PART 2
考官给考生一张话题卡(Cue Card)。考生有1分钟准备时间,并可以做笔记(考官会给考生笔和纸)。之后 考生要做1~2分钟的陈述。考生讲完后,考官会就考生的阐述内容提一两个相关问题,由考生做简要回答。
|
CUE CARD Describe a piece of electronic equipment that you find useful You should say: what it is how you learned to use it how long you have had it and explain why you find this piece of electronic equipment useful. |
→话题卡说明
话题卡“Describe an electronic equipment”是口语考试中物品类话题卡中较为高频出现的话题卡之一, 考官主要考查考生描述物品细节的能力是否过硬。考生在描述这个话题卡时要注意的是这个话题卡的限定 条件——“有用处的,有帮助的”电子产品。一个帮助自己学习语言的电子词典,一个休闲时间用来放松的 电子游戏机等,都是不错的取材。

点题 |
The electronic thing I found useful is an Electronic English-Chinese Dictionary.This gadget was given by my granny on my 18th birthday.It's handy,glossy,light weight,and super thin. |
|
外观 |
It has a PDA style interface,where I could write an unknown character,then have the dictionary magically tell me what it was. |
|
为何 选择 |
Id say that it was in high school that Pve really felt the urge to get one to help with my English learning.I had this gadget with me everywhere in the last 3 years of my high school.As I mentioned, it's completely portable and very light weight,so it's easy to put into my back pocket. |
|
为何 有用 |
The dictionary includes not only definitions,but plenty of usage examples and sentences.It contains great idiomatic and colloquial phrases,both for US and UK English—in addition to the more "standard"used meanings.Also,the word search history list makes it very easy to jump back to a word you looked up earlier,making it a very valuable study tool. Its popularity amongst young people also has had a persuasive effect on me.I personally think my electronic dictionary is the single best investment. |

PART 3
第三部分:双向讨论(4~5分钟)考官与考生围绕由第二部分引申出来的一些比较抽象的话题进行讨论。 第三部分的话题是对第二部分提示卡内容的深化和拓展。
话题举例
Technology and housework
1.What kinds of machine are used for housework in modern homes in your country?
答题技巧:现代家庭中用来做家务的机器设备都有哪些?用举例子的方法可以容易回答出来,如洗衣机 (washing machine),吸尘器(vacuum cleaner),电饭煲(rice cooker)等等。
I would have to say washing machine,vacuum cleaner,rice cooker,coffee maker,electric kettle, air conditioner,furnace,etc.Those would be the ones I couldn't live without or I mean wouldn't want to do without.
washing machine 洗衣机 vacuum cleaner 吸尘器
rice cooker电饭煲 coffee maker 咖啡壶,咖啡机
electric kettle电热水壶 furnace 炉子
2.How have these machines benefited people?Are there any negative effects of using them?
答题技巧:这些用来做家务的机器设备如何帮助人们?又有哪些负面影响?此题属于正反论证话题,考
生需要同时罗列出优缺点。优点我们都能说出来,使人们的生活更加轻松。缺点当然也是存在的,如: 各种危险隐患,养成人们的惰性。
With the aid of electrical equipment,we are able to work quickly and efficiently.It makes our life easier and convenient.However,there are some disadvantages of using electrical equipment.People will become totally dependent on equipment and not to do things they could do themselves.Sometimes using electrical equipment might be quite expensive because it will consume large amount of electricity.Lastly,people could get electrocuted if using them carelessly,which happens every year.
aid 帮助 dependent依赖的,依靠的
electrocute 触电,电击 consume 消耗,花费
3.Do you think all new homes will be equipped with household machines in the future?Why?
答题技巧:未来的所有新家庭是否会全部装备家用电器?结合现在社会的发展,这也许是个必然的趋 势。考生可以根据两方面去回答此题:(1)装备家用电器有何方便之处。(2)没有家用电器有何不便之处。 Electricity has truly become the lifeblood of our society.Right now we can't live without electrical devices because we rely on them to make our life easier.Many of us have become addicted to what can be done with
indoor plumbing, the Internet and cell phones.All homes without household machines is possible but it would take a lot of adjusting.We'd have to buy all the non-electric tools to make life workable—wood/cook stove, build an outdoor ice box,dig a well to keep food cool,and top it off with lots of patience,as nothing is fast and easy in a non-electrical world.
lifeblood 血液 electrical devices 电子设备
addicted to 对……上瘾 indoor plumbing 家用工具
ice box冰箱
Technology in the workplace
1.What kinds of equipment do most workers need to use in offices today?
答题技巧:何种办公设备是最常用的?大家可以通过之前的日常观察,列举出一些办公室设备的名称以 及重要性。
I think people at work rely much on modern technology,especially computer and Internet.Many people can't spell some words right because they are too used to the Office Software which provides users with the spelling check. They can also use Internet to collect data and information and analyze them.Modern equipment provides all kinds of resources which will be of great help to people's work.
Office Software 办公软件 spelling check拼写检查
collect data搜集数据
2.How have developments in technology affected employment in your country?
答题技巧:科技的发展如何影响人们的工作?大家都知道,这里的employment也指雇佣的意思。通过“雇 佣”这个词,我们可以得到回答的思路,比如:公共交通引入刷卡机制,就不需要那么多售票员了。
Technology has allowed computers and machinery to replace manpower. Also,it has made it easier to do some labour intensive jobs with fewer hours.I think it eliminated jobs via increased productivity and made work safer in many areas of industry.For example,a lot of welding on cars is done by robots,which was done

by people in the past. machinery机器 |
manpower 人力 |

3.Some people think that technology has brought more stress than benefits to employed people nowadays.Would you agree or disagree?Why?
答题技巧:科技带给员工更多的是压力而不是益处?选择同意此观点会更容易回答,从压力方面去谈 论,说出压力的来源(工作更加程式化,员工过剩造成减员)。
