第4章 雅思口語考試Part2全解析

對(duì)于雅思口語考試Part 2，很少有人能在沒有準(zhǔn)備的情況下出口成章。即使有人可以，也難回答得完美。因此準(zhǔn)備素材變得尤為重要。它能使難以開口的考生順利過關(guān)，使實(shí)力較好的考生獲得滿分。當(dāng)然，雅思口語考試Part 2是個(gè)三分靠理論、七分靠實(shí)踐的東西。沒有自己的積累與實(shí)踐，看再多的材料也是徒勞。而大家最后能達(dá)到怎樣的高度，答案是自己給出的。祝愿本章節(jié)能對(duì)大家的口語有所幫助。

雅思口語考試Part 2復(fù)習(xí)建議：

●以下章節(jié)提供的所有回答從中等偏上到高分水平的參考例文都有，請(qǐng)根據(jù)考生自身情況重新構(gòu)思。

●寫通用段子（比如體育明星或者老師，在表述人物的段子中都可以用到；比如香港，在描述地點(diǎn)類的段子中也可以通用）。如果不能夠把每個(gè)問題全寫出來，則每個(gè)題至少要想好3個(gè)回答的論據(jù)，論據(jù)應(yīng)可以在多個(gè)題中通用。

●把自己回答內(nèi)容相似的問題歸類，以便考試時(shí)容易迅速回憶。

●論據(jù)的積累可以與雅思寫作Task 2結(jié)合在一起復(fù)習(xí)，實(shí)踐發(fā)現(xiàn)有些題目在口語、寫作中都出現(xiàn)過。

●把握幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)：邏輯嚴(yán)密，語言連貫，語調(diào)恰當(dāng)，語速適中，時(shí)間利用充分。

●寫什么難度的段子？它應(yīng)該包含有較高級(jí)的詞匯，多樣的語法句式以及獨(dú)特的創(chuàng)意。

第1節(jié)　Describing People人物描述類

▲描述家庭成員

Sample A

Describe a family member that you are very close to.

Your should say:

Who this person is.

What this person is like.

How you are like and unlike this person.

And explain why you are close to this person.

The person I am very close to in my family is my mother. My mother is medium height who always wears a friendly smile on her face. Blue is her favorite color as she thinks it symbols peace and emotion. I think it has a lot to do with her personality. As a music teacher, she is always very patient and kind to her students. There are quite a few similarities between us. People always say that I look like my mother more than my father. We both like listening to the music and watching movies. On weekends, we often go shopping in the supermarkets or the department stores. But we are also different in many ways. My mother is a good gardener. Our veranda is lined with all her gardening masterpieces, such as chrysanthemum and Chinese roses. I am not so patient in taking care of the plants. Besides, my mother can cook many delicious dishes, while I can’t cook at all. I have learned how to treat people and how to deal with problems on my own from her. She is the
one I am close to as she really influences me a lot.

Sample B

Describe a member of your family who you are very close to.

You should say:

Who the family member is.

How you are like that family member.

How you differ from that family member.

And explain why you are close to him / her.

It is actually quite hard for me to choose one member of my family as I feel close to all of them, but I get on very well with my younger cousin, Sara. Everyone says we are like two peas in a pod. The family resemblance is very strong and we have similar interests and personalities. For example, we are both very artistic and outgoing in terms of personality. On the other hand, there’s a big age gap between us. I’m six years older and a lot more mature. We’ve also been living in different cities for a few years. But even though we only see each other a few weeks a year, we try to keep in touch by e-mails, letters, etc. I suppose the reason we are close is because we share so many characteristics and interests. In my opinion, it’s very important in a relationship to have things like that in common. And I think we are close because our whole family makes an effort to renew our ties.

▲描述朋友

Describe your best friend.

You should say:

Who this friend is.

What this friend is like.

What you do together.

And explain why you like this friend best.

Speaking of friends, the first one I’d like to talk about is Alex. We got to know each other in high school. He was a very shy person and I remember he seldom talked to people. We lived quite close and usually we went school together, so naturally we became good friends. Alex entered university to study architecture design afterwards and now, he works as an architecture designer in a joint venture. Although both of us are pretty busy with our job, we tend to spend weekends once in a while. Tennis court is the first place that we choose to go to. Sometimes we also have a drink together in the bar. You know, it is quite important and exciting to catch up with each other’s life. What influence me most in Alex is his hard work and his will to help people. His hard work made him the top student in the past and has won him many successes in his career. Whenever I am in trouble or difficulties, he is always there with a helping hand and an encouraging smile. I do appreciate having this friend.
