4. Describe a memorable wedding that you attended
You should say:
When it was

Analysis:
在雅思口语考试的机经题库中,以wedding为主题的问题分别出现在了第一部分和第二部分,在第一部分中,题库中的考题有,what's the typical chinese wedding like? What do people usually wear in the wedding? …这些题目相对而言比较的简单,在答题中简单展示出中西文化差异即可。但是在第二部分中,很多同学看到wedding这个话题时会觉得很难表达,其实这个话题仅仅是描述一次参加婚礼的经历即可,雅思专家建议各位同学拿到话题之后,就马上开始根据wedding这个关键词做brain storming, 在脑海中可能会出现的词:rose petals, lovely balloons, red carpet, wedding candies, bride and groom, exchange the rings, exchange vows…有了这些单词,接下来就是组织语言的工作了,事件题相当于是一篇口述的记叙文,各位考生可以把记叙文的六大要素(when, who, where, beginning, plot, ending)融入进去,并且可以在其中点出自己最难忘的一个场景之类。例如:I think the most romantic part was the time when the newlyweds were taking the wedding vows. The groom said to the bride,”I love three things in the world, the sun, the moon and you, the sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever. “ And the bride said to the groom, “ To the world, you might be just one person, but to me, you are my whole world.” Those words touched everybody's heart. 这个场景中出现的两段话,其实在我们的日常生活中,各类的英语美文中随处可见,雅思专家建议同学们可以有意识的准备一些类似的小段子,用在自己的口语考试中,为自己加一个亮点。
雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导
全球雅思考试按照时区划分为四大考区:(1)亚太(含中国),(2)中东北非俄罗斯东欧,(3)英国法国荷兰德国,(4)美洲考区,同一时期全球范围内的笔试考题是按照一定规律在全球范围各考区内轮换,而全球雅思考试的口语试题题库基本上是一样的。在整个2012年5月份的考试中,各位考生要注意的part 2考题有,polite manner, wedding, foreign country, something expensive you want to buy, small business, street, part 1 中study & work, language, hobbies之类的话题各位同学要格外注意。
因为5月份是雅思考试题库调整月,所以在全国范围内,5月的考题比之前的几个月稍微增加了个别的新题,但其实各位考生在遇到所谓新题时,首先要思考下,是否可以和之前准备好的旧题进行转换,因为目前出现的所谓新题无非就是新瓶装旧酒,只要大家能够灵活运用知识,就一定能够完美应对。
雅思专家在多次与雅思口语考官进行访谈后,建议所有考生一定要加强对口语的练习,在考前一个月左右要进行集中强化的练习,从语音语调,语言组织和连贯性上进行联系,并且各位考生一定要熟悉考试前三个月内的所有口语考题,做好准备,总而言之,语言贵在积累,practise makes perfect!
