雅思口語Part 2 《奇裝異服的人》的重點(diǎn)在于“clothes”而非“person"(內(nèi)附答案)
你怎么認(rèn)為這最新一季的考題?奇葩?還是just so so? 不得不說從話題的定語部分來看,這一季度part 2話題會(huì)比之前的來的更具挑戰(zhàn)性一些。不過在我看來,不管是多么具有挑戰(zhàn)性的話題它都有破局的方式,拿今天的話題《奇裝異服的人》來舉例:
Describe a person who wears unusual clothes
You should say:
Who the person is
What the person’s unusual clothes look like
Why the person wears unusual clothes
And explain how you felt about the person
一旦涉及和服裝相關(guān)的話題,很多同學(xué)都會(huì)認(rèn)為這道題的整體難度系數(shù)就會(huì)上調(diào),究其原因不過是“和衣服相關(guān)的詞匯是你的知識(shí)盲區(qū)而已”。除此以外,過分的放大這個(gè)人也會(huì)加大你對這道題的思考。
為了更好的完成這道題目,首先你要注意,這道題的重點(diǎn)是在于“clothes”中的“appearance”而不是“person”,所以請先不要對號入座具體的某一個(gè)人,而是先拆分一件衣服的“appearance”再從對應(yīng)的維度里制定可以有的思考。
衣服的外貌大致可以拆分成這6大塊:
Size 大小
從大小來看,如果一個(gè)人喜歡穿超大款的衣服就可以是unusual的;如果一個(gè)人喜歡穿超小,超緊身的也是unusual的。
Color 顏色
從顏色來看,如果一個(gè)人喜歡穿的五彩斑斕的就可以是unusual;如果一個(gè)人就酷愛某一種顏色的衣服也可以是unusual的,但這種顏色肯定不會(huì)是黑白灰此類的保守色號。比如,有一個(gè)英國老奶奶酷愛綠色,所以她全身上下全是綠色,包括鞋子襪子。
Shape 形狀
從形狀來看,如果一個(gè)人喜歡穿一些非常規(guī)形狀的就可以是unusual,比如:圓形/長方形/體型/愛心形/手型等。
Material 材料
從材料來看,如果一個(gè)人的衣服都是由非常規(guī)材料做成的話也可以是unusual,比如:塑料/鋼板等。如果是塑料,也可提到它的透明性(transparency),這樣也會(huì)讓衣服變得更為大膽。
Decoration 裝飾物
從裝飾物來看,如果一個(gè)人的衣服上有各種怪異的東西也可以是unusual的,比如:蔡康永的衣服上會(huì)出現(xiàn)鸚鵡/烏鴉等玩偶;如果一個(gè)人的衣服經(jīng)常對自己改造加了一些特殊的創(chuàng)意也可以是unusual的,比如:歌手黃齡,她總是喜歡將衣服剪出破洞變成自己喜歡的樣子。
Style 風(fēng)格
從風(fēng)格來看,如果該衣服和現(xiàn)在普遍的服裝不同風(fēng)格也可以是unusual的,比如:洛麗塔風(fēng)格,古風(fēng)等。不過此角度我并不是特別推薦,因?yàn)闈h服,洛麗塔服飾會(huì)是多數(shù)雅思考生的首選。
明確了“unusual clothes”的思考方向后,現(xiàn)在我們就可以逐一解答每個(gè)小問題的拓展方向。
01
Who the person is
有些同學(xué)可能會(huì)解決選擇什么人物,但其實(shí)人物角色不受限,但受限的是在第一小問的角度拓展上。鑒于這道題有關(guān)“a person who wears unusual clothes”,我們在內(nèi)容的拓展上需要盡可能的扣題以免答非所問。以下有這么幾個(gè)角度可供參考:
Occupation
從職業(yè)來看,這個(gè)人的職業(yè)可以是和時(shí)尚搭邊的,也可以沒有任何聯(lián)系性。如果你也打算從“occupation”著手來拓展第一小問,請注意你需要繼續(xù)往下拆分出和“occupation”相關(guān)的角度來給出更多的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容。
Example one:
A person that comes to mind is my friend, Anna, who is also my classmate. Both of us are majoring in Finance, however, she is really into fashion, so during her free time, she does some modeling job.
Example two:
A person that comes to mind is my friend’s friend, Amanda. She is a famous stylist 造型師 in China and she works with many well-known celebrities in my country. Because of her job, she also has a great fashion sense and all her clothes are very unusual compared to mine.
Hobby
有些愛好和服裝是有關(guān)系的,比如:做衣服或者看時(shí)尚雜志。為此,愛好也是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的引導(dǎo)來開啟一整篇話題。
Example one:
A person that comes to mind is my friend, Anna, who likes to wear unusual clothes. Actually, she is really good at sewing 縫制(衣物), so she designs and makes most of her own clothes.
Example two:
A person that comes to mind is my friend’s friend, Amanda. She is really fashionable and she loves reading fashion magazines. There are piles and piles 一堆堆的 of them in her room. She has been into fashion for over 10 years and clearly has a unique and classy 高大上的 sense of style.
Personality
喜歡穿奇裝異服的人有著一顆躁動(dòng)不安的心,他們往往喜歡追求刺激,嘗試新鮮,感受未知。
Example :
A person that comes to mind is my friend, Anna, who likes to wear unusual clothes. I have always thought she is a very unique person who likes to take risks. She likes to try new things and doesn't like to conform to "normality" 符合正常.
Age
年齡也是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的拓展方向,尤其如果你想聊的是一個(gè)老人的話。我們可以在年齡的后面加上連詞“but”, 這也就意味著這個(gè)老人有著和自身年齡不符的特性。
Example :
A person that comes to mind is my neighbor, an old lady who is in her 80s. Even though she is a bit old, she doesn’t look her age 看起來不像她的年紀(jì), as she wears trendy 潮流的, stylish 時(shí)髦的 clothes.
Home address
這個(gè)角度比較怪異,但卻是我近期的最愛。一般而言,每個(gè)人都會(huì)有一個(gè)家庭住址,但有一類人卻沒有。為此,我喜歡從這個(gè)角度著手來闡述一個(gè)特殊的群體—流浪漢。其實(shí)流浪漢里真的有很多穿著奇特的人。
Example :
A person that comes to mind is a homeless person. He used to sleep in a park next to my neighborhood. I never talk with him but from his appearance, I can tell he is approximately 40 years old. He drifts around 四處流浪 alone with his dog.
02
What the person's unusual clotheslooklike
針對此小問的解答,我們就需要用到之前已經(jīng)拆分過的有關(guān)衣服“appearance”部分的內(nèi)容。你可以挑選其中的1-2個(gè)點(diǎn)對其衣服進(jìn)行闡述。
Example one:size+color
She has a very bold 大膽的 dressing style. She likes wearing ripped jeans 破洞牛仔褲 and all her tops 上衣 are very short, tight and sexy.
She is also into vibrant colors 鮮艷的顏色. She likes wearing clothes that clash 沖撞. I remember once she wore a red top with yellow overalls 工裝褲 and green shoes. The colors really made her stand out and people on the street stared at her.
Example two:material+decoration
Her clothes are very unique because of the material she chooses. She doesn’t like normal material like cotton or silk, she prefers plastic and most of her clothes are made of it. Some of them are even transparent 透明的.
At the same time, she likes to choose things to decorate her clothes with, like a big Barbie on the back or zips 拉鏈 up and down 到處都是 the sleeves 袖子.
03
Why the person wears unusual clothes
不管你是否知道這個(gè)人為什么喜歡穿一些奇裝異服,我們都可以從“unusual clothes”本身所具備的特性出發(fā)來回答這個(gè)問,而此類衣服帶來的主要兩點(diǎn)優(yōu)勢在于:
Make people stand out 脫穎而出
Show one’s personality 展現(xiàn)個(gè)性
這兩點(diǎn)原因基本符合大多數(shù)弄潮兒的想法,除此之外,有些人穿的稀奇古怪可能并非自身真實(shí)的選擇。比如:流浪漢可能是無奈之舉,他沒有衣服穿只好將所有他能穿的衣服都穿在身上。
Example :
At first, I thought she likes to wear unusual clothes because she wants to stand out from the crowd, but after talking to her, I realized that her clothes do not represent her. She wears those clothes for her work. As a stylist, she has to meet and work with people in fashion so she needs to make a good impression.
04
How you feel about the person
因?yàn)椤皍nusual”本身就是一個(gè)褒貶不一的單詞,所以我們在回答最后一問時(shí)也就可以從正反兩面進(jìn)行作答。
你可能會(huì)認(rèn)為這樣的人很大膽是你學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣,因?yàn)樗麄儾粸槭浪籽酃馊プ非笞约合矚g的東西;你也可能認(rèn)為他們的時(shí)尚太過頭,在日常的生活里還是要回歸平常才比較適合。
Example :
I think she is a very brave person and also my role model. When you wear unusual clothes it is easy to get judged by the public, but she doesn’t care, she just ignores the comments and does what she wants to do. Because of this, she never feels depressed. Instead, she uses her clothes to show off her personality and she is proud of it.
Example :
Actually, I am not really judgmental and I also know it is everyone’s freedom to choose what they want to wear, but I still think it is unsuitable to wear these type of clothes if you are not going to a fancy party. They are uncomfortable and draw people’s attention. To some extent, I don’t think it is a good thing to be too noticeable.
看完了以上4個(gè)小問的拆解后,現(xiàn)在你就可以來完成屬于你自己的答案啦!
