在教學(xué)的過程中，當(dāng)問到學(xué)生雅思口語三個(gè)部分的考試哪個(gè)部分最難以對付時(shí)，大多數(shù)情況下學(xué)生會(huì)認(rèn)為Part 2是最令人頭痛的部分?，F(xiàn)在Part 2 的話題越來越細(xì)化、刁鉆，雖然有1分鐘的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間，但在緊張的考試環(huán)境下，大部分學(xué)生都稱“腦子是空白的”，以導(dǎo)致不充分的準(zhǔn)備讓1-2分鐘的描述變得非常的慘白，無奈收尾，給考官的感覺始終印象不深刻，無法達(dá)到通過細(xì)致的描述想親自嘗試的意愿。

通過分析學(xué)生Part 2的回答范例，發(fā)現(xiàn)不少同學(xué)要么僅將話題卡中給的問題提示作以簡單回答，要么使用較為明顯的模板回答方式---也就是我們常說的無關(guān)緊要的話，來填塞內(nèi)容上的空白。如 “If I really have to choose a place to describe, I’d like to tell you that …. is such the place.” 這也是中國學(xué)生雅思口語在40個(gè)國家和地區(qū)墊底的原因之一。在這篇文章中，雅思專家將總結(jié)出四種Part 2描述題的拓展策略。

策略一：WH細(xì)節(jié)描述法

當(dāng)考生在面對話題無從下手時(shí)，可以利用 ”WH Questions”來引導(dǎo)思路的拓展，包括 “what, when, where, who（whom）, why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。

例如，Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先須明確what（the Bookworm），when（some five years ago）, where （down the south of Chengdu），who（foreigners for most of time）；其次是整個(gè)描述的重點(diǎn)why（comfortable, pleasant, intimate ），how exactly （detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, and intimate），how often（once a month…），how much（30-40 yuan on average per person），how many（3 in Whole China）。

但是，在此提醒考生，在回答中，不可機(jī)械地按照每一個(gè)WH來作答，否則描述同樣會(huì)非常死板乏味，即需要靈活自然過渡每一個(gè)WH。

Sample answer：The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancy cafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5 years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partner and co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm. During these years, it’s been popular and welcomed by almost every foreigner in Chengdu. I guess it’s probably because the cafe is really the place that can make them feel at home, ranging from the food, coffee, inside decoration, and those books written and published from their country.

The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customers home style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or at work, having a rest at Bookworm will be the very pleasant thing to chill out. The greatest part is the live music every Friday night at which you can enjoy the best jazz and blues. There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has the first, and Chengdu and Suzhou follow the step, therefore if you‘re taking a trip to Beijing or Suzhou, you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nice little cafe. I like the cafe, for it’s the place where I can relax, eat, drink, read and enjoy music.

策略二：舉例支撐法

在Part 2話題描述中，如果僅有描述，仍會(huì)讓整個(gè)陳述略顯有些平淡，所以建議考生在描述的同時(shí)加上相應(yīng)的例子，這樣可以大大增加描述內(nèi)容的豐富性和生動(dòng)性。但是， 在Part 2里例子，并不一定要非常正式的舉例，如“For example”；口語化的一些表達(dá)方式會(huì)更自然一些，如“such as，like”。比如，”Describe a special shop”，除了描述這個(gè)shop里有一些special goods外，若再具體舉例說明有哪些特殊商品可以更能增強(qiáng)生動(dòng)性。In the shop, you can always find some special and interesting stuff, such as hand-made floating lantern, photo books, tiny china pot, and Nepali jewelries and things like that.

策略三：數(shù)據(jù)支撐法

Part 2話題屬于細(xì)節(jié)描述題，在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候如果能夠使用數(shù)據(jù)來進(jìn)一步支撐描述，可以增強(qiáng)話題描述的真實(shí)性和說服力。但是，建議考生在使用數(shù)據(jù)的時(shí)候不要太過夸張數(shù)字，而且頻率不應(yīng)過多，使用一次數(shù)據(jù)就可以了。另外，與雅思寫作有別的是，在寫作中引用數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)最好有個(gè)出處或來源，但在回答口語Part 2問題時(shí)，這個(gè)出處可以省略，否則會(huì)導(dǎo)致回答內(nèi)容是背誦的嫌疑，降低真實(shí)性，這就與我們的初衷背道相馳了。

比如“Describe a concert hall”，我們可以通過數(shù)據(jù)的支撐來這樣描述“The Civil Concert Hall holds about 50 to 60 shows on an average each year, receiving almost 30,000 audiences, and part of them come to this hall simply because of its comfortable seats and great sound and lighting effects. ”有了數(shù)據(jù)的支撐，可以使我們對音樂廳的規(guī)模和條件有個(gè)更直觀的了解，而不是簡單地描述“the concert hall is very popular and well-equipped.”

策略四：比較對照法

1-2分鐘的描述中，除了單方面地進(jìn)行描述外，可以通過描述同類事物進(jìn)行比較的方式來使內(nèi)容更加全面細(xì)致。但是，這個(gè)部分畢竟是口語考試，所以選用的比較類的詞語應(yīng)為口語化的連接詞，“unlike，similar，like，be different from”等。

例如“Describe a magazine”，我們這樣來描述：The magazine I’ve been reading recently is O2 (Oxygen Magazine), which mainly covers good books, movies, music, and life design as well as eco protection are the key topics throughout the whole magazine. Unlike the normal magazines, you cannot find any company’s advertisement on it. Another thing makes it different from the ordinary ones is that it uses recycled paper, and that’s what it’s aimed since it was born. 通過對比的方式，可以令考官加深對描述的印象，也豐富了枯燥話題的陳述內(nèi)容。

以上四種策略可以幫助考生拓展雅思口語Part 2的回答，讓描述題不再變得單調(diào)乏味，通過舉例和數(shù)據(jù)支撐法來增強(qiáng)內(nèi)容的真實(shí)性，細(xì)節(jié)法和比較對照法來彌補(bǔ)考生在題目上“無話可說”的問題，最終取得理想的分?jǐn)?shù)！
