降温指南 

在各地纷纷开启“烧烤模式”的伏天

宅在家吹空调煲剧吃西瓜……

简直不要太爽

最近疯狂占据微博（@外研社Unipus）热搜的

《我的前半生》看了没？

不论子君傻不傻

也不管贺涵渣不渣

这部剧让小U陷入了另一种沉思……

邀请大家一起来思考下

 

我的前半生 想要怎么过？

     出国留学是个很好的选择

但“语言关”难过

雅思几刷了？刷到理想的分数了没？

口语有没有拖后腿呢？

想想这些顿时就凉快了呢……

利用假期，小U带你充充电吧~

我们都知道，雅思口语的Part II对备考经验不太丰富的烤鸭们来说算是一个不小的障碍。很多英语基础明明很好的亲们在面对并不算很难的题卡时也常常觉得没什么好说的，于是便有了下面的一幕：

 

Describe a time when you waited for someone.

You should say:

       whom you waited for

       where you were waiting

       what you did while waiting

and explain how you felt while waiting. 

你：I waited for my boyfriend last week in a shopping mall for like 2 hours. I tried to distract myself with my smartphone. I was really angry with him.

考官：三句话包含了四个点，言简意赅，真的很棒棒呢！但我们的要求是“talk about the topic for one to two minutes”，负分滚粗！

 

针对这种情况，小U教你一招黄金四“步”曲，助你一举拿下雅思口语Part II。

Step 1

总起句  用一到两句话为自己的回答开个好头，介绍背景情况，自然引入主题。以本题为例，我们在开始讲述事情经过并回答题卡中的四个问题之前，可以先这样说：

 

I must confess that waiting for someone for a long time is something I am never fond of, particularly if that person is supposed to arrive at a time that we both agreed upon. 

 

肿么样？是不是比单刀直入强多啦？一方面展示了自己的语言能力，另一方面也给考官留下了反应的时间，不显突兀。

 

Step 2

描述段  按照事情的发展顺序，讲述来龙去脉，前因后果，同时回答Q1、Q2和Q3。

 

请看示例：

This topic reminds me of a miserable date with my friend Cliff, whom I first met at an alumni party. We soon started seeing each other. The first date went pretty well and we had a good time together but the second didn't work out that way. We planned to meet in a park. It suddenly began to rain and thunder when I arrived. I didn't bring an umbrella and had to hide somewhere. 

 

Unfortunately, a small pavilion in the middle of the park was the only shelter I could find. I tried to call Cliff but his mobile was turned off. I had waited for more than two hours before Cliff finally showed up. He then apologized and explained that he was actually stopped by traffic congestion.

 

这段话中不但包含了题目中要求涵盖的前三个点，还有更多的细节和发展，条理清晰地讲述了事情的起因经过和结果，充分展示了答题者的语言表达能力，绘声绘色，引人入胜，一下子就吸引了考官的注意呢~

Step 3

情感段  事情讲清楚了，是不是该谈谈感受了？来看看高手是怎么做的。

I must admit that I was kind of upset but it just happened and he didn't mean to keep my heels cool. Next time when I have to wait for someone I'll just try to distract myself by reading a good book or listening to the music instead of fretting about everything.

 

有不悦，有谅解，还有经验教训以及对以后此类事件的未雨绸缪,比一句简简单单的“I was very angry with him”强十万八千里啊有木有。

Step 4

总结段  在答案的结尾再次提及关键词，进行总结。至此，这个全须全尾的答案就呼之欲出了。

 

So you see when you have no choice but to wait, why not just find something else to do and stay calm. Maybe the guy you’re waiting for is making every attempt to come.
