本文为口语和写作篇

口语篇

Part1

Topic : Study

首先大多数考生都是以学生的身份参加考试,所以study这个话题是在所难免的。开篇可能会问到:

Do you work or study?

对于这个问题大多数学生只有一句:“I am a student.”或者“I'm studying.” 这样的表述虽然回答了问题,但是却难以展示语言水平。这也是大多考生的通病,太过于聚焦问题本身而忽视了做相关的拓展。

所以我们要先明确part 1 的答题整理结构是怎样的:

1. answer the question (给出回答)

2. expansion (做出拓展)

步大家都可以做到,给出明确的答案“我现在还在上学”。那么拓展可以从哪些方面展开呢?可以包括:features,examples,details,experience等。这道题除了告诉考官“I am a student” 还可以补充道:在哪里上学,所学专业是什么,现在处于几年级,以及你对于现在学习生活的感受是什么。

例如:

I am a student in Nanjing University and now I’m in the sophomore year.

*大一:first year/ i am a freshman; 大二:second year/ sophomore; 大三:Junior year; 大四:senior year

I'm a student now and major in business, which is not easy but really interesting.

接下来可能还会专门问到你所学的专业:

What’s your major?/what subjects are you studying?

这个时候很多同学只会把专业的名字:一两个词语甩给考官。试问你的回答还没有考官问题长让考官如何评价你的口语水平呢?这个时候可以补充你的专业Features or details。

E.g.1:My major is/ I am major in business. It’s really interesting because we can learn lot’s of knowledge in various fields, including marketing, finance and economics.

E.g. 2: My major is Human resources which is interesting and indeed, however (however 也可放在句中要转折的信息前以表强调), a tough task that has endless deadlines at the end of each semester.

除此之外也可以把所学专业和将来的职业规划结合起来:

I am studying law because it’s a really promising major and I’m hoping to pursue it as a career in the future.

Topic: Haircut

本季一个令人头疼的“做头发”问题相信难倒了很多同学,其实只要同学们用心留意生活就不难找出思路。首先我们可以积累一些Tony老师们的拿手绝活:

女生发型:

curly 小卷,

wavy 大波浪

straight 直发,

braid  辫子

shoulder-length,齐肩发

fringe/bang 刘海儿,

side-parted / middle-parted偏分/中分

男生发型:

crew cut 平头

Bowl cut 锅盖头

Spiky hair刺头

Mohawk [ˈməʊhɔːk] 鸡冠头(莫西干发型)

另外请注意:

 理发店千万不要说hair shop, 而是barber’s /barber shop

“我昨天去剪头发了”不是 “I cut my hair yesterday”,这表示你亲自操刀了却了三千烦恼.而是:“I got my hair cut yesterday. / I got a haircut yesterday.”

Tony, Kevin们的真实身份是 barber/hairstylist/ hairdresser

其中有道问题说: Have you ever had an unhappy haircut experience?

首先我们注意这道题是以一般疑问句形式提问,我们除了以yes或no回答外还可以用其他开场白方式来回答。

Yes:

直接使用表肯定的副词。如:definitely;absolutely;certainly。

   短语:without a doubt; of course

   简短句子:

I’m pretty sure. 

I believe so.

I supposed I have. 

I would say / have to say yes

No:

I doubt it.

Not really. 

此外上述yes的用法都可改成否定态度。

P.S.:不要在一场考试中重复同一个用法太多次。具体的主语和时态要根据问题灵活变化。

相信大家其实都有相关经历:千叮万嘱修一修,剪完一看变一修。稍不留意发型师们就让我们秒变杀马特,所以回答时我们可以把上述一些你不喜欢的另类发型名称用上。

I have to say yes. Once upon a time, I told the hairdresser exactly what I wanted my haircut to be, you know, the common crew cut. But the result is that I had to keep a Mohawk hairstyle for almost 2 weeks.

如果没有不愉快经历也不能单单说no就万事大吉,要讲出相关原因。这个时候生命中有一个靠谱的Tony老师就十分重要了。

Well,i don't think i had such experience. Because I know a barber who is really qualified and reliable, which means I have always been satisfied with his haircut skill.

Topic: Jeans

牛仔裤相信大家肯定人手一条,所以有道题问我们: Why jeans are so popular?

一般对于物品类的话题我们要清楚从哪些角度进行描述: color,material, size, age, function, meaning or memory.

一件衣服如果被人们广泛接受,也许是因为材料舒适,易于搭配,耐穿耐脏,价格可接受等原因。所以我们可以先来总结一下jeans的优点有哪些:

Material:jeans are made from Denim, essentially, which is just cotton. 丹宁布是做牛仔裤的专用面料,本质上就是棉。

Color:indigo. 靛蓝色,也就是dark blue,是牛仔的专用颜色。

Price:affordable for most people, even students. 价格对于学生来说也可接受。

Style: easy-matching 百搭; creative and unique design in some fashionable brands. 有些潮牌的设计很有创意,很独特。

但有些同学并不喜欢穿jeans,那我们可以总结一下jeans的缺点有哪些:

Too skinny to do sports: 太紧了不适合做体育运动

Hindering blood circulation 甚至紧到阻碍血液循环

Too casual to attend some formal occasions 特别正式的场合穿牛仔裤就不合适了。

这些语料不仅仅可以回答这道题目,类似于“Do you like jeans?” “Is it popular to wear jeans in your country?”,“Do you often wear jeans?” 等题目也可以使用。

E.g.1 : Definitely I like wearing jeans. You know, jeans are made from denim, essentially, which is just cotton. It is really comfortable and durable enough for wearing and tearing every day.

E.g.2: To be honest, I have to say I’m not really into jeans. Because some of jeans are too skinny to do sport exercise. Since I am a basketball lover (篮球爱好者),jeans might not a proper choice for me.

Topic : Hometown

Hometown 这个经久不衰的话题本月考频热度依旧未见。虽然看似是个老生常谈的内容,但想要答的出彩也需要策略。

Where is your hometown?/Where are you from?

此类问题最忌讳的就是一个地名抛出去结束了回答。一定要记住做一定的expansion。我们可以根据家乡的地方特点来做一定的补充。

如果家乡是一二线大城市,那么我们可以来总结一下the features of big cities.

优点:Vibrant; modern, prosperous,cosmopolitan, hustling and bustling, full of hustle and bustle,advanced public amenities (such as shopping malls, cinemas, bars, hospitals,schools...), various transportation, many high-rise skyscrapers ....

缺点:congested traffic condition, over populated, fast pace and heavy burden of life....

如果是小城市或者小村庄呢?

优点:peaceful and quiet,carefree and joyous lifestyle, idyllic scenery, closed to nature...

缺点: inconvenient transportation, far away from city centre and public amenities, cramped streets,lack of job opportunities....

E.g.1  My hometown is XXX, which is a prosperous big city with plenty of high-rise skyscrapers. But sometimes I also felt it’s indeed over-populated.

E.g. I come from a small village named XXX. I really enjoy the idyllic view there which provides us a carefree and joyous lifestyle.

有时考官还会根据hometown这个基本话题提出相关延伸问题。例如:

Will you still live there in the future?

In what ways has your town or city changed since you were a child?

类似话题我们依旧可以根据尚上述分析的家乡特点来进行思考。

E.g. 1 Well, to be honest, I am not willing to stay at this small town after graduating. It too isolated that the traffic is too inconvenient, which means if I need to see a doctor, it would take me almost 1 hour drive to the city hospitals.

E.g. 2 I have noticed that the number of the population in my city has increased dramatically. That has been reflected in the frequent traffic jams especially during peak time.

Part 2

根据不同考点的考生回忆,本月的高频part2考题很丰富多样。下面为大家总结了几个11月份不同类型的part 2 的题目。

People 人物类

Describe a person who is good at his or her job

You should say:

Who this person is

What his or her job is

How he or she likes the job

And explain why this person is good at the job

这道题目将people和work两个话题结合了起来。我们可以首先从人物入手。人物类可以从appearance 和personality两个角度展开。很显然,本题的构思重点可以落脚在personality上,描述一下人物对于这门工作反应了哪些人物性格,即人物对待工作有哪些积极态度。例如,responsible,patient,diligent等。或者可以侧重点放在人物是如何在工作上experienced and qualified。无论从什么角度分析,一定要结合具体事例来进行说明。这也是人物类话题中需要注意的一点:一定将人物和事件的描述相结合,才能使我们的内容充实。

例如下面这个sample

My mother is a lawyer which is a so stressful and time-consuming job. Her customers are always some managers from different kinds of companies. They turn to her to consult all kinds of legal questions. Sometimes she helps them interpret laws and regulations, gathering evidence to formulate defense and initiate legal actions (什么样的工作以及大概的工作内容主要有哪些).

She is a really diligent eager beaver(工作积极主动的人), which means she often gets home late, totally exhausted. Sometimes, she even forgets to have dinner and burn the midnight oil for work (熬夜加班) until 11 o’clock at night. My father always asks her to change her job or just be a housewife, but she never agrees with the suggestion(平时的工作状态表明了diligent). She loves performing legal research, drafting legal documents and following up after a court decision. Therefore, I know she would never give up her job, however difficult and tiring it may be.

Being a lawyer is never easy. When I wake up and go to the bathroom at midnight, the light in the study is always on. She always treat her work carefully and seriously so that she has to read many documents and a lot of previous cases just to make sure she isn't refuted in court. I still remember last month she was very anxious because the client refused to provide all the detailed information for the sake of privacy. Then my mother spent half a month persuading him into trusting her (具体的一个事例来说明工作态度的carefully and seriously).

This year, she was awarded as one of the best lawyers in her firm. I think she deserves that considering she has always been so devoted to her job (在工作中取得的成就). She also sets a very good example for me and I have learned the precious spirit of work ethic from her (对我的影响).

此外,这里给大家推荐一些关于work话题比较好的表达

A sense of fulfillment and achievement 成就感

Excessive workload 过量的工作负担

A stressful and time-consuming job  压力大且耗时间的工作

Work under enormous stress 在巨大的压力下工作

Backbreaking/ laborious task 很艰巨的任务

A demanding job 要求很严的工作

Work ethic 敬业精神

Be well-staffed 员工素质高的

Be an eager beaver 工作积极主动的人

Work around the clock 毫不停歇地工作

Be tired up at work 忙于工作无暇估计其他事

Media 媒体类

媒体类的话题无外乎是TV-programs,movies,advertisement,songs等。本月考官们似乎对电影话题重燃旧情。“A movie you would like to share with your friends” 多次出现在考生回忆中。

Describe a film you would like to share with your friends

You should say:

Where you watched it

What it was about

Who you watched it with

How you felt about it

And why you want to share it with friends

关于电影的描述主要可以分为三部分

电影的大概信息:actors/ director/ type/...

电影内容梗概

你对整个电影或某个片段的深刻感触

如果能把这个电影的内含思想和自己的生活结合起来将会更加生动。例如以下Sample:

“You have a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. ” (以经典台词作为开场白既引起考官兴趣,也显示语言功底)

I believe you’ve heard this sentence. Yes, it’s a famous line from the American film The Pursuit of Happiness which is directed by a renowned director Gabriele Muccino. And the leading role stars (由。。担任主演) my favorite actor,Will Smith(电影基本信息) . It about a struggling(拼命) father who encouraged his little kid to be brave and not to give up when faced with predicaments (电影内容梗概).

 When I was at high school, my teacher played the film for us in class one day. I was under excessive pressure(压力大) at the time as I wasn’t performing well in my exams. My parents were worried about my study and my mental health. This movie was important because it became the symbol for most of my classmates including me. I gathered up courage and tried much harder. I kept telling myself that I ought to protect my dreams. This movie touched the bottom of my heart,(直击心灵) and I felt deeply moved and motivated (在生活中的鼓舞).

In addition, it was also fantastic in improving my oral English. I used to read the lines over and over again, and surprisingly I found my pronunciation improved after time (在学习上的帮助). So now I’m willing to recommend it to my friends, and hope it will be useful for them too.

Object 物品类

本月“喜欢穿等衣服” 这一话题又多次出现在很多考生的视线中。

Describe a piece of clothing you enjoy wearing

You should say

What it looks like

When do you wear it

Where did you buy it

And explain why you like it

衣物类的题目不算新话题,但关于对衣物的描述很多同学们除了对衣服的名称和在哪里买到之外,很难再有其他方面的内容展开。此题属于对物品类话题的考察。我们首先可以再次回顾一下关于物品可以从哪些方面进行描述。Color,material, size, age, function, meaning 都可以是很好的发散方向。其中,关于颜色的描述,我们除了可以使用常见的赤橙黄绿青蓝紫之外,可以关注一下Pantone公司每年推出的流行色,例如:serenity(静谧蓝),ginger yellow(姜黄色)chili pepper(辣椒红),peach pink(蜜桃粉),Galaxy blue(银河蓝),greenery(草木绿),living coral(活力珊瑚,2019年度色)...这些颜色既可以展示我们的知识面,又增添了内容的趣味性。如果大家担心考官不了解这些时髦颜色,我们可以在叙述中以定语从句的方式加以解释,例如,This skirt is serenity which is a kind of blue was produced by Pantone Incorporated. 此外关于物品的meaning也是可以浓墨重彩来展开的方面。如果是别人送的礼物,代表了什么含义,表达了什么情感,甚至可以当作一个事件来叙述。

回到衣物话题本身,首先对于衣物的面料、设计和品牌可以进行细致的描述。如果是be made of cotton, 可以说穿起来soft and warm,如果是silver,可以说smooth and cool。设计如果很又个性我们可以说the design is trendy and stylish,如果很日常我们也可以用easy-matching(百搭)来形容。如果你对这件衣物对品牌很了解也可以简单介绍一下这个牌子的信息。此外,穿这件衣服的场合也是值得一提的方向,甚至可以将这个场合当作事件来展开,比如为了毕业典礼妈妈特地送我一件luxurious gown,在那天我作为学生代表发言,大放异彩。

Sample:

My favorite piece of clothing is a casual jeans jacket. It is a short button downed jacket(扣扣子的夹克) that comes in light denim (丹宁布,牛仔专用面料) blue. The jacket is designed in the trendy style, with two invisible pockets on the sides. (颜色和设计)

It fits me through the shoulders and hits at the hip(长度刚好及臀) when I wear it. I bought the jeans jacket a year ago online from Forever21,which is a famous brand and popular among young generation (品牌信息). I was shopping for workout clothes when I encountered the jacket on sale. It turned out to be my favorite piece of clothing that I own. I always wear this jacket in spring and early autumn, when the weather is not terribly chilly. I can wear it in the daytime when I go to classes and also during nighttime when I hang out with friends.

The primary reason I love the jacket is that it fits me perfectly, it seems like specially tailored for me(量身定制) and all my friends say I look sharp(样子时髦帅气) dressing in it. Also, the jacket is not too heavy or lightweight, even on a warm summer day, I can tie it around my waist when the temperature is higher and put it on at night when it gets chilly. Last but not least, the jacket is of good quality, unlike other hard denim fabrics, the material feels soft and comfortable. I’ve been wearing this jacket for almost a year and it still looks just as new as when I bought it.

本月的部分高频考题就先为大家介绍到这里,大家可以参考给出的相关sample,但是更重要的是学习相关类型话题的思考方向和答题思路,只有学到其核心内容才能对任何问题应对自如。

写作篇

在11月中国大陆考区的考试中,小作文柱图最为高频,大作文儿童教育和成长话题则成为重点。

小作文部分

柱图和表格对象数据多,较为复杂,许多考生难以抓住重点信息从而导致单纯地罗列数据。如遇无时间的表格,会发现能用的表达只有比较类的语言,不像含时间图的表达多样。所以建议多看多抄写多分析数据较多的表格题体会其数据分组和数据报告的思路,以及积累相关的表达。

大作文部分

大作文部分出现了旧题重考,比如11月23日考的就是2015年7月的题目,即Some people think in modern age it is unnecessary to teach children the skill of handwriting. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 所以在此建议大家复习大作文的过程中可以多去看看近5年的考题,多做审题的练习然后对照范文体会论证思路和逻辑。

12月点题预测


Task 1

11月考情回顾

表格 柱图较多

12月 非数据图 警惕流程图和地图出现

数据图 线图和饼图 作为复习的重点

1. 明星vs历史人物Many young people today know more about international pop or movie stars than about famous people in the history of their own country.

Why is this?

What can be done to increase young people’s interest in the famous people in the history of their country?

理由Reasons:

1. 学历史为了考试

Due to the test-based education system in most countries, students are only taught to get good grades and as a result, they only focus on passing their exams rather than gaining knowledge about any topic. Their interest is never developed in history and heroes of our past.

2. 大众传媒的影响

the youth today is more fascinated towards the celebrities because of the excessive exposure that the media give to them.

3. 父母教育忽视对于历史的教育

parents are busy with their work so their children’s education about their roots and history has taken a back seat.

解决方案solutions:

1. 组织教育活动Educational trips to museums and famous historical places help develop the children’s interest.

2. 政府补贴门票The government should encourage children to visit museums by subsidizing tickets for the students.

3. 电视电影可以多涉及历史人物的主题TV shows and movies can be made around famous historical personalities and their contributions.

2. 太空探索The spending on the development of technology of space exploration is not justifiable. They believe there are many beneficial ways to spend these money. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

p2: 让步+反驳

Admittedly, it seems that space exploration does not offer direct benefits to ordinary people and costs an enormous amount of money.

However, space exploration benefits us in various indirect ways. More specifically, space exploration gives impetus to a series of research projects, which has brought huge convenience to many aspects of our lives. The advanced technology of telecommunication and GPS are two representative examples of its contribution. In addition, compared to other areas of government spending, the cost of space exploration simply is not ridiculously high. For instance, in a year, the US government only spent 25 million dollars to produce space vehicles, while the US spending in Iraq was much higher than this figure.

P3: 支持确实还有其他有益的方式去花这些钱

On the other hand, there are many other urgent projects that require investment. If governments spent less money on space research, then they would be able to help people solve some of these problems such as population control, elimination of diseases like cholera, global warming and food shortages. It seems to me that all of these issues are more important because they affect the lives of millions of ordinary people. 

结论:I think that the prerequisite of exploring the space is that the life quality of human beings will not be affected. Therefore, governments should prioritize more urgent problems of human beings rather than space exploration.

3. 分班Some people believe that schools should choose their students according to their abilities.While other people think students with different abilities should learn together. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

一方:Mixed ability classes provide a better environment for children’s all-round development.

Children with different abilities study together and in turn they can learn from one another. 

For example, a student, who is good at academic study but weak in dancing or painting, can learn how to dance or paint from his peers. In this sense, mixed-ability classes allow students to develop their abilities in different subjects instead of only academic abilities.

另一方:Streaming 按能力分组 brings some benefits to teachers and students.

As for teachers, separating children with better academic abilities from others facilitates effective teaching. 

in a class, if students have a similar level of academic ability, in turn teachers will be able to use the same methodologies for them.

Streaming enables students to learn in an effective way. 

结论:中立

Both sides are justified and consequently it is hard to come to a consensus. To my mind, deciding whether to conduct streaming in a school depends on the specific situation of it.

4. 男女分工In many countries, more and more men are staying at home to look after their children when women work full-time.

What are the reasons?

Is it a positive or negative development? 

Reasons

1. Increasing number of opportunities for women, lesser gender bias and willingness of men to stay at home have all contributed to this.

2. More women are career-oriented and are financially capable of taking care of the family without any contribution from the husband or partner.

特殊性:消极点很难说(容易有性别歧视的风险)

In my opinion, this trend has more positive outcomes and should be treated as a progress. If both genders do not cooperate and do not get the equal opportunity, the real progress would be impossible. This ensures that we live in an era when both men and women have an equal opportunity and someone is not deprived of a great career or a big opportunity only because of gender. Meanwhile, it is a great chance that allows the parents to decide who to earn money for the family and who to take care of the family without the need of considering the social and traditional belief.

5. 城乡差距A rise in the standard of living in a country often seems to only benefit cities rather than rural areas.

What problems might this difference cause?

How might these problems be reduced?

Problems:

Hundreds of millions of rural people in Chinese keep moving to cities, pushing up rents and food price in urban areas.

In rural areas of China, many children are left behind by their parents, who migrate to big cities. As a result, these children, who lack sufficient love from their parents, are more likely to have some psychological problems, which may be detrimental to their growth.

Students in big cities can enjoy the high-quality educational resources, which rural children can hardly obtain. Hence, their gap will enlarge inevitably.

Solutions:

More voluntary teachers should be encouraged to assist the rural education.

The government is obliged to balance the development of cities and rural areas by investing more money in the public services such as schools and hospitals and providing more job opportunities in rural areas.

Agricultural tourism can be developed to bring more income for the rural population.

6. 建筑保护Too much money is spent on looking after and repairing old buildings. Some people think money should be spent on building new modern buildings. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

让步+反驳

It is undeniable that nowadays, maintaining old buildings needs a large amount of money, and those old buildings which are neither beautiful nor useful, should be demolished. However, preserving certain old buildings is important for several reasons. Firstly, these structures provide an insight into the history of our countries, showing us how people many centuries ago lived their lives . Secondly, ancient buildings are often attractive to tourists so they can generate a lot of revenue for the places where they visit. 

支持

Those who advocate that people should build more modern buildings, think that this can bring benefits to our lives. To begin with, compared with old buildings, newer buildings have more scientific structure and layout so they can accommodate more people and have various functions. In addition, modern buildings enable more advanced equipment to be installed, improving people’s quality of life. Moreover, some of modern buildings are made of environmentally-friendly material and even can take advantage of solar energy and rainfall, which is beneficial to environment protection.

结论: I think that governments should still spare no efforts to preserve the precious old buildings with historical, cultural and aesthetic value. As for some useless old buildings, people should use modern ones to replace them.

7.  水资源Some people think they have the right to use as much fresh water as they want, while others believe governments should strictly control the use of fresh water as it is a limited resource. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

一方:让步+反驳

Admittedly, as an inhabitant of the earth, everyone of us has the right to use water, a kind of public resources. However, if all people think that they can use water extravagantly挥霍无度地, water resource on the earth will inevitably run out. In addition, we need to realize a crucial fact that in many regions of this globe, there are still some people who are experiencing a shortage of water and are suffering from infections due to using unsanitary water. Hence, we should not consume water recklessly.

另一方:让步+反驳

Governments have the obligation to supervise people’s water use and to punish the behaviors causing water pollution. However, it is unrealistic to limit how much water every person should use. This is because water is one of the necessities of our lives, and every family has different needs and habits of using water. Once governments exert strict limits on the water consumption of every family, this practice will bring a huge inconvenience to ordinary people. For example, a family with more children inevitably needs more water to wash their clothes. Therefore, protecting water resource should not be at the expense of affecting the living quality of people.

结论:In conclusion, i think that both views are somewhat extreme. People should not use as much water as they want and should always have an awareness of saving water resource. Meanwhile, governments should supervise people’s water use rather than control them.
