雅思口语P2基本话题答题实例讲解--地点类话题

在雅思考试的 part 2 部分，地点类话题是必考的话题类型之一，在回答地点类题目的时候，很多烤鸭回答的时候都把重点放在了如何形容这个地点上，弄得通篇答案都在描述这个地点如何好，如何难忘，但是却显得毫无内容。地点类话题虽然说浅显，但是要得高分也还是得用到一点技术的!下面总结了地点类话题一般会提问到的问题，然后通过范例给大家讲解一下如何在地点类话题中拿高分!

有意思的公共场所 Describe an interesting public place that you like to visit 最喜欢的公园 Describe your favourite park in your city(town)

在看到题目的第一瞬间，烤鸭们就要在脑海里形容 3 个 W 的答题思路：

1. Where is this place?

既然是地点类话题，那么肯定会问到这个地点在哪里?虽然一般是第一小问，但是依然不好回答!因为考验的是烤鸭的方位形容能力!烤鸭们除了要知道东南西北之外，还有熟悉一些方位词汇的运用，比如说 opposite, close, near，以及一些介词的用法 in, on, off 等等.

2. When did you go? & Who did you go with?

为什么要把这两个点放在一起说呢?因为这两个问题一般都是出现在前 3 个小问中，只要求烤鸭直截了当地把内容说出来就好，不用绕太多圈子，多说反而显得啰嗦累赘!再者，有一些语速偏慢的烤鸭，如果在前面 3 个小问中花费太多时间来回答的话，最后一问的答案中内容就会拓展得不够充分，甚至有可能完全没有提及.

3. What‘s special about this place?

这两个问题就是重头戏了!遇到地点类话题的时候，如果烤鸭单纯描述这个地点是如何好或者如何地令人难忘，其实是一个很空泛的回答，比如说描述 park 的时候就谈到在大树下乘凉，谈到 library 的时候就说里面的书很多。这么 cliché的东西，实在是没什么亮点!因此，能够 specifically 指出你在这个地点做了什么，或者是这个地点中的某些事物是你觉得有什么不一样的，回答就会瞬间有内容多了!比如说，烤鸭在聊到 A café or restaurant that impresses you 这个话题的时候，是不是就可以说一说 café 里面的 drinks 或者是 restaurant

里面的某个食物呢?这样一来是不是就具体多了?

范例：

Describe a place you stayed for a short time and want to visit again.

You should say: where you went;

who you went with;

how long you stayed there;

And explain why you would like to visit the place again.

The place I stayed for a short while and would like to visit again is Hong Kong Coliseum. I went shopping with my friends in HK some time ago and went there during our short stay in that city. I spotted that world-renowned venue on our way back home and decided to check it out. Since we were in a hurry, I stayed there for less than an hour.

where & when & who 的经典搭配，烤鸭不用花费大篇幅去描述前三问，在范例中，几乎每一问都直接一句话带过，要的就是这种简单粗暴!

It looked like an upside-down pyramid or a white diamond from outside. I’d heard that it cost almost there hundred million yuan for the construction and renovation. So I thought its interior must be splendid, with marvelous sound effect and incredible lighting. But during my short stay there last time, I never had the chance to experience that. This is the main reason why I would go back there again.

这一题，实际上烤鸭就在描述香港体育馆的 interesting parts, 从外观上看，这个地方就像一个金字塔或者一个巨型钻石, 建筑费用高昂，而且场馆内的声音和灯光效果都十分出色，通过描述出来了这些 interesting 的地方，表现了自己对这个场馆的浓厚兴趣。

Another reason is that I would like to visit there again for a music concert. In fact, almost every Chinese knows it coz it is frequently mentioned in entertainment news when referring to a concert. Indeed, as it seats as many as 10,000 audience in all directions, each Hong Kong singer and singers from mainland as well are eager and proud to give a concert there. Naturally, it attracts music lovers of all age groups, especially young people like me.

Apart from pop music concert, once in a while, there are some orchestras performing there. And some important ceremonies or galas will be held there too. As an orchestral music fan, I would like to know how an orchestra sounds like in that specially designed place.

在范例的最后两段中，则是通过在这个地点进行的活动来说明为什么“我”会想再来参观：

除了能够听到来自香港和大陆音乐人表演的 pop music concerts 之外，还能看到 orchestras 表演和一些重大的活动庆典，并且“我”本身也是一个音乐迷，因此会希望能够 visit this place again。逻辑清晰, 内容丰富，这样的回答想不高分都难啊!

地点类话题其实并不算难，只要掌握了答题技巧，要拿高分其实也很简答!但是，无论是怎样的答题思路解析，都离不开烤鸭们的不断练习。把学到的答题技巧反复运用练习，才能培养出流畅的口语熟练度和灵敏的反应分析能力!
