雅思口語Part 3的難度本身就是三個(gè)部分中最難的一個(gè),考官一般會(huì)就考生第二部分的回答進(jìn)行深入提問。既然叫深入提問,那當(dāng)然就會(huì)是一些相對(duì)而言比較深?yuàn)W的考題。這些考題對(duì)于考生的知識(shí)面和思維能力都有一定的要求,更為讓考生頭痛的是,本來用中文來進(jìn)行深入的探討以屬不易,更何況還要用英文來表述這些有深度的思想!所以考生通常談第三部分而色變,有人甚至對(duì)第三部分都不去做任何的復(fù)習(xí),只一味聽天由命。但是第三部分的考題是一個(gè)考生真正能夠拿高分的關(guān)鍵,對(duì)于那些要分較高,希望能夠進(jìn)入一些排名較好的大學(xué)的考生而言,第三部分的考題才是讓自己脫穎而出的關(guān)鍵。

雅思第三部分的考題,從出題類型上來看有十個(gè)類型:原因論述、情況對(duì)比、時(shí)間對(duì)比、事物利弊、預(yù)測(cè)未來、場(chǎng)景演練、解決問題、影響效果、方式方法、觀點(diǎn)詢問。這十類考題的難度都不可小覷,每一個(gè)類型都代表著一種回答思路,也對(duì)應(yīng)著一些相應(yīng)的句型。所以,在這里,朗閣海外考試研究中心的專家將和大家一起來探討一下雅思第三部分的考題,并以十道最難考題為例,來給大家做一下分析。

1. 原因論述類考題:

在回答這種類型的考題時(shí),我們要首先搞清問題的重點(diǎn),且一定要緊扣此重點(diǎn),不能游離出去。而且我們可以將考題的中心名詞進(jìn)行分類,從細(xì)分出的小類別出發(fā)去探尋原因,這樣,思路就能更加開闊,更能做到有話可說。比如下面這道題:

What is the reason why family members do not eat together anymore?

在這一題中,中心考點(diǎn)名詞是family members,那么我們就可以對(duì)其做一個(gè)breakdown,家庭成員分孩子,成年人和老人,他們都會(huì)有自己身不由己,無法和家人共同進(jìn)餐的不同原因,至此,考題就可從不同層次得到解答。那么在論述的過程中就一定會(huì)非常高頻的出現(xiàn)一些因果的表達(dá)法,如because, due to, owing to, the reason why…is that…, contribute to, lead to, give rise to, be attributed to, result from等。

{原創(chuàng)范例}? One primary reason why families do not eat together anymore is that their work schedules are different from each other. Young people would prefer to spend more time with their friends so they come home very late at night. This is because when they were small, their parents spent most of their time working that they have no time to be with their kids to guide them. Differences in opinions and characters plus financial difficulties often are the causes of fights among husbands and wives.

2. 情況對(duì)比類考題:

應(yīng)對(duì)這種考題,建議考生首先要找出所對(duì)比的兩者是什么,隨即對(duì)兩者的劣勢(shì)和優(yōu)勢(shì)進(jìn)行討論,這類題目說穿了就是對(duì)于正反兩面的討論。因此,經(jīng)常用到的詞就有advantages, benefits, merits, upsides, plus points, disadvantages, drawbacks, downsides, minus points等。下面這道考題就是一個(gè)很好的例子。

Should women stay at home or go out to look for jobs?

{原創(chuàng)范例} Women deserve as much rights to work as men. Given growing financial burden on an ordinary family and tough competition among job seekers, an extra source of income in the family would definitely mean a lot. However, contrary to what we may expect, many women now are actually pursuing the kind of life as a full-time housewife which only has been re-interpreted by modern women to mean relaxing, hassle-free and enjoyable life without lots of work in hand.

3. 時(shí)間對(duì)比

有些考題要求考生就一個(gè)問題的過去和現(xiàn)在分別進(jìn)行論述并進(jìn)行比較,這類題目就是時(shí)間對(duì)比類考題。對(duì)于這類考題,考生首先要注意在談?wù)撨^去的狀況時(shí)要使用一般過去時(shí),千萬不能出現(xiàn)時(shí)態(tài)使用混亂的狀況。此外,考生還需要將重點(diǎn)放在變化上。且通常過去和現(xiàn)在的狀況反差較為強(qiáng)烈,所以需要使用轉(zhuǎn)折連接詞,如however, nevertheless, while, whereas等。比如下面這道考題曾經(jīng)就難倒過一大批的考生:

Explain different attitudes towards marriage between people in the past and now

{原創(chuàng)范例} Well, this is also the kind of problem I am going to deal with probably for a couple of years to come. In the past, people, women in particular, generally revolved their life around giving birth and raising children. However people now are no longer seeing marriage and family as their only thing in life. With the availability of a wide range of entertainment parlors, young people prefer to enjoy their carefree life as a single person before they have to take a lot of responsibilities as a married one.
