【雅思培训-口语】“手工艺品”这么破

自从9月份换新题之后，本季度出来了一些和和手工艺品相关的题目。虽然这道题目是在老题目的基础上进行了一些改变，但就是这一点点变化让考生有点手足无措，因为平时不太有时间去做手工。回答这道题目的难点主要在于制作过程的描述。考试的时候需要有条理的把一步步如何制作的说清楚即可。下面列举了贺卡的制作过程以及使用的工具。

Step 1. Gather your materials. Clear off a table and lay out the necessary materials for the card.

For a basic birthday card, you'll need:

•   Construction paper or card stock and stationery

•   Coloring utensils such as markers, crayons, and colored pencils

•   Glue

•   Stickers

•   Rubber stamps or other images such as photographs, magazine pictures, or images from cards that have already been used

Step 2. Create the shape of the card. Take a piece of construction paper and fold it into quarters.

Depending on how large or small you want to card to be, you can also use a piece of good quality cardstock (A4 size), cut it in half, and then fold it down the middle.

If you have an envelope you'd like to use for the card, fold the paper so it will fit inside the envelope. Leave at the very least 1/8" (.3 cm) on all sides so the card can slide easily in and out of the envelope.

Step 3. Choose a design for the card. Customize the card design based on who the card is for and the materials you have available.

Keep in mind you have the front and inside of the card to decorate, so perhaps you want to include a simple design or image on the front of the card and a more personal or detailed design inside the card.

Think of a riddle or poem. You can compose a limerick, look up a line from your favorite poem, or find a funny riddle.

Draw a picture of a person the card receiver admires or likes. You can also cut out and paste a picture of a person or of the card receiver. Add a thought or speech bubble over the picture and include a funny message or saying.

Turn the card a mini graphic novel. Divide the card into a grid and tell a little story.

Choose a quote or saying based on a personal moment with the person, such as the first time you met them, or something they did on their last birthday.

Step 4. Add embellishments like stickers, stamps, or fabric. Tailor the card’s decorative details to the recipient.

For example, if it’s your dad’s birthday and he likes to fish, you could add a stamped fisherman image and a piece of string glued to a fishing rod and anchor it to a  and whimsical phrases while a card for a teenager or adult may be more muted and simple.

Use your own handwriting or a computer generated greeting such as "Happy Birthday!” on different coloured paper. Cut it out and paste it to the basic card template.

Add the person's name to the card to make it more special and personal.

Step 5. Include a pop out to the card to give it something extra. Making a basic pop-out card is actually fairly straightforward and simple to do.

Choose a level of difficulty that suits your skills and time. of a big fish on the front of the card.

Bright colors are vivid and fun; muted colors are classy and more sophisticated. A card for a child may be filled with bright colors, stamped animals.

以上五步简要的概述了制作贺卡的详细过程，考试的时候，考生可以在此基础上根据自己的实际情况进行一些筛选，并加上一些背景的描述即可。
