雅思口语考试必备词汇 雅思词汇

　　在雅思口语考试中，有很大几率被问到有关“天气”主题的问题，这个问题可能是问考生所在国家/地区的天气，或者是问你去过其他国家/地区的天气。那么我们该怎么回答考官有关天气的问题呢，天气相关的雅思词汇你必须懂，然后还有就是雅思风格的问答也要懂。
　　一、部分风格的问题：
　　1、Examiner: What’s the weather like in your country?（雅思考官：你们国家的天气怎么样?）
　　luca: It’s quite changeable really … we have periods of time with clear blue skies then all of a sudden we’ll have torrential rain.（卢卡:天气变化无常........，有时晴空万里，突然下起倾盆大雨。）

　　2、Examiner: Which months have the best weather in your country?
　　（主考人：哪个月是你们国家好的天气？）
　　Ernst: Well … I suppose it’s a matter of personal taste really … I like it around the end of October and November … I’m not fond of the heatwaves we often get during the summer … it’s not freezing cold during these months and we still get lots of sunny spells.
　　（恩斯特：嗯……我想这真的是个人品味的问题……我喜欢10月底和11月底的时候……我不喜欢夏天经常出现的热浪……这几个月天气不冷，我们还有很多晴天。）
　　3、xaminer: Does it bother you much when it rains?（Xaminer：下雨的时候你会很烦吗？）
　　Junko: It depends … if I get caught in the rain and I get drenched I don’t like it … but I’m a gardener so a drop of rain is good for my plants.
　　（Junko：要看情况……如果我被雨水淋湿了，我不喜欢它……但我是个园丁，所以一下雨对我的植物有好处。）
　　第二部分，一般是要你描述你遇到极端天气的状况的时间，这个时候你可以这样搞定雅思考官：
　　1、这是什么时候
　　2、你在哪里
　　3、天气如何
　　4、并说出你对这种体验的感受
　　I was studying English in a language school a few years ago … we were in Cornwall in the UK … we’d been enjoying lovely sunny days … not a cloud in the sky … when all of a sudden there was a change in the weather … we were in town walking around the shops when it started to pour down … I’d never seen such heavy rain before … within about 10 minutes the roads were full of water … I think they call it a flash flood … it was like being in the middle of a tropical storm … the water was almost up to my knees … the weather forecast hadn’t predicted it so everyone was taken by surprise … I’m not sure you could call it ‘extreme’ weather as a few hours later it started to clear up … the sun came out and slowly the water level went down … but a lot of people’s houses were flooded so it would have been extreme for them … I found it all quite exciting … in my country we generally have a very mild climate and don’t often get floods like this so it was quite an experience for me.
　　我是几年前在一个语言学校学习英语……我们在英国康沃尔郡……我们一直在享受阳光明媚的日子……天空中没有一朵云彩……突然间，天气发生了变化……我们在城里逛商店时，突然下起倾盆大雨……我从来没有见过这样的大雨。…在大约10分钟内，道路上充满了水……我想他们称之为山洪……就像是在一场热带风暴的中间……水几乎快到我的膝盖了……天气预报没有预测到这一点，所以每个人都被吓了一跳……我不确定你是否可以称之为“极端”天气，因为几个小时后乌云慢慢的消散，太阳出来了，水位慢慢下降了……但是很多人的房子都被水淹没了，所以对他们来说可能是极端的……我发现这一切都很令人兴奋……在我的国家，我们的气候通常非常温和，而且不经常发生这样的洪水，所以这对我来说是一种很好的体验。
　　第三部分雅思口语考试风格：（篇幅就不带中文了哦）
　　Examiner: Do you think the weather affects how people feel?
　　Tierre: Absolutely … yes … I don’t mind the occasional cold spell but I think the winter months can make you feel down. I hate having to leave the house in the winter … there’s often a thick fog every morning and we sometimes get bitterly cold winds … the winter certainly makes me feel a little depressed … though having said that … it’s always nice to see the town covered in a blanket of snow.
　　Examiner: Do you think the weather is changing due to global warming?
　　Ceri: I don’t know if it’s due to global warming or not but the weather in my country is certainly changing … we’ve been getting quite mild winters lately … the temperatures are sometimes below freezing but only occasionally … and then during the summer it can get boiling hot with a lot of older people even suffering from heatstroke.
　　Examiner: In which ways are weather forecasts useful?
　　Sinita: Well … if you’re planning a trip or going on holiday it’s important to know whether you’ll need to dress up warm or take an umbrella … farmers need to know what the long-range forecast is so they can plan their work … I suppose people who organise outside events need to know as well in case things get rained off.
