【雅思培训-口语】经典电影题解析

电影题一直是口语考试中的一道经典题目，并在此基础上有一些不同的变化，比如有描述一部你喜欢的电影，描述一部你不喜欢的电影，描述一部让你哈哈大笑的电影，描述一部关于未来的电影，虽然涉及的内容不一定完全相同，但是只要掌握了最基本的方法，不管题目怎么变，我们都可以以不变应万变。

电影题里比较关键的是第三和第四小点，分别让你描述这部电影的主要内容和解释看完电影的感受。这里我们就第三点的答题关键做一些分析。描述一部电影的内容有这样几步并以大家最熟悉的哈利波特为例子给出相应的解析。

第一步 一句话概括

The first sentence must be the main idea.  In one sentence write what the story is mainly about.用一句话概括整个故事的核心意思。

e.g:J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" tells the story of eleven-year-old orphan Harry Potter, who discovers that he is a wizard and goes to study magic at the British school for wizards, Hogwarts.

第二步 围绕核心意思进行展开

The remaining 7-12 sentences must explain the details supporting the main idea.  These are the details you must include:

In 2-3 sentence explain what happens in the beginning of the story or what leads to the conflict

e.g: While there he discovers that his parents were killed by the evil wizard, Voldemort, who was destroyed by Harry when he was a baby. With his friends, Ron Weasley, who comes from a large family of wizards, and Hermione Granger, the smartest witch in their year, Harry figures out that the Sorcerer's Stone, which gives eternal life, is hidden on the off-limits third floor.

In 2-3 sentences explain the conflict (the problem) of the story.

e.g: When Harry and his friends discover from Hagrid that the Sorcerer's Stone is no longer be safe, they go to stop the thief themselves, who they think is Professor Snape, who hates Harry. When Harry finds the Stone, he discovers that the thief is Professor Quirrell, who is possessed by Voldemort.

In 2-3 sentences explain how the conflict resolved or the resolution

e.g:Because of a spell cast by Harry's mother, he is able to defeat Quirrell and Voldemort is forced back into hiding.

遵照了这样的法则，无论题目如何变化，回答的方式都是一样的，再拿一部被拍成电影的畅销书“My sister’s keeper”来做例子。

第一步 总结大意

The plot opens by introducing Anna and Kate as sisters. Kate was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in 1990 and was not responding to treatment or chemotherapy, sparking the need for her to find a suitable donor.

第二步 给出细节

We then learn about Kate’s diagnosis as a baby. The story explores the fact that Anna was a “test tube baby,” conceived to fill the need for a donor to keep her sister alive. Anna is custom-made to be a perfect match for Kate’s medical needs, and from the moment Anna is born, she is pricked, prodded, and cut open in order to donate bone marrow and healthy cells to her sister.

The story then fast forwards 14 years through Kate’s illness and the life of the family. Through these years, we learn about Kate’s unending suffering, as well as the struggles that Sara and Brian face as a couple as a result of their daughter’s illness. We also get the impression that Sara is solely focused on Kate’s struggles and illness, taking attention away from her other children, Jesse and Anna (who is frequently undergoing painful and invasive procedures because of Kate).

The story takes a turn when 13-year-old Anna approaches attorney Campbell Alexander, asking him to represent her while she sues her parents for medical emancipation. Kate is in the final stages of kidney failure, and Anna does not want to give Kate her kidney. Alexander agrees to represent Anna for free.

After hearing testimonies from Kate and Anna’s doctors as well as Anna herself, the judge grants Anna medical emancipation, and Campbell is given medical power of attorney over her.

After the trial, on the way to the hospital to visit Kate, Campbell and Anna get into a near-fatal car accident. Anna suffers from injuries that have left her with irreversible brain damage. Campbell, who now has power of attorney, directs doctors to take her kidney and give it to Kate.

当然由于考试的时间关系，可以根据自己语速的快慢在此基础上进行一些精简。
