1.人物类话题

在雅思口语考试的part 2部分，人物类卡片题是必考的话题之一。首先，看看5-8月题库到底有哪些人物类话题：

尊敬的老人Describe an old person you respect.

道歉之人Describe a person who has apologized to you.

亲密朋友Describe one of your best friends.

敬仰的领导Describe a leader you admire

共度时光的人Describe a person that you like to spend time with

有创意的人Describe a creative person that you admire

一起住的人Describe a person who once moved to live with you

近水之地Describe a place near water (such as a river, a lake or the ocean) that you enjoyed visiting.

其实只要掌握了对付人物类话题的答题思路，遇到这类问题的时候应付起来其实不难！下面来看一道卡片题的范例。

Describe a family member you would like to work with.

You should say,

Who the person is;

What kind of person he or she is;

Whether you’ve worked together before;

And explain why you would like to work with this person.

对于酱紫描述人的话题，烤鸭们可以往这个人物的品质和能力靠拢。一个人为人处世中的personalities或是abilities往往决定了这个人身上会发生的故事。因此，烤鸭在回答这类话题的时候，可以着重突出一下人物性格或者能力，然后谈论在这个人物身上发生的事情。

在描述或评价一个人物的时候，可以采取三个步骤，A. 直接说明此人的性格特点或能力，B. 补充解释，C. 举例说明。大家且看答题范例：

①I would very much like to work with my cousin, who is the son of my aunt on my father’s side. He’s two years older than me, and we basically grew up together. In most people’s eyes, he is a good student who can sail through all kinds of examinations. But for me, he is not merely a diligent student, but an intelligent and versatile young man. ②Even though we haven’t worked together on any business projects, I know for sure heis someone I can work with.

在这个范例的回答中，仅仅用了一段，便回答了题目中的“who this person is”、“what kind of person he or she is”以及“whether you’ve worked together before”这三个问题。不过cover 到了这3个小问还不够，这个回答中运用了哪些技巧呢？

1. 在回答简单含义的句子的时候，可以尝试使用定语从句。如文中的句纸“I would very much like to work with my cousin, who is the son of my aunt on my father’s side”，就是将两个简单的意思连到了一句话中。

2. 可以使用让步状语从句强调自己要表达的意思。如范例中的Even though we haven’t worked together on any business projects, I know for sure he is someone I can work with. 虽然还木有共事，但是还是强调了自己想要和cousin共事的观点。

※另外，范例中的经典地道表达也要注意：sail through all kinds of examinations 通过所有种类的考试；versatile 多才多艺的；

To be more specific, I think he would be a fantastic leader. ③If we were to work on something serious, say starting our own company, the team would need a leader, who could unite all the team members and utilise each one’s strong points. I am more like a follower, I mean, a good subordinate, but I don’t think I am an effective communicator. So for someone who is not leader material, it’s better to work with someone who is.

Besides, as I mentioned earlier, he is really intelligent and versatile. ④For Example, he speaks really good English, knows all about geography and international relations, and he is also proficient in programming. I’ve always wanted to work with someone I look up to, and I think he is just the one.

范例中，用了两大段来说明了最后一个问题“why you would like to work with this person”。这其中也包含了一些答题技巧：

1. 范例中用了一个fantastic leader来描述cousin。这样的词汇我们可以联想到另外一个话题：A friend who you think is a good leader。也就是说，其实烤鸭在准备素材的时候，可以适当将人物类话题进行分类准备，将有联系的人物类话题归为一类，这样有些素材就可以通用了。

2. 范例在解释why I would like to work with this person的时候，用了两个论点，一个是fantastic leader, 另外一个是intelligent and versatile。而在展开这两个论点的时候，用了两种方法：A. 虚拟语气，假设共事的时候，cousin 的leadership 会带来怎样的效果；B. 举例子，用具体的事例说明cousin 的ability。这样多变的描述方法，烤鸭们在考试的时候也可以采用。※同样，这两段中出现的地道口语表达有：leader material 有领导才能的人；look up to 尊敬。

小贴士：其实烤鸭们在查看范例的时候不是只是看看就过了哟。看范例也是有方法的！在查看范例的时候要注意以下两个要点：第一个要点是范例用的是哪些观点和素材，看看这些观点和素材是否可以通用到其他题目中去；第二个要点则是呈现方式，范例是如何通过地道表达和高级语法结构来将观点和素材展现出来的。如果大家在看完范例之后，能把这2个要点的内容理清楚，并且归类总结到自己的知识库中，这个范例才算是真正理解掌握了。
