有关a place in other countries you would like to work这道雅思口语题,如果大家细想就会发现,哎呀,到底是让我讲我希望工作的公司?还是说因为那个地儿好,无论在哪个公司工作都无所谓的那种…… 其实,有一招就是两方面都说说,考官肯定就不会怪我们跑题了。
首先,可以先讲地点,很多孩子跟我讲,美国加州的阳光海滩比基尼,简直是个ideal place to work in,或者有着relaxed pace of life的北欧,也是个人间天堂啊!然后,再说说你呆在那里想做的工作,夸夸有关工作让你超级满意的地方。所以这么一看啊,这道题简直就是a foreign country you want to visit和a big company you are interested in或者a small business you want to have in the future的合体啊!
那咱们就分两部分帮大家补充一下素材,首先,简单的扣题开头:
I've always wanted to work in XX (name of the company), which is situated in XX.
Well, if I could choose any place in the world, I would definitely work in XX.
然后就是分别说location和company了。
关于这个location,我们可以从这个城市的环境和风景入手,是不是一个vibrant metropolitan city (富有活力的大都市),还是可以lead a tranquil life (平静生活)的安静小城,有没有various entertaining facilities (多样的娱乐设施),还是有着gorgeous natural scenery (美丽的自然风景)。还有那里的climate是否pleasant (比如一年里有半年都是寒冬的大东北就不是很pleasant,但是it's like spring all year round的宝地就比较适合人类居住)。另外,我们可以说点儿“人文”方面的内容,例如locals非常hospitable (热情好客的),warm-hearted (热心肠的)等等,还有别忘了打动你的local food哇!咱们讲的可是foreign country哦!那个国家没几样拿手的好吃的!之前准备过的什么Japanese cuisine,Italian cuisine都可以拿出来用了。
然后过渡到公司,我们可以用这句话:
Actually, it's not just the city itself that is appealing, what also attracts me is XX whose headquarter is located in the city.
如果是先说company的呢,可以变换一下:
Actually, it's not just the company that attracts me, the city in which it's located also appeals to me.
公司的套路就更简单了,首先说你怎么知道这个公司的,再讲讲公司环境,硬件设施,企业文化,公司待遇,要是还不够,还记得那道creative leader么?一些形容词也可以往里砸!
I first heard of this company from XXX, and it left a deep impression on me.
First of all/ for starters, the working environment I saw in the picture/video impressed me a lot, I mean, the fancy/cozy/luxury interior design of the office building, those refreshing/attractive pot plants, and well-equipped game room/fitness center, everything! And I heard snack bars are available in every office, and they have comfy sofa and vending machine in the lounge, where employee could take a nap or have some light refreshments. All those facilities would make me feel at home.
除了上面的“套话”,还有更“套路”的,例如office rooms are spacious/roomy, facilities are modern/high-end/advanced. 啥啥啥的。
如果雅思考官还不叫停,咱就再来说企业文化和公司福利:
I was told the coworkers there are considerate and friendly/polite/professional.
The flexible working hours enable me to spend more quality time with my family.
The employee benefits are also tempting/inviting, like everyone could enjoy 2 weeks paid vacation a year, blah, blah, blah……
如果还不叫停,你让雅思考官来找我,我要跟他谈谈人生……
