Song作为雅思口语话题,在Part 1和Part 2都是经常露脸。之前考过童年时代听过的歌曲,对你有特殊意义的歌曲,你喜欢的歌曲等等。当然,这个歌到底存不存在,一点儿都不重要,如果大家是讲故事小能手,完全可以自由发挥!不过,用已有的歌曲,尤其是英文歌曲做素材,也可以为大家省去不少力气呢,下面就给大家推荐几首,特别适合作为该话题素材的英文歌:
1. Hey, Jude by The Beatles
这首歌是当年的Paul McCartney为John Lennon与前妻Cynthia的儿子Julian所创作的,以此来鼓励他积极乐观勇敢地面对现实(有关他daddy和小野洋子的故事,大家都知道的哦)。
大家可以从里面的一句lyrics入手:Take a sad song and make it better. 就是鼓励大家虽然情况很糟,不过我们也有能力可以make the best of it (to accept a bad or difficult situation and do as well as you can). 然后再瞎编一个自己当年低落的故事,Voila!搞定!
2. Three things by Jason Mraz
如果大家嫌上面一句歌词太少,占不了多少时间,这首歌就是你的最佳选择!因为它的第一句歌词是:There are three things I do when my life falls apart. 然后就开始娓娓道来了…… 然后在结合自己的经历,联系歌词,一个文艺范儿的答案就这么诞生了!下面把可能会用到的歌词部分分享给大家:
Number one, I cry my eyes out and dry up my heart
Not until I do this will my new life start
The second thing I do is I close both of my eyes
And say my “thank yous” to each and every moment of my life
Gathering new strength from sorrow
I’m glad to be alive
And things are looking up
I know above the clouds the sun is shining
Love is still the answer I’m relying on
The third thing that I do, now, when my world caves in
Is I pause, I take a breath and bow and I let the chapter end
I design my future bright, not by where my life has been
And I try, try, try, try, try again
I know beyond the dark the sun is rising
3. Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
如果你想提及自己分手(breakup)的经历,那这首歌简直再合适不过了!因为光看歌词就知道了:
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone.
4. Us against this world by Westlife
如果你正在热恋,而且还有那种像韩剧中男主女角有一方家长反对的剧情,这首歌就是为你准备的!它就是描写“不顾一切的爱”,跟考官介绍你的情史,他一定听得津津有味,谁不爱听故事呢不是么!
Sometimes I feel like the world is against me
The sound of your voice, baby
That's what saves me
When we’re together I feel so invincible
When I’m with you, I can feel so unbreakable
5. No love by Eminem
喜欢说唱歌曲的娃们,肯定听过阿姆是不!他的歌曲里,除了被beep掉的部分,有些地方说的特励志特有意境,比如No love这首歌,里面的那句Throw dirt on me and grow a wildflower. 大家可以理解成“你向我扔泥巴,我偏要在上面长出野花,气死你!”
6. Superheroes by The Script
这又是一首励志歌曲,如果你曾经在学校被那些bully欺负,或者有人质疑你的能力,嘲笑你的梦想,别犹豫了,这首歌就是唱给你听的!
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
当然,这些励志歌曲还有很多很多,平时各位烤鸭小伙伴们可以互相沟通,互通有无,共同进步嘛对不对!
