描述一件你喜欢穿的衣服
这张卡需要外观描述,而这恰恰是大多数考生没有练过的词汇。
话题卡
Describe an item of clothing you like to wear.
You should say
- what it is
- where you got it
- when you wear it
- and explain why you like it
准备1分钟 · 最多说2分钟
如何说满两分钟
是四个节拍,不是四个答案。卡片上的提示只是脚手架——一段自然流过这些提示的讲述,比四个互不相连的回答得分更高。
- 它是什么,包括颜色、材质和剪裁——至少三个细节。
- 你是怎么得到它的:买的、继承的、别人送的、捡到的。
- 你什么时候穿、什么时候不会穿——场合决定了它。
- 你为什么喜欢它,这通常与它给你的感觉有关,而不是它的样子。
这张卡适合用的词汇
词汇丰富度占你分数的四分之一,而7分的标准明确允许偶尔用错词——一味求稳、只用简单词汇,正是很多人卡在6分的原因。
it goes with everything
人们留着衣服的实际原因
worn in
用于穿久了变舒服,而不是穿坏了
smart
英式用法:适合正式场合
it suits me
与“it fits me”不同——值得展示的区别
hard-wearing
用于耐穿的材质
I practically live in it
形容经常穿的地道夸张说法
这张卡的陷阱
说它是“a blue shirt”,然后就没什么可补充的了。
材质、合身程度、穿了多久、新旧状况、从哪里来。一件衣服五个细节,放慢速度就能讲满一分钟。
一个8分回答,以及它为什么有效
读它是为了看清其中的技巧,而不是背下这些话。考官每个工作日都会听到背诵的答案,这会体现在你的流利度分数上——背诵者的停顿方式和真正在思考的人完全不同。下面的细节都是虚构的,你的回答应该讲你自己的故事。
The item I'd describe is a wool coat I've had for about nine years, which is dark green, heavier than anything sensible, and now slightly too big for me. I bought it in a sale at the end of a winter when I couldn't really afford it, and it's outlasted every other coat I've owned by a decade. What I like about it isn't how it looks, particularly. It's that it works. It's genuinely warm in a way that modern coats seem to have given up on, and the pockets are deep enough to carry a book, which sounds trivial and isn't. It's been repaired twice — there's a patch under one arm that doesn't quite match and a button that's a different green. I've been offered newer ones as presents and I keep not wearing them. I think there's a point where an object stops being a purchase and becomes something more like a habit, and the coat crossed that some years ago.拿到这个分数的关键
- 修补的痕迹——一块不搭的补丁、一颗颜色不对的纽扣——正是能证明这件东西真实存在的细节。
- “Stops being a purchase and becomes something more like a habit”是一个抽象的想法,前面的描述让它水到渠成。
- 通篇使用比较结构——“heavier than sensible”“outlasted by a decade”“warm in a way modern coats have given up on”——带来自然的语法多样性。
第三部分接下来会问什么
第三部分和你的长篇独白有松散的联系,但问题会变得抽象——问的是一般人,而不是你自己。这张卡之后通常会谈到:
- how much clothing reveals about a person
- whether fashion trends matter as much as they used to
- the environmental impact of fast fashion
其他“物品”话题卡
Describe a piece of technology you find useful.
人们很容易说出手机就停下。这张卡奖励的是更具体的东西。
Describe a gift you received that you liked.
物件本身不如它背后的关系重要,最好的回答很早就明白这一点。
Describe something you bought recently that you are happy with.
“最近”意味着你手头有真实的细节——用上它们,因为在这里含糊其辞一听就能听出来。
Describe a photograph you like.
这里你要描述两样东西——画面本身,以及它定格的那一刻。大多数考生只做到一样。
Describe something you made yourself.
一张过程卡。制作的顺序就是结构,这让它成为比较容易讲满的话题卡之一。
Describe an app on your phone that you use often.
很现代,很好聊,但也危险地容易答成关于社交媒体的泛泛之谈。
把这张卡说出来
Oliver会给你读一张卡,等你准备满一分钟,然后整整两分钟一句话也不说——这正是你一个人没法练的部分。之后的报告会分别给流利度、词汇、语法和发音打分。第一次测试免费。
