　　作为时尚的弄潮鹅，同学们对于一些现在流行的事物和网络热词肯定十分了解，比如双十一、撸猫、社牛(社交牛X症)、社恐。每次这些词一出现，就会瞬间席卷社交平台!

　　它们的概念确实非常朗朗上口，以致于很多同学到了雅思口语考场上还刹不住车，想要脱口而出，但不知道如何直译，瞬间却又哑口无言，导致考官以为你们装了什么“静音开关”。

　　为了预防这种事情的再次发生，新航道南京雅思培训班小编今天就告诉大家如何向雅思口语考官介绍一些大家平时用得很多的有特色的中文表达!这样回答，难道不比多次出现的雷同的回答更加新鲜?这样考官也会更有可能打出高分哦!话不多说，先码再看!

　　娱乐篇

　　国内有关娱乐的一些特色表达，当属下面这些了

　　■ pet / pat your cat/dog 撸猫/撸狗

　　■ cat cafe 猫咖

　　■ double eleven (carnival) 双十一(狂欢节)

　　■ balance payer 尾款人

　　而跟“entertainment”和“shopping”有关的话题主要有：

　　Part 1

　　Ⅰ. Do you prefer relaxing at home or going out in the evening? [Why?]

　　Ⅱ. How popular is this with other people in your country?

　　Ⅲ. What kind of shopping do you like doing?

　　Ⅳ. Is shopping a popular activity in your country?

　　Part 3

　　Ⅰ. What kinds of things do people in your country often buy from online shops?

　　Ⅱ. Why has online shopping become so popular in many countries?

　　Ⅲ. What are some possible disadvantages of buying things from online shops?

　　那应该怎么回答呢?拿part 2第二道题来举例，大致观点就可以说：

　　回答：I would like to describe a wonderful shopping online experience which happened on this double 11.

　　观点一：On this day, products were much cheaper, so I could buy lots of necessities with huge discount.

　　观点二：Besides, the parcels arrived in 2 days which were really fast.

　　然后再相应地加入一些细节信息，比如在双十一买了哪些东西，为什么要买这些，和过去的对比等。

　　食物篇

　　要说到中国特色的东西，各种食物必须要算一样!作为吃货的同学们也一定想自豪地、流利地把它们介绍给考官。那小编就给大家列举一些跟食物相关的特有表达!

　　■ Deep-Fried Dough Sticks 油条

　　■ dim sum 点心

　　■ wonton 馄饨

　　■ steamed buns 馒头

　　■ rice vermicelli / rice noodles 米粉

　　■ salted duck egg 咸鸭蛋

　　■ preserved egg 皮蛋

　　■ rice porridge 白粥/稀饭

　　■ stinky tofu 臭豆腐

　　■ Luchuan / eating Chinese barbecue 撸串(中国特色饮食文化)

　　■ foodie 吃货

　　而且小编发现，跟食物有关的口语问题，确实还不少!比如：

　　Part 1：

　　Ⅰ. Do Chinese people like barbecue?

　　Ⅱ. What kind of food do you like to eat for barbecue?

　　Ⅲ. Is there any place suitable for barbecue?

　　Ⅲ. Describe a dinner that you really enjoyed.

　　如果同学们在回答问题时能用上这些独特的答案，也能让考官在重复的提问中收获一点不一样的反馈!比如介绍撸串，在说出概念之后最好再介绍一下它，比如：

　　Do Chinese people like barbecue?

　　Yes, we do. We call it "Luchuan" in Chinese, which means eating Chinese barbecue. Lu chuan is now one of the most indispensable(必不可少的) pastimes for Chinese people because it's economical and affordable.

　　学习/工作篇

　　学习和工作的相关话题也算是雅思口语考场上的“永恒”话题了

　　Part 1

　　Ⅰ. Do you work or are you a student?

　　Ⅱ. What subject are you studying?

　　Ⅲ. Why did you choose that subject?

　　Ⅳ. What would you like to do in the future?

　　Ⅴ. Do you think it’s important to choose a subject you like?

　　而且不管同学们是学生党，还是工作党，大家热衷的永远是吐槽它们，也就诞生了不少的网络热词，下面这三个就是最近一段时间讨论度居高不下的：

　　■ lie flat 躺平

　　■ involution 内卷

　　■ commuter / worker bee 打工人

　　那同学们解释的时候具体该怎么说呢?新航道南京雅思培训班小编拿一道题来举例：

　　What would you like to do in the future?

　　: I just want to lie flat, which means give up ambitions and do the bare minimum to get by(勉强生存), like some boomerang kids(归巢族) in America.

　　For me, it stands for my life philosophy(人生哲学) of no worldly pursuits, and it is also a passive choice in this fast changing society.

　　人物篇

　　跟“people”相关的话题还有网络热词也都是大家平时高频会遇到的，比如：

　　■ social phobia 社恐/社交恐惧症

　　■ social butterfly / social chameleon 社交牛X症(直译是社交花蝴蝶/社交变色龙)

　　■ Versailles 凡尔赛

　　相关的话题有：

　　Ⅰ. Describe a person who impressed you most in your primary school.

　　Ⅱ. Describe an interesting person from a different country who you know.

　　Ⅲ. Describe one of your best friends.

　　重点在于如何把这些新颖的概念和自己的答案结合起来，比如针对上面说的最后一个问题，同学们想要说明自己的朋友有“社交牛X症”这个特质的时候，就可以说：

　　He’s always been something of a social butterfly, so I've never worried about him making friends or find his way in the world.

　　不知道这些词同学们都弄清楚了没有呢?可以发现相较于常规的表达，用上这些词反而会让考官的大脑中形成更立体化的形象，更迅速地get大家的意思~而且用这些热词也比较符合同学们的表达习惯，可以说这些用让考生和考官双方都能有更好的体验，何乐而不为呢?!赶紧练习吧!
