雅思口語part1姓名類話題是雅思口語中必考的話題之一。所以考生們需要對其深入了解。即使在雅思口語備考的過程中，考生基本上都會接觸這類話題，但總是會因為其比較簡單而忽視，從而導致口語考試開場便失利。因此今天小編為大家?guī)�來比較全面的話題內容分析，希望大家能夠關注。

　　首先，來看看姓名類話題一般都涉及哪些問題?

　　Names

　　> Do you like your name?

　　> Who give you your name?

　　> What names are most common in your hometown?

　　> Do you have any special traditions about naming children?

　　……

　　對于這類問題看起來其實都是比較簡單的，最重要的是思路如何展開：

　　首先，當問到你的名字或誰為你取得名字時，可以先介紹自己的名字;然后介紹你名字的特點以及所賦予的意義(起名字的人對你的期望和美好的憧憬);第三步可以介紹名字對你個人的特別意義和重要性(因為一般會問到是否會改名字或者是否想過改名字等問題)，但是一定要贅述啰嗦盡量直奔主題，可以說說你為什么喜歡你的名字，有什么特別的價值和情感色彩，以及對你的影響等等，理由可以很具體。如果還有時間，最后可以介紹一下在你的家鄉(xiāng)起名字的風俗和傳統(tǒng)特點，有時候考官也會問到。

　　而在此類話題中大家要明白一些常用的問題表達，看起來是不同的問題其實目的都是相同的，自然考官想要的答案也是一樣的：

　　1. What is your full name?

　　What’s your name?

　　How should I address you?

　　How should I call you?

　　2. Who gave you your name?

　　Who gave this name to you ?

　　Does your name have any particular meaning?

　　3. Do you like your name?

　　Would you like to change your name?

　　Have you ever changed any name before?

　　Do you want to change your name before?

　　4. In your country, do people feel that their name is very important?

　　Who usually names babies in your country?

　　Do you have any special traditions about naming children in your hometown?

　　下面根據(jù)具體的問題及答案來系統(tǒng)的看一下整個話題：

　　1. What is your full name? How should I address you?

　　My full name is XXX. And my English name is Jennie. You can call me Jennie.

　　提示：回答姓名雖然是很簡單的問題，但是考生要通過簡單的擴展展現(xiàn)出自己與小學生英文水平的不同。很多人把全名full(短音)name念成傻瓜名字fool(長音)name而貽笑大方。在這里考生沒有必要大做文章，只要講清楚姓名就可以。同時因為大多數(shù)考官不太會念中文名字，所以最好給出英文名字。

　　2. Does your name have any special meaning or significance?

　　Yes, it does have a special meaning. Literally it means to travel as far as beyond the stars.

　　Strategy：在這里可以運用一點點小的技巧。為了從眾多考生中脫穎而出，我們可以在準備充分的基礎上加上一點點新意。充分發(fā)揮想象力，比如說：我們就可以講這個姓名是算命先生給的，并且有了這個名字就可以嫁個老公：What's more, this name was given by a fortune-teller and he said with this name I would marry a great guy.

　　提示：其實不知道自己姓名的意思也沒關系。只要坦誠的告訴考官就可以。但是不可以簡單的說“I don't know”，而應該做合理的猜測以展現(xiàn)自己出自己流利的英文表達。但是在猜測的時候，考生可以充分的發(fā)揮想象力，沒有必要長篇大論。如：I don't really know. It is given by my grandfather. I guess it means to travel as far as beyond the starts, because he also wanted me to become a great and successful person.

　　3. Have you ever changed your name? Why or why not?

　　No, I haven't. I'm very happy about my Chinese name. And I guess I am never going to change it.

　　Well, yes. The previous name I had just sounds so silly. It is even close to the Chinese word for “baboon”. So in order to avoid continuing embarrassing myself, I changed it. And now I'm happy about my current name.

　　Notes：這道題通常是為下面的題目作鋪墊。有兩種答題的方向，考生可以自己做出選擇。

　　Do Chinese people like changing their names? Why or why not?

　　In my personal opinion, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names, because to most people names are just symbols, though some people do believe names can affect the course of their life. In that case, if they are not content with who they are or what they have, they may change their names.

　　What kind of people like changing their names?

　　Well, generally Chinese people don't like changing their names. But if they do, they must believe names are important to them, more than just symbols, or somehow carries a significant meaning to them. Among them, of course, some people are just superstitious.

　　名字對大多數(shù)中國人來說確實只是一個符號。但是如果名字對一個人有特別的含義則有可能促使人改名字。

　　4. What's their purpose in changing their names?

　　It is hard to say. But as far as I know there are two major purposes. Number one, people change their names to make their names sound better. Number two, they change their names in order to change their destiny, because they believe names can affect the course of their life, no matter it is superstitious belief or just a willful thought.

　　Well, this is a big question. As far as I know, I don't think Chinese people like to change their names often. Because most people believe names are just symbols. They don't change anything. And destiny is in their own hands to make.

　　Notes：該題目與前一道題目形成對比，前一道題目是個人的行為，本題目涉及的是群體的行為。姓名的改變通常由于以下一些原因：1、聲音不好聽或拗口2、與其他詞(通常不是好詞)諧音3、迷信，認為改變姓名可以改變運道等。

　　5. In your culture, do women change their names when they get married?

　　I know it is quite common for women to take on their spouse's family name in other cultures. But in my culture, that is not the case—women often keep their maiden name even after getting married. But the children will follow the father's surname.

　　Notes：女子出嫁后而不隨夫姓，這是中國很普遍的現(xiàn)象。而國外卻大多與此相反。考生可以采取中外對比的方式回答問題。

　　從這些問題我們可以總結如下：在回答第一部分的問題時，考生不要只給考官一個“YES”或“NO”的答案，或是采用“點頭搖頭術”的交流方式。考生只有在連續(xù)用英語回答的前提下才能使雅思考官對其英語的駕馭能力進行評估、打分。所以在雅思口語考試的環(huán)節(jié)中，“Somethingis better than nothing!”是永恒的王道。
