首先,來看看姓名類話題一般都涉及哪些問題?
Names
> Do you like your name?
> Who give you your name?
> What names are most common in your hometown?
> Do you have any special traditions about naming children?
……
對(duì)于這類問題看起來其實(shí)都是比較簡(jiǎn)單的,最重要的是思路如何展開:
首先,當(dāng)問到你的名字或誰為你取得名字時(shí),可以先介紹自己的名字;然后介紹你名字的特點(diǎn)以及所賦予的意義(起名字的人對(duì)你的期望和美好的憧憬);第三步可以介紹名字對(duì)你個(gè)人的特別意義和重要性(因?yàn)橐话銜?huì)問到是否會(huì)改名字或者是否想過改名字等問題),但是一定要贅述啰嗦盡量直奔主題,可以說說你為什么喜歡你的名字,有什么特別的價(jià)值和情感色彩,以及對(duì)你的影響等等,理由可以很具體。如果還有時(shí)間,最后可以介紹一下在你的家鄉(xiāng)起名字的風(fēng)俗和傳統(tǒng)特點(diǎn),有時(shí)候考官也會(huì)問到。
而在此類話題中大家要明白一些常用的問題表達(dá),看起來是不同的問題其實(shí)目的都是相同的,自然考官想要的答案也是一樣的:
1. What is your full name?
What’s your name?
How should I address you?
How should I call you?
2. Who gave you your name?
Who gave this name to you ?
Does your name have any particular meaning?
3. Do you like your name?
Would you like to change your name?
Have you ever changed any name before?
Do you want to change your name before?
4. In your country, do people feel that their name is very important?
Who usually names babies in your country?
Do you have any special traditions about naming children in your hometown?
下面根據(jù)具體的問題及答案來系統(tǒng)的看一下整個(gè)話題:
1. What is your full name? How should I address you?
My full name is XXX. And my English name is Jennie. You can call me Jennie.
提示:回答姓名雖然是很簡(jiǎn)單的問題,但是考生要通過簡(jiǎn)單的擴(kuò)展展現(xiàn)出自己與小學(xué)生英文水平的不同。很多人把全名full(短音)name念成傻瓜名字fool(長音)name而貽笑大方。在這里考生沒有必要大做文章,只要講清楚姓名就可以。同時(shí)因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)考官不太會(huì)念中文名字,所以給出英文名字。
2. Does your name have any special meaning or significance?
Yes, it does have a special meaning. Literally it means to travel as far as beyond the stars.
Strategy:在這里可以運(yùn)用一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)小的技巧。為了從眾多考生中脫穎而出,我們可以在準(zhǔn)備充分的基礎(chǔ)上加上一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)新意。充分發(fā)揮想象力,比如說:我們就可以講這個(gè)姓名是算命先生給的,并且有了這個(gè)名字就可以嫁個(gè)老公:What's more, this name was given by a fortune-teller and he said with this name I would marry a great guy.
提示:其實(shí)不知道自己姓名的意思也沒關(guān)系。只要坦誠的告訴考官就可以。但是不可以簡(jiǎn)單的說“I don't know”,而應(yīng)該做合理的猜測(cè)以展現(xiàn)自己出自己流利的英文表達(dá)。但是在猜測(cè)的時(shí)候,考生可以充分的發(fā)揮想象力,沒有必要長篇大論。如:I don't really know. It is given by my grandfather. I guess it means to travel as far as beyond the starts, because he also wanted me to become a great and successful person.
3. Have you ever changed your name? Why or why not?
No, I haven't. I'm very happy about my Chinese name. And I guess I am never going to change it.
Well, yes. The previous name I had just sounds so silly. It is even close to the Chinese word for “baboon”. So in order to avoid continuing embarrassing myself, I changed it. And now I'm happy about my current name.
Notes:這道題通常是為下面的題目作鋪墊。有兩種答題的方向,考生可以自己做出選擇。
Do Chinese people like changing their names? Why or why not?
In my personal opinion, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names, because to most people names are just symbols, though some people do believe names can affect the course of their life. In that case, if they are not content with who they are or what they have, they may change their names.
What kind of people like changing their names?
Well, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names. But if they do, they must believe names are important to them, more than just symbols, or somehow carries a significant meaning to them. Among them, of course, some people are just superstitious.
名字對(duì)大多數(shù)中國人來說確實(shí)只是一個(gè)符號(hào)。但是如果名字對(duì)一個(gè)人有特別的含義則有可能促使人改名字。
4. What's their purpose in changing their names?
It is hard to say. But as far as I know there are two major purposes. Number one, people change their names to make their names sound better. Number two, they change their names in order to change their destiny, because they believe names can affect the course of their life, no matter it is superstitious belief or just a willful thought.
Well, this is a big question. As far as I know, I don't think Chinese people like to change their names often. Because most people believe names are just symbols. They don't change anything. And destiny is in their own hands to make.
Notes:該題目與前一道題目形成對(duì)比,前一道題目是個(gè)人的行為,本題目涉及的是群體的行為。姓名的改變通常由于以下一些原因:1、聲音不好聽或拗口2、與其他詞(通常不是好詞)諧音3、迷信,認(rèn)為改變姓名可以改變運(yùn)道等。
5. In your culture, do women change their names when they get married?
I know it is quite common for women to take on their spouse's family name in other cultures. But in my culture, that is not the case—women often keep their maiden name even after getting married. But the children will follow the father's surname.
Notes:女子出嫁后而不隨夫姓,這是中國很普遍的現(xiàn)象。而國外卻大多與此相反??忌梢圆扇≈型鈱?duì)比的方式回答問題。
從這些問題我們可以總結(jié)如下:在回答第一部分的問題時(shí),考生不要只給考官一個(gè)“YES”或“NO”的答案,或是采用“點(diǎn)頭搖頭術(shù)”的交流方式??忌挥性谶B續(xù)用英語回答的前提下才能使雅思考官對(duì)其英語的駕馭能力進(jìn)行評(píng)估、打分。所以在雅思口語考試的環(huán)節(jié)中,“Somethingis better than nothing!”是永恒的王道。
以上就是雅思口語part1姓名類話題的全部?jī)?nèi)容。相信對(duì)大家的雅思口語備考能夠有很好的指導(dǎo)作用。希望考生在考場(chǎng)上盡量自然發(fā)揮而不是死記硬背答案,這樣才能夠取得高分,要知道雅思口語考官閱人無數(shù),任何背誦的痕跡都逃不過他們的法眼,所以大家一定不能掉以輕心。
