首先，依然來看話題卡內(nèi)容：Describe an occasion you got up extremely early.描述一個你早起的場合。很顯然從話題本身來看是事件類話題，也是考生們比較喜歡的一類話題，那么下面來看看具體的答題思路，其實(shí)也就是話題卡內(nèi)容：
You should say:
When this happened是什么時候發(fā)生的;
What you needed to do that day那天你需要做什么;
Who you were with你和誰;
And explain how you felt about getting up so early on that day.關(guān)于那天早起你的感受如何。
從上述話題卡可以看到事件類話題無非就是講述事件發(fā)生的時間、地點(diǎn)、人物以及具體的事件內(nèi)容等幾大要素。所以大家在回答的時候即可直接按照上述內(nèi)容作答，而且必須包括上述幾點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。所以此部分考生備考的關(guān)鍵就是運(yùn)用素材填充上述回答要點(diǎn)——什么事，什么時候發(fā)生的，和誰一起，最后結(jié)果如何感受怎樣。這幾點(diǎn)解釋清楚即是一篇完整的口語答案。如下答案參考：
Ok then, well the time that I’m gonna talk to you about was when I had to get up super early to catch a flight to South Korea, because my flight was like, um … I can’t remember the exact time, but it was something like 6 or 7 in the morning, and I live about an hour away from the airport. And also bearing in mind that we had to check in at least an hour before take-off, I was up at about 4am, sometime around then. So for me, that’s, like, ridiculously early. I mean, most days, I’m normally up at around 7 o’clock-ish, so getting up at 4 was a pretty big change to the routine, as you can imagine! And I think I actually set two alarms just to make sure that I wouldn’t oversleep and miss the flight! (對這兩個問題的作答，為了趕上去South Korea 的航班，航班大概在6、7點(diǎn)鐘：When this happened是什么時候發(fā)生的;What you needed to do that day那天你需要做什么;)
But strangely enough, it wasn’t as bad as I’d expected. You know, I think it’s probably because I was feeling so excited about travelling to South Korea. So um, I thought I would I feel mega tired, but I actually woke up before my alarms went off. It’s kind of funny how that often happens, you know, it’s as if your body knows what time you’ve got to get up, and so you end up waking up by yourself, completely naturally, just before your alarm’s about to go off!
And um, if I remember correctly, I actually woke up several times in the night thinking it was time to get up. I was that excited! So when I did get up, I wasn’t really feeling that tired at all, cos I was so looking forward to the trip. And it was also quite a nice feeling getting up before dawn because it was really quiet and peaceful, and the roads were virtually empty, which made a nice change! So we got to the airport with quite a lot of time to spare, and even had time for a bit of breakfast before we boarded the plane. (這兩段都是對起床的過程和感受做的詳細(xì)的描述，對于起床掙扎的過程描述的非常貼切，相信大家會有所啟發(fā)的——And explain how you felt about getting up so early on that day.關(guān)于那天早起你的感受如何。)
So yeah, that’s about it then. Thanks for listening.簡單總結(jié)，結(jié)束語。
上述范文可以發(fā)發(fā)現(xiàn)對于話題的描述其實(shí)是非常簡單的，尤其是事件類話題的描述，只要把整件事情介紹清楚即可，然后把話題卡要求的點(diǎn)回答完整，基本上就沒有什么問題了。但是最關(guān)鍵的是詞匯和句式的靈活運(yùn)用，不能總是簡單句、單一句式。所以考生需要注重平時的積累。下面為大家收集整理了一些可用詞匯短語：
bearing in mind – considering (考慮到)
ridiculously -可笑地，荒謬地
7 o’clock-ish – 7點(diǎn)左右;(用于表示時間、日期、年齡的詞之后)表示“…前后的”，“…左右的” -ish is added to words referring to times, dates, or ages to form words which indicate that the time or age mentioned is approximate.
set two alarms – 定鬧鐘
strangely enough - 說來也怪, 說來也怪
mega tired – really tired (置于形容詞和副詞前，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)) Young people sometimes use mega in front of adjectives or adverbs in order to emphasize them.
alarms went off – 鬧鐘響了
with time to spare - 時間充裕，時間有富余
we made the flight - 我們趕上了飛機(jī)
