*本文所提供例题及解析来自iSpeak爱口语APP,欢迎大家扫描文末的二维码下载体验

 

(一)自我介绍

答题思路:

作自我介绍时,可以介绍自己的姓名、家乡、专业、兴趣爱好等。本部分力求语言表达简洁明了,并尽量能说出一条与众不同的个性化的兴趣爱好

 

常用表达:

I'm from… 我来自

I'm a freshman / sophomore. 我是一名大一新生 大二学生。

I major in… 我的专业是……

I usually do… in my free / spare time. 在空闲时间,我经常做……

I am fond of… 我喜欢……

 

作答示例:

I am Linda from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. I am twenty years old and I major in civil engineering. I have many hobbies such as Chinese chess, tennis and calligraphy, but my favorite one is Chinese chess. I began to play Chinese chess when I was six.

中文释义:

我是来自南京的琳达,今年二十岁,就读土木工程专业。我有许多爱好,如中国象棋、网球和书法,但我最喜欢的是中国象棋。我六岁起就开始下中国象棋了。

 

(二)短文朗读示例

题目介绍:

In this task, you will read aloud a short passage. You will have 45 seconds to go over the passage and one minute to read it aloud. Now here is the passage.

 

短文及朗读节奏、断句示例

(/)表示可停可不停,程度弱的同学可以在此停顿,程度高的同学不需要停顿。

Why Most people (/) who live (/) in a foreign country / for an extended period of time / experience cultural stress. // If you (/) are a student / living in another culture, / host nationals (/) may not seem to have (/) any interest / in making friends with you. // You've already (/) been on a program / for one month, / and you haven't (/) made any close friends / with host nationals, / or even friends (/) to hang out with. // Such occurrence (/) may throw you off. // But this is (/) all part of the cultural learning process! // If you encounter (/) any of these issues, / think of them / as learning experiences. // Try not to panic, / ask a lot of questions, / and address only the issue (/) at hand / rather than generalizing about (/) an entire country / or group of people.

 

疑难讲解:

1. 句重音、弱读、连读、失爆:

实词重读,虚词弱读:MOST PEOPLE who LIVE in a FOREIGN COUNTRY for an EXTENDED PERIOD of TIME EXPERIENCE CULTURAL STRESS.

连读分两种情况:一是辅音结尾+元音开头,如an extended, on a, hang out, such occurrence, think of, group of, 二是辅音结尾 + h开头(h不发音):at hand

失爆:extended period, host nationals

 

2. 根据标点和意群断句,如长句You've already(/) been on a program/ for one month, / and you haven't (/) made any close friends / with host nationals, / or even friends (/) to hang out with.

 

较难发音的词:

occurrence  [əˈkʌrəns]  事件

encounter  [ɪnˈkaʊntə(r)]  遭遇

generalize [ˈdʒenrəlaɪz]  概括

 

(三)问答示例

在短文朗读环节后,即根据所读短文回答两个问题。

 

Question 1:

If you encounter any culture stress in a foreign country, what shall you do?

 

答题思路

 

短文中间部分提到,当我们遇到类似的文化冲突问题时,把它们当作一种学习的过程。

 

常用表达:

cultural stress  文化压力

learning process  学习过程

 

作答示例:

According to the passage, if I have any cultural stress in another country, I will think of it as a learning process. 

 

Question 2:

Why do an increasing number of Chinese people choose to travel overseas nowadays?

 

答题思路:

 

回答原因类问题,如果有两个或两个以上的原因,需注意连接词的使用,如:for one thing… for another…, 使行文条理清晰、连贯流畅。给出的原因要合情合理。

 

常用表达:

for one thing… for another…一方面……另一方面……

globalization  全球化

arouse 引起

 

作答示例:

For one thing, with more income, Chinese people can afford to travel abroad. For another, globalization is arousing more interest of people to go to a foreign country to experience the local cultures by themselves.

 

(四)个人陈述示例

   

题目介绍:

In this task, you will talk about the picture displayed on the screen. You will have 45 seconds to prepare and one minute to talk about it. Now here is the picture.

   

 

答题思路:

 

采用“Description(图片描述)+ Comment(评论)”策略。首先,我们对图片进行简单描述,然后对图片所反映的社会问题加以解释或评论。

 

常用表达:

ironically  讽刺地(漫画中常用词)

made in China  中国制造

high quality  高质量

take the opportunity  利用机会

local product  本土产品

electronic goods  电子产品

first-class product  一流产品

The picture shows the phenomenon that… 图片呈现的现象是……

It is certainly true that…  诚然……

 

作答示例:

The picture shows the phenomenon that Chinese people travel to a foreign country to buy some goods made in China. A lady has just returned from Japan, and she's taking a very large suitcase of goods bought in Japan. Ironically, some of the goods, like the toilet cover, are made in China.

 

It is certainly true that some foreign goods are famous and of high quality and tourists often take the opportunity to buy some local products. For example, Switzerland is well-known for making watches, and Japan is good at producing electronic goods. However, with China's development at a rapid speed, we can produce and buy many first-class products at home. So it is unnecessary for us to blindly buy products abroad, especially those made in China.

 

(五)小组互动示例

   

In this task, you will talk with your partner about a foreign scenery spot. You may have visited, be interested in, or just have heard of such a place. Talk with each other about this place. Your description may include:

 

1. Where was / is the place?

2. What did / would you do there?

3. What impression did / does this place leave on you?

 

You will have one minute to prepare and three minutes to talk. Remember, this is a pair activity and you need to interact with each other. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the pair work. Now please start to prepare.

 

When you hear the beep, please start to speak.

 

答题思路:

 

此对话围绕出国经历展开,需要涉及具体国家、主要经历、个人感受三个方面的内容,考生需要有针对性地给出明确回答。表述个人观点时,重视逻辑清晰和连贯性,做到“自圆其说”。语言准确,内容言之有物,与题目密切相关。

 

常用表达:

travel abroad  国外旅游

have one or more experiences of  拥有……的经验

a long-term cooperative agreement  长期合作协议

summer school  暑期班

successful celebrity  成功人士

go sightseeing  观光

a tight schedule  日程很紧

thoughtful and considerate  热情周到的

 

作答示例:

A: In recent years, traveling abroad is becoming increasingly popular among us, isn't it?

B: Yes, it is. Many of my classmates have one or more experiences of visiting a foreign country.

A: So do my classmates. Which countries have you ever been to?

B: Oh, to tell you the truth, I have no experience of traveling abroad. But possibly this summer vacation I will go to Britain for about a month.

A: Really? What for?

B: My school has a long-term cooperative agreement with Nottingham University. And every year about ten students will be selected from my school to attend a one-month period of summer school in Nottingham University.

A: All right. I see. In that case, you have been successfully selected, haven't you?

B: Yes.

A: Congratulations! That is a world well-known university. You will certainly benefit a lot from such a journey.

B: Thank you. It is said that there are many free lectures of successful celebrities in that university and I am looking forward to attending them.

A: Yes. Free lectures are quite common in a foreign university.

B: It looks like you know more about foreign cultures. Have you ever visited one or some foreign countries?

A: Yes, but not many. My parents and went to Japan for sightseeing last summer. 

B: Wow. And how long have you been there?

A: We stayed there for about a week.

B: It is not a long period. Is it a tight schedule?

A: Yes, it is a little bit pressing. We just visited the city of Tokyo and some surrounding scenery spots.

B: Well. Could you tell me something about that place?

A: Tokyo is not as advanced as I expected. The buildings there usually have several stories and the roads are just 10 or 20 meters wide. But the service in the shopping mall is really thoughtful and considerate.

B: Oh. There must be some reasons for that.
