Good evening，晚上好，又到了學(xué)英語的時間了！昨天對MET BALL的吐槽，你覺得好玩兒嗎？因為昨天的工作量比較大，今天一天都有點江郎才盡的感覺……所以我們今天就不玩兒花活兒了，我們再次回到雅思口語考試的本身。從上個月雅思口語考試的高頻考題里面，我找了一篇范文，在這給大家做一個口語示范，題目是，Describe an APP that you think is useful，描述一個你覺得有用的APP。這篇范文講的APP是google map，谷歌地圖。To organize a short oral speech about google map, you should say: What it is What contents it has How you use it And explain why you think this app is useful. Now, let's take a look at the example. Sample Answer （以下空行只為方便跟讀，并非原文分段） Since I am keen on travelling and I have been travelling to many places, the most useful APP I have used is “google map”. I downloaded this APP three years ago, but i didn't find it very useful until i left China for Japan for a trip last year. It was a backpack trip with my best friend. We could not speak a word of Japanese and neither do we understand it, but we still managed to find the way to all our destinations by using google map. We checked up all the routes in the app and it recommended the quickest or even customized routes, which saved us a lot of time and money. If you use this APP, you can choose your preferred way of travelling, regardless of by walking or driving. The google map can always offer you a best route, and can even tell you when the next bus is coming. What’s more, the map can guide you the way with a gentle female voice, which reminds you of the next step you take. If you choose to go to a place by transportation, the google map will provide several plans for you to choose, as well as details of which metro or bus to take, and also which stop you should get off. Apart from that, the google map will also tell you how much time it will take you to get to your destination, thus, you will have a clear idea about the departing time. For me, this APP was one of the most useful apps on my cellphone, making sure that I won’t get lost in another place. 好了，這篇范文就是這樣。文章比較簡單，語言點就不單獨拿出來講解了。但是在大家開始跟讀之前，我要和大家再說兩句，關(guān)于雅思口語考試的選題問題。以這篇文章為例，他的好處在于，非常事無巨細(xì)地講解了google map的幾大功能，非常切題。但它也有一個壞處，就是講全部篇幅用在了羅列功能上。如果我來重寫這篇范文，我會把google map的幾大功能濃縮在幾句話里，然后在后面加上一個自己使用google map故事。一個雅思的考官，每天要面試那么多學(xué)生，也許到了你的時候，他已經(jīng)比較疲勞了，所以我們在布局謀篇的時候千萬要注意這個說話的藝術(shù)，一定要有趣，抓人；如果拿這么一個范文去考試的話，考官不會覺得你wrong，但肯定會覺得你dull。誰要聽說明書嘛對不對。如果你能融合進(jìn)一個google map幫助你在外旅行的案例，比如行程超級匆忙又遇上了大雨天，還好有g(shù)oogle map；或者是你通過google map進(jìn)而跟一個外國哥們討論到了中國的防火墻、censorship，那肯定會讓考官對你刮目相看?？傊?，就是要有故事。 So this is for today, 今天就是這樣，謝謝大家訂閱收聽。深圳范圍內(nèi)需要一對一、面對面的雅思口語、職業(yè)英語口語指導(dǎo)的同學(xué)，記得來找我。記得我的qq號，34703659，qq或者qq郵件預(yù)約皆可。See you tomorrow。
