雅思口语话题模板：喜欢的电影 The name of my faourite movie is Casablanca which was directed by Michael Curtiz. It was released in 1943 and the story was adopted from a stage-play named Everybody comes to Ricks. The movie starred Humphery Bogart Ingrid Bergman and was made in USA. It was a romantic drama film and the story-line was set during the World War II. It focuses on a man torn between love virtue. In 1941 American expatriot Rick who professed to be neutral by all means met his former lover Ilsa in his nightclub gambling den. She was accompanied by her husband, Laszlo, a renowned fugitive Czech Resistance Leader. They needed a letter to escape to America, where he can continue his work against Nazis. German Major came to Casablanca to see that Laszlo does not succeed. One night Ilsa confronted Rich in the deserted cafe and asked for the letter. She threatened him with a gun for the letter and later on confessed that she still loves him. Ricks bitterness dissolved learning that IIsa was married to Laszlo before even their relationship began. When Rick and IIsa planned to flew together, she could not do so because all of a sudden she found that her husband was still
The Beginnings When Harvey Wilcox bought a piece of land in Southern California in 1887 and named it ‘Hollywood’, he had no idea that only a few years later filmmakers would make this spot the movie center of the world. However, it was Thomas Edison who laid the first milestone in American cinema history by inventing his Kinematoscope in 1891. In 1894 Edison presented his film Black Diamond Express to the audiences which set the foundation of the new entertainment. The first genius in early film history was D.W. Griffith who realized that the static camera was not enough to mediate his vision and by starting to use close-ups, cross-cutting, fade-outs and other camera technique he invented movie editing. While he was also the first person to shoot a film in Hollywood, namely In Old California (1910), his greatest success remains The Birth of a Nation (1915), a three-hour epic of the Civil War
环球雅思口语老师给大家带来关于电影类的口语范文一篇，大家可以练习起来囖～ Do you like watching movies? / How often do you go to the cinema? Definitely, watching movies is my cup of tea. You know, I'm always busy in studying. But I will go to the cinema as often as possible, maybe once every other week because it is one of my favourite ways to relax. I believe films are a wonderful form of art. Many of my friends have the same habit, so we always go to Wanda International Cinema on weekends together, which I think is the best cinema in Beijing. Why do you like to watch films? Firstly, I think watching films is a good way to relax. You know, when watching a film, I will throw all of my emotion to the story so that I can forget nearly everything about myself, especially the troubles. Also, I can learn many things from the roles in films, for example, I learned how to join forces to fight again devil from my favourite movie . Do you like to watch films in the cinema or at home? I prefer watching films in the cinema, absolutely. You know, the atmosphere and the sound effect are prefect in the cinema, which you cannot feel at home, facing a small screen, especially for scientific and horror. So you can understand the story and the roles' emotion better, also you are able to learn more from the films. What kind of films do you like? I love fancy film the most. They are full of magic, imagination and creativity. I believe only imagination can make our real life more colorful. My favorite movie is , which is typical of this kind of movies. I admire J.K.Rowling, the producer of it; I really wonder how those wonderful ideas came from her head! Who is your favorite movie star? My favorite movie star is Yang Ziqiong, who is very famous not only in China but also in Hollywood. She is one of the earliest actresses accepted by Hollywood and became popular in the world. She's good at martial arts. She's not very beautiful but her kongfu is really amazing, quick, clear-cut and powerful. I think she's the proud of China, not only for her position in Hollywood, but also because she spread Chinese traditional kongfu in the world. What's the difference between American films and Chinese films? I think the biggest difference lies in the purpose of the film, result from the level of freedom. You know, most of Chinese films just describe an ordinary story and focus on teaching the audience some principles, because the government controls the contents of films stringently. But because of freedom, the purpose of most American films is to give audience an impressive shock, and then earn enormous profits.
雅思口语Part2常考话题：你喜欢的电影本文收集整理了雅思口语Part2常考话题：你喜欢的电影。雅思口语Part2着重考察同学们的英语交流能力，同学们在备考阶段可以注意多积累素材，平时多模仿多练习，这样在考试中才不至于无话可说。 Ok, a popular movie I have watched is called Raise the Red Lanterns. Basically, it's a tragedy, and I first saw the movie in 1989, about two years after it was released. I saw it on video, and I watched it with a group of my friends. I first saw this movie because a friend of mine said it was very artistic and even kind of eerie. Since I like those kinds of films, I decided to see it. I remember how fascinated I was with the film. Well, basically it was about a young bride who becomes a concubine and finds out that there are a lot of inner politics going on among the concubines, and she gets caught up in it and even accidentally causes the death of one of the wives. She tries to fight against it all, and as she does, things just seem to get worse and worse. She finds out that there is one concubine in particular who is behind most of her problems.
雅思口语话题详解：a movie you would like to watch again 说到电影话题，很多同学表示，老题目了，还是很简单的嘛。 Describe a movie you would like to watch again： You should say: What it was about When and where you watched it Who you watched it with and explain why you would like to watch it again (最后一问应为重点) 如果要小编来回答，的确会选择这部14年上映的大片：星际穿越Interstellar，因为实在太有的说了! 引人的剧情(plot)，酷炫的特效(special effect)，强大的演员阵容(cast)，贯彻全宇宙的经典主题：爱。当然还有最重要的一点，就是十分符合题目，确实要watch again。因为一遍是真看不懂啊! 当然，如果你一定要开启作死模式，和考官去探讨虫洞，五维空间什么的小编绝不会拦你。 具体怎么说呢? 让我们来听听老师的意见： 叙述误区 1.比例问题：不要过多的准备和描述剧情，更重要的是剧情跟你的关系最好用2-3句总结一下剧情，然后你的引出感受 2.时态变化：观影经历：一般过去时;剧情：一般现在时
3.思路受限：不要限定在剧情陈述，可以放眼演员阵容(cast)，特效(3D)，版本升级 语言点提示 1. 电影词汇 类型：comedy, tragedy, science fiction, fantasy, thriller, suspension, animation 演职人员阵容: cast (leading/supporting/voice, character, director) 其他: visual & sound effect, plot, background, finale 2. 感受词 shocked, amazed, touched, moved, amused, entertained, impressed 我们可以这么说： As my favorite epic science fiction film, Interstellar is definitely the one that I would like to watch again. And it was last year, like in October, everybody around me was talking about Interstellar which was no doubt the box-office smash and the hottest topic at the moment. After hearing so much about it, I decided to go to the cinema to appreciate it with the company of my boyfriend who happened to be a major scientific enthusiast, and to my knowledge he had looked forward to it for a long time. The film is truly amazing both on plot and special effect. The whole story features a crew of astronauts and scientists who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. During this risky trip, we witness both the beauty and cruelty of the universe, the bright & dark side of human beings. But it’s a ctually love that really touches every audience. I have to confess that I am really not a fan of science fictions, but Interstellar definitely changes my mind. It takes use of a artistic and accessible way to help audience like me to get beneath the skin of certain scientific concept, but at the same time, we could still get its overriding message about the powerful forces of the one thing we all know but can’t measure in scientific terms. LOVE. For a masterpiece like that, who do not wanna watch & get amazed again. And I’d like to appreciate this scientific saga again also because, in the film, there are still certain cliffhangers and plots that really confused me, especially the
好莱坞经典电影中的英语时态 金燕@ 2009-5-12 17:30 引用通告分类: 未归类 【作者：老罗培训许岑】 我们在初中或高中学习英语语法的时候，都会花费大量的时间精力学习英语的时态。但是，我们通常把注意力都放在如何做对选择题或填空题上面，而很少接触日常生活中地道准确的英语时态实际应用。所以最后我们只能做对题目，却不会在日常应用英语交流的时候准确地道的使用英语时态，尤其是将来进行时态、现在完成进行时态、使用一般进行时表示将来等比较复杂的英语时态。 我在老罗英语培训开设的“看电影学英语”课程中介绍看电影学英语的好处之一，就包括“使学习者真正掌握地道准确的英语时态并自如地应用”。我们先来看一个在电影中出现的，准确应用英语时态的例子： 在电影《西雅图夜未眠（Sleepless In Seattle）》中，Annie的未婚夫Walter初次跟Annie 的家人见面，担心自己不被Annie的家人喜欢或接受，就在进门之前问Annie“Am I what they had in mind？”意思就是“我是他们想的那样的吗？”Annie安慰他“Oh, Walter they’ re going to love you！”而在他们见了面，Walter确实被大家喜爱之后，Annie又对Walter 说 “They love you. I told you they would love you and they loved you.” 我们注意上面的这句话的动词“love”的时态，首先是一般现在时，跟着是过去将来时，最后是过去时。我们从上下文意思看出，Annie的这句话是说“他们（现在）是爱你的。我（之前）告诉过你他们（将）会爱你，而他们（刚才见面的时候）确是爱你的。”这句话说得很简洁，没有过多的时间副词来协助，而只用动词时态的变换即达到准确地表达。所以像电影中这么活生生的例句对我们真正掌握英语的时态是有很大的好处的。

The movie was filmed in Los Angeles and was on in February 2010, not too old. I chose it because of the ranking, but when I actually watched it, I realized that it was a teen’s movie. However, I didn’t regret watching it because I think I learned something from the movie. It is interesting because it sees celebrity life from another angle and tells us that we are blessed to be common people because there is more freedom for us to enjoy. In the film, it shows us how hard it might be when a person can’t make his own choices and decisions. At that point, material wealth will not matter to them because they can’t live their life the way they really want to.
好莱坞位于美国西海岸加利福尼亚州洛杉矶郊外的好莱坞，这是一个依山傍水，景色宜人的地方。最早是由摄影师寻找外景地所发现的，大约在20世纪初，这里便吸引了许多拍摄者，而后是一些为了逃避专利公司控制的小公司和独立制片商们纷纷涌来，逐渐形成了一个电影中心。在第一次世界大战之前以及之后的一段时间内，格里菲斯和卓别林等一些电影大师们为美国赢得了世界名誉，华尔街的大财团插手电影业，好莱坞电影城迅速兴起，恰恰适应了美国在这一时期的经济飞速发展的需要，电影也进一步纳入经济机制，成为谋取利润的一部分。资本的雄厚，影片产量的增多，保证了美国电影市场在世界上的倾销，洛杉矶郊外的小村庄最终成为一个庞大的电影城，好莱坞也在无形中成为美国电影的代名词。 Hollywood is located in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, United States West Coast, this is a yard, a scenic place.
