雅思口語(yǔ)進(jìn)階之轉(zhuǎn)變空話套話（廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校 吳微微） 　　在與學(xué)生的交流中,，廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校老師時(shí)常能聽到很多對(duì)特定問題的固定回答，例如說Why do people like listening to music? 回答的點(diǎn)通常是reduce pressure/ relaxation/ kill time,。又如What is the importance of learning a second language? 學(xué)生通常會(huì)說better to communicate層面的話,。像這樣的情況還有很多，private cars通常大家能想到convenience; doing housework的普遍答案是independent; doing sports的慣有觀點(diǎn)一般是build up our body. 　　對(duì)于雅思口語(yǔ)的各大類話題,，似乎每一個(gè)考生心目中都已經(jīng)形成了自己的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案,。但是當(dāng)真正考試的時(shí)候，考官還會(huì)不停地要問why, 要我們?cè)倥e例,，再具體說明,，這可難倒了大片雅思大軍，直至對(duì)西方的思維方式感到抓狂,。其實(shí),，用中式思維也是一樣的，放松身心,，強(qiáng)身健體,，方便快捷，獨(dú)立自主都是一些比較“空”的話,，考官當(dāng)然不會(huì)喜歡這樣的鏤空回答,。 　　當(dāng)然從考生角度出發(fā)，廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校老師也很能理解大家的慣有想法:能用英語(yǔ)流利而完整地表達(dá)一定的觀點(diǎn),，我們覺得我們已經(jīng)成功了,。但其實(shí)這個(gè)只是一個(gè)好的開頭，這只是我們?cè)谕ㄍ晒Φ穆飞蟿倓傔~出的第一步,。也就是說,，我們只給出了自己答題的方向和立足點(diǎn)，沿路的風(fēng)景如何,，大家就一無所知了,。 　　那應(yīng)該如何從我們選定的方向出發(fā)，把表達(dá)的內(nèi)容由“空”變“實(shí)”呢,？這里廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校給大家的建議是這樣的,，我們可以從optimize personal experience（優(yōu)化自身經(jīng)歷）出發(fā)，也就是把觀點(diǎn)聯(lián)系自身實(shí)際,，把抽象觀點(diǎn)變實(shí),。以下廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校老師將主要給大家介紹三類話題的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷優(yōu)化法回答。 　　一,、音樂類 　　Q: Why do people like listening to music? 　　大家都喜歡音樂,，這個(gè)無可置疑,。喜歡音樂確實(shí)是因?yàn)閞educe pressure/ relaxation/ kill time這樣一些休閑放松作用。那我們?yōu)槭裁葱枰獪p壓放松呢,？ 　　As a graduating student, I meet loads of deadlines from the assignments of the teachers. Meanwhile, it is really a tough time that I have to both preparing for my resume and go to different places to take the interview. 　　又要完成各個(gè)學(xué)期任務(wù),，還要準(zhǔn)備簡(jiǎn)歷，趕場(chǎng)面試壓力確實(shí)很大,。這應(yīng)該是每個(gè)畢業(yè)生在畢業(yè)年都會(huì)遇到的情況,，確實(shí)需要音樂。 　　抽象點(diǎn)+個(gè)人經(jīng)歷,，那我們的答案就可以是這樣的: 　　Well, I suppose that most of the people like listening to music cause it is a real good way to relax and reduce pressure. You know, as a graduating student, recently, I meet loads of deadlines from the assignments of the teachers. Meanwhile, it is really a tough time that I have to both preparing for my resume and rushing to different places to take the interview. Music, during the period, is a real good antidote to my stress and tight schedule. I think most of the people share the same feeling with me. 　　放入自己的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷,，再來回答問題，就比較容易理解什么是真正的壓力,，什么是所謂的放松減壓了,。 　　二、語(yǔ)言類 　　Q:What is the importance of learning a second language? 　　確實(shí),，語(yǔ)言能讓我們直接想到的方面就是communication,。那如何把communication和自己的實(shí)際經(jīng)歷聯(lián)系起來去豐富我們的對(duì)話，讓考官感受到語(yǔ)言對(duì)個(gè)人的好處呢,？ 　　It is likely that, after mastering a second language, I am able to find a decent job easily in the international corporations. The reason is that I probably can be more competitive among all the candidates. 　　作為求職個(gè)體而言,，如果能掌握好第二外語(yǔ)，相對(duì)來說去面試國(guó)際大公司的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力會(huì)強(qiáng)一些,，這樣不就是交流給我們帶來的好處嗎,？ 　　因此，對(duì)于上述問題,，我們可以整合成這樣的一個(gè)答案: 　　Actually, learning a second language is of great importance, especially for the people who are hunting for a job, of course, including myself. It is likely that, after mastering a second language, I am able to find a decent job easily in the international corporations. The reason is that I probably can be more competitive among all the candidates. So this is what I mean the advantage of learning a second language. 　　更好的交流對(duì)你來說的作用是什么,？對(duì)我而言，一門好的二外確實(shí)可以在找工作上幫到我很多,，這就是我所謂的語(yǔ)言重要性,。 　　三、交通類 　　Q: Why do you want to own a car? 　　想要私家車,，原因很簡(jiǎn)單，就是因?yàn)楹芊奖?？何為方便,？這個(gè)太抽象了，是時(shí)間,、還是線路,、或者是使用上呢？總是得給聽者一個(gè)具體的方向吧,。 　　Actually, I live far away from my work place. Every day, it will take me roughly one hour and a half to go to my work place. Unfortunately, I always miss the early bus and be late for my work. If I could own a car, I do not have to wait for the bus; instead, I am able to go directly to my destination. 　　這個(gè)也是廣州朗閣雅思學(xué)校老師的真實(shí)經(jīng)歷,，一說到真實(shí)經(jīng)歷,，就不會(huì)再感覺自己沒什么可說了，一肚子都是苦水,，很能讓對(duì)方理解你的感情,。 　　那把convenience和personal experience結(jié)合起來，我們就可以說得更具體點(diǎn)了: 　　I suppose that owning a private car will bring lots of convenience to my life. Actually, I live far away from my work place. Every day, it will take me roughly one hour and a half to go to my work place. Unfortunately, I always miss the early bus and be late for my work. If I could own a car, I do not have to wait for the bus; instead, I am able to go directly to my destination. I bet life will be easier than now. 　　Convenience是什么,？就是不用等早班車,，能夠直接去目的地啊，這樣上班生活就方便很多了,。 　　三大類話題到此已經(jīng)介紹完畢,。大家會(huì)不會(huì)對(duì)于上述的問題也有一些共鳴呢？如果有,，趕緊拿起手中的雅思材料,，加入自己的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。感受一下,，自己的表達(dá)是否比以前更加自然,、流利了呢？希望此文對(duì)大家回答雅思口語(yǔ)第一和第三部分的問題會(huì)有一定的幫助,。
