雅思口语写作话题词汇搜集方法
在雅思口语和写作考试中,考官主要从2个方面考察你的英语水平,一个是形式,一个是内容,在雅思口语考试中,形式上考察口语发音和流畅度,内容上考察的是语法和词汇的丰富度。下面小编就和大家分享雅思口语写作话题词汇搜集方法,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思口语写作话题词汇搜集方法
为什么雅思口语写作中话题词汇的重要性
最简单直接的方式是在说这个话题时起码要用上一些相关词汇。如果你用了若干个,你的话题就立体起来,否则,就是垮的,虚的,假的,背的。说得直白点例子就是:你这个日本迷跟我大聊岛国特色文化,居然都不会使用死宅,手办,动漫,宫崎骏,过劳死这类特定词汇,你在逗我吗?
放在雅思口语话题上来说:
就像你要描述一个历史建筑,在描述细节时,用上文化遗产,工程奇迹,古朴,年久失修或回溯千年,历久弥新;在抒发情感或观点时用上充满历史感,显得庄严肃穆,或再高端一点历史代入感,瞬间,你的描述就真的有了代入感。
而你要描述一个历史人物呢?大概你会用到类似以下的词汇:朝代/古代,大家,家喻户晓,传奇,留名青史/遗臭,悲剧人物,人杰,天才,精神偶像,民族英雄/败类,站在巨人的肩膀,寻着伟人的脚步,缅怀。
而观点类呢,大概就是这种:历史可以为鉴,历史建筑是时光机,伟大的历史人物不曾死去。
这些,就是考官们最在意的real content,也是他们在你的回答里孜孜以求的高光时刻。
那么如何搜集雅思口语写作的话题词汇和观点呢?
一般可借助google搜索来完成。另外配上专门找故事找观点找偏个性化化词汇的quora网。以下是详细步骤。
1. 打开google网,搜索
按照口语的人物,地点,物品,和事件的4大分类,分别关键词搜索historical figure, historical place/building, historical object, historical event。
2. 挑选若干页面
基本上首页的那些页面里,挑3-5篇看一下,就能找到非常多的相关词汇。
比如:排名第1的
3. 搜集潜在的主题词汇
比如进入上述这个页面后, 我仅截取文章的前面一小段。
有这些词汇值得记录:throughout history(史上), help to shape human history(塑造人类史), model king(明君), spiritual teacher(精神导师), give discourses to(传道), disciple(徒弟)
如此反复几篇,你就可以搜集数十上百个话题词汇。
4. 精简主题词汇
根据你的词汇水平,结合实际的口语话题需要,在这个词汇列表里,删减掉太难和太冷僻的,做成你的主题词汇表。
5. quora的补充
quora就是国外版的知乎论坛(也有app哟),所以,你可以看到很多或长或短,或学术或抖机灵,或心灵鸡汤或段子的内容。所以,在这里找一些更草根,更口语私人化的词汇,观点,故事,再好不过。
它长这样(www.quora.com)
6. 不过,找语料,推荐使用google搜索关键词“quora+X.X.X.X.X”,简单直接。
比如,还是historical figure:
c.与前面类似,进入几篇,搜集语料
100+的回答,足够收集很多不同背景不同国度的人的对historical figure的不同观点,词汇与故事。
总之,quora本身就是一个用英语来书写的故事,观点,词汇的汪洋大海。
关于搜集雅思口语写作话题词汇的总结:
如果你对real content有较高的追求,希望在词汇,观点,故事这个内容层面上打动考官,那么,开始使用google+quora吧,他们将为你打开一个新的世界,不管是雅思口语写作,还是新知。
雅思口语part1答案解析:Changes
1. Do you like changes?
I don’t really like change much, no. To be honest, I like life to remain quite stable. I like things to be predictable and so I am a little bit resistant to change. Some people seem to embrace change quite happily, but I’m not one of those people. I prefer things to be pretty much the same without any surprises or things that come along to rock the boat or affect my plans or organization. I’m a very organized person with a fairly conventional life, you see. So, I don’t really favour change much.
2. Can you name some changes that happened in your hometown recently?
My hometown has changed in a number of very positive ways over the past few years. I think it’s because the government have invested money into making it more attractive and following a new “green policy”. Lots of flowerbeds, plants, trees and green areas have been built, roads have been improved and facilities have been updated. So, I’m pretty happy with these changes in my town.
3. Are there any positive changes in your country these days?
There have been both positive and negative changes. In terms of the positive changes I’ve seen a lot of new infrastructural developments, like improved roads, faster trains and more efficient public transport in general, as well as some environmental changes, like cleaner air and more initiatives to make cities greener and more environmentally friendly.
雅思口语part1答案解析:Gifts
1. What’s the best present or gift you have ever received?
Oh, let me think… emmm… I think the best gift I received was a new bike, when I was a kid. I was so excited about this! I was about 6 years old, and all my friends had cool bikes, and then my birthday came around and I got a really amazing bike. I was so happy about this. So, at least at that time in my life, it was definitely the best present!
2. Do you give expensive gifts?
I sometimes do yes. It depends. Sometimes for a friend’s birthday a few of us club together and put some money together and get a really nice pair of fancy sunglasses or an accessory or something for the person. But usually I think it’s the thought that counts, and many people put too much emphasis on the price of gifts and this isn’t a good thing.
3. What do you often choose as gifts?
It depends on who the gift is for! I usually get some ideas from the person’s friends if I don’t already know the kind of things they like or need. A choice of gift could range from a small desk-toy for an office, like a cute cartoon figure, a pair of designer sunglasses, a book… It completely depends on the person.
4. What kinds of gifts are popular in your country?
Popular gifts today are perhaps small fashion accessories. Cute bags for girls, maybe a football or basketball T-shirt for boys… If you go to someone’s house for dinner then it’s customary to take some fruits, some juice, a bottle of wine, maybe some snacks and cakes. Things like this.
