雅思口語(yǔ)話題之思路解析

介紹一首你最喜歡的歌曲，是雅思口語(yǔ)考試歷年來(lái)?yè)Q來(lái)?yè)Q去都換不走的一顆釘子戶，在part 1和part 2里面披著不同的外衣反復(fù)出現(xiàn)。關(guān)聯(lián)度較高的話題有“music”,“musical instrument”,“singer”等等，相關(guān)詞匯和表達(dá)可以互通。

首先，通過(guò)英文定義確認(rèn)大致選材范圍。“song”一詞在牛津和朗文字典中的定義均為“a short piece of music with words that you sing”，因此最妥當(dāng)?shù)姆秶且懦恍┘円魳?lè)，例如鋼琴曲或一些沒(méi)有歌詞(lyrics)的現(xiàn)代編曲作品等(對(duì)于這一點(diǎn)，烤鴨們最好額外長(zhǎng)個(gè)心眼喲，因?yàn)槟切┍豢脊購(gòu)亩x上糾正“National Day is actually not a festival, it’s just a HOLIDAY”的同學(xué)們很容易反應(yīng)不過(guò)來(lái)其中區(qū)別的)

其次，“去專業(yè)化”，盡量避免生僻的專業(yè)音樂(lè)詞匯。雖然題眼詞匯是“歌曲”，但是如果側(cè)重選擇歌曲本身的一些特征去描述，顯然就是自己給自己設(shè)定難題(當(dāng)然，如果非常熟悉相關(guān)詞匯的考鴨們除外)。比如“這首歌的主歌(verse)部分幾乎使用的是純?nèi)寺暫铣?acappella)，副歌(chorus)部分則加入了一些R&B的節(jié)奏(rhythm)”這樣的描述相信多數(shù)同學(xué)是不愿意嘗試的。

因此，將重點(diǎn)放在這首歌對(duì)我們的生活產(chǎn)生的影響或在生命里占據(jù)的位置是比較明智的思路。例如周杰倫的《稻香》是一首與夢(mèng)想和家庭有關(guān)的歌曲(第一小問(wèn))，每次一聽(tīng)到這首歌，都會(huì)想到自己小時(shí)候?yàn)榱俗约耗骋粋€(gè)夢(mèng)想而奮斗的畫面，而這首歌的歌詞也常常提醒在異鄉(xiāng)打拼的我，家是我的港灣，如果累了就回家看看(第四小問(wèn))

【解題難點(diǎn)】

1)關(guān)于第二和第三兩個(gè)小問(wèn)，需要注意的是時(shí)態(tài)上的切換——尤其是第二小問(wèn)“when youlistened to this song for the first time”從動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)上就提醒了各位同學(xué)，要用過(guò)去時(shí)描述這一段內(nèi)容。答題時(shí)除了提及大致的時(shí)間(例如I listened to the song for the first time 6 years ago)還可以對(duì)那時(shí)進(jìn)行一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的場(chǎng)景擴(kuò)充(例如when I was a high school student, one of my roommates used hismobile to play that song loudly in our dormitory at 6 am - right after we wokeup)

2)如果是一首中文歌，歌名應(yīng)該是說(shuō)中文還是英文?個(gè)人建議有三，各位烤鴨各取所需：一，如果本身它就有一個(gè)比較官方的英文名，就直接英文名上陣;二，如沒(méi)有，可就地翻譯一個(gè)：任意抓取歌名中的一個(gè)詞進(jìn)行翻譯，例如周杰倫的《告白氣球》如果不知道告白怎么說(shuō)，就直接用“氣球”的英文“the song is called the Balloon”即可;三，如果不愿意翻譯，直接中文名上陣也行，然后在后面加上一句簡(jiǎn)單的解釋，說(shuō)明一下大致意思就好了。

雅思口語(yǔ)話題之范文

I‘d like to talk about a beautiful song called the Balloon from Jay Chou, one of the famous pop singers in China.

As a very typical pop song, the Balloon talks about a romantic story happens between a young couple who live in a city in France.

I remember that I listened to the song right after it was released in the summer of 2016. As a huge fan of the singer Jay Chou, I bought that newest album and downloaded it into my mobile without any hesitation. After listening to every single track in the album, I found the Balloon was absolutely the most impressive one with a fairly catchy melody and decent lyrics.

During that period of time, I often played the song at home or in the office, sometimes I even replayed it for the whole afternoon just because it seemed that everyone around me thought the lovely rhythm of the song would bring him or her a good mood. By the way, it could also remind me of the old, sweet days I had back in Australia.

However, recently I seldom listen to this song simply because Jay Chou has published some new hits in this January and they are of high quality as well.

As for the reason why I like the Balloon so much, I believe it’s mainly because it’s one of the best hits of Jay Chou in recent years and it proves that he’s still an excellent singer. You know, before the advent of the song, numerous people started to criticize him for not being as creative as he was. But I do believe he will actually come back with better works in the near future.
