在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中,考生對(duì)于比較難的問(wèn)題經(jīng)常會(huì)錯(cuò)誤理解,從而導(dǎo)致答題偏離方向,甚至令考官感到十分疑惑,不知道是由于考生沒(méi)有聽(tīng)懂詞匯,還是文化背景差異的問(wèn)題,總感覺(jué)考生的答案有些“文不對(duì)題”。很多考生反映,在考試過(guò)程中,尤其是口語(yǔ)第三部分,看到考官不斷皺眉頭,出現(xiàn)疑惑的表情。
在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中,考生對(duì)于比較難的問(wèn)題經(jīng)常會(huì)錯(cuò)誤理解,從而導(dǎo)致答題偏離方向,甚至令考官感到十分疑惑,不知道是由于考生沒(méi)有聽(tīng)懂詞匯,還是文化背景差異的問(wèn)題,總感覺(jué)考生的答案有些“文不對(duì)題”。很多考生反映,在考試過(guò)程中,尤其是口語(yǔ)第三部分,看到考官不斷皺眉頭,出現(xiàn)疑惑的表情。
其實(shí),文化背景的差異對(duì)于雅思口語(yǔ)考試的影響比重并不是那么大,不要?dú)w結(jié)到文化背景上來(lái),更多是由于考生的聽(tīng)力能力、答題用詞或短語(yǔ)的使用有問(wèn)題,再就是答題技巧和注意事項(xiàng)不夠明確,才會(huì)導(dǎo)致以上所說(shuō)的情況。
今天就為大家列舉高頻出錯(cuò)題目,并為大家一一講解如何在今后的考試中避免這樣的情況,達(dá)到比較理想的分?jǐn)?shù)。本篇主要針對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)第三部分的題目,以幫助考生們拔高分?jǐn)?shù),突破高分瓶頸。
首先,我們先來(lái)看下面的幾個(gè)口語(yǔ)問(wèn)題,請(qǐng)同學(xué)們?cè)囋嚮卮鹣旅娴膯?wèn)題,看看能否在短暫的反應(yīng)時(shí)間內(nèi),準(zhǔn)確而比較完整地答出來(lái)。
人物類:
Do you think people’s relationship with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?
Do you prefer to have one or two close friends or a wide circle of friends?
What kinds of people do children in China want to be similar to when they were young?
物品類:
What are the differences between men and women when they see a color?
What are the differences between buying something in a shopping mall and buying something online?
Do you think films have much influence on young people?
地點(diǎn)類:
Are the educational facilities in the countryside as good as those in the cities?
Tell me some movies or music about history in your country.
事件類:
Do you think parents should stop children from thinking too big?
Can people learn how to be happy?
Do you think music can be a source of pollution?
我們先來(lái)看人物類的話題,我們把其中的關(guān)鍵詞為大家標(biāo)明:
人物類:
Do you think people’s relationship with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?
在這個(gè)問(wèn)題中,強(qiáng)調(diào)的是現(xiàn)在與過(guò)去的一個(gè)比較,是否一致,提問(wèn)的是鄰里關(guān)系。很多考生感到無(wú)從下手,因?yàn)猷徖镪P(guān)系是我們考慮地很少的一個(gè)話題,因此容易答成“鄰里之間相互幫助、或者是鄰里之間比較陌生、不太溝通等等”。這樣回答忽略了比較,過(guò)去與現(xiàn)在的比較是答題的關(guān)鍵,我們要先說(shuō)明是否一致,再說(shuō)明若不一致的話具體體現(xiàn)在哪些方面,使用例子來(lái)證明,然后再說(shuō)原因,這樣才是一份比較好的答案。
Sample:
No, I don’t think it’s the same as that in the past. In the past, people had good relationship with neighbors, they chat with neighbors, had dinner or watched TV together with them on special holidays, but now they are unfamiliar with neighbors. It is because in the past, people lived in courtyards, they shared things with neighbors like the bathroom, the space for activities, and even only one TV set was owned in a family in a whole courtyard. But now they live in apartments, they do not have to share, so they want privacy.
What kinds of people do children in China want to be similar to when they were young?
在這個(gè)題目中,關(guān)鍵的部分是“什么樣的人”、“想與之相同”兩個(gè)點(diǎn)。很多同學(xué)認(rèn)為應(yīng)該答成“誠(chéng)實(shí)的人、樂(lè)觀的人、勇敢的人”;另外一個(gè)思路是答成“明星、導(dǎo)演、作家”。我們先來(lái)問(wèn)同學(xué)們:kinds of people應(yīng)該如何定義。按照人格來(lái)分,可以是各種好的人格、人品;而按照職業(yè)來(lái)分,可以分為明星、導(dǎo)演、作家等,那么,這個(gè)題如何答才合適呢?沒(méi)有小孩子希望成為“不誠(chéng)實(shí)、不樂(lè)觀和不勇敢的人”,所以說(shuō)人格、人品肯定不合適,而且這樣答太寬泛了。也就是說(shuō),這個(gè)題主要是說(shuō)職業(yè)或是社會(huì)身份,然后再簡(jiǎn)單給出原因即可。
Sample:
Well, children want to be similar to the great people in their mind, like teachers, scientists, sports stars or engineers. Because some of the children are influenced by their parents’ jobs, they regard parents as their heroes and models. Some of them just think stars or scientists are cool people.
再來(lái)看第二類,物品類:
物品類:
What are the differences between men and women when they see a color?
這個(gè)題目是比較難的,很多同學(xué)對(duì)于這個(gè)題到底問(wèn)哪方面感到困惑。其實(shí),在雅思口語(yǔ)問(wèn)題中,總會(huì)有問(wèn)題讓你感到困惑,因?yàn)榭脊賳?wèn)問(wèn)題的方式是不拘一格的。甚至有時(shí)候他們是即興發(fā)問(wèn),不要太糾結(jié)什么樣的答案才是所謂的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案,我們只要按照理解,答得比較清楚,讓考官明白,再配上些例子便于考官理解我們想說(shuō)什么就可以了?吹筋伾珪r(shí),男性和女性看到同一種顏色有什么不同,也就是問(wèn)不同的喜好和想法。因此,我們可以從這一方面入手:男性看到一種顏色時(shí),想到的是是否喜歡,然后是選擇這個(gè)顏色使用在什么東西上,然后女性則有什么不同。如果想成男性喜歡什么顏色而女性喜歡什么顏色,就偏題了。我們可以這樣回答:
Sample:
Men and women have differences on the taste of color. When they see a color, like blue, they will have different thoughts. Men like blue, and they prefer blue back pack, blue T-shirt. When women see blue, they will think if it is the prevailing color for the whole year, maybe they will choose blue high-heels or swimming suits.
What are the differences between buying something in a shopping mall and buying something online?
在這個(gè)題目中,很多同學(xué)答成了shopping mall的好處壞處,或者是online的好處壞處,這樣答沒(méi)有完全錯(cuò)誤,但是忽略了一點(diǎn),differences的題目要求學(xué)生找出其中的區(qū)別,兩個(gè)內(nèi)容相對(duì)著說(shuō),而不是分開(kāi),各自回答其優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。如果大家聽(tīng)到shopping mall和online就立刻作答,就有些偏題了。我們需要在幾個(gè)方面來(lái)對(duì)比兩種不同購(gòu)物方式的區(qū)別:比如價(jià)格,方便程度,產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量等等。
Sample:
There are differences between buying things in shopping mall or online. First, it is much cheaper to buy the same thing online than in the shopping mall. I think it is because of the rent fee or other high cost in shopping mall. Second, it is convenient to shop online, I mean, you can surf the Internet on the bus, at home or in restaurant, but when you go to the shopping mall, you have to go far distance. But the quality of products is generally better than that online.
Do you think films have much influence on young people?
這個(gè)題目中,問(wèn)的是對(duì)于年輕人來(lái)說(shuō)電影有沒(méi)有很大的影響,那么對(duì)于小孩子的常用思路:媒體暴力、小孩子潛意識(shí)的模仿就不是重點(diǎn)了。Young people一般指的是年齡在十幾歲到三十幾歲的人,可以積極、消極影響都說(shuō)一下,大家不要完全把young people說(shuō)成children,或者包含children。
Sample:
Yes, films have much influence on young people. Most of films are educational, they teach some historical knowledge or encourage people to learn the positive theme like being optimistic or strong, pursuing true love. However, some of the violence in films have harmful influence on young people. Violence shots are exciting, but we’d better keep away from them.
地點(diǎn)類:
Are the educational facilities in the countryside as good as those in the cities?
同樣,這個(gè)題又是比較,因此大家要記住類比著說(shuō)。此外,很多同學(xué)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)清楚是facilities就開(kāi)始作答了。什么是facilities?是否包含老師、學(xué)生成績(jī)和考試制度?這些不屬于facilities。那么,大家如果答出這些,考官就會(huì)判定為,要么你不認(rèn)識(shí)facilities這個(gè)詞,要么你的回答偏題了。因此考官就會(huì)出現(xiàn)疑惑的表情,甚至有的考官會(huì)說(shuō):Sorry, I mean facilities. 建議大家答出實(shí)驗(yàn)器材、電腦、多媒體教室、操場(chǎng)、圖書(shū)館等等即可。
Sample:
Actually no. I don’t think educational facilities are as good as those in cities. There are not advanced equipments in the laboratory like microscope, and not enough computers or multimedia classrooms, that’s why we all believe schools in cities are better.
Tell me some movies or music about history in your country.
這個(gè)題目比較難,很多學(xué)生不知道或者根本沒(méi)有看過(guò)關(guān)于歷史的電影,大家喜歡輕松愉快的喜劇或愛(ài)情劇,驚悚刺激的恐怖片,或者新奇的科幻電影,卻唯獨(dú)不關(guān)注歷史題材的影片。音樂(lè)也是如此。那么,能否說(shuō)抗日戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期的呢?或者更早的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)等題材呢?其實(shí),首先你要保證可以說(shuō)出比較多的內(nèi)容,不至于辭窮;其次,可以說(shuō)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)題材,其實(shí)有關(guān)歷史人物的會(huì)更容易一些,比如關(guān)于屈原,關(guān)于各朝代皇帝,或是關(guān)于近代人物的都可以。請(qǐng)看下面的范例:
We have a lot of movies and songs about history, like the history of war period, and historical figures. I remember a famous movie called Quyuan. It tells the story of a famous Chinese poet Quyuan. He loved his country very much, but he was alienated by the royal family in that dynasty. He witnessed his country was invaded, he wrote poems and suicide in Miluo River. Today’s Dragon Boat Day is to memorize this great poet. That’s a small part of Chinese culture.
事件類:
Do you think parents should stop children from thinking too big?
這個(gè)題比較難。很多同學(xué)不知道應(yīng)該答yes還是no, 因?yàn)楦杏X(jué)兩方面都不好答。首先,什么是thinking too big?加了too這個(gè)程度,也就是說(shuō)比較不合理的想法了,因?yàn)樵谟⑽闹衪oo一般表示程度過(guò)了,不合適了這樣的含義。當(dāng)談到父母加以干涉時(shí),學(xué)生的常用思路就是感覺(jué)不應(yīng)該,因此就矛盾了,不知道這個(gè)題該怎么答。其實(shí),我們可以從too big舉例子入手。怎樣屬于thinking too big呢?比如說(shuō),小孩子想當(dāng)一名宇航員,這個(gè)想法就比較難以實(shí)現(xiàn);還有小孩子想當(dāng)一個(gè)國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人,這樣的想法也是屬于too big。有什么壞處呢?主要是難以實(shí)現(xiàn),因此中途會(huì)放棄,這樣會(huì)養(yǎng)成容易知難而退的習(xí)慣。其實(shí),回答yes會(huì)比較容易一些。
Sample:
Yes, I think parents should stop children from thinking too big. Because children are not mature, they make themselves unrealistic ambitions or plans. It is acceptable, but if the ambitions or plans are too big, they have too many difficulties when they want to prepare for these. When they know they have to abandon halfway, or it is impossible for them, they will feel disappointed. They may easily abandon something, even the reasonable ambitions in their future.
Can people learn how to be happy?
這個(gè)題目通常會(huì)讓學(xué)生感到辭窮,因?yàn)閘earn是一個(gè)理解上的障礙。請(qǐng)問(wèn),learn的意思是什么?如果你認(rèn)為是學(xué)習(xí)文化課,那么就太狹義了。learn有很多的途徑,比如說(shuō)通過(guò)自學(xué)、聽(tīng)別人說(shuō)、自己想辦法或自創(chuàng)都可以這樣理解。還有,happy的含義比較廣泛,一時(shí)間被問(wèn)到會(huì)感覺(jué)比較難想到具體的內(nèi)容。其實(shí),我們可以類比為另外一個(gè)題:
What are the ways of relaxing yourself?
這個(gè)題是不是容易得多呢?大家都能想到聽(tīng)音樂(lè)、看電影、讀書(shū)、做運(yùn)動(dòng)、旅游等等,其實(shí),這些也屬于learn to be happy。我們可以這樣回答,同時(shí),也可以講一點(diǎn)人生哲學(xué),如果以你的英文水平可以描述清楚的話,可以為自己加分。比如說(shuō),如果我們對(duì)目前的生活感到很滿足,就會(huì)覺(jué)得很快樂(lè);如果我們很不容易得到一個(gè)成功,就會(huì)覺(jué)得很快樂(lè)?聪旅娴姆独
Yes, people can learn how to be happy. They can find ways to relax themselves. They can listen to music, play games or sports, watch movies or have parties. People can treat themselves well. What’s more, if they feel satisfied to their current life, and do not always complain something, they will feel happier. I’ve read it from a book that if we get a success after painstaking work, we will feel very happy. In these ways, people can gain happiness.
Do you think music can be a source of pollution?
music等于pollution? 這是學(xué)生覺(jué)得不可思議的話題。因?yàn)榇蠹覍?duì)于常見(jiàn)的音樂(lè)類思路,比如Part 1 Do you like music? What kind of music do you like? Why people of different ages like different music? 這些話題中,music都以正面示人,毫無(wú)負(fù)面影響。其實(shí),我們習(xí)慣于答一些音樂(lè)可以使人放松、使人興奮等等的話題,卻忽略了pollution這樣嚴(yán)重的消極字眼。在口語(yǔ)課堂上,有的學(xué)生聽(tīng)到pollution, 就立刻說(shuō)自己不知道該怎么答了。大家有沒(méi)有想過(guò)廣場(chǎng)舞的音樂(lè)?有沒(méi)有想過(guò)噪聲污染這個(gè)話題呢?有沒(méi)有想過(guò)酒吧附近居民的感想?有沒(méi)有想過(guò)那些唱歌跑調(diào)的人給我們?cè)斐傻膫?那么,在這些層面上,music就是pollution。我們可以這樣回答,既輕松有趣,又可以邏輯清晰而辯證:
Sample:
Yes, sometimes. We all know music is soft or exciting, it is good for us. But when the music is too loud, especially in public, it is a source of pollution, that’s noise pollution. The square dance music, the pub music, are too loud and disturb the residents nearby. I’ve watched a piece of news of the complaint from a community near a pub. Music will be terrible if the singers are off the key. In karaoke, my friends, some of my friends are off-key singers. Their music is undoubtedly pollution.
綜上所述,在應(yīng)對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)考試的時(shí)候,對(duì)于比較難的第三部分的問(wèn)題,考生們要先聽(tīng)懂問(wèn)題,若實(shí)在沒(méi)有確定好其含義或沒(méi)有明白,可以提問(wèn)以求確定,然后盡量避免在沒(méi)有想清楚或是沒(méi)有反應(yīng)出一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞的含義時(shí),草率作答。對(duì)于以上例題的分析,需要大家明確的是,抓住問(wèn)題中的關(guān)鍵詞是非常重要的,此外,盡量以例子來(lái)使自己的答案更清楚、更“接地氣”,然后借用雅思寫(xiě)作中的一些答題思路,使用簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言,將自己的見(jiàn)解表達(dá)清楚,這樣才能在第三部分提高分?jǐn)?shù),達(dá)到拔高的效果。在上面的這些題目和分析中,我們不難看出,雅思口語(yǔ)第三部分的問(wèn)題難度是在增加的,尤其是近期所出現(xiàn)的話題,有抽象的比如happiness,有令人困惑的比如音樂(lè)噪音等等,這些都是我們平時(shí)在準(zhǔn)備時(shí)需要多考慮,多練習(xí)的。很多同學(xué)由于在平時(shí)的備考中,過(guò)于偏重第二部分的準(zhǔn)備,導(dǎo)致一、二、三部分不均衡,第三部分完全暴露了自己的英語(yǔ)臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮能力缺陷,因此直接影響了第二部分的成績(jī)。其實(shí),大家只要平時(shí)多思考問(wèn)題,結(jié)合雅思寫(xiě)作中關(guān)于社會(huì)話題的分析,多積累素材,是可以應(yīng)對(duì)這些題目的。
