雅思口语Part2话题范例：News

Question

Describe your favourite news source.

Sample answer

If I wanted to talk about the best news source, I would definitely pick TV channels as the superior medium. In the first place, it is really available almost everywhere. I usually turn to TV channels on a daily basis when I return home from work. I guess it is designed to hold the viewers attention for a short period of time which seems a perfect fit for today’s fast-paced life. In the second place, it presents the most recent round-up on the news providing the opportunity for us to see and enjoy live incidents by reporters on the scene. That’s why shared viewing of TV programs can bring families together even for a while. So, I always count on TV as a handy, reliable and efficient source of news.

In fact, TV is my favourite source for news and I watch TV news almost daily. With the fast pacing life, it is often tough to totally concentrate on radio news or daily newspaper and that's why for the last few years the TV news programs are becoming more and more popular. I can turn on my TV set and there are plenty of dedicated news channels to watch. The handiest part of the TV news is that you do not have to get 100% engaged on the TV set. I can do other things at the same time the news updates get in my ear.

The audio-visual presentation, the detailed coverage and modern facilities have made the TV news really easy to grasp. For all those reason my personal favourite source of news is Television.

下面我们以最近经常出现的几个话题为例，看看考官是怎么提问的？

（三）雅思口语第一部分的注意事项

1. 雅思口语第一部分的两大忌：

1）背诵答案

2）太多的简短答案（yes. No. I don’t know.）

2. 雅思口语第一部分的前奏

What’s you full name? or: Can you tell me your full name, please?

How shall I call you?

Can I see your ID card please?

3. 怎样在雅思口语第一部分给考官留下好的印象。

1）发音差的同学，应该把自己发得不好的音好好纠正一下。

2）语法不好的同学，应该好好学习一下一般过去时，现在完成时，现在 完成进行时，现在进行时和将来时；名词单复数；可数和不可数名词；人称代词；主谓一致；形容词比较级最高级。

3）学习一些英语是母语的人喜欢用的的口语词和短语。

4）克服自己的紧张情绪，经常进行自问自答练习或找人对练。

5）不要试图说得太多，适当扩展一下就行了。

6）说话不要太快，同时和考官保持眼神接触

4. 如何克服自己的表达方式过于简单，单调的问题。

很多同学得5分的一个主要原因就是表达方式过于简单，单调，如喜欢就是like, 表达原因就是because, 说好处就是good for health, 描述地方就是beautiful, 当然不是说这些词不好，关键是你从头到尾都用类似的词或短语的话，给考官的信息就是你的语言不行，别忘了，雅思纯粹就是考语言，就像普通话考试。

我给大家总结了几组大家很可能会用上的一些词和短语，基本都是中国考生不是很熟悉的一些表达方式，希望能对大家有所帮助。

第一组：Yes, I do; No, I don’t 之外的其它情况

第二组：除了 I like…; I don’t like… 你还会说什么？

第三组：how often?

primarily due to our selfishness It’s primarily due to…

It’s mainly due to the that…

For one thing… road, I have to breathe the dirty air. For another …

4.明星的责任 5. 你对偶像崇拜的看法（尤其是青少年）。

想想，如果你在第二部分的卡片是：

Describe a place you know where the public may go to listen to music

You should say:

where this place it

what kind of people go there

what kind of music you can listen to there

and explain how you feel about this place.

那么你在第三部可能被问到什么样的问题呢？

4. 考官在第三部分如何提问

至于具体提问的方式，每个考官可能提问的方式有所不同，毕竟同一个问题可以有多种不

同的表述方式：如

How does A differ from B?

=How is A different from B?

=What is the difference between A and B?

但是，在第三部分通常是要你表达自己的观点，所以最常见的提问方式就是：

Do you think….? 或者 What do you think about…?

Why do you think some people??

Could you give me an example?

How are young people and old people different in their attitudes to…?

What do you think we can do to…?

How do you think…will change in the future? 等等。

5. 第三部分说多少合适？

部分考官喜欢让考生多说，这样他就可以少问些问题。这样做的前提是考生的口语能力比较强，但这种情况并不多见。通常考官在第三部分问的问题比较多，可能达到十个左右，这一方面是因为考生的答案比较短，考官需要不断提示考生从不同方面对答案进行扩充，如考官可能会叫你举个例子证明你的观点，或者给出原因。至于具体应该说多少，那就得看你能说到少了，考官看你说不下去了，通常会换个题目，或者引导你往下说。

6. 考官在这部分主要寻找什么？

首先，考官期望你能够和他进行交流，不希望看到长时间的停顿，所以考生可以想到什么就先说出来，不要等想好了再说，通常的说法是边想边说。你不要担心自己的观点很幼稚，这不会影响分数，考官主要看你能否表达自己的观点。

其次，考官期望你的回答不跑题，这需要大家认真听问题，如果没听懂，可以通过以下方式让考官帮助你：

Sorry, could you say it again please? I didn’t quite catch it.

Excuse me, what do you mean by “computer-literacy”?

Sorry, what does the last word mean?

Well, could you put the question another way?

如果，你想向考官确认你是否听懂了问题，你可以说：

So, you want me to??

最后，考官帮你之后，别忘了在回答前表示感谢：

Oh, I see/I see what you mean. Thanks.

如果，考官解释了你还没听懂，你可以让考官换个问题，这总比什么都不说强：

Sorry, I really have no idea what to say. Could you give me anther question?

或者：Sorry, I really don’t understand the question. Could you ask me another one?

7. 我该如何去准备第三部分？

其实最重要的还是要去扩充自己的词汇量，巧妇难为无米之炊嘛。如果时间紧，可以背背话题词汇。不过与此同等重要的还是要去看看最近常考的话题，争取自己事先有所准备，不打无准备之仗。

再者，大家要把自己喜欢用的连词练得滚瓜烂熟，尤其是发音要准。

比如：表达原因我喜欢用：I think it’s mainly because….

或者，I think the main reason is that…部分同学的main或mainly发得就不准确，容易和man/manly混。

再比如：表达某个事物的好处时，我喜欢用：I think the beauty of living in the city is the convenient transport, shopping and entertainment facilities.

这需要大家总结出来并把它们记在一起，并写上例句，天天练几遍，争取做到成为本能。只有这样考试的时候才能说得出来。

8. 我怎么去让自己扩展答案？

一个标准的答案应包括：你的观点+论据+总结

我们姑且将其总结成：

topic sentence+supporting details+conclusion

简称为：TSC

几乎所有的问题都可以用这个方式去扩展。这个方式最重要的部分是

要给出支持的论据，通常包括具体的例子，原因等。

现在我们就以上面的“名人”这个话题为例为大家进行详细的说明。

Would you like to be famous?

说明：这个问题显然需要你表达自己的意愿，并给出原因。

How can people get famous these days?

说明：这个问题的关键词是 “How”, 你只需说明一种现代人成名的方式就可以了。

示范：Well, as I know, the most common way for people to become famous is to join some famous contests, such as those talent shows on TV. If you become the champion, you become famous. Another way to become famous is to be an actor and actress. If you appear in a very successful film and you do a good job, you become famous immediately. In a word, it’s very easy to become famous nowadays as long as you have your own stuff and you catch the chance to show it to other people.

How did people become famous in the past?

说明：从现在谈到过去时考官常用伎俩，其目的很明显：能否正确使用动词过去时。所以常见动词的过去时大家一定要熟悉。

示范：how people became famous in the past? Um, I’m not sure because I don’t know much about that. I only know that when I was child, the most famous people were government leaders or national heroes like LeiFeng and some important scientists. They became famous through newspapers or textbooks.
