关于音乐的话题，一直以来在雅思口语试题中都占有一席之地。从Part 1中考察考生“最喜爱的音乐类型”、“小时候听过的歌曲”，到Part 2当前的考题“最喜爱的歌手或者乐队”，都对考生就音乐领域的专业词汇表达，下面是雅思口语描述一个歌手的方法，跟小编一起来了解下吧：
Describe a popular band or singer in your country
You should say
When it first become popular?
What style of music it perform
Who (what kinds of people) like this band or singer
And explain why you think they are popular
Music haves the magic power to puts us in a special mood and an excellent singer can strike a spiritual chord with his or her audience. Han Hong, who is my favorite among numerous singers, is a wonderful example of this.
Han Hong, one of the greatest singers in China, and has won the best female singer award many times. She made her name as a singer and composer by her song ‘Snow Territory Ray’ at 1997. In 2005, the song ‘Heaven road’ raised her to a shiningly new level and made her a household name. Han Hong gained popularity amongst the youth with her brave Tibetan style performance as well as her clear and pleasant voice. It was truly a spiritual enjoyment to listen to her ether voice, while she displayed her deep love for Tibet.
Besides her singing talent, Han Hong have a lot of other precious qualities, which contribute a lot to her fame. For instance, her love conveyed in her song ‘Day Break’ moved thousands of audience present in the party on March 15 in 2000. That song was a gift for a little girl who had lost her parents in an accident. The girl survived at the price of her mom’s life. Han Hong expected this song to be always be there for this girl for the rest of her life, no matter ups and downs. Off the stage, Han Hongnever cease financially aiding those unfortunate children.
What is a rarity is that Han Hong learned quickly from her mistakes, which few celebrities are brave enough to do.Well-known as a public figure, Han Hong became arrogant once that she felt affronted when mistaken as an ordinary woman by a toilet cleaner. She made a public apology to that cleaner and apology was accepted.
As far as I am concerned, Han Hong is popular for her singing gift but far more for her charming personality.
2雅思口语描述你最喜爱的歌手
据实际课堂反馈得出，许多学生当被问到喜欢什么类型的歌曲时，往往最常见的答案就是pop music。这其中，还有相当一部分学生会将流行音乐误以为是popular music。虽然大多数情况下，pop和popular是可以通用的，但当表示音乐类型的时候，这是两个截然不同的概念。popular作为形容词的时候表达的含义是“流行的”，所以popular music表达的“流行音乐”体裁不限，范围更广，例如：R&B, Rock, Hip-hop, Pop等。而单纯的pop music则指的是以歌颂爱情为主题，主打年轻人为市场，结合各种乐器碰撞出来的混合效果的音乐。所以，足以见得，pop music是属于popular music中的一种。
当然，需要提醒广大考生们注意的是，考官的耳朵已经开始疲惫了，所以这些“大众”答案已经不能让你脱颖而出了。关于音乐种类，光光知道一个pop music是远远不够的。最好，考生在全面了解各种音乐种类的同时，还能熟悉各种类型相应的代表歌手及代表曲目。下面，笔者将为考生们整理出一些主流的相关词汇表达：
1.classical music古典音乐。在朗文字典上的解释为music that people consider serious and that hasbeen popular for a long time。而classical music在狭义上指的是海顿(Haydn)、贝多芬(Beethoven)、莫扎特(Mozart)为主流的古典乐派的音乐。
2.country music乡村音乐，是一种具有美国民族特色的音乐。这种音乐曲调简单，节奏平稳，具有叙事性。该类型音乐的代表人物为被许多年轻人追捧的美国小甜妞Taylor Swift。代表曲目Love story和You belong with me。
3.pop music 流行音乐，是广受年轻人追捧的一种音乐类型。代表歌手有台湾的Jay Chou(周杰伦)、香港的Andy Lau(刘德华)、美国的lady gaga等。值得注意的是，许多考生也许并不清楚所有歌手的英文名，在考试中提到这些歌手的时候，往往用的仍然是中文名，这会让考官产生恍惚感，也许很难与考生产生共鸣。所以，在考前做足功课去了解歌星的英文名也是相当有必要的。
4.Rock and Roll摇滚乐。中国摇滚的第一声音为歌手崔健的《一无所有》。不过，如果考生想和考官聊到摇滚乐，建议考生们选择国外的代表性乐团和作品，因为过于中国化的东西并不能和考官产生共鸣。相反，如果聊到Beetles(披头士乐队)的Hey Jude，这首曾出现在伦敦奥运会上的歌的话，效果就会截然不同。
接下来，我们一起来看一道关于“音乐”方面的考题：
Describe a popular music band or a singer inyour country.
You should say:
What it first became popular
What style of music it perform
Who (what kind of people) like this band or singer
And explain why you think they are popular
分析：该话题考察学生描述一个最喜爱的歌手或乐队，该话题与人物类话题交叉，不仅涉及到音乐的内容，在描述歌手的同时，最好也要涉及人物的形象介绍。在教学实践中，曾经有考生提出，在叙述一名歌手时，往往想要提到他的代表曲目，而在考场上又一时想不起来怎么表达歌名，或者比较纠结自己翻译的歌曲名称和官网发布的不一致怎么办?
针对歌名翻译的问题，首先要肯定的是，在考场上用中文描述歌名肯定是行不通的。考生一方面是要在考前针对话题做好充足的准备，如果一时兴起想要表达突发奇想的答案时，也不要慌，尽自己的努力去把歌名用地道的英语翻译一下。即使官方不是这么翻译的也没有关系，因为往往中文歌曲考官本来就了解不多。其实歌名本不重要，重点是歌曲内容及其特色上的语言表达才是与考官产生共鸣的取胜之道。
下面是针对上述考题的范文，供广大考生们参考：
When it comes to a popular singer in mycountry, I’d like to say a few words on a female singer called G.E.M.
Actually, she’s born in Shanghai andimmigrated to Hong Kong when she was 4 years old. She began to compose andcreate songs when she was just 5. At the year of 17, she won the award of “New ForceFemale Singer”. She was the first one who won this prize that under 18.
She attended a TV show called “I am asinger” and won the second place of finals in 2014. At that period of time, shebecame a household name in China. Her musical style is full of change andexcitement. Her songs include soft Rock, rap, lyric, Broadway. Therefore, shewas regarded as an “almighty goddess”. Due to the TV show, lots of young peoplebecome the crazy fan of her. People became familiar with her representative workslike “what have you done”, “The rose”, and “The foam”.
Her excellence in singing field has beenrecognized by the public, I suppose that’s why she’s so popular in China.
3雅思口语怎么描述一名歌手
Describe a popular band or singer in your country
You should say
When it first become popular?
What style of music it perform
Who (what kinds of people) like this band or singer
And explain why you think they are popular
范文：
This band is called “XXXXX” which I think is really popular here in china nowadays. It first came to the people’s sight was in 2008, they released their very first single call “XXXX” and left a deep impression on folks. The dance in this MTV also stirred a trend of mimicking, everybody started to follow their unique hilarious way of dancing and perform it in some informal occasions just for the sake of entertaining others. Their music style is simply just pop and rock and roll, but the feature of it is not the way they sing but the way they dance and the funny lyrics they wrote for each song.
I think it’s mostly the teenagers and young people that follow their music, but the elderly still accept their music widely because they think it will make them happy and think optimistically. Especially for the students, they like to sing and imitate their music in the open shows and even in karaoke.
The reason why I think they are really popular is that they did not only create a unique style of music producing but also lead a trend among people. The spirit they imposed on us is always to be optimistic and think positively, a lot of depressed and frustrated people are encouraged by their music. In one word, they will chase your blue away in a minute.

雅思口语高分范文示例：
The American songwriter, artist, writer and singer, Bob Dylan, whose original name is Robert Allen Zimmerman is a very creative person I know about. I also admire for his creative songwriting and noteworthy songs. He is, in fact, one of the most influential songwriters and singers of all time and I respect him greatly.
He was born in 1941 in the USA and due to his remarkable contributions to literature, he was awarded the Nobel Prize recently. The Nobel Prize for literature is awarded both for lasting literary merit and for evidence of consistent idealism to a great extent. Dylan's songs have such creativity, consistent idealism and universal appeal and without any doubt, he is a very talented and creative person.
He is such a powerful and influential singer that his song like 'The times they are a-changing' and 'Blowing in the wind' became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements.
His creative and dazzling lyrics incorporate a vast range of social, political, psychological, philosophical, and literary influences. As a musician, he has sold more than 10 million records. Besides, he is also a talented painter.
I knew him first when I heard his song 'Slow Train' from his album 'Slow Train Coming' in my early college days. I have explored his music and heard most of the songs sung by him. I have also read several articles online about him and his works. I know him as a revered songwriter and he is one of my favourite singers of all time.
I admire him mostly because of his talent and outstanding contribution to the music, lyrics, and literary works through his songwriting. There were times when his music personally inspired me, motivated me and helped me forget my pain. I have never met him in person but he seems like someone I know for a long and very closely. I respect him as a great musician, admire him as a songwriter and consider him one of the greatest minds of the present era.
