　　人物類的話題本來就是雅思口語第二部分中出現(xiàn)頻率較高的類別，而人物類中有關于家人的話題也會變換不同的家庭成員進行考察，包括家庭中的小孩兒，家庭中有趣的成員以及本題中涉及的你知道的一個好家長等等。關于我知道的一個好家長，就會想到我一個朋友的媽媽，由于她特別寬容，也教育她的孩子寬容待人，尊重他人，在我眼里她是我知道的一個好家長。

　　話題解析：

　　1. 對于第二部分需要強調的是充分的準備，無論是在論點方面，還是在詞匯方面，以便充分論述話題。在這道題中考生對人物相貌的描述可以參考使用oval faces 橢圓的臉型, fair skin 皮膚白皙以及 big charming eyes。另外，還有對于發(fā)型的描述 with long curly hair 長長的卷發(fā)或 straight hair直發(fā)等。考生還需要在描述人物的體型時避免使用fat一詞， 因為畢竟直接這樣形容一個人不太禮貌，如果要表達胖可以用 overweight。

　　2. 考生在審題的時候一定要仔細注意題目要求，論述的是一位好家長，而不是一對好父母。單復數(shù)的限定必須要注意到，在整個話題的論述中講一位家長就好，可以是某人的爸爸、媽媽、爺爺或奶奶。在論述中還一定要注意在講parent時不要加s,否則對于單復數(shù)的限定就沒有把握好。

　　3. 在整個話題的論述當中，最好舉例說明自己知道的這位好家長到底如何好?？忌鷤兛梢灾v述整個事件，也可以把講故事或者發(fā)生的一件事作為舉例的一種形式。但是需要注意在講述事件的時候不要太糾結過于細致的細節(jié)描述。

　　4. 第二部分話題的論述中一定要注意時態(tài)。尤其在這個話題的論述中很明顯事件是已經發(fā)生過的，所以對于事件描述要注意過去時的使用。

　　口語范例：

　　Well, speaking of a good parent I know, I’d like to talk about the mother of one friend of mine, Mrs Wong, who’s an excellent photographer. Regarding how I knew this person, well, I first met her many years ago, like a decade ago or something, you know, I went to the same primary school with her daughter, Lily. Because Lily and I had a lot of things in common, we hit it off and ended up seeing quite a lot of each other’s parents. As for what she looks like, well, interesting enough, she actually looks pretty similar to Lily. I mean, they both have oval faces, fair skin and big charming eyes. Of course, there’s something different. Mrs Wong is in her 40s, of medium height, but a little bit overweight, with long curly hair, whereas as a teenager, Lily is pretty short and slim with short straight hair. Ultimately, moving on to why I think she’s a good parent, what I’d like to say here is that there are quite a few reasons. And the main reason is that she sets a very good example for her daughter. Just to give you an example, she always teaches Lily to be a tolerant person and she is such a tolerant person herself. As far as I know, she has never been rude to anyone, even if she’s very angry. I still remember once Lily was hit by a stone thrown away by a boy by accident and her head was bleeding. When Mrs Wong arrived here, she didn’t get mad or blame that guilty boy. Instead, she comforted him and then took Lily to the hospital. Also, she told Lily to forgive that boy, because he didn’t really mean it. It’s fair to say almost every person speak highly of Mrs Wong. So, I guess Mrs Wong is not only a good parent for Lily, but a role model for me as well.
