雅思換題季思路拓展方面,還是希望同學(xué)們按照我之前反復(fù)提過無數(shù)次的細(xì)節(jié)填充,同類對(duì)比兩大思路來進(jìn)行基本的拓展就可以了。而地點(diǎn)類的話題用同類對(duì)比是有效的一個(gè)思路拓展方式之一,即“這個(gè)地方和你之前去過的或者類似的其他地方有沒有什么不同?”
本季地點(diǎn)類新題比以往略多,不過總體套題改編的難度不是很大,例如很多public place其實(shí)也可以和上一季度的舊題也就是park / garden套題一下,而a school in your childhood其實(shí)也可以實(shí)行“跨區(qū)套題”,也就是人物類中“外語說的好的人”可以就是那個(gè)學(xué)校里面的老師,上課也比較好玩兒,同時(shí)對(duì)比其他自己經(jīng)歷過的老師,那這樣的話難度也不是很大了。
接下來是本期挑選的兩個(gè)范例話題
例題一
Describe a place where you read and write (not your home)
去年的話題中其實(shí)有兩個(gè)和這個(gè)很像的題,我們當(dāng)時(shí)也分享過,一個(gè)是quiet place,而一個(gè)是a place for you to study, 然后結(jié)合一下同類對(duì)比的思路那么這個(gè)題目就不會(huì)太難~
按照四個(gè)提示點(diǎn)來看,可參考的思路如下:
我們這里依舊拿一個(gè)bookstore舉例
1.Where it is / What it is like (這個(gè)是地點(diǎn)類話題開頭固定可以說一下的細(xì)節(jié))
- pretty close to where I live … take the metro from my home … get off the train after 2 stations … would be just a 10 minutes ride … be there whenever I like or have spare time… (稍微提一下差不多的數(shù)據(jù)也是可以作為拓展的思路)
- located in a small lane… make it far from the hustle and bustle of the city centre …
2. How often you go there (這里也可以固定拓展一下你是怎么知道這個(gè)地方的,或者誰推薦的作為拓展)
- a recommendation from a vlogger … whose vlog includes an introduction of this place…
- would like to be there … as long as I need to be concentrated for an important project or assignment … quite frequently before the final exam…
3. Who you go there with (補(bǔ)充一下在那里做什么)
- with a friend who has just picked up the habit of reading / who is always seeking for a quiet space…
- grab a book we would be interested in and spend the whole afternoon there / bring my laptop and type my essay…
4. And explain how you feel about this place (和其他類似的地方對(duì)比,說明為什么你常去這個(gè)地方)
- an ideal place for self-study or doing reading and writing …
- extremely difficult to find another place like that … (other places) customers make loud noise by talking over the phone or chat with their friends … staffs just ignore that kind of behaviours … do nothing about it … (this place) posters to remind people of that… maintain a quiet environment…
- (other places) not so many vacant seats…some customers are just sitting around on the floor … have to queue for available seats … (this place) plenty of the seats…leave them for anyone who likes to study or read there…
- a small café … grab food and beverage … feel hungry for reading and writing… (show student ID) enjoy 20% off for the price…
除了同類對(duì)比之外,其實(shí)也是結(jié)合細(xì)節(jié)講一下為什么這個(gè)地方會(huì)吸引你過去,那么2分鐘就可以駕輕就熟了。
例題二
Describe a place you remember well that is full of colours
本題的重點(diǎn)在于選擇什么樣的地點(diǎn)來說才好展開,因此沒必要為了與眾不同而選擇很冷門的話題,即便有一點(diǎn)大眾化的話題,能盡可能流程和自然(語調(diào))的表達(dá)出來才是更重要的,因?yàn)榭荚嚨年P(guān)鍵還是在于語言的表現(xiàn)。
按照四個(gè)提示點(diǎn)來看,可參考的思路如下:
1. Where it is
- two of them in my country (Shanghai / Hong Kong) … have been to both of them…
- all left me a deep impression … such a colourful world for not only for kids … but also for adults…
2. What it is like
- one of the most renowned theme parks all over the world…
- own features for the buildings … e.g. princess house… be painted in pink colour… / house for Mickey Mouse… a combination of red, black, and white colour… (舉例說明)
- staffs in the park… dress up with colours … invite visitors to design your own T-shirt with various colours… as a souvenir … (這個(gè)服務(wù)是我瞎扯的,但是合理不是嘛?并且和題目相關(guān))
3. What it is used for
- try some recreation facilities … e.g. roller-coaster… a good choice if you are stressed out by your study or work… (依舊舉例說明)
- many cafés with themes according to different fairy tales… e.g. the story of the Snow White(持續(xù)舉例說明)
- all the facilities … colourful decoration… makes it adorable and brings a cosy atmosphere…
4. And explain why you remember it well
- first time for me to go to a theme park … as a reward from my parents since I had got a great score in the final exam of primary school … (這里結(jié)合事件類話題特征,描述“印象深刻的一次”)
