咦，空調(diào)不就是一項很偉大的發(fā)明嘛，這不正好符合我們當季題庫內(nèi)一道較為熱門的雅思口語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話題分析，來欣賞一下吧。

夏日雅思口語話題分析：an important invention

我們現(xiàn)在就來看看如何利用 “l(fā)ifesaver空調(diào)君”來準備這道雅思口語熱門題目。

雅思口語話題 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小問題：

1. “我這條命是空調(diào)給的“英文怎么說?

2. 形容天氣非常悶熱，可以有哪些詞?

3. 準備一篇Part 2的口語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，各位烤鴨對于先前我提出的三個小問題有答案了嗎?我們這里來總結(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. 這個短語我們大家都應(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照{(diào)君的感謝之情，就可以這樣使用，說我的這條命都是歸功于空調(diào)。同理，在掌握了這個短語的基礎(chǔ)之上，咱們嘗試舉一反三，是不是就可以說 “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“天氣炎熱“，除了常見的 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。雅思考官對于口語的評分標準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也可以為自己在考官那里刷一下印象分呢。

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

根據(jù)這樣的一個結(jié)構(gòu)分析，

我們現(xiàn)在再來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.

雅思寫作分析：現(xiàn)象表明對環(huán)境的破環(huán)已經(jīng)非常嚴重

今日學習主題

一些現(xiàn)象表明對環(huán)境的破環(huán)已經(jīng)非常嚴重

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對環(huán)境的巨大損害已經(jīng)為時過晚。

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言使用者過少，即使再多資金投入也無濟于事。主要原因在于下一代的人往往沒有意愿使用這種語言，因為像英語和普通話這種更為主流的語言與他們的生活更加相關(guān)。

雅思寫作語言點精講

1. destruction，破壞，動詞形式為destruct

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

3. disappearance 消失，動詞形式為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，真正的主語是to do的部分，因此表達的含義為“做某件事已經(jīng)為時過晚”

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

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

雅思寫作分析：人口增長和購買力增強給自然界帶來過大壓力

今日學習主題

人口增長和購買力增強給自然界帶來過大壓力

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，其中人口增長和人們購買力以及需求的增加是很重要的原因，所以這一觀點的表述是很常用的，另外需要說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以及人們的購買力增強，我們本能的欲望給自然世界帶來了超出尋常的壓力。這種行為是無法持續(xù)的，因為我們正在使用無法再生的資源。

雅思寫作語言點精講

1. 開頭使用as進行狀語從句的引導(dǎo)是比較常見的寫法，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 人們的購買力

4. grow和increase都表示“增長”，需要注意使用的準確性

5. veracious appetite，其中veracious表示“真實的”，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，而這些需求并沒有考慮到對生態(tài)環(huán)境的影響

6. unrealistic 不切實際的，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，之后的定語從句對resources進行修飾，其中non-renewable表示“無法再生的”，補充：renewable resources表示“可再生資源”
