很多同学在准备雅思口语part1的时候,一遇到抽象的题目就头大,确实这类的问题和日常生活的关系不大,不太好举例子想观点。所以备考时一定要积累素材,试着从不同的角度出发。
下面就以剑桥真题中的age为例,帮同学们分析一下如何破解part1中的抽象话题卡。
Are you happy to be the age you are now?
正反双方可以立足人在人生不同阶段所面临的困难,如果对现状满意,可以谈现阶段的优势以及其他阶段需要面临的一些困难;而如果对现状不满,则可以谈现阶段的一些无法解决和回避的劣势组织答案。以高中生年龄为例:优势——年富力强,身体健康,未来机会多,还有父母照顾。
Yes. Since growth is an irreversible process, I choose to enjoy the moment I am living in. Also, as a young man I am physically potent and psychologically well-prepared for any obstacle. I am content with the current circumstances.
No. The older I get, the more challenges I begin to face. And to my disappointment, I find myself no longer the invincible child who can overcome whatever comes in my way. For me, growth is a road leading to failure and dismay.
When you were a child, did you think a lot about your future?
正反双方可以从「准备/筹划的意义出发」,提前准备的优势可以说有备无患,并且提前做出规划,让自己可以从同辈人中脱颖而出;反方观点可以从「人生中充满了始料不及的挑战和困难」出发,谈准备的徒劳。
Yes, definitely. I was nurtured with a faith that preparation is always a necessity for success. Therefore, I restrained myself from stuff that might get in my way, like computer games and campus romances in order to be as potent as possible to excel my peers in the future.
No, preparation is not my cup of tea. Based on my personal experience, there will always be problems and opportunities that a person have not predicted, which leaves everyone, no matter fully prepared or not, in the same conundrum.
Do you think you have changed as you have got older?
谈随年岁渐长发生变化的好处与坏处,好处可以包括知识的增加、社会经验的增加,有利于未来的生活;而坏处可以站在儿童的优点出发,以及成人世界的阴暗。
Yes. I have been more savvy with people around me, talented or dumb, adorable or despicable, able to find a way to get along with them as well as I can, needless to say the knowledge that I acquire during the years of study. For these, I give credit to time.
Not too much. I do not want to change together with people around me, for which can only trap me in the public mediocrity. Whatever society we are in, I believe elites are always the minor group. Additionally, there has been long-lived argument that children are the perfect form of humanity. Therefore, I work extremely hard in order not to change.
What will be different about your life in the future? [Why?]
从机遇和挑战两个角度来思考。紧接上题提到的语言点,有知识和经验的增加,同时随着人进入新的年龄段,也会面临新的困难。
I think more knowledge, knowledge of all kinds, will be learnt in the years to come so I may become more than equal to task of daily life. However, there are also endless challenges waiting ahead. And my parents are getting older. It is time for me to shoulder the burden for myself. Life will be kind of harder in this way.
