雅思口语考试持续时间约为11到14分钟,经历三个部分,其中第6分钟开始的Part 2一直让众多烤鸭们黯然神伤。与Part 1和Part 3不同,这一部分考官不参与讨论,全听考生个人独白。考生相当于需要用英语进行两分钟的即兴演讲,语言的组织能力以及流畅性将会在此部分尽显无遗。
古今兵法有言:不打无准备之仗。考试前对Part 2卡片题做好充分准备是必要的,也是可能的。说其可能,因为卡片题中规中矩,分类清晰,万变不离其宗,不像Part 3, 可能出现考官灵活“变招”,应接不暇的情况。这两个特点决定了Part 2理应成为广大烤鸭们备考的重点。
噪音,音乐,自然之声,在雅思考题中,围绕着这些话题展开的题目都具有很大的挑战性,学生不但缺乏相关的词汇,句型,更缺乏相关的知识,所以也一直沦为魔鬼话题。那么今天,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师将向烤鸭们介绍一下该如何应对这类话题。
Describe a sound in nature, 其实拿到这个题目的时候,我们可以先去头脑风暴一下能不能找到该话题与我们已经准备过话题之间的联系。举个例子来说,公共交通这个话题相信很多烤鸭们一定非常熟悉,可是和自然之声有何关系呢?仔细想想不难发现,我们乘坐交通工具,subway, bus, train, 甚至骑车的时候,耳边拂过风的声音不就是美丽的自然之声吗?
THE SOUND FROM WIND makes a melody through wind when you are riding on a bicycle. By using principles of the instruments such as the Flute or the Ocarina, it makes Analog sound, not Digital sound. You can use buttons on the handle in order to makes various melodies. When you are on the road with THE SOUND FROM WIND, You will be a musician. Because the road is a concert hall and bicycle is an instrument of orchestra. Performance is simple. Sound and volume can be controlled by your fingers and speed of bicycle. That is to say, THE SOUND FROM WIND is the instrument which uses your whole body.
又或者是准备天气话题时,烤鸭们一定记得准备过雨如何影响人们生活的话题。
When it comes to this topic, I would like to talk about my favorite natural sound -----rainfall. There are many degrees of rainfall, from light rain to torrential downpour, to thunderstorm, and I love them all. I also enjoy the way in which the sound of rain varies depending upon where you are, for example inside of a building, in a car, or under an umbrella. I particularly enjoy listening to a thunderstorm from my room late at night. It makes me feel calm and puts me right to sleep.
朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生们一定要就上述的几个部分做好详细的联想准备,才能在考场中轻松应对这类考题,现在这些魔鬼考题不断的在考场中出现,频率也呈上升趋势,所以烤鸭们一定要对这类声音类话题提高警惕。
