话题素材的积累是获得雅思口语高分的关键因素之一,2018年1月份共进行了4次雅思考试,口语部分出现了哪些新话题?哪些话题依然会出现在1-4月份的口语考试当中?
沃邦雅思口语教师李老师为烤鸭们做了一个汇总,助力1-4月份考雅思的烤鸭们夺取高分。
Part 1本季度新增11个话题中,关于Ideal job, Physical exercise以及Apps的讨论是近几年都没有在Part 1出现过的话题,而其他“新题”则属于旧题再现。
另外,大约36个去年5-8月份的P1活跃话题依然会出现在2018年1-4月份的口语考试当中。
因此,考生无需过分担心需要因应话题改变而调整Part 1的答题策略。
图例:
常规题 | 新题 | 旧题 | |
Name | Ideal job | Family Activities | High School |
Animals | Punctuality | Friends | |
Work or Study | Dictionary | Teenagers | High School |
Outdoor activities | Training | Music | |
Accommodation | Physical exercise | Boats | Leisure time |
Sleeping | Meals | Public transport | |
Hometown | Gifts | Computer | Advertisement |
Phone and Apps | Newspaper | Handwriting | |
Daily Routine | Season | Jewelry | Swimming |
Volunteer | Handwriting | ||
Children | Swimming |
新题 | 旧题 |
Part 2 & 3
在新增的20余个卡片题中,人物类题目依然不多。
考生们可整理一个体育界名人的素材,即可活用到“popular person”以及“athlete”的答题中。
值得留意的是,虽然Part 2已经不再出现历史人物题,但在事件类题目中新增了历史相关题目——描述一段历史时期。
因此,历史话题相关素材依然需要提前准备。
人物类 | A popular person | A famous athlete | ||
A person from another country | A knowlegeable person | A good parent | A businessman leader you admire |
地点类方面,尽管过去几年并未出现过“important river/ lake”这样的话题,但我们可以把它看作是“近水之地”、“水边城市”、“游泳之地”等题目的变体。
因此,考生答题时除了可讲述河流起源、长度、宽度、流经城市等基本信息外,还可重点描述河流的历史意义及对人们日常生活的影响。
其余地点题无太大变化,考生依旧按照大地点(城市花园)和小地点(音乐厅)的思路逐一准备即可。
地点类 | An important river or lake in your country | A city or country to work or live | A public place to be improved | A place in your city that you would like to visit |
a public park or garden | a theatre you listen to music | An interesting place not many people know | A leisure facility in your hometown | |
a dream home |
物品类旧题重现比例较高,season、toy和TV program旧话题回归,电子产品(电脑类、非电脑类)依然是必备物品类话题素材。
描述“一个技能”可以考虑以运动、语言或乐器等话题作为切入点。
物品类 | A favorite season | A toy in childhood | An electronic device | An impressive story |
A subject at school | A skill not learnt at school or at work | a good service | A TV program | |
A rule | A product you bought that made you happy | A piece of furniture | An advertisement | |
An important letter | A traditional product | An advertisement | A science subject | |
An exciting book |
2017年9-12月物品类话题比重加大,而今年1-4月,事件类成为话题重仓。
事件类 | A historical period | something you learned from a person or in a place | A special day that you went out but didn’t spend much money | An event or festival you celebrated |
An unforgettable meal | A time when someone said good 是words to you | A visit of your friend | Something you enjoy doing with an old person in your family | |
An occasion needed to be polite | A time when you saved money for something | A photo you remember well | ||
An achievement | A good decision | An occasion of helping someone | A moment with your phone | |
a time when you needed to bring the cell phone | a car journey | an activity you do to keep fit | a time when you moved to a new school or home | |
an experience that you taught something |
不难发现,一个好的思路其实可以活用到10个以上的本季事件类题目中。
比如准备一个素材:曾经参加或组织过的公益活动——可以是社区公益、音乐会或体育兴趣小组等。
这个素材即可活用到:一张难忘的活动照片、一次省钱经历、人说你好话的一次经历、你从某人身上学到的东西、不怎么花钱的一次外出、一次庆祝活动、一餐难忘的聚餐、一个好的决定、一项成就、一个好的决定、一次助人经历......等等。
所以,换题季会方?
不存在的。
最后提醒:
在口语备考中,素材准备固然重要,但切忌只顾素材准备,而忽略了日常的口头表达训练。
我常见有些同学在考前一周还在奋笔疾书准备口语讲稿,但写好的材料自己根本没有时间在考前看一遍或读一遍,更别提脱稿练习。
备考口语的正确操作应该要平衡这两者的时间:
以一小时口语学习时间为单位,前30分钟可准备某题的口语稿,而后30分钟脱稿答题,大概说上4-5遍。
每次都要录音答题,然后回放录音和挑出存在语法错误或表达不流利的部分重点练习。
另外,同学们也可以把自己平时练习的这些录音存在电脑或手机上,在考前一天反复听。
比起纸质版的笔记,笔者认为音频能更好地帮助同学们记忆口语素材。
最后预祝参加1-4月份雅思考试的同学们口语考试游刃有余,旗开得胜~
