　　and explain why you think it is unusual

　　話題考頻：

　　建筑物的話題一直是雅思口語話題的熱門考題，有時考察的是歷史建筑，有時考察的是現(xiàn)代建筑物，這個話題可以涵蓋古今建筑，只要突出其“unusual/不同尋常”的特征即可

　　相關(guān)考題：

　　Describe a modern building

　　Describe a historic building

　　話題解析：

　　1.在回答這個問題的時候，為了能詳細且準確地介紹該建筑物，最好能提前準備一些與建筑物相關(guān)的一些詞語，比如說“外部”、“內(nèi)部”、“柱子”、“面”等等，因此，我們可以登陸我們感興趣的建筑物的英文介紹頁面，最好是官方的網(wǎng)站，把里面的一些介紹性的，可取的說法借用過來，這個也是我們所講的考試前要做準備

　　2.題目的核心詞是“unusual”一字，所以我們在開頭以及結(jié)尾的時候最好要突出該建筑物比較獨特的地方，才能扣題

　　3.在解釋“為何我覺得此建筑物很獨特”的時候，要注意關(guān)于原因的表達，因果關(guān)系要合乎邏輯，比如在接下來要說到的范文當(dāng)中，小蠻腰造型奇特，且又是當(dāng)?shù)氐乇砼c娛樂場所，用以交代選擇說小蠻腰的原因

　　4.此話題將以廣州的地標建筑廣州塔作為范例，廣州塔有一個外號叫“小蠻腰”，之所以叫這個名字是因為其獨特的造型，同時它也是廣州人休閑娛樂的好去處，元旦、農(nóng)歷新年、圣誕節(jié)也會有很多燈光秀活動，話題可延續(xù)性較強

　　話題詞匯參考：

　　1.電視塔：TV tower

　　2.小蠻腰：slender waist

　　3.觀光：sightseeing

　　4.地點：venue

　　5.摩天輪：ferris wheel

　　6.(小蠻腰的)橢圓形的面：ellipse

　　我們可以這么說：

　　Here I would like to talk about the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, which is one of the local landmarks and famous for its unique design and architecture. I’ve been there for several times and I will recommend it to every visitor to this city.

　　The Canton Tower is actually an astronomical and sightseeing tower designed by Dutch architects, located on Haixinsha Island, which was originally the venue for the 2010 Asian Games. It made its name and be known of the whole Asia because of its unusual and special structure shown in the opening and closing ceremony of the Asian Games on TV. Locals give it a nickname as “the slender waist” because of its twisted structure. Its exterior form is generated by two ellipses, one at foundation level and the other one at top. These two ellipses are rotated relative to another, and the tightening caused by the rotation between the two ellipses forms a "waist"; so I think that’s the reason why it has such a vivid local name.

　　I’ve visited the interior of the tower, which is pretty amazing as well. Inside, it is subdivided into different zones with various functions, including TV and radio transmission facilities, you know, as it is supposed to be, and observatory decks for you to admire the view of the whole city, the revolving restaurant, which I heard is pretty classy but I failed to try last time, horizontal ferris wheel, recommended as the best venue for proposal in the city, exhibition spaces, shops, and 4D cinemas etc. So you can say, it is a multi-functional place for our local people. And the most important thing is, you could enjoy wonderful landscape there! Therefore, I really think this unusual architecture is a good way for you to hang out with friends and appreciate the great beauty of the city.
