雅思口语内部资料(修订版)第8部分

第八部分:雅思口语第三部分Discussion实战策略Ps: 第三部分里,话题和问题的焦点完全改变了—考官问的问题不再关乎考生和考生的生活。

第三部分总体关注的焦点是“其他人”或者“社会整体”。

第三部分的问题也许关于考生国家发生的事情,一般性事件(没有特定的地点),或者可能是关于全球性的问题。

总之,问题涉及面会比第2部分要广,内容也要更为深刻!难度当然更大!考生的第二部分话题与第三部分话题之间有直接的联系。

考官会根据你的回答观点,或者与卡片本身相关的话题进行拓展问题提问。

需要记住的重要一点是在第三部分考生的实际观点也是不会被归入评分范围的。

没有人会在意你是否对萨科奇会见达赖有何看法或是孟买恐怖袭击作何真正感想,考官仍注意你的语言本身。

Also they prefer things like watching action movies and going to bars, but women like hobbies such as shopping, watching TV, singing KTV and chatting online.”模范答案:“Well obviously there are a number of clear differences. However, I guess that the most significant would be that men tend to prefer sporting activities such as football or basketball. Whereas in contrast women prefer things like shopping for clothes. In addition to this, another possible distinction might be that men usually like watching films; while on the other hand, women are more likely to prefer watching soap operas on TV.”开场白:Well obviously… Well undoubtedly…..Well clearly….Well unmistakably….Sure, without a doubt…Unquestionably…关于“有区别”的概述(类似第一部分的类型类问题,相关表达可以互换):There are a number of underlying differences here.There a variety of possible differences here.There are a range of potential distinctions here.突出特点1:However, I guess that the most significant would be that…Though I suppose that the most obvious would be that…But I would say the most fundamental would be that…细节1:Especially, particularly, in face, such as, for example, specially.对比转折(-1):Whereas on the other hand…On the contrary…Though quite the opposite…引入第二组对比的第一个特点(2):In addition…On top of this…Additionally…Moreover…As well as this…After that…Say there is another important difference.…a second key distinction would be that……a d subsequent contrast could be that……a further distinction might be that…第二个对比转折(-2):While on the other hand…Conversely…Alternatively…Then again, in opposition…时间方面进行对比(used to do 本身就有非常强的对比性,表示过去做,现在一定不做了!):….used to be much smaller……didn’t use to have as many…….always used to be more……didn’t use to be as…练习:Are schools nowadays the same as schools in the past?Are TV programs nowadays the same as TV programs in the past?Are restaurants now days the same as restaurants in the past?Are free-time activities nowadays the same as 20 year s ago in your country?Are shops nowadays the same as shops when you were younger?Are trips nowadays the same as trips that your parents had when they were young?Part Three Question type 2: Predicting预测类What will houses be like in the future?The following answer is quite common for this type of question:一般回答:“I think that in the future, houses will be much bigger, and maybe they will be in some strange places such as on the moon or under the sea.”模范答案“Certainly, I’m sure that most people would agree that there will be a number of major changes related to this. Initially, I guess that we might be gin to see houses that are much bigger. At the same time, I suppose it’s quite probable that we may have houses under the sea. And who knows, it could even be possible that we’ll see the arrival of houses on the moon.”…I guess that we might begin to see……I suppose it’s quite probable that we may have……who knows, it could even be possible that we’ll see…Certainly, I’m sure that most people would agree that there will be a number o f major changes related to this.I’m sure that in years to come we will see a number of changes related to this.I reckon that in the not so distant future there are going to be a few imminent changes with regard to…I imagine that in the near future, we w ill witness some major changes with regard to…介绍第一种预测情况:Initially, I guess that we might begin to see…To begin with, I’d predict that we will most likely have…Primarily, it looks quite probable that we are going to have…First of all, I would envisage that we are going to have…介绍第二种预测情况:At the same time, I suppose it’s quite probable that we may have…As well as this, some people claim that we will probably start to see…On top of this, I imagine it’s quite likely that we will soon have…Likewise, I would imagine that we may even be able to see…一般情况下,两种预测就足够了;但如果真的想介绍第三种预测,不妨尝试一个夸张预测来调节气氛:And who knows, it could even be possible that we’ll see the arrival of…And you never know, it could even transpire that we’ll have…And I know it’s a bit of a crazy thought, but one day we may even have…And w ho knows, there’s even a chance that we will have…练习:What will schools be like in the future?What will restaurants be like in the future?What types of people will become famous in the future?What will shops/ shopping habits be like in the future?What will public transport be like in the future?Part Three Question Type 3: Why questions原因表述类“Why do so many people want to be famous?”一般回答:“In my opinion there are many reasons. Firstly people think they can make more money, live in a big house, drive an expensive car and travel around the world.”模范回答:“In my opinion I guess I would have to say that there are probably a number of factors involved. Primarily, one key motivation would be because they think they would be able to make more money. As well as this a subsequent incentive might be because they want to live in a big house and drive an expensive car.”开场白:说明原因有很多—概述Well in my opinion I guess I would have to say that…Well i n my view, I suppose I would say that…Well in my estimation, I guess that…Well generally it’s my belief that…原因多……There are probably a number of factors involved.There are obviously a number of motives surrounding this idea.There are unquestionably a number of explanations for this.There are undoubtedly a variety of justifications behind this.主要原因The chief cause might be that…The main basis is probably because…The key explanation is possibly because…第二个原因As well as this, a subsequent factor cou ld be because…At the same time, a secondary motive could be that…Additionally, a further rationale might be due to the face that..练习:Why is it important to protect old / historical buildings?Why do so many people move from the countryside to cities?Why is it important to protect the environment?Why do people like to know about the private lives of famous people?Part Three Question Type 4: Advantages利弊讨论类“What are the advantages of traveling by train?”一般回答:“I think there are many advantages; for example it is quite cheap, it’s usually faster than road travel, you can usually take a train to any destination and you can sleep on the train.”模范回答:“Well I suppose that there are quite a few clear benefits, but I would probably say that for the most part, the one thing that really stands out is that trains are really cheap, especially for long distance travel—you can travel from one side china to the other for a few hundred Yuan. I guess that another obvious plus point is that it is much faster than traveling by road—so you can save time by traveling on trains. Along with this, a further merit is that you can sleep quite comfortably on long train journeys.”Well I suppose that there are quite a few clear benefits.Clearly there are a number of obvious merits.Sure there are a few favorable aspects.Obviously there are a number of positive features.最突出的优点:But I would probably say that for the most part, the one thing that really stand out is that…But it goes without saying that the most apparent would be that…Although I guess that the most visible would be that…However, I guess that the most evident wo uld be that…这个优点的原因:(关于原因的表述,可参考第一部分当中关于原因描述的相关表达)This is obviously favorable because…This is undoubtedly positive for the simple reason that…This is without doubt beneficial because…第二个优点(注意连接词):At the same time a second bonus might be that…Besides this, a second plus point could be that…As well as this a further favorable aspect would be that…第二个优点的原因:This is clearly advantageous because…This is definitely valuable since…This is surely a positive feature because…练习:What are the advantages of traveling by car?What are the advantages of having a private car?What are the advantages of zoos?What are the advantages of playing team sports?Part Three Question Type 5: DisadvantagesPS:一般情况下,一个关于弊的问题都会出现在一个关于利的问题后面“What are the advantages of train travel?”(Your answer)“Are there any disadvantages?”模范答案:“I think it’s fair to say that there are a few negative aspects. I suppose the most unfavorable quality might be that trains are often overcrowded at certain times of year. This is a clear limitation because on a long journey you might not be able to find a seat which means you have to stand up for hours. At the same time, another stumbling block might be that train tickets are sometimes difficult to buy, especially around spring festival, and this can be a hassle because it means you can’t always travel on the actual day that you want to. ”开场白—同样是对于有很多缺点/劣势的概述:I think it’s fair to say that there are a few negative aspects.I’m sure most people wo uld agree that there are some drawbacks.Of course there are a couple of shortcomings.最主要/突出的劣势/缺点:I guess the most impractical characteristic would be that…I suppose the most unfavorable quality might be that…Unquestionably, the most adverse feature would be that…导致这个缺点的原因:Most people would agree that this is problematic because…This is an obvious weakness because…This is a clear limitation because…第二个缺点:Correspondingly, an additional weak point may b e that…Supplementary to this, a further han dicap may be that…At the same time,, another stumbling block might be that…形成的原因:And the trouble with this is that…And this can be a hassle because…This is usually an aggravation because…练习:What are the disadvantages of air travel?What are the disadvantages of shopping in supermarkets?What are the disadvantages of using technology in education?What are the disadvantages of going on holiday in foreign countries?Part Three Question Type 6: Problems问题类PS:这类问题其实并不常见,但如果你在第二部分被问到的是关于nature, environment, social problems or global problems.这类的问题,那你就要小心了。

雅思8 听力解析

雅思8 听力解析

英语雅思听力TEST1 section11. 本段对话发生在两个学生之间。

一开始Nina 就冲George 喊“你终于回来了呀,不知道多少人打电话给你了”(Glad you’re back. Loads of people have phone you)。

glad 之前省略了I am,口语一般不说I am glad,比如“很高兴见到你”可以直接说Glad to meet you。

loads of sth. 是英式英语,不太正式,口语中常用,相当于a lot of sth.。

2. George 耐心给Nina 解释说“我去图书馆看报纸了,回来的路上遇见了有趣的事情——夏季节日演奏的西班牙音乐”。

Nina 说“听起来不错哦(sounds great)”,George 建议说“要不我们去看看,给自己放松一下(Shall we go then? Spoil ourselves?)”。

spoil 一般意为“宠爱, 溺爱”,但是此处spoil 意为“友好地对待”。

spoil oneself 意为“善待自己”(to look after someone in a way that is very kind or too kind)。

3.Nina积极响应了George的提议,不过George又提出了一个问题,票价不便宜。

于是Nina说“如果那样的话我们就坐在正前方,到时候就看得比较清楚(in that case we could sit right a 、t the corner—we’d have a really good view)”。

In that case意为“在那种情况下”。

case做名词,有“案件,事实,例子”之意,关于case的短语有:a case in point意为“例证,恰当的例子”;as is often the case意为“这是常有的事”;in any case意为“无论如何,总之”;in case意为“如果,万一,假如”;in case of意为“如果发生......”;in no case意为“绝不”;just incase 意为“以防万一”。

He told his reasoning for this belief but when I showed him my logic,though this man was around 12 years senior to me, he never took any advantages of it and he treated me as an equally skilled opponent on this issue.

When the enemy came , fires were lit to warn other soldiers.I think the Great Wall is the most interesting building.

It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars moving at a snail's pace on the streets during the rush hours. There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy intersections.In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. On the one hand, the government should invest more money inthe building of new roads and the repairing and maintenance of old ones, particularly those in busy areas of the cities. On the other hand, the number of private cars in urban areas should be limited while the number of public buses should be increased.

But it is too slow and it may spend us much more time. Plane ticket is more expensive. So, I think train is the best transportation for me.2 Can you just image the transportation in the future and describe it for me?In the future, the speed of car, train and plane will be faster. And, the transportation will be easier and convenient.3 Just compare the transportation in the past and now? What transportation do you like and why? Nowadays, we have more choice on the transportation than the past. Such as tube, plane etc, even though in the small city.

雅思备考考点及资料-Speaking, lesson 8 -'Describe your

IELTS Speaking Part 2: describe your favouriteDescribe a song or piece of music that you like.You should saywhat type of music it iswhere you first heard itwho performs itand explain why you like this song or piece of music.Here’s the answer that I gave in the lesson. I’ve highlighted the best vocabulary.I’m going to describe one of my favourite pieces of music, which is the theme music from the James Bond films. This is the soundtrack that begins every one of these James Bond films, and you hear the instruments straight away - it’s an instrumental piece of music; there’s no singing, there are no lyrics, it’s just orchestra with electric guitar, and it begins every one of the James Bond films.So the first time I heard this soundtrack was probably when I was a child and I watched my first ever James Bond film on television, and I was immediately struck by the music, how impressive it was and how it gets you excited before the film’s even begun. The spectacular opening sequences that always begin any James Bond film, matched with this iconic music, are really exciting and memorable.This is performed, obviously, by an orchestra, but as I said, it incorporates electric guitar and some drums as well. So it’s a mix of popular and classical I’d say. I’m not sure who composed it, but I imagine any orchestra can play it.The reason I like this music then, is because of the expectation it creates at the beginning of a James Bond film. You know that you’re about to watch something special when you hear the first few notes of this soundtrack, of the theme music. It creates an expectation of adventure, mystery, excitement; I think it’s really dramatic and powerful to hear this music at the beginning of the film, and they always match it with a spectacular opening sequence, and I think you’re already on the edge of your seat before the film’s even begun because it’s a really special beginning to hear this music before the film gets going.Describe a book that you enjoyed reading.You should saywhat the book was abouthow you found out about itwhy you chose to read itand explain why you enjoyed reading this book.I’m going to describe a book that I really enjoyed reading recently. The name of the book was ‘Mindset’. It’s a non-fiction book and the author is called Carol Dweck. I’m not sure how to pronounce her surname properly, but she’s a psychology professor and so the topic of this book was related to personality and development and motivation. In particular, she was writing about people’s own personal views regarding ability. Some people, according to this author, believe that ability is innate - you’re born with it, you have a talent that you can’t change. Other people, on the other hand, believe that abilities can be improved through gradual hard work, and this is the area of personality that she’s looking at. So she divides the two types of people into people with a ‘fixed mindset’and other people with a ‘growth mindset’; that’s why the name of the book is ‘Mindset’. These two mindsets are about whether you believe that our traits are fixed or, on the other hand, you think that we can grow and develop our talents through hard work.I found out about the book from a friend who’d read it, who recommended it, said it was really interesting.And I chose to read it because I thought, well, this could help me with my job, with my own aims or goals in life, and I’m interested in that kind or area, psychology, anyway.And I really enjoyed reading the book because it did open my eyes to motivation and people’s growth and development. I found it really informative, fascinating and even inspiring to see how we can improve ourselves.Note: As you can see, I spent most of the time describing the book, and I covered the other 3 points quite quickly. It’s fine to answer in this way - you don’t need to say an equal amount for each point; in fact, the points are there to guide you, but it isn’t compulsory to cover them all.Finally, here is the answer for the “favourite film” topic that I covered on my blog: Describe a film that you would like to see in the future.You should saywhat the film is calledwhat it is abouthow you heard about this filmand explain why you would like to see it.I’m going to talk about a film that I’d like to see when it comes out later this year. It’s the new James Bond film, and I saw in the news that it’s going to be called ‘Spectre’. I think‘Spectre’ refers to the name of the imaginary criminal organisation that James Bond has to defeat in the film.As ‘Spectre’ hasn’t been released yet, I don’t know exactly what it will be about. But I can guess that the hero, Bond, is going to be on a mission to save the world from an arch-criminal as usual. I’m sure it will be similar to most of the previous Bond films, with a plot line involving lots of twists and turns, and with Bond using his skills to defeat his nemesis in the end.I first heard about this film when I was watching the news a couple of months ago, and since then I’ve seen the official trailer on TV. There have also been various articles in newspapers discussing the actors who have been cast to play supporting roles in the film. The James Bond films are always big news here in the UK, probably because Bond himself is an English character.I’d like to see ‘Spectre’ at the cinema because I’m sure it will be full of action scenes and special effects, and I like the fact that Bond’s missions always take place in spectacular locations in different parts of the world. Of course Bond films are totally unrealistic, you could even say ridiculous. But they're always fast, entertaining and fun, a bit like a roller-coaster ride!。

Task 3: Answer these questions below within 50 words. (First write down your ideas, and then speak it out to your partner or teacher。

)1, What are your hobbies?2, How do you spend your weekends?3, Do you like collecting stamps?4, What kind of music do you like? Why?5, How often do you go to see a movie?6, Is there anything you don’t like to do in your spare time?Sample answers:1, Well, I have to say that I am quite fond of playing PC games. I can spend hours sitting at a computer. I almost become so addicted to it that I never do anything else at home these days. What’s more, I think it’s so exciting and stimulating. It keeps my mind busy. I suppose I spend about 4 hours each day playing PC games.2, To tell the truth, I spend weekends in many different ways. I go shopping , sometimes go for a drive or visit my friends. Once in a while I also invite my friends over. Weekends are also the time to do things around the house. I may clean the house, fix things and so on. Generally I spend weekends with my family or friends. I usually have busy weekends.3, Not really. I would say it is not my cup of tea. The main reason is that I don’t know much about stamps, so it is hard for me to choose which one is worth collecting. Another reason is that as a boy, I am not into this quiet hobby. Instead, I love doing something exciting. Such as playing rock n` roll, diving in the swimming pool. They are pretty fun.4, Personally speaking, I prefer rock n` roll than any other music. Although some people think it is a very noisy music, I think at least it is a good way to express people’s feelings. Coz the lyrics are so true and so touching. And the singers are usually very emotional people with sentimental eyes. So , it suits me well.5, It really depends. But I think the answer would be: once in a while. Since as a student, I can’t afford to go to see a movie every weekend, I guess may be once or twice in a month. But if my friends invite me to a good one, I would really love to go.Therefore, it is really according to my pocket.6, I would definitely say doing homework is the last thing I’d like to do in my spare time. You know, from Monday to Friday, I have studies many subjects, as a matter of fact, I’m really beat by those textbooks. So, my spare time is very precious, I don’t want any homework to bother me. I really need a break!Task 4: Interpret these sentences by yourself, then check out the answers below.1, 据信摄影是美国最流行的业余爱好。
