今日口语P1话题:travel
1. Do you like travelling?
You bet!I am a big fan of travelling around. I spend months all together each year to go somewhere else. I feel that it’s not only an indispensable part of my life, but also can culture my mental development.
点评:you bet(当然)是本答案的惊喜,让整个答案的情感力量瞬间满溢,非常亲切。可以说是我们通常推荐的of course, definitely的小众版同义替换。
而 a big fan of...(非常喜欢)则是另一个非常好用的地道表达,可以说,格调甩已烂大街的表达like...very much之类数条街。
高分词indispensable(不可或缺的),高分报答not only...but also.
2. In which seasons do you prefer to travel?
I guess the autumn is the best time to travel, as it is neither too hot nor too cold, people will feel comfortable to go out. Besides, as the foliage of trees will turn yellow or red, you will find the picturesque views all around you. Wherever you go, you will experience a memorable trip.
点评:句子很美,让人瞬间进入到了秋日马路踩落叶的画面中。在词汇上,注意foliage(替换leaf),picturesque(替换beautiful)和memorable。在句子上注意两个as,一个besides,一个whenever的使用,是句子读起来很连贯。
3. Would you say your country is a good place for travellers to visit?
Yes, Chinese people are renowned for their hospitality to visitors. And there are also numerous tourist attractions around the country. For instance, you can visit the natural landscape to see the picturesque views, or you can go to the historical relics to know the events through the long Chinese history, or you can just stay at the metropolises to experience the local people’s lifestyle.
点评:词汇丰富不用多说,renowned, hospitality, numerous, tourist attraction, natural landscape, picturesque view, historical relics, metropolises.
霸道的是能瞬间从自然景观(natural landscape),历史景观(historical relics),人文(local lifestyle)三方面来讲述,只能说,思路很开,我辈跪伏。
另外一个不得不说的细节,才是彰显9分功力的地方:在讲述这三方面时,他分别用了三组不同的动词:visit&see, go&know, stay&experience。
