雅思口語第二部分中，關(guān)于Place的話題始終經(jīng)久不衰;近幾年下來，有老的話題，也有新增的題目。專家對(duì)這個(gè)版塊的題目進(jìn)行了匯總，將其分為兩大類：大地方和小地方。大地方的題目如：Describe a place you want to visit/ visited, Describe a place near water you want to visit, Describe a place you want to attend university, Describe a place with a lot of noise. 小地方的題目如：Describe a room you liked when you were a child, Describe a small but successful company, Describe an interesting modern building, Describe a hotel, Describe your favorite café or restaurant, Describe a public library, Describe a museum.
首先，我們先來看關(guān)于“大地方”的描述。因?yàn)檫@類話題都屬于只描述一個(gè)place，通常的問題是：在這個(gè)地方你可以做什么，想做什么，為什么要去，有哪些地方吸引你;除了描述有噪音的地方外，其他的話題都可以理解為這個(gè)地方有哪些優(yōu)勢(shì)或好的方面，所以描述的內(nèi)容可以進(jìn)行充分的擴(kuò)展。這個(gè)地方的交通、飲食、風(fēng)景、民俗文化、建筑、生活成本、公共設(shè)施、氣候、生活方式等都可以作為回答的切入點(diǎn)。
如“Describe a place near water you want to visit”這個(gè)題目。
The place I’m all dreaming about is the place in Mediterranean area. It can be any country, region, or any city located there, such as Greece and Morocco. The deep blue sea and unique style of housing decoration are pictures that always come into my mind. Besides that, the mouthwatering foods there are another part which makes me crazy about. 這段內(nèi)容是整個(gè)回答的一個(gè)介紹，為后面的擴(kuò)展作一個(gè)引子。
The Mediterranean has always been listed as one of the Top 10 World’s tourist attractions, especially for those newly-wed couples flying all the way from other countries and starting the hot honeymoon vacation. In China, you know, it’s not that easy to find a sea like that, and it’s boring to see modern buildings with similar shape all the time. But the Mediterranean style houses—blue and white appearance is pretty much like refreshment to the pale world, or like adding spice to meals. I guess the feeling will be fantastic! 這個(gè)部分的內(nèi)容是繼開頭部分中提到的“deep blue sea and unique style of housing decoration”進(jìn)行擴(kuò)展描述，具體解釋。
The live seafood has been another reason that pushes me coming to visit. A large range of seafood can be found in local market and seaside restaurant, such as oysters, salmon, lobsters, sea cucumbers, and so forth. Another thing, which is particularly popular on Mediterranean table, is the high quality olive oil, liquid gold as the nickname. I’m so curious about how the locals drink olive oil simply because they enjoy it too much! People there seem to lead a very peaceful life, by that I mean, they don’t worry about the pollution, for no one have the heart to destroy such art-like environment. 對(duì)開頭部分提到的“mouth-watering seafood”進(jìn)行擴(kuò)展描述，通過羅列的方式舉出哪些seafood。
There are so many attractions for me to go and see it someday in person; otherwise it’s still a dream. And of course, I’ll bring my father a bottle of fine wine, since it’s also the place where the best white wine comes from. 最后通過另外一個(gè)小點(diǎn)“white wine”進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單結(jié)尾。
正如這個(gè)題目，在描述“大地方”的時(shí)候，可以將題目簡(jiǎn)單考慮為在這個(gè)地方，我可以看什么、聽什么、吃什么、做什么等。
