history雅思口语的简单介绍

雅思口语考试中有哪些关于历史话题的重点

雅思口语考试中经常回出现关于历史的话题,如果再考场上,让考官记住你呢?今天沪江小编为大家带来关于历史的重点内容,希望对大家有所帮助。

雅思口语中说到历史,我们并不陌生,因为几乎每个人从小就学习历史。According to Wikipedia, History is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. 也就是说,历史是对过去的研究,尤其是和人相关的研究。

历史在人类社会的发展过程中,起到至关重要的作用。它告诉我们我们是谁,我们来自哪;它让我们穿越时间和空间去思考过去发生了什么,我们从中能学到什么;它使我们更好的了解这个世界。The history plays a vital role in the development of society. It gives us an insight into who we are and where we come from; it helps us stretch our perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and what we can learn from the past; it provides us with a chance to understand the world.

1. Do you like to learn about history?

这是一道喜欢或者不喜欢类的题目,首先我们来学习一下表达‘喜欢’的语言,题目中的like可以替换成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜欢除了用dislike以外,还可以替换成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.

关于这道题,通常情况下,我们会回答喜欢,或者不喜欢。注意,答案尽量以Yes, I do.的形式出现,而不是单独的yes。同时也可以替换成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表达。同样,否定的答案,可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是,No, it’s not my kind of thing来代替。

若该题目的答案是喜欢,那么我们需要在表明倾向后加以解释,通常是给出原因或例子。除了以上所讲到的历史的作用外,喜欢了解历史的原因还可以是:The historical events are very interesting(历史事件非常有趣);It can make us wise(使人明智)等。

若回答不喜欢,则也须讲明原因,或者讲明不喜欢的地方在哪。这里推荐给考生一个加分的表达:to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是说对某物或是某件事情既爱又恨。回想我们不喜欢历史的原因,可能更多的是因为我们不喜欢以背诵为主的历史考试,而非我们对历史事件真的不感兴趣。(I’m more interested in historical stories rather than in details of names, dates and places.)

范例1: Yes, very much so. I’d say history is my real love. You know, it’s easy for me to get lost while reading historical books or watching some documentaries. I find history very interesting, mainly because it helps me stretch my perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and how our ancestors experienced things.

范例2: Well, to be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with history, generally because I’m much into the stories and the insights it gives me into the past, but I’m really struggling in the history exams which are usually centered around dates, names and places.

2. Do you think history is important?

关于这道题目,相信我们大多数考生都会给出肯定的回答:历史是重要的。其原因可以是以下几点:

It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. (它使得人们了解文化,政治,经济,社会以及价值是如何发展的)

History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. (历史不仅是关于过去,还关于过去如何导致了现在)

It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. (他告诉我们过去发生了什么,以帮助我们避免重复错误)

范例:Yes, I think so. History not only deals with the past, but also with how the past led to the present. So it allows people to understand how culture, politics, society and values developed. More importantly, since it tells us what happened in the past, we could avoid repeating mistakes.

3. Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?

了解历史的方式有很多,比如看电影,读书,看纪录片,参观历史景点,上历史课等。(There are many ways to learn about history, such as watching films, reading books, watching documentaries, visiting historical sites, and attending history classes. )。至于哪一种才是了解历史最好的方式(the best way to learn history),每个人心中的答案各不相同。

这道题目是问,我们是否可以通过看电影或者电视节目这种方式来了解历史。目前,我们的电影类型有很多,比如comedy(喜剧),action movies(动作片),science fiction films(科幻片),martial arts films(功夫片),romance films(爱情片),war movies(战争片)等等,至于电视节目,种类更是繁多,常见的有reality shows(真人秀),talent search(选人才节目),talk shows(谈话类节目),variety shows(文艺晚会),sitcoms(情景喜剧)等等。这些影片或者电视节目多多少少的涉及了一些历史,然而它们的主要目的还是以娱乐和教育为主(entertaining and educational),以讲述历史为目的还要属documentaries(纪录片)。

回到题目,这是一道是非疑问类的题目,我们的答案可以是肯定的,否定的或者不一定的。然而通过上面的分析,这道题目回答No或It depends可能更容易一些。原因可能是有些电影或是电视节目会根据剧情需要对历史进行改编(Some historical events might be rewritten by editors to satisfy the plot),每部电影或者电视节目会站在各自不同的角度看待历史,我们容易受电影或节目中人物和剧情的影响(They may show the history from different perspectives, so that we are easy to be influenced by the characters and plots.),因此我们并不总是能够从电影和电视节目中了解到历史,然而记录片除外,因为其涉及的内容主要是历史或科学(Documentaries mainly deal with history or science)。因此,从纪录片中,我们比较容易了解真正的历史。

范例:It depends. It depends on what the movie or program is. I mean, we usually watch some movies and TV programs in which some historical events are rewritten to satisfy the plots. In this case, I don’t think we can learn the real history. However, we may learn some from documentaries, which are particularly deal with historical issues or science.

4. Do you think the Internet is a good place to learn about history?

同样,这也是一道是非疑问类的题目,无论我们的答案是肯定的还是否定的,都需要有充分的支持。例如,这道题目你可以回答‘是’(Yes, I think so; Yes I guess so; Yes sort of),然后在给出理由,可以是网络资源充分,且免费,查阅方便等等(give a convenient access to information on almost everything)。所以你经常到什么样的网站上去浏览什么样的历史知识。

除此之外,你还可以给出否定的答案(No, I don’t think so; No, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.),然后给出原因,可能是因为网络信息并不总是可靠或者客观(not always reliable or objective),也可能是因为网络当中充斥着大量的误导或虚假或歪曲的信息(be awash with some misleading or false or distorted information),还有可能是因为网络上信息量过于庞大导致很难找到真正有用可靠的信息(With so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need)。因此我们应当慎重使用网络信息(be careful in using the information on the internet)

范例1:Yes, I guess so. It’s mainly because the Internet gives us a convenient access to information on almost everything we need. So I usually go to some news and education websites to read some information about history or other things.

范例2: Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily the case, mainly because the stuff on the Internet is not always reliable or objective. You know, everyone can publish their own ideas on the websites so the Internet might be awash with a huge amount of misleading, false or distorted things. In addition, with so much information in the website, people may find it difficult to search for the useful and reliable information which they really need. So yeah, that’s basically why I suppose not.

雅思口语Describe a historical building的答案?

1

The Potala Palace, located in Lhasa, Tibet is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient building is the most famous monumental landmark in Tibet. This immense building of 130,000 square meters served as the residence of the Dalai Lama and top Tibetan government staff. Potala Palace means, "the Sacred Palace of Buddhism" in Sanskrit. This sacred place is is memorable for its grand buildings, complicated constructions, cultural significance, devotional atmosphere and splendid artworks.

2

兵马俑

The Terracotta Army was discovered in eastern outer suburbs of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province by local farmers drilling a water well 1.5 miles east of Lishan (a mountain).This discovery prompted archaeologists to proceed to Shaanxi Province, China to investigate. The Terracotta Army is a form of funerary art buried with the First Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huang, Shi Huang means the first emperor) in 210-209 BC (he declared himself the first emperor of China in 221 BC to the end of his life in 210 BC). Their purpose was to help rule another empire with Shi Huang Di in the afterlife. Consequently, they are also sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies." Mount Lishan is also where the material to make the terracotta warriors originated. In addition to the warriors, an entire man-made necropolis for the emperor has been excavated.

According to the historian Sima Qian (145 BC-90 BC) construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and involved 700,000 workers. Qin Shi Huang was thirteen when construction began. Sima Qian, in his most famous history of China, Shiji, completed a century after the mausoleum completion, wrote that the First Emperor was buried with palaces, scenic towers, officials, valuable utensils and 'wonderful objects,' with 100 rivers fashioned in mercury and above this heavenly bodies below which he wrote were 'the features of the earth.' Some translations of this passage refer to 'models' or 'imitations' but in fact he does not use those words. Recent scientific work at the site has shown high levels of mercury in the soil of Mount Lishan, appearing to add credence to the writing of ancient historian Sima Qian. The tomb of Shi Huang Di is near an earthen pyramid 76 meters tall and nearly 350 square meters. The tomb remains unopened, in the hope that it will remain intact. Only a portion of the site is presently excavated.

Qin Shi Huang’s necropolis complex was constructed to serve as an imperial compound or palace. It comprises several offices, halls and other structures and is surrounded by a wall with gateway entrances. The remains of the craftsmen working in the tomb have also been found within its confines, and it is believed they were sealed inside alive to prevent them from divulging information about the tombs.

It was also said as a legend that the Terracotta Warriors were real soldiers, buried with Emperor Qin so that they can guard him in the next life.

材料:

描述古迹及历史景点的话题,最早出现是在05年左右,09年考法有所不同,但基本思路是一样的。现看题:

Describe an (an important) historic site in your country.

You should say:

where it is

what can be seen at this site now (or, what it looks like)

how you know about this place

and explain why it is important in the history of your country.

Tips:

1.Historical Vs Historic

两个都是history的形容词形式。前者指任何和古代沾边的东西比如 This barrow is an historical invention. 这个手推车车是个古代发明。而Historic是指有历史意义的比如 Emperor QinShiHuang is an historic figure.秦始皇是个历史性的人物。

2.Historic site 可以是你家乡的某个历史景点Major tourist attraction,建筑building,陵墓Mausoleum,遗址Ruins,寺庙temple等等。

建筑特点.

1.emphasis much on the width of the building with large roofs. This gives people a sense of grandness. In contrast, western buildings emphasis very much on the height and depth.

2.Chinese ancient buliding also was characterized by its bilateral symmetry which signifys balance. this feature can be particularly detected when looking at a Tang Dynasty Building. Watch the ShaanXi History Museum closely some day and you'll find out.

3.While Western buildings like Churches have squares in front of them so that the building can go with other buildings,Acient temples and palaces in China all have walls to form an enclosed courtyard or a patio to seperate it from other constructions. This is anther characteristic of chinese traditional buildings.

表达个人感受:

This place really calms me down!

I found peace and tranquility in this place!

The architecture is so magnificent that i can't help screaming when i saw it!

I've always wanted to see the legendary Terra-cotta Amry and my dream came true that day!

The trip to the Great Mosque was amazing!

The name of the temple was said to be given by the Emperess CiXi.

The techniques of the ancient people really left me with a great impression!

The paintings on the side walls were fascinating.

I was surprised to know how ancient people build that grotto.

雅思口语考试 Part 2 Describe a historical event/an important event in history. 有模板的发给我一个呀

雅思口语Part 2答题技巧

策略一:WH细节描述法

当考生在面对话题无从下手时history雅思口语,可以利用 ”WH Questions”来引导思路的拓展history雅思口语,包括 “what, when, where, who(whom), why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。

例如,Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先须明确what(the Bookworm),when(some five years ago), where (down the south of Chengdu),who(foreigners for most of time);其次是整个描述的重点why(comfortable, pleasant, intimate ),how exactly (detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, and intimate),how often(once a month…),how much(30-40 yuan on average per person),how many(3 in Whole China)。

但是,在此提醒考生,在回答中,不可机械地按照每一个WH来作答,否则描述同样会非常死板乏味,即需要灵活自然过渡每一个WH。

策略二:举例支撑法

在Part 2话题描述中,如果仅有描述,仍会让整个陈述略显有些平淡,建议考生在描述的同时加上相应的例子,这样可以大大增加描述内容的丰富性和生动性。但是, 在Part 2里例子,并不一定要非常正式的举例,如“For example”;口语化的一些表达方式会更自然一些,如“such as,like”。比如,”Describe a special shop”,除了描述这个shop里有一些special goods外,若再具体举例说明有哪些特殊商品可以更能增强生动性。In the shop, you can always find some special and interesting stuff, such as hand-made floating lantern, photo books, tiny china pot, and Nepali jewelries and things like that。

策略三:数据支撑法

Part 2话题属于细节描述题,在适当的时候如果能够使用数据来进一步支撑描述,可以增强话题描述的真实性和说服力。但是,建议考生在使用数据的时候不要太过夸张数字,而且频率不应过多,使用一次数据就可以了。另外,与雅思写作有别的是,在写作中引用数据时最好有个出处或来源,但在回答口语Part 2问题时,这个出处可以省略,否则会导致回答内容是背诵的嫌疑,降低真实性,这就与history雅思口语我们的初衷背道相驰了。

如何应对雅思口语地方文化题?

今天环球青藤为各位雅思考生带来如何应对雅思口语地方文化题? 大家好,我是环球青藤的王炎龙老师。很开心我们又见面了,这次我将和大家一起分享雅思口语当中一道有趣的Part2,描述一个地方的文化(culture)。听到culture这个词大家可能会觉得比较难,因为文化这个概念太广泛太空洞,实在无法清晰地描述。其实不然,范围越大的东西我们思考的视觉就越开阔。文化包含方方面面,咱们只要选择其中一点讲清楚便可。而直观简单的文化其实可以理解成一个地方的生活习惯,比如西方人见面时喜欢拥抱,韩国人见面时喜欢鞠躬,印度人喜欢拿手抓饭,日本人吃拉面时喜欢发出声音...... 我们可以说的太多太多啦。 我先带大家看一下题目: Describe a place you went to and learned another culture You should say: where you went what you learned how you learned it and explain how you felt about this culture 我们在Part2当中自我白要达到2分钟,所以这4个小问题每一个我们都要能拓展到30秒钟左右。 好了,咱们就要开始一段有趣的文化之旅了,大家跟上我哦 今天,我们将举一个日本人吃拉面时喜欢发出声音的例子把这道题目轻松解决。 ONE POSSIBLE VERSION: 1.Today, I’d like to descrieb(这样开头的话会让考官觉得你很正式和有礼貌) a place I went to and learned another culture. Well, I went to Japan three years ago with my friends. (个问题的任务还没有结束哦,因为我们要说30秒左右,所以我们要把我们去的这个地方简单介绍一下)You know, Japan is a civilized country with a long history. It’s our neighbor and we have a lot in common. We both eat rice and use chopsticks. And I’m pretty interested in the Japanese history,culture and cuisine. 2.Hmm. In Japan, I learned that, the Japanese people like to slurp when they are earting noodles. I think it is considered as a rude behavior in some other countries, including China. But in Japan, people make the loud sounds when they are eating because they think the noodles are extremely delicious. And you can slurp as loud as you want.( 回答第二个问题时我们就要将这种文化/生活习惯清晰地解释给考官听。Slurp:吃饭时嘴里发出声音) 3.About how I learned this culture. Well, since I am a big fan of the Japanese food, after we checked in the hotel, I surfed the internet and tried to find the best noodle restaurant in Tokyo. Then I found it. My friends and I went there immediately. After we walked into the restaurant, we were shocked by the exotic table manners.(第三个问题问的是如何学会的,咱们可以讲一个小故事。Exotic:异域的) 4.As for how I felt about this culture. Hmm, at first, I couldn’t accept itb at all cos I thought it was too rude and even a little disgusting. Then I lost myself in the delicious noodles and slurped together with the Japanese. Now, I think the Japanese people are very interesting. They have their own way to express how much they love the noodles and I respect that.(第四个问题是要求我们谈谈感受,我们可以说说这前后的变化,这样就可以轻松的将答案拓展开来啦)。 同学们可以通过以上的解题思路试一试自己的故事: 1.介绍某个地方 2.一个与众不同的生活习惯 3.旅游时经历习得 4.感受从无法接受到接受。 哈哈哈,说了这么多,大家是不是在这个寒冷的阴雨天里也想来一碗热腾腾的日式豚骨拉面啊?我们一起slurp吧! 以上是今天的如何应对雅思口语地方文化题的全部应对方法,环球青藤希望各位在考试中能够冷静分析,切不可慌乱,能够在雅思考试中取得。如需了解更多雅思培训的相关信息,欢迎拨打环球青藤的免费咨询热线400-060-9663进行咨询,或者点击环球青藤网站页面的“在线咨询”与环球青藤名师直接对话。
