PART 3真題解析
　　
第三部分：雙向討論(4～5分鐘)考官與考生圍繞由第二部分引申出來的一些比較抽象的話題進(jìn)行討論。第三部分的話題是對(duì)第二部分提示卡內(nèi)容的深化和拓展。
　　
話題舉例
　　
Competitions in school
　　
1. Why do you think some school teachers use competitions as class activities?
　　
答題技巧：老師們?yōu)槭裁撮_展競爭性的班級(jí)活動(dòng)?描述競爭對(duì)正在校園里學(xué)習(xí)的孩子們的好處。
　　
I think one important responsibility of teachers is to promote the students’ desire to be someone strong and prepare them for the future. Competition never sleeps. This is an awareness without which anyone joining the labour market would not succeed. It's always better to realize the cruelty before the students get shocked in the future.
　　
promote促進(jìn) awareness認(rèn)識(shí)
labour market勞動(dòng)力市場 get shocked被震驚
　　
2. Do you think it is a good thing to give prizes to children who do well at school? Why?
　　
答題技巧：學(xué)校中的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)機(jī)制對(duì)孩子來說是不是件好事?考生可以根據(jù)個(gè)人想法，談?wù)撘幌陋?jiǎng)勵(lì)對(duì)孩子們的利弊。好處可以是成為孩子們的動(dòng)力(motivation)，當(dāng)然壞處也是有的，例如：孩子們會(huì)追求物質(zhì)財(cái)富(chase material possessions)或者思想變得現(xiàn)實(shí)(realistic).
　　
Yes, I do think so. For one thing, people by nature make all their efforts to gain the most pleasure and avoid pain. Children love games and having fun indeed, and they hate study. So if a child achieves something at school, a prize will apparently enhance his or her sense of satisfactory, which has always resulted in constant good performance. For the other, those children who cannot get the prize would feel that they want the same thing. Then prizes become a strong motivator for them.
　　
by nature生性，本性 pain痛苦
apparently顯然地 enhance加強(qiáng)，增強(qiáng)
sense of satisfactory滿足感 constant持續(xù)的
motivator動(dòng)力
　　
3. Would you say that schools for young children have become more or less competitive since you were that age? Why?
　　
答題技巧：現(xiàn)在的學(xué)校是否比我們念書時(shí)變得更加競爭激烈?考生可以通過一些學(xué)校中的實(shí)例來具體說明一下現(xiàn)在的孩子們?cè)趯W(xué)校中面臨的壓力。需要注意的是這里面的“school”指的是小學(xué)、中學(xué)或高中，而不是大學(xué)。
　　
I would say, as far as I know, schools in China have become more competitive. Children in primary schools are requested by their parents and teachers to learn the knowledge for secondary school students, only as a preparation for their future school entrance examination. Once they pass the exam, the vicious circle continues. Secondary school students spend a huge amount of time doing studies much beyond their capability. It was not like this when I was a child. I had more fun and more time to enjoy myself.
　　
primary school小學(xué) secondary school中學(xué)
entrance examination入學(xué)考試 vicious circle惡性循環(huán)
beyond capability超出能力范圍
　　
Sporting competitions
　　
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of intensive training for young sports people?
　　
答題技巧：這里，只要能明白intensive training——大強(qiáng)度訓(xùn)練的含義就比較好回答了。這是正反論證的話題，考生可以分別描述一下優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然，這是和運(yùn)動(dòng)相關(guān)的問題，如果實(shí)在不了解，可以和考官說明自己是個(gè)門外漢(1ayman)，只要觀點(diǎn)充分，一樣是不錯(cuò)的答案。
　　
I'm only a layman in this field, so I'm not so confident of judging whether there's any advantage or disadvantage. I could only answer the question according to my own knowledge. I think if intensive training is necessary for a particular sport, it's better to start early than doing it when someone is not physically qualified anymore. There normally seems to be a short career life for sportspeople, perhaps an early start brings a lengthened career.
　　
layman門外漢 physically qualified身體上
career life職業(yè)生涯 lengthened延長的
　　
2. Some people think that competition leads to a better performance from sports stars. Others think it just makes players feel insecure. What is your opinion?
　　
答題技巧：競爭會(huì)使體育明星表現(xiàn)更好，還是會(huì)使他們沒有安全感?競爭帶來壓力，沒有壓力就沒有動(dòng)力，從這方面看來，我們選擇任何一種觀點(diǎn)都能夠有話可說。
　　
I agree with the latter view. Personally I think laziness is an inborn nature of people, and only could we make progress when there's strong pressure and motivation for success, or even the threat of being punished for being a loser. Competition is a good and effective approach to force one to pursue greater achievement and greater honour.
　　
latter后面的 laziness懶惰
inborn nature天性 loser失敗者
approach途徑，手段
　　
3. Do you think it is possible to become too competitive in sport? In what way?
　　
答題技巧：體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的競爭性是不是可能變得過大?這種題目屬于預(yù)測(cè)類，考生可以有任何的觀點(diǎn)或想法去自由發(fā)揮。
　　
No, never. If we find something very or too competitive, it seems we are either not qualified or even incompetent or there are people who are equally competent or even stronger. I would say it's a good way to motivate people, I mean, to motivate some people, because there are always someone who are incapable of taking responsibility and facing threats. And it's the same for sportspeople in their search for the infinity of humankind.
　　
incompetent無能力的 equally同樣地，同等地
motivate激勵(lì) incapable無能力的
infinity無限 humankind人類
