Sample answer：
Thank you very much for the topic. It’s kind of tough to talk about someone’s own personal characteristics as I believe, the way we judge ourselves differs from the perspective (觀點)other people judge us. Nonetheless, we all have our own idea about our own characteristics and I would like to talk about my ability to stay calm even in the time of distress(危難).
I am not hot tempered and I try to remain clam no matter how severe(嚴(yán)峻的) the situation and I find it as a helpful characteristics. From my own experience I can say that, whenever I got very much vibrated and acted very promptly(迅速地) without giving much consideration about the situation, I did not take the right decision and I repentance(后悔) for that.
In my opinion that should be a common characteristics among other people but my personal experiences sometimes contradicts(反駁) my opinion as I often find people who can’t remain calm in adverse(有害的) situation and act very weirdly(古怪地). So to say, this is not a rare quality but many people lack it.
Remaining calm and using brain rather than the tongue(舌頭) is a helpful characteristic as it would help you taking the right decision and would show you the right way and course of actions. Being very fragile(弱的) in action and taking prompt decision without thinking can sometimes lead us to misunderstanding and can ruin (摧毀)relationship. Not being able to remain calm also shows your weakness and that often allure(誘導(dǎo)) you to take a completely wrong decision.
To me this is a very important characteristic. This quality has saved me from making many mistakes and saved me from lamenting later on. Being able to remain calm in an adverse situation helps me taking the right decision and that’s something which I find very helpful in my personal and professional life.

3雅思口語描述人物話題技巧
首先，描述人物前考生要確定一件事，就是你的人物從何說起。當(dāng)然我們要把題目中要求的都包含在內(nèi)，除此之外，考生們要建立起一個結(jié)構(gòu)，即人物結(jié)構(gòu)，包括背景信息、人物外貌、人物性格、主要成就、吸引你的特質(zhì)等。
就背景信息而言，很簡單，就是簡單介紹一下這個人是誰、跟你的關(guān)系、年齡、職業(yè)、過往經(jīng)驗等等，一切跟話題和你主要想表達的內(nèi)容有必要聯(lián)系的都可以介紹一下?？忌鷤円萌∩幔粋€考生描述的是一個老人，且主旨是在表達老人的樂觀，想通過老人參加二戰(zhàn)身負各種傷依然笑對自己的傷疤和所受的煎熬的例子來論證，那這個考生完全可以提一下老人的年齡、職業(yè)和過去的故事，來渲染老人樂觀的態(tài)度。而如果一個考生想要描述老人有創(chuàng)新精神，每天沉迷于研究小發(fā)明等，則也許沒有必要說出老人的職業(yè)和過往經(jīng)驗等。一切信息說與不說，都是可選擇的，全都在于考生選擇主要信息的能力。
當(dāng)人物被引出，接下來就需要考生將人物的基本特征介紹給考官了。這里老師要提醒考生注意的是，介紹外貌應(yīng)避免俗套的一些表達，比如：She’s tall and thin, and she has two big eyes. Her hair is long and black. 這樣的表達只能使你的分數(shù)停留在5分，甚至更低。其實描述人物外貌的方式有很多，首先在描述人物身材的時候，tall and thin已經(jīng)俗不可耐，tall還尚可，thin本身是個貶義詞，意為削瘦的，稀落的。在夸一個人瘦的時候，外國人通常不用thin，而是用slim(苗條的)來表達。其次，two big eyes在英語國家里并不常用，基因原因big eyes并不是大多數(shù)西方人關(guān)注的重點，所以這種表達可能會讓考官不明所以，無法感同身受。
再者，關(guān)于頭發(fā)，描述方法有很多種，比如thin hair頭發(fā)稀，wavy hair 卷發(fā)，波浪發(fā)，curly hair 卷毛，straight hair 直發(fā)，bald 禿頂?shù)?，dishevelled hair凌亂的頭發(fā)。其實考察考生描述人物外貌描述的好不好，關(guān)鍵是看考生能否讓考官聽后抓住人物的特色、對人物留下印象。這需要考生選取一些有特色的地方來描述，讓考官印象深刻。比如面部特征：freckle 雀斑，dimple 酒窩，oval face 鴨蛋臉，big-featured 五官較大的，double-chinned 雙下巴的，high-cheek-boned 顴骨很高，sharp-featured 五官分明的，well-featured 五官端正的，pimpled 有粉刺的，wrinkled 起皺紋的，high-bridged nose 高鼻梁，bright eyes明亮的眼神，broad face 寬臉，clean-shaven face 面龐清爽干凈等?？忌挥姓f出與以上這些類似的細節(jié)特征才能抓住聽者的興趣，令讀者印象深刻，否則做無用功。
描述完外貌，性格是人物類話題最必不可少的內(nèi)容，一般我們通過描述性格及事件來突出人物值得借鑒學(xué)習(xí)的地方，所以對于人物性格描述更不可落入俗套。比如很多考生描述朋友就只會用friendly、kind、nice等，其實有很多詞都可以表達友好、友善，比如amicable、amiable、benign等。
可以描述人的特質(zhì)的加分表達有：aspiring 有志氣的，有抱負的，dynamic 生機勃勃的，enthusiastic 熱心的，faithful 守信的，忠誠的，frank 坦率的，forceful (性格)堅強的，honest 誠實的，humorous幽默的，independent 有主見的，industrious 勤奮的，trustworthy可信賴的，sincere 真誠的，motivated 有動力的，responsible 負責(zé)任的，determined 堅定的，cooperative 合作的，strong-willed 意志堅定的等。考生可從以上詞匯中挑選，并選擇合適的故事進行包裝，進而突出人物特點。
在對人物的外貌、性格等特征描述完之后，接下來就需要考生搜集素材，通過一個個事例來把人物豐富起來，而具體選擇什么樣的事例、如何敘述，就需要看考生的邏輯能力和對于連貫性的把握了。但只要考生能邁出打破陳規(guī)的第一步，接下來的布局謀篇，就順利得多了。所以，從現(xiàn)在起，考生們就應(yīng)開始重新選擇人物，重新思考，重新選擇人物特點和表達方式，方能打動考官，得到滿意的分數(shù)。
雅思口語如何描述人物話題
關(guān)鍵一：思路-形容詞具體化
不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，這個話題的關(guān)鍵詞是“polite”,就像an interesting neighbor, a good parent,這些話題一樣，考官讓大家描述的這些話題都凸顯出其人物的性格特點。而這些性格特點往往在我們在日常生活中最容易被忽略。因為中文的語言思維會讓我們在聊天時對某一個人的性格下結(jié)論，而非延伸出來聊為什么你認為這個人有禮貌或是他怎么有禮貌。所以思維的差異是難點之一。
其次形容詞是一類很空洞的詞匯，舉個例子，任何一位出色的小說家都不會寫“公主善良，王子英勇，然后他們幸福的生活在一起了?！边@樣的故事，因為沒有說服力，也不會有讀者買賬。但是如果你說“公主善良，她經(jīng)常給窮人分發(fā)食物;王子英勇，他曾經(jīng)單槍匹馬戰(zhàn)勝惡龍”，這樣的故事就很有說服力，因為性格因具體而真實可信，而這里就是運用了例子在論證形容詞。所以，人物類話題的描述，尤其涉及到性格特點這塊，我們需要添例子。有禮貌的具體體現(xiàn)比如：
· He always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things.
· When we eat at a restaurant, he would say ‘thank you’ to the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table.
· Whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say ‘thank you’ to the driver.
· He might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking, or how good their cooking is.
關(guān)鍵二：語言-舉例的表達方式
解決了思路上的bug,我們再來看看語言上的，既然我們需要舉例來描述人物的性格，那么舉例的表達儲備，我們有多少呢?除了常規(guī)的表達，比如for example, for instance,take something or somebody as an example, 我們還需要一些句型來為高分添磚加瓦，因為句型也是雅思口語評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之一，以下就是列舉：
1. Just to give you an example……
2. Another example would be that…….
3. One other thing to mention would be that……
所以解決完這個話題的思路和語言，我們將所有的要素結(jié)合起來，再添一些關(guān)于人物的基本信息的細節(jié)描述，組織成一篇答案，大家注意例文中標(biāo)黃色的句型運用：
Well, the person I’d like to talk about is a good friend of mine called Nick. He must be one of the most polite people I know, which I’ll come to explain in a moment.
But firstly, as for how I know him, well, we’ve basically known each other since primary school, because we were in the same class and we still see each other quite frequently. You know, if I feel like going out and doing something, I normally give him a call and see if he’s free to meet up.
And moving on to why I think he’s so polite, well it’s basically because he’s just got really good manners. And just to give you an example, he always says thank you to people, even for the slightest things. For instance, I’ve noticed that whenever we’re eating at a restaurant, he would thank the waiters and waitresses every time they bring a dish to the table. And another example would be that whenever he gets off a taxi, he would always say thank you to the driver, which a lot of people probably think isn’t necessary, but I’m sure the taxi drivers really appreciate it.
So yeah, that’s basically why I’d say he’s such a polite person, and one other thing to mention would be that he’s always very complimentary to people. For example, he might make a comment about how nice someone’s looking is or how good their cooking is, which I know might be seen as being a bit insincere, but I think he genuinely means what he says, at least most of the time anyway!
So, that’s pretty much it, I suppose.
