优秀考生能够运用丰富的词汇,在雅思口语第二部分无论遇到什么话题都能流利地表达自己的观点。而且,他们会每天看时事或听新闻,了解世界上正在发生的事情。这意味着当他们拿到第二部分的话题卡时,脑海中立刻会浮现出很多想法。只要经常进行流畅度训练,就能将许多高级词汇运用到句子中,并能够使用各种不同的动词时态和条件句。
在第二部分开始前,考官会先说明题目要求,例如:“And now here’s your topic. I’d like you to talk about a news story that interested you.”
以福岛核泄漏事件为例,考生在话题卡上写下了下面这些单词:
nuclear disaster (核灾难)
safety (安全)
radiation – vegetables – traces (辐射-蔬菜-痕迹)
contamination (污染)
wind (风)ocean (海洋)
tsunami (海啸)media (媒体)
A news story that real ly impressed me in 2011 was about the nuclear disaster in Japan, in Fukushima. Um, I remember very clearly that night, when the news came out, I was at a bar in Shuang jing, and we started getting news. People were receiving news on their phones. Some people were trying… onto the net. They were going online, and I know my first reaction was to call my mum and to ask her to close the windows in the house and also I remember texting my best friend who has a young brother and, you know, sort of saying to her, “Hey, you need to check out what’s happening online. Maybe there’s a nuclear disaster happening in Japan.” And in fact here in China we were lucky. I mean the wind blew a lot of the, um, the radiation into the ocean rather than towards us here, but even in China they found there had been some traces of radiation in vegetables. But I mean it was an absolutely terrible disaster and the Japanese people were…
Actually my dad has been to Sendai. It’s so heavily populated… The whole of Japan, it’s not a very big country in terms of landmass, but it’s got a big population, and people were overwhelmed. That tsunami, terrible… The farmers that lived in that area, I mean they couldn’t leave their land because otherwise who would feed their animals and so they just had to kind of sit there and hope for the best. So it was a terrible disaster, and of course it has made people all around the world much more cautious about nuclear power… Um, I saw on CCTV 9 that people in Europe are worried about nuclear power at the moment too, and they want to get rid of their nuclear reactors.
1) 注意news 和story 要连读。
2) 表示要结合个人的经历来谈论,增加了生动性及可信度。
3) 进行时态是中国学生时常忘记使用的时态。
4) 一句话中进行不同时态的转换,可以起到放慢语速的作用。
5) you know 用来填充思维出现的短暂空白。
6) 不关注新闻就很难积累到radiation(放射)这样的词汇。
7) rather than 表示转折,这种表达对中国学生来说比较新颖。
8) there be 句型和完成时态的结合,表示一种客观事物已存在一段时间。
9) 表示程度严重的时候,heavily是比较合适的选择。另外,“大雨”是heavy rain 而不是big rain。
10) overwhelm 表示受到了程度比较大的打击,同时具有强调结果很严重的意味。
11) 说明该考生兴趣面很广,因为他不仅知道福岛的情况,也知道其他国家对此事的反应。
