Furniture作为9月开考天就浮出水面的新题,一定会让不少学生感到惊讶。但其实“家具“这个话题在雅思口语题库中并不是出现,它其实是Part 2经典旧题Describe a piece of furniture in your home的一个变形,这种出题方式在雅思口语考试中其实是屡见不鲜的,下面苏州新航道雅思培训小编为大家详细解析一下9月新出的雅思口语话题吧。
1.Is there much furniture in your room?
No, not really, there’s only a desk, a small table and a bed really. Oh, and I also have a bedside table with a lamp on it. I use this to keep some books on. I like reading thriller novels, you see, and I often read in bed before going to sleep so the bedside table and lamp is quite handy.
解析:首先大家要注意,furniture是个不可数名词,形容一件家具就只能用“a piece of furniture”,大家在回答中要注意单复数。很多考生在回答这道题时,回答完“我家都有啥家具“后似乎就不知道还应该拓展什么内容了。我们完全可以采取model answer中的这个回答,抓取某一个家具来解释。比如答案中提到的是一个bedside table,这个家具想必很多同学的家里都有的。答案说,这个床头柜上有很多书,因为自己睡前喜欢看一些书,这样更容易入睡。thriller novels的意思是,恐怖/惊悚题材的小说,thriller这个词也可以指(关于罪案或间谍的)惊险小说(或戏剧、电影) 。
2.What kind of furniture would you like to buy?
I’d really like to buy a bookshelf. I have a growing collection of books. And I would like to store them on a proper bookshelf, rather than just piling them up in the corner of the room or on my bedside table which I do at the moment. So, yeah, a bookshelf, a nice wooden bookshelf would be nice in my room and keep it a bit more tidy and enable me to organise my books properly.
解析:答案中提到的是一个书架,bookshelf。因为如果有书架,书的摆放会更加整齐,而不是像现在这样都堆在bedside table上面。答案中提到一个短语,pile something up,这个短语的意思是“堆积,堆放“。
3.Who has bought or gave furniture for you?
My parents have usually bought furniture for my room, actually. We’ve always lived in quite small places so I’ve never really had much furniture. But they bought me a bookshelf, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers for my clothes and things like this. My uncle once bought me a really nice chair actually, a sort of desk-chair so I could be more comfortable when I’m studying.
解析:答案中提到了几个家具的名称,比如wardrobe衣柜,这个单词在雅思听力中也是一个高频机经词汇,希望大家可以学习并记忆。a chest of drawers这个单词的意思是五斗柜,五斗橱。desk-chair的意思是课桌椅。
