雅思口语近期难题之描述植物

雅思口语新题中出现了一道让考生们很头疼的植物题。植物除了从外观习性方面描述之外，还可以从其实际用途或文化价值的角度去描述，可以使大家不至于无话可说。下面是雅思口语近期难题之描述植物，跟小编一起来了解下吧：

Describe an important plant in your country (such as vegetables, flowers, fruits, trees)

You should say

What plant it is

How you know it

Why it is important

Explain how you like it

Ø Describe a kind of flower that you like

What flower it is

What it looks like

Where the flower usually grows

Where you have seen this kind of flower

Why you like it

从这两道关于植物类的话题，大家完全可以找出两道题的共同点，也就是找出共同素材来对题目进行解答。雅思口语的题目当中，不断出现老题回归、旧题改编等形式，面对种种的“换汤不换药”，考生们可以冷静地分析下考试的内容，从容应对。例如，在这两道题中大家分析后发现只要找寻flower这个要素，便抓住了两道题的共同切入点。那么在这里，笔者给考生们总结下在花这个部分准备时需要注意的几点：

1. 素材的选择需要创新性。考生在雅思口语中想要取得高分或者令自己满意的分数，除了要具备良好的英语语言能力以外，素材的新颖性和创新性尤其需要注意。所以，考生们应该抛开rose这种完全被用滥的话题(正如前文所提到的一样)，去找寻有创意性的素材在口语备考和答题时进行使用。

2. 分类词汇的储备。关于flower这个话题，除了花名，考生还需要对分类词汇做好必要的准备，毕竟在考题中还设置了what it looks like这样的问题。对于花的外观描述，会涉及到花朵(bloom/blossom)、花瓣(petal)、花蕾(bud)、花香(fragrance)这些词汇的运用。所以，考生们需要对分类词汇进行整理，储备有效词汇。

3. 注重素材和生活之间的联系性。很多考生在课堂上对于题目当中涉及“why do you like it”或者“how do you like it”的问题会产生困扰。因为他们认为自己对于花类词汇并不爱好，根本无法答题。其实不然，如果考生足够细心和有想象力，那么一定可以在碰及这样的问题的时候，很好地将素材和生活联系起来。举个例子，如果考生在这里运用的素材是jasmine, 那么在答题的时候不妨大胆地将jasmine和生活中的jasmine tea相连：The reason why I like jasmine is that, you know, jasmine tea is my favorite drink. 既然找到并且建立了素材和生活之间的联系，那么后面考生将可以顺利的对jasmine tea进行阐述，也就是找到了原因的依托点。

You should say

- what the plant is

- where it is grown

- why you like or dislike it

- and explain why it is important to your country.

参考范文：关于中国的“发菜”

I would like to describe about Fat Choy which is a plant grown in the deserts in the northern part of China. You may link up Fat Choy with the famous Chinese Greetings "Kung Hei Fat Choy" when you heard about it at the first time. Yes, they are pronounce in the same way in Chinese. It is black in color and looks like vermicelli when it is soaked with water.

Fat Choy is used in some Chinese Recipes and the dishes are quite popular during Chinese New Year. People like to have some dishes which relates to rich and wealth at the beginning of a year. Thanks to its name pronouncing similar to Kung Hei Fat Choi, Fat Choi is always in great demand. Interesting enough, nutritionists examine Fat Choy and confirm that it has no nutrition value at all, although they are loved by the Chinese people.

I personally like the plant. But I don't like to have it in my dishes. Fat Choy is important to northern part of China, not because of its name relating to wealth, but its unique function in the wild to anchor the sand in desert. Over harvesting of Fay Choy has already brought a disaster consequence of worsening the desertification of northern part of China.

To make things worst, Fat Choy is a plant in the wild and planting it artificially is difficult. It could only be grown in the dessert with some other specific environmental factors. Fat Choy is now in extinction. I personally like this plant very much because of its strong characteristic, uniqueness and usefulness. And I would like to take any chance to advocate protection of Fay Choy within and outside China. It is already good to greet your friend with "Kung Hei Fat Choy" during Chinese New Year and you can leave Fay Choy in the dessert.

Paddy plant or rice plant is a very common plant which is grown in our country. The farmers of our country cultivate it and it is grown in most of the places in our country. If you go to a countryside in paddy season, you will find this plant is dancing with the wind. This plant grows well in fertile land and needs a good supply of water and sunlight. Rice is our chip food and we get rice from this paddy plant.

The paddy plant is a medium side plant which is thin and the leaves and body of this plant are green. Usually, the rice seed is green in early states and becomes yellow when it is ripe. Our economy heavily depends on our rice production. Our environment, soil, water and fields are in favour of producing a large quantity of rice each year.

Since I live in a city now, I don't see these plants here but in my childhood whenever I went to visit our village, I found this plant in every field. Mile after mile farmers cultivate paddy plants and wish to get a good quantity of rice. These paddy plants are beautiful and create a harmony with the wind if you hear closely. The dancing of this plant with the wind is something that would simply create a magical hallucination.

I also like it because this plant provides us rice which is our staple food. The taste and food value are quite good and it is our main crop. Every part of this plant has its usefulness. Our economy has a good dependency on the production of rice which we get from this plant. In our country, this is probably the most important plant we grow.
