雅思口语part2难点新题《交通拥堵》如何才能更简单的拓展细节？

　　今天，新航道南京雅思培训班老师讲解一下口语话题《交通拥堵》，这道题目前排名32，依旧有相对高的可能性被抽到。

　　Describe a time when you were stuck in a traffic jam

　　You should say:

　　• When it happened

　　• Where you were stuck

　　• What you did while waiting

　　• And explain how you felt in the traffic jam

　　鉴于多数同学看题只看标题，乍一看的确让人觉得这个话题不容小觑，但如果细看它的小问题，其实，它还是挺简单的。只是事件类话题基础题型的应用。

　　01

　　When it happened

　　具体时间点“When”的拓展是事件类必备的基础题型，在之前的多篇中我都有专门的讲解。

　　多数同学给出的时间信息都是非常基础的，若你想要给出更多的细节描述，你就需要从“Year-Month-Date-Hour”中拓展更多内容。

　　一般我会建议学生选择2-3个时间点信息进行拓展即可，但必须从大往小进行阐述，比如：Year-Hour; Month-Date-Hour等。

　　在阐述这些时间信息时，你可能不会把真实的时间记得详尽。并且我们要做的也只是给出大概的时间范围。为此，阐述“Date”时，除了特殊日子，我们可以用“星期几/天气/早中晚”来对那一天进行描述;阐述“Hour”时，我们则可以用“before/while/after”来说明具体的时刻范围。

　　比如：我记得我上次堵车是一个月前，那天天气不好，外面雨下的很大。吃过午饭，我原本想要躺在家里看电视，结果我朋友打电话过来让我跟她出去喝咖啡。虽然不是很想出门，我还是换好衣服出发了。

　　Ps：若想把时间点说的更细节化，“天气”是一个很好的着力点。它会影响人的心情，也会改变人的计划。

　　Example one：

　　It took place a couple of days ago. I clearly remember it was a terrible day as it was pouring down 下大雨 outside. I decided to stay tucked up in bed 窝床上watching my favourite tv series. However, after lunch, I got a phone call from a professor who told me I had to attend a meeting offline in the school. I reluctantly 不情愿地 set off 出发 in the rain.

　　Example two：

　　It took place about a month ago. I clearly remember it was a sunny Sunday afternoon. After having woken up from a cat nap 午睡, I got a phone call from my friend who asked me to go for a coffee with her. As I had nothing to do, I jumped at the chance 抓住机会 and set off straight away 立刻.

　　Example three：

　　It took place about a year ago. I vaguely 模糊地 remember it was a Friday afternoon. After having my last class, I went back home as usual. As my parents were busy working, I took a bus home.

　　02

　　Where you were stuck

　　答题方向：地点+理由

　　这道题的框架比较简单，但阐述上需要加进去大量的画面感细节。我们分三步来走：

　　首先你可以任意选择一个堵车地点

　　比如：可能刚出门就堵车了，可能行驶到半路堵在了一个学校门口，也可能快到了却被堵住了。

　　接着我们就可以分析堵车的原因

　　比如：上下班高峰期/ 车祸/ 雨天/ 节假日游客拥堵/ 修路等/

　　之后我们便可从现场的状况以及人的情绪变化上来进一步渲染

　　比如：几车追尾，有些被拉到了路边，有些还停在路中间。交警在现场指挥，但堵车状况依旧严重。逐渐的人们从耐心变成焦躁。有下车了解状况的，也有人大声打电话向亲朋好友抱怨的。

　　Example one：

　　The journey was going well, it was smooth and fast and we barely stopped at any lights. Then as we were passing the Shopping centre on the outskirts of the city we came to a grinding halt 急刹车. A car had broken down a few cars in front of us. It was only a two-way street so it was impossible to go around it.

　　Example two：

　　Heavy rain always slows down the traffic in the city. In order to arrive on time, I set off 30 mins earlier. However, after being on the bus for just a few minutes, the bus came to a stop. There were vehicles everywhere. We started inching forward 慢慢前进 but very slowly. After a while, people started to get impatient and were honking their horns 按喇叭.

　　Example three：

　　We got stuck in the traffic jam just as we hit the last intersection 十字路口. There had been a terrible car accident. Around 10 cars had rear-ended 追尾. Several of them had been pulled to the roadside while 2 were still in the middle of the road. Even though the traffic police did their best to clear the traffic, it still took about 30 mins to move past it.

　　03

　　What you did while waiting

　　拓展方向：Online & Offline

　　答题结构：主次/时间线

　　细节拓展：5w1h (when/where/ who/ why/ what/ how/ how much/ how often/ how long)

　　回答这道题的时候，我们可以从“Online & Offline”两个维度上进行分析。

　　你手机里有的任何一款软件都可以是你线上能做的事情。不要总是盯着“发微信/打游戏”，你也可以试试“看股票/ 查阅信息/ 看综艺/ 上网课等”。

　　Offline的活动则可以考虑和其他人进行沟通。比如，和乘客间的聊天，也可以和司机，或者可以和其他车里的人隔窗互动。除此之外，也可以是你一个人的自娱自乐。比如：发呆/睡觉/做作业/看风景/拍照记录等。

　　有了具体的内容之后，我们便可从“5w1h”中抽取你想要的角度，并按主次或时间线进行拓展。

　　比如：司机说预计堵车时间30分钟左右。为了充分利用堵车的时间，我开始上起来网课，因为一节网课大概20分钟左右。但是当我看完整个网课视频后，堵车依旧严重。于是就跟司机聊了起来。他是一个看似普通但内心非常有趣的人。通过交流才知道，他曾经还是个老板，因为疫情倒闭了就开起了出租车。他跟我分享了他起起伏伏的人生故事，不知不觉中时间也很快过去了。终于我们也重新上路。

　　Example one：

　　To pass the time I read a bit of my book. I was almost at the end of it so I was engrossed in 全神贯注于 the ending. Then I put some soothing 舒缓的 music on which was nice as it drowned out 淹没 the honking 喇叭声 and shouting from the cars next to me. We were stuck near a park so I decided to draw some pictures of what I could see out the window. Trees, flowers, people doing exercise.

　　Example two：

　　At first, I tried to finish my assignments. However, I felt car sick 晕车 and the cramped 拥挤的 space was making me feel uncomfortable. Then I started chatting with the driver. He was a middle-aged man and was happy to chat with me. He told me about his life and I told him about mine. We actually had lots in common. He really helped kill time.

　　04

　　How you felt in the traffic jam

　　你可能会觉得堵车这种场景，我们能产生的感受只能是“negative”, 但其实我们也可以从“Positive”的层面来说明。

　　虽然堵车会浪费时间，影响整个计划安排，但堵车也可以让你匆忙的脚步慢下来。为此，堵车也可以是一个非常好的理由让你休息放空一会。

　　Negative 消极

　　Example ：

　　I can't stand them. They infuriate 激怒 me as I waste so much time. And you never know how long you will be stuck in a jam so it plays havoc with 毁坏 your plans. You have to either leave with plenty of time to spare or risk being late. I try to avoid rush hour 高峰期 whenever I can.

　　Positive 积极

　　Example one：

　　Well, no one likes being stuck in a traffic jam. But living in a big city, congestion is unavoidable. It is best to just accept it and try and make the most of the time 充分利用时间. For me, it is time I can just switch off 放空from work and do nothing.

　　Example two：

　　Everyone around me was furious 生气的 and they were getting impatient. It didn't actually bother me as I had received a message from my friend, saying she was also stuck in traffic. As soon as I knew that, I didn't need to worry about being late. It was far better to be on an air-conditioned bus waiting for her rather than in the street.

　　通过对以上4小问的讲解，现在你可以完成属于自己的回答啦!
