2013年1月5日雅思口语话题重现
Describe a language that you know (other than English and Mandarin)
You should say
What the language is
When you first heard about it
Who you knew it from
And explain why you like this language
【真题解析】
本题要求描述一门除了英语和普通话以外的语言，即我们所说的小语种，如果光从“语言”角度出发，是比较空洞的，我们考生要做到的就是把比较抽象的概念换成具体的概念来阐述，这个思路是贯穿整个雅思口语考试的始终的，不论是part1(可能较少出现抽象题型)，part2(偶尔会有比较难描述的内容)，还是part3(基本上都是抽象又有深度的问题)，我们都应该把答题的方向落实到实处。
小语种这个话题，其实说哪种语言都是差不多的，日语的话可以和自己喜欢的动漫(favorite TV program)等联系起来，法语可以联系喜欢的法国电影(favorite movie)，或者名人(CoCo Chanel, Luc Besson 等名人)，亦或是建筑(historical building, such as Eiffel Tower, Chateau de Versailles, etc.)，其实说白了就是一道抽象的“物品题”，运用联想法，把之前准备过的内容进行合理的套用， 充分利用好两分钟的 时间，给考官一个最好的印象。
【Sample Answer】
Well, I guess the language I’d like to describe today is French. It is said to be the most beautiful language in the world, and I’m really fascinated by French. When I was in secondary high school, I watched a movie called Amelie. Basically it tells a story about a shy waitress, played by Audrey Tautou, who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while still struggling with her own isolation. In this typical French movie, I found colorful scenery of the city, which is totally amazing to me. What’s more, when the actors and actresses started to talk in the movie, the language sounds so attractive and I suddenly fell in love with it.
Since that moment, I have been dreaming about studying in France someday in the future. So I decided to take some part time French courses. And my parents also support me pretty much because they believe it is not enough to speak English and speaking French can help me to live a better life in the near future. So I’ve been learning French for about 5 years and now I can use French as a communication tool so it’s not a problem for me to talk with my French friends.
As far as I am concerned, French will become more and more popular in the next 20 years and I’m so proud that I can speak both English and French. So basically that’s the reason why I like French.
