on the main road.

This is something I really hate. To get stuck in a heavy traffic. When I was still employed, I got stuck in a heavy traffic for several times. The usual 1 and a half hour's trip to the office took me almost 4 hours and it was really traumatic.

It was a Sunday, but I was caught in a traffic jam. I was in the heart of the district of HaiDian. Rather than lose my cool and curse myself for having been at the wrong place at the wrong time, I was in a good mood and was a bit more reflective than usual.

I was caught in a traffic jam, believe it or not, the almost 20 minutes I was caught in a traffic jam really, really did disappoint me, it really did. Not that I wanted to stay inside that bus for the rest of my life.

素材库 how you passed the time while waiting?

I like waiting, even in traffic jams. It gives me a chance to listen the wonderful variety of radio programming available. Watching other drivers in the jam and wondering what their cell phone conversations are about is also entertaining. Come to think of it, waiting is sometimes better than not waiting.

During traffic, I usually talk on the cellphone, text message, play with my dog, eat a burger with fries, block my dog from my burger, do some palm reading.

I usually roll down the windows, turn my music up, bob my head side to side, and belt out. At least I'm entertaining to the other poor folks stuck in the jam with me.

I listen to the radio, make phone calls to my girlfriend or clients or family. If it's stopped, I do news paper word puzzles.

I usually channel surf the radio, comparing different traffic reports. When I get bored with that, I check out the drivers next to me and imagine what their life story is all about!

I dream about the day I can leave this place, move to a city where I can buy a house for what it's truly worth and where traffic doesn't dictate your ability to get anywhere at anytime in a decent amount of time.

I usually check out all the other drivers in their cars to see how they match up with the kind of car they drive. Maybe silly, but you can't very well do much else that's legal.

素材库 how you felt when you were in that traffic jam?

I have never been happy in a traffic jam; it's a pain in the neck. I want to jump out of the car and walk along the tops of all the other vehicles. If I'm in a Taxi, I will worry about the taxi fare.

I had a full tank of gas one time in traffic, and I was by myself, no kids, and I just sat there and relaxed and listened to my music. When there's nothing else you can do, there's the phone. It was actually nice! It doesn't bother me in the least, unless I’m trying to meet a deadline where other people are dependent upon me......

I hate them if I am busy. But love them if I have time. Especially if I have a friend in the car because that's a classic time to sing loudly.

I don't see much point in losing my cool over a traffic jam. I sigh, pick some music that I like out of the CD collection and either try to figure a way around the jam or wait it out.

I hate traffic jam. It seems like it is taking longer very day to get to work and to go home. It is just getting worse. A year ago it took me 35 minutes to get to work and now it takes me 50 minutes to 1 hour to get to work. It is driving me nuts. I guess it is due to the construction everywhere and the city population is growing rapidly. I have seen some aggressively drivers were speeding and illegally driving the wrong way trying to get to work on time. One driver cut in front of me without turning the signal on. I was close to an accident

I absolutely HATE when this happens! O.K. that said, generally I first turn up the music and pray for something really good to listen to, then as I crawl along toward the next exit I think of where I am, where I'm going and whether it's worth it to get off there. I often take the alternate route. So I learned to be patient by listening to the radio, or call someone on the cell phone. Sometimes I don't turn on the radio at all and go deep in thoughts or pray.

Part 3

1. When do traffic jams usually happen?

Watch out for traffic jams - especially in the middle of the city (around Siam Square) and around peak hours (morning and evening rush hour traffic). You can be jammed up really tight and everything will come down to a crawl if not a complete stand still.

Try not to take taxi during peak hour and on weekend night. You will easily be trapped for 1 hour inside a cab.

2. What are the causes of traffic jams?

rush hour, slow moving trucks, construction on the roads, cars with trailers, crash incidents, many pedestrians walking across a street after some sort of large meeting, bad weather, traffic lights malfunctioning, bike gangs, some sort of celebration taking place on a major road involving many vehicles and prohibiting vehicles not included in the celebration to get through, bad road planning, crime scene area prohibiting cars and pedestrians to pass by, many others.

what cause traffic jams everybody leaving at the same time and heading the same direction

Lots and lots of cars. Lot and lots of people who sit in the traffic jams and never learn that they are a major cause and insist on taking the same jammed roads at the same damned time. Poorly designed roads allow people to do stupid things in traffic that cause accidents. Stupid people who do stupid things in traffic regardless of the road design.

3. Do you think the problem of traffic congestion will be eased in the future or will it become worse?

population is increasing, children are growing up to teenagers and teenagers are growing up to adults, they get older they drive. People are relying on cars too much, this problem will become more and more serious.

4. What would you suggest as possible solutions to the problem of congested traffic?

1. reeducate all drivers, especially PUV drivers. strictly disapprove licenses of those who will fail exams.

2. make PUV drivers salaried employees, not paid based on the number of passengers.

3. instill road courtesy.

4. government should have an efficient flood control program.

5. computerize traffic lights.

6. instill discipline for both drivers and traffic enforcers.

7. improve road conditions.

1. Widen roads, build more skyways.

2. Build more overpass/underpass for pedestrians

3. Restrict buses, jeepneys and tricycles from highways or main roads.

4. Strictly enforce traffic rules and regulations

5. Mandatory driving tests to all driver's license applicants

6. Traffic policemen should know how to drive before they are eligible to direct traffic.

雅思口语高分句型有哪些

雅思口语高分句型套用技巧一、定语从句经典系列

① (名词或代词) is the kind of (person/place/thing…) who (which/that) is…

② (名词或代词) is a (person/ place…) who (which) gives you the impression of being…

③ (名词或代词)is one of the most (形容词) (名词) I have ever seen/met/known.

④ (地点名称) is a place where you can do sth.

⑤ (时间名词) is a day (occasion/the time) when you do sth.

说明:雅思口语话题频繁涉及人物,地点,物品,事件四大类,上表中的原句是在回答此类问题时多数考生使用的句型。其缺陷是过于简短,一不能体现语法优势,二不能凑字数争取时间。而套用句型后的表达效果就明显不一样了。可见,定语从句的使用在口语中可以起到“包装”作用。

雅思口语高分句型套用技巧二、名词性从句经典系列

① The reason why I (admire him/like the place…) is that +从句

② The most important thing is that+从句

③ Another thing is that+从句

④ What I mean is that + 从句

⑤ What I’d like to say is that +从句

以上名词性从句①到③是引出个人观点或信息时的过渡句型,在口语表达中可以起到建构框架,使条理清晰层次分明的作用。而④和⑤则是用于进一步解释说明。套用实例:

The reason why I admire Yaoming is that he is a legend and also a great guy. The most important thing is that he is one of China’s most recognizable athletes. What I mean is, his image can be seen everywhere, he is a household name. Another thing is that Yao has also participated in many charity events during his career. What I’d like to say is that he not only donated money to relief work, but also created a foundation to help those in need.

雅思口语满分技巧须知

雅思口语满分技巧1. 了解考场状况和考试流程,完全进入状态

考生在备考之前,一定要弄清楚考试的流程和考场的具体情况,一定要按照label上面的时间准时入场,进入考场之后调节自己的状态,放松自己的心情,不要让任何外界的因素影响自己的情绪。

雅思口语满分技巧2. 了解最近雅思口语题目的趋势,熟悉考题出现的规律

考生要在考试之前,多多留意最近的考题,特别是新题和生难题目,找到考题之后,根据自己的情况,为自己做出详细的解题策略,如有需要,可以在国外网站上面找些和题目有关的文章报道,拓宽这部分的知识面,有助于第三部分的进一步讨论和发挥。

雅思口语满分技巧3. 灵活应对考试中的疑难话题

疑难话题是大家拿到雅思口语满分的最大障碍,当你在考试的时候,遇到的题目是从来没有见过的,或者是自己比较生疏的话题,需要你灵活转换,但是当你无法做到灵活转化的时候,那就需要说一个最容易而且最能说出内容的话题。

比如你看到的题目是描述一个宠物,这时候假如你对这个话题的了解比较少,或者说没有准备过,那么在这种情况下,看是否能通过其他的话题进行一个比较完美的转化,如果你发现自己不管怎么转换,都觉得很牵强,那么就选择宠物里面最好描述,同时也是最容易进行扩展的动物,因此在宠物这个话题上,最好说的是狗,你可以谈它的品行、长相、特征。因为这个是你身边的东西,是你接触最多的东西。

雅思口语满分技巧4. 重视整个考试的开头和结尾

一个好的开头非常重要,进入考场之后,简单的寒暄就OK了,不要进行大面积的渲染和夸张,这样会让整个的考试非常尴尬。当考试结束的时候,也是简单的告别,不要说太多毫无意义的语言。

雅思口语满分技巧5.充分利用纸和笔

口语考试中的一张纸,就是第二部分开始的时候,考官会给你一张纸和一支笔,让你在思考的时候可以做一些笔记,有些考生觉得做笔记没什么意义,因为做完了之后,说的时候还是和笔记大相径庭,这说明考生在下面练习的时候没有很好的掌握通过看笔记说英语的习惯,因此在考场上才会觉得笔记没太大作用。

建议考生在平常练习第二部分话题的时候,养成做笔记的习惯,同时要掌握做笔记最有效的方法,是横向扩展,还是纵向排列,还是有自己独特的方法,只有练习多了,才能保证在考场上思维语言都流畅,才能有可能拿到雅思口语满分。

雅思口语满分技巧6. 提前准备适合自己的口语高分词汇

在备考的时候,准备一些常用的7分词汇和技巧,在适当的时候脱口而出,会给你的考试增光添色,同时要在考前的练习过程中,掌握好 paraphrase的方法,因为在考试的过程中,由于紧张或者是本身词汇的匮乏,在自己不会的单词上面会卡壳,而口语是相对比较灵活的,在这种情况下,需要我们用其他的话去替代那个卡壳的点,这样你的口语就会顺畅、自然。

雅思口语满分技巧7. 调节心理状态,不畏惧,不胆怯

雅思考试注重的是语言的应用性,因此在考场中的状态和心态对你的考试起到了举足轻重的作用,大部分的考生都没有参加过这样的口语考试,因此在考前对考试存在一种惧怕感,总是担心自己见到老外之后,可能会说的都会变成不会说的,这就是一种考试障碍,所以需要大家把自己的心态放平稳,一定要把口语考试当成是一个和考官的谈话,是和一个陌生人的谈话,仅此而已。把自己想说的,能说的,全都表达出来。
