參考演說:
Low-carbon life encourages people to minimize energy use and greenhouse gas emission, especially the emission of carbon dioxide which scientists say is a major cause of global warming. In other words, we are encouraged to leave less carbon footprint in our daily life. When you drive a car, the engine burns fuel which creates a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of carbon dioxide. All those activities can put strains on the environment and lead to a worsening climate change. That’s why low-carbon lifestyle. is advocated. Everybody has to share the responsibility to tackle climate change. Some changes in your life can make a big difference to the environment. Firstly, choose public transport instead of private cars. If you have to drive a car, car-pooling is recommended. Secondly, switch your computers, air conditioners, and other electronic appliances to energy-saving mode; choose energy-efficient bubbles; turn them off when they’re not in use. Thirdly, use reusable carrier bags, cups, chopsticks as more environmentally-friendly alternatives to disposable commodities.

大家看到了,這個簡短的演說其實(shí)內(nèi)容、句式、單詞等各方面都不復(fù)雜,根據(jù)上面三個提示問題,我們可以很容易地理清一下演說的邏輯和思路,另外就是要注意積累一下環(huán)保方面的相關(guān)詞匯,比如上文中的car-pooling,還有“綠色出行”green commuting、“減少碳足跡”reduce your carbon footprint等等,對舉例說明很有幫助;主體內(nèi)容講完之后,如果監(jiān)考老師還沒有叫停的話,再大致講講自己對low-carbon life的看法之類總結(jié)性的話語,這樣,口語部分就可以順利過關(guān)啦。
