提示:不管題目怎么出,永遠(yuǎn)記得國(guó)際合作、企業(yè)、政府、個(gè)人,都可以為環(huán)境保護(hù)做出自己的努力。所以,你要準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容,就是以上四個(gè)方面可以做的事情。

提示:這道題目是經(jīng)典老題,多次在雅思考試中出現(xiàn)。題目中的理由有明顯的邏輯漏洞,因?yàn)轱w機(jī)承載的乘客數(shù)量和行駛的距離要遠(yuǎn)大于汽車,因此先駁斥理由,再講飛機(jī)被禁止的后果(旅游業(yè),物流業(yè)將會(huì)遭到重創(chuàng))就可以了。

母題:Some people support the developments in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (080712)
提示:工廠化農(nóng)業(yè)factory farming提高了農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)量,但也禍害無(wú)窮。比如大規(guī)模噴灑化學(xué)肥料chemical fertiliser和農(nóng)藥pesticide,集中式養(yǎng)殖battery farming會(huì)侵害動(dòng)物權(quán)利,也使得肉類安全受到威脅。轉(zhuǎn)基因食品genetically modified food雖然改善了食物的品質(zhì)和產(chǎn)量,但是破壞生態(tài)平衡,對(duì)人體健康構(gòu)成潛在的威脅。
子題:長(zhǎng)距離運(yùn)輸(空運(yùn))食品的好壞,科技改變食品的好壞。
注意:本題是一個(gè)邊緣話題,不能完全歸類到環(huán)保類下。比如長(zhǎng)距離運(yùn)輸食品與全球化類話題可以結(jié)合,科技改善食品可以與科技類話題結(jié)合。

1. 新聞與媒體
母題:News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)
提示:之所以選擇這道題目做母題是因?yàn)樗w的范圍最廣,可以寫報(bào)紙、電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)。圍繞這些媒體的好處和壞處寫一篇文章,順便思考一下下面的幾道子題,那么這部分的話題就可以搞定了。

母題:Nowadays, films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people think those films and games have negative effects on society and should be banned, while others think they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (111029)

3. 廣告
母題:We are surrounded by all kinds of advertising, which significantly influence our lives. Do the positive effects of advertising outweigh its negative effects? (041016, 110625)
提示:這道題目是廣告類話題中最經(jīng)典的,因?yàn)檫@道題目的范圍最廣。這道題目寫成雙邊,好處是給消費(fèi)者提供信息,促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展,帶動(dòng)就業(yè),壞處是欺騙誤導(dǎo)消費(fèi)者,誤導(dǎo)兒童模仿,擾亂生活。

2. 政府應(yīng)當(dāng)投資嗎?
母題:Some people say arts such as music and painting cannot directly improve the quality of people’s life, so the government shouldn’t put money on art such as music and painting, instead, they should spend more money on construction of public services. Do you agree or disagree? (040626, 041127, 070920, 110611)
提示:政府投資類的話題幾乎全都是交叉類話題,分別與教育(誰(shuí)應(yīng)該為學(xué)費(fèi)買單)、藝術(shù)、科技、健康等話題結(jié)合。這類題目的寫法大同小異,好處就是圍繞各自的交叉來(lái)寫,如促進(jìn)教育、藝術(shù)、科技的發(fā)展,促進(jìn)公民的健康,等等,而壞處都是一樣的:浪費(fèi)政府的有限的財(cái)政lavish the tight budget of the government,或者說(shuō)給政府造成了沉重的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)impose a heavy financial burden on the government.

3. 城市化與城鄉(xiāng)差別
母題:In some countries, governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move out of large cities and into regional areas. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages? (080809)
提示:城市化的發(fā)展帶來(lái)了一系列的問題,而最有效的方法就是把公司和工廠搬遷到局部地區(qū)(郊區(qū)),進(jìn)行人口導(dǎo)入。這雖然給城市的居住環(huán)境有很大的改善,但也會(huì)造成一定的負(fù)面影響。
子題:城市化會(huì)帶來(lái)哪些問題,如何解決,是否要鼓勵(lì)人們住在郊區(qū)?城市化會(huì)給年輕人帶來(lái)什么問題,如何解決?是否只有政府才能解決住房短缺問題? 城市規(guī)劃者把商店、學(xué)校、辦公樓、居民區(qū)集中在一起,有何利弊?市中心的商店生意慘淡,人們開車去郊區(qū)的商店,有何利弊?城鄉(xiāng)差別產(chǎn)生的原因是什么,如何縮小差距?

母題:Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ equal numbers of men and women workers. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? (110115)
提示:這種想法貌似合理,但是男女特質(zhì)不同,各自有自己的擅長(zhǎng),如果一味地追求數(shù)量平等,反而是一種不公平。

對(duì)雅思口語(yǔ)考生的建議是根據(jù)以上的4個(gè)維度與17個(gè)得分點(diǎn)逐一進(jìn)行練習(xí)。關(guān)于英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的提高辦法是很多雅思考生特別頭疼的問題。在雅思口語(yǔ)中,光靠機(jī)經(jīng)很難拿到8以上的高分。所以還得靠平時(shí)的積累。那么中國(guó)考生在練習(xí)口語(yǔ)的時(shí)候最大的問題是什么呢?
根據(jù)筆者多年的觀察,許多考生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)多年卻未曾突破,最大的原因不是方法問題而是態(tài)度問題。也就是說(shuō),大家一直在找方法,在各種方法之間選擇,最重要的行動(dòng)卻沒有??忌鷤兛梢韵胂耄覀?cè)趯W(xué)母語(yǔ)的時(shí)候有方法嗎?
筆者自己的口語(yǔ)比一般非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生好。原因總結(jié)為以下三點(diǎn),供大家借鑒:
1)大學(xué)時(shí)的大量練習(xí)。由于筆者是學(xué)校英語(yǔ)協(xié)會(huì)的會(huì)長(zhǎng),每周都要為會(huì)員組織英語(yǔ)活動(dòng),等于變相地在當(dāng)老師。
后來(lái)在英國(guó)讀教育心理學(xué)才發(fā)現(xiàn)能達(dá)到最好效果的學(xué)習(xí)方式,就是learning by teaching others(教會(huì)別人)。新東方很多老師英語(yǔ)不錯(cuò),一是底子好,二是一直不斷在用,不斷在想辦法教會(huì)別人,所以自然就保持得好。
2)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)是從可以蹦詞、到蹦短語(yǔ)、再到蹦句子,這樣一個(gè)從簡(jiǎn)單到復(fù)雜的過(guò)程,和嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言并無(wú)兩樣。
能看懂的是被動(dòng)知識(shí),用說(shuō)出來(lái)的才是語(yǔ)言能力。我們中國(guó)的語(yǔ)言教學(xué)最大的問題就是把語(yǔ)言知識(shí)等同于語(yǔ)言能力了。
語(yǔ)言知識(shí)是語(yǔ)言能力的基礎(chǔ),但不是自動(dòng)等于能力。就好比,你讀了10本游泳的學(xué)術(shù)著作,你對(duì)游泳的知識(shí)已經(jīng)很豐富了,但你不下水,不去游,你還是一點(diǎn)也不具備游泳的能力。這種情況下掉下水,即便你學(xué)富五車,一樣會(huì)被淹死。
3)在缺乏真實(shí)語(yǔ)言環(huán)境的境況下,外語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)能力的保持要靠每天的聽力練習(xí)。語(yǔ)言的學(xué)習(xí)聽力要先行。你能聽懂心里起碼不慌。聽的多了,自然就能下意識(shí)的講出來(lái),講不出來(lái),就是聽的還不夠多。你能不能說(shuō)出,是(yes)和不(no)?當(dāng)然可以。其他不行,是因?yàn)榫毩?xí)的量不到位。所以要練就一口漂亮的口語(yǔ)就是這樣,要堅(jiān)持。
語(yǔ)言是否地道除了表面的語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)問題其實(shí)更深層的問題是思維的問題。思維的問題是最根本的。經(jīng)常有雅思考生問,范老師,每次我說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候腦袋里總是先想中文,然后再把中文轉(zhuǎn)化成英語(yǔ),回答時(shí)總是很慢,這是我學(xué)習(xí)方法的錯(cuò)誤還是由于不熟練?
我回復(fù)說(shuō)用英語(yǔ)思維是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)最高境界。一門語(yǔ)言你如果習(xí)得成功了,那么用一個(gè)成語(yǔ)來(lái)講就是“得意忘形”。
得到了語(yǔ)言的意思,忘記了語(yǔ)言的形狀。這位同學(xué)講英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候腦子里還要過(guò)中文,然后解碼成英文,說(shuō)明對(duì)英語(yǔ)這門語(yǔ)言,還沒有習(xí)得成功,還在學(xué)習(xí)之中。
四、雅思口語(yǔ)如何提升
雅思口語(yǔ)話題的類型很多,大家需要多加熟悉一些??嫉脑掝},因此雅思口語(yǔ)找到一個(gè)專業(yè)的外教進(jìn)行練習(xí)還是很有必要的。分享一下我在用的app:留小留,可以隨時(shí)和世界各地的Native Speaker進(jìn)行一對(duì)一的口語(yǔ)對(duì)練,里面有很多專業(yè)的雅思外教可以選擇,而且還有前雅思高級(jí)考官,強(qiáng)烈建議考試前跟雅思考官模擬測(cè)試一下。這個(gè)軟件用起來(lái)就跟打微信語(yǔ)音/視頻電話一樣,質(zhì)量很清晰。這個(gè)是最讓我感到意外且性價(jià)比超級(jí)高的一個(gè)APP了。我長(zhǎng)期練習(xí)的一個(gè)外教陪練是英國(guó)的Leila,她不僅口音純正,而且人超級(jí)nice,她本人還是一個(gè)攝影師,我也經(jīng)常跟她交流攝影方面的技巧。
不過(guò)大家在跟外國(guó)人練習(xí)雅思口語(yǔ)的時(shí)候,我有2個(gè)建議:1是提前準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)話題,帶著話題去跟他們練習(xí)能讓你學(xué)到很多地道的表達(dá);2.是不一定非要選擇歐美的老外,像有些南非、菲律賓的也很專業(yè),練習(xí)口語(yǔ)也不錯(cuò)。
我們精心為大家整理的《雅思口語(yǔ)介紹一個(gè)大公司話題 十個(gè)分類涵蓋所有雅思話題》文章不知道大家滿不滿意,如果大家想了解更多語(yǔ)言培訓(xùn)相關(guān)的信息,請(qǐng)關(guān)注語(yǔ)言培訓(xùn)欄目。
