雅思口语：人物类话题的答题思路

　　围绕人物描述一直是雅思口语考试的一个高频高点，下面就为大家解析一下怎样回答雅思part2中的人物描述题。

　　人物topic大致分为这么几种：

　　A friend: a happy person, one you want to travel/study/work with, one youadmire……

　　A celebrity: sport/movie/music star, a famous person you admire, asuccessful person, a character from a TV program or a movie.

　　A family member: one who influenced you most, one you like best, a happyperson, an old person.

　　Else: child, teacher, neighbor

　　先从一个例子入手，来说一说人物这一类topic的特点和重要性。

　　题目：Describe a celebrity you admire.

　　Example by Edward:

　　Explain: who is this celebrity? What has he/she done to become popular? Whydo you like him/her?

　　When this topic is regarded/As the topic is mentioned(一般我都会用这两句开头，当然你也可以自己想一个开头方式), I would say a celebrity whom I admire most is theformer Chinese gymnast who is named Li Ning (有时候最好的回答方式就是重复对方的问题) . Before Istart, I do want to remind you that he is the man who lighted up the primarytorch in Beijing Olympic Game 2008.

　　Li Ning is no doubt one of the greatest athletes in China owing to hisgreat contribution to gymnastics. As a gymnast, Li Ning demonstrated exceptionaltalents and perseverance/fortitude (天赋与坚毅品质)that his contemporaries didn’tpossess(替换have可以展现你的词汇量). In Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games, he won 4 goldmedals, which was the best performance in that game. The next year, he wonanother two in World Gymnastic games. Prior to Beijing Olympics, he still held arecord of 14 champion titles in gymnastics. In his days, he barely can find acompetitor. So this good-looking young man has often been called the prince ofgymnastics.

　　Having retired from his beloved game (这句话完全等于after he retired from hisbeloved game), Li Ning still continued his passion in the field of sports byestablishing a sport wear company which was named after him. The company soonbecame an unprecedented success. Presently, the brand Li Ning has become a maincompetitor that Nike and Addidas can not ignore in the global market.

　　Another reason I admire him is that Li Ning is not just a normalbusinessman who only cares about money, but also a man responsible for thefuture of the whole nation (我常用这句话来形容商人-温总理说：企业家身上应当流着道德的血液。). He often donatesmoney to communities and the national educational program called hope plan. Soeverything he does can be used as positive demonstration for the youth.

　　Therefore……

　　这个答案回答完，第二部分8分应该是不成问题了。这个topic要说完可能需要3分钟，所以在考场上必然会被考官打断-因为这部分给定时间在1-2分钟。但是并不用担心，因为考官会告诉你：don’tworry if I stop you.

　　人物topic是所有topic中最基本的一项。它是应该要优先考虑的一项，所以应该充分准备(一个人经验，要准备5个不同类型的人物)。原因很简单。很多topic都会和它相关联。当你试着把其他topic和人物联系起来时，准备口语的topic就变得轻松了许多。

　　试想，当你说一个物品,比如gift,或者一次经历，比如travelling的时候，把它和你的好朋友或者是家人联系起来。准备就变得很有效率，回答时也可以避免没话说的灾难发生。
