1、雅思口语:传统节日串串烧朗阁海外考试研究中心 经常听到考生们抱怨:雅思口语考题变化莫测,无从下手。但以笔者在雅思培训界从业多年的经验来看,目前雅思口语考试题库的题目已经达到了“饱和”状态;换言之,题目从形式上可能会继续“推陈出新” ,但其核心内容依旧是“换汤不换药” 。那么,如何应对口语话题的变化呢?朗阁海外考试研究中心分析认为答案很简单,充分利用“多米诺骨牌”口语学习法。在茫茫题海中,对每个话题一一准备是不现实的。即使可以,也会浪费考生大量的时间和精力,最后没有一个话题是自己准备完整的。最关键的是,考试的时候,在紧张的状况下,面对金发碧眼的考官,常会出现大脑空白,把以前准备的内容全部忘光的情
2、况。那么,怎样才能避免这种悲剧上演呢?只有把相关题目的思路融会贯通,也就是一个思路可供不同题目使用。就像我们小时候玩的多米诺骨牌一样,不同的话题即不同的骨牌,有机地把它们放到一起,排好,一旦我们有一个好的思路,攻克其中的一个话题,如同把一个骨牌推倒,随之系列话题,都会随即倒下。例如:A festival = A happy family event= An unforgettable event= A traditional event you attended= One favorite meal= A happy experience。雅思口语考试中很少直接问到关于“传统” (tradit

4、了。至于传统类话题的深度,可以说是不言而喻的没有一定的词汇根底、没有驾驭复杂句型的能力、缺乏对社会现状的思考,这样的考生是很难把该话题说好的,不少人甚至都没有想到传统竟然可以作为一种有效的答题思路。下面朗阁海外考试研究中心口语组的专家将针对考生备考需要,提供口试第一阶段的口语素材、真题实例及参考答案。传统节日“串串烧”【Question 1】: Do you often celebrate festivals in your culture/country? 分析: 考生需回答“是”或“不是”,然后给出一个简短的主要节日介绍,并介绍该节日的意义和庆祝日期。Answer yes or no an
