雅思口语话题之思路解析

介绍一首你最喜欢的歌曲，是雅思口语考试历年来换来换去都换不走的一颗钉子户，在part 1和part 2里面披着不同的外衣反复出现。关联度较高的话题有“music”,“musical instrument”,“singer”等等，相关词汇和表达可以互通。

首先，通过英文定义确认大致选材范围。“song”一词在牛津和朗文字典中的定义均为“a short piece of music with words that you sing”，因此最妥当的范围是要排除一些纯音乐，例如钢琴曲或一些没有歌词(lyrics)的现代编曲作品等(对于这一点，烤鸭们最好额外长个心眼哟，因为那些被考官从定义上纠正“National Day is actually not a festival, it’s just a HOLIDAY”的同学们很容易反应不过来其中区别的)

其次，“去专业化”，尽量避免生僻的专业音乐词汇。虽然题眼词汇是“歌曲”，但是如果侧重选择歌曲本身的一些特征去描述，显然就是自己给自己设定难题(当然，如果非常熟悉相关词汇的考鸭们除外)。比如“这首歌的主歌(verse)部分几乎使用的是纯人声合唱(acappella)，副歌(chorus)部分则加入了一些R&B的节奏(rhythm)”这样的描述相信多数同学是不愿意尝试的。

因此，将重点放在这首歌对我们的生活产生的影响或在生命里占据的位置是比较明智的思路。例如周杰伦的《稻香》是一首与梦想和家庭有关的歌曲(第一小问)，每次一听到这首歌，都会想到自己小时候为了自己某一个梦想而奋斗的画面，而这首歌的歌词也常常提醒在异乡打拼的我，家是我的港湾，如果累了就回家看看(第四小问)

【解题难点】

1)关于第二和第三两个小问，需要注意的是时态上的切换——尤其是第二小问“when youlistened to this song for the first time”从动词的时态上就提醒了各位同学，要用过去时描述这一段内容。答题时除了提及大致的时间(例如I listened to the song for the first time 6 years ago)还可以对那时进行一个简单的场景扩充(例如when I was a high school student, one of my roommates used hismobile to play that song loudly in our dormitory at 6 am - right after we wokeup)

2)如果是一首中文歌，歌名应该是说中文还是英文?个人建议有三，各位烤鸭各取所需：一，如果本身它就有一个比较官方的英文名，就直接英文名上阵;二，如没有，可就地翻译一个：任意抓取歌名中的一个词进行翻译，例如周杰伦的《告白气球》如果不知道告白怎么说，就直接用“气球”的英文“the song is called the Balloon”即可;三，如果不愿意翻译，直接中文名上阵也行，然后在后面加上一句简单的解释，说明一下大致意思就好了。

雅思口语话题之范文

I‘d like to talk about a beautiful song called the Balloon from Jay Chou, one of the famous pop singers in China.

As a very typical pop song, the Balloon talks about a romantic story happens between a young couple who live in a city in France.

I remember that I listened to the song right after it was released in the summer of 2016. As a huge fan of the singer Jay Chou, I bought that newest album and downloaded it into my mobile without any hesitation. After listening to every single track in the album, I found the Balloon was absolutely the most impressive one with a fairly catchy melody and decent lyrics.

During that period of time, I often played the song at home or in the office, sometimes I even replayed it for the whole afternoon just because it seemed that everyone around me thought the lovely rhythm of the song would bring him or her a good mood. By the way, it could also remind me of the old, sweet days I had back in Australia.

However, recently I seldom listen to this song simply because Jay Chou has published some new hits in this January and they are of high quality as well.

As for the reason why I like the Balloon so much, I believe it’s mainly because it’s one of the best hits of Jay Chou in recent years and it proves that he’s still an excellent singer. You know, before the advent of the song, numerous people started to criticize him for not being as creative as he was. But I do believe he will actually come back with better works in the near future.
