| 本次考试考题精选范例解析： | What do you think makes people feel happy? Analysis: 此问题主要是让考生回答自己对幸福的定义，但本题我建议考生可以先将people分类来说，之后加上不同类型人的例子即可。 Sample Answer: Well, people definitely feel happy due to all various reasons. Some people feel happy when they get promoted at work. Others gain happiness when they watch a good film. There are even people who are happy simply because of a beautiful sunset or the twittering of birds. As long as you can find a way to be happy, it doesn't really matter what the reason is. Do you think money plays an important part in people's happiness? Analysis: 这个问题主要考察的是考生对幸福的认识，考生可以从金钱本质的做用入手，阐述金钱能带给人们的东西。 Sample Answer: No, I don't think it is the key to happiness. All money can do is to give you more opportunities to enjoy material items, entertainment, and ease the burden that relates to stress and bills. Would you say you are happy? Analysis: 该题要求考生自己对幸福给出属于自己的定义，快乐与否取决于你对幸福的定义，最后找到与定义契合的例子即可。 Sample Answer: Yes. All my families are happy and they are not in trouble. There is neither hardship nor suffering I can't get over. Also, I have life goals and I am working on it right now. |
| 雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导： | 口语考题的问法越来越广泛。过去第三部分虽然问题较难，但是还总算与我们的生活息息相关，所以对于考生来说，还是有素材的。然而，现在越来越多的新的第三部分题目涌现出来，但是有明显变难的趋势。虽然Part 3算不上一场真正的“讨论”，因为基本上只有考生在回答问题，但是考官还是努力地营造出discussion的气氛，比如会针对一个topic提问几个相关问题，并且根据你的回答有针对性地提出新的问题等。其实，了解到Part 3具备discussion的特点，对考试是很有帮助的。例如，在discussion中，当你被问到一个比较有挑战性的问题而不确定答案时，保持沉默是不对的，因为会使对方觉得你因为不满或生气而不愿谈论这个话题。所以我们当然也不应该在考试时这么做。朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师对此给出如下建议：首先，可以使用一些表达为难的句型，比如“oh，that’s a difficult question to answer, you sure seem to know how to ask hard questions!”来赢得思考时间。其次，你完全可以尝试用猜测的方式来回答问题，例如“I’ve no idea, but if I were..., I would probably...” 因为这在discussion中是完全可行的。 |
