语言类的学习是雅思口语常考的题目,最近5-8月份的题库中出现了这样一道题目:
Describe another language (in addition to English and your own languageChinese) that you would like to learn.
You should say:
The name of this language ( where it is spoken)
How you would learn it
What difficulties you think you might have when learning this language
And explain why you would like to learn this language.
拿到这个答题库卡,考生应该首先做的是审题, “in addition to English and your ownlanguage”即除了汉语和英语之外的一门语言。 “you would like to learn”你将来想学的一门语言。同学们可以想一下自己想学的一门语言,但在说语言的时候要注意语言名和国家名的区别,比如说 法语是 “ French”, 而不是“France”; 德语是 “German”, 而不是
“Germany”.
“How you would learn it”, 学习一门语言的方式有多种多样的,比如说可以来新东方来参加一些培训课程 “signup/attend a training course in an institution”; 现在很多同学喜欢在网上报一些课程来学习, “ by onlineclass/ courses”; 要想真正学习语言还要抽出时间多背单词和语法结构, “spare time to memorize sentencestructures, vocabulary”; 还有一种学习语言非常好的方式是浸入式学习方法,即在周围人都用这门语言的环境中去学习,即 “immersingyourself in that environment”.
“ What difficulties you think you might have when learning this language”,学习语言对于很多初学者而言掌握发音,词汇积累,和语法结构都很困难,所以说需要有资质老师的知道 “ you need a qualified teacher toinstruct you”.
“And explain why you would like to learn this language”,学习语言的原因有很多,可以从语言本身来讲 “ it sounds melodious” 听起来比较优美; 对于工作的升职 “job promotion”和出国旅行 “foreign business tri” 都有好处.
除此之外还可以把语言和国家联系到一起,喜欢学这门语言是因为喜欢这个国家,如果和国家联系到一起可以说的内容就非常之多了,例如这个国家的 文化 (film, literature , comics, cartoon, habit, way of thinking 等等);还可以从这个国家的饮食(mouth-watering/tasty food) 来说 , 日本的sushi, 法国的 snails, frog legs;另外还可以谈到你想去国家的旅游目的地 “travel destination/ tourist attraction“, 法国的 “Eiffel tower”,日本的 “mount Fuji”.
语言类的学习在雅思口语考试中是非常高频的题目,考生在准备雅思考试的时候要积累相应的素材。本题的素材,尤其是国家那段的描述还可以用到其他的第二部分的题目中“ describe a country ( not your own) that you would like to visit”; “ describeanother place you visit to learn its culture”.
