     【考官范例】
     [題型透析]
     本題屬于景點(diǎn)類考題中,考生們?cè)趥淇贾幸獪?zhǔn)備一個(gè)人文景觀(historic site)和一個(gè)自然景觀(nature beauty),自然景觀可以參照城市類的考題進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)備。
     [考點(diǎn)精析]
     這道題的難點(diǎn)在于對(duì)于歷史建筑的描述,在強(qiáng)調(diào)它的歷史作用時(shí)多少會(huì)涉及到歷史知識(shí)以及一些專有名詞的表達(dá)。而不管各位考生是選擇中國(guó)的還是國(guó)外的歷史建筑,鑒于平日里談?wù)摰脴O少,考試前沒有夠的準(zhǔn)備就很難開口。所以各位考生在考前可以結(jié)合其它描述地點(diǎn)或建筑的話題一起準(zhǔn)備:Describe a museum/an old building/your favorite building/an important traditional building等。
     [回答技巧]
     對(duì)此類建筑話題進(jìn)行描述時(shí),往往要求考生描述以下方面:建筑所在地點(diǎn)(where), 參觀此建筑的時(shí)間(when)/多久去一次(how long), 參與的人(who), 以及為什么喜歡/不喜歡這個(gè)建筑(why)。這種類型的問題對(duì)大多數(shù)考生來說都比較簡(jiǎn)單,只需把重點(diǎn)放在喜歡或者不喜歡的原因即可,學(xué)生很容易找到相關(guān)思路并且做出清晰流暢的回答。
     如第一個(gè)問題描述location可以用以下結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行擴(kuò)展___________is located in ___________ and it’s (not) far from_________. It takes me_______from_______to go there.如 The Forbidden City is located in Tian Anmen and it’s not far from my home and it takes me only 10 minutes walk from my place to go there.第二個(gè)問題描述什么時(shí)間去的,可以通過what who when where why來擴(kuò)展,如: When I was a high school student, I went there with my parents to enjoy our vacation 。
     回答第三,四個(gè)問題時(shí),對(duì)于特定的歷史建筑物而言,需要重點(diǎn)描述這個(gè)地點(diǎn)或描述對(duì)象本身具有較多的特征或特別之處、所以,在選擇對(duì)象的時(shí)候,要注意一些其自身的特色,以及可以提一下在此建筑物中的經(jīng)歷,如描述西湖West Lake就可以描述它的美景wonderful lake view, 美食different kinds of lake food,在那邊做的活動(dòng)outdoor activities such as boating and taking a walk.I would like to describe the Xi'an City Wall. Xi’an is an ancient city in central-northwest China. There are many historical sites there, including the famous Terracotta Army. However, I’d like to describe the Xi'an City Wall. Although it’s less known than the Terracotta Army, it’s an amazing site that impressed me very much.I went there during my school trip when I was at high school. I remember it was May, so the weather was warm and sunny.Well, our group went around the site with a tour guide. The site is huge, so the tour took about two hours. We climbed the Wall from one of the gates. We saw the gate towers, the moat around the Wall, and the suspension bridge. We also walked in the park around the Wall that has many beautiful trees and flowers.I really enjoyed visiting the Xi'an City Wall. First, it’s the oldest city wall in China that is so well preserved. So when you walk around it, you feel like a part of history. Another reason is that I’m interested in engineering and it’s going to be my major at university. So it was very interesting for me to see all the different structures at the site. I tried to imagine how people built those structures without the modern equipment that we have today. All in all, visiting the Xi'an City Wall allowed me to learn more about Chinese history and architecture. It was a great discovery!
