在雅思考试中,口语部分常常让许多考生感到头疼😣,而如果能巧妙地结合烹饪这个话题,不仅能让回答更具生活气息,还可能为口语考试增添不少亮点,助力取得好成绩🎉,烹饪口语雅思究竟怎么考得好呢?下面就为大家详细介绍。
充分准备烹饪相关词汇
丰富的词汇储备是应对雅思口语烹饪话题的基础🧐,要熟练掌握各类食材的英文表达,carrot(胡萝卜)”“broccoli(西兰花)”“garlic(大蒜)”“ginger(姜)”“tomato(西红柿)”等🥦,了解各种烹饪工具的单词,像“pan(平底锅)”“wok(炒锅)”“oven(烤箱)”“knife(刀)”“spoon(勺子)”等🍳,熟悉烹饪动作和方式的词汇,chop(切碎)”“peel(削皮)”“fry(煎、炒)”“boil(煮)”“bake(烤)”“stir(搅拌)”等👩🍳。
可以通过制作单词卡片的方式,一面写英文单词,另一面写上对应的中文解释和例句📃,随时拿出来复习背诵,还可以利用碎片化时间,比如在乘车、排队时,听一些英语烹饪类的音频,跟着里面的讲解学习新单词🎧。
构建烹饪话题思路
- 描述一道菜肴
- 选择一道自己熟悉且喜欢烹饪的菜肴,比如宫保鸡丁(Kung Pao Chicken),可以先介绍这道菜的主要食材,“It mainly consists of diced chicken, peanuts, cucumbers and peppers.”(它主要由鸡丁、花生、黄瓜和辣椒组成。)
- 接着描述烹饪过程,“First, I marinate the chicken with some soy sauce, cooking wine and a little bit of starch. Then, heat some oil in a wok and stir - fry the marinated chicken until it changes color. Next, add the peanuts and stir - fry for a while. After that, put in the cucumbers and peppers and keep stirring. Finally, add a special sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and chili powder to season it.”(我用一些酱油、料酒和一点淀粉腌制鸡肉,在炒锅里热油,把腌制好的鸡肉翻炒至变色,加入花生再炒一会儿,之后,放入黄瓜和辣椒继续搅拌,加入由酱油、醋、糖和辣椒粉调制的特制酱汁调味。)
- 在描述过程中,注意使用连接词,如“first”“then”“next”“after that”“finally”等,使回答逻辑清晰🧠。
- 分享烹饪经历讲述一次难忘的烹饪经历,比如第一次尝试做蛋糕🎂,可以说,“I remember the first time I made a cake. It was a real challenge for me. I had to carefully follow the recipe. I was so nervous when I cracked the eggs into the bowl and whisked them. But when I saw the batter gradually becoming ++ooth, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Then, I poured the batter into the cake pan and put it into the pre - heated oven. Waiting for the cake to bake was really exciting. When it came out, it looked a bit uneven, but it tasted great. That experience made me fall in love with cooking.”(我记得我第一次做蛋糕,对我来说这真的是个挑战,我必须仔细按照食谱来,当我把鸡蛋打进碗里搅拌的时候,我非常紧张,但是当我看到面糊逐渐变得顺滑时,我有一种成就感,我把面糊倒进蛋糕模具,放进预热好的烤箱,等待蛋糕烘焙的过程真的很令人兴奋,当它烤好拿出来的时候,看起来有点 uneven(这里可以解释一下是什么样的 uneven,比如表面有些凹凸不平),但味道很棒,那次经历让我爱上了烹饪。)
- 讨论烹饪的好处
- 从健康角度来说,“Cooking at home allows us to control the ingredients, so we can make sure we're eating healthy food. For example, when we cook vegetables ourselves, we can choose fresh ones and use less oil and salt.”(在家做饭让我们能够控制食材,所以我们可以确保吃健康的食物,当我们自己烹饪蔬菜时,我们可以选择新鲜的蔬菜,并且少用油和盐。)
- 从情感方面讲,“Cooking can also be a great way to express love. When you cook a delicious meal for your family or friends, you're showing them how much you care.”(烹饪也是表达爱的好方式,当你为家人或朋友做一顿美味的饭菜时,你在向他们展示你有多在乎他们。)
- 还可以提到烹饪是一种放松方式,“Cooking is like a form of stress relief for me. When I'm in the kitchen, focusing on chopping, stirring and seasoning, all my worries seem to fade away.”(烹饪对我来说就像是一种缓解压力的方式,当我在厨房里,专注于切菜、搅拌和调味时,我所有的烦恼似乎都消失了。)
- 准确发音确保食材、工具和烹饪动作等词汇的发音准确无误,可以通过模仿英语母语者的发音来纠正自己的发音习惯。“broccoli”的发音要注意重音在第一个音节上,读作 /ˈbrɒkəli/;“ginger”的发音为 /ˈdʒɪndʒə(r)/ 等,利用英语发音软件,如英语流利说、多邻国等,里面有发音评测功能,可以帮助你发现自己发音不准确的地方并加以改进🎙️。
- 自然语调在描述烹饪过程和分享烹饪经历时,要注意语调的自然起伏,比如在讲述烹饪步骤时,“First”音调稍高,引起注意,“then”“next”等词音调平稳过渡,到“finally”时可以适当提高音调,表示重点🔊,避免语调过于平淡,让回答听起来生动有趣。
- 食材的外观和特点描述食材时,不仅要说出名称,还可以描述其外观特征,比如描述西红柿,“The tomatoes are bright red, plump and shiny. They look so fresh that you can almost see the juice inside.”(这些西红柿鲜红、饱满且有光泽,它们看起来非常新鲜,以至于你几乎能看到里面的汁液。)描述胡萝卜,“The carrots are long and orange, with a ++ooth surface. They feel a bit firm when you touch them.”(胡萝卜又长又橙,表面光滑,当你触摸它们时,感觉有点硬。)
- 烹饪过程中的感受分享烹饪经历时,详细描述自己在烹饪过程中的感受,比如在搅拌面糊时,“As I whisked the batter, I could feel the resistance of the flour and eggs. It was a bit tiring but also very satisfying to see the mixture becoming more and more homogeneous.”(当我搅拌面糊时,我能感觉到面粉和鸡蛋的阻力,有点累,但看到混合物变得越来越均匀也非常令人满足。)在等待烤箱里的食物烤制时,“I was constantly checking on the cake in the oven, feeling excited and a little anxious at the same time. The ++ell of the baking cake filled the kitchen, making my mouth water.”(我不断地查看烤箱里的蛋糕,同时感到兴奋又有点焦虑,烤蛋糕的香味弥漫在厨房里,让我垂涎欲滴。)
- 表示顺序除了前面提到的“first”“then”“next”“after that”“finally”,还可以用“initially”“subsequently”“eventually”等。“Initially, I pre - heated the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Subsequently, I prepared the baking tray by lining it with parchment paper. Eventually, the cookies came out of the oven golden and delicious.”(最初,我把烤箱预热到180摄氏度,随后,我用烘焙纸把烤盘铺好,饼干烤出来呈金黄色,非常美味。)
- 表示因果关系用“because”“since”“as”“so”等词来连接句子,使回答更具逻辑性。“I like to cook at home because I can choose the ingredients I like. Since I'm allergic to some seafood, I always avoid using shrimp or crab in my dishes.”(我喜欢在家做饭,因为我可以选择自己喜欢的食材,由于我对一些海鲜过敏,所以我在做菜时总是避免使用虾或蟹。)
- 表示对比“However”“but”“while”等词可用于对比不同的情况。“I usually cook simple meals during weekdays, but on weekends, I like to try more elaborate recipes. While my friend prefers to order takeout, I enjoy the process of cooking.”(我工作日通常做简单的饭菜,但在周末,我喜欢尝试更复杂的食谱,我的朋友更喜欢点外卖,而我享受烹饪的过程。)
- 找伙伴对练找一个英语水平相当的伙伴,模拟雅思口语考试场景,互相提问关于烹饪的话题,在练习过程中,注意观察对方的回答方式和不足之处,互相学习和改进,伙伴可能在描述烹饪步骤时逻辑不够清晰,你可以给他提出建议,同时自己也能从对方的回答中获取灵感💬。
- 进行录音自己录制回答烹饪口语话题的音频,然后回放听,从语音语调、发音准确性、回答内容的完整性和逻辑性等方面进行自我评估,注意发现自己的口头禅(如“um”“ah”),并尽量减少它们的出现频率,也可以将录音发给老师或英语水平较高的朋友,让他们帮忙指出问题并给予反馈📹。
