2019年1月5日雅思口语考试回忆及解析

　　Film stars

　　相关词汇：

　　domestic films 国内电影

　　imported films 国外电影

　　filmgoers 影迷

　　blockbusters 大片

　　1. Who is your favorite film star?

　　Actually I wouldn’t say that I have one particular favourite, and if I'm completely honest I'd have to say that I don’t really pay much attention to film stars'names or who they are and that kind of thing, I just like watching good films I'm not really bothered about who the actors or actresses are.

　　分析：此题回答难度不大，可以正面回答最喜欢的电影明星是谁，然后拓展一下此明星的背景、参演的电影以及你为什么喜欢ta。也可以参考前考官的答案， 直接说没有最喜欢的电影明星。

　　加分词汇：Actually; particular.

　　地道表达：if I'm completely honest…坦诚说….; I’m not really bothered about…并不介意….

　　2. Are film stars from overseas famous in your country?

　　I think young people might be quite into film stars from overseas because they tend to watch more international films and especially Hollywood blockbusters and things like that; older filmgoers are a bit different though, they probably prefer watching domestic films rather than imported films so older cinema fans are less likely to know foreign film stars.

　　分析：此题相对于第一题难度会大一些，这里有些表达必须要会，比如“好莱坞大片”的表达，“国内电影”和“国外电影”的表达，同时还要学会同义替换。

　　加分词汇：blockbusters 大片;filmgoers 影迷, 常看电影的人;

　　地道表达：be into… 喜欢;

　　加分短语：tend to; be likely to; domestic films 国内电影; imported films 国外电影; prefer…rather than….

　　3. Which do you prefer, international film stars or film stars from your country?

　　As I said earlier I don't pay much attention to film stars but If I had to choose I'd probably pick someone from my own country simply because I'd be more likely to see that person in the media, you know like being interviewed on chat shows so I'd be more familiar with that person.

　　分析：此题涉及到比较类考点，如果你的回答选择了一方，需要重点说明原因。

　　加分词汇：probably; simply.

　　地道表达：chat shows 访谈节目;

　　加分短语：be familiar with…; be likely to….

　　Festivals

　　相关词汇：

　　Spring festival 春节

　　Lunar New Year's Eve 除夕

　　the Lantern Festival 元宵节

　　Spring Festival Gala 春节联欢晚会

　　spring festival couplets 春联

　　1. What is your favorite festival?

　　Just like most Chinese people, my favourite festival is Spring Festival, which is also known as Chinese New Year. It's the main one in my country and most people have quite a nostalgic connection to it, so yeah without doubt, Spring Festival is my favourite.

　　分析：此题难度水平较低，主要是要掌握中国各类节日的英语表达。The Dragon Boat Festival 端午节;Double Ninth Festival 重阳节;Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节;National Day 国庆节。

　　加分词汇：nostalgic 怀旧的; 乡愁的;

　　地道表达：without doubt; be known as…..

　　2. How do you celebrate this festival?

　　Well typically in my country this festival is all about spending time with family so we all congregate at a relative's home and spend one or two days there eating home-cooked food and just chatting up with each other. The main focus of the festival is being with family so that’s precisely what we do – spend time with our relatives.

　　分析：此题从内容上来讲不难回答，难就难在一些表达方面，比如“春节团聚”、“拜年”等等。

　　加分词汇：typically; congregate 聚集; precisely

　　地道表达：home-cooked food; chat up 聊天。

　　3. Do you celebrate festivals from other countries?

　　There are certain festivals such as Christmas and Halloween, and we sometimes have parties with friends to mark these festivals but we don’t really celebrate them in the same way that we celebrate festivals from our own country, we don't take them very seriously they are just an excuse to have a party.

　　分析：此题难度不大，估计很多同学能第一时间想到的是圣诞节。难点在于如何表达除了圣诞节之外的国外节日，比如万圣节Halloween，复活节Easter等。

　　地道表达：certain festivals; mark these festivals 度过此节日，庆祝此节日。

　　加分语法：in the same way that…that 引导的方式状语。

　　4. Where do people usually go during festivals?

　　As I mentioned before, for almost every Chinese festival we traditionally spend time at home with family. But in recent years this habit is shifting slightly – young people are increasingly choosing to spend festivals abroad, travelling on holiday. I think this is because they see festivals as time-off work so it’s a perfect opportunity to go travelling. So a lot of younger adults go travelling but older people will still opt for spending time with family.

　　分析：此题还有一种问法就是大家节日会干什么，其实回答的内容差不多。此处前考官给的答案稍微提及了一下年轻人和年纪大一些的人的不同选择。大家在回答类似问题时可以参考，这样回答内容得以拓展延伸。

　　加分词汇：traditionally; shifting slightly 有所改变;increasingly。

　　地道表达：As I mentioned before(这个是很好的discourse marker话语标记语, 雅思口语评分标准里有此要求，大家要学会使用);time-off work休假时间;opt for选择。
