雅思口語|拒絕尬聊，Hometown話題你得這么說

雅思考試四項之中，貌似是最考驗RP值的一環(huán)。運氣好的時候，能遇見又高又帥又和善的英國小哥，運氣不好的時候也有可能遇見一個語速超常、全程面癱、還不斷打斷你的“糟老頭”。萬一再遇上個不擅長的話題，比如hometown，還真是怕你撐不下去，“尬聊要如何結束”...

很多同學在考雅思的時候會覺得無話可說。面對很多話題，同學們只能說出寥寥數(shù)語，而且絕大多數(shù)同學所說的內容基本雷同。如a famous animal in China，中國學生的標準答案就是panda，而且關于panda，同學們除了說出 It has white body and black eyes 或者 It's cute 之外，幾乎沒有區(qū)別于其他同學的內容。

乳齒相似的答案，是不是讓口語考官也很尷尬——這分數(shù)是指定高不了的。

中未必一定要說“真話”。因為通常，真話是我們根本就不了解這個話題，就算能說出來，恐怕和其他學生也差不多，是一個既無趣又單調的答案。這樣一個答案，在雅思考試中肯定不能獲得理想的分數(shù)。所以，只要答案是合情合理，前后不矛盾，我們就可以使用。總之，在談話中，我們要做的只是一個忠實的 story teller。

在雅思口語PART 1考試中，涉及到的話題基本與生活實際相關，今天的這篇文章就 hometown 這個話題給大家做幾個示范，希望各位寶寶們能領會到其中的精髓。 

雅思口語話題：Hometown

1.Would a foreign visitor enjoy them?

Well, I am quite sure that most foreigners would find those places attractive. Not only are the insides of these places amazing, there are also many souvenir stores, so they could buy some for their friends. Moreover, there are various food stands along the street so that they would be able to taste the Tianjin local food.

2.Did you learn much about the history of your hometown in school?

Actually, I am a high school teacher now and the teachers don’t teach the history of Tianjin because we focus on the College Entrance Exam, so it is such a shame that I haven’t learnt much about the history of my own hometown.

3. For you, what benefits are there to living in a big city?

Firstly, I think it is education. Schools in big cities are relatively better than those in rural areas. For example, some countryside schools don’t teach English as a second language, however, in cities, English is a compulsory subject. Secondly, I would say shopping. The city has a great number of shopping centers and department stores while on the other hand town may only have limited ones.  

4.What facilities does your hometown have?

As far as I know, Tianjin has lots of wonderful facilities, but I would say that hospital would be useful. Tianjin is an international city, so literally the medical equipment in hospitals is technologically advanced. I assume another helpful facility might be the libraries that offer people to read millions of various books.

5.What forms of transport do visitors use to come to your hometown?

Normally, people would use a mixed way of transportation when visiting my hometown. However, I think the most popular method would be the underground because it is faster and has short waiting time. Besides, I guess bus is ok since it is cheaper. So I think underground and bus are commonly-used.

6.Has the weather in your hometown changed much in recent years?

Of course, when I was a child, the winter was so cold and I used to wear two woolen leggings inside my trousers, whereas, now I usually only wear a cotton legging inside my jeans. This means the temperature is increasing in winter.

“張開嘴”多練習

不管參加什么類型的口語考試，開口說話是最為重要的事。只要開口練習，你就有機會將輸入變?yōu)檩敵�，及時發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在詞匯量和語法上的問題，然后集中精力針對不同話題去積累詞匯和素材，不斷糾正時態(tài)誤用、主謂不一致等語法錯誤。

因此，考前考生一定要進行大量的口語練習，每天保證進行至少三個不同類別話題的問答練習。當然，考生可以根據自己的備考時間進行靈活調整，但務必在考前盡可能熟悉各個類別的話題，這樣才能在考試時做到了然于心。此外，不斷的練習也有助于考生增強信心，使考生在考試時表現(xiàn)得更加自然，不會過分緊張。
