首先:要对自己有个清晰的认识:在part two开始之前每个学生需要对 自己的语速逻辑能说多少,知道自己2分钟能说多少内容,在这个内容之上再*自己2分钟的质量这才是至关重要的。下面给大家简单介绍一下part 2.
*妙计之:1.认知+2.策略
1.认知:part2的回答是有规定的逻辑顺序的,很多学生会不知道从哪里开始从哪里结束,两分钟的结束发现自己还有很多没说,是要扣很多分数的。
2.策略:Part 2其实不是很难得,学生需要正确认知两个问题
如何构建答案1.How should you structure your answer?
*到底想听什么2.To figure out what the examiner wants to hear?
一个是框架一个是内容。说白了就这两个问题,大家需要反复的去练习。只有通过大量的练习学生才能得到好的分数。
所有的Part two 的题目的框架都是一样的,一个main question 紧接着3个sub-questions *后一个main question.主要问题的重点是概括性、广义性
小题的重点是对具体信息和词汇的考查.下面我们来看一个例子
Describe a person you have met who you think is beautiful or handsome.
You should say:
Who the person is
When/where you met him/her
What his /her personality is like
在真正的考试之后考生需要注意:
1.千万不要被小题干扰
2. 回答主要问题还是*重要的
3.需要做好两者平衡
那么面对词穷的问题我们该怎么做呢?
策略一:描述+议论
所有Part 2 各类卡片题里都会有一个共同的关键词- “ describe ”尤其是人物/实物的话题:Describe a person you have met who you think is beautiful or handsome
很多学生*反应几乎是集中精力思考如何describe外貌特征如:长长的睫毛,厚厚的嘴唇等;但这部分描述能用1.5 ms 不间断描述,也实属不易,不过能做到这些的,口语基础是相当不错了。
Sample :I think the most beautiful person I have ever met is my co-worker Emily. I met Emily at work about two years ago. Emily is Irish and like most Irish girls she has long red curly hair, and huge shining green eyes. More specially, her skin is pure white like an angel. She has quite luscious full red lips.
上面这个“流水账”式的描述*打动不了*,2分钟没到,别的似乎没讲的了!意味着你也得不到*。
试试加点“议论”让语言更加饱满:
I think the most beautiful person I have ever met is my co-worker Emily. I met Emily at work about two years ago. Emily is Irish and like most Irish girls she has long red curly hair, and huge shining green eyes(描述). That recall my memory about how a female elf looks like in the movie called The Lord Of The Ring. (议论). More specially, her skin is pure white like an angel. (描述). I have never seen such white skin before. She is so pretty that every time I am close to her, I get tongue-tied and start to talk gibberish. I guess she must think that I am sort of blockhead. (议论). However when I look at her luscious full red lips (描述)., my heart just melted (议论).
议论性的语言可以看作为对前一个描述点的补充说明、例证。试试养成这种习惯,说话的内容就不会“流水账”,反而会显得很饱满。这也是*期待听到的。
策略二 摒弃 ‘cliché’
Part 2 里常见性的话题(Architecture Animal Plant Movie )表面上看起来很直白简单,然而却是个陷阱。这些简单常见的话题考生往往会出现雷同的问题,千篇一律的答案*当然是不会喜欢的。以下是一个关于Prize的例子:
Personally, it ‘s been my dream to win the Nobel Prize. As you may know, the Nobel Prize is awarded once a year for those who have made extraordinary achievements in scientific fields such as biology, physics as well as chemistry. I even heard there is also the Nobel Peach Price , and the Prize for literature, which I heard about 6 years ago when the Nobel Committee, which is based in Stockholm, Sweden, decided to give the prize to Mr. Mo Yan, the very first Chinese writer who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012……
*考生特点:在Part 2部分,总喜欢给出安全稳妥简单但缺乏新意的答案。所以考生们要学会紧抓提干,并运用了大量丰富词汇。所以,今后碰到描述历史建筑,可以试试美国的Mount Rushmore/英国的Stonehenge,试图抓住*的感官神经!
