其實(shí),我們可以先大膽站在出題者的角度思考一下,如果想讓考生說說跟工作或者職業(yè)相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,我們可以從哪些角度切入。會(huì)不會(huì)讓大家說說過去的工作經(jīng)歷?有可能。但前提是有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的考生才有話可說;如果是學(xué)生的話,怎么辦?這樣想的話,很可能考官會(huì)讓大家說說你將來想做什么。這樣可以避免學(xué)生人群無話可說的尷尬。這兩種可能性都被大家猜到了。
比如,在2008年3月2日和2006年11月18日兩次考到以下題目: If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do? What's your reason for choosing this job? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
而2009年12月12日的考題為: Describe a special job that you have had in the past or one that you would like to have in the future. Include details and examples in your explanation.
當(dāng)然,除了以上兩種出題方式的可能性,再多的猜測也只能是掛一漏萬。因此,最關(guān)鍵的還是在拿到每個(gè)相關(guān)題目時(shí),在動(dòng)筆或者動(dòng)口前,冷靜、到位地分析出如何解題。解題正確與否,直接關(guān)系到回答是否正中考官下懷。否則就算話語表述再流利可能也會(huì)被考官判個(gè)低分。
我們一起來看看2008年5月10日的一道題:
Choose a profession that you love and you will never work a day in your life. Explain why this profession would be appealing to you and why you wouldn't take it. Include details and examples to support your response.
這道題中并沒有生詞,字面意思大家基本都能看懂。但之所以大家會(huì)犯嘀咕,可能是對(duì)題目的邏輯不太有把握。第一句話的前半句沒有問題,因?yàn)轭}目說的是選擇一個(gè)你喜歡的職業(yè);但后半句話說的是這份職業(yè)你在將來是絕對(duì)不會(huì)碰的。其實(shí)看到這里,大家都有點(diǎn)恍惚了。什么樣的工作是自己內(nèi)心很想做的,但將來又不會(huì)去做的呢?
一起來仔細(xì)思考一下這里的邏輯。比如,我們可以想想,生活中是否有這樣的場景。A好羨慕B的工作啊。B是外科醫(yī)生,每年都可以幫助好多病人恢復(fù)健康,工作有成就感,社會(huì)地位高,收入豐厚。于是A想著大學(xué)畢業(yè)后也去做醫(yī)生。但當(dāng)B告訴A,其實(shí)醫(yī)生這一行很辛苦。每天早出晚歸,陪伴家人的時(shí)間很少。一個(gè)手術(shù)可能要十幾個(gè)小時(shí),對(duì)體力要求很高。另外,如今醫(yī)患關(guān)系緊張,有時(shí)病人情緒一激動(dòng),醫(yī)生可能會(huì)受傷。還沒等B吐完苦水,A就打算放棄這看起來高大上的職業(yè)了,重新選擇自己的職業(yè)道路。
當(dāng)遇到拿捏不準(zhǔn)的題目時(shí),先靜下心來把題目多看幾遍,然后結(jié)合自己的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)來解析題目中蘊(yùn)藏的邏輯。這樣的題,只要邏輯想明白了,其實(shí)好多準(zhǔn)備工作已經(jīng)完成了,包括解讀題目,以及羅列要點(diǎn)。讓我們一起根據(jù)剛才的思路,并結(jié)合上次教研君分享給大家的解題方法,試著在1分鐘內(nèi)完成話題闡述。
第一步,解讀題目:
Choose a profession that you love and you will never work a day in your life. Explain why this profession would be appealing to you and why you wouldn't take it. Include details and examples to support your response.
選擇一個(gè)你喜歡的,但在將來不會(huì)從事的職業(yè)。請(qǐng)說明為什么這份職業(yè)對(duì)你有吸引力,但你不會(huì)去從事這份職業(yè)。請(qǐng)用細(xì)節(jié)和具體的事例來支持你給出的說法。
第二步:謀篇布局:
Intro:doctor
Body:
Love it. Why?
1. help others
2. respected
3. high income
But I won't do it. Why?
1. little time with family
2. need a strong body
3. risks
Transitional words: first, second, third
結(jié)語:therefore
第三步:Sample answer
開門見山亮出觀點(diǎn):A profession that I love but will never take is being a doctor. 喜歡醫(yī)生這個(gè)職業(yè)的理由:It was my dream to become a doctor when I was a child. 1)A doctor can help a lot of people to get rid of some diseases, or even save their lives, and help them to get back to a normal life. 2)That's why doctors are well respected in our society. 3)Besides, for most doctors, especially surgeons, they have a high income and can live in a decent way in a big city like Shanghai. However, I will never take this profession in the future. 不會(huì)從事這一職業(yè)的原因:Though I admire doctors, I know that it is not easy to be a good doctor. 1)First, to make some achievements in this area, a lot of practice and training are required. They have to work on weekends and during holidays, and so have little time to spend with their family members. 2)Second, doctors need a strong body to cope with the heavy workload, especially surgeons. Sometimes, it takes many hours to finish an operation. 3)Third, in recent years, the tension between doctors and patients is not relieved. There may be unexpected risks. 結(jié)論:Therefore, I wouldn't become a doctor though I admire the profession.
