中國考生的弱項(xiàng)是口語和寫作部分,而由于缺乏實(shí)際練習(xí)英語的場景,所以其中口語又是最最讓我們托友們頭疼的事情。這篇文章將通過對口語Task1題型的分析,和大家一起來商討一下我們該怎么把口語這個惡性腫瘤徹底降服!

Task1題型分析

(1)這道題屬于個人陳述題,choose a place/person/matter you like and explain why you like it.它要求你在陳述中加入對具體事例的描述。

(2)具體做題步驟:首先你必須確定你將要陳述的 specific topic,然后你要擴(kuò)展2-3個sub points,當(dāng)然要有相應(yīng)的supporting details。此外,注意你整個陳述的時態(tài)把握,例如,你講述的是關(guān)于一位過世的親人,那么你的時態(tài)主要確定為過去式和過去完成時。最后要Pay attention to the time,盡量避免超時的現(xiàn)象。

(3)下面我們用一個具體的事例來說明。

事例1 Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.

以下就是一個考生對這道題的回答,大家可以參考一下,首先他首句就交待了主題the classroom is the most important place for him. 然后擴(kuò)展了兩個sub points,一個是 study, 另一個是discuss problems with classmates.

Sample answer: As a student, the place I go to often which is very important for me is the classroom. Firstly, I can listen to the teacher face to face, and then I can acquire the knowledge according to the teacher’ instruction. I can also study by myself as nobody bothers me here. Secondly, I can discuss the problems with my classmates. We can exchange our opinions. Through the discussion, we can improve each other.

事例2 Describe a person you admire.?

以下是考生對這道題的回答,首先他對自己陳述內(nèi)容的整體架構(gòu)把握地很好,分兩個sub points來支撐它的主題,而且每個sub point都又有相應(yīng)的supporting details來輔助。

Sample answer: I admire my father very much. Firstly, I think he is a wise man. When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices. Secondly, his life is very successful. He makes a lot of efforts to make our lives better. He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.

事例分析

(1)W: When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices.

R: When I fall in difficulties/ get into trouble, he would give/ offer me a lot of useful advices.

第一句話的表達(dá)方式屬于中國式英語的錯誤表達(dá)方式,改正后的表達(dá)更標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一些。

(2)在陳述中多次使用a lot of。其實(shí)表示許多的詞匯有很多很多。For example, many, much, a great deal of, plenty of, a great many, a large number of, a great deal of, a slew of, a myriad of還有建議大家在平常的學(xué)習(xí)中多多積累同義詞,這對提高你的語言多樣性表達(dá)方面很有幫助!

(3) W: He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.

R: He also has plenty of strong points which I should learn from.

首先表示優(yōu)點(diǎn)的詞匯:strong point, strong suit, merit and so on.而advantage有有利條件、優(yōu)勢、利益、益處的意思,但是用它來表達(dá)優(yōu)點(diǎn)不合適。此外,advantage有很多實(shí)用的固定短語:have the advantage of somebody比某人強(qiáng),或者占上風(fēng);take advantage of somebody/ something充分利用某物/某人;to somebody’s advantage對某人有利。多積累這些實(shí)用短語,會對你的口語表達(dá)起到很大的作用!此外,study和 learn都有學(xué)習(xí)的意思,放在一起這樣就造成了重復(fù)。也許在平常寫作中不會犯這種低級錯誤,但是到真正考場上這并不意外!大家要注意了!
