2017雅思考试口语解析四

　　Do you like to watch the sky?

　　Do you prefer the sky during the day or at night?

　　Have you learnt any courses about stars or planets?

　　Where is a good place to watch stars?

　　这是一个比较抽象的话题

　　所以我们总会觉得无话可说

　　其实一旦大家能够将这个抽象的话题具象化

　　会发现其实有很多能扩展的内容

　　1. Do you like to watch the sky?

　　你喜欢仰望天空吗? 对于这样一个yes/no 的问题，一个口语答题的常识就是千万不要给出yes/ no，后续的语言支撑才是重点。

　　喜欢看天空，喜欢什么时候看天空when I got nothing to do or have something stuck in my mind，在天空中你可以看到什么，crystal clear blue，clouds moving in an extremely subtle way，sometimes if I’m lucky，birds fly through in crowds 看天空时候你的感觉是怎样的it’s the most peaceful moment then get wandering . 对于雾霾比较严重的地区，还可以跟以前对比一下。内容的丰富度就会大大增加。

　　Example：

　　Well, to be honest, I used to love looking up at the sky all the time. When I had my mind stuck in somewhere or simply got bored, I would go out to a roof or somewhere I can quietly enjoy the crystal clear blue sky, with the clouds moving subtlety, sometimes if I’m lucky, I can also see birds flying through in crowds. It was the most peaceful moment and perfect for wandering with the breezes. But now with the fog and haze, there’s no way I can do that again.

　　2.Do you prefer the sky during the day or at night?

　　这是一道典型的对比类题目，这类的题目同学们首先还是要灵活熟练运用可以表述比较的语言： 比较级的用法more / less than , as ... as ,prefer 的名词性转变preference等。

　　其实本题的答题方向比较没有所谓，无论选择更喜欢白天或者黑夜，或者居中都可以。但切记不要选择其一而不表述另一方面。难点是找出可以对比描述的方向，比如白天因为有太阳更加明亮而且温暖so much brighter and warmer because of the sun，晚上有星星，更加静谧tranquil。接下来的sample answer中并没有给出一个明确的选择。

　　Actually, I don’t have any particular preference over this since they both got unique features. In the daytime, it’s so much brighter and warmer because of the sun, so it is more comfortable to have the sunbath while watching the sky. But it is not as tranquil or fascinating as it is in the evening with all those shinning stars blinking towards me.

　　3.Have you learnt any courses about stars or planets?

　　这是一道个人经历的题目，很多学生会陷入自己真实情况的困境，自己并无这方面太多的知识。其实雅思官方指导视频里面也明确的有说，编答案也是无可厚非的，毕竟考察项是同学们的英语表达水平，而并非是大家的知识量。当然如果同学们本身对星球星体这方面了解甚多，那就赶紧发挥你的脑容量小宇宙吧。

　　大家中学时期都是学过地理的，geography ，只不过地理上的只是简单的introduction，入门水平;此处可以和大家的实际情况相结合，如果是大学生或者高中的理科生，可以说很多都不记得了;但是大家平时还是会看一下这方面的新闻，最常见的就是流星雨。还有女生们比较了解的星座方面，往这个方向说会熟悉很多。

　　I kind of have. I memorized a range of introductions in my geography class. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can recall any of those detailed information any more. But I do read or hear some news mainly about the where to get the best views of the "shooting stars" or things like this quite often. And almost every girl I know never stops gossiping about constellation, such as who is a typical Virgo or how can one get along well with a narcissistic Sagittarius. This is pretty much all I know about the stars.

　　4.Where is a good place to watch stars?

　　这是一个信息罗列题目，罗列的是可以看星星的地点。

　　此类题目很多学生容易上来就给一大堆地点，但却忽略了将内容做一个分类，因此丧失了语言长度和难度上的加分。 而且既然是a good place，未必非要给出一个特定的地址，可以给一个分类，给出具体的描述。 地点可以分为市区的地点urban areas和郊区农村 suburban district or country side. 后续再描述具体的地方：比如the roof of the skyscrapers ，Closest place to the sky. 说明这些地方看星星的好处和坏处。

　　当然最开始的部分还是要给出一个总的回应。

　　Well, I guess it depends greatly on where one live. I mean, for someone lives in the suburban district or country side, with less lights and average height of the house, positions for a better view may not matter that much. However, for one form urban areas, it would be excellent to stand on the roof of a skyscraper or get in a planetarium or museum where a telescope is set. Unfortunately, I have never tried this.
