雅思Part 2的人物类,有一类人群是“名人”,有时候题目特别具体,比如考大家singer or band,comic actor或者sports star。有时候模糊到就考大家a famous person。
那最近的考试题目是你想见的新闻里的人物,归根到底,还可以变成是描述一位名人。这一季的题目里,还有一道是a person whose job is important to our society, 当然大家可以写感动中国十大人物,平民英雄什么的,不过既然之前准备过名人,为啥还要给自己增加负担嘞!
那么我们该选择哪位名人比较好呢!对社会重要的人,与每个人的生活息息相关的人,好吧很多孩子第一个想到的就是马云同志,而且最棒的是,他还有一段全英的视频,看!复习雅思考试,要眼观六路耳听八方,才会找到即学即用的素材!下面我们来看看部分的演讲稿:
“I’m Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba Group.
15 years ago, 18 founders in my apartment had a dream that someday we can build up a company that can serve millions of small business. Today, this remains our mission to make it easy to do business anywhere.
At Alibaba, we fight for the little guy, the small businessmen and women and their customers. Our role is simple, through our ecosystem, we help merchants and customers find each other and conduct business on their terms and in ways that best serve their unique needs. We help merchants to grow, create jobs and open new markets, in ways that were never before possible.
Today, 15 years passed. We’ve grown so significantly and have become a household name in China. And soon, we are ready for the world to know us.
You will hear details from our business later. But first let me take you on a journey around China, to see some of the real people, real stories that Alibaba has impact on.
I am proud to share with you these stories that show the heart and sprit of Alibaba.
I’m proud that we ignite innovation, create jobs, benefit customers and help entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams.
With Alibaba’s platforms, people are improving their lives today, and have hope for a better tomorrow. From our humble beginnings and throughout the past 15 years, Alibaba has changed commerce in China. Our business has grown, but we never lost sight of our customers, focusing on solving their problems, leads to the best outcome for our business.
Alibaba has come a long way, but we want to be a company that can last 102 years. We still have 87 years to go, and we believe one thing, today is difficult, tomorrow is more difficult, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful. So we have to work very hard in order to survive the long journey.”
结合上面的素材,我们就可以东拼四凑,整合一下他对各类人群的影响,就可以搞出一篇“有着重要工作的人”,如果前面后面再加几句对他的敬仰之情和想见到他的愿望,再强调一下他公司上市的新闻,就变成了“你想见的新闻里的人”。我们大概可以说成下面这个样子:
I’d like to talk about Jack Ma who’s the founder and chairman of Alibaba Group. 15 years ago, he had a dream that someday his group can build up a company that can serve millions of small business. And today, 15 years later, he made it. He changed commerce in China. Almost everyone here is using his online shopping websites. He helps merchants and customers find each other and make it easier to do business anywhere. Right now Taobao has become a household name in China, and not long ago, his company just went public, and they are ready for the world to know them.
His company has great impact on people’s lives. They ignite innovation, create jobs, benefit customers and help entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams. With Alibaba’s platform, people are improving their lives today.
For me, Taobao has been around for as long as I could remember. It kind of changed my lifestyle. There’s no need to go to the malls anymore. It’s time-saving and it seems like that everything is one click of the mouse away.
And I remember a talented artist living in a small town once said, without the Internet and Taobao, no one would know about her and her work. This company gave her hope, and changed her life dramatically.
Right now I couldn’t imagine a world without Alibaba, that’s why I think Jack Ma’s job is really important to our society.
所以名人讲的话,要仔细听,说不定什么时候就变成口语答案了!大家加油!
