雅思口語第二部分的卡片題對(duì)很多考生而言是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，其難點(diǎn)在于話題拓展不開，無話可說。出現(xiàn)這種狀況的原因有兩方面，一是口語基本功不扎實(shí)，想到的內(nèi)容說不出來。二是對(duì)雅思口語話題還不夠了解，沒有做充分的思考和準(zhǔn)備。對(duì)于第一種情況，即基本功的提高不可一蹴而就，需假以時(shí)日，持之以恒。本文將針對(duì)第二種情況，談?wù)効捎糜诳ㄆ}內(nèi)容拓展的兩大策略，并結(jié)合真題做具體分析說明。

策略一：4W+1H疑問詞法

4W— When, Where, Who, What, Why；

1H— How

【真題實(shí)例】Describe a festival that is popular in your country.

??????????? You should say:

??????????? What the festival is

??????????? What time of year it is

??????????? What people do during this festival

??????????? Whether this festival has changed in recent years.

【答題思路】以該例為代表的事件題最容易從時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，人物角度入手探尋素材。話題卡本身會(huì)以特殊疑問句形式給出四個(gè)方面提示。就該題而言，what time=when, what people do=how, 對(duì)照4W+1H, 我們還可以自己加三點(diǎn)提示，即where to celebrate, with whom to spend,和why it is important to celebrate。那么內(nèi)容一下子增加了近一半。

【細(xì)節(jié)詳解】
