雅思口語 描寫事物的變化
口語中有一類比較重要的題型就是描述事物的變化。今天小編就來爲大家整理一下究竟要怎麼破解這一種題型。
問題示例
飲食習慣變化：How are the eating habits now in your country different from eating habits in the past?
休閒方式變化：Are the types of leisure activities that are popular today the same as those that were popular when your parents were young?
購物習慣變化：How have shopping habits changed over recent years?
交通方式變化：Have the types of transport people use changed much over the last few decades?
描述變化這種題型時需要注意語法和詞組。
一、描述過去
描述現在和過去不同的事常用used to “Vietnam used to be a colony of France, (but now it is independent)”“Jimmy Carter used to be the President of the United States, (but now he isn’t.)”This can, of course be used to give personal information.“I used to smoke, (but I gave up 2 years ago.)”“Mike used to be a detective in the CID, (but now he’s a teacher)”
二、描述比較
比較是一種很好的描述變化的方法。一般過去時，現在完成時，一般現在時三種時態都可能用到。 一般過去時： "Thirty years ago, the streets were much quieter than now.”一般過去時：“I think that reading was much more popular in the past.”現在完成時：“The streets have become much noisier.” (Notice, a time is not needed)一般現在時：“Reading is much less popular than it was in the past.”
三、猜測
將來的事情，誰也不確定會怎麼樣，做猜測的時候經常用would。 “It would have been harder for my grand father to find out about international news, because there was no radio or T.V in his village.”
“In the past, people would have traveled less often.”
其他詞彙也可以表示猜測 (perhaps, possibly, might, may, etc.) “I’m not sure but, perhaps, they might have studied less science thirty years ago”“Possibly, in my father’s day, people could have played more sport.”
四、小總結
問題的常見形式“How do you think … is different from thirty years ago?”“In what ways has … changed from when your parents were young?
“How is … different from twenty years ago?”
五、常用詞組及時態
描述過去用used to比較現在與過去可以用一般過去時/一般現在時/現在完成時猜測未來用would,perhaps, possibly, might, may等。
