雅思口语描述人物话题需要注意两点
雅思口语考试的第二部分中,考生被主要考察的是对于具体的事物、人物、事件等的具体描述能力。第二部分历时3~4分钟,其中包括考生开始描述前,可以有1分钟的时间来准备有关的描述内容,并使用考场提供的纸和笔,准备相关的笔记内容。一般情况下,考生需要就考官所提供的卡片上的问题进行2~3分钟的描述。卡片举例如下:
Describe a Family Member
Describe a family member that you are very close to.
Your should say:
Who this person is.
What this person is like.
How you are like and unlike this person.
And explain why you are close to this person.
在第二部分的描述中,对人物的描述是考试的主流话题之一。人物描述出现的概率相当高,几乎在每个月的考试里面都能遇到。一般来讲,人物描述的体现方式有以下几种:
a famous person/a child/an old person/a favorite teacher/a close family member/a close friend
在今年的雅思口语考试中,又出现了一些新的表现方式,如:an interesting person/a happiest person 等。不论怎么样的表现形式,对于考生来说,只要掌握方法,都能逐一破解。有的考生可能会提出疑问,如果只是回答卡片上的几个问题,似乎很难达到2分钟的时间长度。那么,卡片上没有没到的方面,我可以进行描述吗?回答是肯定的。但是前提是,这些虽然不是卡片问题的内容,但也必须是和该卡片主体息息相关的信息。
对于该人物的描述,考生需要注意以下几个方面:
1、对卡片上的问题进行回答。
以上卡片包含着4个问题,在笔记过程中应当以词语为基础来进行分解:
Who this person is. (人物,e.g. my mother)
What this person is like. (描述性词语,e.g. looks, personality, hobbies)
How you are like and unlike this person. (比较和对比,similarities – looks & hobbies; differences -- personality)
Why you are close to this person. (该家庭成员对自己的影响.)
2、对卡片上没有提到信息进行描述。
在准备的1分钟里面,考生可以将一些问题的答案关键词的形式纪录在纸张上,即以上括号里面的一些内容,以起到提醒的作用。然后结合自己的情况进行相关的描述。
Sample Answer (with key words underlined):
The person I am very close to in my family is my mother. My mother is medium height who always wears a friendly *ile on her face. Blue is her favorite color as she thinks it symbols peace and emotion. I think is has a lot to do with her personality. As a music teacher, she is always very patient and kind to her students. There are quite a few similarities between us. People all say that I look like my mother more than my father. We both like listening to the music and watching movies. On weekends, we often go shopping in the supermarkets or department stores. But we are also different in many ways. My mother is a good gardener. Our veranda is lined with all her gardening masterpieces, such as chrysanthemum and Chinese roses. I am not so patient in taking care of the plants. Besides, my mother can cook many delicious dishes, while I can’t at all. I have learned how to treat people and how to deal with problems on my own from her. She is the one I am close to as she really influences me a lot.
有的考生在未结束描述前,可能被考官打断(Sorry. I am gonna stop you there.)如果遇到这样的情况,是因为考官需要掌握和掌控考试的节奏和时间,打断并非是由于认为考生讲得不好,所以考生不必紧张,只需要根据考官的指令继续考试即可。
鉴于雅思口语考试的特殊性,很多考试的卡片问题是一般的考生在日常生活中很少接触到的方面。所以对于备考雅思的考生,建议一定要在考前有针对性的进行充分准备,并适当联系笔记的技巧,加之有规律的练习,才能在第二部分中有比较满意的表现。

雅思口语有代表性的“常见错误”
1. "Chinese people use trees as chopsticks."
(拿树当筷子?这筷子也太大了吧,应该是use trees for making chopsticks吧?由此可见雅思口语中准确使用动词的重要性。)
2. "I think environmantal protection is essential but not so important."
(典型的逻辑混乱,essential就等于very important,环保是至关重要但是不是那么重要的?......无语......)
3. "Without electricity, the world would become so dark that a person could not even see a hand in front of his face."
(缺了至关重要的时间状语at night!这么说的话古代人都是一直生活在伸手不见五指的黑暗中的吗?)
4. "Watching TV is convenient and people can avoid traffic jam."
(这又是什么逻辑?看电视和避免交通拥挤有什么关系?)
5. "I like writing because it is good for your health."
(Why?)
6. "My grandmother is 98 years old so she is very pure."
(为什么98岁就必然“纯洁”?)
7. "As we all know, every advantage has its disadvantage."
(......好深奥......)
8. "The rate of net-cheating has boomed by 1.27% in the past 2 years."
(说这句话的人一定是雅思图表作文没学好。Boom=Increase rapidly,增长1.27%算rapid吗?应该用climb或edge up。)
9. "Modern ways of life brings people some healthy diseases."
(疾病还有“健康的疾病”?貌似说这句话的人想表达的是"健康方面的疾病吧"?那就直接用desease就可以了,因为所有的疾病都是“健康方面”的,要么还有哪方面的?)
10. "My father is a photograph......"
(我爸爸是一张照片?这个强劲的,应该是photographer。)
11. "The data is very astonished!"
(“数据非常吃惊”?典型的没有学好现在分词和过去分词的区别,应该用astonishing-“让人惊讶的”。)
12. "At that time, I was studied at university."
(“我那时候在大学里被研究?”你是小白鼠吗?应该是I was studying at university。)
13. "Traveling can enlarge our eyesight."
(旅行能够拓宽我们的视力?应该是broaden our horizon吧。)
14. "Today, more and more people are getting old."
(不是more and more people在变老,是everybody!只要你是地球人都在getting old的......)
15. ——"Are you a student or are you working now?"
——"Oh, in my opinion, I am a student."
(为什么要加in my opinion?难道别人都不承认你是学生?)
16. "You need some skills, such as a partner, to play table tennis."
(Partner是一种skill吗?)
17. "China is a big country, so we have four seasons."
(无数小国家就没有一年四季了吗?)
18. "My boyfriend doesn't fit me."
(Fit是指“大小尺寸适合”......应该用suit,不然会让人想到很A的方面......)
19. "To be my friend, you must be like animal !"
(“要当我的朋友,你就得像动物一样”?多了个不必要的be意思差别好大哦!)
20. "Most Chinese people live in the north,south,east,and west of China."
(除此之外还有哪里呢?)
