1、关于culture雅思口语话题解读 culture，文化。这是一个经久不衰的考题，下面我就给大家共享一些关于culture雅思口语话题解读，仅供参考。 雅思口语话题culture A foreign culture Ok, well one of the foreign cultures Im most interested in at the moment is American culture, so thats what Ive decided to talk about. And as for what I know about it, well if Im gonna be tota

2、lly honest with you, I really dont know that much, mainly because I havent yet been to the States, so Im no expert in any sense of the word, but one thing I think is fair to say is that Americans really love sports, especially basketball and baseball. And Ive also heard that, apparently, universitie

3、s in America offer a lot of sports scholarships, so I think this goes to show that being good at sport is pretty highly-regarded over there, and is a strong part of their culture. So thats one thing, and I think Im also right in saying that rap and hip hop are very popular kinds of music in the Stat

4、es, because Ive noticed that in a lot of Hollywood films Ive watched, this type of music seems to appear quite a lot, although I have to admit that I find it really difficult to understand what exactly is being said or sung in the songs! But anyway, with regard to why I find the American culture int

5、eresting, well firstly, I guess one reason would be that its completely different to our culture over here, and thats kind of what makes it so appealing to know more about. I mean, just to give you one example, the way foods cooked in America, on the whole, is a lot different to here, as over there

6、they tend to use an oven for most of their cooking, whereas here in China, we tend to fry most of our food. And as well as this, I think another thing that makes the American culture interesting is the fact that it encompasses so many things that I wasnt aware of before, so learning about it has rea

7、lly broadened my mind. And this, I would say, is the beauty of learning other cultures, because for me at least, making an effort to understand a little bit about U.S. culture has definitely given me a wider perspective on life. So yeah, thats pretty much all Ive got to say, so thanks for listening.

8、 雅思口语P3话题：文化Culture 考官?：What is 'culture' for you? 考生?: Culture can be defined as the way of life of a particular society or section of society. It involves their customs and traditions, and so in some senses culture is what distinguishes us from others, what makes us unique. I think culture

9、 is also what connects us to our past, to our heritage. We mustn't forget modern culture either, though. Youth culture is often very vibrant and powerful, with its new and inventive forms of music, dress and art. 剑桥雅思口语加分表达： be defined as 被定义为 customs and traditions 习俗和传统 in some senses 在肯定意义上 d

10、istinguish 区分 connect someone to 把.和.联系起来 vibrant 有活力的 powerful 有力气的 inventive 创新的 考官?：Do you think that it is important for a society or culture to have a sense of continuity with the past? 考生?: Yes, definitely. Change is necessary, but it is also frightening. For this reason, people continue to re

11、ly on their traditions to give them a sense of their roots and to remind them of where they've come from. Commemorating the past is also a way of bringing people closer together, such as during National Day. 剑桥雅思口语加分表达： frightening 恐怖的 continue to 接着做某事 rely on 依靠 a sense of their roots 一种根基感 re

12、mind someone of .让某人想起 commemorate the past 纪念过去 bring poeple closer together 拉近人们之间的距离 解读雅思口语话题 “A Cultural Event in China” 探讨中心分析认为，在雅思口语考试中，关于文化、传统的话题始终以来都是考官常问的题目，而面对这样的问题，考生往往都怀有“既爱又恨”的感情。“爱”是因为，中国的传统文化原来就博大精深，天经地义有许多可以在外国考官面前炫耀一番的精彩内容;但是，又“痛恨”自己在学问阅历上的匮乏，所以能够说道关于文化的也就是现在考生嘴边常挂的那些，如：Chinese New

13、 Year, Dragon-boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Day, Tomb-sweeping Festival等等。 不仅如此，对于回答的详细内容更是干涩乏味，比如描述Chinese New Year时，常听到考生众多且雷同的回答：We usually have a good time during the festival. The whole family members have a delicious dinner, and friends and relatives come together to have fun. Parents usually give

14、 money to children, so they can buy many things they want. 又或者是：On that day, we usually eat moon cakes and watch the round moon in the sky. It is very beautiful, and the story behind it is more beautiful. 我想任何一个来中国呆过两年的老外都应当早已熟识了这样的模式，对文化背后的故事可能比我们自己的学生还要清晰;而且，在这样的内容中，其实根本没有体现出中国的春节文化究竟是如何表现的。那可想而知，

15、最终的结果轻则无新奇内容，重则没有回答题目的核心内容。 假如调整一下回答关于“Chinese New Year”的内容，或许会让考官有“耳目一新”的感觉。 The Chinese are very superstitious and that means they take symbolism seriously. Locals come to market to buy good luck charms. Customers at snack are scooping up all sorts of New Year's treats. 这段话总述了中国人过年的表现，在后面的内容中将

16、详细讲解并描述如何过年和特别的习俗。 It's a tradition for all of us Chinese to get these sesame balls during Chinese New Year. We use them to worship our ancestors and we say if we have more sesame balls at home then more gold and silver will come into our house. It's really to bring us more wealth in the New

17、 Year. Roasted melon seeds symbolize coins, so this means scooping up lots of money. Rice cakes in the shape of fish are big sellers too. In Cantonese the word for fish sounds the same as the word for savings. 这段话从传统的饮食细微环节上进行描述，这一点是许多同学所忽视的。朗阁海外考试探讨中心分析发觉，大部分同学仅仅告知考官我们有delicious food，但忽视了和文化有关的饮食习惯

18、;换句话说delicious food可以放在任何一个场合，而非是针对该题目的描述。 Another item that locals want to buy for the New Year for good luck is red underwear. Red symbolizes wealth and prosperity and the Chinese want new clothes for the New Year from head to toe and underneath. My aunt buys three lingerie sets every New Year, be

19、lieving red will bring her good luck. Lunar New Year is the most profitable time of year for this lingerie store. The banks are also very busy with customers ordering brand-new bills to give away as New Year's gifts to younger relatives or junior colleagues. It's considered good luck for the

20、 giver and recipient. 除了饮食习俗外，春节中还有许多其他的风俗，所以这个部分的内容最好要比饮食多一些，来突出更多新奇的内容，如传统的红色和压岁钱。这样做的目的也是为了增加回答内容的丰富性和多样性。 除了描述春节之外，其实还有许多其他的cultural event值得一说，相对大众的文化传统节日如中国传统的“鬼节”the Ghost Festival，重阳节the Double Ninth Festival;具有地方特色的文化活动可以选择“成都的麻将节the Mahjong Festival，重庆的火锅节the Hotpot Festival in Chongqing”等。

21、这里我们选择中国传统的“鬼节”作为例子，信任考官肯定没有在考场中听过考生描述这类的主题。 The seventh lunar month in the traditional Chinese calendar is called Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, the Gates of Hell are open to allow ghosts and spirits access to the world of the living. The spirits spend the month visiting their families

22、, feasting and looking for victims. 总体介绍该文化活动的状况，初步说明。 There are three important days during Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, ancestors are honored with offerings of food, incense, and ghost money - paper money which is burned so the spirits can use it. These offerings are done at makeshi

23、ft altars set up on sidewalks outside the house. 进一步具体说明该文化的表现。 Almost as important as honoring ancestors, offerings to ghosts without families must be made, so that they will not cause you any harm. Ghost month is the most dangerous time of the year, and malevolent spirits are on the look out to ca

24、pture souls. This makes ghost month a bad time to do activities such as evening walk, traveling, moving house, or starting a new business. Many people avoid swimming during ghost month, since there are many spirits in the water which can try to drown you. 用适当的例子来说明该文化的特征。 The last day of the month i

25、s when the Gates of Hell are closed up again. The chants of Taoist priests inform the spirits that its time to return, and as they are confined once again to the underworld. 针对这样的话题，若希望增加其自然度和真实感，可以在回答正题之前先给考官打一个预防针：“The cultural event Im going to talk about may sound a little bit superstitious and

26、scary, but it is one of our traditional and cultural events in most areas.” 对于Cultural event的话题，回答思路大多状况下都是介绍文化活动或事务的主题+详细文化习俗和传统活动的表现;所以，建议希望得高分的考生可以更换老主题的详细内容，也可以更换一个新的主题，否则考官将会始终以茫然的表情面对你。 雅思口语考试话题分类：art and culture Describe an occasion that you had a special cake You should say: when you had it
