小編:環(huán)球教育整理 951雅思口語(yǔ)考試話題很多,我們要一步一步積累,今天給大家分享的是關(guān)于NAME的話題,感興趣的同學(xué)不要錯(cuò)過(guò)了。
Name:
1. What is your full name? How should I address you? How should I call you?
My full name is XXX. And my English name is Jennie. You are welcome to call me Jennie.
Notes: 回答姓名雖然是很簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題,但是考生要通過(guò)簡(jiǎn)單的擴(kuò)展展現(xiàn)出自己與小學(xué)生英文水平的不同。很多人把全名full(短音)name念成傻瓜名字fool(長(zhǎng)音)name而貽笑大方。在這里考生沒(méi)有必要大做文章,只要講清楚姓名就可以。同時(shí)因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)考官不太會(huì)念中文名字,所以最好給出英文名字。
2. Does your name have any special meaning or significance?
Yes, it does have a special meaning. Literally it means to travel as far as beyond the stars.
Strategy:在這里可以運(yùn)用一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)小的技巧。為了從眾多考生中脫穎而出,我們可以在準(zhǔn)備充分的基礎(chǔ)上加上一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)新意。充分發(fā)揮想象力,比如說(shuō):我們就可以講這個(gè)姓名是算命先生給的,并且有了這個(gè)名字就可以嫁個(gè)老公
What’s more, this name was given by a fortune-teller and he said with this name I would marry a great guy.
Notes:其實(shí)不知道自己姓名的意思也沒(méi)關(guān)系。只要坦誠(chéng)的告訴考官就可以。但是不可以簡(jiǎn)單的說(shuō)“I don’t know”,而應(yīng)該做合理的猜測(cè)以展現(xiàn)自己出自己流利的英文表達(dá)。但是在猜測(cè)的時(shí)候,考生可以充分的發(fā)揮想象力,沒(méi)有必要長(zhǎng)篇大論。
I don’t really know. It is given by my grandfather. I guess it means to travel as far as beyond the starts, because he also wanted me to become a great and successful person.
3. Have you ever changed your name? Why or why not?
No, I haven’t. I’m very happy about my Chinese name. And I guess I am never going to change it.
Well, yes. The previous name I had just sounds so silly. It is even close to the Chinese word for “baboon”. So in order to avoid continuing embarrassing myself, I changed it. And now I’m happy about my current name.
Notes:這道題通常是為下面的題目作鋪墊。有兩種答題的方向,考生可以自己做出選擇。
4. Do Chinese people like changing their names? Why or why not?
In my personal opinion, generally Chinese people don’t like changing their names, because to most people names are just symbols, though some people do believe names can affect the course of their life. In that case, if they are not content with who they are or what they have, they may change their names.
What kind of people like changing their names?
Well, generally Chinese people don’t like changing their names. But if they do, they must believe names are important to them, more than just symbols, or somehow carries a significant meaning to them. Among them, of course, some people are just superstitious.
名字對(duì)大多數(shù)中國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)確實(shí)只是一個(gè)符號(hào)。但是如果名字對(duì)一個(gè)人有特別的含義則有可能促使人改名字。
What’s their purpose in changing their names?
It is hard to say. But as far as I know there are two major purposes. Number one, people change their names to make their names sound better. Number two, they change their names in order to change their destiny, because they believe names can affect the course of their life, no matter it is superstitious belief or just a willful thought.
Well, this is a big question. As far as I know, I don’t think Chinese people like to change their names often. Because most people believe names are just symbols. They don’t change anything. And destiny is in their own hands to make.
Notes:該題目與前一道題目形成對(duì)比,前一道題目是個(gè)人的行為,本題目涉及的是群體的行為。姓名的改變通常由于以下一些原因:1、聲音不好聽(tīng)或拗口2、與其他詞(通常不是好詞)諧音3、迷信,認(rèn)為改變姓名可以改變運(yùn)道等。
5. In your culture, do women change their names when they get married?
I know it is quite common for women to take on their spouse’s family name in other cultures. But in my culture, that is not the case—women often keep their maiden name even after getting married. But the children will follow the father’s surname.
Notes:女子出嫁后而不隨夫姓,這是中國(guó)很普遍的現(xiàn)象。而國(guó)外卻大多與此相反??忌梢圆扇≈型鈱?duì)比的方式回答問(wèn)題。
