雅思口語(yǔ)Part 2答題思路：電影

Film，電影。這是口語(yǔ)考試中經(jīng)?？嫉降囊粋€(gè)口語(yǔ)話題卡。手里正好有現(xiàn)成的樣板答案，我稍微編輯了一下，拿出來跟大家分享。答案來自以前強(qiáng)化班的一個(gè)學(xué)生--- Cindy。Cindy口語(yǔ)不錯(cuò)，加上準(zhǔn)備充分，去年的時(shí)候口語(yǔ)考了個(gè)7.5，現(xiàn)在正在我最喜歡的大學(xué)(沒有之一)St Andrews(圣安德魯斯)念書。在此向她表示感謝。

Describe the type of film you most enjoy watching.

You should say:

what this type is ①

what the characteristics of this type are ②

when you last watched this type ③

and explain why you like this type. ④

① Among all types of films, I like war films best.

② The first obvious feature of war films is that it involves at least one hero in the story, who is often brave, smart and unselfish. In addition, the battle scenes which involve large number of soldiers, planes and weapons vividly present a picture of what wars were actually like.

③ Recently, I watched a war film named Assembly directed by the famous Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. It was a drama about a soldier of a People's Liberation Army unit during the civil war in the 1940s. The soldier, once a company commander, devotes his life to redeeming the honor of fellow soldiers who are declared missing in action. The film has been called the Chinese version of “Saving Private Ryan”, and indeed, the film looks like seriously brutal stuff.

④ I like war films first because I can learn more about history through watching this kind of film. And I am especially interested in historic wars and battles, like the battle of Somme and so on. War films present to us a vivid picture of how brutal a war can be. Besides, I can appreciate the bravery and unselfishness of those heros in war films, like the captain in the Hollywood hit Saving Private Ryan.

Part 3: Films in General

1. What types of film are most popular in China?

There's no one type of film which is the most popular in China actually. Chinese audiences like all kinds of film: comedy, tragedy, detective film.etc.I guess new year films are most popular. They're kind of domestic-made big budget fims. It has somehow become a cultural phenomenon in China for audiences to cram into the cinema to watch those films specially made for the new year season.

2. Do Chinese people like going to the cinema to see films?

Yes. The price of the ticket is reasonable in China, more and more people like going to the cinema to experience the real life sound and larger than life size screen.

Generally speaking, Chinese people like going to the cinema to see films because you are more involved in the film and the environment helps you focus your attention on the film and enjoy it. When a blockbuster is on in China like Assembly or Lust, Caution, many people go to the cinema to watch them.

3. Compare the films that older people like to watch with those that younger people like.

Mostly, older people like slow tempo movies with classic plot, for example: movies about animals and novels...Younger people like anything, from affectional movies to horror movies.

Mostly, older people like slow movies with not-so-abstract plots, like movies about novels and historical events. And they always prefer comedies to tragedies. Compared with them, younger people have a broader range of taste. They like almost all kinds of films, especially romance, sci-fi and action movies.

4. How has science and technology affected the way films are made today?

Computer is playing a more important role in today's films to make special effect. Special effect makes the films more exciting.

With the development of science and technology, film studios are able to create more vivid picture of scenes in the scientific fictions. Such development enables more companies to produce more successful sci-fi movies, like the ET and Star Wars series.
