雅思(IELTS)考試寫作中的口語經―話題準備
通過總結對比口語和寫作機經庫,不難發現這兩大科目之間的話題高度相關性,兩者都無外乎社會熱點討論,體現了雅思考試人性化特點。下面,以寫作常考分類話題為參照,結合口語熱點話題作比較,找出共性特征,以供大家備考時一石二鳥,一舉兩得。
一、 教育、培訓、工作類
教育話題無疑是雅思寫作的重中之重,有數據稱教育話題在平均每個月都會考一次。所涵蓋內容包括教育方法和內容,兒童、中學、大學各階段教育。類似題目在口語中也有體現,我們通過兩組例子具體說明。
GROUP ONE:
【真題實例】:
è 寫作: As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual well-being. What are the factors that contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?
è 口語: Describe your ideal job
What the job is
What the job is about
Why you chose this job
How it has benefited or will benefit you.
【指點迷津】: 該組題目乍一看不是特別一樣,但稍加思考便會發現其雷同之處。寫作話題要求說明影響工作滿意度的要素,通過構思可以想到的素材有工作環境,待遇,前途等方面。而口語要求描述理想中的工作,完全可以從以上同樣幾個方面入手,解釋理想工作之所以理想的種種原因,相似指數 ★★★★。
GROUP TWO:
【真題實例】:
è 寫作: Some people argue that learning a second language involves learning the culture of the country where this language is spoken (including lifestyles). What is your opinion?
è 口語: What do you think is the most difficult when learning a second language? (Part 3 question)
【指點迷津】: 該組題目涉及到語言學習的問題,需稍許留意才能發現二者關聯,屬于話題部分重合。寫作的話題有這樣的一個分論點:承認學習文化的弊端,難,增加了學習負擔。這剛好可以拿來作為口語話題現成的素材,即,文化學習是語言學習最難的部分。相似指數★★★。
二、 科技發展類
這是除了教育話題以外的另一個高頻寫作話題,且牽扯內容也較為豐富,如:高科技產品, 科學發展與傳統文化,科技對生活的影響等等。依然是通過兩組實例詳細說明。
GROUP ONE:
【真題實例】:
è 寫作: People today can perform the everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to-face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole?
è 口語: How has technology changed people’s life? (Part 3 question)
【指點迷津】: 不難看出,寫作與口語題其實都是要求去說明科技對個人/社會的影響。話題完全一致,相似指數★★★★。
GROUP TWO:
【真題實例】:
è 寫作: Many people think that public libraries should only provide
books and should not waste their money on expensive hi-tech media, such as software, DVDs, or videos. Do you agree or disagree?
è 口語: Describe a public library
You should say:
Where the library is located
What you use it for
How often you visit this place
And explain what special features it has
【指點迷津】: 寫作題需要探討高科技媒體如software, DVDs, video的優缺點,這部分內容可以用于口語講述圖書館的特別之處。相似指數★★★。
三、 環境、污染類
環境問題在09年多次考到,儼然成為新一代熱點話題,下面以一組相似度極高的話題為例。
【真題實例】:
è 寫作:Many people believe that the human society has developed into a throw-away society, which is filled with plastic bags and rubbish. What are the causes and solutions?
è 口語:Describe an environmental problem in your country.
You should say:
what this problem is
what the causes of the problem are
how this problem affects people
and explain how this problem could be solved.
【指點迷津】: 稍作對比就會發現這兩個話題幾乎是一模一樣的,口語要求講一個環境問題就可以選擇垃圾污染問題來講。相似度★★★★★。
