以听补说练雅思口语（下）

以下是口语话题，描述博物馆：

Describe a museum

You should say

Where it is

What you can see in it

What type of museum it is

And explain why you like it

对于这个话题，很多考生觉得无话可说。很多考生从没去过博物馆，即使去过，让他介绍具体的展品，又会对众多专有名词感到一筹莫展。通过对听力原文的精读和学习，考生更容易掌握介绍博物馆的思路。通过改写，我们甚至能很巧妙的运用听力中现成的句型，短语来组织 part 2 卡片。

The museum I’m going to describe is calledMaritimeMuseumwhich is located inAustralia. It’s a very modem building built in the post modern style and it’s been designed with a nautical flavor .But the museum isn’t only housed in this building; there are a number of historic ships docked outside in the harbor, which form part of the museum.

The museum consists of several parts: an education center, a nice little library, a theater, a leisure gallery, a member’s lounge and a souvenir store.

This theater is used to screen videos of special interest and lectures. There’s a continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook.

The Leisure Gallery is well worth a good look. The permanent exhibitions can give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture. And the Picture Gallery contains a marvelous collection of paintings, all by Australian artists. I think you can buy reproductions of some of these paintings in the museum shop.

My favorite part is souvenir shop. There is a wonderful collection of souvenirs from the old days when people traveled by ship. You’11 find all sorts of things there: old suitcases, ships’ crockery, first class cabins decorated in the fashion of the day. Just imagine what it must have been like to travel first class.

The unique feature of the museum is the historic ships which dock outside in the harbor. If you are interested, you can take a tour in the ship called Vampire, which is the highlight of the tour.

即使不是整篇改写，考生也可以精读听力原文，撷取其中精华表达，来给自己的答案加分。

再举一例：剑桥 2 test 4 section2 中有一段导游白：

Great. Well, hi, everyone! My name’s Jody and I’m one of the four recreation officers here at Rainforest Lodge. My job is to make sure that you all have a great stay here with us and go away feeling relaxed and refreshed. As you can see, we’re literally in the middle of nowhere at the Lodge. There are no newspapers or TVs and there’s only one phone and that’s in the office. The Lodge is a complete ‘getaway from it all’ experience: a place to unwind and appreciate the world without a lot of interruptions and distractions.

黑体字部分就是一个很好的描述。那么，比如在卡片中，被要求将一个旅游景点的时候，这句话就可以派上用场了，比如我们可以说：

The trip toNew Zealandis a complete ‘getaway from it all’ experience: a place to unwind and appreciate the world without a lot of interruptions and distractions.
