雅思口语话题需扩展细节

对于雅思考试口语部分的 描述题，不少考生表示自己可说的内容很少，所以2分钟的表达就显得非常枯燥，根本没有什么实质性的东西。其实不然，考生在描述题的考试中，如果考生注意拓展细节，把语言的表达方式变化多样，那么在描述题的考试中将能够令人眼前一亮。我们以"描述你在特殊场合穿着的衣服"这个话题为例。如果仅仅描述一件衣服，那么可说的内容很少。但是如果我们更加专注于如何描述这件衣服的背景故事和增添一些比较地道的描述，那么实际的效果是大不相同的。仅以下文为例，供广大考生参考。

Describe a piece of clothing you wear on a special occasion

Key points: Graduation, school, pink dress, accessory,

Actually, in my high school, students are required to wear the school uniforms each day at school. Everyone looks the same to a great extent.【程度的描述】 No one's special. So after a while, we all have the similar physical features. Baggy pants, oversized jackets, and big glasses on our faces, 【生动的描述】of course【自然的语序】. Lucky enough【选取比较自然的连接词】, we had a graduation ceremony, and the high school allowed us to wear something casual 【转换词性】on that very day.

For this special day, I picked up a really nice dress. My mum and I found it at an elegant shopping mall, which was stunning in the store window.【还是细节描写，而且增添了背景故事】 I had my eyes on that dress immediately. It was a pink dress with a black leather belt, which was neither too fancy nor too formal.【加入形容的部分】 It boasts an graceful cutting style with a U-neck shape. Somehow, it reminded me of a typical Chanel dress.【加入了西方文化背景知识】 My mum said it might be too mature for my age, but I believe it was OK.【自然地加入自己的态度和看法】 Now think about it, I guess I was eager to be an adult at the time, so wearing a dress that pretty could significantly improve my confidence as a 18-yr-old young lady. Besides, the color was perfect for my skin tone.

Actually, a look is never finished without the right accessories.【除了衣服以外增加一些小细节，有助于丰富所描述的整体内容】 I chose to wear the pearl necklace and a really nice pair of beige 【稍微"高级"一点点的词汇就可以】leather shoes. Not surprisingly, I got more than my fair share of compliments 【地道的描述方式】at the graduation ceremony on that day.

在雅思考试口语描述题中，非常不建议学生背诵范文。学生可以平时多多积累好的表达方式和各种地道的词汇及用法，然后尽可能在口语练习中进行不断地练习和提高。

附雅思口语话题素材：父亲节

雅思口语话题中常有关于节日的考题出现，几乎每年的考试都有出题，中国的传统节日和西方的节日都有出现过，出题的比例相当。今天为大家送上父亲节的话题素材，仅仅供考生参考。但请记住考试时一定要用自己的语言组织表达，千万不要生搬硬套。

Father's Day

Third Sunday in June

6月的第三个星期天

父亲节在美国

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official

day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special。

父亲节的来源

The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington。

父亲节的推广

The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated

the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!

Regardless

of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother。

父亲节的选定

In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached

her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart。

父亲节的制定

States and organizations began lobbying(游说)Congress to declare

an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June。

父亲节的庆祝

When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical(奇形怪状的，异想天开的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad。

考生可以平时多注意积累一些节日的相关表达和词汇，特别是中国的传统节日，有些词汇非常少见，考生需要扩展词汇，以应付雅思口语考试。
