读书不觉已春深,一寸光阴一寸金。春日已过近半,不负好时光.今天来跟大家一起分享雅思口语。雅思口语考生需要兼顾好两个身份:一是编剧,二是演员。高分的答案首先来自于高分文本,包括词汇、语法以及语言的连贯性;其次再是个人的演绎,包括流利度和发音。
下面我们一起来看一篇雅思口语视频的9分文本。
Part 2
Describe a gift or a present that someone gave you recently.
(请描述最近某个人送你的礼物)
You should say
What the occasion was
Who gave it to you
What it looked like
And explain how you felt about receiving it
Candidate:
I'm going to talk about a present my husband gave me last year for my birthday. We had gone to Istanbul for a few days. My husband always wanted to go there; anyway, we had a few days’ holiday from work and we decided to fulfill my husband's dream.
As I said earlier, I'm really interested in art, and so even though I had no real desire to go to Istanbul, I was totally captivated by all the beautiful buildings and the wonderful arts and crafts that were available there. The blue mosque was my favorite building. From the outside it looks just like a typical Ottoman mosque, but inside it is quite startling. The large windows with the light reflecting on the exquisite blue tiles made it just breathtaking.
I asked one of the guides about the tiles and she told me that they were from Iznik and they're still made today. When we left the blue mosque, we walked down a pedestrian lane full of shops, including some tile shops. In one of the shops, the owner told us that the tiles were made in Iznik. One of the tiles really caught my eye; actually, it sang to me. It was a fish, four big fish and lots of little ones, all in different shades of green. I really really wanted it, but when we asked the price, it was very high, something like three hundred American dollars. Obviously I knew we could negotiate, but it seemed such a high price that we just left.
The next night, we went out for my birthday meal, and just as we were finishing the dessert, the waiter came over and handed me the most beautifully wrapped gift. I knew at once because it was very heavy that it was the fish tile. That's why I ...
Examiner:
Thank you! Does this person often by you presents?
Candidate:
Well, he's good at remembering my birthday and our anniversary, so he does usually buy me something nice then, but he doesn't just buy a present out of the blue.
Examiner:
Thank you.
* Ottoman, the Turkish Dynasty that ruled the Ottoman Empire from the 13th century to its dissolution after World War I.
* Iznik, a town in Bursa Province, Turkey.
回答描述了去年我和丈夫在伊斯坦布尔游玩时,丈夫送我精美瓷砖的这样一个故事。仅从文本角度分析,便有很多可圈可点之处。首先,词汇使用上准确自如,包括对非常见词汇和习语的使用。尤其对“mosque”(清真寺)描述的一段,比如“Ottoman”(奥斯曼)这个特定词的使用,体现了对历史的了解。
最后一句话:“透过大大的窗户射入的光线,反射在精致的蓝色瓷砖之上,使得整个清真寺内美不胜收”读起来仿佛身临其境。
另外说起自己最喜爱的瓷砖:“各种绿色系的四条大鱼和无数小鱼”,画面感极强,呼之欲出,跃然纸上。
最后还有点睛之笔,“it sang to me”(她在对我歌唱),用拟人的文学手法表现出了瓷砖对自己的吸引力,让这篇口语稿无法不成为上乘之作。
而它的还不止于语言的使用,从事件描述上,也体现出了满满的设计感。一般的事件话题,考生会按照平平无奇的起因、经过、结果展开描述。而高分的事件描述,还会需要一个特殊元素——转折,显示出故事的跌宕起伏,也就是我们所说的起承转合。
所以看中礼物没有买的桥段设计得非常巧妙,为第二天送生日礼物埋下伏笔,更加体现了礼物的珍贵和收礼的惊喜,而这也让一个物品描述题变得更加多元,因为送的过程充满了故事性,更加利于讲解过程中让考官充满聆听的兴趣。
