众所周知，在雅思口语考试的第二部分，主要是考察考生对于具体事物、人物、事件等的具体描述能力。该部分大约3~4分钟，其中包括考生开始描述前，可以有1分钟时间来准备有关的描述内容，并使用考场提供的纸和笔，准备相关的笔记内容，以便一会口语发挥之用。在一般情况下，考生需要就考官所提供的卡片上的问题进行2~3分钟的描述。卡片举例如下： Describe a Family Member Describe a family member that you are very close to. Your should say: Who this person is. What this person is like. How you are like and unlike this person. And explain why you are close to this person. 而且在第二部分的描述中，对人物的描述是考试的主流话题之一。人物描述出现的概率相当高，几乎在每个月的考试里面都能遇到。一般来讲，人物描述的体现方式有以下几种： a famous person/a child/an old person/a favorite teacher/a close familymember/a close friend 而且现在又出现了一些新的表现方式，如：an interesting person/a happiest person等。不论是怎样的表现形式，万变不离其宗，对于考生来说，只要掌握方法，都能逐一***、举一反三。一些考生也许会有疑惑，如果只是回答卡片上的几个问题，似乎很难达到2分钟的时间长度。那么，卡片上没有没到的方面，大家也是可以描述的。但是前提是，这些虽然不是卡片问题的内容，但也必须是和该卡片主体息息相关的信息。 对于该人物的描述，考生需要注意以下几个方面： 1、对卡片上的问题进行回答。 以上卡片包含着4个问题，在笔记过程中应当以词语为基础来进行分解： Who this person is. (人物，e.g. my mother) What this person is like. (描述性词语，e.g. looks, personality, hobbies) How you are like and unlike this person. (比较和对比，similarities – looks &hobbies; differences -- personality) Why you are close to this person. (该家庭成员对自己的影响.) 2、对卡片上没有提到信息进行描述。 在准备的1分钟里面，考生可以将一些问题的答案关键词纪录在纸张上，即以上括号里面的一些内容，以起到提醒的作用。然后结合自己的情况进行相关的描述。 Sample Answer (with key words underlined): The person I am very close to in my family is my mother. My mother ismedium height who always wears a friendly smile on her face. Blue is herfavorite color as she thinks it symbols peace and emotion. I think is has a lotto do with her personality. As a music teacher, she is always very patient andkind to her students. There are quite a few similarities between us. People allsay that I look like my mother more than my father. We both like listening tothe music and watching movies. On weekends, we often go shopping in thesupermarkets or department stores. But we are also different in many ways. Mymother is a good gardener. Our veranda is lined with all her gardeningmasterpieces, such as chrysanthemum and Chinese roses. I am not so patient intaking care of the plants. Besides, my mother can cook many delicious dishes,while I can’t at all. I have learned how to treat people and how to deal withproblems on my own from her. She is the one I am close to as she reallyinfluences me a lot. 有的考生在未结束描述前，可能被考官打断(Sorry. I am gonna stop youthere.)如果遇到这样的情况，是因为考官需要掌握和掌控考试的节奏和时间，打断并非是由于认为考生讲得不好，所以考生不必紧张，只需要根据考官的指令继续考试即可。这个是对考生们心理的考验，相信大家经过那么多大大小小的考试，心理素质是没有问题的。? |
