大家好,今天我们一起来看一道非常经典的也是很高频的雅思口语第二部分的经历类话题,描述一次你起的非常早的经历(Describe a time you got up extremely early.)。首先,我们先一起用5W的方法来搭建一下这个话题的框架。
When
这件事情发生在哪一年?具体是什么季节?什么节日?或者是有什么重大的事件你必须要早起处理?在讲when的时候,我们其实可以为后文埋下伏笔,因为这个话题我们会发现很难讲长,因此需要添加大量的细节。
所以这里我们可以故意说冬天的清晨起了个大早,很冷很困很饿,外面天还很黑,看到的景象有什么特色,这些都可以为后文做好铺垫,也能够带来很多细节的描述,从而达到增加答案篇幅的目的。
Where
谈到where,顾名思义,我们要讲清楚这次经历是在哪里发生的?这就需要我们根据自己的答题素材来设定场所:比如我们讲的是早起看日出,那肯定就是发生在山顶上;
如果我们的素材讲的是早起看足球比赛,那肯定是发生在家里或者酒吧;如果我们的素材是关于早起赶飞机赶火车,那这次早起的经历发生的地点很可能就是酒店,家里或者是车站机场。
Who
你和谁一起经历的这次早起?或者可以理解为谁叫你起床的?这里的who讲不了太多内容,只需要一带而过即可。
这里的时间段也决定了这个话题的时态是一般过去时,大家要注意把控好时态和动词的变化。
What
这是这个话题的一个重点,我们要讲清楚这次早起的经过是怎么样的,还要说清楚早起以后感受如何?是否很疲惫?很困?同时,为了添加更多答题细节,我们还要说清楚这次早起之后我们看到的景象如何?
例如清晨五点的新街口和早上九点的新街口有什么区别?我们具体能够看到哪些景象?可以具体描述一下大街上车子的数量,天空的颜色变化,行人的多少等等。
Why
这又是本话题的另外一个答题重点。我们要讲清楚这次早起的目的是什么,这个点也要根据我们的答题素材来写。比如早起赶飞机赶火车,早起去接朋友,早起赶考试,早起看日出看球赛等等。
好了,搭建完思路以后,我们再来一起看一看这个话题的具体的答题素材,来为大家进行一下补充。首先,对于男同学来说,早起看球赛是很好的一个素材。
因为欧洲五大联赛,包括欧洲杯世界杯等大型赛事,都跟我们国内是存在时差的,很多比赛都是凌晨3:45或者4:30开赛,因此,很多球迷朋友们都会定闹钟,起个大早来看比赛。
我们可以为这个话题设置两种不同的结局,happy ending:最终你支持的球队赢得了比赛,你很开心,同时自己买的足彩还赚了不少钱,一箭双雕,因此这次早起特别值得;sad ending:自己喜欢的球队惨遭失利,同时自己还赔了钱,觉得这次早起特别不值得。
除了早起看球赛之外,我们还可以讲在山顶上早起看日出,结局同样可以设置成两种:很幸运,看到了壮美的日出,这次早起很值得。
运气太差,早起,等了很久,最终乌云密布,阴雨连绵,没看到日出,特别遗憾,以后再也不想起这么早了。
此外,我们还可以讲早起去赶早班飞机,因为一般起飞时间特别早的航班价格都很低廉,为了省钱,我们就要早起去赶飞机。
好了,今天的分享到这里基本结束了。文末为大家提供了一篇范文,希望对大家有所帮助,我们下期专栏再见。
Describe a time you got up extremely early.
You should say,
When does it happen,
What time did you get up,
What was your feeling,
And explain why you got up so early.
Speaking of the experience that I got up extremely early, it really reminds of the time when I climbed the Yellow Mountain three years ago. I remember it was during the Christmas in 2017, I went traveling to Yellow Mountain with my best friends, Jack. We planned to take some great pictures of the sunrise at the mountain top. We checked the exact sunrise time the night before climbing and set an alarm clock to wake us up. On the next morning, to be more specific, at 4 a.m., the alarm clock rang and we were woken up. It was so early in the morning and both of us felt quite sleepy and were reluctant to leave the warm bed. However, in order to take the photos of sunrise, we finally got up and found a perfect position total pictures. After setting up the camera properly, we began to wait for the coming of the magnificent sunrise. You know, it was in winter, on the top of the mountain, it was really windy and freezing, both of us wrapped ourselves up and kept warm. After a while, the sky started to get brighter a little bit, and we were so excited and kept staring at the skyline. With time passed by, however, we were totally shocked because it started to rain! We could not see the sun behind the thick cloud and we were so desperate since we had been waiting for the sunrise for nearly 1 hour. We felt so disappointed and sad that we ended up seeing nothing after getting up so early. We think this experience of getting up early was so useless. What a pity! In the future, we will never get up so early any more.
