雅思口語(yǔ)考試中，描述人物是很常見(jiàn)的題目。這類(lèi)話題按理說(shuō)不算難，可是考生遇到這些話題，分?jǐn)?shù)卻時(shí)常不理想?？偨Y(jié)一下，發(fā)現(xiàn)最大的問(wèn)題在于考生在描述人物時(shí)容易走兩個(gè)極端：一是用絕大部分時(shí)間描述人的外貌，而且語(yǔ)言也相當(dāng)平常;二是完全忽略外貌，只敘述一些跟該人物有關(guān)的事情，而且內(nèi)容毫無(wú)邏輯。

真正好的答案一定是描述與敘述的結(jié)合，這是雅思口語(yǔ)考察的最重要的兩項(xiàng)能力。所以，推薦給大家一個(gè)被考官認(rèn)可的好的思路：

1. 個(gè)人基本信息(身份，名字，年齡)

2. 外貌

3. 性格

4. 相關(guān)的故事或經(jīng)歷

例子：

An old man

An old man I’d like to talk about is my next door neighbor who is at his 60s. I don’t know exactly about his real name, but because he likes smiling, we call him “Mr. Smile”. 本部分完成了基本信息的描述，讓考官很清晰的了解這個(gè)人的背景，他才有興趣繼續(xù)聽(tīng)下去。

Mr. Smile is a man of medium build with short, silver hair and healthy complexion. What’s special about him is that he has a pair of pretty big ears which make him look very funny. 本段完成對(duì)描述能力的展示。盡量少用big, small 等稀松平常的詞匯，那只會(huì)讓考官懷疑你的詞匯量和語(yǔ)言能力，真正好的描述是要找出人物外表的“特點(diǎn)”，以此達(dá)到“傳神”的目的，這也是語(yǔ)言的較高境界。

As an easy-going and optimistic old man, Mr. Smile usually impresses others a lot by his hearty laughter. To some young people, his words are always motivating as well as convincing. 本部分是對(duì)性格的展現(xiàn)。另外，同學(xué)們習(xí)慣使用的 “kind” “nice” “happy”等詞和一些單純的并列句真的已經(jīng)太“俗”了。請(qǐng)參考上文的用詞和句式。

Mr. Smile used to study in Japan for 7 years. He came back to China when he was 26. Because of the living in Tokyo, he is really good at cooking Japanese food, especially sushi. I was invited to share his cooking before, and I was shocked by his sushi that was so fresh and delicate. I even doubt the authentic flavor can win some restaurant chefs’.

最后這部分內(nèi)容是講了一個(gè)關(guān)于老人的故事，展現(xiàn)了考生的敘事能力。故事可以奇特也可以普通，但一定要帶著感情講出來(lái)，目的是能夠感染考官。

以此思路，關(guān)于人物的卡片就迎刃而解了。
