雅思口語備考指導(dǎo):傳統(tǒng)話題
為了方便廣大考生更好的復(fù)習(xí),綜合整理了雅思口語備考指導(dǎo):傳統(tǒng)話題,以供各位考生考試復(fù)習(xí)參考,希望對考生復(fù)習(xí)有所幫助。
經(jīng)常聽到考生們抱怨:雅思口語考題變化莫測,無從下手。但以筆者在雅思培訓(xùn)界從業(yè)多年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看,目前雅思口語考試題庫的題目已經(jīng)達(dá)到了飽和狀態(tài);換言之,題目從形式上可能會(huì)繼續(xù)推陳出新,但其核心內(nèi)容依舊是換湯不換藥。那么,如何應(yīng)對口語話題的變化呢?分析認(rèn)為答案很簡單,充分利用多米諾骨牌口語學(xué)習(xí)法。
在茫茫題海中,對每個(gè)話題一一準(zhǔn)備是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。即使可以,也會(huì)浪費(fèi)考生大量的時(shí)間和精力,最后沒有一個(gè)話題是自己準(zhǔn)備完整的。最關(guān)鍵的是,考試的時(shí)候,在緊張的狀況下,面對金發(fā)碧眼的考官,常會(huì)出現(xiàn)大腦空白,把以前準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容全部忘光的情況。那么,怎樣才能避免這種悲劇上演呢?只有把相關(guān)題目的思路融會(huì)貫通,也就是一個(gè)思路可供不同題目使用。就像我們小時(shí)候玩的多米諾骨牌一樣,不同的話題即不同的骨牌,有機(jī)地把它們放到一起,排好,一旦我們有一個(gè)好的思路,攻克其中的一個(gè)話題,如同把一個(gè)骨牌推倒,隨之系列話題,都會(huì)隨即倒下。例如:A festival = A happy family event= An unforgettable event= A traditional event you attended= One favorite meal= A happy experience。
雅思口語考試中很少直接問到關(guān)于傳統(tǒng)的考題,但傳統(tǒng)之所以作為考生公認(rèn)的魔鬼話題,其原因就在于該話題具備了兩大特性:隱蔽和深度。
首先,隱蔽是指涉及傳統(tǒng)的考題往往用其它話題來隱藏自己,或者換句話說,很多其它話題中會(huì)隱含有傳統(tǒng)的意味。舉例來說,關(guān)于history、culture、arts,甚至關(guān)于wedding、handicraft、food的話題中,都有可能藏有modern vs. traditional的對立。隨著全球化浪潮的風(fēng)起云涌,許多傳統(tǒng)文化、傳統(tǒng)思想以及傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗都被拋諸腦后甚至煙消云散。現(xiàn)代的觀念、價(jià)值以及倫理規(guī)范取而代之,形成了一次又一次的碰撞和對抗,孰是孰非,就要看你如何在傳統(tǒng)話題上的把握了。
至于傳統(tǒng)類話題的深度,可以說是不言而喻的沒有一定的詞匯根底、沒有駕馭復(fù)雜句型的能力、缺乏對社會(huì)現(xiàn)狀的思考,這樣的考生是很難把該話題說好的,不少人甚至都沒有想到傳統(tǒng)竟然可以作為一種有效的答題思路。
下面專家將針對考生備考需要,提供口試第一階段的口語素材、真題實(shí)例及參考答案。
