话题分析

这是一道地点类新题,难度中等偏下。关于一个地点、城市的描述我们其实在之前的考题备考中也有准备过了,但如何巧妙的运用一些素材或者分为几个方面去说出自己喜欢的并想去生活的理由是需要我们思考的。
题目分解:
先问“Where this place is?” 地点在哪儿
地点的常规描述,从详细的地理位置说起,可以选择的对象不必局限于国内的城市,也可以是海外的某一个地方,那么则从哪个国家、在北半球/南半球、在国家的某个方位、哪一座城市有选择的依次展开。
第二问“How you know this city?” 如何知道的
在如今媒体和传播如此发达的时代,知道一座城市的途径有很多,可以是从社交媒体上看到的,可以是来自去过的亲友的介绍,可以是曾经自己旅游去过的地方。
第三问“Why this city is famous?”为什么出名
这一小问的回答大家其实不用局限于“出名- famous”这两个字,因为出名是具有相对性的,不一定非的要世界上大多数人都知道才叫出名,所以你只要选择自己喜欢的城市大胆的去讲述它为什么被大家知道即可,简单来说就是对它的优点的概括描述。可以包含:它是一个适合度假的旅游景点,十分火爆;它的风景美丽,气候宜人;它生活配套设施全面,十分宜居。
第四问“And explain why you like to go there.” 为什么想去
这一小问其实可以理解为在第三小问的基础上表明自己更加个性化的喜欢的理由。可以选择第三小问中回答的某一点详细展开来进一步描述,因为它的某一个地方吸引住了你,美食/美景/天气宜人/生活配套设施全面/人文情怀丰富细腻/文化色彩重等等,适当的举一两个例子进行细节描述。

下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图

示例

Well, I would definitely choose Lhasa, which is located in the middle part of Tibet, nearly 4000 kilometers from my hometown.

I got to know this city from a travel show on TV when I was probably 7 or 8 years old. It has been the provincial capital of Tibet Autonomous Region for more than 1,300 years, and it is the political, cultural, economic, and religious center of Tibet as well as a sacred place of Tibetan Buddhism.

It is known to all that Lhasa is renowned for its spectacular landscapes and historical sites and cultural relics, so it has captivated countless visitors from all over the world for decades.

As for why I’d like to live there, well, there are a lot of culturally significant Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Potala Palace, which is a place I’ve been dreaming of for a long time, and I’m really curious how it became a divine place for Tibetan Buddhism. Another reason is that the air quality in Lhasa is much better than most cities in China, so smog condition will be my least concern. You know what, I would be able to see the crystal-clear sky in the daytime and the shinning stars at night if I lived in Lhasa. On top of it, I’m a fanatic of natural scenery. I mean, I can see different wild animals, limpid water and the unbroken mountain ranges. It is in Lhasa that I can fully enjoy those eye-catching landscapes. I gotta say that Lhasa is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been, a real feast for the eyes. Of course, the cost of living is one of my considerations. I’m fed up with the high cost of living in big cities, and I really can’t stand the fast pace of my current lifestyle. So I’m really looking forward to living there in the near future, for the sake my health and longevity.
