解析雅思口语话题中的“颜色”

朗阁海外考试研究中心徐晓青

关于“颜色”的话题，一直在雅思口语考题中占有一席之地。关于色彩，其实对考生们来讲都不陌生，因为小学英语就已经教授了关于众多颜色的表达。相信几乎每一位考生都可以很轻松的说出“black, white, yellow,red, green, grey, brown, blue”等等颜色。但是，对于色彩的表现和对颜色的深刻理解又是相当一部分考生们所缺乏的。面对当前的雅思口语关于“色彩”的考题，考生们大多变得如那些“深色”一样黯淡，很难如那些“亮色”一样精彩，让考官们眼前一亮。在这篇文章中，朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师将以文化传统为角度，具体剖析关于“色彩”与“文化”的联系，供广大考生们参考。

纵观当前的考查范围，可以说“色彩”几乎贯穿了整个口语考题的三个部分。在part 1中，有个topic关于颜色，着眼于考察考生们“最喜爱的颜色”，“偏爱深色还是浅色”以及“一些颜色在中国是否有着特殊的意义”等。而在part 2中，有个地点类话题“D escribe a place you went to that was full of color”，要求考生描述一个多彩的地方，是一个典型的色彩与地点结合的考题。

下面，我们以“最喜爱的颜色”为例，剖析一下当前考生的状况。

Question:

What is your favorite color?

Possible answer from students:

Well, as for my favorite color, I think it is blue. Because I like blue sky, and the color of blue always reminds of the blue ocean and sky. You know, I really enjoy walking in the long and soft beaches and feeling the sea breeze.

解析：该考生的答案为“蓝色”，显然该考生是以大海的颜色为思路拓展展开的。当然，该

联想是非常合理和常见的，但是，这样的答案也是显得较为“经典老套”的，很难让考官眼前一亮。其实，关于颜色的联想不仅仅局限在“大海”，考生们完全可以做出更深层次的联想，例如：文化、传统、服饰、性格、时尚、艺术等领域。下面，让我们一起参考一下以下的brainstorm图解，来探索一下关于色彩的联想：

根据上述图解，我们可以得出，在“颜色”的联想中，我们将文化和各地传统方面的因素纳入考虑。其实，不同的文化中，相同的颜色往往意味着不同的含义。例如上述答案中提到的“蓝色”。中国人面对蓝色肯定感觉是心驰神往般的舒畅。实际上，蓝色在英语国家有忧郁的含义，如美国有“蓝色星期一”（blue Monday），指心情不好的星期一。blue sky在英语中意思是“没有价值”，所以，把“蓝天”牌台灯翻译成Blue Sky Lamp, 意思便是“没用的台灯”，这样的台灯怎能销得出去呢？另外，埃及人和比利时人视蓝色为倒霉的颜色。所以，上述考生的答案虽然客观陈述了天空和大海的颜色，但是因为考官对“蓝色”的西式理解是截然不同的，非常有可能引起不认同感和偏差感。

除此以外，关于一些“在中国有着特殊含义的颜色”，最先让人们能想到的可能就是“红色”，因为红色吉利喜庆，代表着热情红火。在中国一些婚宴场合，红色是非常多见的。但考虑到文化差异，红色在西方国家往往又有着截然不同的含义，西方人对红色的理解为血腥、暴力，警告等等。

除此以外，我们继续关注一下part2关于“色彩”与“地点”的联系。在描述一个多彩的

地方话题时，难点往往在于将如何去阐述这个地方“多彩”的原因。其实，在解答这个问题的时候，往往也可以往“文化传统”方面去考虑。以下，笔者将结合自己曾经做志愿者的经历，以中东一个名叫Bahrain的国家为例，给各位展示“多彩”的古堡。

Simple Answer:

If I have to say a few words on a place I went to that was full of color, what comes to my mind first is a place called Manama, the capital city of a middle-east country named the kingdom of Bahrain.

As far as I can recall, about 3 years ago, I joined a volunteer group and went there to do some volunteer job. Definitely, besides the job, I visited a lot of fantastic places and took thousands of pictures. A place, which impressed me most, is a fort. You know, forts can be commonly found in Arabic cities, but the forts in Manama are so unique. Because they are built in various colors, like dark yellow, white, light blue and even purple. That was so amazing that attracts millions of people from all over the word every year. One of my local friends told me that why should these fort been built in different colors is closely connected to local cultures. You know, different religions are mixed up in this mid east land.

I think I was deeply attracted by the amazing colorful forts there and even curious about its mysterious culture there.

本篇文章以“颜色”为角度切入，分析了当前考生们在本考题的答题情况，以“文化”为视角建议广大考生们注意“颜色”和“文化差异”方面的联系，以给出全新的思维方式让考官

们眼前一亮。当然，正如上述“头脑风暴”图解中演示的，关于“色彩”的联想除了“文化传统”以外，还有许许多多其他的联想，考生们也可根据自己的思路进一步拓展。最后，祝所有考生们考试顺利。

雅思口语part2物品类话题解读

雅思口语part2物品类话题解读 雅思口语part2物品类话题是雅思考试常考的话题之一，所以考生们一定要足够的重视。下面为大家带来此类话题的详细介绍，会包括比较细节的东西，所以考生们一定不要错过哦! 首先，来看一下物品类话题分类。 对于物品类话题，我们根据历年考试话题的汇总，为大家概括为两大类： 具体类物品如：Describe a book you read、a gift you received from others、a wild animal、a handicraft、an electrical appliance that is useful to you、an important letter that you received、a game you played in your childhood等; 抽象类物品如：Describe an interesting news、a useful website、 a performance you saw、a organization、your future job、your future plan、something that you don't know but would like to learn等。 其实简单的说具体类物品话题就是实实在在存在，能够看得见摸得着的一样东西。而抽象类物品则是一件抽象的东西，可能没有实物参照，而只是比较抽象的描述。所以二者比较而言，具体类物品话题将会好描述的多。雅思口语part2物品类话题详解大家可以仔细阅读一下，这里有关于两类话题具体的细节对比分析。 其次，就是关于具体的解题思路介绍。 1)当我们要描述一个具体类事物时，要把它与人物类以及地点类联系起来，丰富自己的内容。例如：描述a gift时，首先要描述这件礼物具体是什么，外观或是很吸引人的地方;然后，再说是谁送给你的，父母?朋友?同学还是同事?也可以说说这件礼物是从什么地方买的，如果是手工制作的那一定是很用心，同学们可以仔细描述一下。 2)当我们描述一个比较抽象类的话题时，要遵循互通原则。一个话题不会说就要换一种方式灵活应对，不至于哑口无言并缓解冷场气氛。 详细的解题思路分析见雅思口语话题之物品类话题分析、雅思口语part2物体物品类话题思路原来可以这样用、雅思口语虚拟物品类话题攻略。 最后，考生们也需要注意素材的积累——词汇、句式等。 雅思考场具体案例解析:仍以gift为例：Describe a gift you sent to others 物品词汇： Arts and crafts工艺品;Charm护身符;Cross stitch 十字绣;Knitting 编织品;Shell craft 贝壳制品;Mug 杯子;Multi Purpose Tools 多功能工具 物品特点词汇：

(精!)2020年9-12月雅思口语物品类话题(口语老师独家资料)

事物/物品篇 Sample: To be honest, I have lots of ambitions. And I'm going to talk about one of them, which is winning the first prize in a table tennis match. You know, winning a prize is always exciting and the winners are adored(受喜爱) by people. Honestly, I didn’t take part in lots of competitions. But I really want to win that one. Table Tennis is one of the most exciting sports in the world. Besides, the players are admired and respected by people. You know, I’m from China, its national sport is table tennis. Lots of students can play it well. So can I (我也能). Table tennis is played on a table and the rules are similar to tennis. Usually, two types of matches are played on table tennis – single match, team match. In a single match, usually, there is one opponent(对手) in each of the sides while the opponents become two in the team match. All of the teams or players try to hit the ball. Winning a table tennis match is difficult indeed. I have to struggle a lot for winning the matches. I usually practice the match solo though one of my friends wants to team up with(组队) me. But I declined(拒绝) him as I am not a good team player(有团队精神的人). In order to win it, I practice different techniques for hours everyday. Usually making the balls to swing is one of the difficult ways in table tennis and if someone could master it, playing and especially defeating becomes easier. So, I practise the specific way at my home with my sister. Moreover, I sometimes play table tennis with some of my friends who come to visit me at my home. Besides, dad also likes to play table tennis. So, I have lots of practice with him as well. I will try my best to play. If I win the first prize, I will be overwhelmed with joy and excitement(陷入喜悦和激动). It’ll be a proof(证明) of my ability. I will definitely feel a sense of achievement. Part3: ●What kinds of ambitions do people have?

You should say： what type of music it is where people listen to （or，can hear）it on what occasions people hear this music what types of people usually like this type of music and explain why it is popular. Actually I am not a big fan of music. I hope that I can properly define the correct type of music that is popular in China. Generally speaking，rock music is going over big in my country。Although it originate in western countries，with the development of globalization，the rock music was introduced to China. It has been really welcomed among the young https://www.sodocs.net/doc/0516025338.html,ually during parties，such as campus party，friend reunion，young people tend to indulge themselves with the rock music. Two main reasons are contributed to the popularity of the rock music in my country.The first point is that the rock music has amazing beats，awesome melody，deep lyrics ['lirik] and meaning. It concerns about love，family，friendship，and it can be moving optimistic as well as cheerful.It can hit a true emotional level. Rock music is more than just compositions ，it is a way of living，it is a lifelong inspiration. It helps young people release stresses from work or study. It connects people in an emotional way. It reflects the way people approach life.The second point is the rock music is catering to the character of the young people. You know，young people are quite energetic and ebullient，while the rock music is usually associated with fast tempo，strong beat and some aggressive expression. Under the rock music，the young people can better express themselves and obtain resonance 。
