发朋友圈是send a friend circle？雅思口语现场这样说就尴尬了
浏览量：170次
在雅思口语考试中，关于科技产品的话题是经常遇到的，比如智能手机。在之前的口语题库中，就出现了一道题，要介绍手机应用软件。
话题如下：
Vol.1
Describe an application you often use on your phone or computer.
You should say:
What it is
When you started to use it
Why you often use it
And explain how you feel about it
一般人听到这个题目，第一反应就会介绍现在最常用的几款社交软件——包括微信、微博、抖音等等。再具体一点还会描述利用这些手机软件做些什么，有什么功能,你对这款软件感受如何等等。
但是！因为这些软件平时都是用中文看的，如果用英文表达，很多烤鸭就会开始冒出一些中式表达。比如，微信的英文直接表述成“weixin”，发朋友圈直接表述成“send a friend circle”，“有人@你”直接表述成“someone at you”。。。
还有一些烤鸭会卡在一些翻译不过来的中文表达。比如，你知道“刷抖音”、“刷微博”用英语怎么表达吗？你知道“点赞”怎么表达吗？
下面小编就先给大家来一波当代年轻人必备的，手机常用软件的相关英语表达！
微信
微信应该是最多人提及的应用软件，因为适用人群最广，使用时间也最长。

当然，在介绍一款手机应用软件时，上述三个是比较常见的答案。但你换位思考一下，考官每天面试那么多人，大部分考生回答的可能都是类似的答案，虽然只要表达没错，分数也不会给得太低。
但是如果你能跳出框架，介绍手机上的其他一些软件。比如女生最爱用的美图秀秀（Meitu），大家听音乐常用的网易云（NetEase Music），旅游常用的携程（Ctrip）等等，都可以积累他们相关的表达，还可以和音乐、旅游等相关话题联系起来，这样的回答更容易让考官眼前一亮~
接下来，又是一波雅思口语难题解析环节啦，真题/新题/难题，撞到这些标签题应该是直接要原地爆炸啦！
首先答题原则repeat 3遍，part1每一题尽量达到3句话的回答，part2部分则尽量满足2分钟的回答上限时间，记住一个原则：被打断不是坏事，内容过少必然要扣分。
话虽如此，难点话题中文都说不出来几句话，何况是英文呢！
譬如5月新题季part1难题Special costumes就是一道让人头皮发紧的题,细看小题：
Special costumes:
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
3. When was your last time to wear special costumes?
4. Do you buy special costumes?
回答这些喜好题时尽量遵循本心，但是不要一位NO,NO,NO,毫无有效信息输出，再不喜欢或者没有相关经验仍然可以给出具体的理由或者对比等信息来拓展语言输出！
首先话题关键词整理一波：
dressing style
穿衣风格
dressing code
穿衣礼节
be passionate about…
喜欢
traditional costumes
传统服饰
costume party
化妆晚会
school annual party
学校年会
school show
学校表演
make a grand appearance
隆重出场
handcrafts
手工艺
cost-efficient
性价比高的
好词的运用提高单词难度以及回答思路的拓展。以下的参考答案大家可以模仿和复述学习啊！
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?
As far as I'm concerned, I haven't met many chances to put on special costumes,cause at school/work, we have strict dressing code for what to wear and what not to.
But I am quite interested in special costumes, especially like those from Han or Tang dynasty for the reason that they are so unique and delicate.
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
It’s been ages ago. The time I wore a costume when I was a kid was for our school annual party where I signed up for a school show and had to wear a stage costume which was a knee-length evening gown( tuxedo for men) to suit the occasion.
3.When was your last time to wear special costumes?
Last time when my friend organized a Halloween costume party at his place and I was invited to the party and worn a zombie costume to suit the theme of the night and it was a good look that night because I got to scare a few people at the party, which was hilarious.
4. Do you buy special costumes?
Well, personally I tend to rent them from a costume store, because costumes are often very pricey due to their design and delicate material and complicated making process, which usually involves handcrafts. Renting is more cost-efficient in comparison.
Part2部分来看一道题，难解程度史无前例：
Describe an art or craft activity (eg: painting, woodwork ,etc) that you had (at school)
You should say:
What you madeHow you made itWhat it was likeAnd explain how you felt about the activity
就算你是art或者craft忠粉，英语想要数清楚还是得去找维基百科啦！不过思路选的巧，话题难不倒！
接下来分享一个简单思路来攻克这道题：
关键词：
celebrate庆祝
Mother's Day card母亲节卡片
hand-made gift手工礼物
cut out some nice patterns from our picture book从图片书中裁图案
color them with crayons用蜡笔涂色
glue粘上
stickers小贴纸
sprinkle glitters洒金粉
write our best wishes写祝福
express my gratitude表达感谢
sign our name署名
draw little hearts画上小心心
send it to my mom送给妈妈
Actually, how I grew up when I was little, our school didn't really offer lots of craft activities in class.
But there was one time, on mother's day, in order to celebrate this special day, our class held this special craft activity about making some hand-made gifts to send them to our moms.
So our drawing teacher was there to help us. First of all, what we needed to do was cut out some nice patterns from our picture book, like little flowers or trees or clouds.
And then we just colored them with our crayons to make them look colorful and pretty. Later we glued those patterns onto the face of the card, after that, we were given some stickers like some cute little smiling faces to decorate the card.
As the final touch we were taught to sprinkle some glitters on the card to make them look shiny and pretty.
After the card was made,the teacher guided us to write down our best wishes to our moms to express our gratitude as well as wish them a happy mother's day.
At the end we all signed our names at the bottom of the card and drew some little hearts besides.So it was actually very memorable activity cause I still remember how my mom reacted that day when I gave her the card.
She was really surprised and kissed me on the cheek. It was really some special and precious experience for me.
