雅思口语Task2素材——2.To those who were there

前言：在我们日常的英语交流对话中，很多时候，“在什么样的场合，讲什么样的话”是很重要的。打个比方说，某人对你讲：“Thank you.”这其中可能未言尽、所蕴含的意思是“I really appreciate your help.”这时你可以用诸如“No worries”、“It’s my pleasure”或者“It’s my honor”来回复。而假如对方是客气地表达感谢，比如一位艺术家，在组织方的舞台上表演了一首自己的成名曲，此时，当他/她对主办方和观众表达“Thank you”感谢时，我们往往可以用“No,thank you”来回敬对对方的谢意。

 

话已至此，我们可以发现：在特定的语境下，知道我们究竟该学些什么，从哪里开始学起，并且学以致用，应用到我们的日常对话当中，这是我们培养英语语感的重要方法和途径。换句话说，我们只有身临其境地感受那一幕幕真实的场景，通过这种渗透融入场景式学习，用大量的实例，来亲身的体验和感悟异国的文化背景。而这些很难在传统中式英语教学的书本和课堂上学到的，却恰恰是对于雅思考试，尤其是口语考试极为重要的提升方法。

 

因此，为了提升我们的英语语言能力，也为了能更顺利地通过雅思口语考试，我们就必须要刻意营造英语语言环境，让环境来影响人，让环境来成就我们更能够接受的事物，让环境的氛围使我们更容易找到感觉。语感、语境加之后天不断地勤奋、重复、努力，只有做到这些，才能够让我们在英语语言学习的路上步步为营，打下坚实的根基。

正文：

①: Background: Growing up life is really good for me. You can’t ask for better parents and siblings, relatives and friends. When I was in elementary school, my mom often gave me a big hug after school to make my day. On the contrary, my father was more likely to be conservative. Seldom did he give me some compliments or awards, even though sometimes I felt I totally deserved it. However, my father had his own way of expressing his appreciation and love. It took me some time to get to know it. And I’d like to talk about a lesson I learnt from him.

②: Experience: When I was in my fourth grade, I became to be fed up with the school curriculums, I got a C minor in my maths final exam, I slept a whole semster in my Chinese class. Most of the Traditional Chinese proverbs we leaned at school didn’t ring a bell to me. What’s worse, all the teachers didn’t seem to have a single clue on how to improve my performance. Therefore, my father was kindly invited to my elementary school, to help my principle teach me an unforgetful lesson. I could feel it in my bones that they were taking it very seriously. The meeting lasted for totally 3 hours. We were all very exhausted in the end. However, it didn’t make a big difference to me because I didn’t feel it really worked out.

③: Feelings: The whole time my father was standing there, barely did he speak anything. Only in few times that he explained why I was absent in classes and how he thought that I could face the music on my own and turn things around, you know, to improvemy grades. At first I was a little baffled and confused, unitl he started to talk to me: The point is not that you screwed it up, but how you take responsiblities and make things right. Disasters and hardships can be blessings in disguise. And keep in mind that your mom and I will always be there for you. That’s what parents do, even in bad situations like today.

④: Evaluation: I was becoming a little emotional after hearing this. Words couldn’t articulatemy appreciation and gratitude for  all these years during which he encouraged me and built me up silently, even in my lowest point in life. People say that love could turn a stumbing block into a stepping stone. The skill set that I have learned from my father is that when your family and friends are in their ups and downs, always be there for them.
