多邻国英语测试口语的顶尖技巧:掌握“描述照片”任务

12-09-2024

你好,未来的DET(多邻国英语测试)冠军们!欢迎来到DET Practice。今天,我们将探讨如何应对DET中的“Speak about the Photo”部分。首先,让我们了解一下“Speak about the Photo”问题是什么:

这一部分在官方DET学习指南中有所介绍,它包括一个独特的口语练习。不像TOEFL或IELTS中的口语任务,这项任务要求你用英语口头描述一张照片。这会影响到“会话”和“产出”分数,答题时间为30-90秒。

*想了解更多关于‘Speak about the Photo’任务的详细介绍,建议阅读我们之前的文章:“Speak about the Photo”。

要了解DET评分和提高策略,请参考“Duolingo English Test Scores: Insights and Comparisons”和“The Ultimate Guide to the Duolingo English Test”两篇文章。

在口语任务中取得好成绩需要在规定时间内保持流利性。这在其他语言测试如TOEFL或IELTS中也同样重要。在‘Speak about the Photo’任务中的一个挑战是缺乏预设的提示,这使得持续1分30秒的回答变得困难,特别是当照片元素有限时。那么,我们可以采用什么策略呢?

Speak about the Photo’的策略

在深入探讨具体技巧之前,先来看一张示例照片。请注意,DET经常使用包含人的图像,这些图像可能包括面部表情或动作的特写。

客观描述

在DET中,口语任务的评分基于与主题的相关性。我们建议在最初的30秒内进行客观描述,以确保你的回答与主题相关。例如,如果照片显示一个金发的小孩在户外环境中的婴儿车里睡觉,周围可能是森林或公园的茂密绿色植物,你可以描述小孩的穿着(白色T恤和灰色短裤,暗示温暖的夏日下午)以及停在他头上的蝴蝶。你还可以传达宁静的氛围,并推测这是父母捕捉到的宁静时刻。在‘Speak about the Photo’中,可以考虑讨论人物、服装、动作、职业、身份、情感状态、面部表情和周围环境。

根据我们之前的讨论,你的回答可能是这样的:

So, what we’re looking at here is really a picture-perfect scene taken outdoors. The greenery is vibrant—there’s grass, and trees all around, so I’m thinking this could be a beautiful park or maybe even a bit of forest area. Now, right in the heart of this natural setting, we’ve got this adorable blond child, just fast asleep in their stroller. They’re dressed in the simplest summer outfit, you know, a white T-shirt, grey shorts—totally what you’d wear on a sunny afternoon. And there’s this little surprise—a butterfly has landed right on their head! It’s one of those moments that’s just so peaceful, so serene, it’s got to be one of those memories that parents love to capture. It’s the kind of day that just feels like a gift, doesn’t it?

是的,这个答案听起来不错。但有一个问题,它太短了。这个答案可能不足以维持1分钟30秒的讲话时间。

个人评论

可以添加个人评论吗?可以。在客观描述照片后,与内容相关的个人评论是一个可行的策略。但要注意句子的数量(3-5句),以避免偏离主题。个人评论有助于扩展回答,同时保持相关性。

对于上面的例子,我们可以补充:

Well, looking at this image really warms my heart. It’s such a delightful scene. Being outdoors, taking in the fresh air, it’s incredibly beneficial for kids—both for their physical health and mental well-being. They get to be up close to nature, run around, jump, and even interact with wildlife, like this gentle butterfly here. It’s fantastic because it’s not just about staying active; it’s about feeding their curiosity as well. I truly believe that kids should engage in outdoor activities more often.

这个答案看起来不错,我们添加了自己的评论并努力保持回答在主题上。所以,记住,添加个人评论是扩展‘Speak about the Photo’问题的一个好方法。还有其他方法可以扩展答案吗?请继续阅读下面的内容。

照片背景

考虑一下照片的背景。我们可以想象一下,这张照片是在什么情况下拍摄的。就我们上面的例子来看,我们可以想象。这张照片可能是孩子的父母拍摄的,这可能是一个周末(因为他们不用工作,有时间外出或去公园散步或放松),这是一个家庭出游的场景。或者这张照片让你想起了什么?例如,你自己的童年经历。我们可以说这张照片让我想起了我的童年,我的父母经常带我去家附近的公园,公园里的风景和图片一样美丽。好了,是时候进一步扩展答案了,让我们继续上一段的回答:

You know, this photo might very well have been taken by the child’s parents, capturing a slice of family time—perhaps over the weekend when there’s no work to rush to, allowing for a leisurely stroll in the outdoors or some relaxing time in the park. And it’s the kind of scene that nudges at my own memories, taking me back to my childhood. My parents would often take me to the park near our home, much like the one in this picture, where the scenery was just as picturesque.

现在答案看起来更充实了。

加入个人感受

这会偏离主题吗?如果操作正确,就不会。这是展示你技能的部分,因为我们谈论的是图片带给我们的感受,例如,我们可以这样说:

So, it’s more than just a photograph; it’s a reminder of those carefree, joyful days. It’s about the bond we share with our loved ones and the simple pleasures of life, like watching your child sleep peacefully under the watchful eye of nature. You know, this image is a beautiful echo of times spent with family, treasured and timeless.

好了,就是这样。我相信我们有一个相当完整且高水平的口语答案示例,让我们把它们整合在一起:

The greenery is vibrant—there’s grass, and trees all around, so I’m thinking this could be a beautiful park or maybe even a bit of forest area.
