雅思口语话题之“上课的地点”

怎么样去描述一个地点？ 或许在很多的学生看来，这种话题难以着手。其实加以适当引导，这种话题很容易拿到。很多学生开不了口，并不是因为词汇的局限，而更多的是对于这类话题中所涉及的地点的不熟悉，甚至完全没有概念。借这个话题来演示一下我上课的思路。

Describe a place you go to listen to music / describe a concert hall /describe a theatre
选择Shanghai grand theatre

Background reading :

1 ．一个地点的背景是很重要的，必须先给到学生相应的信息。

Located in the people’s square, the prestigious shanghai grand theatre can easily catch your eyeballs. Its distinctive architectural style, at night, accompanied by the warm light, resembles a magnificent crystal palace. It’s the ultimate place for the concert and drama goers, at the gate, people waiting in queue, eager to enjoy the finest art.

 Inside the building, three theaters, which are all equipped with the most advanced lighting and stereo facilities, have been the ideal stage for the world class art activities. It could be one of the busiest theaters in the world, almost every week the audience pack into the theater to enjoy the well-performed European operas, classical music dramas and musical concerts by the top symphony orchestras, even the world famous opera cat and the celebrated Three Tenors all once be seen on the stage. Sitting in the theater, the whole noise seems to be isolated, you just get away from the stressful errands .couple hours later, when you leave the building, everything appears just like a fabulous dream.

 Among concrete and steels, the grand theater stands as an artistic utopia, baptizing the exhausting people, bringing the happiness and the enjoyment to the public.
