等待的话题是雅思口语part2中经常出现的话题,所以考生需要对此话题十分清楚,其实它也可以延伸到其他的话题描述中,因为雅思口语作答其素材本身就有很大的互通性,并不是一对一。下面我们针对具体的话题来看看吧!
首先,考生要知道“等待”这一话题其实是属于事件类话题的,那么也正是考生们比较容易备考的话题之一。一起来看看它的话题卡特点:
Describe a situation you waited for something.
You should say:
when and where it happened何时何地发生的;
what you waited for你在等什么;
how long you waited for it你等了多久;
and explain how you felt about waiting对于等待你是什么感受.
之前我们分析过事件类话题,在描述的时候无疑就是事件发生的时间,地点,人物和具体原因。其实我们也看过很多类似的话题无非就是这些答题点。而本话题更是涉及到了这几点。那么该如何作答呢?很多考生在作答此部分话题时害怕的不是回答什么,从哪些点回答,而是如何回答,回答什么内容。所以这也就告诉我们素材积累的重要性。下面一起来简单分析一下这一范文:
Ok right then, well after thinking for a little bit just now, what I’ve decided to talk about is the time I waited for a boat at the West Lake in Hangzhou. And as for when this happened, well I suppose it must have been about two or three months ago by now, and it was on a weekend, so we kind of knew that there would be a long queue for the boats! (对于第一、二两个问题的回答,问题1:具体的时间when: about two or three months ago by now, and it was on a weekend ;具体的地点where: at the West Lake in Hangzhou;问题2:what you waited for你在等什么——waited for a boat)首段基本已经把事件发生的因素交代的差不多了,但是至此不能草草结束,因为我们可以更加具体的描述事情以及后面的重要内容:
So yeah, when we got there, we were told that there would be a wait of about an hour or so, at least, which was what we pretty much expected. But we didn’t feel like twiddling our thumbs and hanging around for an hour doing nothing, so instead, what we actually decided to do was to get a ticket number first and then go for a walk around the lake, have lunch and then come back again in the afternoon. Do it that way!(对第三个问题的阐述how long you waited for it你等了多久)
And I’m glad to say that, when we went back later and showed the guy our ticket, he told us we could get on the next boat. So we felt pretty good about it, and it was quite a relief as well, because I mean, he could have told us that we missed our turn and would have to get another ticket number, you know, like they do in the bank. But thankfully, he took pity on us, especially after I’d said that we had waited for about 4 hours! So yeah, it all worked out pretty well for us, because we almost immediately got onto a boat. I’m not sure the other people waiting were very impressed, because it kind of looked like we were queue barging, but anyway, that’s basically what happened! 这里其实是对事件的具体细节进行描述,同时对问题3进行解释说明和补充,对事件的来龙去脉做更加详细的陈述,逻辑清晰连贯。同时在最后,也对问题4做了简单阐述:and explain how you felt about waiting对于等待你是什么感受,尽管等了4个小时但是结果还是令人开心的。
So that’s about it, thanks for listening! 结束语。
其实大家可以发散思维,这一话题在备考的时候也可以作为其他话题的素材,如“意料之外的事情”、“一件令人难忘的事情”等。关键在于大家的思考和总结。下面小编还从文章中为大家摘录了一些短语供大家参考:
