雅思口语父亲节素材汇总
Father's Day
Third Sunday in June
6月的第三个星期天
父亲节在美国
The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official
day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special。
父亲节的来源
The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington。
父亲节的推广
The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated
the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!
Regardless
of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother。
父亲节的选定
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached
her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart。
父亲节的制定
States and organizations began lobbying(游说)Congress to declare
an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June。
父亲节的庆祝!
When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical(奇形怪状的，异想天开的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad。
雅思口语考试第一部分答题有诀窍
很多心理学家和面试官都认为，其实开始时的一分钟是非常之重要的，在这一分钟时，考官已对面试者有了初步的判断，接下去的时间只是去进一步验证这个判断的过程。而最初的印象对最终的裁决是相当重要的。因此在进行雅思考试口语考试的准备时，应全面准备，哪个部分都要一视同仁为上上策。
首先，在回答第一部分时，切忌回答过短。
一些初识雅思的学生在口语上遇到的最大障碍之一就是没话可说，每个问题的答案都只有寥寥几个词。比如：Are you working or studying-
I am working now. How do you spend your weekends- I spend my weekends reading and watching TV. Do you read a lot in your spare time- Yes, I read a lot in my spare time。
其实如若您拿着这些问题去问一个初中生或甚至是小学生，他恐怕也能非常流利的给出这些答案的吧。既然如此，您又怎么能显示出您的水平决不仅止与此哪?雅思口语的高分诀窍就是要在很短的时间内将您的浑身解数都使出来。那么我们就要有意识的积累一些答题的技巧，也就是如何拓长自己的答案，并且灵活运用各种句型的方法。
此外，切题回答的本身就是对于细节的正确分析。
除了要注意运用适当的回答技巧之外，我们还要注意考题中的一些细节，通常对于这些细节的处理往往会直接决定第一部分的回答质量的好坏。由于口语考试的特点是需要学生在考官提出问题之后马上做出回答，过长的思考时间也会导致失分，所以我们在考官提出问题之后马上要对该问题迅速进行分析，同时给出答案。因此在考场中，考生回答偏题的现象时有发生。撇开考生由于语言水准问题理解错误的因素，有很多的偏题都是由于忽视考题中的细节问题所造成的。
