雅思口語(yǔ)話題需擴(kuò)展細(xì)節(jié)

對(duì)于雅思考試口語(yǔ)部分的 描述題，不少考生表示自己可說(shuō)的內(nèi)容很少，所以2分鐘的表達(dá)就顯得非?？菰?，根本沒(méi)有什么實(shí)質(zhì)性的東西。其實(shí)不然，考生在描述題的考試中，如果考生注意拓展細(xì)節(jié)，把語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)方式變化多樣，那么在描述題的考試中將能夠令人眼前一亮。我們以"描述你在特殊場(chǎng)合穿著的衣服"這個(gè)話題為例。如果僅僅描述一件衣服，那么可說(shuō)的內(nèi)容很少。但是如果我們更加專(zhuān)注于如何描述這件衣服的背景故事和增添一些比較地道的描述，那么實(shí)際的效果是大不相同的。僅以下文為例，供廣大考生參考。

Describe a piece of clothing you wear on a special occasion

Key points: Graduation, school, pink dress, accessory,

Actually, in my high school, students are required to wear the school uniforms each day at school. Everyone looks the same to a great extent.【程度的描述】 No one's special. So after a while, we all have the similar physical features. Baggy pants, oversized jackets, and big glasses on our faces, 【生動(dòng)的描述】of course【自然的語(yǔ)序】. Lucky enough【選取比較自然的連接詞】, we had a graduation ceremony, and the high school allowed us to wear something casual 【轉(zhuǎn)換詞性】on that very day.

For this special day, I picked up a really nice dress. My mum and I found it at an elegant shopping mall, which was stunning in the store window.【還是細(xì)節(jié)描寫(xiě)，而且增添了背景故事】 I had my eyes on that dress immediately. It was a pink dress with a black leather belt, which was neither too fancy nor too formal.【加入形容的部分】 It boasts an graceful cutting style with a U-neck shape. Somehow, it reminded me of a typical Chanel dress.【加入了西方文化背景知識(shí)】 My mum said it might be too mature for my age, but I believe it was OK.【自然地加入自己的態(tài)度和看法】 Now think about it, I guess I was eager to be an adult at the time, so wearing a dress that pretty could significantly improve my confidence as a 18-yr-old young lady. Besides, the color was perfect for my skin tone.

Actually, a look is never finished without the right accessories.【除了衣服以外增加一些小細(xì)節(jié)，有助于豐富所描述的整體內(nèi)容】 I chose to wear the pearl necklace and a really nice pair of beige 【稍微"高級(jí)"一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的詞匯就可以】leather shoes. Not surprisingly, I got more than my fair share of compliments 【地道的描述方式】at the graduation ceremony on that day.

在雅思考試口語(yǔ)描述題中，非常不建議學(xué)生背誦范文。學(xué)生可以平時(shí)多多積累好的表達(dá)方式和各種地道的詞匯及用法，然后盡可能在口語(yǔ)練習(xí)中進(jìn)行不斷地練習(xí)和提高。

附雅思口語(yǔ)話題素材：父親節(jié)

雅思口語(yǔ)話題中常有關(guān)于節(jié)日的考題出現(xiàn)，幾乎每年的考試都有出題，中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日和西方的節(jié)日都有出現(xiàn)過(guò)，出題的比例相當(dāng)。今天為大家送上父親節(jié)的話題素材，僅僅供考生參考。但請(qǐng)記住考試時(shí)一定要用自己的語(yǔ)言組織表達(dá)，千萬(wàn)不要生搬硬套。

Father's Day

Third Sunday in June

6月的第三個(gè)星期天

父親節(jié)在美國(guó)

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official

day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special。

父親節(jié)的來(lái)源

The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington。

父親節(jié)的推廣

The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated

the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!

Regardless

of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother。

父親節(jié)的選定

In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached

her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart。

父親節(jié)的制定

States and organizations began lobbying(游說(shuō))Congress to declare

an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June。

父親節(jié)的慶祝

When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical(奇形怪狀的，異想天開(kāi)的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad。

考生可以平時(shí)多注意積累一些節(jié)日的相關(guān)表達(dá)和詞匯，特別是中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，有些詞匯非常少見(jiàn)，考生需要擴(kuò)展詞匯，以應(yīng)付雅思口語(yǔ)考試。
