考题点评:
1月份给考生们最大的感觉就是“让暴风雨来得更猛烈些吧”,新题的数量是巨大的,准备的时间又是如此紧张,但值得欣喜的是,很多新题还是可以给老题加个前缀,直接替换上阵的,比如A subject you were asked for information 就是那个A subject you don’t like的姊妹篇,而family business上个季度在课上给大家的素材就是这个月出来的高频地点题A restaurant,抽到这题的我的学生们真是笑了。其他题目的套用在课上也会做进一步讲解。
当然,新题月大家备考的关键不是精益求精,而是保证每道题目至少清楚what to say,切题的内容加上清楚的逻辑即可。
下面是对贱贱的较难套用老素材的高频题A movie you dislike 的语料补充:
Describe a movie you dislike
You should say:
What it was
Where you watched this movie
Why you chose to watch it
and explain why you dislike this movie
相关的词汇:
1. Box office 票房
2. Star 主演
3. Guarantee 保障
4. Plot / storyline 故事情节
5. Adapt 改编
6. Eye candy 花瓶(虚有其表的演员)
7. Scene 场景
8. Costume 戏服
9. Let alone 更不用说
10. Line 台词
11. Main media 主流媒体
我们讲到喜欢的电影,可能走的就是一个feel,说不清道不明,但是说到不喜欢,那可以千言万语啊:剧情狗血,台词无脑,演员猥琐等等。
我就吐槽一下张导的电影《满城尽带黄金甲》吧,尽管《三枪拍案惊奇》好像更牛逼的样子。
欢迎大家交流补充那些年被坑的电影票啊O(∩_∩)O~
样例:
(What, Where, Why)
Speaking of a movie I dislike, I want to talk about a wellknown movie which is called Curse of the Golden Flower( 请记一下这个高大上的翻译). It’s directed by Zhang Yimou, who is somehow the guarantee of box office in China. That’s why I went to cinema to watch it, but the result turned to be awful.
(Why dislike)
Firstly, the storyline was so terrible. This movie was actually adapted from a classic Chinese drama called Thunderstorm(对,这个片子是改编自著名的话剧《雷雨》), so it’s supposed to be charming and amazing, but turned out to be extremely boring and even made us a little bit confused. I believe it’s because the director focused too much on the splendid scene and gorgeous costumes while neglected the plot.
On top of that, though this movie invited many leading actors and actresses, I guess it’s somehow ruined by an eye candy XX(这个演员名字真心随大家开心,就算接机黑你上铺的兄弟也OK啊). In this movie, he starred an important role. I should admit that as an actor, he is pretty handsome, but when it comes to acting, to be honest, he has got no talent at all. Every time when he was talking, he was like reciting lines, let alone his horrible Kongfu action.
The last thing I want to mention is that from this movie I realize that taste can be so different from culture to culture. Though this movie was criticized by the main media in China, it’s listed the Top 10 movies of the world in 2006 by Times. (眼光就是这么不一样,这片荣登2006年《时代》杂志全球十佳电影,所以,每个人都是不一样的烟火啊,只管绽放,必有人爱)
