雅思口语高难度话题解析:体育

2013-02-26来源:和谐英语

  雅思口语话题的思路非常重要,因为逻辑结构是评分的一个重要构成因素,特别是对于比较难,考生平时接触比较少的雅思口语话题,思路的重要性就更加凸显了,只有思路对了,自己回答整个雅思口语话题才会有正确的方向,那么对于比较难的雅思口语话题,要如何调整自己的思路呢?

  体育事件

  文体爱好这个话题是雅思口语考试中老生常谈,备受考官青睐的热门主题。而从2012年年初开始,运动这个话题尤其火热,与其相关的问题可以贯穿于雅思口语三个部分。可能一般学生都会认为这个话题比较简单,因为我们大部分烤鸭们更多的是在讲运动给我们带来的好处,比如说make us stronger andhealthier, build our strength and lift our spirit,takemy mind off the things that annoy me等等。毋庸置疑这些想法绝对没有错,但是对于考官来说这是非常boringand dull, 缺乏创意的,十足的cliche。所以雅思口语对于运动的考点也在不断的改革和包装,尤其在PartII的卡片题中,由老题Describe an outdoor activity转变成Your favorite physicalactivity, 再转变成A sport event/ A sport star you like, 最近又演变成A sportevent you watched on TV。我们不难发现,雅思口语考试对于运动考点的难度系数越来越高。打破传统的简单描述单项运动,考官更想听到的是烤鸭们能够就某一种运动比如说篮球,足球运动过程的表达,尤其是在一个具体体育事件中的运动员的表现和技巧,并且是通过电视(没有现场的激动的体验),这需要烤鸭们具备运动相关的专有性词汇,而不是一些非常简单的形容词的罗列。但是对于大部分的烤鸭们来说,他们本身对于体育就是一个layman, 除非有非常强的兴趣和平时积累,否则就只能求人品过关了。

  在笔者的教学经验中,我一直给学生们灌输的一个思想就是想法决定一切。尤其是PartII的Event部分,你的开场决定考官对你的印象和关注,你选择描述的方向决定你的成败。对于体育事件,很多烤鸭们当下的反应可能就是李娜的Tennis Tournament, 郭晶晶的DivingCompetition, 或者是姚明的basketball game。其实烤鸭们可以有很多选择,但是考虑到第三部分引申出来的问题,你的选择的前提一定是在能力范围内并且容易发挥,能够有所创新的。在这里,天道小编给大家提供两个可供参考的选择:

  A. 2008 Olympicgames held in Beijing

  B. International Pair FigureSkating Tournament

  对于前者,大家都耳熟能详,但是烤鸭们要想拿高分就必须做到求同存异;对于后者,听觉的创新会足以让考官印象深刻。而且,不能忽略的是在两个事件中我们可以找到值得我们中国人为之骄傲的地方,这恰恰是短时间要参加雅思口语考试的烤鸭们需要的捷径。那我们要如何展开呢?接下来笔者还是会根据之前一直在强调的逻辑展开方式—Impressive开场和Meaningful结尾来解析,当然针对这个话题,我们还需要做的是补充多彩的Details.

  开场:对于很多抽象性和艺术性话题,比如说Amovie, A piece of music, 很多考生们在开场时就会显得平庸和单调,缺乏亮点和说服力,从而显得非常不真实。其实,对于任何一个人,在他的一生中都不仅仅只看过一部电影,或者只听过一首歌,或者只看过一次体育事件,而在考试时你只能选择其中一场或者一部,跟其他的相比,这一场或者一部一定是独特的。

  As a big fan of sports,I have watched dozens of both domestic and international sport events so far,among which, the most impressive/unforgettable one should be the 2008 Olympicgames held in Beijing/ International Pair Figure Skating Tournament that Iwatched on TV around 4 years ago.

  展开:对于事件性话题的展开,或者在讲故事时,我们不能忘记的是Everythinghappens with reasons, 我们可以以该体育事件的重要性或者独特性为热身,导入。TheOlympic Games is considered to be the most important international sporting andcultural festival which attracts people from almost every corner of the worldto watch. Winning the chance to hold the Olympic Games can even bring greatglory and honor to a country; 值得骄傲的是,China was announced to bethe host of 2008 Olympic Games, in which Chinese nation takes pride 所以As one of patriotic Chinese,I could not help waiting in front of TV and watching it. 但是大家知道,奥运会包括多项运动项目,对于该话题,烤鸭们是非常有必要讲到自己所喜欢的项目的。或者Itwas the final of the International Pair Figure Skating Tournament that capturedpeople’s attention and imagination. Actually, I am not a big skating fan, and Ieven used to be fear of skating which is like an impossible mission for me. But4 years ago when I turned on TV and watched the sport event by chance, I wastotally amused by the performance of the elite skaters from different countrieslike Sweden, Russia and China competing for the championship. Their gracefuland fluid footwork was very impressive, when the female skater spun around herpartner, she was like a lightsome butterfly. And what was the climax of theevent for me was the moment when Chinese athletes Shen Xue and Zhao Hongboentered the rink. I was extremely surprised to see Chinese faces who are thetop pair of skaters in China. With great excitement and expectation, I concentratedall my attention on the screen. They effortlessly executed every element intheir programme: difficult throws, spins and a high triple-twist. Their rarelyseen forward-outside death spiral earned them prolonged applause from theaudiences and a higher mark than the proceeding athletes.

  结尾:对于事件话题,可能大部分烤鸭们觉得很简单,草草的用一些形容词比如说happy, memorable来收尾,这是没有很强的说服力的,更多的是需要衬托出对于这个事件的收获。

  The Olympic Games/ InternationalPair Figure Skating Tournament was really a visual feast which is filled withmagic and miracle. Although it always comes with success and failure, thespirit and effort that athletes show us tell us how important it is for us torise to the challenge and never compromise on difficulties and fear.

  虽然说雅思口语话题准备的时间是非常短的,但是也是非常重要的,所以更要充分的利用,在短时间内要整理好自己针对一个话题的雅思口语话题思路,用思路来组织自己的语言和句子,这样才会获得高分。
