雅思口语素材:穿不寻常衣服的人

Describe a person who wears unusual clothes

You should say:

Who this person is

How you knew this person

What his/her clothes are like

And explain why you think his/her clothes are unusual

这是一道人物类新题，难度中等偏上，但如果大家能够打开思路不局限于身边熟悉的面孔或者日常生活，多往节日打扮或艺人、表演家上靠拢，那么可选性就变得更多了。

题目分解：

先问“Who this person is” 穿不寻常衣服的人是谁？

看到这道题，大家可以首先回想一些生活中朋友、家人的例子，比如元旦晚会或者万圣节的时候别人穿的奇装异服，但如果自己身边没有人会穿一些奇奇怪怪的衣服或没有印象，不用担心，大家可以从电视、网络上寻找例子，比如某位歌手在演唱会上精心打扮挑选由设计师设计的独特的具舞台表演风格的衣服等。

第二问“How you knew this person” 你怎么认识的这个人？

这一小问是人物类的常规问题，如果是认识的人那么直接说明关系即可，如果是通过广告宣传、朋友介绍、偶然碰见等方式则可以进一步展开说明一下。

第三问“What his/her clothes are like”他的穿着是什么样的？

这一小问需要对描述对象穿着进行比较详细的描述，可以从衣服的款式、风格、颜色、形状、大小、厚薄、材料、裁剪等方面展开，这一段的描述是展现考生词汇量基础的好机会。

第四问“And explain why you think his/her clothes are unusual” 为什么你觉得他的穿着是不寻常的？

这一小问的回答可以在第三小问的基础上进行感受的解释，比如款式新颖大胆、颜色鲜艳明亮、形状奇特吸人眼球、材料独特罕见、时尚过头并不寻常、或者着装打扮与个人属性不相符合，比如高龄老人穿时尚破洞裤、男性穿裙子 等等。 总之对unusual的理解可以从正反两面进行回答，例如可以是时尚的前卫的新潮的，也可以是不合适的、不日常的。

下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图

I know someone who wears unusual clothes a lot. I knew him through a TV show that people are debating in a strange way like they're not doing the classical debating they are in a new style debate competition.

The person who wears unusual clothes is called Eden, who is a clothes designer. He always wears the clothes he designed for himself to the TV show, and most of them are colourful dresses, and he likes to use muslin on the outer side of the clothes, which always make him look fluffy. His clothes are full of his individual style, and the reason I think his clothes are unusual because it is way too colourful for most people who are wearing nowadays. I'm not saying the clothes are not good-looking or anything. I give Eden full respect since he shows the real himself to anyone else, ignoring any negative comments. The other thing that I think his clothes are different from others is that most people have willing to show their strength when choosing clothes. While he prefers to dress up as what he wants, he considered the cloth's appearance more than what he will be looking like after dressing up.

I really respect him since he is doing what he wants to do, instead of being in the trend like anyone else in this society. I hope more and more people can dress differently in the community, making the world more diverse, which in this case, decreases discrimination as well.
