雅思口语part2扩展之WH细节描述法

雅思教学的过程中，当问到学生雅思口语三个部分的考试哪个部分最难以对付时，大多数情况下雅思考生会认为Part 2是最令人头痛的部分。现在Part 2的话题越来越细化、刁钻，虽然有1分钟的准备时间，但在雅思考试紧张的环境下，大部分学生都称“脑子是空白的”，以导致不充分的准备让1-2分钟的描述变得非常的惨白，无奈收尾，给雅思考官的感觉始终印象不深刻，无法达到通过细致的描述想亲自尝试的意愿。

通过分析学生Part2的回答范例，发现不少同学要么仅将话题卡中给的问题提示作以简单回答，要么使用较为明显的模板回答方式---也就是老师常说的无关紧要的话，来填塞内容上的空白。如”If I really have to choose a place to describe, I’d like to tell you that …. issuch the place.” 这也是中国学生雅思口语在40个国家和地区垫底的原因之一。在这篇文章中，将总结出雅思口语Part 2描述题的拓展策略。

WH细节描述法

当考生在面对话题无从下手时，可以利用 ”WH Questions”来引导思路的拓展，包括 “what, when, where, who(whom),why, how (how exactly, how often, how long, how much, how many)”。

例如，Describe a restaurant or cafe you like. 首先须明确what(theBookworm)，when(some five years ago), where (down the south ofChengdu)，who(foreigners for most of time);其次是整个描述的重点why(comfortable, pleasant,intimate )，how exactly (detailed description of being comfortable, pleasant, andintimate)，how often(once a month…)，how much(30-40 yuan on average perperson)，how many(3 in Whole China)。

但是，需要注意的是，在回答中，不可机械地按照每一个WH来作答，否则描述同样会非常死板乏味，即需要灵活自然过渡每一个WH。

Sample answer：The Bookworm is my favorite cafe in this city, which is about15 minutes drive from the Tianfu Square down the south, and unlike other fancycafes in the downtown, it sits in a quiet surrounding. The Bookworm was born 5years ago with the help of a journalist, who soon became the business partnerand co-owner of Chengdu Bookworm. During these years, it’s been popular andwelcomed by almost every foreigner in Chengdu. I guess it’s probably because thecafe is really the place that can make them feel at home, ranging from the food,coffee, inside decoration, and those books written and published from theircountry.

The Bookworm creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, offering its customershome style food and drink. When you get annoyed from a trouble in study or atwork, having a rest at Bookworm will be the very pleasant thing to chill out.The greatest part is the live music every Friday night at which you can enjoythe best jazz and blues. There are three Bookworms in China, Beijing has thirst, and Chengdu and Suzhou follow the step, therore if you‘re taking a tripto Beijing or Suzhou, you can still have the opportunity to enjoy the nicelittle cafe. I like the cafe, for it’s the place where I can relax, eat, drink,read and enjoy music.
