發朋友圈是send a friend circle?雅思口語現場這樣說就尷尬了
瀏覽量:170次
在雅思口語考試中,關于科技產品的話題是經常遇到的,比如智能手機。在之前的口語題庫中,就出現了一道題,要介紹手機應用軟件。
話題如下:
Vol.1
Describe an application you often use on your phone or computer.
You should say:
What it is
When you started to use it
Why you often use it
And explain how you feel about it
一般人聽到這個題目,第一反應就會介紹現在最常用的幾款社交軟件——包括微信、微博、抖音等等。再具體一點還會描述利用這些手機軟件做些什么,有什么功能,你對這款軟件感受如何等等。
但是!因為這些軟件平時都是用中文看的,如果用英文表達,很多烤鴨就會開始冒出一些中式表達。比如,微信的英文直接表述成“weixin”,發朋友圈直接表述成“send a friend circle”,“有人@你”直接表述成“someone at you”。。。
還有一些烤鴨會卡在一些翻譯不過來的中文表達。比如,你知道“刷抖音”、“刷微博”用英語怎么表達嗎?你知道“點贊”怎么表達嗎?
下面小編就先給大家來一波當代年輕人必備的,手機常用軟件的相關英語表達!
微信
微信應該是最多人提及的應用軟件,因為適用人群最廣,使用時間也最長。

當然,在介紹一款手機應用軟件時,上述三個是比較常見的答案。但你換位思考一下,考官每天面試那么多人,大部分考生回答的可能都是類似的答案,雖然只要表達沒錯,分數也不會給得太低。
但是如果你能跳出框架,介紹手機上的其他一些軟件。比如女生最愛用的美圖秀秀(Meitu),大家聽音樂常用的網易云(NetEase Music),旅游常用的攜程(Ctrip)等等,都可以積累他們相關的表達,還可以和音樂、旅游等相關話題聯系起來,這樣的回答更容易讓考官眼前一亮~
接下來,又是一波雅思口語難題解析環節啦,真題/新題/難題,撞到這些標簽題應該是直接要原地爆炸啦!
首先答題原則repeat 3遍,part1每一題盡量達到3句話的回答,part2部分則盡量滿足2分鐘的回答上限時間,記住一個原則:被打斷不是壞事,內容過少必然要扣分。
話雖如此,難點話題中文都說不出來幾句話,何況是英文呢!
譬如5月新題季part1難題Special costumes就是一道讓人頭皮發緊的題,細看小題:
Special costumes:
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
3. When was your last time to wear special costumes?
4. Do you buy special costumes?
回答這些喜好題時盡量遵循本心,但是不要一位NO,NO,NO,毫無有效信息輸出,再不喜歡或者沒有相關經驗仍然可以給出具體的理由或者對比等信息來拓展語言輸出!
首先話題關鍵詞整理一波:
dressing style
穿衣風格
dressing code
穿衣禮節
be passionate about…
喜歡
traditional costumes
傳統服飾
costume party
化妝晚會
school annual party
學校年會
school show
學校表演
make a grand appearance
隆重出場
handcrafts
手工藝
cost-efficient
性價比高的
好詞的運用提高單詞難度以及回答思路的拓展。以下的參考答案大家可以模仿和復述學習啊!
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?
As far as I'm concerned, I haven't met many chances to put on special costumes,cause at school/work, we have strict dressing code for what to wear and what not to.
But I am quite interested in special costumes, especially like those from Han or Tang dynasty for the reason that they are so unique and delicate.
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
It’s been ages ago. The time I wore a costume when I was a kid was for our school annual party where I signed up for a school show and had to wear a stage costume which was a knee-length evening gown( tuxedo for men) to suit the occasion.
3.When was your last time to wear special costumes?
Last time when my friend organized a Halloween costume party at his place and I was invited to the party and worn a zombie costume to suit the theme of the night and it was a good look that night because I got to scare a few people at the party, which was hilarious.
4. Do you buy special costumes?
Well, personally I tend to rent them from a costume store, because costumes are often very pricey due to their design and delicate material and complicated making process, which usually involves handcrafts. Renting is more cost-efficient in comparison.
Part2部分來看一道題,難解程度史無前例:
Describe an art or craft activity (eg: painting, woodwork ,etc) that you had (at school)
You should say:
What you madeHow you made itWhat it was likeAnd explain how you felt about the activity
就算你是art或者craft忠粉,英語想要數清楚還是得去找維基百科啦!不過思路選的巧,話題難不倒!
接下來分享一個簡單思路來攻克這道題:
關鍵詞:
celebrate慶祝
Mother's Day card母親節卡片
hand-made gift手工禮物
cut out some nice patterns from our picture book從圖片書中裁圖案
color them with crayons用蠟筆涂色
glue粘上
stickers小貼紙
sprinkle glitters灑金粉
write our best wishes寫祝福
express my gratitude表達感謝
sign our name署名
draw little hearts畫上小心心
send it to my mom送給媽媽
Actually, how I grew up when I was little, our school didn't really offer lots of craft activities in class.
But there was one time, on mother's day, in order to celebrate this special day, our class held this special craft activity about making some hand-made gifts to send them to our moms.
So our drawing teacher was there to help us. First of all, what we needed to do was cut out some nice patterns from our picture book, like little flowers or trees or clouds.
And then we just colored them with our crayons to make them look colorful and pretty. Later we glued those patterns onto the face of the card, after that, we were given some stickers like some cute little smiling faces to decorate the card.
As the final touch we were taught to sprinkle some glitters on the card to make them look shiny and pretty.
After the card was made,the teacher guided us to write down our best wishes to our moms to express our gratitude as well as wish them a happy mother's day.
At the end we all signed our names at the bottom of the card and drew some little hearts besides.So it was actually very memorable activity cause I still remember how my mom reacted that day when I gave her the card.
She was really surprised and kissed me on the cheek. It was really some special and precious experience for me.
