不知道各位留学*党**们在中学的时候是否曾学过李阳疯狂英语？那酸爽，观察君至今难忘！但不得不承认，它对于我们当年“哑巴式”英语所带来的突破性进步。即便是现在大家在面对雅思的时候，口语也是阻碍我们取得高分的障碍，不知道有多少烤鸭们倒在了雅思口语的屠刀下。真真是应了那句：常在江湖飘，哪能不挨刀？月月刷雅思，谁知口语苦？
其实曾经的疯狂英语能够帮助我们，是因为它将英语口语联想化，在说得时候更多地注意思维联想，不只是单纯的说而已。如果你想考好雅思口语，你想真正地提高英语口语，请你平时多一点用英语联想，多一点自言自语，多一点自问自答，多一点尝试用英语去回忆和复述你每一天的生活。有没有好的partners，有没有英语环境，有没有老外朋友等等这些要素都不是决定性的。关键是从这一刻起 indulge yourself in English。跟着观察君，来一场疯狂雅思吧！
下面观察君要说的内容并不是所谓的答案，仅仅是观察君举个栗子，为了给大家展示一个“从stories到topics”的联想过程，但是我觉得这个过程比背答案还要重要得多得多。毕竟答案是死的，但思维是活的。当你掌握了联想思维，雅思口语也不再是辣么难了~
家庭生活篇
一说到家庭，肯定是由人和住所所构成，由感情和责任所牵引。这个不废话了，在这样一个定义域里，我们能联想多少个可能的线索你。以下为我的浮翩乱想（基本按照亲身经历+普世价值的思路）
家庭意味着什么？
幸福的 -- happy
I will never have to worry about the issues of food and clothing
no matter what I want to pursue, they always financially as well as spiritually support me
they always share their life experience with me
they alwyas provide me with the best growing environment
even they have troubles or encounter adversity, they always wear a warm smile on their face. Never let me worry about their personal affairs
温暖的 -- warm
whenever I feel frustrated, they always give me a lot of words of encouragement;
I always obtain physical as well as spiritual support and encouragement from my parents;
they always give priority to concern about what I need;
宽容的-- tolerant
be tolerant of my faults;
always give me a chance to correct the mistakes I make;
I have never gotten a scolding (挨骂) from my parents;
they never feel disappointed with my poor performance in study;
there are no mistakes in the world, but only lessons;
to their minds, the more mistakes I make, the more progress I will achieve•••
相互理解和尊重的 -- mutual understanding and respect
we always treat each other in a respectful way
sometimes we may have a divergence of views in some typical issues, but this is not going to preventing us from drawing on collective wisdom and absorbing all useful ideas from each other
although there is a generation gap between my parents and I, we still enjoy a harmonious family atmosphere
舒适的 -- comfortable
I always enjoy the peaceful environment when back home from work or study
although my bedroom is not decorated with luxious ornament, it is always full of my happy memory
It is a place where I can forget about all the troubles I have and get rid of any annoying things
以上就是我对对于“家庭”的联想，其实还有很多，我就不一一列举了。 平时在我们准备雅思口语的时候，我觉得吧，应该多做这样的联想，从一两个单词开始，尝试用英语去说明它的具体意义，尝试结合自己的亲身经历去描述一个深刻的内容。为什么要这样做呢？为的就是当我们在考试中遇到卡壳的时候，能够马上调动一两句“平时已经有深刻体会的、看起来common sense的、 却又无懈可击”的话，尽可能让自己在夹缝中有充分的时间去思考，去调整，去组织语言。
接着，我们需要找到具体的载体来充实上面所说的“普世价值”，也就是我们要联系具体的人，物和事。
父亲(father)--工作(例如：work for the government, lawer, doctor•••)--严肃(serious, take everything seriously, not take/play a joke)--认真严谨(do everything based on rigorous standards)--对孩子要求严格(be strict with what I do)----望子成龙(hold high expectation for his child)--对孩子的不良行为很生气(be angry with his child's misbahviour 例如：沉迷电脑游戏 indulge himself with computer games; 不做作业 lazy in doing homework; 说谎 tell a lie; 早恋 puppy love••••)--代沟(generation gap between father and son)--人生观不一样(have a divergence of outlook on life)--矛盾吵架(may easily quarrel with each other, even for trivial things)--出发点是爱孩子(all he does is for our own good)--有责任感(hold responsibility for the growing up of his child)--做事认真，不怕困难，不轻易放弃(never easily give up no matter what he does; in his life dictionary, you cann't find the word "give up")--为我树立榜样(set a good example for me)--崇拜(admire him most)--激励我前行(stimulate me to progress and achieve my goal)--爸爸也需要孩子的照顾(we need take good care of him)--变老变弱(getting older and may easily suffer from chronic diseases)--我们即将出国，见面减少，因此有点愧疚(once I make a decision to go aboard, that means we cannot fuifill our own responsibilty in family care. Sometimes I feel sorry that I cannot spend more time in alleviating his heavy burden from family)--计划生育(one child policy, no sibling)--爸爸想念孩子(He miss me a lot even though he does not look like that)•••••••••
母亲(mother)--家庭主妇(household lady)--学历不高(didn't receive higher education)--但为人体贴(considerate, thoughtful)--和蔼可亲的(amiable, affable)--勤劳的(industrious)--好厨师(the best cook)--熟悉各种菜式(be skillful in cooking different types of food)--用心(with great consideration)--善于搭配菜式(she is a expert in combining appropriate amount of meat and vegetable together)--好味道的(tasty, delicious)--健康的(healthy, wholesome)--总是为我提供良好的成长环境(always provide me with a good growing environment)--不让*操我**心家庭的大小事务(never let me worry about family affair)--无私的(selfless)--总是鼓励我(always support and encourage me)--只想我过得开心幸福(live a happy life)--出国后想念妈妈(miss my mum)--体会到生活有多么的不容易(it is the first time for me to realise how difficult to maintain a daily life)--自己要变得自立(become physically and psychologically independent)--学会关心别人(learn to show concerns for the people around me)--努力学习(study hard)--有自己的事业(stuggle for a promising future)--不让妈妈失望(never let her down)••••••
是不是已经对我佩服的五体投地，不能自已了？别这样，观察君我可是个低调的人，你们这样会让我害羞的，毕竟我只是个羞涩的汉纸！
既然说到了栗子，那也得说下对应的题目了：
Part1:
关于家庭成员的问题(例如父母各自的工作)；关于cooking问题(谁负责煮饭，怎么煮，学会煮饭重要吗)；关于housework问题(平时谁负责打扫卫生，学会做家务对于孩子来说重要吗)。
Part2:
describe a family member，describe a person you admire most, describe an important advice，describe a movie(由于我不喜欢看电影，所以我会选择父亲这一角度为切入口，编一部电影叫做《MY FATHER AND I》-- 代沟)，describe your favouriate song/ describe a song you heard in your childhood(世上只有妈妈好)，describe a change of life(出国后懂得关心父母)，describe an old person。
part3:
关于代沟，关于责任，关于老年人照顾问题。
当然，这个方法只是观察君的一家之言，不一定适合所有烤鸭们。而关于提高雅思口语的方法也有很多，不同的人适合不同的方法，适合的才是最好的。
