雅思英語(yǔ)|雅思口語(yǔ)抽象類的話題怎樣說(shuō)才顯得具體?
在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中,有2類話題比較棘手,一類是專業(yè)性較強(qiáng)的話題如體育類,理科知識(shí)類等。另一類就是抽象類話題,如法律類,成功類,社會(huì)類等等。
今天我們就給大家講解抽象類的話題怎樣說(shuō)才顯得具體有料。
雅思口語(yǔ)話題中有很多是顯得很抽象,考生在看到這些話題的時(shí)候,很大部分人都不知道該如何做才能把抽象化為具體。下面就為大家整理了相關(guān)資料讓大家把抽象的雅思口語(yǔ)話題化為具體。
下面舉一個(gè)在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中出現(xiàn)的話題:How popular are brand names where you live?
即“名牌在你住的地方有多受歡迎?”。很多考生這個(gè)時(shí)候就會(huì)很簡(jiǎn)單的回答“Very popular”或者“Not very popular”,然后絞盡腦汁萬(wàn)般無(wú)奈中又加上一句“I (don’t) like brand names”。
這樣的雅思口語(yǔ)話題無(wú)疑就是非常抽象的。如果考生的回答過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單的,考官一般也就會(huì)認(rèn)為考生的英語(yǔ)水平非?;?。要知道,一旦和basic搭上邊,考分就在5分封頂了。
所謂“化抽象為具體”就是要舉例說(shuō)明。如果你說(shuō)很多年輕人寧愿餐餐吃泡面,也要買名牌手袋,那么考官自然就能感受到名牌對(duì)人們來(lái)說(shuō)是多么重要。反過(guò)來(lái),如果你說(shuō)很多人腰纏萬(wàn)貫,卻能在超市里隨便買件t-shirt穿著,那么你就很明白的告訴了別人名牌產(chǎn)品在社會(huì)中影響力并不是那么大的。
再舉個(gè)常見(jiàn)的雅思口語(yǔ)話題的例子,描述自己的家鄉(xiāng),要描寫一個(gè)旅行中去過(guò)的地方。如果不能化抽象為具體,我們就只能說(shuō)某某地方很美,說(shuō)beautiful, fabulous, gorgeous 這些,即使加上諸如wonderful, amazing, fantastic這樣的表示驚嘆的詞語(yǔ),然后還是沒(méi)什么說(shuō)的。
如果描寫上海是個(gè)摩登大都市,我們可以舉外灘這個(gè)例子,說(shuō)說(shuō)那里有古老的歐洲建筑,有零零總總的各大銀行,還有各式的高級(jí)商鋪。雖然只是描繪了上海的某一個(gè)地方,但是對(duì)于聽(tīng)眾來(lái)說(shuō),已經(jīng)為他描述了一幅栩栩如生的畫面。這樣的描述就比較到位了,同時(shí)也避免了無(wú)話可說(shuō)的尷尬局面。
這兩種化抽象為具體的雅思口語(yǔ)話題的例子告訴我們,其實(shí),這樣的轉(zhuǎn)換也就是考生的思路和表達(dá)方式的轉(zhuǎn)化,之后大家不僅有話可以說(shuō)了,而且知道可以怎么說(shuō),也就可以順利完成雅思口語(yǔ)考試了。
舉例
Describe a success in your life是雅思口語(yǔ)話題卡事件類的一道常青樹(shù)考題。作為一個(gè)抽象類的題目,很多雅思考生反映比較難以描述。其實(shí)只要遵循一個(gè)原則,即“抽象問(wèn)題具象化,復(fù)雜問(wèn)題簡(jiǎn)單化”就可以順利的把成功這張?jiān)掝}卡片描述得生動(dòng)。
對(duì)于第二種成功,我們可以理解為自己設(shè)定的目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)。正所謂,一千人眼中有一千個(gè)不同的哈姆雷特。每個(gè)人對(duì)成功的定義都不一樣,每個(gè)人都有自己的成功??梢悦枋龅挠校?/p>
成功的掌握了一項(xiàng)技能:做飯/開(kāi)車/游泳(=a skill you want to learn)
成功的做了一個(gè)東西:禮物/手工藝品/車模/航模 (= a handicraft)
成功戒煙/戒酒/戒游戲/減肥/克服羞澀(= change in life/something difficult you did well)
成功指導(dǎo)或幫助別人戒煙/戒酒/戒游戲/減肥/克服羞澀(=someone you helped)
成功地維權(quán)(=something you bought but you were not happy with,講買的東西有質(zhì)量問(wèn)題,不滿意,要求索賠,終成功)
成功地脫險(xiǎn)(=an unforgettable event)
成功地與病魔抗?fàn)?=a change in life, a happy moment, a piece of good news)
以下是一篇雅思口語(yǔ)范文,以減肥為例:
Describe a success in your life.
You should say:
What was it
When did you get this success
How to get it
And explain with whom/what did you do in this success
分析:該題要求描述過(guò)去的一次成功經(jīng)歷,以上所述話題準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容均適用,注意時(shí)態(tài)的正確選用,講清楚成功的來(lái)龍去脈即可。
I never exercised, and most days I just stayed at home watching TV. I didn't realize I'd gained weight until I tried to zip up my favorite pair of jeans. When I couldn't get the zipper to go all the way up, I panicked and decided I had to take action at once. So I made a weight loss plan which was actually quite simple, eat less and exercise more.
我從不鍛煉,大部分時(shí)間我只是呆在家里看電視。直到我試著拉上我最喜歡的牛仔褲的拉鏈,我才意識(shí)到我的體重增加了。當(dāng)我拉不上拉鏈時(shí),我驚慌失措,決定立刻采取行動(dòng)。所以我制定了一個(gè)減肥計(jì)劃,其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單,少吃多運(yùn)動(dòng)。
Well, what has been the big success that makes me proud of in my life? It definitely goes to my weight loss story. This past summer vacation, I gained 10 kilograms because all I did
那么,在我的一生中,有什么大的成功讓我感到驕傲呢?這肯定和我的減肥故事有關(guān)。去年暑假,因?yàn)槲宜龅囊磺校以黾恿?0公斤
First of all, I quit snacking at night, which was what caused me to gain weight in the first place. I cut out all empty calories from my diet (fast food, sweets, soda, etc.) and really focused on only eating clean nutrient dense foods. Second, I made it a rule to go swimming every morning. As hard as it was in the beginnings I didn't give up when things got tough.
首先,我晚上不再吃零食,這是我體重增加的首要原因。我從我的飲食中剔除了所有的空熱量(快餐、糖果、汽水等),只專注于吃干凈營(yíng)養(yǎng)豐富的食物。其次,我養(yǎng)成了每天早上去游泳的習(xí)慣。盡管一開(kāi)始很艱難,但當(dāng)事情變得艱難時(shí),我沒(méi)有放棄。
I persevered because I know there are no shortcuts to losing weight. In two months, I managed to lose eight kilos. The changes were incredible, which was amazing, really! What's more, I am healthier than ever before. I feel much more athletic now. I have an overall sense of well being that I never experienced when I was heavier. I have so much more energy and I also sleep better. And the most important thing is, I gained confidence from successfully solving my problem.
我堅(jiān)持下來(lái),因?yàn)槲抑罍p肥沒(méi)有捷徑。在兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間里,我成功地減掉了8公斤。變化是難以置信的,這是驚人的,真的!更重要的是,我比以前更健康。我現(xiàn)在覺(jué)得運(yùn)動(dòng)能力好多了。我有一種整體上的幸福感,這是我重的時(shí)候從來(lái)沒(méi)有過(guò)的。我有更多的精力,我也睡得更好。最重要的是,我從成功地解決我的問(wèn)題中獲得了信心。
I feel especially flatted when others can hardly believe I was a much bigger girl. It was really a success.
當(dāng)別人很難相信我是一個(gè)大得多的女孩時(shí),我感到特別沮喪。這真的是一次成功。
以上就是雅思口語(yǔ)抽象話題怎樣能說(shuō)得具體的全部?jī)?nèi)容,文中給到的具體例子雖然題目非常地抽象,需要我們描述一個(gè)成功的經(jīng)歷,但是例文中的事件卻非常接近生活,即使是貼近生活的減肥成功這樣一個(gè)小小的成功經(jīng)歷,我們也是可以用在雅思口語(yǔ)當(dāng)中化抽象為具體的。
