Hello~大家新年好!这是这个板块今年第一次和大家见面,首先祝大家新的一年开开心心,健健康康,顺利和雅思/托福分手~
今天跟大家分享的还是雅思题目,因为雅思题目基本是反复循环,而托福口语的变化比较大,所以托福口语的新年第一次更新大家可以期待一下1月7号的考试题目哦。
今天的题目是个老题,话题是个人品质,大家可以思考一下,如果问到你的特质,你会说什么呢?可以先想想中文,再考虑怎么用英文的逻辑进行转述。
Describe a character or personality of yours.
You should say:
What is it
How it affects your life
Where you get it
And how you feel about it
通常在拿到这种题目时,我碰到的学生大多数都会想自己的一个优点,但是有时候你的特点并不需要是优点,可能是缺点,也可能是你的某些和别人不同的地方,这样一来思路是不是拓宽一些了呢?
所以在这一次的回答范例中,给大家说出的是不太算得上优点的特质,我们一起来看看吧。
首先开头点明,是什么样的一个特质(第一问),可以再用简单的一句话形容一下。
Well, laughter is my mark. If you know me at all, you'll know that whenever I hear or see someone laughing, the giggles come at me like jumpy spider.
*jumpy spider
跳跃的蜘蛛,这里形容自己就好像被蜘蛛跳到身上弄的痒痒的,乐不可支,是不是很形象吖~
接着就可以将容易发笑这样一个特质结合自己的生活来谈谈,看看对自己的生活有什么影响(第二问)。
I don't even need to know the subject! Even someone with most terrible laugh can infect me easily. A cackle, chuckle, giggle, chortle, guffaw-you name it!
*cackle咯咯笑
chuckle轻声笑
giggle嘻嘻笑,傻笑
chortle哈哈大笑
guffaw狂笑
*You name it你想到的都有/都干得了,常用于口语中
And if I knew the subject, it would be stuck in my mind for the next half hour; all it would take is a simple mention and I'd burst out in what seems like to most people, excruciating pain.
在上面这部分中,我还分了两种情况,一种是知道原因的笑,另一种是毫无理由的笑,有不同的表现,显得更加真实。
除此之外,我们还可以加上一个比较细节或稍微有些夸张的故事,将这一个特点表现得淋漓尽致。
I do laugh in my sleep. The most recent occurrence was when I was half awake and my boyfriend came in for a morning cuddle and I drifted back into that light dream state where something funny happened on the TV I was watching in my dream. I giggled and my boyfriend thought it was creepy.
*drifted back飘荡,在这里指“神游回”梦中
最后一个部分可以谈谈自己怎么会有这样的特质(第三问),以及自己的感受(第四问),整个回答就完整、有趣又有新意啦~
I don’t know where I get it from but I like it, because it make my life happier than most of people around me.
I love life and no matter how shitty it canbe, there is always something absurd or outright hilarious that you can laugh at. Laughter is the physical manifestation of joy and I have a lot of joy in my heart. So I laugh all the time.
*manifestation表示,显示
好啦,快乐的时光总是这么快,今天的题目就讲完咯。今天将这道老题再拿出来讲,是希望大家不要看到老题就放松,因为考察老题是比较难拿高分的,想想考官都听过这么多场次的考生回答过了,都审“美”疲劳了吧。
所以平时在练老题的时候可以多想一些角度,让自己的回答有新意,才能让考官觉得有趣,考官高兴了才能给你高分吖,谁不喜欢听好笑的故事呢?
如果担心自己的回答太开脑洞,会偏题的话,可以在微信上留言给我哦~我们下期再见啦,See u~
