Jessica Beck: 我在和学生们讲解雅思词汇时发现,很多同学在描述过时的事物时,词汇运用不够精准,例如容易混淆outdated, old-fashioned, antiquated等词语的细微差别。这些词语虽然都表示过时,但侧重点和适用场景有所不同。Outdated通常指不再流行或有用的事物,带有负面含义;old-fashioned则指旧式的、过时的,但并不一定不好;antiquated则指非常古老或过时的,通常用于正式场合。此外,我还介绍了old-timey这个词组,它比较口语化,可以用来描述老式或复古的事物。在雅思口语和写作考试中,恰当运用这些词汇可以使表达更准确、更地道。 在教学过程中,我通过大量的例句和情景模拟,帮助学生理解和掌握这些词汇的用法。例如,在描述性别角色变化时,可以用到outdated;在描述购物习惯时,可以用到old-fashioned;在描述某个小镇的特色时,可以用到antiquated;在描述个人爱好时,可以用到old-timey或behind the times。 我还鼓励学生在日常生活中积极运用这些词汇,并通过练习来提高自己的表达能力。我相信,只要掌握了这些词汇,并在实际运用中不断练习,学生们就能在雅思考试中取得好成绩。 Aubrey Carter: 在日常生活中,我也会遇到很多关于描述过时事物的场景。例如,在谈论自己的爱好时,我会说自己比较old-fashioned,喜欢用传统的纸笔作画,而不是用iPad;在谈论购物习惯时,我会说自己更喜欢当面购物,虽然现在网购很方便,但这有点old-fashioned;在谈论某个小镇的特色时,我会说小镇的市中心看起来很antiquated,但这正是它的魅力所在。 在雅思备考过程中,我发现很多同学对于如何用英语表达过时的事物感到困惑。其实,只要掌握了合适的词汇和表达方式,就能轻松应对各种考试场景。例如,在描述过时的观念或做法时,可以用outdated;在描述过时的物品或习惯时,可以用old-fashioned或old-timey;在描述非常古老或过时的物品时,可以用antiquated;在描述落后于时代的人或事物时,可以用behind the times。 此外,我还建议同学们在练习口语和写作时,多关注一些地道的表达方式,并尝试将这些词汇运用到自己的表达中。只有这样,才能在雅思考试中取得理想的成绩。
