秋高气爽!9月的雅思口语换题季如期而至,纵观前几场口语考试,冒出来的轮换题目又是换汤不换药,雅思老题新出、老题回归还是主流。这里针对一些轮换题目,给出一些可参考的素材,希望对大家有所帮助。
Describe a law about the environment you would like to see in the future.
You should say:
What this law would be about
How this law will take effect
Why it is important to have this law
And explain what changes will happen because of this law
这个环境题材的topic,如果让大家用中文讲,肯定毫无难度,从小到大的作文都写过“保护环境人人有责”,让大家脑洞大开的编造法律条款,更是a piece of cake. 不过里面的名词术语估计会难倒一大片孩子,那怎么破!让我们回忆一下之前考题中的素材,可不可以搬到这个题目中来!之前的旅游场景中,有一个a place near water,我们可以把海边的环境问题搞一搞对不对!于是答案就变成了:
I hope someday the government could implement/enforce a law which forbids people littering at tourist sites, especially on the beach.
The law should be like this, if someone is caught in the act of throwing away/dumping garbage at tourist sites, he or she would be seriously punished, like being put to prison for a month or fined a huge amount of money or sent away to do social service for a year. Actually I’m sure everyone knows that it’s not right to litter in public places, but right now all they get is a slap on the wrist, like a warning or something, so no one would take it seriously.
I believe this law is necessary because littering has an outrageously negative effect on our environment. Needless to say, the beauty and attraction of the sites are seriously damaged. The piles or scattering of garbage is truly an eyesore and can ruin everyone’s mood. And also, the trash is a safety hazard for creatures living in the coastal area. For example, if tourists throw away plastic bags into the ocean, they can pose a deadly threat to those marine animals like turtles or fish that would be trapped or choked to death. I’ve heard of lots of news about tragedies like these on TV and the Internet. And the pieces from broken glass bottles can easily cut people’s feet while tourists are walking on the beach barefoot.
If this law can really be enforced, I’m pretty positive that the environment around the tourist sites can be dramatically improved and people would definitely have a better travel experience.
当然,大家可以根据类似的思路进行改编,例如不允许海边烧烤等等。
我们再来看一个话题:
Describe a special festival in your culture/country.
You should say
When this festival is
Who you celebrate it with
What people do during this event
And explain why this festival is special
一说到中国的节日,第一个蹦到大部分的孩子脑袋里的肯定是“春节”对不!
The special Chinese Festival I’d like to talk to you about is the Spring Festival, AKA, the Chinese New Year, and I’m sure you have heard a lot about it, ‘cause in China, it’s the most important festival throughout the whole year, and it means a lot to our people.
It’s the first day of the year in lunar calendar, and the celebration usually lasts for 15 days. It’s my favorite period of time in a year. Everyone is ready to have fun, and the whole town is in festive mood. Children would set off firecrackers in the neighborhood, and there are firework displays almost every night. When I was little, my sister and I could eat countless palatable snacks, and the best part was, I didn’t have to worry about doing my homework, we called this the Spring Festival Privilege.
And I’m quite sure you’ve heard other candidates talk about the Spring Festival Gala, which is a big show on TV on every Chinese New Year’s Eve. Quite a few celebrities are invited to perform in the show. There are dancers, singers, magicians, standup comedians, and stuff like that, which is really entertaining and fascinating. And of course, the family reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, which is considered to be the heartiest dinner in the whole year for Chinese people. Everyone would come back from wherever they are to join this family get-together.
And now, what appeals to me the most is the 2-week-long vacation, ‘cause I’m too stressed out due to my intensive study every school year. As you can imagine, every year, before the Spring Festival comes, I just can’t wait to get into the party spirit and relax.
当然,这里面当然大家可以跟考官煽煽情,比如一年才能见到亲人一次啦,春节是我们五千年文化的传承啊,Blah blah blah…
最让同学们大吃一惊的应该是这道题了:
Describe a time you watched the sky
You should say:
When this happened
Who you were with
What you saw
And how you felt about watching the sky.
大家都惊呼:这道奇葩的“望天儿”话题,居然上位成了Part 2的题目!好吧,大家想想之前准备过的什么素材可以顺带着抬头看会儿天吧…想到了没?当然是旅游话题了呀!谁会在百忙之中不干活抬头卖呆儿对不对!于是,让我们躺在沙滩上,呆着墨镜,吹着海风,听着海浪,好好思考一下人生吧…… (具体想到了啥,请大家自由发挥吧!)
9月的轮话题,还有大家看着面熟的老题,比如:
Describe a useful thing that you once borrowed
You should say:
What you borrowed
Who lent this thing to you
What kinds of features this thing has
And explain why you think it is useful.
这里给大家一个参考思路,之前是不是写过something you do to keep fit?那我们可以不可以编这样一个故事:有位备考雅思的同学之前身体很弱,但是毕业一段时间后偶遇发现there’s something different about him,一问,原来是跟着某个视频教程(fitness tutorials)锻炼身体,体型也变得超级好!于是你就借来了!
所以,还是那句话,每次的雅思换题季,不管轮换题目多么让我们瞠目结舌,大家都可以找到对策,希望上面的素材和小贴士可以帮到大家,加油!
