雅思口語(yǔ)每周一題——藝術(shù)

　　藝術(shù)話題今年第一次出現(xiàn)在了雅思口語(yǔ)的第一部分，題目包括是否喜歡藝術(shù)，是不是經(jīng)常去藝術(shù)館、博物館什么的。從過去的一年來看，雅思考題的確越來越多的涉及到藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域，從繪畫到藝術(shù)品，到藝術(shù)活動(dòng)，再到博物館、音樂廳。其實(shí)題目在老外看來很普通，可對(duì)我們來講挑戰(zhàn)很大，一是語(yǔ)言資源上的，一是生活經(jīng)歷上的。考試的時(shí)候當(dāng)然可以實(shí)話實(shí)說，不喜歡就是不喜歡，不去就是不去，只要在給出否定的答案后再加點(diǎn)小小的解釋和闡述就好了（可參考下面列的答案）；考試之外如果有時(shí)間的話真應(yīng)該去這些地方看看。

　　1. Do you like art (e.g. painting?

　　別忘了“答案+1”！

　　No, I’m not really artistic. But I do like more physical type of art like drama, dance or martial arts.

　　No, I’m not that fond of art. I was never any good at it. I’m more of a sports person actually, basketball, jogging, that sort of thing.

　　2. Do you often go to art gallery or museum?

　　估計(jì)好幾年沒去了吧？

　　No, I haven't been to one for years. My dad was a museum lover and took me to lots when I was a kid.

　　Not very often.... they are quite boring usually, just the fact you have to be quiet, not touch anything, and read those tiny little notes about each thing.

　　3. In you childhood, what experience of art did you have?

　　題目讓人崩潰，想想好像只參加過合唱團(tuán)什么的，還出過板報(bào)，不知道算不算藝術(shù)。

　　When I was in primary school, I used to draw a lot. Not to brag, I could draw anything. I was best at still life.

　　Hardly any. I was kind of a bookworm. I was not very much into art. I spent most of my time working on maths and physics problems.

　　4. What art form were you best at?

　　Photography. I can take excellent pictures.

　　None. I’m not really artistic, nor musical. I’m more of an outdoors type. 其實(shí)自己連outdoors type都不是，整天上班...周末上課...

　　5. Do you think it’s important to keep art in school?

　　Yes, art must stay in schools without question. It is a great way to vent feelings and express ideas and views. I could not imagine a school not offering art to its students.

　　Sure. Art isn't just about art. Art is a creative skill. It's a thinking process that can be used in all areas in one’s life. It teaches one to think outside the box, to search for alternative solutions and to dare to try something different.

　　的確是很需要（也沒啥理由），想起在盧浮宮參觀的時(shí)候，看到一些法國(guó)小學(xué)生盤腿坐在地上，聽老師講解名畫，藝術(shù)課搬到盧浮宮去上了，看來什么都要從娃娃抓起呀！
