在雅思口语考试中,由于文化差异、考生听不懂单词等原因,常常会出现“文不对题”的现象。在本篇中,南京新航道雅思口语培训中心就为大家整理了雅思口语高频错题分析,详细讲解怎样在考试中避免这些错误。
我们先来看人物类的话题:
人物类:
Do you think people’s relationship with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?
在这个问题中,强调的是现在与过去的一个比较,是否一致,提问的是邻里关系。很多考生感到无从下手,因为邻里关系是我们考虑地很少的一个话题,因此容易答成“邻里之间相互帮助、或者是邻里之间比较陌生、不太沟通等等”。这样回答忽略了比较,过去与现在的比较是答题的关键,我们要先说明是否一致,再说明若不一致的话具体体现在哪些方面,使用例子来证明,然后再说原因,这样才是一份比较好的答案。
Sample:
No, I don’t think it’s the same as that in the past. In the past, people had good relationship with neighbors, they chat with neighbors, had dinner or watched TV together with them on special holidays, but now they are unfamiliar with neighbors. It is because in the past, people lived in courtyards, they shared things with neighbors like the bathroom, the space for activities, and even only one TV set was owned in a family in a whole courtyard. But now they live in apartments, they do not have to share, so they want privacy.
What kinds of people do children in China want to be similar to when they were young?
在这个题目中,关键的部分是“什么样的人”、“想与之相同”两个点。很多同学认为应该答成“诚实的人、乐观的人、勇敢的人”;另外一个思路是答成“明星、导演、作家”。我们先来问同学们:kinds of people应该如何定义。按照人格来分,可以是各种好的人格、人品;而按照职业来分,可以分为明星、导演、作家等,那么,这个题如何答才合适呢?没有小孩子希望成为“不诚实、不乐观和不勇敢的人”,所以说人格、人品肯定不合适,而且这样答太宽泛了。也就是说,这个题主要是说职业或是社会身份,然后再简单给出原因即可。
Sample:
Well, children want to be similar to the great people in their mind, like teachers, scientists, sports stars or engineers. Because some of the children are influenced by their parents’ jobs, they regard parents as their heroes and models. Some of them just think stars or scientists are cool people.
物品类:
What are the differences between men and women when they see a color?
这个题目是比较难的,很多同学对于这个题到底问哪方面感到困惑。其实,在雅思口语问题中,总会有问题让你感到困惑,因为考官问问题的方式是不拘一格的。甚至有时候他们是即兴发问,不要太纠结什么样的答案才是所谓的标准答案,因此,我们可以从这一方面入手:男性看到一种颜色时,想到的是是否喜欢,然后是选择这个颜色使用在什么东西上,然后女性则有什么不同。如果想成男性喜欢什么颜色而女性喜欢什么颜色,就偏题了。我们可以这样回答:
Sample:
Men and women have differences on the taste of color. When they see a color, like blue, they will have different thoughts. Men like blue, and they prefer blue back pack, blue T-shirt. When women see blue, they will think if it is the prevailing color for the whole year, maybe they will choose blue high-heels or swimming suits.
What are the differences between buying something in a shopping mall and buying something online?
在这个题目中,很多同学答成了shopping mall的好处坏处,或者是online的好处坏处,这样答没有完全错误,但是忽略了一点,differences的题目要求学生找出其中的区别,两个内容相对着说,而不是分开,各自回答其优缺点。如果大家听到shopping mall和online就立刻作答,就有些偏题了。我们需要在几个方面来对比两种不同购物方式的区别:比如价格,方便程度,产品质量等等。
Sample:
There are differences between buying things in shopping mall or online. First, it is much cheaper to buy the same thing online than in the shopping mall. I think it is because of the rent fee or other high cost in shopping mall. Second, it is convenient to shop online, I mean, you can surf the Internet on the bus, at home or in restaurant, but when you go to the shopping mall, you have to go far distance. But the quality of products is generally better than that online.
Do you think films have much influence on young people?
这个题目中,问的是对于年轻人来说电影有没有很大的影响,那么对于小孩子的常用思路:媒体暴力、小孩子潜意识的模仿就不是重点了。Young people一般指的是年龄在十几岁到三十几岁的人,可以积极、消极影响都说一下,大家不要完全把young people说成children,或者包含children。
Sample:
Yes, films have much influence on young people. Most of films are educational, they teach some historical knowledge or encourage people to learn the positive theme like being optimistic or strong, pursuing true love. However, some of the violence in films have harmful influence on young people. Violence shots are exciting, but we’d better keep away from them.
根据以上内容分析,在口语考试时,大家要先听懂问题,如果没听懂,可以提问以保确定,不要在没有听懂的情况下含糊作答。在回答时,抓住问题中的关键词是非常重要的,大家在平时的备考中多积累这些社会话题,是可以应对口语考试中的题目的。更多雅思资料、资讯,尽在南京新航道官网。
