刷过雅思真题听力部分的同学,仔细回想一下,应该都能体会到,雅思听力篇章素材,尤其是section1和section2部分,其实和雅思口语考试话题内容高度重合。
这意味着,雅思听力中的语料,包括词汇短语句型思路等,都可以拿来备考口语。
而最为关键的是,听力语料内容全都是native speaker最地道的表达方式,而且还有录音作为参考,帮助我们提升语音语调。
简言之,精学听力内容,不仅提升备考听力,更能火力全开地提升备考口语, 简直一箭N雕。
今天我们来回顾一些雅思听力section2的内容,并学习使用其中的语料来备考练习雅思口语中关于“旅游和自然风景”类话题。

1.We only need to walk with a small rucksack withneeds for the day.
Walk with a small rucksack with needs for the day:随身只背一个装了当日必需品的轻便帆布袋。
2.Apart from these spectacular snow-covered peaks and valleys, there are marvelous historic villages.
Spectacular/marvelous:壮观的,令人称奇的;这两个形容词很频繁地被native speaker用来形容美景;
Snow-covered peaks and valleys:被皑皑白雪覆盖的山峰和峡谷。仅仅一个短语,马上可以在听者脑中留下形象可视化的美景印象,这样的语言,是口语考官乐于听到的。我们在实际表达中,还可以灵活变为“被绿树/红花/青草/落叶覆盖的山坡/峡谷/平原”等等。
3. We stay near there for a rest for Day Seven because then comes the hardest day, walking through very mountainous country, but culminating in a swim in the Water Falls.
Walking through very mountainous country, but culminating in a swim in the Water Falls: 穿越连绵不断的山林乡村之后,以跃入瀑布畅快游泳来结束行程。这听来,多让人向往哈。
4.We deliberately keep the visitor groups small in size to minimize disruption to people and landscape.
Keep the visitor groups small in size to minimize disruption to people and landscape: 把旅行团队人数控制到较少的数量,尽量不影响破坏到当地的人文风景。
在雅思口语part1和part2部分,每期考题都涉及到描述旅游及自然风景的话题,有很多同学想描述自己欣赏山川美景的经历,但表达起还是不熟练,其实我们完全可以学习选用甚至照搬上面的语句,使自己的表达听起来自然生动有感情。
比如我们来描述一下游黄山(或其它名山)的部分片断:
My trip to the Yellow Mountain was extremely challenging and we had to be physically fit enough to climb to the mountaintop, so each of us just walked with a small rucksack with needs for the day ……
After reaching the summit, we could overlook all the green pine tree-covered peaks and valleys around, and what amazed us most were themarvelous mountain peaks, which have different kinds of shapes and sizes like artworks by skilled craftsmen ……
In such spectacular natural scene, we slowly culminated in a cable car to the mountain foot at the end of the day. And of course there were still full of people who were about to climb up and see the next day’s sun rise at the mountain top ……
I kind of worried that so many visitors there would disrupt the landscape, and the local government or some organizations should try to limit the numbers and sizes of tourist groups ……
所以你看,我们在听力语料中轻松地挑一挑选一选,再结合我们自己的经历,一篇有景有感有情的口语表达轻易就出来了,多方便多实用呢!
接下来我们再来学习一些其它听力篇章中的语料,这些语料可以用来备考雅思口语地方景物类话题,如“公园花园”等。
The formal park has some specially-created water features. If you look out here to the south, you can see a circular ornamental pond. (C7T4S2)
Specially-created water features: 特创的水乐赏玩设施;Circular ornamental pond: 圆形的观赏池塘;
公园里有湖,有池塘,湖里有鸭子,塘里有鲤鱼精呢,这是我们生活中司空见惯的景象,但可能描述起来还是不熟练,所以赶紧学一学练一练哦。
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there’s a dog-walking area in the southern part of the park, leading of from the path. And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to the flower garden; that’s the circular area on the map surrounded by paths. (C9T2ST)
Around to the west, you can relax and sit on a bench to smell the flowers in the rose garden. (C7T4S2)
公园里有溜狗的地方,有小路环绕的花圃,有玫瑰园,有长椅。溜完狗狗累了,可以停在花圃前拍拍照,可以坐在椅子上闻闻花香。这些都是简单日常的语言词句,但是说出来就是一番极具画面感的生动景象。若开口如此,你的口语考官怎么能不被你打动感动呢。
