3. Describe a situation when you had to be polite
You should say
What situation it was
When it was
What happened?
And explain why you had to be polite
Analysis:
这道题是2012年全国考区的高频考题，很多同学对这个题目感觉到很陌生，其实就是一般的事件题，只是在事件中要点出可以展示出来的良好品德。
Sample:
This topic reminds me of what happened on last Saturday when I was traveling in Shanghai. Before the trip, I'd booked a room in the local Sheraton hotel. The flight arrived in Shanghai at midnight, and it's said we were the last wave of travelers on that day. The tiring flying and terrible airsickness got me really dizzy. All I wanted at that moment was a cozy bed.
But after stepping into the foyer of Sheraton, I was shocked by something awful. A young receptionist told me my reservation was not in his system. And there was not any other room available. I was nearly driven mad by his words. My heart was filled with anger and disappointment. But I tried to restrain the mood and avoid losing the temper. Smiling to the young man, I asked him to find me the lobby manager for a better solution. Later, I was told it was only a little accident, and my reservation had already been accepted.
4. Describe a wedding that you attended
You should say:
When it was
Who was there
What you did there
and explain why you think it was successful
Analysis:
在雅思口语考试的机经题库中，以wedding为主题的问题分别出现在了第一部分和第二部分，在第一部分中，题库中的考题有，what’s the typical Chinese wedding like? What do people usually wear in the wedding? …这些题目相对而言比较简单，在答题中简单展示出中西文化差异即可。但是在第二部分中，很多同学看到wedding这个话题时会觉得很难表达，其实这个话题仅仅是描述一次参加婚礼的经历即可，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家建议各位同学拿到话题之后，就马上开始根据wedding这个关键词做brain storming, 在脑海中可能会出现的词：rose petals, lovely balloons, red carpet, wedding candies, bride and groom, exchange the rings, exchange vows…有了这些单词，接下来就是组织语言的工作了，事件题相当于是一篇口述的记叙文，各位考生可以把记叙文的六大要素（when, who, where, beginning, plot, ending）融入进去，并且可以在其中点出自己最难忘的一个场景之类。例如：I think the most romantic part was the time when the newlyweds were taking the wedding vows. The groom said to the bride, “I love three things in the world, the sun, the moon and you, the sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever.” And the bride said to the groom, “To the world, you might be just one person, but to me, you are my whole world.” Those words touched everybody’s heart. 这个场景中出现的两段话，其实在我们的日常生活中，各类的英语美文中随处可见，朗阁专家建议同学们可以有意识的准备一些类似的小段子，用在自己的口语考试中，为自己加一个亮点。 |
