雅思口语里关于我们的一个good personality,强烈建议大家找一个能对上雅思口语机经里其他题目的来讲,比如forgiving(对应别人跟你道歉,或者有一丢丢生气的经历),helpful(对应乐于助人的经历),generous(对应跟别人share某物的经历)等等。
Describe a character or personality of yours
You should say:What this personality is
When you found that you had this personality
What the benefits and drawbacks are, and explain whether you like this personality or not
不过乐于助人我个人感觉跟雅思口语最好套,所以我们来尝试一下:
第一段可以自然引入:
Well, I don’t want to brag, but my friends usually call me a willing helper ‘cause I’m always willing to lend others a hand, even though sometimes it can cause myself a lot of trouble.
或者更直接一点儿:
My friends always think of me as a warm-hearted and helpful person.
下面的思路可以是这样的:
How you got this personality?
One example to proof that you have this personality.
How you benefit from this personality?
我们挨个来看在雅思口语中如何说:
有关“是如何获得这个性格特点的”,最常用的、最好说的就是“家教好父母遗传”呗:
I guess I got that personality from my parents who have set a really good example to me. They always say that a simple act of kindness can create a ripple that comes back to me. Actually, I don’t have a purpose when I do others a favor. It just feels great knowing that I could be of some help.
下面开始举例子。这个助人为乐的例子可以有很多,不过“扶老奶奶过马路”这个就不要说了吧,除非咱们的功底很好,能把这么一件简单的事情说的很生动,否则还是选择一些有点儿“情节”的来讲吧,毕竟我们还是要凑时间的。同学有难啦,帮邻居babysit啦,都是可供选择的题材,咱们先来个发生频率稍大一些的但是特别像小学政治课文的:帮助住院同学补习功课。
One of my friends broke his leg in a basketball match, and he was hospitalized for a week, during which time he missed a whole bunch of classes. The worst part was, the final examination was just around the corner. I was really concerned about him. So after he was discharged from the hospital, I would go to his place and bring my note to him everyday after school. And I had to pay extra attention during class because I needed to repeat what I’d learned to my friend. So you see, back then I was like his personal tutor, and because of my help, he wasn’t left behind that much.
接下来就是你的性格特点给你带来的benefits啦:
I suppose I’ve benefit a lot from this personality. I have a great interpersonal relationship at school, and whenever I’m in trouble, my friends are all willing to help me out. That’s why I think being helpful is really a good personality of mine.
除了帮助同学,我们还可以有其他乐于助人的例子,例如“帮助患有阿尔茨海默症的老人找到家人”,“帮助迷路的小女孩儿回家”,“帮助邻居空槽老人安装Wi-Fi”等等。
下面是帮助老人的片段,供大家参考:
One day, on my way home after school, I saw an old lady standing at the corner of the street, looking worried. She constantly looked around, which seemed like she was looking for something. I thought she lost her stuff, so I came up to her, you know, to see if I could help. But it turned out she was lost, I mean, she couldn’t find her way home, and the worst part was, she couldn’t even remember her home address. I realized she must be one of those senior citizens who have got the Alzheimer’s disease. So I tried to find the yellow wristband, which is something the government give out to those patients with their relative’s contact number on it. But unfortunately, she wasn’t wearing one. I called the police, and they took her to the police station. So I left knowing that she was in good hands. I’m sure the policeman would help her find her family.
