资深的烤鸭们可能已经总结出了雅思口语Part 2的命题规律,那就是主语不变,各种变换形容词,比较典型的题目就是电影啦,电视节目啦,广告啦,网站啦之类的。今天就跟大家分享一下,如何用一个素材,来破三个话题:喜欢的电影,不喜欢的电影和印象深刻的广告。
首先要跟大家介绍一部电影《京城81号》。喜欢林心如的同志们,一定都看过对不对?(没看过的娃娃们请找度娘~)
我们先从电影入手,一般描写电影的套路,就是先介绍这是哪种类型的电影,还可以说说很多方面和细节,例如导演是谁(directed by),什么时候上映的(released in),是否是由小说或者真人真事改编的(adapted from),由谁主演的(star)等等。
无论是喜欢的电影还是不喜欢的,我们都可以用同样的开头:
I’d like to talk about a Chinese horror movie called Another World. It’s the first 3-dimensional movie/thriller I’ve ever seen in my life. I went to the movie theater with my friends when I was in the 9th grade.
首先,关于电影的出产国,如果题目让大家写一部foreign film,那么请大家果断的把Chinese换成Japanese。
然后,关于电影的名字,请大家千万不要纠结到底如何把《京城81号》翻译成英文,它不管叫啥,考官肯定都没听过,而且考官是不会纠结这个的,请大家放心。
再然后,关于电影类型,我们这里来补充一下horror movie是恐怖片,thriller是惊悚片,suspense movie是悬疑片,还有大家熟悉的science fiction科幻和fantasy movie魔幻片。
最后,关于大家的观影时间,如果以后考了什么小时候看的电影啦,最近看的电影啦,请大家自行把9th grade替换即可。
下面的一步,就是扣题,如果是喜欢的电影,请用下面这句话扣题:
… and I was deeply impressed by the special effect and the storyline. 自然引出电影剧情。
如果是不喜欢的电影,直接说:and I felt it was completely a waste of time. 熟悉雅思考题的娃们,还记得这也是一个话题对不对?(浪费时间的事儿)
再下面一步,就是简要介绍情节啦,而且这也是最占时间的一段,不过话唠同志们要注意控制自己,你只有两分钟…
It’s about a female writer who moved to a big old house, which belongs to her great grandfather. And ever since she moved in, she has suffered from nightmares almost every night. And there’s weird sound sometimes, like the rolling of the glass balls, and someone whispering. And the most thrilling part was, all her dreams were true, it was something happened in the past. Her great grandmother committed suicide in this house because of a tragic accident.
简要介绍情节之后,下面再次扣题,说一说为啥喜欢这部电影:
The special effect was so real, and the sound effect was impressive as well.
My favorite actor XXX stared in this movie, and her acting skill was unforgettable. The twisted face and the screaming mixed with the background music nearly scared me to death.
This movie really didn’t let me down.
当然,还有那种万能表扬套话,就是无论说哪部电影,都能用上的那种:
I’ve seen the movie a million times and it never gets old.
The story is excellent, the casting, plot, acting, lines and all the other aspects of the movie are superb.
The movie deeply touched me and became the best movie I’ve ever seen.
如果不喜欢呢,就针对喜欢的点,反着说,例如“五毛钱特效,毫无演技”啥的:
The special effect was so fake, and the background music was not proper at all.
The actors in the movie had no acting skills. Maybe that’s because of the lame plot which didn’t make any sense. They were just running around and screaming to the screen, which was not scary at all.
This movie really let me down, and it ruined my impression of 3-dimensional movies.
好了,现在再看看广告怎么编。开头我们需要变一下:
I’d like to talk about a TV commercial which is like a micro movie. I didn’t get what the product was until the end of it.
因为是通过电影素材套过来的,那么就得写微电影式的广告了嘛对吧。
之后情节照搬!
到结尾点题的时候,就要脑洞大开一下了:
For a moment, I really thought it was a movie, until the logo of the company showed up, and the subtitle goes like…
想写什么广告,就编什么类型的广告词:
“This is what happens in a haunted house when you don’t have insurance.”
(保险广告)
“This is what happens when you don’t choose your real estate agency mindfully.”
(房地产广告)
最后,再次点题:
Now I think about it, the idea of this commercial was really brilliant and hilarious. So t’s the most unforgettable ad I’ve ever seen.
希望大家可以通过上面的思路,想出一套自己的独特万能模板,轻松搞定雅思各种话题!同学们加油!
