雅思词汇:媒体与新闻
媒体题在雅思中很受欢迎,因为人们获取 news 的方式变化太快。你可能会被问到:网络新闻是否正在取代 newspaper?celebrity 文化是否对年轻人有害?针对儿童的 advertising 是否应被禁止?口语 Part 1 也常问你喜欢哪些节目或播客。
本词组收集了关于制作、传播和评判信息的词汇。人物与角色:journalist、reporter、editor、audience、viewer。媒介形式:broadcast、television、radio、podcast、magazine、documentary、channel。内容:article、headline、report、coverage、commentary。coverage(报道)尤其好用:"The coverage of the election was biased."
批判性地讨论媒体需要评价性词汇。bias 和 biased 描述不公正的片面报道;propaganda 指为影响舆论而散布的信息,常与政府有关;censorship 指对出版内容的审查。influence 和 influencer 用于讨论社交媒体红人的影响力,例如:"Because many influencers are paid to promote products, their opinions are not always reliable."
information、communication、entertainment 是通用但必不可少的词,大多数情况下不可数:要说 a lot of information,而不是 informations。publish 和 publication 既能谈新闻,也能谈书籍与研究。press 可以指整个新闻界,如 freedom of the press。
口语 Part 3 考官常让你比较过去和现在。可以练习 "Twenty years ago most people read a newspaper, whereas today many get their news from podcasts and social media." 这样的句子。把媒体词汇和比较句型结合,既能体现语言广度,也有助于组织较长的回答。
每天用卡片学习几分钟:新词明天隔夜复习,熟悉后间隔逐渐拉长。为了主动运用,用一小段文字比较你熟悉的两个新闻来源,说明哪个更可靠、为什么,并用上本词组的单词。
