雅思滿分流利口語：Part2全解析（之二）

本文節選自賈若寒著《雅思滿分流利口語》一書。

儘管這個答案比較短，但是給各位考生一個提示，也就是答案要儘可能切題，而且內容要詳細，下面來看一段考官對於如何回答Part 2的建議。

Hints

1. It is sometimes a good idea to start with a phrase such as:

The (topic) I want to describe is ...

This will help you focus on the topic and NOT talk about something else!

2. Remember: answer the wh-related questions to help you expand the topic and continue the description, i.e. who, what, where, when, why (always a good topic to expand), how, how often, how many. Also feel free to expand the topic by using comparisons, short stories, and by saying what it’s not! It’s not necessary to talk in detail, but rather to talk about things related or connected to the topic.

3. The last part of the Task Card is usually a “why” question, so that means you have to give reasons for why the focus of your talk is special. Giving reasons means you should also give an example to support your ideas. The example could be a short story about an event or situation.

4. Try to use lots of vocabulary from the topic in the question; if the question is about your favourite book, then there should be lots of words about books, stories and feelings.

大家再看下面一道名人類的具體問題：

Describe a famous person you would like to meet.

You should say:

Who the person is.

What he / she is famous for.

Why you choose this person.

And what you would ask this person.

The famous person I would like to meet is Li Ka-shing, the richest person in Asia. He’s also a self-made man who went from selling plastic flowers to owning a huge real estate development and telecommunications empire.

He’s most famous for his rags-to-riches story. He had to drop out of school at 15 and worked in a factory to support his family. Now, thanks to his hard work, he’s a billionaire and owns several companies.

But the main reason I choose him is that he is such an inspiring philanthropist. He has given billions of dollars to charity and even founded his own university. I really admire the fact that even though he is very rich and powerful, he still remembers his roots.

If I could meet Li Ka-shing, the first thing I would ask him would be the secret of his success. I would also want to know if he has any jobs available.

人物描述類的題目中還有一道特殊的題目，請看下面這道考題：

Describe the movie character that you admire most.

You should say:

Who it is.

What kind of person he / she is.

What he / she did.

And explain why this character impressed you so much.

He may not be a typical hero but I have to say that the character I admire most is Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks.

Even though he has a low IQ, Forest is a simple, gentle and direct man. Over the course of his life, he was a sports star, a brave soldier, a successful businessman and a catalyst for many important world events.
Through luck or fate, he witnessed many important historical events and met many key players on the world stage. He exposed the Watergate scandal and even influenced Elvis Presley’s distinctive style of dancing.

In everything he did, Forest showed his simple attitude and gratitude for life. He made the best of what he had and triumphed over adversity. I like the film’s message that you don’t have to be remarkably intelligent, physically strong or good-looking to be a hero. It’s quiet wisdom, humility and strength of character that make Forest such a good leader.

這道題目比較特殊，考生要引起特別重視，要準備一個電影人物以應付相關考題。
