雅思口语高频Part 2《远距离步行》的重点在于“Activity”带来的好和坏

　　雅思口语高频Part 2《远距离步行》的重点在于“Activity”带来的好和坏！今天新航道南京雅思培训机构老师为大家挑选的是一道高频靠后的话题--《远距离步行》，该话题目前高频排名第25。虽然不是很高，但排名前30的都必须挨个准备。

　　Describe a long walk you ever had

　　You should say:

　　• When it happened

　　• Where you walked

　　• Who you ever with

　　• And explain how you felt about it

　　这道题从小问题来看，整体不难，同时也和之前所讲的话题《向长者学习的技能》(点击标题查看原文)有一定的关联性。

　　它们的关联性不是在于"技能=步行"，而是"技能"和"步行"都是一种活动。也正是如此，从维度层面着手，它们有着异曲同工之妙。

　　最关键的是，当我们思考它们的最后一问的时候，它们的观点都可以是一样的。

　　·学习一项技能/远距离步行带来的好处：

　　交友

　　促进身心健康

　　提升品质/拓展知识面

　　·学习一项技能/远距离步行存在的问题：

　　耗费时间/精力/钱

　　危险：山路陡峭/虫子/车来车往

　　明确了最后一问的答题方向后，我们便可任意选择一个机会来展开远距离步行。

　　它可以是朋友组织的一次远足踏春;也可以是学校或者机构组织的;也可以是你自己在没事情干的时候出去走了很远的一段路。

　　至于具体的细节，我们就按小问题的答题结构一一来看。

　　01

　　When it happened

　　此小问需要依照"具体时间点"对其时间细节进行描述。

　　完整的时间包括：Year-month-date-hour

　　以上时间信息不需要全部cover，差不多挑选其中的2-3个点从大往小进行阐述即可。比如："year-date-hour"/"month-date"。

　　而在给出时间信息时，也没有必要是非常具体的时间，比如：2022年3月10日，毕竟这样的日子并不一定对很多人而言是有意义的。

　　为此，在阐述"date"的时候可以用"星期几/天气/早中晚"来进行抽象说明。

　　我非常推荐你强化下"天气"的内容，天气会影响人的心情，也会影响计划。比如，这个步行可能发生在暴雨天气下，即便如此，这个活动依旧没有取消，你不得不继续参加;也有可能这个徒步发生在天气晴朗的时候，为此非常适合外出。

　　在阐述"hour"的时候可以用"before/after/while"来确定具体时间范围。比如：当我刚起床的时候就被叫去徒步;或者当我刚吃完早饭，徒步活动就开始了。

　　Example one：

　　It took place about a month ago. I clearly remember it was a Saturday morning. While I was still sleeping, my friend, Jack, called me and asked me to go for a long walk with him. Even though I was very sleepy, I still jumped at the chance 抓住机会. After having a short breakfast, I set off 出发.

　　Example two：

　　The last time I went for a long walk was about a year ago. It is a tradition in my school that every summer, we have a summer outing 夏游. I clearly remember last year when we had this event, it was a terrible day. The heavens opened 倾盆大雨一泄如注 before we set off. In spite of that, the event wasn't cancelled and we continued.

　　02

　　Where you walked

　　此题的拓展相对简单，先明确一个目的地。一般而言，会去徒步的地方都风景优美，比如：村庄/山上/湖边等。

　　接着，我们便可结合地点类的相关维度给出细节的描述。比如：location/ popularity/ environment/ size等。

　　也可参考此篇中涉及的有关地点类维度：地点类话题看这一篇就行了(内附答案)

　　假设我徒步的地方是西湖，我便可以进一步说明"它位于城市市中心，离我家不远，过去差不多20分钟。西湖很大，我原本以为至少需要走一天才可以，后来发现4小时就足够了。最终我们从中午走到了日落。"

　　Example one：

　　Our destination was a small village off the beaten track 偏僻的. It is tucked away 隐匿 in the mountains, so the air is clean and many people choose to go hiking there. But this village is a bit far from my school and it takes about 6 hours for us to get there on foot.

　　Example two：

　　We drove to a mountain first. The mountain is the highest in my city and it is also noted for 以...闻名 an abundance of flora and fauna 动植物. When we arrived, we started climbing. After the rain, it was a bit slippery 滑的, so we moved slowly and finally it took about 4 hours for us to arrive at the top.

　　03

　　Who you were with

　　"who with"类型问题是事件类话题中常见的小问，但它不止出现于事件类，地点类/活动类话题中也会出现。

　　此类问题要具体分为两种情况进行探讨：

　　1.反复性

　　当我们被问到"who you go with"的时候，主要问的是"你经常跟谁一起去"，这也说明你去这个地方的次数超过1次。

　　基于此情况，我们可以按"主次/时间线"来回答。大多数情况跟谁一起去，偶尔跟谁;或者之前跟谁去，现在跟谁去。

　　2. 一次性

　　当我们遇到的话题是"Describe a time when..."的时候，它下面出现的"who you went with"就是一次性的情况，因为它问的是你哪次跟谁一起去。为此，《远距离步行》中的第三小问对应的就是一次性的情况。

　　基于此，我们可以按"+/-"运算来分析问题。

　　·3=2+1 (具体数字可按实际情况调整)

　　该情况下，总共去的是N个人，而他们跟你有两种关系。比如：既有你的朋友，也有你的亲人;或者既有学生，又有老师

　　为此，不同的关系就值得拆分开来，对他们做进一步的描述。

　　Example：

　　Actually there were 4 people who joined the activities including myself and Jack. The other two were Jack’s friends. Even though we hadn't met each other before, we hit it off 一拍即合 straight away 立刻. They were also very experienced and enjoyed this kind of outdoor activity. During the trip, they shared with me so many interesting things they had done before.

　　·2+1=3

　　该情况下，原本决定要去的是几个人，后来又增加了一些人。为此，后来增加的人就值得具体说明下他们是谁，以及他们加入的原因。

　　Example：

　　Actually at first, only Jack and I decided to go for a long walk. But when I shared this news with my cousin, she was very keen to go too. She thought it was also a good opportunity for her to relax and unwind 放松 after a long period of studying. She jumped at the chance 抓住机会 and came with us.

　　·3-1=2

　　该情况下，说明有人中途退出。接着我们便可进一步探讨，他退出的理由。比如：懒/ 临时有事/ 习惯性放鸽子等。

　　我个人还蛮喜欢放鸽子这回事，它会使你的细节拓展变得很不一样，可具体参考example two。

　　Example one：

　　Actually the activity was for the whole school, meaning that all the students and teachers need to take part in it. However, some students thought it would be too tough so they found an excuse not to come.

　　Example two：

　　Originally it was going to be me, Jack and another friend but he is such a flaky person 放鸽子的人 and stood us up 放鸽子 that morning. When we called him, he ignored all our phone calls. As we are used to him not turning up, we didn't give it another thought and just carried on.

　　04

　　How you felt about it

　　任何的感受都可以有好有坏，为此，我们可以从该活动带来的好处以及坏处来思考。具体的好坏，我已经在文章最开始的部分说明。大家可以有所选择。

　　Example：累+放松身心

　　Even though it was a very tiring journey, I gained a lot. I think the most enjoyable part was the beautiful scenery along the road. We breathed the fresh air and enjoyed the blue sky with big, fluffy clouds. More importantly, we saw so many vibrant flowers blooming in the mountains. It was really picturesque and I couldn’t help taking so many pictures.

　　Example two：累+加固友情/了解自然

　　Even though my feet were killing me the next day, I have so many fond memories 美好的回忆 from the walk. I got the chance to chat with my friends. We gossiped and giggled a lot. I found out more about them and felt lucky to be their friends. What’s more, the journey was also an eye-opener 开拓视野的事. As a city girl, I knew nothing about nature. But along the road, I saw so many beautiful plants and lovely animals. My friends knew more than me so they taught me many new facts.

　　Example three：受伤+学会坚持

　　It was a meaningful journey for me. Even though I got injured because I fell over on the slippery road, I still gained a lot. I learnt the importance of persistence. At first, I really wanted to give up, but I kept going. Because of this, I witnessed the most beautiful rainbow in the sky and I also saw incredible animals. I am so glad I pushed myself.

　　看完以上讲解，你知道你该怎么完成这个话题了么?
