大家千万不要忘记,雅思口语Part 2的一个重要的元素是“describe”呀!言简意赅的讲故事习惯一定要改掉,这里不是考察大家概括文章大意,而是告诉考官,我有描述细节的能力。
Part 2有一道很经典的题目—Describe a time when you helped someone,下次如果你真的要描写“扶老奶奶过马路”,也要把前因后果描述清楚,这种事件类的话题比单纯的描述物品类话题简单多了!回忆一下小学时候学习的“记叙文六要素”(时间,地点,人物,事情的起因,经过,结果),按照顺序整起来吧:
This topic reminds me of the time I helped two strangers.
The other day, when I was walking on the street, two foreigners came up to me, asking for directions. They told me where they are from, but I’ve never heard of the country, so I couldn't remember the name exactly. Anyway, they explained they were travellers, and they got separated from their friends. What’s worse, both of their phones were dead, and they didn’t have any cash on them, but they were pretty sure their hotel was not far away, so they were wondering if I could give them some directions. Actually, I don’t have a very good sense of direction, but lucky for them, I happen to know that hotel, so I just showed them the way patiently. They didn’t speak much English, so I had a hard time explaining which way they should go. I even offered to walk them their, ‘cause I was afraid they could get lost again, but they didn’t want to put me to a lot of trouble. So in the end, I just drew them a ‘map’ on a napkin. Actually their hotel was quite easy to find, I guess, with my help, they could find their way back with no trouble at all.
