篇1:雅思口语歌曲类话题解读

Describe a song you can remember well

you should say:

what the song is about;

when and where you first heard this song;

how you felt about it;

and explain why you can remember it well.

原因其实有多个:一,歌曲很多是词作者的个人感悟而非故事情节,较为抽象,以学生的语言能力较难将其高效地归纳总结。二,流行歌曲同质化严重,太多与年轻人的感情生活有关。用英文谈情说爱这事恐怕学生连想都没想过。用英文来表达对感情生活的感悟?那肯定也好不到哪里去。三,既是歌曲,除词外自然还是曲可一讲。可是melody又是过于抽象,中文尚且可以“大珠小珠落玉盘”式的胡诌一通,用英文怎么办?描述起来也费力气啦,不是专业学器乐声乐的估计也说不了太多。于是乎一个如此常见的话题全因这样那样的原因成了个烫手山芋。

怎么办?依照本人愚见,还是利用应付口语技巧中的“四两拨千斤”技巧将不好说的话题转到自己得心应手的域中去。对历史有研究的同学可以看一下下面这篇:

The only song which lingers on in my mind when you ask me to describe one, is actually the greatest hit of the famous English band Cold play: Viva la Vida. You know I can even write down each word of its lyrics and easily hum the melody. Wanna hear a piece of it? Maybe after this exam is done... Just kidding. The moment I go to karaoke, this will be the song I always have a chance to sing then.

When did I first hear about this song? I think I first heard it when I was watching TV and there was a new iPod advertisement showing on. The background music suddenly caught my attention as it was so vivid and impressive. Then I did everything I could to search all the information about this song and thanks to Google, which was not entirely blocked here in China at that time, I learned that it has an strange name of “Viva la Vida”, meaning “long live the life” in Spanish. Apart from the inspiring tunes, the Lyrics, to be honest, just showed me something different of composing pop songs. I always regarded pop music as something that only cares about romance; yet Viva la Vida contains such historical and Christian references that I would like to use words, say, ‘magnificent’ to depict it. ‘Pillars of sand’ in lyrics, for instance, is a reference to the biblical parable given by Jesus about the fool who built his house on sand and the wise man who built it on solid rock. Similarly, ‘I know Saint Peter won’t call my name’ refers to the popular tradition of St. Peter guarding the gate of heaven. Moreover, the term ‘...my head upon a sliver platter’ and something like ‘...I am a puppet on a lonely string...’ may refer to various subjects including the French Revolution. Incredible for just A POP SONG, isn’t it? Frankly speaking I have never met such songs with such profundity!

话题一下子变得高大上了不是?有圣经有法国大革命,bigger than bigger矣。问题是雅思口语考官对于西方历史文化远比你熟悉,切记不要胡编乱造。

当然还可如此操作,找些中文励志歌曲,抒发抒发自己逆袭登上人生巅峰的豪情壮志,反正天下心灵鸡汤全是一个味道。套路照搬内容变化:

The only song which lingers on in my mind when you ask me to describe one, is actually the one of the greatest hits from the famous Chinese band ‘Shin’: HaiKuoTianKong. You know I can even write down each word of its lyrics and easily hum the melody. Wanna hear a piece of it? Maybe after this exam is done... Just kidding. The moment I go to karaoke, this will be the song I always have a chance to sing then.

When did I first hear about this song? I think I first heard it when I was watching TV and there was a new TV series showing on. The ending song suddenly caught my attention as it was so vivid and impressive. Then I did everything I could to search all the information about this song and thanks to Chinese online search giant Baidu, I learned its name as “HaiKuoTianKong”, meaning “sky is the limit” in Chinese. Apart from the inspiring tunes, the Lyrics, to be honest, just showed me new horizon of making pop songs. It contains several notes delivering ideas like ‘don’t give up or flee from your fate’; ‘fight it bravely’; “Tomorrow will be a better future’; or ‘However challenging your life is, you should be resilient’. I believe it actually tells us the true spirit of what we should do in our lives, and frankly speaking I have been motivated by the song, determined to pursue everything that I desire in future!

是不是避开了分析歌词描述曲调的陷阱呢?“虚”的难说我们就挑“实”的东西好好发挥,轻松6.5+无难度。下次再见。

雅思口语Part1答案:Music音乐

1. Do you like music?

If I said I “like” music, that would be the biggest understatement ever. I love it, not any particular genre, a bit of everything. Music is the expression of human thoughts and the soul of human society.

如果我说我喜欢音乐,那是最保守的表达。我爱它,没有特别的种类,所有都喜欢。音乐是人类思想的表达,人类社会的灵魂。

2. What's your favourite kind of music?

I am a rock buff. Actually I like all kinds of rock. Just name a few: metal core, industrial metal, classic rock and melodic death metal. My favorite band is Oasis. They help me get through my tough time.

我是个摇滚迷。我喜欢各种摇滚。我说一些吧:硬核金属、工业金属、经典摇滚、旋律死亡金属。我最喜欢的乐队是绿洲乐队。他们帮我度过了最难熬的那段时光。

3. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

No, I think. I did try to learn guitar when I was in middle school. But I gave up when I had my thumb swollen and had blisters all over.

没有。中学的时候我试着学过吉他,但后来大拇指都肿了手上全是泡,我就放弃了。

4. Which instrument would you prefer to study - the piano or the violin?

I love them both equally but I would learn piano first, first of all, it’s a lot easier starting off, and secondly, it’s a great jumping off point to learn other instruments.

我两种都喜欢但我会先学钢琴。首先,钢琴容易上手,而且,这是学其他乐器的跳板。

5. Do you think it's important for children to learn (to play) a musical instrument?

I believe it is important. I think that learning to play an instrument teaches kids important things: comprehension, perseverance, discipline, a sense of pride. With music, they will also learn how to appreciate life.

我觉得重要。我认为学习乐器可以让孩子学会很多东西:理解能力、毅力、自律、自豪感。学音乐,他们可以学会如何感激生活。

雅思口语part2之歌曲类话题解读

1. Hey, Jude by The Beatles

这首歌是当年的Paul McCartney为John Lennon与前妻Cynthia的儿子Julian所创作的,以此来鼓励他积极乐观勇敢地面对现实(有关他daddy和小野洋子的故事,大家都知道的哦)。

大家可以从里面的一句lyrics入手:Take a sad song and make it better. 就是鼓励大家虽然情况很糟,不过我们也有能力可以make the best of it (to accept a bad or difficult situation and do as well as you can). 然后再瞎编一个自己当年低落的故事,Voila!搞定!

2. Three things by Jason Mraz

如果大家嫌上面一句歌词太少,占不了多少时间,这首歌就是你的最佳选择!因为它的第一句歌词是:There are three things I do when my life falls apart. 然后就开始娓娓道来了…… 然后在结合自己的经历,联系歌词,一个文艺范儿的答案就这么诞生了!下面把可能会用到的歌词部分分享给大家:

Number one, I cry my eyes out and dry up my heart

Not until I do this will my new life start

The second thing I do is I close both of my eyes

And say my “thank yous” to each and every moment of my life

Gathering new strength from sorrow

I’m glad to be alive

And things are looking up

I know above the clouds the sun is shining

Love is still the answer I’m relying on

The third thing that I do, now, when my world caves in

Is I pause, I take a breath and bow and I let the chapter end

I design my future bright, not by where my life has been

And I try, try, try, try, try again

I know beyond the dark the sun is rising

3. Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

如果你想提及自己分手(breakup)的经历,那这首歌简直再合适不过了!因为光看歌词就知道了:

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller,

Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter,

Footsteps even lighter,

Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone.

4. Us against this world by West life

如果你正在热恋,而且还有那种像韩剧中男主女角有一方家长反对的剧情,这首歌就是为你准备的!它就是描写“不顾一切的爱”,跟考官介绍你的情史,他一定听得津津有味,谁不爱听故事呢不是么!

Sometimes I feel like the world is against me

The sound of your voice, baby

That's what saves me

When we’re together I feel so invincible

When I’m with you, I can feel so unbreakable

5. No love by Eminem

喜欢说唱歌曲的娃们,肯定听过阿姆是不!他的歌曲里,除了被beep掉的部分,有些地方说的特励志特有意境,比如No love这首歌,里面的那句Throw dirt on me and grow a wildflower. 大家可以理解成“你向我扔泥巴,我偏要在上面长出野花,气死你!”

6. Superheroes by The Script

这又是一首励志歌曲,如果你曾经在学校被那些bully欺负,或者有人质疑你的能力,嘲笑你的梦想,别犹豫了,这首歌就是唱给你听的!

When you’ve been fighting for it all your life

You’ve been struggling to make things right

That’s how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power

When you’ve been fighting for it all your life

You’ve been working every day and night

That’s how a superhero learns to fly

雅思口语part2:喜欢的歌曲

Describe a favorite song of yours

You should say:

What this song is about

When you listened to this song for the first time How often you listen to this song

And explain why you think it is your favorite

My favorite song is “MY Heart Will GO On”, from the titanic movie. Celine Dion who is a famous playback singer and a pop start of Canada and us has sung this song. I had seen a video this song on a music channel before the movie released in my country before a 20 years ago. When I saw the video, I was impressed by the picturization of the song. Liked the song and immediately I bought its audio from the market and I started listening to the song.

The lyrics of the song are wonderful and touchy. The song talks about true love that is eternal and the song has been associate with the character of the heroin of the film in such a wonderful way that that the song is a message of a girl in the movie who falls in love with a painter on the ship titanic. The ship sinks, she loses her love, yet, she remembers her love at an age of 80+ and all the memories of her love are as fresh as a flower.

Apart from the lyrics, the singer Celine Dion has sung the song. She has made it melodious and effectivewith her beautiful voice. The tune of the song and music are so soothing and melodious that we want to hear the song again and again. I like the song so much that I kept the tune of this song as my mobile’s ring tone for a long time. I still hear this song on my computer and mobile. This song is one of my favorite songs and the best in the career of Celine Dion according to me.

篇2:关于culture雅思口语话题解读

雅思口语话题culture

A foreign culture

Ok, well one of the foreign cultures I’m most interested in at the moment is American culture, so that’s what I’ve decided to talk about.

And as for what I know about it, well if I’m gonna be totally honest with you, I really don’t know that much, mainly because I haven’t yet been to the States, so I’m no expert in any sense of the word, but one thing I think is fair to say is that Americans really love sports, especially basketball and baseball. And I’ve also heard that, apparently, universities in America offer a lot of sports scholarships, so I think this goes to show that being good at sport is pretty highly-regarded over there, and is a strong part of their culture.

So that’s one thing, and I think I’m also right in saying that rap and hip hop are very popular kinds of music in the States, because I’ve noticed that in a lot of Hollywood films I’ve watched, this type of music seems to appear quite a lot, although I have to admit that I find it really difficult to understand what exactly is being said or sung in the songs!

But anyway, with regard to why I find the American culture interesting, well firstly, I guess one reason would be that it’s completely different to our culture over here, and that’s kind of what makes it so appealing to know more about. I mean, just to give you one example, the way food’s cooked in America, on the whole, is a lot different to here, as over there they tend to use an oven for most of their cooking, whereas here in China, we tend to fry most of our food. And as well as this, I think another thing that makes the American culture interesting is the fact that it encompasses so many things that I wasn’t aware of before, so learning about it has really broadened my mind.

And this, I would say, is the beauty of learning other cultures, because for me at least, making an effort to understand a little bit about U.S. culture has definitely given me a wider perspective on life.

So yeah, that’s pretty much all I’ve got to say, so thanks for listening.

雅思口语P3话题:文化Culture

考官?:What is 'culture' for you?

考生?: Culture can be defined as the way of life of a particular society or section of society. It involves their customs and traditions, and so in some senses culture is what distinguishes us from others, what makes us unique. I think culture is also what connects us to our past,

to our heritage. We mustn't forget modern culture either, though. Youth culture is often very vibrant and powerful, with its new and inventive forms of music, dress and art.

剑桥雅思口语加分表达:

be defined as 被定义为

customs and traditions习俗和传统

in some senses 在一定意义上

distinguish 区分

connect someone to 把...和...联系起来

vibrant 有活力的

powerful 有力量的

inventive 创新的

考官?:Do you think that it is important for a society or culture to have a sense of continuity with the past?

考生?: Yes, definitely. Change is necessary, but it is also frightening. For this reason, people continue to rely on their traditions to give them a sense of their roots and to remind them of where they've come from. Commemorating the past is also a way of bringing people closer together, such as during National Day.

剑桥雅思口语加分表达:

frightening 恐怖的

continue to 继续做某事

rely on 依赖

a sense of their roots 一种根基感

remind someone of ...让某人想起

commemorate the past 纪念过去

bring poeple closer together 拉近人们之间的距离

解读雅思口语话题—— “A Cultural Event in China”

研究中心分析认为,在雅思口语考试中,关于文化、传统的话题一直以来都是考官常问的题目,而面对这样的问题,考生往往都怀有“既爱又恨”的感情。“爱”是因为,中国的传统文化本来就博大精深,理所当然有很多可以在外国考官面前炫耀一番的精彩内容;但是,又“痛恨”自己在知识经验上的匮乏,所以能够说道关于文化的也就是现在考生嘴边常挂的那些,如:Chinese New Year, Dragon-boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Day, Tomb-sweeping Festival等等。

不仅如此,对于回答的具体内容更是干涩乏味,比如描述Chinese New Year时,常听到考生众多且雷同的回答:We usually have a good time during the festival. The whole family members have a delicious dinner, and friends and relatives come together to have fun. Parents usually give money to children, so they can buy many things they want. 又或者是:On that day, we usually eat moon cakes and watch the round moon in the sky. It is very beautiful, and the story behind it is more beautiful. 我想任何一个来中国呆过两年的老外都应该早已熟悉了这样的模式,对文化背后的故事可能比我们自己的学生还要清楚;而且,在这样的内容中,其实根本没有体现出中国的春节文化到底是如何表现的。那可想而知,最后的结果轻则无新颖内容,重则没有回答题目的核心内容。

如果调整一下回答关于“Chinese New Year”的内容,也许会让考官有“耳目一新”的感觉。

The Chinese are very superstitious and that means they take symbolism seriously. Locals come to market to buy good luck charms. Customers at snack are scooping up all sorts of New Year's treats. 这段话总述了中国人过年的表现,在后面的内容中将具体讲述如何过年和特殊的习俗。

It's a tradition for all of us Chinese to get these sesame balls during Chinese New Year. We use them to worship our ancestors and we say if we have more sesame balls at home then more gold and silver will come into our house. It's really to bring us more wealth in the New Year. Roasted melon seeds symbolize coins, so this means scooping up lots of money. Rice cakes in the shape of fish are big sellers too. In Cantonese the word for fish sounds the same as the word for savings. 这段话从传统的饮食细节上进行描述,这一点是很多同学所忽视的。朗阁海外考试研究中心分析发现,大部分同学仅仅告诉考官我们有delicious food,但忽视了和文化有关的饮食习惯;换句话说delicious food可以放在任何一个场合,而非是针对该题目的描述。

Another item that locals want to buy for the New Year for good luck is red underwear. Red symbolizes wealth and prosperity and the Chinese want new clothes for the New Year from head to toe and underneath. My aunt buys three lingerie sets every New Year, believing red will bring her good luck. Lunar New Year is the most profitable time of year for this lingerie store.

The banks are also very busy with customers ordering brand-new bills to give away as New Year's gifts to younger relatives or junior colleagues. It's considered good luck for the giver and recipient. 除了饮食习俗外,春节中还有很多其他的风俗,所以这个部分的内容最好要比饮食多一些,来突出更多新颖的内容,如传统的红色和压岁钱。这样做的目的也是为了增加回答内容的丰富性和多样性。

除了描述春节之外,其实还有很多其他的cultural event值得一说,相对大众的文化传统节日如中国传统的“鬼节”the Ghost Festival,重阳节the Double Ninth Festival;具有地方特色的文化活动可以选择“成都的麻将节the Mahjong Festival,重庆的火锅节the Hotpot Festival in Chongqing”等。这里我们选择中国传统的“鬼节”作为例子,相信考官一定没有在考场中听过考生描述这类的主题。

The seventh lunar month in the traditional Chinese calendar is called Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, the Gates of Hell are open to allow ghosts and spirits access to the world of the living. The spirits spend the month visiting their families, feasting and looking for victims. 总体介绍该文化活动的情况,初步解释。

There are three important days during Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, ancestors are honored with offerings of food, incense, and ghost money - paper money which is burned so the spirits can use it. These offerings are done at makeshift altars set up on sidewalks outside the house. 进一步详细解释该文化的表现。

Almost as important as honoring ancestors, offerings to ghosts without families must be made, so that they will not cause you any harm. Ghost month is the most dangerous time of the year, and malevolent spirits are on the look out to capture souls. This makes ghost month a bad time to do activities such as evening walk, traveling, moving house, or starting a new business. Many people avoid swimming during ghost month, since there are many spirits in the water which can try to drown you. 用适当的例子来说明该文化的特征。

The last day of the month is when the Gates of Hell are closed up again. The chants of Taoist priests inform the spirits that it’s time to return, and as they are confined once again to the underworld.

针对这样的话题,若希望增加其自然度和真实感,可以在回答正题之前先给考官打一个预防针:“The cultural event I’m going to talk about may sound a little bit superstitious and scary, but it is one of our traditional and cultural events in most areas.”

对于Cultural event的话题,回答思路大多情况下都是介绍文化活动或事件的主题+具体文化习俗和传统活动的表现;所以,建议希望得高分的考生可以更换老主题的具体内容,也可以更换一个新的主题,否则考官将会始终以茫然的表情面对你。

雅思口语考试话题分类:art and culture

Describe an occasion that you had a special cake

You should say:

when you had it

where you had it

who you were with

and explain why you think it was special

Band 6

A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged (订婚). I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was hearing the good news (非谓语加分表达). So in order to celebrate this memorable(值得纪念的) occasion, I decided to give her a special cake as a present.

Now, I’d like to talk bout the appearance. The cake had two layers (双层) and it looked silky smooth (丝滑的), with some chocolate frosting (巧克力糖霜) and some candy sprinkles (糖果碎) on the outside. What’s best about it is that (主语从句) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance (未婚夫), which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were so delighted. After they cut the cake, I couldn’t help myself and took a bite. Words can’t describe how (语言无法描述多么的...) savory is was! I’m not exaggerating (毫不夸张地说), it tasted so different from any other cake I’d ever had before, so soft and tender (柔软的).

As for why it’s special, well, first and foremost, it’s undoubtedly the most special cake I’ve ever had. Plus, it has sentimental values (情感价值) that cannot be replaced and we all enjoyed it very much.

Band 7

A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged. I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was since mycousin and I are like sisters and she knows me likea book (非常了解某人). So in order to celebrate this memorable occasion, I decided to give her something special, which is afondant cake (翻糖蛋糕).

When the wedding day finally came, I saw the cake for thefirst time and I was totally blown away (感到震惊)! It was an 8-inch two-layer cake with a silky smooth finish, decorated with (非谓语) chocolate frosting and some candy sprinkles. The biggest highlight is that (最大的亮点是…) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance, which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were overjoyed (开心的, 替换happy) withan ear-to-ear smile (咧开嘴的笑容) on their faces. After they cut the cake, Icouldn’t resist the temptation (无法抗拒诱惑) and took a bite. The second it touched my tongue (当触碰到我的舌尖时,时间状语), I was utterly out of words (无法用语言表达的震惊)! It tasted so soft and tender and it gave me a whole new sensation (一种全新的感受) that I had never had before.

As for why it’s special,well, not only (倒装) is it the most palatable (美味的,替换deilicious) cake I’ve ever had, but also it has sentimental values that cannot be replaced.

篇3:雅思口语音乐类话题

关于音乐的话题,一直以来在雅思口语试题中都占有一席之地。从Part 1中考察考生“最喜爱的音乐类型”、“小时候听过的歌曲”,到Part 2当前的考题“最喜爱的歌手或者乐队”,都对考生就音乐领域的专业词汇表达,例如:歌手风格、曲风、歌曲元素等进行了相对抽象的考察。下面是雅思口语音乐类话题,一起来了解下吧。

雅思口语音乐类话题

1 、Do you like music?

No, I don'treally like music, and I don't listen to it. It's not something that I've ever been interested in.

中文大意:因为不感兴趣,所以不喜欢。

2、What kind of music did you listen to when you wereyoung?

I can't remember listening to much music asa child either. I suppose I must have heard some traditional music at festivals or parties, but I didn't take much notice of it.

中文大意:小时候并没有太在意,但可能在某些场合听过一些传统歌曲。

3 、When was the last time you went to a concert?

I've never been to a music concert. Maybe Ishould try going to one; perhaps it would be interesting to see an orchestra playing classical music.

中文大意:以前没有这样的经历,但是想以后去听一下管弦乐队演奏的经典曲目。

4、Would you like to participate in a live music show?

No, definitely not. I don't play a musical instrumentand I don't sing,so I can't imagine that I'd ever find myself performing to an audience.

中文大意:我并没有音乐这方面的才能,所以不会在观众面前表演。

雅思口语描述你最喜爱的歌手

根据实际课堂反馈得出,许多学生当被问到喜欢什么类型的歌曲时,往往最常见的答案就是pop music。这其中,还有相当一部分学生会将流行音乐误以为是popular music。虽然大多数情况下,pop和popular是可以通用的,但当表示音乐类型的时候,这是两个截然不同的概念。popular作为形容词的时候表达的含义是“流行的”,所以popular music表达的“流行音乐”体裁不限,范围更广,例如:R&B, Rock, Hip-hop, Pop等。而单纯的pop music则指的是以歌颂爱情为主题,主打年轻人为市场,结合各种乐器碰撞出来的混合效果的音乐。所以,足以见得,pop music是属于popular music中的一种。

当然,需要提醒广大考生们注意的是,考官的耳朵已经开始疲惫了,所以这些“大众”答案已经不能让你脱颖而出了。关于音乐种类,光光知道一个pop music是远远不够的。最好,考生在全面了解各种音乐种类的同时,还能熟悉各种类型相应的代表歌手及代表曲目。下面,笔者将为考生们整理出一些主流的相关词汇表达:

1.classical music古典音乐。在朗文字典上的解释为music that people consider serious and that hasbeen popular for a long time。而classical music在狭义上指的是海顿(Haydn)、贝多芬(Beethoven)、莫扎特(Mozart)为主流的古典乐派的音乐。

2.country music乡村音乐,是一种具有美国民族特色的音乐。这种音乐曲调简单,节奏平稳,具有叙事性。该类型音乐的代表人物为被许多年轻人追捧的美国小甜妞Taylor Swift。代表曲目Love story和You belong with me。

3.pop music 流行音乐,是广受年轻人追捧的一种音乐类型。代表歌手有台湾的Jay Chou(周杰伦)、香港的Andy Lau(刘德华)、美国的lady gaga等。值得注意的是,许多考生也许并不清楚所有歌手的英文名,在考试中提到这些歌手的时候,往往用的仍然是中文名,这会让考官产生恍惚感,也许很难与考生产生共鸣。所以,在考前做足功课去了解歌星的英文名也是相当有必要的。

4.Rock and Roll摇滚乐。中国摇滚的第一声音为歌手崔健的《一无所有》。不过,如果考生想和考官聊到摇滚乐,建议考生们选择国外的代表性乐团和作品,因为过于中国化的东西并不能和考官产生共鸣。相反,如果聊到Beetles(披头士乐队)的Hey Jude,这首曾出现在伦敦奥运会上的歌的话,效果就会截然不同。

接下来,我们一起来看一道关于“音乐”方面的考题:

Describe a popular music band or a singer inyour country.

You should say:

What it first became popular

What style of music it perform

Who (what kind of people) like this band or singer

And explain why you think they are popular

分析:该话题考察学生描述一个最喜爱的歌手或乐队,该话题与人物类话题交叉,不仅涉及到音乐的内容,在描述歌手的同时,最好也要涉及人物的形象介绍。在教学实践中,曾经有考生提出,在叙述一名歌手时,往往想要提到他的代表曲目,而在考场上又一时想不起来怎么表达歌名,或者比较纠结自己翻译的歌曲名称和官网发布的不一致怎么办?

针对歌名翻译的问题,首先要肯定的是,在考场上用中文描述歌名肯定是行不通的。考生一方面是要在考前针对话题做好充足的准备,如果一时兴起想要表达突发奇想的答案时,也不要慌,尽自己的努力去把歌名用地道的英语翻译一下。即使官方不是这么翻译的也没有关系,因为往往中文歌曲考官本来就了解不多。其实歌名本不重要,重点是歌曲内容及其特色上的语言表达才是与考官产生共鸣的取胜之道。

下面是针对上述考题的范文,供广大考生们参考:

When it comes to a popular singer in mycountry, I’d like to say a few words on a female singer called G.E.M.

Actually, she’s born in Shanghai andimmigrated to Hong Kong when she was 4 years old. She began to compose andcreate songs when she was just 5. At the year of 17, she won the award of “New ForceFemale Singer”. She was the first one who won this prize that under 18.

She attended a TV show called “I am asinger” and won the second place of finals in . At that period of time, shebecame a household name in China. Her musical style is full of change andexcitement. Her songs include soft Rock, rap, lyric, Broadway. Therefore, shewas regarded as an “almighty goddess”. Due to the TV show, lots of young peoplebecome the crazy fan of her. People became familiar with her representative workslike “what have you done”, “The rose”, and “The foam”.

Her excellence in singing field has beenrecognized by the public, I suppose that’s why she’s so popular in China.

雅思口语介绍一首有趣的歌曲

Topic:Describe an interesting song

You should say

where does the song come from

how do you know that

what does the song tell

and explain why do you think it is interesting.

Sample answer:

The legendary song Annie's Song'by John Denver is a piece of music that I really like. I like this song so much that every time I listen to it,I get a fresh and inspiring feeling. This is probably the piece of song that I have listened several thousand times.

This is a song that always inspires me and I like the lyrics and the music of this song. John Denver and his band Beatles and their songs are in my favorite lists. The 'Annie's Song'is a piece of work that the world will revere for a long. This is one of the most rated songs of the world history and I like it for the magical tone it has.

I listen to music almost every day and this song is in my music player. So I would say I listen to this music one in every two days on an average.

This particular song was sung by a gifted singer and the lyric is pretty impressive. The music and vocal was just perfect to make it a legendary song. I love it because of its appeal and magical power to me.

雅思口语描述你喜欢的歌曲

Describe an interesting song you like.

You should say:

What it is

Which country the song comes from

What story the song tells

And explain why you think it is interesting.

I would like to describe a song called “Hey Jude”, which was firstly sung by the English rock band the Beatles. Actually it’s a song McCartney wrote to cheer up a 5-year old boy Julian, during his parents' divorce. The song was first released in August 1968 as the first single from one of the Beatles' records. The song reached the top of both British and American charts. Then, it became an uplifting ballad that’s inspired the masses for decades.

I was also touched by the song the first time I heard it in my high school. I especially like the lyrics, which carry an encouraging message, like when he sings “make a sad song and make it better”. It taught us to be positive and optimistic when things aren’t going well. The lyrics and the tune always spark a bit of romance in my heart.

I tended to listen to this song when I came across all kinds of frustration and failures in my life. It’s really a wake-up call for me and could drag me out of tough situations. Nowadays, I can’t help singing along with the song once it plays. It also had been covered by a series of singers worldwide.

The song 'High Hopes' sung by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd band is a song I have loved always and would hear often for the rest of my life. Pink Floyds is famous for their progressive and psychedelic music and high-quality lyrics. This song falls under the progressive rock music genre and was the 11th song on the album 'Division Bell'. I usually listen to this song on my computer and sometimes in my MP3 player with the headphone. In fact, I am a great fan of this music band and most of their songs are on my favourite list. This song is specifically attractive for the music composition, lyrics and theme when it debuted.

This song reminds the past and compares how greener and full of possibility it was. The church bell and the lyrics make an out of the world illusion that only people who love it would realise. Every time I hear this song, I can feel my childhood, the sweet memory and the greener town I used to live. This is the song that opens the horizon for me to visit my past. I love this song from my heart. This music puts me in a sad yet charming mood. I feel sad that the past days won't be coming back and I won't have that childhood charm anymore. On the other hand, this song gives me a genuine pleasure of the memories of my childhood and all the friends and people I knew then.

You should say:

参考范文:

Honestly speaking, for the most part, I would probably say that I have a great passion for listening to music and indeed I have listened like thousands of songs so far. However, if I have to pick out a song that I like the most, I would probably choose the song Million Years Ago by Adele. By gorgeous lyrics and melody, it’s like a piece of cake for Adele to make me addicted to this song.

A significant feature that I should mention is the song’s meaningful content. It is a regretful calling inside an adult who has born his soul on the way of growing up and earning his stripes. Every now and then I feel he is so desperate that he could do anything to escape the cycle of his life but after all he can’t afford to do so. The reason why I am so fond of this song has something to do with the fact that it provokes so many beautiful memories from my childhood.

Although this song is a sad song, it opens my eyes to many things in life, one of them is that you should not take anything for granted, even the simplest one, try to live to your fullest so that one day you would not have to regret that much about the journey that you have been through. Fairly speaking, Million Years Ago is a really good songs for self – reflecting especially when you find yourself lost in the super busy world nowadays.

You should say:

What it is

Which country the song comes from

What story the song tells

And explain why you think it is interesting.

范文:

I would like to describe a song called “Hey Jude”, which was firstly sung by the English rock band the Beatles. Actually it’s a song McCartney wrote to cheer up a 5-year old boy Julian, during his parents' divorce. The song was first released in August 1968 as the first single from one of the Beatles' records. The song reached the top of both British and American charts. Then, it became an uplifting ballad that’s inspired the masses for decades.

I was also touched by the song the first time I heard it in my high school. I especially like the lyrics, which carry an encouraging message, like when he sings “make a sad song and make it better”. It taught us to be positive and optimistic when things aren’t going well. The lyrics and the tune always spark a bit of romance in my heart. I tended to listen to this song when I came across all kinds of frustration and failures in my life. It’s really a wake-up call for me and could drag me out of tough situations. Nowadays, I can’t help singing along with the song once it plays. It also had been covered by a series of singers worldwide. Interestingly, it was sung by 80,000 people in the stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games. The scene was spectacular, hard to describe in words!

The legendary song ‘Annie's Song’ by John Denver is a piece of music that I really like. I like this song so much that every time I listen to it, I get a fresh and inspiring feeling. This is probably the piece of song that I have listened several thousand times.

This is a song that always inspires me and I like the lyrics and the music of this song. John Denver and his band Beatles are always favourite to me and their songs are in my favourite list. The ‘Annie’s Song’ is a piece of work that the world will revere for a long. This is one of the most rated songs of the world history and I like it for the magical tone it has. I listen to music almost every day and this song is in my music player. So I would say I listen to this music one in every two days on an average.

This particular song was sung by a gifted singer and the lyric is pretty impressive. The music and vocal was just perfect to make it a legendary song. I love it because of its appeal and magical power to me.

篇5:关于迟到的雅思口语话题解读

雅思口语Part2:迟到

参考答案:

The city I live in has a severe problem of traffic jam and due to that we often get late. One such event when I was late in an important exam was a frustrating experience for me. It was 2 years ago when I was a student of the university. I had an exam at 8.30 am which I thought would be at 9.30 am. I did this mistake because I noted the time wrong in my notebook. I prepared for the exam well and left home at 8.15 am as my usual journey to my university takes around 40 minutes. According to the schedule, I should have reached at least 30 minutes before the exam time.

I already had wrong idea about the exam timing and over it I found that it was raining outside and there were very little transportation available in the road. I had to stand at the bus stoppage for more than 30 minutes before I actually got into a bus. To my surprise, the traffic on the road was very bad. The bug was moving very slowly because of the unavoidable traffic jam. I was hopping desperately to reach the university in time. But that was not my day! I reached at the exam hall at 10.15 am and I was shocked to learn that the exam would end only in 15 minutes. I was so worried and anxious that I could not think clearly what to do.

I felt helpless at that time and was asked the teacher what can I do now. He asked me to come after the exam ends. I followed him as soon as he left the exam room. I noticed that some of my classmates were also looking at me with surprise and were probably thinking how careless I was to miss such an important exam.

After I reach the class exam coordinator’s room, he took me to our advising tutor and asked me to give a good reason why I was late for the exam. I told everything that has happened and the coordinator arranged an exam in his room. As a penalty he deducted 20 minutes from the exam time and asked me to finish the exam and leave the answer sheet to him. I was kind of worried and felt bit relived also. As my preparation was good, I had been able to answer all the questions in the due time. Thus the situation was handled and I was not in a big trouble for the late I made unintentionally.

范文

There was one time when I got really late for an important appointment and nearly missed it. Today, I am going to share with you about that incident.

Two months ago, I sighed up for an IELTS test. My speaking exam was scheduled on June, 13th, 9:00 in the morning. I was supposed to report at the test venue no later than 8:30 am.

Unfortunately, it rained heavily on Sunday evening, right before my test day, and the weather forecast predicted incessant rain for a few days. Considering the bad weather, I set an alarm for 6:00 am and went to bed early. Truth is, I was feeling quite nervous through the whole night and couldn’t sleep well. Despite all that, I managed to wake up on time next morning. After getting everything ready, I left my home to catch the bus. To my surprise, when I arrived at the bus station, no buses or any other commuters were in operation, all stranded due to the bad weather.

It was quite chaotic at the bus station then, since no one knew when the bus service would be back in operation again. And for me, things got even worse, because there were no other means of transportation to reach Peking University, my test venue, from the place where I live. It was 7:50 am and I was still trapped at the bus station. My anxiety was building.

Fortunately, one of the buses started to move at 8:00 am and I rushed onto it without hesitation. However, it took a lot of time, longer than usual, for the bus to take us to Peking University. Guess what, we encountered a head-on collision between a truck and a car on our way there, which caused heavy traffic jam. Yeah, you can see it was definitely not my way.

Finally, I reached the test center at 8:55 am. I explained the situation to the test manager and asked him to put my name back on the list. He was very understanding. Later, I was given the permission to take the test.

Now, whenever I think about this incident, my heart just couldn’t stop beating fast. I guess I’ll just have to be more careful in the future to avoid things like that.

why you were late & how you explain your lateness

In order to avoid missing the plane, I arrived at the airport at 2ish pm. When I reached the airport, firstly I looked up the information of my flight as usual by the electronic notice board. I checked it many times and finally convinced myself of the departure time, which was 5.30 pm. Then I decided to wait for the time in a cafeterianear the check-in desk. It was about 4.30 that I came back to get my boarding cardand security pass. However, to my surprise, the plane had already gone! What was worse, no one took responsibility toexplain it to me of the wrong time writing on the board.

· Actually, it is considered to be rude and a lack of respect when you are late in some formal occasion.在正式场合迟到是鲁莽和有失尊重的。

· I was forbidden entering the examination class. 我被阻拦进考场。

· The consequences are others getting mad at them, relationships ending, or missing an event.结果是让别人无语,关系终结,或者错过重要的时事件。

· I did not catch up the excursion of my classmates and was left with loneliness.我没赶上同学们的郊游,落单了。

1. Do you (usually) wear a watch (a wrist watch)? (Why?)

· 不戴表的,用手机!No I have my mobile with me, it’s got a nice watch in it.

· 戴表的!I know some people say that with mobile phones, the wrist watch is out-dated. I disagree. A quick glimpse at your watch during a meeting or on the production line is a lot better then pulling out your cell phone. I find a watch to still be the most convenient method of time keeping.

· 戴表的,还戴得挺讲究!Yes, and I prefer to wear it on the inside of my wrist. I tend to scratch and otherwise damage watches that I wear on the outside. Wearing them on the inside prevents that.

2. What do you use your watch for?

· 用来计时的!I use it mainly for timing the speed.

· 用来装饰的!It’s a kind of ornament for me, actually. Wearing a watch has become more of a fashion statement.

· 看时间的。For me, it is always about knowing what time it is...as a reporter, I need to keep track of time...but I do care about style...and have always, since I began wearing a watch at about age eight, chosen styles I like, without regard to what is “in style”...

· 又看时间又讲究装饰的。Part fashion, part convenience for me. I have a Baby-G and it's digital. It's water proof because I don't want to take it off when I shower or go swimming. It also lights up so I can read it at night. It's in a cute style.

3. Do you think time is very important? (Why?)

· 时间是金钱!Time is money. Actually, time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained.

· 不要浪费时间!Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by people. Since time is an invisible thing, people often waste their time unconsciously(无意地). Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.

· 时间是宝贵的!Time is important. Time is valuable. Time is precious.

4. Are you ever late for anything?

· 上班迟到的。Yes I had a few times late last week for work, but I didn’t get into big trouble because most of the time I was early.

· 上学迟到想找借口的。I was late to school about 10 times so far this semester, which is going to screw me out of college.I need to come up for some really good excuses.

· 上学迟到想弥补的。I made some mistakes this year in attendance, I am trying to find out if there’s anything I can do to bring my grade up.

5. Do you think it's important to be on time?

· 绝对守时,迟到丢人!Yes. I always run on time and feel ashamed if I am late to anything. I am not obsessed but feel that if you are invited somewhere you should show the host the respect of being there when invited.. It just seems these days that nobody is on time and running late is the norm.

· 分场合迟到的!No. It has become expected to turn up to an informal event five minutes late, this is what most people do in America. However if punctuality is important for that event then it is considered extremely rude to turn up late.

· 守时是美德,但聚会除外!Punctuality is a virtue. Oh, being late is RUDE, there is no doubt about it. EXCEPT when going to a party -- then it's expected that you arrive a few minutes late. In fact, the host probably WANTS you to arrive a bit late... I know when I'm hosting a party, I'm always running around like crazy doing last minute things (like getting dressed!) and if a guest actually arrives on time, I'm not ready! Be kind, arrive 5 or 10 minutes late...

6. Do you feel that time moves fast or slowly?

· 时间随年龄增长变快!Age and size make a difference to whether time moves fast or slow. And thats not a matter of perception. The older you are, the faster times moves. Or, the faster you are, the slower time moves.

· 时间比想象的过得快!Daily, I find myself looking back and not being able to remember what happened, or how an event got so far away. A half a year seemed like two seconds. Even when you think time will never pass...it passes faster than expected.

· 人生苦短,及时享乐。life is short, its so true. But dont dwell on how much time has past or how fast the future is going to pass, just live you life. if you just live in the moment and have random spontaneous moments it will seem like your life is fuller even if it goes by in a flash.

· 束手无策,用日记记录时间。I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately we can't stop time, we can only make the most of it. Maybe try keeping a diary of what happens in your life if you are having trouble remembering what's happened. That way you can look back and reminisce on good times:)

7. When do you feel time moves slowly? (Why?)

· 伤心孤独时度日如年!When I'm alone and/or depressed time moves slowly for me...very slowly. When I'm with my girlfriend/family (sometimes-they can be a pain in the rear ya know?)/friends time moves fast.

· 等待的时候度日如年!I guess it really depends if you are doing something you enjoy or not. Also if you are waiting for something, time will move slow. If you are having a good time and want to cherish that moment and have it last forever-time is slipping by faster then you can blink. Time is never in your favor.

· 儿时等待长大,度日如年。When I was a child, I felt time moves slowly. Because as a child I had so little control over my own destiny, over my own life and i spent a great deal of time waiting for growing up.

8. If you could go back in time, would would you do?

· 不受欺负型!I would not let that boy from school bully mein my youth...i would also crush my self esteem and make it impossible for me to feel love or make new friends for fear of never being good enough..

· 改变历史型!That's an interesting question. Maybe I would go back and try to change something in history. Or, maybe I'd go back to my history.

· 不想回到过去型!Even if there was a such device...things would change in a paralel universto ours...The past is history , future is a mistery...that is why we are living in the present.

· 戒烟戒酒型!I would stay away from alcohol. its my best friend and worst enemy.

· 超级自恋型!I would go back, give my teen self a hug and tell her that she is beautiful, unique and special and that one day she will meet a guy who will love her just the way she is so she should just keep being true to herself and not do dumb things in order to get people to like her.

· 绝不后悔型!I would do the same thing all over again...im proud of what i have done and of my achievements....

· 人生因果论!None. I wouldn't give myself any advice. I am one of those people that believes that everything happens for a reason.I would never want to change anything about my life. Life lessons are important, especially the ones that brought me pain.

篇6:【Part2】雅思口语part2事件类话题

首先我们来说说“一件从数学中学到的事情”,拿到这个话题,先不要急着回答,可以用笔稍微构思一下思路,该怎么回答。首先,可以说一下这件事是什么、发生在什么时候,也就是作文中的事件和事件,这里需要注意的就是具体描述一下什么事但是又不能啰嗦累赘,而时间则可以大致概括点明即可。我们就从资料中的例子来说:高中的时候从乘法表中学到的一件事。

然后,要具体叙述一下这件事,即是最重要的部分,发生的地方、牵扯到的人物、以及这件事情影响到你的原因,为什么影响到你……

资料例子来说:在高中的一次数学竞赛中失败,以至于灰心丧气,甚至对自己产生怀疑,而此时数学老师拿乘法的规则来比喻人生中的失败与成功的关系来鼓励我,以至于我从失败中走出来,从新赢得了下一次的数学竞赛。这件事情使我明白了,生活就如同数学乘法,有无数种可能,多种多样,我们要坦然面对。

而这里的例子看似像我们中文作文中的思路,但是关键在于它表述方式以及用词造句,不能太中式化。这里的重点,就是描述事件经过,即“在高中的一次数学竞赛中失败,以至于灰心丧气,甚至对自己产生怀疑,而此时数学老师拿乘法的规则来比喻人生中的失败与成功的关系来鼓励我,以至于我从失败中走出来,从新赢得了下一次的数学竞赛。”而老师的话则是重中之重,因为他让我明白了道理“生活就如同数学乘法,有无数种可能,多种多样,我们要坦然面对。”也是我深深牢记的原因,以及这件事对我影响深刻的原因。

而最后,只需要简单概括,从这件事中学到的东西即可。其实这个话题思路并不是很难,关键在于烤鸭们的表述以及词汇的积累。

其实,大家都知道事件类话题是雅思口语考试中最简单的、最容易描述,却也是最常见的话题,所以大家要多注意积累素材、思考思路。其实“A way of communication”和“A good parent”这两个话题也可以用这个例子来阐述回答,而最关键的则是把老师的那段话稍作转述即可。例如,“A way of communication”我们可以先描述手机及其性能作用,以及现今的流行趋势,然后从一件事引到交流方式,还是那件事,还是那写话,只不过要突出老师用短信的方式告知我,最后,简单概述手机的用处及好处即可。是不是很简单呢?同样的,“A good parent”只需要根据情况把那些话转述为父母亲对你说的话,已经对你的影响,所以一个模板真的是百搭哦!

那么我们赶紧来看看还有哪些话题可以这样转换呢?

多米诺骨牌效应:=Something you learned from math=Something you learned from your family=A piece of advice=A change you had=An important stage in your life=A text message you got=A letter you got=An E-mail you got=A way of communication=An important decision you made=A person who helped you=A kind thing someone did to you=A family member you love talking to=A good parent=An elderly family member=A neighbor=A good friend=A teacher=A science course you took=A subject you love/d at school=Your personality=First day of college=Your experience of getting money as a gift=Your experience of getting congratulations=A person you helped=A thing your friend did made you admire.

篇7:【Part2】雅思口语part2事件类话题

一、提到考官,使之与话题联系在一起

在谈到“Describe a hobby you have”这一话题时,一位考生是这样开场的:

Today I am going to talk about collecting postcards—a hobby that is both fascinating and financially rewarding. I would like to explain the basic kinds of collectible postcards, why they are so valuable, and how collectors buy and sell their cards.

而另一位考生则给出了不一样的开场白:

It’s Saturday morning,and you are helping clean out your grandmother’s house.After working a while,you stumble upon a trunk,open it,and discover hundreds of old postcards.Thinking about getting to your driving lesson on time, you start tossing the cards into the trash can.Congratulations!You have just thrown away a year’s tuition.

对比之后,我们很快就发现,第二位考生的开场白效果比第一位考生的开场白好,因为它很好地将考官融入进来,抓住了考官的兴趣点,使之后主干部分的陈述更为顺利。

二、强调话题的重要性

在谈到“Describe a traffic jam you had experienced before”这一话题时,一位考生的开场白值得大家借鉴:

Traffic jams are more than a nuisance.They are a worldwide economic problem.In Guangzhou alone,they cost 12 million yuan each year.In major U.S.cities,they are responsible for more than 21 billion liters of wasted fuel and 68 billion dollars in lost productivity.Traffic jams will soon cost the British economy more than 20 billion pounds sterling a year.

这个开场白很好地运用了数据,强调了交通堵塞在经济问题中扮演的重要角色,有效地吸引了考官的眼球。

三、让考官惊讶

有时,令人惊讶的事实能够马上提高我们的兴趣。如以下一位考生的开场白,他在描述“an outdoor activity”前,先介绍了疾病的可怕:

As I speak today, there is a silent killer hiding near here.Who is this silent killer?Not a robber.Not a thief.Not a criminal. It is high blood pressure.

这样的开场白不仅让考官产生兴趣,也为后面描述为什么喜欢户外活动打下基础。

雅思口语评分四大标准及得分要素

标准一:语言的流畅度与连贯性Fluency &Coherence

考官会听什么:

(1)语言是否流畅。考生能否连续地说,还是需要放慢语速才能继续说下去?是否需要重复说过的话才能保证不停顿?能否自然地使用话语标记?

(2)语言是否连贯。考生说的话是否言之有理?是否回答了问题?能够一直紧密围绕着话题讲吗?

得分要素:我们在书中编排了一些可改善语言流畅度和连贯性的练习。由于语言是一个有机的整体,丰富的词汇能使你的语言变得更通顺——你脑海中的词汇越多,你就越能自然流畅地表达自己的观点,也就能避免发言时卡壳和放慢语速,而这些正是将考生得分局限在5 分以下的问题。

标准二:语法知识的广度及准确度Grammatical Range &Accuracy

考官会听什么:

(1)语法广度。考生是否能运用简单句和复合句?是否会使用各种时态?

(2) 语法准确度。考生用的语法准确吗?是否用对了形容词比较级和名词复数形式?是否能意识到主谓一致?动词的形式是否正确?代词和介词的使用是否正确?

得分要素:考生需要向考官展示出自己能正确运用语法的能力,比如能正确使用介词和动词时态。但只是做到准确还不够,考生还要掌握各种语法结构。考官会看考生有没有正确使用话语标记?是否能使用复合句?介词用对了吗?会使用比较级吗?能运用几种动词时态?会使用条件句吗?

标准三:词汇Vocabulary

考官会听什么:

考生的词汇量有多大?所用词汇是否多数属于基本词汇,只是偶尔夹杂一两个不常用的词汇?词汇的使用是否正确?是否能够始终用丰富的词汇表达各种意思?

得分要素:背单词的确会有用,但掌握词汇的捷径永远是阅读。如果你真想得到7 分,你就应该开始阅读英语书籍。

标准四:发音Pronunciation

考官会听什么:

(1)语音。考生是否能够掌握好英语的发音,比如development或 vital 中v的发音?语音是否容易让人理解?

(2)节奏。考生是否能够掌握英语的说话节奏?停顿的地方正确吗?语言的语调和重音是否自然?

得分要素:多数中国考生能让考官比较容易地理解他们的意思。但问题是,许多考生掌握不好说英语的节奏。在当今社会,音频资源唾手可得,所以这个问题还是能通过不断模仿和练习来克服的。

熟悉雅思口语考试的同学们都知道,雅思评分有“四大怪”,即考官按四项标准分别评等级分:流利性与连贯性(fluency and coherence)、词汇多样性(lexical range)、语法多样性及准确性(grammaticalrange and accuracy)、发音(pronunciation)。

而这“四大怪”之首——流利性与连贯性着实给很多烤鸭挖了个大坑,许多同学觉得流利就意味着说得快,因此一个劲地想要提升自己的语速,恨不能练成英文版的“报菜名”。而很多同学常用的伎俩就是背诵大段的成文,然后在考试的时候一字不漏地以迅雷不及掩耳之势背出来,彰显自己的语速。殊不知语速(speed of speaking)这个要素却丝毫没有出现在雅思官方对于流利性与连贯性地解读中。

其实,背诵成文的做法不仅会加大考生在考试时的压力,还会使表达显得生硬且不自然。

是不是很多同学感觉做了许多无用功?那怎么办?!

不要担心,咱们这就从正确的角度认真剖析一下所谓的“流利性与连贯性”,并且给出正确高效的备考建议。

在流利性和连贯性上,雅思口语主要考查以下几个方面:一是详尽表达的能力,包括符合逻辑地组织观点、进行适当的语义指示等能力;二是表达观点、就自己的观点进行辩护、就出现的话题进行讨论及推测的能力;三是在表达过程中没有不自然的停顿或是重复使用相同的词。

我懂我懂,这翻译了跟没翻译一样,中文也看不明白是个啥,别着急,咱们一条一条来剖析。

1.逻辑表达、语义指示

雅思在本质上是一项重视应用的考试,其终极目的是帮助考生在英文环境下交流,因此对于口语考试,能够清楚、有逻辑地表达也才是终极的评判标准。

那么有逻辑的表达指的是什么呢?这首先要求考生能够按照西方人的思维逻辑习惯组织自己的思路。简单来说,西方人的思考方式比较直接,基本可以用“总分总”这三个字来概括,即先开门见山摆明自己的观点、提供论据进行论述、总结自己的观点。像咱们中国人惯用的那些比兴啊、抒情啊,甚至像《红楼梦》这种十几章了连主角还没出场的思路,就千万不要再沿用了。一定要简单直白,否则外国人的思维是无法承受的!

其次呢,就是要学会语义指示,也就是要学会用一些表达方法,包括词、词组、句式,来暗示自己的思路,告诉别人你下一步要说什么。这类表达方法包括表示比较对比的similarly, in contrast;表示回应他人观点的I agree/disagree with this point;表示举例的for example, a good case in point is that…等等。

2.表达与讨论观点

在西方大学的课堂里,一定会遇到的就是根据某个话题阐述自己的观点,并且进行讨论甚至辩论,这部分表现还有可能被记入成绩,考虑到学生们的这个需求,雅思口语考试也充分考察学生表达和讨论的能力。

在这部分,非常重要的一个能力就是要能够详尽地论述你的观点(build on your point of view)。尤其是在回答part2的时候,很多同学在表述了自己的基本观点后会发生脑子“短路”的现象,完全不知道接下来该说什么,从而出现大量的空白时间,还怎么可能显得流利连贯呢?针对这种现象,大家可以记住几个常见的论述套路,到时候就不怕无话可说啦:

原因与结果(reasons and effects)

比较(comparison)

举例 (examples)

个人经历 (personal experiences)

3.不卡壳、不重复

上面我们已经说过,过分强调语速是雅思口语备考的一个大坑,其中一个重要原因

是,担心怎么才能说快,并强迫自己使用超出自己能力的语速,这样做是会占用脑容量的!其结果就是你没有脑子来整理思路,准备接下来要说的内容,并且容易过度紧张,导致瞬间智商降为负,“卡壳”的尴尬情况就这样产生了。所以,想要做到不卡壳,除了咱们硬实力要过硬外,一个重要的小技巧,就是宁可语速适当放缓一些,把意思说完整、发音弄清晰,当然了,这里说的是适当放缓,大家还是要注意时间哦。另外,大家要放轻松,谨记在你对面坐着的是一个活生生的human being,咱们人人对话的好处就在于,你说错了可以改一下,说偏了可以解释回来,毕竟在生活中表达出错也是难免,雅思考官本着实用为本的原则,也会谅解不影响表意、意外发生的小错误的。

备考建议:

1.在平时的阅读、听力中注意他人的语言组织、表达方式,注意积累:

语言指示表达法

同一个意思的不同表达方式

大家可以在以下几个网站找到适合的阅读、听力材料进行练习:

BBCLearnEnglish:www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish

LearnEnglish免费英语学习网站:learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/zh-hans/

VOA - Voice of America:learningenglish.voanews.com/

2.练习阐述一个观点,最好找一个speaking buddy(不一定是外国人,中国小伙伴也是可以的),两个人共同讨论一个话题,练习对对方的论述做出回应

3.练习时将自己所说的内容录下来,然后对照评分标准复听,修改后再录音练习,如此反复,直到答案能够符合评分标准为止。

4.Practice, practice, practice!语言学习没有捷径,方法可以总结,苦功还是要下,没有环境,创造环境也要练,常常和你的小伙伴们用英文对话吧!

说了这么多,其实总结起来,就是备考的关键是把观念摆正:雅思口语考试的本意是让大家真正地提升口语水平,并且能够在国外的生活、学习中清楚、自如地表达自己的意思,所以大家在准备时也应该谨记这一点,把表达放在第一位,而不要片面地理解评分标准或者过度迷信所谓的高分捷径。换句话说,当咱们踏踏实实地把口语应用水平提上去的时候,雅思考试的分数也自然不会低啦。

篇8:雅思口语话题描述一首有趣的歌曲

雅思口语话题题目:

Describe an interesting song you like.

You should say:

What it is

Which country the song comes from

What story the song tells

And explain why you think it is interesting.

雅思口语话题参考文本:

I would like to describe a song called “Hey Jude”, which was firstly sung by the English rock band the Beatles. Actually it's a song McCartney wrote to cheer up a 5-year old boy Julian, during his parents' divorce. The song was first released in August 1968 as the first single from one of the Beatles' records. The song reached the top of both British and American charts. Then, it became an uplifting ballad that's inspired the masses for decades.

I was also touched by the song the first time I heard it in my high school. I especially like the lyrics, which carry an encouraging message, like when he sings “make a sad song and make it better”. It taught us to be positive and optimistic when things aren't going well. The lyrics and the tune always spark a bit of romance in my heart. I tended to listen to this song when I came across all kinds of frustration and failures in my life. It's really a wake-up call for me and could drag me out of tough situations. Nowadays, I can't help singing along with the song once it plays. It also had been covered by a series of singers worldwide. Interestingly, it was sung by 80,000 people in the stadium during the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. The scene was spectacular, hard to describe in words!

雅思口语高分词汇以及表达:

1.cheer up 等于 encourage, 表示鼓励某人,大家要注意在考场上,可以尽量多地使用这样的短语表达(雅思口语)

2.release,我们一般说歌曲发行时要用到这个动词,first single 表示第一首单曲(雅思口语)

3. 这里的 chart 表示音乐排行榜,比如我们知道的 Spotify 或者是 Billboard(雅思口语)

4.reach the top of the chart 表示横扫榜单,当然还有一个同义替换词,chart buster(雅思口语)

5.uplifting ballad 指的是鼓舞人心的歌谣,我们要学会用这个词来替换 song(雅思口语)

6.carry an encouraging message 表示传递一种正能量,当我们描述电影或者是歌曲传递一种特殊的情绪时,要学会用 carry 这个动词(雅思口语)

7.spark a bit of romance 表示唤起内心的浪漫感觉,spark 作为动词,表示激起或者唤起(雅思口语)

篇9:雅思口语话题描述一首有趣的歌曲

You should say:

What it is

Which country the song comes from

What story the song tells

And explain why you think it is interesting.

雅思口语Part 2范文:Both Of Us

主题:Both Of Us by BOB and Taylor Swift

口语part范文内容:这首歌是关于那些试图实现他们梦想的人。它讲述了他们的斗争,他们的情感,以及当世界拒绝他们时的感受。

I really love music and over the years there are lot many songs that have come up to inspire me and help me to get out of the rut that I am living in. But, the one song that I really fell in love and have enjoyed over the years is, “Both Of Us by BOB and Taylor Swift”.

The song is about the people who are trying to fulfill their dreams. It talks off their struggle, their emotions and how they feel when the world rejects them. The singer says that he is there for all of the people who are trying to fulfill their dreams. It is about how it is not about just lifting yourself from rut but also the people near you.

I love this song because in some ways it helps me to stay focused and move on towards my dreams. It is very motivating and the background music is amazing. I remember hearing this song on a loop when the days are tough and I am not able to do anything. Because it is on these days that I can fully relate with this song.

Most of the people hear to it, most probably the ones who are bothered about something or are trying hard to achieve something in their lives. It is that powerful, that strong, that you can actually feel powered hearing it.

雅思口语高分需要哪些通用礼仪

要重点注意的几个礼仪如下:

1、动作:同学们的眼睛千万不要晃,不要老眨眼,这是消极的表现,要不时面带笑容,看考官的鼻子,不要看眼睛,这样你会很紧张,你看考官的鼻子的地方,从他的角度看你是看着他的眼睛的。男女生挺直不能依靠椅子,男生双手要分别放在大腿,女生双手放在左大腿上,身体稍微有点倾斜。

2、手表:西方国家的人很看重“手表”,无论我在外交部,大使馆给国家领导人做翻译,还是跟外教一起聊英语教学,都发现他们很喜欢带表,他们称带表的人为“a man of time”(有时间观念的人),所以同学们考试时一定要带表。

3、颜色:颜色会使一个人的感觉变动,而如果全部同学都是穿白色或浅色的衣服,而你穿了黑色,那你就会给人耳目一新的感觉。在所有我接触过的考官,都喜欢一种颜色,那就是绿色,那是代表“love ,hope ,life and energy\",并且澳大利亚的国色是绿色。我推荐大家穿绿色,蓝色和黄色。这样会让所有的外国考官都会喜欢。

4、结束:当考官最后说了一句:that's all。一般同学们都会说:thanks, goodbye. 这样的印象分也是很差的,一般第三部分的分数是等你出了门,考官才会写下去,所以最后的一句话往往是加分的。同学们牢记好三句话:thanks very much for your time ,and I enjoy taking with you . Have a good day ,__(加上考官的名字,并且握手)。 雅思口语的三部分,同学们都知道第一部分最简单,第二部分动用自己的想象力去描述,第三部分最难,但最关键的是第一部分,也就是从你进门那一刻开始。下面我与大家分享下外交级的礼仪,如何让考官非常喜欢你。下面的“T”代表考官,“S”代表你。 T:Come in please.(在门口叫你) S:thank you 后,轻声关门,马上走到考官前说:my name is _x.(一定要说中文名,不能说英文名),然后马上请问对方的名字:how do you like me to address you ,sir?(这句话是外交级的语言,对方肯定会告诉你名字),假设考官说的是Ken, 你马上微笑的回答:Oh, Ken, (惊讶的表情),nice name, glad to meet you.(伸出手,要有力) 。 T:说完后考官肯定说thanks, 然后说sit down ,please. S:同学们不要马上坐下,因为当时考官还是站着的,你要说:you please.(你先请) 。

雅思口语高分需避免沉默

其一,面对很多话题,同学们只能说出寥寥数语,而且绝大多数同学所说的内容基本雷同。如a famous animal in China,中国学生的标准答案就是panda,而且关于panda,同学们除了说出It has white body and black eyes或者It's cute之外,几乎没有区别于其他同学的内容。

其二,在面对相当数量的话题时,同学们感到无话可说。例如a wedding you have attended,很多同学称自己没有参加过任何婚礼,导致在考场上语塞。

首先,同学们明白一个事实,那就是:雅思口语中未必一定要说真话。因为通常,真话是我们根本就不了解这个话题,就算能说出来,恐怕和其他学生也差不多,是一个既无趣又单调的答案。这样一个答案,在雅思考试中肯定不能获得理想的分数。所以,只要答案是合情合理,前后不矛盾,我们就可以使用。总之,在谈话中,我们要做的只是一个忠实的story teller。

所以说还是建议大家最好参加一些雅思口语辅导班,掌握更多的雅思口语技巧能够帮助大家取得更高的分数。

本着这样一个原则,我们就可以着手准备素材了。在这里谈几个准备的方法。

首先要学会做有心人,平时和同学、朋友聊天,要多注意收集他人的人生经历。比如一个同学绘声绘色地描述了他去云南游玩的经历,即便你本人没有去过云南,也可以把这一段话改编成一段出色的雅思口语trip题答案;

其次,如果确实对于某个话题感到无话可说。我们可以借助现在最为发达的网络平台来寻找答案。例如在准备describe a park这道题目的时候,南京同学往往会将目标锁定在Xuan Wuhu lake park上,所以我们会听到许多同学描述完全相同的事物,如There's a zoo indside of it, and there're different kinds of animal in it, such as…这样的描述确实难以令考官产生兴趣。那么如果我们借助网络来搜索答案,又可以得到什么结果呢?在Google或者维基百科(Wikipedia)中,我们输入关键词 Disneyland, California, 就能得到全部的关于加州迪斯尼的资料。从这个公园产生的背景,到这个公园各个部分的简介。比如关于其中一个叫做 Redwood Greek Challenge Trail的景点,我们得到了以下信息:

Redwood Creek Challenge Trail (opened February 8, 2001) : A play area for kids, featuring a Mount Shasta wilderness-like setting and suspension and wire bridges. It also features rock climbing and a Brother Bear scene cave. It is also designed for adventurous adults.

这段文字描述加上旁边配上的图片,能让我们清楚了解这一个景点的具体情况。那么我们稍稍将这段话做一点点改编和扩充,把它当作是我们自己的经历,就是一小段不错的谈话。

Well, I don't have a certain favorite attraction in particular, but if I have to say, I'd probably say it is Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Actually, it's a play area for kids but it also attracts a young adult like me for its design. It is a mount shape background with a exciting suspension and wire bridge, and also a cute brother bear cave which even fascinates a lot of adults.

不难看出,上面一段口语答案和关于Xuan Wuhu Lake Park的描述,无论从评分的哪个角度,都是关于Disneyland的这一段获胜。

不过在网络搜索的过程中,切记三个原则,第一,搜索的关键词要具体不要抽象,如果搜索describe a park,就不如搜索一个具体的公园Disneyland得到的信息多;第二,得到了文字信息之后,一定要在资料的基础上进行改编,因为得到的资料是书面语,我们要将它修改成口语稿才能使用;第三,一定要反复对着镜子练习自己的说话方式,把这些句子熟练掌握,内化为自己的观点,并能把它自然地说出来,而不是“背”出来,如果考官发现是在背诵而不是叙述,肯定会给你一个很低的分数。
