雅思口語考試的part2部分經(jīng)常讓考生感到頭疼,在這個環(huán)節(jié)中,考生通常要對一件事物或者一個生活場景進(jìn)行兩分鐘的闡述,這些話題可能包括動植物、風(fēng)景名勝、興趣愛好、體育運動等等。這類題目的共同特點是:它們都涉及日常生活場景,而這正是讓很多人感到困難的原因。我們從小到大接觸到的英語學(xué)習(xí)材料(比如教材、外刊和原版書)大多與科技、教育、政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)和環(huán)境這類“嚴(yán)肅話題”相關(guān),但這些話題與日常生活場景存在脫節(jié)。舉個例子,你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)談?wù)摎夂蜃兣徒逃皆掝}會比介紹一種植物或者描述一種室內(nèi)游戲要容易,這是因為對于后者所屬的生活英語,我們平時接觸到的機(jī)會并不多。怎樣解決這個問題呢?一個可行的方法是:多接觸與這些日常生活場景相關(guān)的英語材料,通過學(xué)習(xí)這些材料積累相應(yīng)的表達(dá)。這里推薦一個網(wǎng)站:www.wikihow.comwikihow可能是世界上最大的how-to指南網(wǎng)站。你可以在網(wǎng)站上看到大量教你“怎么做某事”的文章,比如 how to wash a motorcycle, how to become a dentist, how to play basketball, how to fish 等等。目前網(wǎng)站上有超過5萬6千篇文章,幾乎涵蓋了所有你能想到的主題。而且更重要的一點是,這些文章絕大多數(shù)都是用英文寫的,用詞和句式都非常簡單自然,是非常理想的學(xué)習(xí)日常生活表達(dá)的材料。我們可以用wikihow來準(zhǔn)備口語話題。舉個例子,假如你現(xiàn)在拿到了一道口語題目:Describe an indoor game that you enjoyed as a child.你想介紹一種室內(nèi)游戲:國際象棋(chess),但你對于國際象棋的規(guī)則和各個棋子的英文表達(dá)不熟悉。這個時候就可以用上wikihow了。在網(wǎng)站上搜索How to play chess在返回的結(jié)果中選擇閱讀量最高的文章:How to Play Chess for Beginners: Rules and Strategies在這篇國際象棋入門教程里面,我們可以找到很多有用的信息,比如對象棋的總體介紹:Chess is a very popular game and is widely accepted as one of the oldest games still played. Although it has a set of easily comprehended rules, it requires a lot of practice to win against skilled opponents. To win, a player must use his pieces to create a situation where the opponent's King is unable to avoid capture (a condition known as checkmate).以及對棋盤和棋子的介紹:The board is an 8x8 grid and each space is uniquely identified by a letter followed by a number using a notation called the rank and file system. Each piece has a specific name, an abbreviation (in chess notation), and specific move capabilities.從上面這些介紹中我們可以知道,國際象棋的規(guī)則是:To win, a player must use his pieces to create a situation where the opponent's King is unable to avoid capture (a condition known as checkmate)棋盤的英文介紹是:The board is an 8x8 grid and each space is uniquely identified by a letter followed by a number using a notation called the rank and file system.棋子的英文說法是piece,在教程里面我們還可以找到各種棋子的數(shù)量以及稱呼:one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns.綜合以上這些信息,我們可以給出這樣的回答:I enjoyed playing chess when I was a child. Chess is a two-player strategy game, and it is played on a chess board, which is an 8x8 grid. The rules of the game go like this: in order to win, a player must use his pieces to create a situation where the opponent's King is unable to avoid capture, a condition known as checkmate. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns, and each of the six piece types has specific move capabilities…后面再談?wù)勛约合孪笃宓慕?jīng)歷以及喜歡下國際象棋的原因,就可以順利完成這道口語題目。除了下象棋之外,很多口語話題都可以在網(wǎng)站上找到素材,比如對于話題:Describe a leisure activity near the sea.你可以說在海邊燒烤(barbecue),怎么描述燒烤的過程呢?在wikihow上搜索how to barbecue,你會看到非常完整的教程。同理,對于其他各種各樣的活動你都可以在wikihow上找到指南,這些指南用到的英文可能簡單到可怕,但它們都有力地傳達(dá)出了豐富的信息,這也是我們需要學(xué)習(xí)的地方。除了參考wikihow之外,要學(xué)習(xí)日常生活詞匯,還可以借助一些專門的書籍,比如下面這本《朗文日常情景單詞書》這是朗文推出的一本圖解詞典,全書一共收錄了4000多個常見的生活單詞,并有配圖說明:書中列出的場景詞匯非常豐富,從衣食住行到世界宇宙,幾乎無所不包,這些詞匯無論是對于考試還是日常生活都很實用,推薦感興趣的同學(xué)閱讀學(xué)習(xí)。本文系授權(quán)發(fā)布,By 魏劍峰,F(xiàn)rom 英文悅讀,微信號:read_the_economist,歡迎分享到朋友圈,未經(jīng)許可不得轉(zhuǎn)載,INSIGHT視界 誠意推薦
