作为环球雅思一线的口语老师,每当讲到雅思口语(ielts speaking )的part2 人物篇的时候,总是能听到 “ Okay, I am gonna talk about blablabla.., he is famous , and he is very famous in China…。”若是这样讲,你只能得5分左右。你给考官examiner的第一印象the first impression 是你的口语词汇不行,有点太boring了。Whatever ,老外是这样讲。
She is huge .
这个huge 有“巨大的,庞大,极大的”意思,修饰人,表示此人很出名,名气很大。在历年的雅思口语考试中 , 几乎都是有
describe a famous person
describe a singer or band in your country
describe an actor
describe a leader you admire
describe a good student
describe an old person …
这里就不一一列举,总而言之,描述人在某方面很著名, 是个大牌,所以你就可以说 :
Well, the famous person I am gonna talk about is __who is really huge … 。这个huge就生动得多, native得多。
这里不妨分享下一部英文电影<< Sunset Boulevard >> ,中文翻译过来是《日落大道》。对白如下 :
A: Gloria Swanson actually used to live here …
B: that’s right , she was huge!!!不拉不拉,大抵如此的。
怎么样,下面老师告诉你下,我在国外工作的时候啊,老外还会这么说出名,著名:
He is really well-known.
He is pretty known to all.
He is a typical household name.
He is a big name…
在平常上雅思口语课的时候啊,很多徒弟讲事件describe an event的时候,不少中国烤鸭讲 “ hey,the bad weather is so unexpected .” 。其实他想说的时候, “ 这真是太突然了”。 那老外有一句更经典地道的 叫 “ out of no where “ 常在英语国家听到。比如大家常被在part1 被问到一个题
Examiner:
Do you like watching ads on TV?
你就可以如是说:
Definitely not ! by that I mean, the annoying TV commercials are full of fraud , they sometimes come out of no where 。you see, I would be bugged a lot.
这样,至少是天上人间,其实,口语就是这样,it is Easy as ABC.
事不过三,今天就给大家奉献三个极其地道的phrase,第三个就是在雅思口语中经常说到 “太忙了, 我很少去。。。”。大多数中国烤鸭们总是说 “ so busy “ . 而老外都是这样讲:No time for oxygen.
忽然间想起那部经典美剧( Gossip girl 绯闻女孩)的对话啦
A: Eleanor put me in charge. And it is really a big deal. Honey, breathe.
B: No, no time for oxygen. I am late. Oh, and I forgot my homework.
当地人还会这样讲:
I am tied up .
My hands are full.
I am really in the middle of my stuff.
I am up to my neck on sth.
I am really busy as a bee
I am really busy as a beaver.
加油guys,祝大家屠鸭成功!
