雅思口语话题-咖啡馆
地点类可以说也是雅思口语话题的一大类,也是最近超高频话题之一。所以环球雅思老师以咖啡馆为例,具体介绍一下此类话题应该如何去拓展。
例题:
Describe a café you have been to.
You should say:
Where it is.
What it looks like.
What kinds of services are provided?
What kind of food you like there.
Why you like it.
思路拓展:
Where it is.问的就是咖啡馆的地理位置,很多考生习惯性回答“It ’s near „„/ It’s quite close to „„”这样的词汇太简单太普遍了,建议可以换成“Be adjacent to „”、“Be vicinity to „”这样的词组,让考官眼前一亮。
What it looks like.需要考生对于咖啡馆有一个具体的描写,包括内部设施、外部环境、给人的感觉等等。
对于装饰可以用词组“Simply decorated „”、“Well-decorated „”,句型“There are ____painting hanging on the wall ____.”
内部风格可以说是“It is furnished with ____in a ___style.”、“Traditional Chinese style”、“Western style ( antique , classical , gentle & warm)”.
对于气氛的描绘,词组:quiet and peaceful,Romantic & exotic(异国情调),Get away from the hustle and bustle of outside.
What kinds of services are provided? & What kind of food you like there.这两个问题问的是食物和服务,大众化回答就是“The food there is delicious and the service is quite good.”看看老师是怎样回答的吧。

Why you like it.问的是你喜欢它的理由,不外乎从食物、服务、环境等角度去说。
例:Firstly, the food is of a good quality and well prepared. For example, they prepare only fresh fish, which they purchase at the fish market in _____. Secondly, the waiting staff is always friendly, polite, and helpful.
