　　【雅思口语】Part 2描述题的拓展策略

　　雅思口语第二部分的卡片题对很多考生而言是个挑战，其难点在于话题拓展不开，无话可说。出现这种状况的原因有两方面，一是口语基本功不扎实，想到的内容说不出来。二是对雅思口语话题还不够了解，没有做充分的思考和准备。对于第一种情况，即基本功的提高不可一蹴而就，需假以时日，持之以恒。本文将针对第二种情况，谈谈可用于卡片题内容拓展的两大策略，并结合真题做具体分析说明。

　　4W+1H疑问词法

　　4W— When, Where, Who, What, Why;

　　1H— How

　　【真题实例】Describe a festival that is popular in your country.

　　You should say:

　　What the festival is

　　What time of year it is

　　What people do during this festival

　　Whether this festival has changed in recent years.

　　【答题思路】以该例为代表的事件题最容易从时间，地点，人物角度入手探寻素材。话题卡本身会以特殊疑问句形式给出四个方面提示。就该题而言，what time=when, what people do=how, 对照4W+1H, 我们还可以自己加三点提示，即where to celebrate, with whom to spend,和why it is important to celebrate。那么内容一下子增加了近一半。

　　【细节详解】

　　卡片提示(4点)

　　(what)The Spring Festival, is one of the\major traditional festivals in China.

　　(when)It falls on the first day of the first lunar month.

　　(what to do)Ways to celebrate the Chinese new year vary from place to place, but generally speaking, setting fireworks and firecrackers is a shared tradition and people across China decorate their house with the red color.

　　(whether)In recent years, Spring festival is more like a time for family get-together and personal relaxation , not a tradition to celebrate.

　　可增加的内容(3点)

　　(where) Chinese people would like to spend the holiday at home, watching TV or playing mahjong.

　　(who) On this day, family members who study or work away from home all come back and stay together. It is a time for family reunion.

　　(why) It is essential to have such a festival to celebrate, coz it offers the working people a chance to slow down, to strengthen the family bond and more importantly, to remember their tradition.

　　【旁征博引】 对于卡片题的另外三类主流话题(人物，地点，物品)，这种拓展方法同样适用。人物题可谈及与之认识的时间(when did you meet, how long have you met)，地点(where did you meet each other)，一起做什么(what do you do together)，原因(why you two became friends), 如何联系(how do you keep in touch)。地点题可谈及的内容有：第一次/上次去的时间(when did you first go there, what is the last time you went there)，该地点具体位置(where is it located)，和谁去过这个地方(with whom did you go there)，该地方有什么(what does this place have)，怎么去这个地方(How to get there)，为什么这个地点有名(why is it famous)。物品题思路拓展：什么时间得到的(when did you get this thing)，在哪可以看到或者买到(where did you first saw it or where can you buy it)，谁介绍的或者送的(who recommend or gave it to you)，为什么喜欢或不喜欢(why do you like/dislike it)，如何使用(how to use it)。

　　以上只是一部分，提醒考生需要注意的是，考试时无需对每个疑问词逐项说明，即便是卡片题上的四项提示也只是给考生作话题准备的参考而已，没有硬性规定非说不可。我们的原则是挑选有话讲的，容易讲的进行拓展。

【雅思口语】Part 2描述题的拓展策略的延伸阅读——IELTS考试写作技巧之有效的句子要有重点，并且要突出重点

　　同学们已经对IELTS考试的写作有了比较客观的认识，下面两全其美网校城编辑简单总结IELTS考试写作技巧：

　　1. 把重点摆在句首或句尾。

　　一般而论，最显眼的位置是在“句尾，其次是在句首，中间的位置最平淡，乏善可陈。例如：

　　(1) Incorrect grammar and improper construction invariably distract readers'attention.

　　(2) The history of vocabulary is, in many ways, the record of civilisation.

　　把重点放在句尾是种“吊胃口”的方法，读者或听者非得读完或听完整句不可。

　　2. 在复杂句里，把主句放在从句之后。

　　除了名词从句和形容词从句之外，因为它们位置较固定，副词从句中有几种的位置灵活，可以在主句之前出现，

　　也可以跟在主句之后。通常我们就把这样的副词从句提前，重点则放在后头的主句，如(3b)：

　　(3a) I came upon an old classmate when I went to town yesterday.

　　(3b) When I went to town yesterday, I came upon an old classmate.

　　副词短语更是如此，如 (4b):

　　(4a) Steel is commonly used to make knives, razors and other useful tools because of its durability.

　　(4b) Beacuse of its durability, steel is commonly used to make knives,razers and other useful tools.

　　3. 把较重要或有分量的词语放在后头，如(5b)和(6b)：

　　(5a) I was delighted and amused by the classical opera

　　(5b) I was amused and delighted by the classical opera.

　　(6a) That singer's life was tragic and brief.

　　(6b) That singer's life was brief and tragic.

　　4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。例如：

　　(7) Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed.

　　(8) Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education?

　　5. 必要时，重复重要的语词或概念。

　　例如：

　　(9) Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity,

　　and he likes their silence.

　　(10) ...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the

　　nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays.

　　6. 尽量用主动说态，因此(11b)比(11a)好：

　　(11a) A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone.

　　(11b) A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head.

　　7. 适当时候，可用倒装句和平行句，如：

　　(12) Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest

　　lived seven dwarfs.

　　(13) Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred.

　　(14) Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent.
