雅思口語話題part2思路拓展：實(shí)用技能
雅思口語part2話題：Describe a practical skill you learned
You should say:
What it was
When you learned it
Why you learned it
And how you felt about it
都說技多不壓身，關(guān)于實(shí)用技能這個(gè)話題，對(duì)于多才多藝的考生來說并不是什么大問題，干家務(wù)這個(gè)不能算技能，考生要盡量明確實(shí)用技能的定義，比如會(huì)修理電視機(jī)算技能，但是煮泡面就不算了，除非你能煮出米其林3星那種級(jí)別。因?yàn)榧寄芟嚓P(guān)的內(nèi)容要具體，所以技能不能過于簡單，介紹時(shí)要說清楚。
技能是什么?什么時(shí)候?qū)W的，為什么學(xué)以及學(xué)會(huì)之后的感想。
來自小站雅思君的口語話題思路拓展：
作為一個(gè)文科生，很多人的印象只是會(huì)背文章，當(dāng)然不，作為一個(gè)大學(xué)生，我可是多才多藝的，彈鋼琴，伴唱這些不算，我有一項(xiàng)實(shí)用技能是很多人不會(huì)的，那就是砍價(jià)，買東西砍價(jià)這個(gè)技能非常實(shí)用，省錢，但是很多人因?yàn)楹π卟桓疫@么做，但是我敢。
好吧，這個(gè)技能是2年前跟我媽媽學(xué)的，她經(jīng)常去菜場買菜，跟小販們討價(jià)還價(jià)，比如買魚送根蔥，買雞蛋送個(gè)框，買衣服的時(shí)候一定要從半價(jià)還起。當(dāng)然，這個(gè)技能到我這里就變成了談判技能，我覺得這個(gè)技能對(duì)我未來的工作很有幫助，一方面談判是溝通交流的過程，讓對(duì)方知道你的需求，同時(shí)你也能通過談判獲得好處，比如商務(wù)談判中會(huì)需要出讓一部分利益來獲取對(duì)方的信任換取長期合作。當(dāng)然，談判也不能一味讓步，該出手時(shí)就出手，比如收購公司時(shí)，在價(jià)格上就一定不能出讓太多。
談判技巧是一個(gè)需要積累的過程，很高興在2年的時(shí)間里，我已經(jīng)逐漸掌握了這項(xiàng)技能，雖然我不會(huì)用來買菜。
如何提高雅思口語水平 雅思口語考試技巧大放送
雅思口語考試技巧一：改進(jìn)發(fā)音
發(fā)音其實(shí)就是要你去發(fā)出正確的英文讀音。 當(dāng)然，你應(yīng)該首先要確保你的語調(diào)和節(jié)奏都是正確的---這不僅僅是關(guān)系著各自單獨(dú)的發(fā)音，同時(shí)還有他們?cè)谝黄饡r(shí)候的發(fā)音。
改進(jìn)發(fā)音有一個(gè)最重要的方法就是練習(xí)。
雅思口語考試技巧二：提高流利程度
從根本上來說，流利其實(shí)指的是可以毫不費(fèi)力地?cái)⑹鲆患虑椤?如果一個(gè)人在說話的時(shí)候比較順暢連續(xù)，少停頓或者是是不停頓，與此同時(shí)在說話的時(shí)候還沒有重復(fù)和更改現(xiàn)象，那么這就可以被稱為說話流利。
此外，與是否可以正確發(fā)音比起來，流利程度往往是與心理因素有著更多的關(guān)系的。 要做到流利的話你必須要對(duì)自己的詞匯量以及還要將每個(gè)單詞以一種合乎語法的順序組合起來有足夠的信心。換句話說， 流利度就是自己能夠非常自信地用英語去表達(dá)自己。 為了有效增加你的自信和提高流利程度，你必須要通過大量的工作來不斷的提高你的詞匯量和語法知識(shí)。
雅思口語話題：Mirror
Do you often look in the mirror?
Do you often buy mirrors?
Where do you put mirrors?
Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
1. Do you often look in the mirror?
思路：可以回答經(jīng)常照鏡子，比如臭美一下，或者檢查有沒有眼屎，不然就丑大了;當(dāng)然喜歡化濃妝的人，可能得經(jīng)常照鏡子，尤其是大熱天和暴雨天，眼線很容易花的。如果有同學(xué)說不怎么照鏡子，也是可以嗒，比如只有要擠臉上痘痘時(shí)才會(huì)想到去找別人借一下鏡子。
誤區(qū)：即使平時(shí)不怎么照鏡子，同學(xué)們也要試試進(jìn)行一定的擴(kuò)展，比如上一次照鏡子或者無意中路過瞥了一眼是什么時(shí)候啦，都是可以的。
語料：
look into the mirror 照鏡子
every now and then 偶爾/有時(shí)
check my make-up 檢查妝容
check my good looks 查看美麗的外表
check how I look 檢查下美不美
hair style 發(fā)型
with the help of… 在……的幫助下
get rid of… = remove… 去掉……
sleepies 眼屎
stick around 粘著
be addicted to… 沉迷于……
get smudged 暈染了
embarrass oneself 丟臉
范例一：
Well, sometimes! You know, I’m a lady and I’ve got to make sure I look good 24/7. Plus, every now and then I need to check if I’ve got any sleepies sticking around the corner of my eye.
范例二：
I guess so. You might not know this, but I’m quite addicted to heavy make-ups and that. So I kind of have to constantly check my face to see if I’ve got my eyeliners smudged. Otherwise I could potentially scare some people. Did that once actually. Was pouring that day, so my whole face was all gone.
范例三：
Not particularly. You know what, I don’t even own a mirror to be honest. But sometimes I do borrow other people’s mirror for a second just to check the spot on my face. Other than that, I don’t really spend much time looking in some mirrors.
2. Do you often buy mirrors?
思路：不怎么買鏡子，我的大部分鏡子都是免費(fèi)的。要么是朋友給的，還有粉餅盒子，它們里面自帶鏡子的;或者是雜志里面送的贈(zèng)品。
誤區(qū)：有的同學(xué)會(huì)就用粉餅盒子當(dāng)鏡子，但是英文又不確定怎么講，沒關(guān)系的，稍微解釋一下就行‘I just use my face powder box or container, you know they always come with a powder puff as well as a mirror’
語料：
free gift 贈(zèng)品
cosmetic products 化妝品
blusher 腮紅
foundation powder 粉餅
plastic wrapping 塑料包裝紙
范例：
Not at all. In fact, most of the mirrors I’ve got are free, I think. They are either from my friends or just came in some magazines, you know they always put some free gifts in the plastic wrapping.
3. Where do you put mirrors?
思路：可以按照化妝用的小鏡子和放家里的大鏡子一起分開講。小鏡子一般隨身帶，塞在手提包里就好了。放在室內(nèi)的大鏡子一般放在浴室啊，門口都行。但是不敢放一個(gè)大鏡子在臥室，因?yàn)榭植榔炊嗔?，害?也擔(dān)心風(fēng)水。
誤區(qū)：我們聽到題目可能會(huì)有些困惑，不知道考官指的是什么鏡子。其實(shí)這里也沒有必要去問考官他或她指的是家里那種大鏡子還是小鏡子，直接自己分成兩種情況去講就好啦。
語料：
hang… on the wall 掛在墻上
hang… in the bathroom 掛在浴室
be scared 害怕
horror films 恐怖片
all those years 這么多年來
avoid doing… 避免做……
范例：
Well, if you mean the baby ones for my make-ups and that, I always just stuff them in my handbag. But when it comes to the bigger mirrors, you know the ones you put in the house, I think I might prefer to have one on my bathroom wall or anywhere else except in my bedroom, cause I would be quite scared. You know, I’ve watched too many creepy horror films all those years.
4. Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?
思路：先回答yes，然后回答在很多商店都看到他們使用正面的鏡子，讓整個(gè)空間很大。所以自己也要在新的房子里安一個(gè)大鏡子顯得更寬敞。當(dāng)然大家也可以回答no，說自己家都不用鏡子。一般都在等公交車的時(shí)候?qū)χ囌九茩z查發(fā)型。
誤區(qū)：對(duì)，大家沒有看錯(cuò)，題目就是問鏡子是不是一個(gè)必須的裝飾物。其實(shí)可以嗒，大家想想很多商店都用鏡子讓整個(gè)店面顯得更大更寬敞，對(duì)不對(duì)。
語料：appear larger 顯得更大
look more spacious 看起來更寬敞
the size of… 和……一樣大
范例：
Well, they can be. I’ve seen a lot of shops using a massive mirror the size of a wall and surprisingly that does make the whole place appear twice larger. In fact, I might place some big ones in my new flat to make it look more spacious.
雅思口語話題：History
Do you like to learn about history?
Do you think history is important?
What historical event do you find most interesting?
Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
說到歷史，我們并不陌生，因?yàn)閹缀趺總€(gè)人從小就學(xué)習(xí)歷史。According to Wikipedia, History is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. 也就是說，歷史是對(duì)過去的研究，尤其是和人相關(guān)的研究。
歷史在人類社會(huì)的發(fā)展過程中，起到至關(guān)重要的作用。它告訴我們我們是誰，我們來自哪;它讓我們穿越時(shí)間和空間去思考過去發(fā)生了什么，我們從中能學(xué)到什么;它使我們更好的了解這個(gè)世界。The history plays a vital role in the development of society. It gives us an insight into who we are and where we come from; it helps us stretch our perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and what we can learn from the past; it provides us with a chance to understand the world.
1. Do you like to learn about history?
這是一道喜歡或者不喜歡類的題目，首先我們來學(xué)習(xí)一下表達(dá)‘喜歡’的語言，題目中的like可以替換成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜歡除了用dislike以外，還可以替換成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.
關(guān)于這道題，通常情況下，我們會(huì)回答喜歡，或者不喜歡。注意，答案盡量以Yes, I do.的形式出現(xiàn)，而不是單獨(dú)的yes。同時(shí)也可以替換成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表達(dá)。同樣，否定的答案，可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是，No, it’s not my kind of thing來代替。
若該題目的答案是喜歡，那么我們需要在表明傾向后加以解釋，通常是給出原因或例子。除了以上所講到的歷史的作用外，喜歡了解歷史的原因還可以是：The historical events are very interesting(歷史事件非常有趣);It can make us wise(使人明智)等。
若回答不喜歡，則也須講明原因，或者講明不喜歡的地方在哪。這里推薦給考生一個(gè)加分的表達(dá)：to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是說對(duì)某物或是某件事情既愛又恨。回想我們不喜歡歷史的原因，可能更多的是因?yàn)槲覀儾幌矚g以背誦為主的歷史考試，而非我們對(duì)歷史事件真的不感興趣。(I’m more interested in historical stories rather than in details of names, dates and places.)
范例1: Yes, very much so. I’d say history is my real love. You know, it’s easy for me to get lost while reading historical books or watching some documentaries. I find history very interesting, mainly because it helps me stretch my perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and how our ancestors experienced things.
范例2: Well, to be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with history, generally because I’m much into the stories and the insights it gives me into the past, but I’m really struggling in the history exams which are usually centered around dates, names and places.
2. Do you think history is important?
關(guān)于這道題目，相信我們大多數(shù)考生都會(huì)給出肯定的回答：歷史是重要的。其原因可以是以下幾點(diǎn)：
It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. (它使得人們了解文化，政治，經(jīng)濟(jì)，社會(huì)以及價(jià)值是如何發(fā)展的)
History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. (歷史不僅是關(guān)于過去，還關(guān)于過去如何導(dǎo)致了現(xiàn)在)
It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. (他告訴我們過去發(fā)生了什么，以幫助我們避免重復(fù)錯(cuò)誤)
范例：Yes, I think so. History not only deals with the past, but also with how the past led to the present. So it allows people to understand how culture, politics, society and values developed. More importantly, since it tells us what happened in the past, we could avoid repeating mistakes.
3. Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?
了解歷史的方式有很多，比如看電影，讀書，看紀(jì)錄片，參觀歷史景點(diǎn)，上歷史課等。(There are many ways to learn about history, such as watching films, reading books, watching documentaries, visiting historical sites, and attending history classes. )。至于哪一種才是了解歷史最好的方式(the best way to learn history)，每個(gè)人心中的答案各不相同。
這道題目是問，我們是否可以通過看電影或者電視節(jié)目這種方式來了解歷史。目前，我們的電影類型有很多，比如comedy(喜劇)，action movies(動(dòng)作片)，science fiction films(科幻片)，martial arts films(功夫片)，romance films(愛情片)，war movies(戰(zhàn)爭片)等等，至于電視節(jié)目，種類更是繁多，常見的有reality shows(真人秀)，talent search(選人才節(jié)目)，talk shows(談話類節(jié)目)，variety shows(文藝晚會(huì))，sitcoms(情景喜劇)等等。這些影片或者電視節(jié)目多多少少的涉及了一些歷史，然而它們的主要目的還是以娛樂和教育為主(entertaining and educational)，以講述歷史為目的還要屬documentaries(紀(jì)錄片)。
回到題目，這是一道是非疑問類的題目，我們的答案可以是肯定的，否定的或者不一定的。然而通過上面的分析，這道題目回答No或It depends可能更容易一些。原因可能是有些電影或是電視節(jié)目會(huì)根據(jù)劇情需要對(duì)歷史進(jìn)行改編(Some historical events might be rewritten by editors to satisfy the plot)，每部電影或者電視節(jié)目會(huì)站在各自不同的角度看待歷史，我們?nèi)菀资茈娪盎蚬?jié)目中人物和劇情的影響(They may show the history from different perspectives, so that we are easy to be influenced by the characters and plots.)，因此我們并不總是能夠從電影和電視節(jié)目中了解到歷史，然而記錄片除外，因?yàn)槠渖婕暗膬?nèi)容主要是歷史或科學(xué)(Documentaries mainly deal with history or science)。因此，從紀(jì)錄片中，我們比較容易了解真正的歷史。
范例：It depends. It depends on what the movie or program is. I mean, we usually watch some movies and TV programs in which some historical events are rewritten to satisfy the plots. In this case, I don’t think we can learn the real history. However, we may learn some from documentaries, which are particularly deal with historical issues or science.
4. Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?
同樣，這也是一道是非疑問類的題目，無論我們的答案是肯定的還是否定的，都需要有充分的支持。例如，這道題目你可以回答‘是’(Yes, I think so; Yes I guess so; Yes sort of)，然后在給出理由，可以是網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源充分，且免費(fèi)，查閱方便等等(give a convenient access to information on almost everything)。所以你經(jīng)常到什么樣的網(wǎng)站上去瀏覽什么樣的歷史知識(shí)。
除此之外，你還可以給出否定的答案(No, I don’t think so; No, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.)，然后給出原因，可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)信息并不總是可靠或者客觀(not always reliable or objective),也可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)當(dāng)中充斥著大量的誤導(dǎo)或虛假或歪曲的信息(be awash with some misleading or false or distorted information)，還有可能是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)上信息量過于龐大導(dǎo)致很難找到真正有用可靠的信息(With so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need)。因此我們應(yīng)當(dāng)慎重使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息(be careful in using the information on the internet)
范例1：Yes, I guess so. It’s mainly because the Internet gives us a convenient access to information on almost everything we need. So I usually go to some news and education websites to read some information about history or other things.
范例2: Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case, mainly because the stuff on the Internet is not always reliable or objective. You know, everyone can publish their own ideas on the websites so the Internet might be awash with a huge amount of misleading, false or distorted things. In addition, with so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need. So yeah, that’s basically why I suppose not.
