2.话题分析
“想参加的比赛” 是经历类的新题,其实比赛还是很多的,比如艺术类的、体育类、学科类等等。
国际高中的学员接触的竞赛会比较多,比如AMC、Bpho、NEC,或者是学校社团内的比赛等等相对比较好聊。
大学生也可以去聊一些学校内的比赛,如十大歌手、商赛、运动会比赛等。
如果是已经工作的人,比如一些游戏比赛、公司组织的比赛,或者是社会上的半马、社区组织的体育比赛等。
如果实在没有参加的比赛,那就瞄准一个“编”就可以,只要”编“得能体现自己对这个比赛的热情即可。
第一小问“What the contest/competition is about ” 是什么比赛
第一小问要对这个比赛做一个概述,可以聊一下比赛的名字、比赛的内容、主办方、参与者人数、参与者身份/属性、参赛人数、举办年数等等。
第二小问“Where the contest/competition will take place ”这个比赛在哪里举办
接下来可以从大到小来聊,是位于什么省什么市哪个具体的地点(学校/区域/大厦等)。还有一种是按照时间来,上一次是在哪里举办,下一次在何处举办。另外还有一些比赛是初赛在某个地方,复赛和决赛在不同的地方。
第三小问“When it will be held”何时举办
这个小问可以从流程来讲,报名是从何时开始,初赛在何时举办,决赛将在合适进行。也可以综合提一下,这个比赛举办的频率,比如4年一次。
第四小问“explain why you would like to participate in it” 为什么你想参加这个比赛
这里给大家提供几个原因:一,比赛含金量高,如果获奖能体现自己的实力,为自己背景添彩,为(本科/研究生)升学助力;二,兴趣使然,希望能和很多志同道合的参与者同台竞赛,切磋交友;三,时间限制,比赛对于参赛者年龄有限制,如果再不参加的话,就不能参与了;四,比赛的奖品吸引我,具体是奖励、机会、课程还是荣誉等,可以具体展开;五,想要了解一下自己的水平,参加比赛看一下自己的能力定位。
下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图:
3.答案示例
想参加的比赛——雅思口语P2 音频:00:0001:01The competition I am willing to participate in is the Youth Piano Competition which has been held for almost 15 years. The competition will take place at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which is one of the top music institutes in Shanghai. It will be held in October 2022 and every year thousands of contestants take part in this competition.
I want to participate in this competition mainly due to four reasons. First of all, it is a competition for youth, and it is held once four years . Next time this competition is held, I am no longer belong to this age range anymore. So, I want to at least try my best this time for it is the last time that I can compete with other players in this stage. Secondly, I'm not a student of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, but I'm a fan of it . A professor I respect is one of the judges in this competition. I heard that students who win the prize would have the opportunity to get the lessons from the professors from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and the professor I like the most will have a high possibility to teach us. That encourages me a lot to register for that competition. Lastly, my teachers said I am qualified for the competition, so I'm willing to give it a try.
