在雅思口语中遇见天气有关的题目,要如何作答呢? Well, just last weekend my plans were ruined by the weather. The weekends are usually when I’ll travel back home and visit with my parents and family, so that was my plan for last weekend. I’d arranged my schedule and made sure I didn’t have any studying or other things pending… I’d worked during the week to free up the weekend so I could relax and spend two days back home. But on Friday afternoon the weather started to change look ominous and by Friday evening, when I had planned to leave for home, there was an incredible storm which developed. The rain was torrential with a wind that was gusting and a lot of roads were reported as being flooded… and traffic stopped in various places in the city. I called home and spoke with my mother and she told me that it was the same there and that I shouldn’t travel in such bad weather because I might get delayed. I was a bit sad, but the weather was so bad nobody really wanted to go out at all. In fact the journey from the university back to my apartment was horrendous. The traffic was terrible and by the time I arrived I was completely soaked because of the rain, so I had to admit that travelling all the way home would not have been a *** art choice. I waited for a couple of hours to see if things would change, but it didn’t, so eventually I gave up on the idea and started to think what I could do instead. I decided to phone a couple of friends and see if they wanted to do something together, and so we got together on Saturday and we spent the day together and in the evening we went to see a movie and then went to a restaurant for a meal. The weather still wasn’t great, but it was at least possible to go out without getting absolutely soaked again. On Sunday, I decided to have a lazy day, you know… just reading, relaxing, and then another friend came to visit me in the evening and so we chatted for a while and then watched a movie in the evening. 上述答案的场景仅供参考 大可以根据自己的情况对某些场景进行替换 Tips1. ruin v. 毁灭,破坏(说天气打乱了我的计划用这个词语气很强烈) 2. arrange my schedule 安排我的行程 3. pending prep. 即将发生的(while waiting for something, or until something happens) 4. free up 腾出...时间 (=make available) 5. ominous /??m?n?s/ adj. 不祥的 (making you feel that something bad is going to happen) 6. leave for 动身去... 7. torrential /t??r?n?(?)l/ adj.(雨)倾盆的 a torrential downpour一场倾盆大雨 8. horrendous /h??r?nd?s/ adj. 可怕的,惊人的 9. soaked adj. 湿透的 (=extremely wet )

雅思口语Part1答案:Weather天气
1. What kind of weather do you like?
I love it when the weather is gloomy, or when it’s windy and the cold wind hits my face. I like it when it’s so windy that you could hear whistles. But unfortunately, I live in California so I only enjoy the weather for a short period of time, most of the time, it’s just a lot of humidity and hot weather.
我喜欢阴沉沉的天气以及刮风天风吹脸的感觉。我喜欢风大到能听到声音。但很遗憾,我住在加州,每年只能享受一小段这样的天气,大多数时间,这里是潮湿和热天气。
2. What sort of weather do you least like?
I hate the freezing days, it’s too tormenting outside I have to squeeze myself into the bloated clothes that make me look plump.
我不喜欢寒冷的日子。太难熬了,而且我必须把自己塞到厚厚的衣服里,看起来像个球。
3. What's the weather like in your hometown?
The weather is quite extreme here, actually. I mean it’s humid and scorching in summer and freezing cold in winter. Although spring and autumn are rather mild and delightful, they are normally too short even to notice.
其实,这里的天气很极端。夏天潮湿而且炽热,冬天非常寒冷。虽然这里的春天和秋天相对温和且令人愉快,但这两个季节短到几乎注意不到。
4. Do you prefer cold weather or hot weather?
My favorite season is winter. I usually enjoy snowflakes and play snowballs. I like to take a hot spring bath or make a massage in winter. Well, that would be fantastic! Summer sucks here because of the stupid hot weather; you can't play sports without sweating buckets.
我最喜欢的季节是冬天。我经常在冬天欣赏雪花,玩雪球。我喜欢在冬天泡热水澡做 *** ,这感觉太棒了。因为太热,这里的夏天特别恶心,做过运动之后想不大汗淋漓是不可能的。
5. Do you think the weather can affect people's moods?
Yeah it definitely can. Some people have a thing called seasonal depression where for example, during the winter months they are depressed throughout that whole period but they get better when spring comes along.
当然可以。有些人有一种叫“季节性情绪低落”的毛病,比如在冬季的月份里他们整段时间里都很沮丧,但当春天一来他们就变得好多了。
季节和天气一直是雅思口语的传统话题。在之一部分几乎是每次必考,虽然这类卡片在第二部分的出现率不是非常高,但也会不时突袭。从另一个角度来说,季节和天气的谈论可以贯穿到很多考题之中去论述。比如应对关于体育运动的卡片时,我们也可以略带描述一下做该运动的适宜天气。
在季节类的考题中,经常会涉及到的问题有:
◆ What is your favorite season?
◆ What is special about this season?
◆ What do people usually do in this season?
◆ Why do you like this season?
而有些考题是以某种天气为考点的,其中比较多见的就是要求描述一种险恶天气:
◆ What is the worst weather you have experienced?
◆ When did you experience it?
◆ What did you see?
◆ How did you feel under the worst condition?
一般来说,谈论季节和天气可以从气候特征、植物动物、人们所从事的活动和我的心理状态等多方面着手。下面,我们就跟着沙莎老师的思路,一起先来看一张关于季节的卡片:
Describe a Season
Describe your favorite season。
You should say:
What your favorite season is。
What is special about it。
What people usually do in this season。
And explain why you like this season。
{真题回放}
{原创范例} My favorite season is summer. I can’t wait till it starts. Yes, it sometimes gets very hot and sultry. But I don’t care. At least I don’t have to fight with bulky overcoats or down coats。
这篇的开头以非常简洁的方式引出主题,是较为传统的方式。在论述的过程中用了欲扬先抑的手法,先提了一下夏天令人不快的地方,但是注意只能一两句带过,千万不能论述太多而导致偏题。其次,也用了对比反衬的策略,提到冬天的不便之处。以论述对冬天的厌恶来反衬对夏天的热爱。其实也就是将夏天和冬天做了一个对比。
{原创范例} Summer means life, blue skies, gentle breeze, white beaches, and green trees. I love the warmth, the plenty of sunshine it brings and the way people look in tan. In summer, girls wear cute skirts and lovely sunbonnets. All the beautiful colors go around in this season. And you can feel the longing to go outdoors and experience an adventure。
这段也是以非常通俗的语言以细化的方式描述了夏天的气候特征、景物、人们的穿着打扮等。在考场里一定要拓宽自己的思路,千万不能一说到季节就局限于气候特征上,要学会从多方面着手,这就要求大家在入考场前做好思路的整理。
{原创范例} It is the ice cream season and it is the season of a variety of fruit, such as peaches, strawberries and watermelons. I love those after going swimming or hiking。
这段讨论的是比较传统的相关季节卡片的内容。描述了水果和冰激凌。当说到这个季节盛产的东西的时候我们也可以学习上段所用到的词组the season of来引出。
{原创范例} plus, it is also a time of great relaxation. You’ll always marvel at how much fun and entertainment can be squeezed into summer. There are summer vacations, swimming, surfing, picnics, fishing and boating. There is always something going on and there are always people enjoying nature. I love summertime because it is linked to most of my best memories and it never fails to trigger my passion in life。
最后这一段描述了人们的夏季活动,最后一句总结了喜爱这个季节的原因。其中,squeeze这个词用的非常生动,原意为“压入、塞入”,在这里非常形象的说明夏日给我们带来了无尽的快乐。trigger表示“触发、扣动扳机”,在这里表示“触发热情”。
