咦，空調(diào)不就是一項(xiàng)很偉大的發(fā)明嘛，這不正好符合我們當(dāng)季題庫(kù)內(nèi)一道較為熱門的雅思口語(yǔ)Part 2題目“Describe an important invention that has changed the world”。下面小編就和大家分享夏日雅思口語(yǔ)話題分析，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。

夏日雅思口語(yǔ)話題分析：an important invention

我們現(xiàn)在就來(lái)看看如何利用 “l(fā)ifesaver空調(diào)君”來(lái)準(zhǔn)備這道雅思口語(yǔ)熱門題目。

雅思口語(yǔ)話題 Describe an important invention that has changed the world

在大家看下面這篇sample answer 之前，可以先考慮以下幾個(gè)小問(wèn)題：

1. “我這條命是空調(diào)給的“英文怎么說(shuō)?

2. 形容天氣非常悶熱，可以有哪些詞?

3. 準(zhǔn)備一篇Part 2的口語(yǔ)話題大概思路是怎么樣的?

Describe an invention that has changed the world.

You should say:

what it is;

how it’s changed our life;

how popular it is among different age groups;

and explain how you feel about it.

This topic surely got me thinking! I mean, I can think of many revolutionary inventions like smart phone, computer, camera and something like that, but considering the hot, sweaty weather conditions we are suffering lately, what I truly want to share with you is the air-conditioner, which has largely freed us from this suffocating high temperature very recently.

To be honest, hardly can I imagine how people managed to stay cool before the invention of AC. What I’ve heard from my grandparents is that they used to sit on the porch in front of the house and to feel the breeze back to decades ago, or they used fans of some sort. Obviously, that doesn’t sound tempting at all. That’s probably why the AC has now become an essential household appliance for most families in my country once it had come out. The guy who invented it is surely a genius.

As for how I feel about this important invention, well, it’s something, right? It even feels like I’ve owned my life to the air-conditioner. The heat wave is so strong that it doesn’t make any difference whether I go outside or say indoors. Sweat poured from my forehead even if I sit still and do nothing. However, thanks to AC, it’s much easier for us to fall asleep at night and to maintain high productively under sweltering weather outside.

OK, 看完這篇例文之后，各位烤鴨對(duì)于先前我提出的三個(gè)小問(wèn)題有答案了嗎?我們這里來(lái)總結(jié)一下:

1. I’ve owned my life to the air-conditioner. 我這條命是空調(diào)給的。Own sth.to sb./sth. 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)我們大家都應(yīng)該較為熟悉，“把某事歸功于某人“，那么這里我們?yōu)榱丝鋸埖谋硎居邢聦?duì)空調(diào)君的感謝之情，就可以這樣使用，說(shuō)我的這條命都是歸功于空調(diào)。同理，在掌握了這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的基礎(chǔ)之上，咱們嘗試舉一反三，是不是就可以說(shuō) “我的雅思高分都是考官給的”-I’ve owned my high score on IELTS to the examiners. “多虧了父母，才有了我今天的成就”??- “I‘ve owned my achievement to my parents.”??

2. 表達(dá)“天氣炎熱“，除了常見(jiàn)的 hot 之外，我們可以多積累一些地道且 less common 的詞匯，例如 stuffy, sweltering, strong heat wave 等。雅思考官對(duì)于口語(yǔ)的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之一就在于詞匯的靈活多樣性上，換言之，多使用一些不是太顯老生常談的表達(dá)也可以為自己在考官那里刷一下印象分呢。

3. 對(duì)于正在備考的雅思考生來(lái)說(shuō)，一篇Part 2題目需要在接近2分鐘的時(shí)間內(nèi)流利度的用15-20句話描述一個(gè)特定話題，更為重要的是，所言須有條理性，所以在準(zhǔn)備這道口語(yǔ)話題時(shí)，大家可以先引出一個(gè)自己認(rèn)為重要的發(fā)明，比如在羅列幾個(gè)反面之后挑一個(gè)最為個(gè)人認(rèn)為很好拓展開(kāi)來(lái)的說(shuō)明【Tip1:先羅列再挑一展開(kāi)】;接下來(lái)，可以重點(diǎn)解釋一下這項(xiàng)發(fā)明的功能是什么的，比如該項(xiàng)發(fā)明之前生活怎樣，而有了它之后又是如何【Tip2:對(duì)比方式展開(kāi)更有邏輯性噢】;最后，給出自己的主觀評(píng)價(jià)感受【Tip3:有了前面的客觀功能描述，自己的主觀展開(kāi)才更加言之有物】。

根據(jù)這樣的一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)分析，

我們現(xiàn)在再來(lái)看一下剛才那篇例文：

This topic surely got me thinking! I mean, I can think of many revolutionary inventions like smart phone, camera, penicillin and something like that【羅列發(fā)明】, but considering the hot, sweaty weather conditions we are suffering lately, what I truly want to share with you is the air-conditioner, which has largely freed us from this suffocating high temperature very recently 【引出主題】.

To be honest, hardly can I imagine how people managed to stay cool before the invention of AC. What I’ve heard from my grandparents is that they used to sit on the porch in front of the house and to feel the breeze back to decades ago, or they used fans of some sort 【過(guò)去】. Obviously, that doesn’t sound tempting at all. That’s probably why the AC has now become an essential household appliance for most families in my country once it had come out 【現(xiàn)在】. The guy who invented it is surely a genius.

【主觀段落過(guò)渡感受】As for how I feel about this important invention, well, it’s something, right? It even feels like I’ve owned my life to the air-conditioner. The heat wave is so strong that it doesn’t make any difference whether I go outside or say indoors. Sweat poured from my forehead even if I sit still and do nothing. However, thanks to AC, it’s much easier for us to fall asleep at night and to maintain high productively under sweltering weather outside.

雅思寫(xiě)作分析：現(xiàn)象表明對(duì)環(huán)境的破環(huán)已經(jīng)非常嚴(yán)重

今日學(xué)習(xí)主題

一些現(xiàn)象表明對(duì)環(huán)境的破環(huán)已經(jīng)非常嚴(yán)重

主題解讀

海洋及陸地環(huán)境的破壞和如此多物種的消失證明如今要彌補(bǔ)對(duì)環(huán)境的巨大損害已經(jīng)為時(shí)過(guò)晚。

英文句子

The destruction of marine and land environments and the disappearance of so many species is proof that it is already too late to reverse much of the damage.

大多數(shù)情況下，由于一種即將消失的語(yǔ)言使用者過(guò)少，即使再多資金投入也無(wú)濟(jì)于事。主要原因在于下一代的人往往沒(méi)有意愿使用這種語(yǔ)言，因?yàn)橄裼⒄Z(yǔ)和普通話這種更為主流的語(yǔ)言與他們的生活更加相關(guān)。

雅思寫(xiě)作語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講

1. destruction，破壞，動(dòng)詞形式為destruct

2. marine and land environments海洋和陸地環(huán)境

3. disappearance 消失，動(dòng)詞形式為disappear

4. species 物種，注意這類詞匯只以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)

5. is proof that + 完整句子，這里的that之后引導(dǎo)完整句子，是同位語(yǔ)從句，也就是后面這句話是proof的內(nèi)容，中文可以直接理解或者翻譯為“證明…”

6. it is already too late to do，這句話中it為形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是to do的部分，因此表達(dá)的含義為“做某件事已經(jīng)為時(shí)過(guò)晚”

7. reverse 扭轉(zhuǎn)，逆轉(zhuǎn)

8. the damage 這里需要注意the可以作為指代關(guān)系使用，因此這里的the damage指的是上文中提到的那些現(xiàn)象。

今日練習(xí)

整理5-10個(gè)關(guān)于環(huán)境破壞相關(guān)現(xiàn)象的表達(dá)，如文中出現(xiàn)的the disappearance of so many species等。

雅思寫(xiě)作分析：人口增長(zhǎng)和購(gòu)買力增強(qiáng)給自然界帶來(lái)過(guò)大壓力

今日學(xué)習(xí)主題

人口增長(zhǎng)和購(gòu)買力增強(qiáng)給自然界帶來(lái)過(guò)大壓力

主題解讀

自然界出現(xiàn)的損害多數(shù)是由于人的行為造成的，其中人口增長(zhǎng)和人們購(gòu)買力以及需求的增加是很重要的原因，所以這一觀點(diǎn)的表述是很常用的，另外需要說(shuō)明這種行為的不可持續(xù)性，句中 non-sustainable和non-renewable都是環(huán)境類話題中常用的表示消極意義的形容詞。

英文句子

As the world’s population grows and people’s spending power increases, our veracious appetite puts unrealistic pressure on the natural world. This practice is non-sustainable, as we are exploiting resources that are non-renewable.

隨著世界人口的增長(zhǎng)以及人們的購(gòu)買力增強(qiáng)，我們本能的欲望給自然世界帶來(lái)了超出尋常的壓力。這種行為是無(wú)法持續(xù)的，因?yàn)槲覀冋谑褂脽o(wú)法再生的資源。

雅思寫(xiě)作語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講

1. 開(kāi)頭使用as進(jìn)行狀語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)是比較常見(jiàn)的寫(xiě)法，需要注意as后面的內(nèi)容和主句之間在邏輯上需要非常契合

2. the world's population 世界人口

3. people's spending power 人們的購(gòu)買力

4. grow和increase都表示“增長(zhǎng)”，需要注意使用的準(zhǔn)確性

5. veracious appetite，其中veracious表示“真實(shí)的”，appetite表示“食欲”，此處表示人們?yōu)樽陨砜紤]產(chǎn)生的那些需求和欲望，而這些需求并沒(méi)有考慮到對(duì)生態(tài)環(huán)境的影響

6. unrealistic 不切實(shí)際的，不合理的

7. the natural world 自然界，大自然

8. this practice指的是“這種行為”，這里作為指代關(guān)系，與上句話形成句間的銜接。

9. non-sustainable 不可持續(xù)的

10. resources that are non-renewable 此處resources表示資源，之后的定語(yǔ)從句對(duì)resources進(jìn)行修飾，其中non-renewable表示“無(wú)法再生的”，補(bǔ)充：renewable resources表示“可再生資源”

今日練習(xí)

仿照本句寫(xiě)一句話，說(shuō)明人的行為對(duì)自然界造成的負(fù)面影響。
