And explain how you felt

範文：

I’m a big fan of photography so I clearly remembered how I waited for my first camera I bought in an online store.

I was in the habit of online shopping then so when I got the enough budget to purchase an expensive camera and lens in April last year before I planed to travel, I placed an order immediately in that website and waited for the delivery anxiously at home with myself.

The ship would not be shipped the same day because there were always a large amount of orders in the website, but it would be sent the next day. So I had to wait for a whole day. I constantly checked the shipping status in the website to see how the delivery processed, and I would always be very delighted to find a change in the procedure. You know, it always would be a long and painful time before you get something you dream of.

I couldn’t have a better understanding of what wait means if I didn’t experience waiting for the result for my first job interview. At that time, I just graduated from university and got an interview opportunity from a big famous company. I was overjoyed when hearing this. I remembered that there was only one week left for my job interview. I searched for floods of information about the history and major market of the company to fully prepare the interview. On the interview day, I began to know that there are four rounds of interviews before the final result came. First of all, I had to complete the written test. After that, I had to meet a department leader for face-to-face interview. In the third round, I had to complete a group task with other competitors. Finally, I had the opportunity to confront one of the chief executive with a final brainstorm activity. Fortunately, I won the opportunity for the fourth round. However, they told me to wait for the result in the end. I waited for the offer for two weeks. Yes, I was very confident that there could be an offer waiting for me. Nevertheless, they didn’t call me back. I can’t tolerate the fact that they didn’t give me a feedback, so I called them. They said sorry about the delaying offer but without any explanation. Coincidentally, I had to move to another city for some personal reasons. So I gave up that offer. That offer once was so special for me, but then it meant little in the end.

I felt unsatisfied without any reasonable explanation for the delaying notification of the offer. I spent so much time preparing and experiencing the interviews so I tolerated with the wait. I could understand that there’re perhaps some complicated processes to deal with before they issue an offer. However, I can’t feel any equal respect from them. At least they should do what they promised to me. Even if I didn’t move to the city I live now, I could still linger on accepting the offer. I suffered a lot from the more than two-week wait.

　　雅思口語part2話題答案:wait for something to happen

Describe a situation you waited for something to happen.

You should say:

when and where it happened;

what you waited for;

how long you waited for it;

and explain how you felt about waiting.

參考範文：

Ok right then, well after thinking for a little bit just now, what I’ve decided to talk about is the time I waited for a boat at the West Lake in Hangzhou. And as for when this happened, well I suppose it must have been about two or three months ago by now, and it was on a weekend, so we kind of knew that there would be a long queue for the boats!

So yeah, when we got there, we were told that there would be a wait of about an hour or so, at least, which was what we pretty much expected. But we didn’t feel like twiddling our thumbs and hanging around for an hour doing nothing, so instead, what we actually decided to do was to get a ticket number first and then go for a walk around the lake, have lunch and then come back again in the afternoo n. Do it that way!

And I’m glad to say that, when we went back later and showed the guy our ticket, he told us we could get on the next boat. So we felt pretty good about it, and it was quite a relief as well, cos I mean, he could have told us that we missed our turn and would have to get another ticket number, you know, like they do in the bank. But thankfully, he took pity on us, especially after I’d said that we had waited for about 4 hours! So yeah, it all worked out pretty well for us, cos we almost immediately got onto a boat. I’m not sure the other people waiting were very impressed, cos it kind of looked like we were queue barging, but anyway, that’s basically what happened!

So that’s about it, thanks for listening!

亮點詞彙：

Queue –隊伍 (it can be used as a noun or verb)

Wait – here it is used as a noun

It was what we pretty much expected. – 跟我們想象的差不多一樣

twiddling our thumbs – do nothing, 無所作爲 (撫弄大拇指)

hanging around -閒呆着

it was quite a relief -令人慶幸,讓我們鬆了一口氣

he took pity on us – 他同情了我們

it all worked out pretty well for us - 最終結果不錯

queue barging – jumping the queue, 插隊

　　雅思口語備考練習中的技巧應用

第一，如何用英文簡單界定一個東西的技巧。美國人和美國人交談80%是想告訴對方這個事物是什麼。我們的課本儘管詞彙難度不斷加深，但思維邏輯結構卻只停留在一個水平上。中國人常說Where is the book(這本書在哪兒)?很少有人說What is a book(書是什麼)?而美國的小學生就開始問：What is the book?這種Where is the book只是思維的描述階段。但是我想連大學生也很難回答What is a book?因爲中國傳統英語教學模式沒有教會學生表達思想的技巧。因此，雅思口語技巧的尋找與使用並不是那麼容易，它的尋找需要學生思維的發散。

第二，如果已經學會界定，但理解還有偏差，那就要訓練How to explain things indifferentways(用不同的方式解釋同一事物)。一種表達式對方不懂，美國人會尋找另一種表達式最終讓對方明白。因爲事物就一個，但表達它的語言符號可能會很多。這就要多做替換練習。傳統的教學方法也做替換練習，但這種替換不是真替換，只是語言層面的替換，而不是思維層面的替換。比如，Iloveyou(我愛你)。

按我們教學的替換方法就把you換成her，mymother等，這種替換和小學生練描紅沒有什麼區別。這種替換沒有對智力構成挑戰，沒有啓動思維。這種替換句子的基本結構沒變，我聽不懂Iloveyou，肯定也聽不懂I love her。如果替換爲I want to kiss you，I want to hugyou，Iwill show my hearttoyou等，或者給對方講電影《泰坦尼克》，告訴對方那就是愛，這樣一來對方可能就明白了。這才叫真正的替換。也就是說用一種不同的方式表達同一個意思，或者一個表達式對方聽不清楚，舉一個簡單易懂的例子來表達，直到對方明白。

第三，我們必須學會美國人怎樣描述東西。從描述上來講，由於中美的文化不同會產生很大的差異。我們描述東西無外乎把它放在時間和空間兩個座標上去描述。美國人對空間的描述總是由內及外，由裏及表。而中國人正好相反。從時間上來說，中國人是按自然的時間順序來描述。我們描述一個東西突然停住時，往往最後說的那個地方是最重要的。美國人在時間的描述上先把最重要的東西說出來，然後再說陪襯的東西。只有發生悲劇性的事件，美國人才在前面加上鋪墊。這就是中國人和美國人在時間描述上的巨大差別。

第四，在雅思口語練習當中，要學會使用重要的美國習語。不容易學、易造成理解困惑的東西就是“習語”。比如北京人說蓋了帽兒了，外國人很難理解，這就是習語。所以和美國人交流時，能適當地運用美國習語，他馬上就會覺得很親切，也很愛和你交流。那麼什麼是習語?就是每個單詞你都認識，但把它們組合在一起，你就不知道是什麼意思了。

第五，學會兩種語言的傳譯能力。這是衡量口語水平的一個最重要標準。因爲英語不是我們的母語，我們天生就有自己的母語。很多人都認爲學好外語必須丟掉自己的母語，這是不對的。

第六，要有猜測能力。爲什麼美國人和美國人、中國人和中國人之間交流很少產生歧義?就是因爲他們之間能“猜測”。我們的教學不提倡“猜測”。但我覺得猜測對學好美國口語很重要。在交流中，有一個詞你沒有聽懂，你不可能馬上去查字典，這時候就需要猜測來架起一座橋樑來彌補這個缺口，否則交流就會中斷。

中國人學習口語講究背誦，背句型、背語調，結果就是很多人講口語的時候講着講着眼就開始向上翻，實際上是在記憶中尋找曾經背過的東西。如果他要是能猜測的話，我想也就不會出現這種現象。
