如何挖掘一个素材当中的语言点和思维模式。这个系列选用的电影是《当幸福来敲门》,非常不错的电影,但是在我的favorite lists里面,并不是排名靠前的,我想向大家传达的一点就是,如果我能在一个中等喜欢程度的素材当中总结和挖掘一些一般人看不到或者注意不到的东西时,原因不是他们过目的不够多,而是留心的太少。本文所举例电影收录在:作者做了自我介绍,部分原文如下 I'm Chris Gardner.我是克里斯·迦纳
I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old.我第一次见到我父亲时,已经28岁了 And I made up my mind as a young kid...我儿时就决定,将来我有了孩子 ...that when I had children...
...my children were gonna know who their father was.我的孩子一定得知道他们的父亲是谁 This is part of my life story.这里讲述的是我人生故事的一部分
This part is called \这部分叫做…“搭公车”[旧金山,1981年] 【解析】
这里并没有太难的词汇,不过有几个地方需要同学们注意:
1 自我介绍可以用在雅思口语第二题当中描述人,因为最了解的人肯定是自己。所以与其费尽心思去搜索他人的素材,不如将自己的素材发挥到极致。关于个人的信息加上一个适当被替换的名字和角色,会在第二部分人物题目里面帮大家省很多力气。
2 描述人物的时候,首先选择能够抓住听众的部分。而不是流水账式的介绍自己的姓名性别年龄职业爱好兴趣等等,给人感觉敷衍,机械,很像寻人启事。
3 this part is called...就意味着有很多个部分,由于是电影,所以每个部分的陈述所花的时间较长,而在自我介绍当中,我们要做的就是把人生分为几个主题场景,加上一些简单的细节,搞定。 【应用】
我们按照上面的模式(注意,是模式,不是模板),简单的草拟一个描述人的素材:
I am going to talk about a friend named York. He seemed to realize the first moment of truth when he was 14 years old, that his life should be, and only should be defined by himself, not by his parents, not by his teachers, not by anybody elss. So he made up his mind as a young kid that he would begin his journey to fulfill the PERFECT life. 以下的部分根据实际情况进行加工和设计
This part of his life is called Passionate...加上一个细节 The next part of his life is called Energetic...加上一个细节 Aother part of his life is called Responsible...加上一个细节 Then the next part of his life is called Faithful...加上一个细节 The following part of his life is called Effective...加上一个细节 Another part coming after is called Considerate...加上一个细节
The last part that I am going to share wtih you is called Trustworthy...加上一个细节
如果七个都能说完,再告诉老外,每个主题的首字母连起来就是PERFECT。这个是比较详尽的参考版本,建议大家刚开始可以设计相对简单的版本,比如STAR, 驾驭起来比较容易。 【变通】
变通往往都有升级的味道,所以我找来一个曾经读过的自我介绍,和电影开头有异曲同工之妙。需要大家注意的是,这个里面加入了一些价值观的阐述,这个可以使得我们不是仅仅在描述人的表象,更多的是能够看到究竟,也就是上课所讲的从from到beyond的飞跃。关于价值观哲学含义的句子,可以在原来推荐的quotes里面找到。当然,也可以向柴静演讲介绍人物那样,通过故事引入。点击此处
I was born to a mother who was deaf and couldn?t speak. I don?t know who my father is or was. The first job I ever had was in a cotton field.
Nothing has to remain the way it is if that?s not the way a person wants it to become. It isn?t luck, and it isn?t circumstances, and it isn?t being born a certain way that causes a person?s failure to become what it becomes. All a person has to do is to change a situation that brings unhappiness or dissatisfaction and to answer the question: ?How do I want this situation to become?? then the person must commit totally to personal actions that carry them there. As you may have already realized, that I am one of thsoe persons. My name is Azie Taylor Morton. I stand before you today as treasurer of the United States of America.
I'm Chris Gardner.
I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old.
And I made up my mind as a young kid that when I had children my children were gonna know who their father was. This is part of my life story.
This part is called \ 说:小时候的挫折不让自己的孩子再承受
The first job I ever had was …
I’ve been studying English for almost fiveteen years I’m looking for new ways to get some English practice
And im thinking that if I can make some friends with some English people who want to practice Chinese .This might be a good way to get some language practice
公共场合引子:
Ok, everyone ,let me introduce myself.

In my spare time , I offen find some interesting video on the internet .Rencently I found one which about a singer. Billy Gilman 1988, He had his first album called One Voice….(可学一小段分享下,或调解下气氛),
He believe the song is basically about never giving up on yourself..and one of the little saying is like :Go on and trust urself you can ride the wind.Youre gonna take ur dreams where ‘s they’ve never been .There ‘s hero in ur heart
Why I can sing those songs with enough emotion is because I’m not forced to do them like everyday my mom and grandmother would come up to me and say if u wanna keep doing this u can.But if u wanna stop we’ll stop it right now.And so instead of them pulling me into the music business Im pulling them into the music business because this is what I’ve been wanting to do since I was three years old.

I like watching movies , painting, music , especially the english ,cause I think on one hand I can get the fist-hand information from English material , on the other hand I feel it is cool to talk with foreign people . And now,in the class I wanna share sth. that I learn from some movies:
1. Nothing has to remain the way it is if that?s not the way a person wants it to be
2. It isn?t luck, circumstances, or being born a certain way that causes a person?s failure. If you got failure, all u have
to do is to change the situation that brings unhappiness
At last , I’ll end up with a singer’s word, and one of the little saying is like : Go on and trust urself. You can ride the
wind.Youre gonna take ur dreams where they’ve never been .There ‘s a hero in ur heart
【(So now I wanna share sth. with u guys …)I’m a ….person….Sometimes I always think :
Nothing has to remain the way it is if that?s not the way a person wants it to become.
