如何用簡單字彙描述人,事,物

對大部份學生而言,很容易把簡單的問題回答得很複雜. 往往是因為絞盡腦汁在想如何用 “special words” 來回答以便讓考官覺得你的字彙量很好. 但是這些並不會讓你增加分數反而會因讓人無法聽懂而被扣分. 其實用越簡單的字去描述一件事情,人,或是物品,越容易讓人了解並且很容易讓人有picture在腦海中. 要拿到口說6.5甚至7分真的不是很困難,但是一定要每天練習才能達到. 以下是從一篇文章中擷取出來的內容有關於 “Flag”. 你可以試著用同樣的句型以及字彙去描述自己國家的國旗. 你會發現很容易在腦海中出現你所描述的圖片或是景象. 這就是為什麼我和Martin一直在強調的事情-Use simple words to communicate with
people in real life.

Flag

The flag of the United States is red, white, and blue. Red
stands for courage. White stands for honor. And blue stands for justice. The
flag has 13 stripes of red and white. These stripes stand for the first 13
states. The top left corner of the flag is blue with 50 white starts. The
starts stand for the 50 states in the United States today.

          In the United States, people honor
their flag on June 14. June 14 is Flag Day. On June 14, people fly the flag on
their homes, businesses, and city buildings.

          The flag of Canada is white with a red
maple leaf on it. One each side of the maple leaf is a red stripe. The red
maple leaf stands for the country of Canada.

          In both Canada and the United States,
people fly the flag on holidays. In the U.S., one big holiday is the Fourth of
July. The Fourth of July honors the day the country was born. That day was July
4, 1776.

          A big holiday in Canada is Canada Day
on July 1. This holiday honors the day that the county was united. That day was
July 1, 1867.

          There are many parades on Canada Day
and the Fourth of July. Many bands march in the parades.

          It is rude not to stand when the flag
of any country goes by. It is rude not to salute the flag of your own country.
It is rude for a man not to remove his hat for his country’s flag.

          Most countries have rules for honoring
the flag. Here are a few rules that many countries follow:

1.    Do not fly the flag in the rain.

2.    Do not let the flag touch the floor.

3.    Do not throw away an old flag. Burn
it with care.
