雅思口語(yǔ)大神為你解析新題travel該咋說

5月雅思換題季后，我們又迎來一大波新話題。今天王靜怡老師和大家談一談part1新話題——travel

題目

Do you want to travel in the outer space?

Do you think it is necessary to see other planets?

When was the last time you went travelling?

Have you traveled recently?

Do you like to travel by air?

Do Chinese people travel in the same way as they did before?

考試內(nèi)容涉及兩個(gè)方面：

1. 太空旅行

2. 日常旅行

太空旅行

核心詞匯

outer space;universe;the galaxy (the Milky Way);planets;aliens (extraterrestrial beings);spacecraft…

核心表達(dá)

(1) I’m not willing to travel in the space.

• It is too costly, and one space journey may cost me several properties in my city.

• It is also very risky. You know, in many sci-fi films, the spacecraft ran out of petrol which led many serious accidents, such as losing control and explosion.

• The trip in the universe would take a long time and I couldn’t see my family and friends, which might make me feel homesick.

• The strange and heavy spacesuit, the disguising liquid food, and the feeling of losing gravity may drive me crazy.

(2) I will be very happy to try this kind of travel.

• I can explore the universe and also enjoy the mind-blowing views of the planets and the galaxy. It would be very surprising and fantastic.

• I always enjoy trying something new. Traveling in the outer space could be very different from having a trip on earth. It would be so exciting.

• If I had a chance to travel in the outer space, I could get the best of both worlds: knowing more about our universe and having a period of time off from work.

語(yǔ)法考察點(diǎn)

虛擬。因?yàn)?ldquo;太空旅行”是一個(gè)未來的概念，還沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)，所以在回答的過程當(dāng)中學(xué)生應(yīng)該使用虛擬的表述，經(jīng)常會(huì)用到“would, should, could, might”等表達(dá)。

日常旅行

核心詞匯

travel;journey;trip

核心表達(dá)

go on a family/ long/ boat trip

travel abroad

sample the exotic

go sightseeing

enjoy the breathtaking scenery/ views/ landscape

spend a day sunbathing

語(yǔ)法考察點(diǎn)

時(shí)態(tài)。這個(gè)話題整體都是對(duì)時(shí)態(tài)的考查，舉幾個(gè)例子：

When was the last time you went travelling? 明顯是考察過去時(shí)態(tài)的，有一些考生在考試的過程當(dāng)中直接跟考官去說“I can’t remember it”其實(shí)是沒有了解考官的考試意圖。如果被問到這樣的問題就算記不太清，也要說“Actually, it’ve been a really long time that I didn’t go on a trip, so the memory about my last journey is quite dim, but I guess it was about 5 years ago, … ”之后都用過去式回答。

另外Have you traveled recently?這個(gè)問題也是考察時(shí)態(tài)，如果說了Yes, I have.后面的表述還是會(huì)回歸到過去時(shí)，比如Yes, I have. Last month, my family and I went to …

Do Chinese people travel in the same way as they did before?這個(gè)考察了混合時(shí)態(tài)，因?yàn)樯婕暗搅爽F(xiàn)在與過去的對(duì)比，考生在回答過程當(dāng)中既要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)去回答現(xiàn)在人們旅行的方式，又要用過去時(shí)態(tài)去說明國(guó)人過去的旅行方式，可以說是考察時(shí)態(tài)的難題了。eg. No, I don’t think so. In the past days, Chinese used to travel in groups with a guide, but now more and more people choose to plan their own itinerary or go backpacking. “used to do sth.”是我們說到過去的事情的時(shí)候常用的表達(dá)，學(xué)生應(yīng)該熟練掌握。
