通過上面四個回答維度,大家可以將以下人物類話題全部都串在一起,使用同一個答案回答:
1.Describe a teacher who has influenced you;
2.Describe a person who can speak a foreign language well;
3.Describe someone who helped you before;
4.Describe an important person in your life;
5.Describe an old person you know and respect;
6.Describe someone who you have studied or worked with;
7.Describe someone who gave you good advice;
8.Describe the politest person you know;
9.Described a neighbour who helped you before.
以上這9個話題都是人物類話題,你可以用“an old English teacher”來回答以上所有話題,還可以將其它問題變成你的答案句!比如在回答“an old person you know and respect”時,可以將“the politest person you know” 變成答案,形容這個你尊重的老人是你見過最禮貌的人,一箭雙雕。
eg. He's?a tubby old man with a beer belly. Even though he was 60 years old now,?he looked younger than his age.
■?Personality——結合話題描述相應的性格特征。
eg.?The warm smile was always telling others the approachable character of my teacher. He was?the politest person that I had ever known.
■?Relationship——與你或者主角身邊人的關系。
eg. My?English teacher and?I had a loving relationship with each other. We were more like friends than teacher?and student, since we were neighbours and I often?studied English with him after school.
■?Influence——對你或對身邊人帶來的影響,也要注意貼合主題。
eg. He had a positive influence on my life, not only because he taught me English, but also because of his attitude towards his students and his friends.
除了上述話題以外,你還可以將這個故事應用到關于“事件類”話題的回答:
Decribe the first day of a course you attended at school.
詳細介紹這位“old English teacher” 給你上的第一節英語課,當然可能故事的側重點和展開框架就不能像上述人物類介紹,而是應該將重點放在“5W1H”上,即:
首先背誦答案后在考場上搬運,如果讓雅思考官發現了是會有作弊嫌疑的。另外不同話題的側重點都有所不同,應該要根據話題的側重點修改你的素材,圍繞話題卡的核心進行回答。比如上面舉的“an old English teacher”,在應用到性格相關話題時應該將性格和影響作為主要回答內容,在應用到事件類話題時最好詳細描述一個完整的故事情節。
