Describe some things that are happening in the picture below as well as you can. The person with whom you are speaking cannot see the picture.

范文答案

This picture depicts a vibrant outdoor dining scene at a trendy sidewalk restaurant named 'Mishiguene'. The atmosphere appears lively yet relaxed, with several patrons enjoying food and drinks on a paved walkway directly in front of the establishment's large glass windows.

In the foreground on the left, a man wearing a bright purple t-shirt and jeans is leaning comfortably back in his wooden folding chair, looking towards the center. Behind him, two women are seated at a table, one in a sleeveless white top and another in a vibrant pink shirt, while a small toddler in a blue outfit stands beside them. Moving to the center of the frame, an attentive waiter dressed in a white long-sleeve shirt, a dark tie, and a white apron is standing and pouring a beverage for a customer. A woman with long blonde hair, seen from behind, sits at this central table conversing with her companion.

On the right-hand side of the scene, another couple is seated at a small round table. The man, sporting glasses, a beard, and a dark long-sleeve shirt, sits facing a woman who has long dark hair and is wearing a patterned grey blouse. They seem engaged in an intimate conversation, with a glass bottle and dishes set before them. Behind them, the interior of the restaurant is visible through clean glass panes, illuminated by warm indoor lighting and decorated with rows of what look like wine boxes or wooden crates near the window.

Overall, the scene captures a warm, pleasant evening in an urban setting, characterized by comfortable outdoor seating, professional service, and casual social interactions under a large, dark-colored awning that shields the dining area.

深入理解第3题(描述场景)

在 CELPIP 口语写作第3题中,你的首要目标是充当考官的“眼睛”。由于考官无法看到图片,你必须构建一个生动、空间有序且细致的心智图景。考试评分员主要评估你逻辑组织细节、使用精确空间介词、运用描述性词汇以及掌握语法控制(尤其是现在进行时)的能力。

如何高效利用这 60 秒

在 30 秒的准备时间里,不要尝试写下完整的句子。相反,快速浏览图片以建立一条“描述路径”(例如,从左到右,或从前景到背景)。确定关键人群及其主要动作。

  • 前 10 秒:简要概述场景(地点和整体氛围)。
  • 接下来的 40 秒:详细描述 2 到 3 组特定的人,包括他们的衣着、动作和所处位置。
  • 最后 10 秒:提供一个总结句,描述背景元素、天气或整体氛围。
    使用上方的高分范文作为学习指南,积累高分短语并练习掌控语速。

熟练掌握空间介词

为了帮考官在脑海中定位图片中的景物,应避免使用“next to”(在……旁边)或“there is”(有……)等模糊词汇。请使用以下精确的方向标记:

  • 低分表达:'There is a man in a purple shirt next to a table.'(桌子旁边有一个穿紫色衬衫的男人。)
  • 高分表达:'In the lower-left quadrant of the image, a man in a purple shirt is reclining in a wooden folding chair near a dining table.'(在图片的左下角,一名身穿紫色T恤的男子正惬意地靠在餐桌旁的木制折叠椅上。)
  • 常用短语:'In the foreground'(在前景中)、'On the right-hand side of the scene'(在场景的右侧)、'Immediately adjacent to'(紧邻着……)、'In the background, visible through the glass window'(在背景中,透过玻璃窗可见)、'Directly underneath the dark awning'(正对着深色遮阳篷下方)。

避免“清单式”陷阱:动作 + 细节

不要只简单地罗列你看到的事物(例如:“我看到一个男人、一个服务员、一扇窗、一张桌子”)。相反,请使用**“动作 + 细节”链条**:

  1. 确定主体:一位服务员。
  2. 描述其外貌:穿着笔挺的白色长袖衬衫、深色领带和白色长围裙。
  3. 详细描述其正在进行的动作:站在人行道露台中央,正为坐在中间桌子旁的顾客倒酒或倒水。
  • 低分表达:'A waiter is pouring a drink.'(服务员正在倒饮料。)
  • 高分表达:'In the center of the patio, an attentive waiter in a white shirt and apron is carefully pouring a beverage for a patron.'(在露台的中央,一位穿着白衬衫和围裙、服务周到的服务员正在小心翼翼地为一位顾客倒饮料。)

场景过渡句式

流畅的过渡可以防止你的描述听起来像是一连串零碎的发言。使用以下过渡短语来引导考官的视线:

  • 'Shifting our focus to the center of the frame...'(将我们的注意力转移到画面的中心……)
  • 'Just to the right of this group, we can observe...'(在这组人的右侧,我们可以观察到……)
  • 'In contrast to the lively group on the left...'(与左边热闹的人群相比……)
  • 'Looking closely at the background behind the diners...'(仔细观察用餐者身后的背景……)
  • 'Parallel to the main seating area...'(与主要就餐区平行的是……)
  • 'On the periphery of the establishment...'(在这家店的周边……)

拓展视觉描绘词汇

为了获得 CLB 9+ 的高分,请将基础词汇替换为高级形容词和精确术语:

  • 服装:'Crisp white shirt'(笔挺的白衬衫)、'patterned blouse'(印花衬衫)、'casual attire'(休闲装)、'sleeveless top'(无袖上衣)。
  • 姿势/动作:'Reclining'(斜靠着)、'leaning back'(向后仰)、'intently conversing'(专注地交谈)、'attentively serving'(周到地服务)、'gesturing'(比手势)。
  • 环境:'Sidewalk patio'(人行道露台)、'ambient indoor lighting'(室内环境照明)、'retractable dark awning'(可伸缩的深色遮阳篷)、'wooden folding chairs'(木制折叠椅)。
  • 例句:'The restaurant's facade features large glass windows that reflect the warm, golden glow of the indoor pendant lights.'(餐厅的外墙配有大玻璃窗,倒映出室内吊灯温暖的金黄色光芒。)

保持流利度、语速及应对生词

如果你遇到不会的单词(例如,不知道露台上方遮阳棚的英文‘awning’),千万不要停顿或结巴。使用迂回释义法(用其他词语来描述该物体):

  • 如果卡在“awning”这个词,可以这样说:'the large dark fabric canopy extending from the building'(从建筑物延伸出来的深色大织物罩)。
  • 保持稳定、冷静的语速。用清晰的发音和自然的停顿,稍微放慢速度说,效果要远好于因为急促而犯语法错误。

应避免的常见第3题错误

  • 错误 1:使用一般过去时。 许多考生会说:'The man sat on the chair.'。请务必使用现在进行时:'The man is sitting on the chair.'。
  • 错误 2:过度猜测背景故事。 不要说:'This family is celebrating the mother's birthday.'(这个家庭正在庆祝母亲的生日)。只关注你亲眼所见的内容:'A family, including a young toddler, is gathered around an outdoor table.'(一个包含蹒跚学步幼童的家庭正聚集在户外的一张桌子旁)。
  • 错误 3:局限在某一个角落。 不要把整整 60 秒都花在只描述服务员一个人上。确保涵盖图片的左、中、右区域,以展示你对整体视觉场景的掌控力。
