雅思口語考試無論是Part 1還是Part 2,都考察過song和music這個話題,那麼針對這個topic,我們都需要用什麼常用的表達或者加分的形容詞來打動考官呢?想說的有水準,還不能故意拽「文言文」,真誠表達多一些,是考官比較prefer的答案,下面的素材供大家參考:
1. Do you often like to sing?
如果你特別喜歡唱歌,到了KTV就是麥霸,可以說:
Yeah! Singing is my favorite pastime. Whenever I go to the karaoke club with my friends, I won’t let go of the microphone and others have to wait for a long time before they get their turn to sing.
如果你五音不全唱歌跑調,可以這麼說:
Well, I hardly ever sing 『cause I’m a little self-conscious about my singing voice. I』ve told that it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. And I’m always out of tune, so it’s not a pleasant experience to hear me sing.
如果你想回答「還行吧」,雖然沒有那麼大熱情,不過也偶爾哼個小曲啥的,你可以說:
Well, once in a while I like to hum the tune/melody, 『cause most of the time I couldn’t remember the lyrics exactly, except for the chorus (高潮、副歌).
2. When do you like to sing? How much time do you spend on singing every day?
這個題問的莫名其妙是因為我們唱歌的時候不計時的好麼… 而且心情好不自主的就唱起來了自己都沒有意識的… 好吧,嘗試答一下:
I guess I would sing, I mean hum, when I’m in a good mood. And to be honest, I always do this unconsciously, for example, if I listen to a song repeatedly, then probably I just can’t get the melody out of my head, and I would start to sing. So actually it’s hard to say how much time I spend doing this every day.
或者有人喜歡在洗澡的時候唱歌:
Well, I always feel like singing when I’m in the shower. I find it a perfect way to help me relax after a long day’s work/study.
3. What kinds of music do you like to sing?
Well, that totally depends on my mood. I mean, if I’m in a party spirit, I would choose to sing songs with a strong beat, and I could even dance to it. However, when I’m not that high, I prefer songs that have a slow and dreamy melody.
或者直接說流行樂也行,一般年輕人也不唱京劇啥的是不……
Pop songs, 『cause they are catchy. / The lyrics are easy to remember and the melody is not that hard to learn.
4. Is it difficult to sing well?
Yeah, I think it is. Some people are blessed with an amazing singing voice and awesome sense of rhythm, but not everyone is so lucky. Most people don’t have the gift, so they need years of practice to sing well. And for those who are always out of tune, it’s even harder.
5. Do you want to be a singer?
Not really. For one thing, I don’t think I have what it takes to be a qualified singer, I mean, my singing voice is not that appealing, and I couldn’t hit high notes, my voice would just crack. And for another thing, being a celebrity means that I need to give up some of my privacy, you know, I just don’t like it.
這裡再亂入一道新話題celebrity的關於privacy的小題,就是Do you think we should protect famous people’s privacy? 那一般答案肯定是要保護啦:
Yeah, definitely! Sometimes we tend to forget that celebrities are also human beings, and their privacy needs to be respected as well. Maybe being on the news is part of their job, but we shouldn’t disturb their personal life, I mean, sometimes the paparazzi are way out of line.
6. Who is your favorite singer?
Well, I’m a huge fan of XX who’s a famous Chinese singer and composer. He has won countless awards and he’s well liked by millions of young people.
7. Is singing popular in your country?
Is XXX popular in your country? 這種問題,光說自己喜歡或者你媽你爸喜歡貌似不太妥當,因為畢竟咱家不能speak for all Chinese people, 於是此時的打法就是用事實說話,舉能反映該activity在中國很popular的例子來證明。例如,你經常會看到老人們在公園吊嗓子,青少年聚會的場所首選KTV,江邊遛彎的時候會看到聚堆兒的民間藝人吹拉彈唱,等等。
Yeah, it is. We can know that from various talent shows on TV, which are all about singing, for example, The Voice of China, I’m the Singer and things like that. People from all age groups sign up for the open audition(海選), so it’s fair to say singing is pretty popular in my country.
8. What makes a singer popular all over the world?
Well, first of all, he or she has to have real talent. People admire them not just because of their attractive appearance, but also their excellent work. And their personality is also an important factor. People tend to love those singers who are straightforward, modest and compassionate.
9. Why do many people what to be famous through singing?
Maybe they have this talent and want to be recognized. And they just enjoy being in the spotlight and other’s admiration. Also, most of them believe that singers can make easy money in the show business (娛樂圈).
