宁波环球教育洪芳老师将在本文中结合实例，对雅思口语口语第一部分常见的对于when提问的过往之事的问题做一些梳理和归纳，并给出相应的答题思路和方法以供说明和参考。
一、When did you start to …?
e.g. When did you start to read?
When did you start to use a computer?
When did you start to learn how to write?
1.思路
When引导的特殊疑问句，需要先回答具体的时间。然后可以阐明开始做这件事的契机并说明当下的具体情况。
2.要点
表达时间的副词和介词短语：about, some, probably, maybe, perhaps, in the 1990s, in the year, in January, in winter, on Sunday(s), on Tuesday morning, on Christmas Day, at six, at noon, at the age of 15, last Sunday, that morning, these years, one day, two days before, three years ago, until last year, since 2010, for five years, by the end of …, by the time…, etc.
3.例句
- When did you start to read?
- Well I"m not sure when I first started reading. Probably I"ve been a reader for as long as I can remember. My mom read to me every night when I was little; I memorized the words that went along with the pictures. Then I was reading picture books completely on my own by the time I was five.
我不太确定从什么时候开始读书，可能是从我可以记事起吧。小时候我妈妈每个晚上都会给我读书，我看着书中的图片记住了文字。之后我到了五岁的时候，就能完全自己阅读图画书了。
二、When was the last time…?
e.g. When was the last time you did some cooking?
When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you gave (or sent) flowers to someone?
1.思路
When引导的特殊疑问句，所问的是最近一次做过某件事，同样需要先回答具体的时间，然后可以阐明开始做这件事的契机并说明当下的具体情况。
2.要点
表达时间的副词和介词短语：about, some, probably, maybe, perhaps, in the 1990s, in the year, in January, in winter, on Sunday(s), on Tuesday morning, on Christmas Day, at six, at noon, at the age of 15, last Sunday, that morning, these years, one day, two days before, three years ago, until last year, since 2010, for five years, by the end of …, by the time…, etc.
3.例句
- When was the last time you did some cooking?
- The last time I cooked was last Mother"s day, about 5 months ago. Besides making dishes, I helped clean the room, for my mother normally does the cooking and most housework in my family. Although I seldom cook, I do have a specialty -- fried crabs with Chinese cake made of sticky rice -- a traditional local dish. It was just scrumptious, and my parents and I all had a great time.
我最后一次做饭是在母亲节的时候，大约五个月前。除了做菜，我还帮忙清扫了房间。平时通常都是我妈妈在家里做饭和大多数家务。尽管我很少做饭，不过我还是有拿手菜的——螃蟹炒年糕——一道传统的当地菜。那顿菜很美味，我的父母和我都过得很愉快。
