雅思寫作中的口語經(jīng)—話題準(zhǔn)備

字號(hào):

雅思寫作和口語雖然相比聽力和閱讀似乎更難快速突破,卻擁有著稱得上完備的機(jī)經(jīng)(真題回憶)庫,這是無數(shù)中國(guó)考生人品積攢的結(jié)果,為積極備戰(zhàn)的后來者提供了參考依據(jù),指明了努力方向。有非凡毅力的考生甚至可以針對(duì)題庫中的考題一一準(zhǔn)備,達(dá)到“熟讀唐詩三百首,不會(huì)作詩也會(huì)吟”的境界。當(dāng)然,這只能算是下下策,對(duì)話題進(jìn)行合理歸類,掌握共性特點(diǎn)才是值得推薦的科學(xué)備考方法。
    通過總結(jié)對(duì)比口語和寫作機(jī)經(jīng)庫,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)這兩大科目之間的話題高度相關(guān)性,兩者都無外乎社會(huì)熱點(diǎn)討論,體現(xiàn)了雅思考試人性化特點(diǎn)。下面,以寫作常考分類話題為參照,結(jié)合口語熱點(diǎn)話題作比較,找出共性特征,以供大家備考時(shí)一石二鳥,一舉兩得。
    一、 教育、培訓(xùn)、工作類
    教育話題無疑是雅思寫作的重中之重,有數(shù)據(jù)稱教育話題在平均每個(gè)月都會(huì)考。所涵蓋內(nèi)容包括教育方法和內(nèi)容,兒童、中學(xué)、大學(xué)各階段教育。類似題目在口語中也有體現(xiàn),我們通過兩組例子具體說明。
    GROUP ONE:
    【真題實(shí)例】:
    è 寫作: As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual well-being. What are the factors that contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?
    è 口語: Describe your ideal job
    What the job is
    What the job is about
    Why you chose this job
    How it has benefited or will benefit you.
    【指點(diǎn)迷津】: 該組題目乍一看不是特別一樣,但稍加思考便會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其雷同之處。寫作話題要求說明影響工作滿意度的要素,通過構(gòu)思可以想到的素材有工作環(huán)境,待遇,前途等方面。而口語要求描述理想中的工作,完全可以從以上同樣幾個(gè)方面入手,解釋理想工作之所以理想的種種原因,相似指數(shù) ★★★★。
    GROUP TWO:
    【真題實(shí)例】:
    è 寫作: Some people argue that learning a second language involves learning the culture of the country where this language is spoken (including lifestyles). What is your opinion?
    è 口語: What do you think is the most difficult when learning a second language? (Part 3 question)
    【指點(diǎn)迷津】: 該組題目涉及到語言學(xué)習(xí)的問題,需稍許留意才能發(fā)現(xiàn)二者關(guān)聯(lián),屬于話題部分重合。寫作的話題有這樣的一個(gè)分論點(diǎn):承認(rèn)學(xué)習(xí)文化的弊端,難,增加了學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)。這剛好可以拿來作為口語話題現(xiàn)成的素材,即,文化學(xué)習(xí)是語言學(xué)習(xí)難的部分。相似指數(shù)★★★。
    二、 科技發(fā)展類
    這是除了教育話題以外的另一個(gè)高頻寫作話題,且牽扯內(nèi)容也較為豐富,如:高科技產(chǎn)品, 科學(xué)發(fā)展與傳統(tǒng)文化,科技對(duì)生活的影響等等。依然是通過兩組實(shí)例詳細(xì)說明。
    GROUP ONE:
    【真題實(shí)例】:
    è 寫作: People today can perform the everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to-face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole?
    è 口語: How has technology changed people’s life? (Part 3 question)
    【指點(diǎn)迷津】: 不難看出,寫作與口語題其實(shí)都是要求去說明科技對(duì)個(gè)人/社會(huì)的影響。話題完全一致,相似指數(shù)★★★★。
    GROUP TWO:
    【真題實(shí)例】:
    è 寫作: Many people think that public libraries should only provide
    books and should not waste their money on expensive hi-tech media, such as software, DVDs, or videos. Do you agree or disagree?
    è 口語: Describe a public library
    You should say:
    Where the library is located
    What you use it for
    How often you visit this place
    And explain what special features it has
    【指點(diǎn)迷津】: 寫作題需要探討高科技媒體如software, DVDs, video的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn),這部分內(nèi)容可以用于口語講述圖書館的特別之處。相似指數(shù)★★★。
    三、 環(huán)境、污染類
    環(huán)境問題在09年多次考到,儼然成為新一代熱點(diǎn)話題,下面以一組相似度極高的話題為例。
    【真題實(shí)例】:
    è 寫作:Many people believe that the human society has developed into a throw-away society, which is filled with plastic bags and rubbish. What are the causes and solutions?
    è 口語:Describe an environmental problem in your country.
    You should say:
    what this problem is
    what the causes of the problem are
    how this problem affects people
    and explain how this problem could be solved.
    【指點(diǎn)迷津】: 稍作對(duì)比就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這兩個(gè)話題幾乎是一模一樣的,口語要求講一個(gè)環(huán)境問題就可以選擇垃圾污染問題來講。相似度★★★★★。
