　　老师在讲解中详细说明了套用模板的问题

　　其实考官一听就知道谁是在背诵啦

　　我们明明有不错的语言能力

　　为什么不能自己去描述呢?

　　毕竟是共度时间最长的家人

　　能回忆起来的还是很多的

　　但是绝不能将一件件事情罗列在一起

　　一定要对于事件做充分的扩充

　　解析：

　　很多同学人物类话题喜欢使用模板，上来就是外貌描述，然后是性格，等等等等，然而这样的描述完全不自然，很容易听出来是背诵或套用，请尽量避免。我们说的所有内容都要与话题相关。

　　这个话题明显需要讲的重点是在一起，那么一起做什么就会占到2分钟的大部分篇幅。需要避免讲得太杂太散，导致没有连贯性。需要把相关的内容放在一起讲，围绕一个点，讲几句话，然后再讲另一个点。这是一种常用的PART2的技巧。

　　举例来说，很多同学想讲妈妈，那么，不要说，跟妈妈在一起偶尔逛街，偶尔聊天，有时候妈妈做饭给我吃……这样描述生硬而且简单，不能达到表现语言水平的目的。需要在每个内容上做一定的扩展(细节，原因，结果，举例等等)，并且在词汇上加以提升，挖掘出每个内容可以涉及的亮点(词汇、搭配、语法结构等)，从而达到我们表现语言的目的。

　　范文：

　　I’m going to talk about my mom, because I spend most time with her at home. Actually, we don’t do anything special together, but I feel relaxed, comfortable and safe with her.

　　We often have meals together, especially the dinner. Mom cooks for the family and I often help her in the kitchen. I would say she is a good cook, although her cooking is not comparable with the chefs’ in top restaurants. However, on top of all the common dishes and traditional Chinese food, she knows some secret recipes that are really fantastic. More importantly, mom would adjust the flavor of the dishes to my liking. I guess that’s why I have been used to her cooking and the balanced, nutritious diet.

　　Mom and I also talk quite a lot. Unlike other mothers, my mom tries her best to find common topics with me, although we obvious have a generation gap. I can tell that she really cares much about me. She would ask me questions about the animation series that I watch as well as the bands that I listen to. When we watch TV together, which happens quite a lot, we would talk about the story line and sometimes try to speculate plots and even the ending of different characters. We don’t always reach an agreement, however, it’s great fun.
