雅思口語(yǔ)抽象話題技巧
雅思口語(yǔ)抽象話題怎樣能說(shuō)得具體一文告訴了我們雅思口語(yǔ)中的2大難點(diǎn)話題之一——抽象類話題的化抽象為具象的具體方法思路。下面小編就和大家分享雅思口語(yǔ)抽象話題怎樣能說(shuō)得具體，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
雅思口語(yǔ)抽象話題怎樣能說(shuō)得具體?
雅思口語(yǔ)話題中有很多是顯得很抽象，考生在看到這些話題的時(shí)候，很大部分人都不知道該如何做才能把抽象化為具體。下面就為大家整理了相關(guān)資料讓大家把抽象的雅思口語(yǔ)話題化為具體。
下面舉一個(gè)在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中出現(xiàn)的話題：How popular are brand names where you live?
即“名牌在你住的地方有多受歡迎?”。很多考生這個(gè)時(shí)候就會(huì)很簡(jiǎn)單的回答“Very popular”或者“Not very popular”，然后絞盡腦汁萬(wàn)般無(wú)奈中又加上一句“I (don’t) like brand names”。
這樣的雅思口語(yǔ)話題無(wú)疑就是非常抽象的。如果考生的回答過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單的，考官一般也就會(huì)認(rèn)為考生的英語(yǔ)水平非?；?。要知道，一旦和basic搭上邊，考分就在5分封頂了。
所謂“化抽象為具體”就是要舉例說(shuō)明。如果你說(shuō)很多年輕人寧愿餐餐吃泡面，也要買名牌手袋，那么考官自然就能感受到名牌對(duì)人們來(lái)說(shuō)是多么重要。反過(guò)來(lái)，如果你說(shuō)很多人腰纏萬(wàn)貫，卻能在超市里隨便買件t-shirt穿著，那么你就很明白的告訴了別人名牌產(chǎn)品在社會(huì)中影響力并不是那么大的。
再舉個(gè)常見的雅思口語(yǔ)話題的例子，描述自己的家鄉(xiāng)，要描寫一個(gè)旅行中去過(guò)的地方。如果不能化抽象為具體，我們就只能說(shuō)某某地方很美，說(shuō)beautiful, fabulous, gorgeous 這些，即使加上諸如wonderful, amazing, fantastic這樣的表示驚嘆的詞語(yǔ)，然后還是沒什么說(shuō)的。
如果描寫上海是個(gè)摩登大都市，我們可以舉外灘這個(gè)例子，說(shuō)說(shuō)那里有古老的歐洲建筑，有零零總總的各大銀行，還有各式的高級(jí)商鋪。雖然只是描繪了上海的某一個(gè)地方，但是對(duì)于聽眾來(lái)說(shuō)，已經(jīng)為他描述了一幅栩栩如生的畫面。這樣的描述就比較到位了，同時(shí)也避免了無(wú)話可說(shuō)的尷尬局面。
這兩種化抽象為具體的雅思口語(yǔ)話題的例子告訴我們，其實(shí)，這樣的轉(zhuǎn)換也就是考生的思路和表達(dá)方式的轉(zhuǎn)化，之后大家不僅有話可以說(shuō)了，而且知道可以怎么說(shuō)，也就可以順利完成雅思口語(yǔ)考試了。
舉例
Describe a success in your life是雅思口語(yǔ)話題卡事件類的一道常青樹考題。作為一個(gè)抽象類的題目，很多雅思考生反映比較難以描述。其實(shí)只要遵循一個(gè)原則，即“抽象問題具象化，復(fù)雜問題簡(jiǎn)單化”就可以順利的把成功這張?jiān)掝}卡片描述得生動(dòng)。
對(duì)于第二種成功，我們可以理解為自己設(shè)定的目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)。正所謂，一千人眼中有一千個(gè)不同的哈姆雷特。每個(gè)人對(duì)成功的定義都不一樣，每個(gè)人都有自己的成功。可以描述的有：
成功的掌握了一項(xiàng)技能：做飯/開車/游泳(=a skill you want to learn)
成功的做了一個(gè)東西：禮物/手工藝品/車模/航模 (= a handicraft)
成功戒煙/戒酒/戒游戲/減肥/克服羞澀(= change in life/something difficult you did well)
成功指導(dǎo)或幫助別人戒煙/戒酒/戒游戲/減肥/克服羞澀(=someone you helped)
成功地維權(quán)(=something you bought but you were not happy with，講買的東西有質(zhì)量問題，不滿意，要求索賠，終成功)
成功地脫險(xiǎn)(=an unforgettable event)
成功地與病魔抗?fàn)?=a change in life, a happy moment, a piece of good news)
以下是一篇雅思口語(yǔ)范文，以減肥為例：
Describe a success in your life.
You should say:
What was it
When did you get this success
How to get it
And explain with whom/what did you do in this success
分析：該題要求描述過(guò)去的一次成功經(jīng)歷，以上所述話題準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容均適用，注意時(shí)態(tài)的正確選用，講清楚成功的來(lái)龍去脈即可。
I never exercised, and most days I just stayed at home watching TV. I didn't realize I'd gained weight until I tried to zip up my favorite pair of jeans. When I couldn't get the zipper to go all the way up, I panicked and decided I had to take action at once. So I made a weight loss plan which was actually quite simple, eat less and exercise more.
我從不鍛煉，大部分時(shí)間我只是呆在家里看電視。直到我試著拉上我最喜歡的牛仔褲的拉鏈，我才意識(shí)到我的體重增加了。當(dāng)我拉不上拉鏈時(shí)，我驚慌失措，決定立刻采取行動(dòng)。所以我制定了一個(gè)減肥計(jì)劃，其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單，少吃多運(yùn)動(dòng)。
Well, what has been the big success that makes me proud of in my life? It definitely goes to my weight loss story. This past summer vacation, I gained 10 kilograms because all I did
那么，在我的一生中，有什么大的成功讓我感到驕傲呢?這肯定和我的減肥故事有關(guān)。去年暑假，因?yàn)槲宜龅囊磺校以黾恿?0公斤
First of all, I quit snacking at night, which was what caused me to gain weight in the first place. I cut out all empty calories from my diet (fast food, sweets, soda, etc.) and really focused on only eating clean nutrient dense foods. Second, I made it a rule to go swimming every morning. As hard as it was in the beginnings I didn't give up when things got tough.
首先，我晚上不再吃零食，這是我體重增加的首要原因。我從我的飲食中剔除了所有的空熱量(快餐、糖果、汽水等)，只專注于吃干凈營(yíng)養(yǎng)豐富的食物。其次，我養(yǎng)成了每天早上去游泳的習(xí)慣。盡管一開始很艱難，但當(dāng)事情變得艱難時(shí)，我沒有放棄。
I persevered because I know there are no shortcuts to losing weight. In two months, I managed to lose eight kilos. The changes were incredible, which was amazing, really! What's more, I am healthier than ever before. I feel much more athletic now. I have an overall sense of well being that I never experienced when I was heavier. I have so much more energy and I also sleep better. And the most important thing is, I gained confidence from successfully solving my problem.
我堅(jiān)持下來(lái)，因?yàn)槲抑罍p肥沒有捷徑。在兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間里，我成功地減掉了8公斤。變化是難以置信的，這是驚人的，真的!更重要的是，我比以前更健康。我現(xiàn)在覺得運(yùn)動(dòng)能力好多了。我有一種整體上的幸福感，這是我重的時(shí)候從來(lái)沒有過(guò)的。我有更多的精力，我也睡得更好。最重要的是，我從成功地解決我的問題中獲得了信心。
I feel especially flatted when others can hardly believe I was a much bigger girl. It was really a success.
當(dāng)別人很難相信我是一個(gè)大得多的女孩時(shí)，我感到特別沮喪。這真的是一次成功。
提高雅思口語(yǔ)成績(jī)一定要找外國(guó)人對(duì)話?
這次我們來(lái)解決一位雅思考生的求助：特意找了外國(guó)人練口語(yǔ)，雅思口語(yǔ)成績(jī)卻連0.5分都沒有提高。我還要繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持下去嗎?提高口語(yǔ)能力真的必須跟外國(guó)人對(duì)話嗎?
提高英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)能力一定要和外國(guó)人對(duì)話?事實(shí)可能恰恰相反。
外國(guó)人的意會(huì)能力其實(shí)特別強(qiáng)，即使你的話語(yǔ)錯(cuò)漏百出，在一定的語(yǔ)境下，外國(guó)人還是能明白你的意思，并且能夠給予一定的回應(yīng)。
當(dāng)然，除非你的交流對(duì)象是一位一對(duì)一口語(yǔ)課老師，否則一般人不會(huì)對(duì)你的錯(cuò)誤提出任何修改意見(因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)能“意會(huì)”你的意思并與你繼續(xù)交流了)，所以你會(huì)犯錯(cuò)的還是會(huì)繼續(xù)犯錯(cuò)。同時(shí)，你會(huì)因此造成一種膨脹的錯(cuò)覺：我與外國(guó)人溝通無(wú)障礙。
真正口語(yǔ)水平的提高，不能光依靠與外國(guó)人對(duì)話——更何況這不是每個(gè)中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)者都可以擁有的環(huán)境。提高英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)水平，需要材料的輸入，需要有效的反饋。
1 材料的輸入
在缺乏英文語(yǔ)境的情況下，最理想的提高口語(yǔ)的方法是利用各種原汁原味的多媒體素材(書籍、聽力音頻、電視劇，電影，講座，新聞等等)去積累和練習(xí)。
朗讀與背誦
朗讀及背誦是最基礎(chǔ)、最傳統(tǒng)又十分有效的提升語(yǔ)感和流利度的方法。在本人讀中學(xué)的年代，早讀材料就是這些。
當(dāng)然，所謂“背誦”不是說(shuō)全篇一字不漏地背下來(lái)，背誦是可以有多種玩法的。你可以只背一段你自己喜歡的、比較多生詞的、比較容易記的——你自己選擇;或者你可以理解了全文的觀點(diǎn)以后利用文章的某些語(yǔ)句加上你自己的理解復(fù)述下來(lái)。
觀看影視作品，模仿在特定語(yǔ)境下的一些英文表達(dá)方式
朗讀與背誦篇章的方法可以讓你積累好詞好句和提高流利度，而通過(guò)英語(yǔ)視頻你能夠?qū)W習(xí)更地道的口語(yǔ)表達(dá)。關(guān)鍵是你能夠?qū)W會(huì)在某種情境下，英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)使用者是怎么回應(yīng)的。在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，融會(huì)貫通的能力很重要。如果你留心的話，你會(huì)發(fā)覺有一些口語(yǔ)表達(dá)在不同影視作品中都有出現(xiàn)過(guò)。這些口語(yǔ)表達(dá)是很常用、很地道的，你可以把它們積累下來(lái)，并且自編自導(dǎo)自演某個(gè)場(chǎng)景，像演戲一樣把這個(gè)對(duì)白說(shuō)出來(lái)。
例1：從 2 Broke Girls(破產(chǎn)姐妹)里, 我學(xué)到了一個(gè)說(shuō)法：Just because … that doesn't…(不能因?yàn)閄.X.X就X.X.X呀!)
然后在電影500 Days of Summer(和莎莫的500天)里我又碰見了同樣的說(shuō)法。
于是我的印象會(huì)非常深刻，我學(xué)到了教科書上、英語(yǔ)課堂上可能學(xué)不到的句型。又查閱了一些資料，發(fā)現(xiàn)有時(shí)“that”也可以省略。經(jīng)過(guò)這番學(xué)習(xí)后，我可以自己創(chuàng)設(shè)一些場(chǎng)景造句把這個(gè)句型用起來(lái)：
Just because most women choose to get married, (that) doesn't mean I should do the same thing.
Just because you fail this time, (that) doesn't mean you have to quit.
例2：在Desperate Housewives(絕望主婦)里，我見過(guò)無(wú)數(shù)次這個(gè)說(shuō)法：Is it just me or…(只有我一個(gè)人覺得X.X.X嗎?)
所以，我懂得了原來(lái)外國(guó)人表達(dá)“只有我一個(gè)人覺得X.X.X嗎?”“你不覺得X.X.X嗎?”“到底是我的原因還是真的X.X.X呢”之類的意思時(shí)，可以用這個(gè)句型。我開始腦補(bǔ)一些場(chǎng)景自己造句：
Is it just me or is she weird today?
Is it just me or is the floor really slippery?
例3：通過(guò)觀看Emma Watson 在訪談節(jié)目Ellen Show上的訪問，我能學(xué)到：be like可以用于引述說(shuō)話或想法。
于是，我開始自編自導(dǎo)自演造句：
At that time, everybody was frustrated. Suddenly, he stood up and encouraged us to cheer up. He was like, "Come on, guys! We can make it!"
2 有效的反饋
自我檢查
對(duì)于有一定基礎(chǔ)和能力的學(xué)習(xí)者，你可以選擇錄音并自己重聽，你應(yīng)該有能力發(fā)現(xiàn)一些基本錯(cuò)誤，例如he/she混淆，三單缺s，時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤等等。
專業(yè)反饋
當(dāng)然，對(duì)于大部分學(xué)員，如果想得到更精準(zhǔn)的反饋和建議，需要請(qǐng)老師幫你聽錄音并糾正。傳統(tǒng)課程、網(wǎng)課、一對(duì)一、小班都可以，需要要花費(fèi)一定的價(jià)錢，但你將能得到你自己自學(xué)或單純與外國(guó)人瞎(尬)聊所不能獲得的反饋，相信這是值得的。
綜上所述，通過(guò)有效的積累、總結(jié)和模仿，加上有效的反饋，我相信就算缺乏英語(yǔ)交流環(huán)境也可以練成地道的口語(yǔ)。
雅思口語(yǔ)高頻話題：想見的外國(guó)名人
Describe a famous person (not in your country) that you would like to meet in person.
You should say:
Who the person is;
What the person does;
How you got to know about him or her;
And explain why you want to meet the person.
這個(gè)雅思口語(yǔ)可以關(guān)聯(lián)的話題是：Describe a band or a singer that you like.
這個(gè)雅思口語(yǔ)Part2的核心內(nèi)容：
What the person does
Why you want to meet the person
雅思口語(yǔ)核心內(nèi)容如何體現(xiàn)：
- 描述此人做的事(what) +描述人(person )+自己的評(píng)價(jià)和感受(why)，答合并Describe a band or a singer you like 話題。
- 對(duì)人的描述可自由發(fā)揮，參考回答偏重描述性格，也可參考Describe a person you have seen who is beautiful or handsome中描述外貌的語(yǔ)料。
Sample
I’d like to talk about one of my idols, Justin Bieber. He’s a famous singer and songwriter in Canada.
If memory serves correctly ,I discovered him about 9 years ago when his song, “Baby” went viral on the internet. The song is all about understanding and exploring the concept of love, mainly the ambivalence a teenage boy feels for his first love . It’s quite a brainwashing song and I could sing along soon when listening to it. I became obsessed with the song because of its appealing melody and its catchy lyrics.
It was after hearing “Baby” that I began to familiarize myself with Justin Bieber and his songs. What is most interesting about Justin is that he isn’t only known for his numerous hits, but also his controversial personal life. He went through ups and downs after being famous overnight. In fact, he’s now far from the immature and
inexperienced young boy. If you don't know him, you must be amazed by his rich life experiences and various music styles, and you wouldn’t peg him as being a 24-year -old young man.
I think Justin Bieber is extremely creative and has written tons of beautiful and touching songs, which has helped him grow a population of true die-hard fans. I really hope I can meet him in person one day. I would ask him to take a selfie with me, and brag about that for the rest of my life. I also have a few questions to ask him, like where he gets inspiration for his songs.
