常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師表示物品類的話題卡涉獵很廣,從藝術(shù)品、照片,到一件配飾,甚至電子產(chǎn)品,包含了我們生活中各方面的物品。目的很簡單,就是考察考生觀察生活、了解生活的程度,以及對客觀存在的事物進行描述的能力。而我們同學(xué)欠缺的往往是對物品細節(jié)的觀察和描述,從而讓聽者感到茫然,沒有重點。試想你在加拿大一家咖啡店打工,當一個顧客詢問你關(guān)于某種蛋糕的情況時,如果僅有簡簡單單的一句“It’s sweet and very delicious.”是根本無法打動人的,顧客很可能直接忽略掉你的回答并且掉頭就走。而此時,你更需要的是向顧客詳細地描述一下它的口味,里面添加了什么值得一提的材料,比如加了葡萄干還是巧克力豆,還有吃到嘴里首先會有什么感覺,之后又會怎么樣,這些細節(jié)加起來會完美呈現(xiàn)一塊蛋糕的特色,而你的顧客則可能會因為你的描述中有某些他本身喜歡的東西而決定多買一塊。再比如,一家通訊商的店員不可能只跟顧客介紹一款手機的牌子,顏色,而是應(yīng)該從規(guī)格性能,介紹到與眾不同的特色,比如防水等。當然如果在考試中,考生可視情況而決定到底應(yīng)該描述到哪種程度。當然,無論如何,你的回答中都要包括細節(jié)和重點,以及必不可少的與生活的聯(lián)系。所以本文常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師就針對電子產(chǎn)品話題做一分析。
當然,現(xiàn)在的考題較五年前有了更多的變化,比如題目的陳述更多樣化和抽象化。舉例來說,an electronic product/equipment you have、an equipment that you cannot live without、a useful product in your life等,這些題目看起來都很抽象,但抽象題目的好處就在于我們可以把握它們之間的共性,從而“一題多用”。也就是所謂的用同樣的內(nèi)容回答不同的題,省時又省力。只不過考生需要把握的是在不同題目之間進行靈活轉(zhuǎn)換,轉(zhuǎn)移重點。所以,在這里常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師就以單反相機(Digital Single-lens Reflex Camera)為例,進行詳解。
首先,單反相機看起來似乎只屬于電子產(chǎn)品,而要說它是你生活中不能缺少的一樣設(shè)備貌似有些牽強。其實不然。考生完全可以把單反相機描述為對你有極其重要意義的物品,突出自身的興趣愛好,從而讓考官感覺到你對攝影的熱愛,對一件事的激情和堅持。接下來,就要進行客觀描述了。剛才講到,在介紹電子產(chǎn)品時,最好要從基本信息,規(guī)格,到特色都有重點有細節(jié)地描述一下,從而讓考官對物品有一個更直觀的印象。單反相機的基本信息包括:品牌,如Canon、Nikon、Fuji、Samsung等;型號,如EOS 6D、Sony a99等。此類信息具有提高考生回答真實性的作用,不會引起考官對你真實性的質(zhì)疑。至于規(guī)格,我們可選取重要的,對你表達的主要內(nèi)容和觀點有幫助的方面來表達。假如你想突出的是相機的高分辨率,那你需要的就是把它的分辨率說出來,其他與之無關(guān)的則不必提。而關(guān)于相機的特色,應(yīng)該是整個介紹過程的重點,比如防水(water-proof),或是黑暗中不用閃光燈的條件下自動調(diào)光(handles incredible low-light shooting without a flash),這都可以算是你單反相機的亮點。當然描述完物品的概況我們需要注意到的是,在題目要求的最后,往往有一問要求考生解釋“為什么”,比如為什么喜歡,為什么重要,為什么離不開它,為什么經(jīng)常使用等,這就需要考生們想辦法用自身的經(jīng)驗,生活中的故事,甚至是朋友的經(jīng)驗來突出這個相機對你的重要性,期間不要忘記抓住一到兩個重點用故事或經(jīng)驗來闡釋。
下面常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師就提供了關(guān)于單反相機的范文,供大家參考。
Describe an electronic device that you have such as a CD player (not a computer or mobile phone).
You should say:
what it is
how you use it
when you use it
and explain how you benefit (or will benefit) from using it.
Ok, the product that I’d like to mention is a Digital Single-lens Reflex Camera that my dad bought to me as a graduation gift. It’s a Canon EOS 70D. Honestly, I barely know anything about photography, and it’s never one of my hobbies. But since I’ve got his DSLR, I think I have to use it. Then I know that it has quite a good performance and specification, like a vari-angle LCD Monitor which is definitely able to shoot stills or movies from unique or awkward angles, and of course, fast continuous shooting that allows me to capture the briefest moments. This indeed encouraged me to use it as much as possible. So I take it with me whenever there’s chance to take pictures. Namely, I take it when I hang out with friends, I take it to my trips at weekends, and of course I also take it to the wedding ceremony of my cousin. And on that occasion I got to know a girl majoring in photography, loving photography and wishing to have photography as her permanent career. We had a happy and interesting talk and I was totally shocked by her passion and complete devotion to photography. I didn't quite understand her at that time though she showed me many gorgeous and magical photos she took which are just like those can be found on the internet. Hearing what I think she invited me to go on a photography trip with her on a Saturday. We actually climbed a local mountain where I used to work out when I’m free. I can’t help doubting because I can’t know this mountain more. As far as I know, there’s nothing special that worth being taken. She didn't talk much, just kept taking pictures all the way to the top. When I couldn’t stand that situation any longer she showed her photos to me. And I was amazed. When I saw the flowers, they weren’t the flowers I thought they should be. When I saw the pine trees, they were just a lot more adorable than what I know. When I saw the sky, I finally noticed how many diverse shapes the clouds can change to. Then I realised how little I knew about the world, the environment we live. And they are just worth being noticed more and praised more than we used to. Finally, I got to know the real fun and value of photography. Probably it’s not the truth of photography to all photographers, but I believe to see, to care and to love the world indeed adds the value of photography. Therefore, ever since from that day, I care more, love to see more, and I’m passion about finding out the beauty around us.
本文按照題目要求完整地,條理清晰地敘述了單反相機的基本信息和特點,又運用一個與一個愛好攝影的女生之間發(fā)生的故事自然流暢地描繪出單反相機帶給作者的影響,緊扣題目要求。常州朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)名師希望考生把握精髓,學(xué)習(xí)表達邏輯和條理,把自己的想法和經(jīng)驗加以組合加工,活學(xué)活用。
