雅思口语考试第一部分part1之traveling

1.Do you enjoy traveling?For sure!I love traveling but I don’t get many chances to do so.As a student, Idon’t

have much time during the school year, and I don’t have muchmoney to spend on holidays. However, last summer, I went to Beijing with mybest friend, and I must say it was really a cool trip.I visited all themajor tourist destinations, and got to see all the monuments that make Beijingso famous. It’s a stunning city!This year, I would like to head to Yunnan Province. Ihear it is a spectacular region.

2. Haveyou ever been abroad?

No, I haven’t. I have never had the chance to go. Myparents and I have only traveled in Fujian Province.My parents neverwent abroad either. You know, it costs a lot of money to go on holidaysoverseas. You’ve got to fly and you need to get a visa. And more importantly,if you really want to enjoy your trip, you need time, but my parents never getmore than 5 or 6 days off in a row.

3. If youcould go to any foreign country for a holiday, where would you go?

I would love to go to America!it’s a huge countryand there is so much to see.Iwould like to visit New York City, you know, to see theStatue of Liberty, Times Square,Wall Street, and do some shopping on the 5`" Avenue.Then I would liketo fly west to Yellowstone National Park. I learned about Yellowstone in themovie called 2021 that cameout a few months ago.There’s a giganticunderground volcano, and you can see some *all eruptions. There are hundredsof *all lakes, with a stunning mix of colors:blue, green, red.It would be neat to see all this.

4. Whichother cities have you visited in your country?

I have been to Hong Kong, and it was a fantastic trip.The city is so busyand crowded, but also so well-organized at the same time compared to myhometown. We call HK “shopping paradise” in the mainland, and I must admit thatI wasn’t disappointed with all

the massive modern malls everywhere. I also visitedShanghai.I found Shanghai veryinteresting, because it’s such a mix of old and new. Insome neighborhoods, people stilllive in old buildings, wash their clothes on thesidewalk, and hang everything on the street.People seem veryrelaxed. On the other hand, a few blocks away, you can see busines*enrushing to ameeting from one skyscraper to another. It’s a fascinating place!I also wentto Sanya,Hainan Province, in southern China. It was very relaxing, and the beach thereis picturesque.

5. Whendid you last go on a trip?

On Labor Day in May this year, I went to Huang Shan, youknow, the Yellow Mountain in Anhui Province. I spent 4 days there, and it was amemorable trip.First, the scenery was breathtaking all the way up. It takes a few hoursto walk to the top, but it is really worthit. And you know,it’s a famous place, many emperors have climbed the Yellow Mountain and Ilearned quite a bit about our culture and Chinese history. In addition, Ivisited some gorgeous little villages around the mountain. Each house is veryold, and I got to see traditional architecture. I went with my parents. We werelucky with the weather. We got some great pictures of the whole trip.

6. Whodo/would you prefer to travel with?

It would definitely be great to travel with friends. Itwould be a lot of fun.Traveling can bring people closer together, and I am surethat if I were traveling with my best friend we would learn a lot from eachother. We are actually planning a trip together for the October holiday. Weintend to go to Xi’an.

7. What doyou like to do on holiday?

Well, I like to go back home and spend time with myrelatives during the holidays.My university is located pretty far away from myhometown, so I don’t get to see my parents at any other time. My mother usuallycooks a lot of great food for me. I usually go for a walk with my Dad. Thethree of us sometimes go shopping.I generally take advantage of the vacation to take iteasy and recharge my batteries.

8. Do youthink it’s good for young people to travel?

Yes, definitely! Traveling is a great opportunity foryoung people to see somethingnew and learn about different cultures.In addition, theycan meet new people, and open up their minds to the world. They need to realizethe differences between their daily lives andother people’s routines andcustoms. On top of this, if they get to travel by themselves, it’s a goodopportunity for them to make decisions on their own, and as a result becomemore independent and mature.

9. What doyou think people can learn from traveling?

There’s a lot to learn when traveling. First of all, ifwe go to some historical places like Beijing or Xi’an, we can obviously learnabout the local history and culture. In addition,if we go to thecountryside or visit some of the stunning mountains in my country, we canrealize howbeautiful China really is, and we can also find out about local legends andfolklore.Finally, we can learn about ourselves too, because we can compare otherpeople’sideas to ours, and plus we have to make decisions as wellto plan the trip. We definitely get to think a lot, and learn how to appreciatethings back home too when we get back.

11. Whywere the Beijing Olympic Games important for China?

The Olympics were significant for many different reasons.First of all, thisinternational event attracted thousands of tourists from all over the world. Asa result,it really boosted the national economy. In addition, itwas a great chance for China to spread its culture, since everyone throughoutthe world got to learn about China. What’s more, the government invested a lotof money in new infrastructures and facilities.The country reallymodernized thanks to the Games. Finally, the Olympics brought our people closertogether. They created a feeling of patrioti* as China competed against othercountries.

雅思口语之如何缩小考官理解的偏差

第一，如何用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。美国人和美国人交谈80%是想告诉对方这个事物是什么。我们的课本尽管词汇难度不断加深，但思维逻辑结构却只停留在一个水平上。中国人常说Where is the book(这本书在哪儿)?很少有人说What is a book(书是什么)?而美国的小学生就开始问：What is the book?这种Where is the book只是思维的描述阶段。但是我想连大学生也很难回答What is a book?因为中国传统英语教学模式没有教会学生表达思想的技巧。



第二，如果已经学会界定，但理解还有偏差，那就要训练How to explain things indifferentways(用不同的方式解释同一事物)。一种表达式对方不懂，美国人会寻找另一种表达式最终让对方明白。因为事物就一个，但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。这就要多做替换练习。传统的教学方法也做替换练习，但这种替换不是真替换，只是语言层面的替换，而不是思维层面的替换。比如，Iloveyou(我爱你)。



按我们教学的替换方法就把you换成her，mymother等，这种替换和小学生练描红没有什么区别。这种替换没有对智力构成挑战，没有启动思维。这种替换句子的基本结构没变，我听不懂Iloveyou，肯定也听不懂I love her。如果替换为I want to kiss you，I want to hugyou，Iwill show my hearttoyou等，或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》，告诉对方那就是爱，这样一来对方可能就明白了。这才叫真正的替换。也就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思，或者一个表达式对方听不清楚，举一个简单易懂的例子来表达，直到对方明白。



第三，我们必须学会美国人怎样描述东西。从描述上来讲，由于中美的文化不同会产生很大的差异。我们描述东西无外乎把它放在时间和空间两个坐标上去描述。美国人对空间的描述总是由内及外，由里及表。而中国人正好相反。从时间上来说，中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述。我们描述一个东西突然停住时，往往最后说的那个地方是最重要的。美国人在时间的描述上先把最重要的东西说出来，然后再说陪衬的东西。只有发生悲剧性的事件，美国人才在前面加上铺垫。这就是中国人和美国人在时间描述上的巨大差别。



第四，要学会使用重要的美国习语。不容易学、易造成理解困惑的东西就是“习语”。比如北京人说盖了帽儿了，外国人很难理解，这就是习语。所以和美国人交流时，能适当地运用美国习语，他马上就会觉得很亲切，也很爱和你交流。那么什么是习语?就是每个单词你都认识，但把它们组合在一起，你就不知道是什么意思了。



第五，学会两种语言的传译能力。这是衡量口语水平的一个最重要标准。因为英语不是我们的母语，我们天生就有自己的母语。很多人都认为学好外语必须丢掉自己的母语，这是不对的。



第六，要有猜测能力。为什么美国人和美国人、中国人和中国人之间交流很少产生歧义?就是因为他们之间能“猜测”。我们的教学不提倡“猜测”。但我觉得猜测对学好美国口语很重要。在交流中，有一个词你没有听懂，你不可能马上去查字典，这时候就需要猜测来架起一座桥梁来弥补这个缺口，否则交流就会中断。



中国人学习口语讲究背诵，背句型、背语调，结果就是很多人讲口语的时候讲着讲着眼就开始向上翻，实际上是在记忆中寻找曾经背过的东西。如果他要是能猜测的话，我想也就不会出现这种现象。
