关于马云先生的素材大家肯定不陌生了,所以有些孩子会担心,会不会在雅思口语考场上跟考官聊马先生会很俗气,嗯……面对这个问题有一个解决方法,就是自己先招了。告诉雅思考官,“我知道你可能听了好几百遍这个人了,但是我偏要说”!例如:Speaking of the most successful businessman in China, the first person who pops into everybody's head is Jack Ma, who's the founder and CEO of Alibaba Group. I know you must have heard a lot about him from other candidates, but he's truly the businessman I admire the most, 'cause he dramatically changed my lifestyle.
然后就开始说他是如何改变了你的生活,另外,还可突出以下他的才能好学和知识渊博,如果可能的话,把knowledgeable person也捎带脚说了!
下面的各个段落自由拼凑的灵活度比较高,可以选择自己喜欢的段落组合成答案素材:
He plays an important role in e-commerce in China, 'cause he's the first businessman who established/set up an online shopping website.
I heard a lot about him in the news. If I remember right, he used to be an English teacher before he became a businessman. But he's pretty forward-looking, I mean, he saw the potential influence of Internet on people's lives, so he went ahead and established the website I mentioned earlier. He encountered many obstacles along the way, at first, the company only had about 10 employees, but now, after 18 years, it has become a major corporation that went public in 2014. Since then, Jack Ma has become a household name in China.
He's the kind of person who never stopped learning, although he's already pretty knowledgeable.
Like I said, he used to be an English teacher who had never managed people before. But after he started his new career, he had to learn how to be a boss. He must have read a lot about leadership or how to develop organizational skills. Fortunately, he was born to be a leader, I mean, he has the personal charisma, we can tell that from all those interviews and speeches he made.
Although he knows a lot, he's quite humble. That's what I like about him.
Before he set up this website, we could only shop in physical stores during opening hours. But now things are different, we are able to order whatever we like whenever and wherever we want.
And another amazing thing about his website is, it provides a platform for people to do their own small business, in other words, it offers job opportunities.
Plus, his life story is really encouraging and inspiring. That's why he's always invited to give speeches to motivate young people, you know, to pursue their dreams.
He set a pretty good example to youngsters. I mean, he shows what people can achieve if you are determined and hardworking enough.
What I admire most about him is that he's got a great sense of responsibility towards society. Every year he donates a lot to charity, and he has set up a foundation for young directors. If he knows a director who's got an awesome script but has no money to make the film, he would offer generous help.
