今天其实想以interesting photo为例,来给大家墨迹一下雅思口语Part 2的“拓展大法”。其实这个方法完全没有听起来那么炫酷,就是在大家原有的故事基础上,加一些有的没的但是跟主题相关的内容,来充实答案,其实最主要的终极目的,自然是占时间啦!我们在考场上要用各种手段向考官证明,老子有独白两分钟的能力!可以特溜的跟你想唠多久唠多久!
喜欢旅行拍照的孩子肯定不会被这个话题难倒。打开相册,貌似每张照片背后都可以讲一段有趣的故事。例如,曾经有位同学跟我们分享了她去Hi-tech体验馆的经历,相信大家肯定都熟悉馆里的静电球对不对!去过的小朋友们肯定都拍过“爆炸头”的照片!于是她的故事可以这么讲:
There is a photo of me that was taken in the “underwater world” in Dalian. It records an interesting and memorable experience.
In the picture, I was in a long black hoody, and I was wearing the hood. I was rubbing the static ball, and my hair got full of static. I saw the hair of a girl next to me standing up in spikes, which was really hilarious. I was wearing my hair loose that day, and I was afraid that my hair would “explode” just like that, so I put my hood on. The room was dark, and people could only see the rays of static, which was pretty magical. I reached out my hands to the static ball, which I remember was extremely hot. Just at that moment, my mom took the picture from my left side. So you can imagine, in the picture I was like a witch using my magic power on the crystal ball to predict what will happen.
故事的开始引入部分介绍了事情发生的地点,但是毕竟我们面对的考官是歪果仁,所以他们很有可能不太知道Dalian是个啥,所以为了让他们有个更明确的概念,我们可以在开头说的更清楚一些,例如:
There is a photo of me that was taken in the “underwater world”, which is kind of a science museum.
大家可能注意到我们这里把Dalian吃了,因为下一段我们可以用它来搞一段故事背景,起码能讲个20秒!
It was last summer vacation, my family and I took a trip to Dalian, which is a coastal city in the north of China. We had lots of fun on that trip, and we took countless pictures during that journey, but the picture I’m going to talk about is the most amusing one and it records an interesting and memorable experience.
说完了之后就可以正经讲故事了,此处注意,为了不扯远,我们一直在尽力扣题,例如提到了amusing,interesting等关键词。下面就开始进行主要的描述部分:
Like I said, we were visiting the science museum where there are various entertaining facilities, and this picture was taken in the “Static Section”. In the picture, I was in a long black hoody, and I was wearing the hood. I knew if I rub the static ball, my hair would get full of static. I saw the hair of a girl next to me standing up in spikes, which was really hilarious. I was wearing my hair loose that day, and I was afraid that my hair would “explode” just like that, so I put my hood on. The room was dark, and people could only see the rays of static, which was pretty magical. I reached out my hands to the static ball, which, by the way, was extremely hot. Anyway, my mom took the picture from my left side just at that moment. So you can imagine, in the picture I was like a witch using my magic power on the crystal ball to predict what will happen.
上面为了表达的顺畅,稍稍修改了某些地方,但基本的框架完全没有变。这样搞完之后,时间基本上就可以达到要求了。另外,如果想来个结尾点题的话,就可以用关于照片类的惯用俗套收尾,例如:
Every time I see this interesting picture, it would remind me of that relaxing trip when we had a real blast.
最后,希望大家可以用类似的方法,多加些情节和细节性描述,来完善我们的雅思口语素材,各位加油啦!
