【雅思】提升口語表達功力:細節(jié)擴展
我們以“描述你在特殊場合穿著的衣服”這個話題為例。如果僅僅描述一件衣服,那么可說的內(nèi)容很少。但是如果我們更加專注于如何描述這件衣服的背景故事和增添一些比較地道的描述,那么實際的效果是大不相同的。僅以下文為例,供廣大考生參考。
Describe a piece of clothing you wear on a special occasion
Key points: Graduation, school, pink dress, accessory
Actually, in my high school, students are required to wear the school uniforms each day at school. Everyone looks the same to a great extent.(程度的描述)No one's special. So after a while, we all have the similar physical features. Baggy pants, oversized jackets, and big glasses on our faces,(生動的描述)of course(自然的語序). Lucky enough(選取比較自然的連接詞), we had a graduation ceremony, and the high school allowed us to wear something casual(轉(zhuǎn)換詞性)on that very day.
For this special day, I picked up a really nice dress. My mum and I found it at an elegant shopping mall, which was stunning in the store window.(還是細節(jié)描寫,而且增添了背景故事)I had my eyes on that dress immediately. It was a pink dress with a black leather belt, which was neither too fancy nor too formal.(加入形容的部分)It boasts an graceful cutting style with a U-neck shape. Somehow, it reminded me of a typical Chanel dress.(加入了西方文化背景知識)My mum said it might be too mature for my age, but I believe it was OK.(自然地加入自己的態(tài)度和看法)Now think about it, I guess I was eager to be an adult at the time, so wearing a dress that pretty could significantly improve my confidence as a 18-year-old young lady. Besides, the color was perfect for my skin tone.
Actually, a look is never finished without the right accessories.(除了衣服以外增加一些小細節(jié),有助于豐富所描述的整體內(nèi)容)I chose to wear the pearl necklace and a really nice pair of beige(稍高級的詞匯)leather shoes. Not surprisingly, I got more than my fair share of compliments(地道的描述方式)at the graduation ceremony on that day.
在備考以及提高口語的過程中,我們可以做的是平時多多積累好的表達方式和各種地道的詞匯及用法,然后盡可能在口語練習中不斷練習和提高。通過持續(xù)的練習,相信每個學生在自己的基礎上都會有不同程度的提高。
