作者吴雨浛:新航道武汉学校雅思口语讲师,毕业于上海外国语大学英语专业,大学期间获得英国莱斯特大学两年交流机会,在英国学习英语文学专业(BA English Studies)并获得第二学位(the second full-degree)。具有扎实的学术功底,并把知识融入到课堂之中,由浅入深,能让学生充分感受到地道的英语以及深厚的英国文化。
在题库中,我们基于题目的“外表”将其分为四类:人、事、物、地。然而,在串题的时候我们需要考虑到话题的“内在”共通性,将其重新分类,甚至有时候需要打乱。比如,我们不能问“事件类”可以讲什么事件,因为这个问题会过于宽泛。而根据“内在”规律,我将题目分为以下类别:
1. Celebrity
2. Ordinary people
备注:人物类的题目在于分为名人和普通人,而这两种题的作答思路大相径庭。地点类同理。
3. Outdoor place
4. Indoor place
5. Party
备注:party话题涵盖了涉及到以下关键词的题目: festival, gift, meal,这些题或是正在考,或是已经考过
6. Sport + Skill
备注:这两类看似不同,实际思路非常相同,这也就是为什么在本季度里有些题目,有些老师表示既可以和运动串,也可以和技能串
7. * Online shopping
备注:这是本季度我新增添的一类,替代了以前我的’Electronic products’
前面六大类可以说不管怎么换题,我都基本保持不变,每次换题可以以不变应万变,既能减少换提季大班ppt的较大改动,又能使提前上课而后续考试的学生能有收获感。以下我会分开具体讲解。
Celebrity vs. Ordinary people
将名人和普通人混谈为人物类,会使得我们在课上的重点在于讲解“如何描述人物性格、外貌”,从而致使有些题目的根本讲不通,因此需要把这两类分开串题。
名人类的思路:achievement - quality - charity - private life (可以回想2018年的所有考过的都适用:成功的商人、运动员、喜剧演员,一直到在考的singer or band)。本季度直接确定为名人类的题目有2个:Describe a band or singer you like, Describe a famous person from another country that you are like to meet
然而通过这个思路4个方面的展开之后,也可以串一些题。从achievement出发:Describe someone who has interesting ideas or opinions, Describe an intelligent person you know. 从quality出发:Describe someone you wanted to be similar with when you were growing up; Describe a person who encourage you to achieve a goal, Describe a person you know who speaks a foreign language well. 从charity出发:Describe someone who is beautiful or handsome.
当然,除了两个名人的母题,这里为学生提供这个思路之后不需要强行规定他“这一题一定要讲名人”,我们会发现其中有些题用“普通人”的思路也讲得通。所以我们只用提供思路,要讲什么的自由可以留给学生。
普通人的思路:difficulty - advise - decision - achievement。我面临一个困难,某人帮助我(或给建议),我下定决心,最终取得成功。这样的思路使得普通人不再是人物类的题,而是一个四部曲的“故事”(帮助或者被帮助的故事),因此,如果上面我列在名人类的题目如果学生觉得符合这个思路的也可以当做普通人来讲,除此之外,还有当季的:Describe a time you gave advice to other, Describe someone you would like to work or study with, Describe a friend’s success you were proud of, Describe an interesting old person you met.
Outdoor place vs. Indoor place
也可以称为大小地点。Outdoor place通常和traveling紧密联系,侧重点在于如何介绍城市、描述活动、风景。而这里涉及到的具体技巧我会在下一篇教研文章谈到——在大班课,节课我都是将outdoor去帮助学生建立基本技巧和逻辑体系。而indoor place在于考察对建筑外观(exterior)和内部环境(interior)的描述,而在讲内部环境的时候我们会提到空间分布和装修装潢(well-furnished and well-decorated)。
Sport vs. Skill
A组:“一个想尝试的运动”和“一个想学的技能”;B组:“一个擅长的运动”和“一个学了很长时间的技能”。看似不同,也出现在不同的考季,但是思路却非常相似——A组分为“过去,现在,将来”;B组整个时态往前推分为“过去的过去,过去,现在”。也就是说这两个组都可以分为三个阶段:为什么想学(过去)- 准备什么(what)以及准备怎么学(how)(现在);学了打算干什么(将来)。而B组保持内容不变,时态往前推即可。
写在最后:如何做到“串题不能像串题”
首先为什么需要“串题不能像串题”。大陆押题严重考官也会相应给分手紧,也就是说如果考官察觉到考生有背题甚至备题嫌疑,最终就不太可能有满意的分数,因为雅思口语考试是考察“交流能力”而不是“背书能力”。
并且,许多题如果使用一模一样的内容,则根本讲不通,甚至让考官觉得你根本没有早回答问题。如何提高效率同时回答自然,是我们一定要在串题的时候给学生提到的。而我的方法是:30s自由作答,即正面回答关键词,这里我希望学生能在每个题目开始的时候自由发挥,既会让考官觉得the candidate is answering the question,也会让学生的答案比较自然,不像背书。而大概到自己觉得没什么话讲的时候,学生可以采取以下几种过度句:I’d like to say.../I shouldn’t forget to tell you ...(还有许多课上会补充到)然后再开始说母题准备好的内容。
因此串题这件事不能本末倒置:为了省事而最终被压分。因此我们在课上,需要训练学生串题中30s直接回答关键词的能力。
