雅思口語(yǔ)話(huà)題culture
A foreign culture
Ok, well one of the foreign cultures I’m most interested in at the moment is American culture, so that’s what I’ve decided to talk about.
And as for what I know about it, well if I’m gonna be totally honest with you, I really don’t know that much, mainly because I haven’t yet been to the States, so I’m no expert in any sense of the word, but one thing I think is fair to say is that Americans really love sports, especially basketball and baseball. And I’ve also heard that, apparently, universities in America offer a lot of sports scholarships, so I think this goes to show that being good at sport is pretty highly-regarded over there, and is a strong part of their culture.
So that’s one thing, and I think I’m also right in saying that rap and hip hop are very popular kinds of music in the States, because I’ve noticed that in a lot of Hollywood films I’ve watched, this type of music seems to appear quite a lot, although I have to admit that I find it really difficult to understand what exactly is being said or sung in the songs!
But anyway, with regard to why I find the American culture interesting, well firstly, I guess one reason would be that it’s completely different to our culture over here, and that’s kind of what makes it so appealing to know more about. I mean, just to give you one example, the way food’s cooked in America, on the whole, is a lot different to here, as over there they tend to use an oven for most of their cooking, whereas here in China, we tend to fry most of our food. And as well as this, I think another thing that makes the American culture interesting is the fact that it encompasses so many things that I wasn’t aware of before, so learning about it has really broadened my mind.
And this, I would say, is the beauty of learning other cultures, because for me at least, making an effort to understand a little bit about U.S. culture has definitely given me a wider perspective on life.
So yeah, that’s pretty much all I’ve got to say, so thanks for listening.
雅思口語(yǔ)P3話(huà)題：文化Culture
考官?：What is 'culture' for you?
考生?: Culture can be defined as the way of life of a particular society or section of society. It involves their customs and traditions, and so in some senses culture is what distinguishes us from others, what makes us unique. I think culture is also what connects us to our past,
to our heritage. We mustn't forget modern culture either, though. Youth culture is often very vibrant and powerful, with its new and inventive forms of music, dress and art.
劍橋雅思口語(yǔ)加分表達(dá)：
be defined as 被定義為
customs and traditions 習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)
in some senses 在一定意義上
distinguish 區(qū)分
connect someone to 把...和...聯(lián)系起來(lái)
vibrant 有活力的
powerful 有力量的
inventive 創(chuàng)新的
考官?：Do you think that it is important for a society or culture to have a sense of continuity with the past?
考生?: Yes, definitely. Change is necessary, but it is also frightening. For this reason, people continue to rely on their traditions to give them a sense of their roots and to remind them of where they've come from. Commemorating the past is also a way of bringing people closer together, such as during National Day.
劍橋雅思口語(yǔ)加分表達(dá)：
frightening 恐怖的
continue to 繼續(xù)做某事
rely on 依賴(lài)
a sense of their roots 一種根基感
remind someone of ...讓某人想起
commemorate the past 紀(jì)念過(guò)去
bring poeple closer together 拉近人們之間的距離
解讀雅思口語(yǔ)話(huà)題—— “A Cultural Event in China”
研究中心分析認(rèn)為，在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中，關(guān)于文化、傳統(tǒng)的話(huà)題一直以來(lái)都是考官常問(wèn)的題目，而面對(duì)這樣的問(wèn)題，考生往往都懷有“既愛(ài)又恨”的感情?！皭?ài)”是因?yàn)?，中?guó)的傳統(tǒng)文化本來(lái)就博大精深，理所當(dāng)然有很多可以在外國(guó)考官面前炫耀一番的精彩內(nèi)容;但是，又“痛恨”自己在知識(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)上的匱乏，所以能夠說(shuō)道關(guān)于文化的也就是現(xiàn)在考生嘴邊常掛的那些，如：Chinese New Year, Dragon-boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Day, Tomb-sweeping Festival等等。
不僅如此，對(duì)于回答的具體內(nèi)容更是干澀乏味，比如描述Chinese New Year時(shí)，常聽(tīng)到考生眾多且雷同的回答：We usually have a good time during the festival. The whole family members have a delicious dinner, and friends and relatives come together to have fun. Parents usually give money to children, so they can buy many things they want. 又或者是：On that day, we usually eat moon cakes and watch the round moon in the sky. It is very beautiful, and the story behind it is more beautiful. 我想任何一個(gè)來(lái)中國(guó)呆過(guò)兩年的老外都應(yīng)該早已熟悉了這樣的模式，對(duì)文化背后的故事可能比我們自己的學(xué)生還要清楚;而且，在這樣的內(nèi)容中，其實(shí)根本沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)出中國(guó)的春節(jié)文化到底是如何表現(xiàn)的。那可想而知，最后的結(jié)果輕則無(wú)新穎內(nèi)容，重則沒(méi)有回答題目的核心內(nèi)容。
如果調(diào)整一下回答關(guān)于“Chinese New Year”的內(nèi)容，也許會(huì)讓考官有“耳目一新”的感覺(jué)。
The Chinese are very superstitious and that means they take symbolism seriously. Locals come to market to buy good luck charms. Customers at snack are scooping up all sorts of New Year's treats. 這段話(huà)總述了中國(guó)人過(guò)年的表現(xiàn)，在后面的內(nèi)容中將具體講述如何過(guò)年和特殊的習(xí)俗。
It's a tradition for all of us Chinese to get these sesame balls during Chinese New Year. We use them to worship our ancestors and we say if we have more sesame balls at home then more gold and silver will come into our house. It's really to bring us more wealth in the New Year. Roasted melon seeds symbolize coins, so this means scooping up lots of money. Rice cakes in the shape of fish are big sellers too. In Cantonese the word for fish sounds the same as the word for savings. 這段話(huà)從傳統(tǒng)的飲食細(xì)節(jié)上進(jìn)行描述，這一點(diǎn)是很多同學(xué)所忽視的。朗閣海外考試研究中心分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，大部分同學(xué)僅僅告訴考官我們有delicious food，但忽視了和文化有關(guān)的飲食習(xí)慣;換句話(huà)說(shuō)delicious food可以放在任何一個(gè)場(chǎng)合，而非是針對(duì)該題目的描述。
Another item that locals want to buy for the New Year for good luck is red underwear. Red symbolizes wealth and prosperity and the Chinese want new clothes for the New Year from head to toe and underneath. My aunt buys three lingerie sets every New Year, believing red will bring her good luck. Lunar New Year is the most profitable time of year for this lingerie store.
The banks are also very busy with customers ordering brand-new bills to give away as New Year's gifts to younger relatives or junior colleagues. It's considered good luck for the giver and recipient. 除了飲食習(xí)俗外，春節(jié)中還有很多其他的風(fēng)俗，所以這個(gè)部分的內(nèi)容最好要比飲食多一些，來(lái)突出更多新穎的內(nèi)容，如傳統(tǒng)的紅色和壓歲錢(qián)。這樣做的目的也是為了增加回答內(nèi)容的豐富性和多樣性。
除了描述春節(jié)之外，其實(shí)還有很多其他的cultural event值得一說(shuō)，相對(duì)大眾的文化傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日如中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的“鬼節(jié)”the Ghost Festival，重陽(yáng)節(jié)the Double Ninth Festival;具有地方特色的文化活動(dòng)可以選擇“成都的麻將節(jié)the Mahjong Festival，重慶的火鍋節(jié)the Hotpot Festival in Chongqing”等。這里我們選擇中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的“鬼節(jié)”作為例子，相信考官一定沒(méi)有在考場(chǎng)中聽(tīng)過(guò)考生描述這類(lèi)的主題。
The seventh lunar month in the traditional Chinese calendar is called Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, the Gates of Hell are open to allow ghosts and spirits access to the world of the living. The spirits spend the month visiting their families, feasting and looking for victims. 總體介紹該文化活動(dòng)的情況，初步解釋。
There are three important days during Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, ancestors are honored with offerings of food, incense, and ghost money - paper money which is burned so the spirits can use it. These offerings are done at makeshift altars set up on sidewalks outside the house. 進(jìn)一步詳細(xì)解釋該文化的表現(xiàn)。
Almost as important as honoring ancestors, offerings to ghosts without families must be made, so that they will not cause you any harm. Ghost month is the most dangerous time of the year, and malevolent spirits are on the look out to capture souls. This makes ghost month a bad time to do activities such as evening walk, traveling, moving house, or starting a new business. Many people avoid swimming during ghost month, since there are many spirits in the water which can try to drown you. 用適當(dāng)?shù)睦觼?lái)說(shuō)明該文化的特征。
The last day of the month is when the Gates of Hell are closed up again. The chants of Taoist priests inform the spirits that it’s time to return, and as they are confined once again to the underworld.
針對(duì)這樣的話(huà)題，若希望增加其自然度和真實(shí)感，可以在回答正題之前先給考官打一個(gè)預(yù)防針：“The cultural event I’m going to talk about may sound a little bit superstitious and scary, but it is one of our traditional and cultural events in most areas.”
對(duì)于Cultural event的話(huà)題，回答思路大多情況下都是介紹文化活動(dòng)或事件的主題+具體文化習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)的表現(xiàn);所以，建議希望得高分的考生可以更換老主題的具體內(nèi)容，也可以更換一個(gè)新的主題，否則考官將會(huì)始終以茫然的表情面對(duì)你。

Band 6
A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged (訂婚). I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was hearing the good news (非謂語(yǔ)加分表達(dá)). So in order to celebrate this memorable(值得紀(jì)念的) occasion, I decided to give her a special cake as a present.
Now, I’d like to talk bout the appearance. The cake had two layers (雙層) and it looked silky smooth (絲滑的), with some chocolate frosting (巧克力糖霜) and some candy sprinkles (糖果碎) on the outside. What’s best about it is that (主語(yǔ)從句) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance (未婚夫), which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were so delighted. After they cut the cake, I couldn’t help myself and took a bite. Words can’t describe how (語(yǔ)言無(wú)法描述多么的...) savory is was! I’m not exaggerating (毫不夸張地說(shuō)), it tasted so different from any other cake I’d ever had before, so soft and tender (柔軟的).
As for why it’s special, well, first and foremost, it’s undoubtedly the most special cake I’ve ever had. Plus, it has sentimental values (情感價(jià)值) that cannot be replaced and we all enjoyed it very much.
Band 7
A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged. I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was since mycousin and I are like sisters and she knows me likea book (非常了解某人). So in order to celebrate this memorable occasion, I decided to give her something special, which is afondant cake (翻糖蛋糕).
When the wedding day finally came, I saw the cake for thefirst time and I was totally blown away (感到震驚)! It was an 8-inch two-layer cake with a silky smooth finish, decorated with (非謂語(yǔ)) chocolate frosting and some candy sprinkles. The biggest highlight is that (最大的亮點(diǎn)是…) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance, which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were overjoyed (開(kāi)心的, 替換happy) withan ear-to-ear smile (咧開(kāi)嘴的笑容) on their faces. After they cut the cake, Icouldn’t resist the temptation (無(wú)法抗拒誘惑) and took a bite. The second it touched my tongue (當(dāng)觸碰到我的舌尖時(shí)，時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)), I was utterly out of words (無(wú)法用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)的震驚)! It tasted so soft and tender and it gave me a whole new sensation (一種全新的感受) that I had never had before.
As for why it’s special,well, not only (倒裝) is it the most palatable (美味的，替換deilicious) cake I’ve ever had, but also it has sentimental values that cannot be replaced.
