前幾天我的學(xué)員情緒激動(dòng)地跟我講了一下她口語考場上的經(jīng)歷??脊偃瘫砬樨S富,而且經(jīng)常一臉困惑和不解。無論她回答得多么有激情,考官都是用很奇怪的眼神來回應(yīng),追問的問題也都不簡單。
其中有一個(gè)問題是:Do you know the history of your country well?
我的學(xué)生回答完yes之后,考官說:那你講一段中國的歷史吧。
哈哈哈哈哈!這是什么神奇的考官??!part1就讓考生講一段中國歷史可還行?我真的笑了。更搞笑的是,我這位學(xué)員一緊張想不起來,竟然杜撰了一個(gè)人物,隨便編了個(gè)故事,也算機(jī)智。畢竟考官也不大可能真的很懂中國歷史啦~
說到這兒,給各位一個(gè)考場小貼士:無論考官問出什么出人意料的問題,我們都要保持面不改色,從容應(yīng)對,不要怕他,答就完了!答案的真實(shí)性沒那么重要,流利度和反應(yīng)速度才重要。
我們接著講故事。
我那位會(huì)編故事的學(xué)員考試當(dāng)天part2考的是“描述一位有禮貌的人”。
雅思口語考試之考官眼神
這道題其實(shí)難度不大,大家只要注意把握好時(shí)態(tài),多用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)來描述這個(gè)人為什么禮貌就好。比如,溫柔的媽媽,對陌生人講話的時(shí)候很有耐心不急躁。和自己的家人也很少發(fā)脾氣。
“I would say my mum is the politest person I have ever seen. She is always patient when she communicates with strangers like salesgirls in supermarkets and waiters in restaurants. That is totally a behaviour that would make people feel comfortable. Besides, she also seldom loses her temper to her family. We all enjoy chatting with herand sharing our sorrows with her since her voice is so comforting and she is definitely a good listener.”
姑娘跟我說part2她答得還不錯(cuò),但是part3被問到了奇葩問題,一道我之前很懷疑是否會(huì)考的題目:Who do you think are politer, people from cities or those from the countryside?
城里人和農(nóng)村人,誰更禮貌?
請問,這是什么題啊?出題人腦子是進(jìn)水了嘛?考官腦子里的水也是沒倒干凈才會(huì)問出這種問題。而考生們,如果回答任意一方更有禮貌都是在犯傻,因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人禮貌與否根本與地域無關(guān),教養(yǎng)問題本質(zhì)上是性格問題和個(gè)人選擇的問題。
結(jié)果,我的傻姑娘就答成了城里人更禮貌。答完之后,考官投來了疑惑的目光,給我這位姑娘看得一臉懵。
沒想到的是,接下來考官又問了一個(gè)很類似的問題:Which country’s people are the politest, in your opinion?
這一次,我的姑娘學(xué)乖了,她說“禮貌與否跟國籍無關(guān)”。終于!考官投來了贊許的目光,微笑點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。
這兩道題我給大家一個(gè)答題參考:
1.Who do you think are politer, people from cities or those from the countryside? To be honest, I don’t think being polite is related to where people come from. Some people may consider that people from cities are politer since they have more chances to receive a good education and they are taught to treat people nicely. That’s not true. I have seen many citizens who swear in an awful way in public and humiliate people who come from small places. I have also seen many nice and gentle people who come from the countryside. I am sure that there are both polite and rude people everywhere. It’s hard to make conclusions.
2.Which country’s people are the politest, in your opinion? In my view, it’s hard to say which country’s people are politer than those from other countries for the reason that being polite is a matter of personality and choice. Some people are taught to be polite from a young age. However, they may also get mad in some special situations. Can we say Japanese people are the politest? No, we can’t. We don’t know all the Japanese people and we don’t know what they can be like when they lose control. Anyways, being politeis not related to nationality.
今天的第二個(gè)小貼士:遇到奇葩問題,挑戰(zhàn)了你以往認(rèn)知的問題,不要怕回懟??脊俚膯栴}不一定科學(xué),但我們的回答要不卑不亢,立場堅(jiān)定,千萬不要被問題帶跑偏。
希望大家能做個(gè)機(jī)靈的考生,在考場上釋放魅力!加油!詳情咨詢老師即可~
