季節和天氣一直是雅思口語的傳統話題。在第一部分幾乎是每次必考,雖然這類在第二部分出現的機率不是非常高,但也會不定時出現。從另一個角度來說,季節和天氣的談論可以貫穿到很多考題。比如對應關於體育運動類時,我們也可以略微描述一下做該運動的適宜天氣。
在談論自己受到的幫助時,也可以說在下著傾盆大雨的夜晚,有個朋友借出自己的傘來幫忙。其實很多話題之間都可以相互套用,以移花接木的方法來幫助自己事半功倍。
在季節類的考題中,經常會涉及到的問題有:
◆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?
而有些考題是以某種天氣為考題的,其中比較多見的就是要求描述一種險惡天氣:
◆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?
一般來說,談論季節和天氣可以從氣候特徵、植物動物、人們所從事的活動和自己的心理狀態等多方面著手。
接著來看一個關於季節的資訊:
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.
【原創範例】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.
這篇的開頭以非常簡潔的方式引出主題,是較為傳統的方式。在論述的過程中先提了一下夏天令人不快的地方,但是注意只能一兩句帶過,千萬不能論述太多而導致偏題。其次,也用了對比反襯的策略,提到冬天的不便之處。以論述對冬天的厭惡來反襯對夏天的熱愛。其實也就是將夏天和冬天做了一個對比。
【原創範例】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.
這段細化的方式描述了夏天的氣候特徵、景物、人們的穿著打扮等。
遇到季節天候的題目,千萬不要一說到季節就局限於氣候特徵上,要學會從多方面著手!
