在第二部分中,考生必须要进行两分钟的陈述。考官可能在两分钟快要结束时以一个过渡性问题来打断你,但你必须具备说两分钟的语言能力。换句话说,在这一部分中,流畅度和想象力是考查的重点。一些考生没有足够的观点和能力来维持两分钟的表达,这就意味着他们会在流畅度方面失分。
另外,虽然一些考生可以说足两分钟,却无法连贯地表达出一条清晰的理由或原因。而最常见的情况就是文不对题!比如说,要表述的话题是"描述一个你认为可以让世界变得更好的工作",但考生却不停地说他有多么喜欢篮球;或者话题是"描述一个你将来想去的地方",考生却谈及自己去年去海南的经历。
除此之外,如果考生没有组织好语言、让听者无法理解,也会失分。
以"电影"这一话题为例,如果想有好的表现,那么流畅的表达就至关重要。要做到流畅,你需要有足够多的词汇和观点,而且还要努力避免卡壳,比如你在脑海中寻找合适词汇时所出现的停顿。
下面就来看看考官会如何作答吧!
题目:拯救大兵瑞恩 Saving Private Ryan
Well, actually1, the kind of films I like best are probably2 the older ones. For example3, one of my favourites is Saving Private Ryan. I think I like war movies and I particularly like that one, I suppose4 because5 the acting is excellent with Tom Hanks6 and a bunch of other people who are really really good. It’s a good story but I suppose the thing that is most impressive for me is that initial opening scene where the troops are actually landing in Normandy on the beaches. It’s very meaningful for me because my dad was in the Second World War and also because I visited those beaches in Normandy7. It’s easy for me, having been there8, to imagine what those guys were actually facing as they came off the landing craft and had to face a hail of bullets from the German machine gun posts. And I think the other reason I really like that film is because it represents America when America was great, when America was at its best. Around the time of the Second World War, I think America was a beacon (灯塔) for many countries. It seemed to be freer, and more powerful, more hopeful, more optimistic as well as gutsy9 (勇敢的). It seemed to offer more pleasure for human beings as a nation and to be less cluttered up by old traditions that weren’t very useful any more. So I think that’s one of the reasons I really like that film10 because it represents the best of the US whereas now I guess the US is a bit more in decline.
学习要点:
1. 控制好说话的节奏,给自己留出思考的时间;
2. 使用副词可以增加表达的准确度,所以不要吝啬使用;
3. for example 就像一个符号,标志着你的表述即将进入具体直观的部分;
4. 用I suppose 代替了I think。平心而论,后者我们已经用得太多了;
5. "因为……所以……"是表现思想逻辑的最基本形式;
6. 如果能够熟练说出几个外国名人的名字,就能给考官留下一个更好的印象,也使得你的回答更具有个人特色和可信度;
7. 将话题与个人经历联系起来,增加了真实性和故事性;
8. 分词短语作插入语,使得语言的节奏感和灵活性跃然纸上,希望你能重点模仿!
9. 通过这种排比式的强调,既可以使语言更有说服力,又可以展现丰富的词汇;
10. 回答要有头有尾!不必进行过多描述,但保证完整性是有效交流的必要原则。
