詞海戰術破解雅思口語食物話題
食物和烹飪一直是雅思口語中較多見的話題之一。雅思考試對于生活的貼近可見一斑。但是學生在這個話題上的發揮卻常常不盡如人意。可能是我們的傳統教材中很少有涉及到這個話題的，因而學生對相關的詞匯較為缺乏。
當然，我們在描述的時候也應盡量選取較為簡單的菜肴去描述，而且最好是西式菜肴。中式菜肴通常以種類繁多，烹飪復雜而著名。有時要把這樣的菜介紹清楚已屬不易。
這一類考題有以某一道菜為主要考點的：
How do you cook this dish?
Why is it your favorite dish?來
也有以一頓豐盛的菜肴為主要考點的：
What did the meal consist of?
Was it made for a special occasion?
Why was the meal so special?
還有一些考題問的是一些相關的信息，比如烹飪者、烹飪地點、共同進餐的人和喜歡烹飪或這道菜的理由。
Who cooks your meal?
Who do you often eat meals with?
Where did you cook it or eat it?
Why did you enjoy it?
我們先一起來看一道關于菜肴烹飪的話題卡：
Describe A Dish
Describe one of your favorite dishes.
You should say:
From whom you learnt to cook it.
How this dish is cooked.
Who you usually cook for.
And explain why you enjoy it.

{原創范例} I am not much of a cook, but I do cook one dish wellsteamed fish. It is my moms specialty. When I moved out of my parents house, I missed it so much that I asked Mom to teach me how to cook it. And now I can make restaurant quality steamed fish.
在這段話的開頭用了讓步的手法，先表明我不太會做菜，以突出我做清蒸魚非常拿手。這個話題中會涉及到一些烹飪菜肴一類的較為專業的詞匯，大家可能比較陌生。這段中specialty表示拿手菜。
{原創范例} Cooking steamed fish is super easy. But to get the most out of this recipe, make sure the fish you use is live, at least fresh. You also need ginger, spring onions, mushrooms and chili. First, clean the fish, cut the stalks of spring onions to almost 2 inch lengths, slice ginger and cut up mushrooms and chilies.
在這里recipe指食譜，而其中用到的一些動詞cutto almost 2 inch lengths, slice, cut up都是菜肴制作中較為常用的，大家需要特別注意?！睹刻烊r沖刺雅思口語》的主編沙莎老師指出，描述一個制作過程的時候通常少不了一些表示步驟先后的連接詞，如這里的first和后文的next, after that和finally都是需要學習的。
{原創范例} Next, place the fish on a shallow dish and drizzle a little soy sauce and water over the fish. After that, scatter the rest of the ingredients evenly over the fish. Finally, place the dish on a rack in a wok with some water and steam it on high heat for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot and it is perfect in every way.
在這段中，大家需要注意的還是一些動詞。drizzle指灑，scatter指散開、撒開，通常指固體的東西。steam on high heat指以高火蒸。
