雅思口語part2素材積累:地點類
NO.1 A Historic Site
Describe an interesting historic site that you visited.
You should say:
· where it was
· what you saw at this site
· what role it played in history
and explain what interested you about that place
話題類別:Place
難點解析:對于歷史建筑的描述,在強(qiáng)調(diào)它的歷史作用時多少會涉及到歷史作用時多少會涉及到歷史知識以及一些專有名詞的表達(dá)。而不管是選擇中國的還是國外的歷史建筑,鑒于平日里談?wù)摰脴O少,考試前沒有足夠的準(zhǔn)備就很難開口。
備考策略:考前可以結(jié)合其它描述地點或建筑的話題一起準(zhǔn)備:Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等,例如北京故宮里的建筑,即是古老而傳統(tǒng)的建筑,又是很重要的博物館,也可以是自己最喜歡的建筑。甚至還可以把它放到Describe the best tourist attraction in China,或者可以描述里面的an interesting exhibition,所以只要提前做好充足的功課,遇到其它問題也都可以迎刃而解。
NO.2 A Place Not Polluted
Describe a place which is not polluted.
You should say:
· where this place is
· what it looks like
· what kind of place is not polluted
and explain what you think about pollution
話題類別:Place
難點解析:如今,在我們工作和生活的環(huán)境當(dāng)中,要描述一個被污染的地方容易,但要描述一個沒有被污染的地方就比較難了。眾所周知,現(xiàn)在的環(huán)境污染問題之嚴(yán)重,乃至于大家都已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了,平日里很難接觸亦或是有機(jī)會去到更像是世外桃源般的沒有被污染過的地方。
備考策略:從題目的細(xì)節(jié)可以看出,這樣的地方也并不是一定要自己親自去過才能描述的,雜志上,電視節(jié)目上曾經(jīng)介紹過像原始氏族部落聚居的周邊地區(qū)或無人居住的自然區(qū)域都可以描述??忌€可以探討這些地方?jīng)]有被污染到的原因,如何保護(hù)它們繼續(xù)不受污染等相對寬泛些的方面。

雅思口語Part2話題之【地點類】
經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的地點類考題如下:
1、Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit
2、Describe an interesting shop
3、Describe a workplace
4、Describe a hotel/restaurant
5、Describe a historic site
6、Describe a nature beauty
7、Describe your ideal house
8、Describe a park/garden
9、Describe a special street
10、Describe a river/lake
11、Describe a place near the water
在日常的教學(xué)過程中,我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)同學(xué)們在口語考試中之所以覺得無言以對主要有以下幾點原因:1. 考生對該話題缺少熟悉度;2. 考生對該話題的理解容易造成偏差;3. 話題本身相對抽象。而雅思口語考試的地點類考題中可能會涉及到一些考生們沒有去過的地方,或者是去過了但是沒有特別深刻的印象,而這些原因會導(dǎo)致考生們對地點類的某些話題產(chǎn)生害怕的心理,從而在考試過程中無話可說,或者越說越偏,找不到重點,讓考官聽不到所期待的內(nèi)容,于是分?jǐn)?shù)也上不去。下面專家將為考生們支招,和考生們探討一下地點類話題的難點和其應(yīng)對方法。我們對所有的地點類考題進(jìn)行分類,從地點的大小和地點的類別,2012年上半年常考的考題可以分成四類:
I. 相對較大的地點
Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit
Describe a place near the water
Describe a river/lake
在這一類地點題中考到了foreign city/ country, 并且還出現(xiàn)了a place near the water, 所以專家建議各位考生可以準(zhǔn)備一個靠近海的外國城市,這樣就能成功應(yīng)對兩個考察相對較大地點的考題了,像悉尼,墨爾本,洛杉磯,馬爾代夫……都是很好的選擇。該考題的原題如下:
Describe a foreign city/ country you’d like to visit
You should say:
Which city/country it is
How you know this city/country
Who you would like to go with
and explain why you like to travel there
這道題目其實是一道常規(guī)考題,只是對城市的考察加了特定的限定詞,國外的城市,這道題目的難點在于很多考生可能沒有去過,所以心里沒有底,于是在考試中會覺得無話可說,各位考生可以多搜集一些資料,準(zhǔn)備好相關(guān)背景知識,自然能夠輕松應(yīng)對。對城市的描寫可以從地理位置,特點以及你對該城市的感受著手,組織好語言,自然高分不難。并且考生們可以增加對海景的描述,從而當(dāng)考到a place near the water時也可以順利的進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)化。
而river/lake這一題目,各位考生可以選擇有特色的江、河或者是湖泊,比如說西湖,除了可以描述它秀美的風(fēng)光,還可以把白蛇傳的故事插入進(jìn)去,就更加引人入勝。
II. 稍小一點的地點
Describe a park/garden
Describe a special street
在稍小一點的地點中,park/garden是讓廣大考生頭疼的一道考題,原題如下:
Describe a park or a garden
You should say:
What the park is called
Where the park is located
What features the park has
and explain why you love the park or the garden
這道題目的難點在于要描述一個公園,除了簡單帶出公園中的風(fēng)景和娛樂設(shè)施,還要描述公園中的一些特色,建議考生在介紹普通的公園之外,還可以準(zhǔn)備一些主題公園,比如說Disneyland, 首先各位考生可以從地理位置上進(jìn)行簡單的介紹,可以選擇全球任意一處Disneyland進(jìn)行描述,無論是否去過,背景資料的搜集工作一定要做足,比如說它的來歷:
Disney World and Disneyland
Two theme parks built by the Walt Disney Co. (see Disney Co.), a U.S. corporation that became the best-known 20th-century purveyor of entertainment. Disneyland, an interactive, family-oriented fantasy environment that opened in Anaheim, Calif., in 1955, was Walt Disney's response to typical amusement parks, which entertained children but not their parents. The park, which has architecture that is a blend of futurism and nostalgic 19th-century reproductions, has different sections devoted to specific themes. Walt Disney World opened near Orlando, Fla., in 1971. Besides containing Epcot Center (an idealized city), Disney-MGM Studios, and the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom theme parks, Disney World was the first amusement park to incorporate hotels (including two designed by Michael Graves) and sports and other recreational facilities into its master plan.
相關(guān)的資料各位考生可以自己進(jìn)行搜集和整理。而special street這一題目,各位考生可以選擇用一條街來烘托出整個城市的特色,每個城市都有一些有特色的街道,來自各個城市的考生都應(yīng)該有自己獨特的材料來說。
III. 建筑物類
Describe an interesting shop
Describe a workplace
Describe a hotel/restaurant
Describe your ideal house
在建筑物的話題中,考生們往往只能根據(jù)題目作出簡單的回答,之后便無話可說。這一方面是因為許多考生與建筑相關(guān)的知識和詞匯積累非常有限,沒有可以表達(dá)的內(nèi)容;更重要的一方面則是許多學(xué)生受到表達(dá)能力的限制,無法迅速的進(jìn)行paraphrasing, 因此回答起來張口結(jié)舌,極大地影響了個人的考試表現(xiàn)。hotel/restaurant這個經(jīng)典考題從08年至今一直活躍在雅思口語的考場中,原題如下:
Describe a hotel/restaurant
You should say:
Where the hotel/restaurant is
What the hotel/restaurant is famous for
What you can enjoy at the hotel/restaurant
and explain why you often go to this hotel/restaurant
在對此類建筑話題進(jìn)行描述時,往往要求考生描述以下方面:建筑所在地點(where), 參觀此建筑的時間(when)/多久去一次(how long), 參與的人(who), 以及為什么喜歡/不喜歡這個建筑(why)。這種類型的問題對大多數(shù)考生來說都比較簡單,只需把重點放在喜歡或者不喜歡的原因即可,學(xué)生很容易找到相關(guān)思路并且做出清晰流暢的回答。而對于特定的建筑物而言,專家提醒同學(xué)們要注意,需要重點描述的是為什么在這么多的圖書館、餐館、博物館、賓館、建筑物中,你不選擇其他作為描述對象,而偏偏選擇這個,也就是說這個地點或描述對象本身具有較多的特征或特別之處,才值得一提,所以,在選擇對象的時候,要注意一些其自身的特色,以及可以提一下在此建筑物中的經(jīng)歷。
IV. 景點類
Describe a historic site
Describe a nature beauty
在景點類考題中,考生們在備考中要準(zhǔn)備一個人文景觀(historic site)和一個自然景觀(nature beauty),自然景觀可以參照城市類的考題進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)備,而A Historic Site這個考題考生們可能不太熟悉,題目如下:
Describe an interesting historic site
You should say:
where it was
what you saw at this site (or, what it looked like)
what role it played in history
and explain what interested you about that place
這道題的難點在于對于歷史建筑的描述,在強(qiáng)調(diào)它的歷史作用時多少會涉及到歷史知識以及一些專有名詞的表達(dá)。而不管各位考生是選擇中國的還是國外的歷史建筑,鑒于平日里談?wù)摰脴O少,考試前沒有足夠的準(zhǔn)備就很難開口。所以各位考生在考前可以結(jié)合其它描述地點或建筑的話題一起準(zhǔn)備:Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等,例如北京故宮里的建筑,即是古老而傳統(tǒng)的建筑,又是很重要的博物館,也可以是自己最喜歡的建筑。不過故宮和頤和園之類的話題考官已經(jīng)聽過太多了,所以考生們可以參照類似的例文,跟考官描述一個當(dāng)?shù)氐闹麣v史建筑,例如長沙的岳麓書院,杭州的雷鋒塔,南京的明孝陵之類的,提前做好充足的功課,搜集相關(guān)的背景知識,遇到其它問題也都可以迎刃而解。
Sample:
Well, you know, China is a country with a long history, and I have visited some of those historical places. Here I would like to talk about one of them-the “Summer Palace”. To be frank, it is too hard for me to describe this famous historical place in only one or two minutes. I will just give you a brief introduction of Summer Palace.
It was built in 1764, located in west of Beijing, far from the city center. It was known as the biggest Royal Garden. There are a large quantity of trees and flowers. The long corridors, pavilions together with the lake make a marvelous landscape. It has been destroyed for several times. After 1949, our government rebuilt it and protected it well. Now it is a famous historical place in the world heritage list. I think it is worthy to take visit there.
而nature beauty這一考題,各位考生可以和上面提及到的a foreign country/city以及river/lake進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)換,是非常容易答題的。
雅思口語part2話題范文詳解--Describe a historic building
Topic:
Talk about a historical building in your country or city that you know.
You should say:
What and where is it?
When was it built? Why?
What is it known for?
Sample answer:
I’d like to talk about a building near where I grew up as a child.it’s called Assen’s Fortress. It’s about two kilometers away from Assenovgrad where I spent a lot of my childhood.The fortress is located on a very steep ridge which overlooks the Assenitsa River. It was named Assen’s fortress by the local people following the national liberation of 1878. There is one special building within the fortress which is a church,it’s name is Sveta Bogoroditsa Petrichka and it was constructed in the 12th century.
The original fortress on the site was built by the Thracians as a stronghold for protection some time during the 5th - 4th centuries B.C. and it was a very busy and important site during the Roman and Byzantine eras. When they excavated the site they managed to uncover the walls of the fortress, the feudal lord’s castle and also some water reservoirs. The church though was the only building on the site which was really well preserved.
It has two levels, or floors, with a large dome with a cross on top and a wide antechamber… it’s a structure a bit like a porch, as well as a large square belfry located above it.This church is famous in Bulgaria because of its incredible architecture, the decoration of the south facade, which was done using plastic, and also because of the remains of some unique 14th century murals.
I like the building because when I used to visit it I could imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago when people used to live there, and the view is quite impressive also.

話題語料庫:
1.Great wall of China was an ancient gigantic defensive project. It is one of the largest construction projects ever completed. Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It winds its way westward over the vast territory of China from the bank of the Yalu River and ends at the foot of snow-covered Qilianshan and Tianshan mountains. It is seldom that we see such a gigantic project in China or elsewhere in the world. The Chinese call it the Wall of 10,000 li. Its size is better seen on a map or from an aerial photograph. According to astronauts who looked back from the moon, of all projects built by man, the Great Wall of China is the most conspicuous seen in space.

雅思口語part2話題范文詳解--Describe a hotel.
Topic:
Describe a hotel you have stayed in.
You should say:
where the hotel is
why you stayed at that particular hotel
what the view from the hotel is like
and explain what makes the hotel special.
Sample answer:
About 6 months ago I was sent by my company to solve a problem for a client. The client was located in a remote island off the mainland and so I had to drive to the coast and then take a flight to the island. The plan had been to go there early in the morning and then fly back late afternoon because there were only two flights that day. Unfortunately, while I was there the weather turned really bad and a really strong storm moved in from the sea and so it was impossible to fly out in the afternoon.
So someone at the company arranged a local hotel for me to stay at, when hopefully I would be able to fly out again. The hotel was really small and there were only four rooms, but it was so cool. It was like an old farmhouse with a big open fire, and the owner, a middle-aged lady, was really friendly and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.When dinner was served in the evening I met another guest and we had a coffee afterwards and the owner also joined us and told us a little more about life there and her hotel.It was really fascinating that I’d never stayed anywhere so remote before, so it was quite an adventure.
As for the view from the hotel, that night it wasn’t very impressive because all you could see was the rain and some of the lights along the coast but early the next morning when the sun came up it was quite spectacular to see the light bouncing of the ocean and the birds flying around. The storm had passed but the waves were still crashing onto the shore and you could see some of the fishing boats in the harbor as well, so it was really quite picturesque.
Anyway, by about midday the pilot had gotten the all clear to fly again and shortly after that we were off and flying back to the mainland.
I’ve stayed in quite a few hotels over the years, but I’ll never forget that one,it was just so different,more like staying with an old friend in their house because the atmosphere was very homey and not like most commercial hotels.
【注解】
As for 至于 impressive 印象深刻的
spectacular 壯觀的 fascinating 迷人的
bouncing bounce的現(xiàn)在分詞形式,彈跳的意思
crash onto 撞到 harbor 海港
