【雅思培训-口语】2015年6-8月雅思口语考试第三部分难题讲解

随着5月换题季的度过，雅思口语2015年第二季题库也趋于稳定。针对第一第二部分的机经和预测随处可见，但是作为考试最为困难的第三部分却很少有具体的讲解。

笔者在这里根据学生和网上烤鸭们的反馈，整理收集了一些最近常考的一些第三部分的问题，给大家一些通用的思路和答题结构，希望大家可以举一反三，顺利完成第三部分的答题。

Q1: How would local culture influence language learning?

对应话题卡：描述一个外语说的很好的人

分析：雅思口语考试的核心不在于给出的观点对错，或者有多深入，而是你能否流畅地连续不断地表达一个观点，叙述一个例子或者理由。

因此遇到这类非常高大上的，抽象的题，大家不妨从身边的小事入手，先用一些例子去铺垫，而不要急于去找寻一些抽象的理论性论证。我们首先把这些抽象的概念给具体化：

Local culture - value, custom, lifestyle, the way we talk, food, clothes, people’s relationships

Language learning - speak, read, write, listen, communication

于是可以具体化，形象化的举出很多例子，以中国为例，中国文化中推崇谦虚、谨慎，因此见面都很少说类似how are you doing这样的招呼寒暄语，也很少主动去和陌生人搭讪，用到自我介绍的场合更是少之又少，因此在学习英语口语和英语会话的时候，就会遇到很多困难。

总之，遇到这些抽象题，尽量先把抽象问题具体化，然后用最简单的具体的例子去铺展，而不要去找寻抽象的观点并且痛苦地去论证。

示例：I do find local culture would have a strong influence on language learning.（第一步，呼应主题）

Take Chinese people learning how to communicate in English for example, in our culture we tend to ..., （例子展开）so we seldom say something like “How are you doing” to each other.

Therefore we might find a bit difficult to learn those greeting language and use them in English, simply because we don’t even say these stuffs in our daily life.

Q2: Gender inequality is still a very common phenomenon. Will this situation change in the future?

对应话题卡：描述一段愉快的童年家庭记忆

分析：性别平等，性别其实问题，比起上一道语言文化题，这个主题显得更为前沿甚至敏感。阅读量和社会阅历普通的高中生，哪怕大学生，几乎没太多的经验，更别提观点。那遇到这样的问题如何处理呢？笔者建议大家用片面深刻的方法去回答，尽可能体现自己语言逻辑的清晰性。另外和第一题一样，还是要把问题铺展开，说细节，举例子。

Gender inequality - job, role in a family, sport, labor work, manager

可以从以上很多角度入手，就业平等，家庭中男女扮演的不同角色，擅长的运动、体力劳动，甚至当今社会大多数的领导层，总统，党派领导人都是以男性为主等等，这都是很具体的一些方面。

示例：To be honest, I don’t think this situation will change too much in the future.（片面深刻）The reason is that we have a systematic prejudice about what men should do and what women should do for a long time, and this prejudice is difficult to change in a short time.（给理由）

（举例1）For instance, when talking about the role in family, ...

（举例2）Also, when you are looking for a job, ...

（让步）Though in recent years, things seem to change a little bit, such as, ...

（结尾）Still I’m not optimistic about the future.

Q3: At what legal age do people get married in your country?

对应话题卡：描述你最想回到的一段过去时光

分析：结婚法定年龄，除非读过《婚姻法》原文，不然我想大多数人都是不知道确切数字的，只知道大约20来岁。笔者同样如此。

因此这道题目是雅思口语中经典的所谓“数字题”，表面上看求一个具体的数字，数据，但实际上考官想听的是你对于这个问题的一些延展性评论，千万不能说我不知道，或者仅仅给出一个数字。你可以从男女差异，结婚，购房，工作，大学毕业等等相关的话题入手做一定展开。

示例：I’m not sure, probably it is like, urm, 22 or 23 years old, I guess.（表不确定性）

But the thing is that I always find these days people tend to get married after 30 years old. It’s quite common. Maybe they want to establish their career first, and then thinking about forming a family.（展开1）

As far as I now, in some rural areas, people tend to get married as soon as they reached the legal age, as it is a tradition. After all, it is just a personal choice, I think.（展开2）

Q4: Some celebrities do not behave themselves, and tend to have a negative influence on the society. Why do you think is the reason for this?

对应话题卡：描述一个你喜欢的名人

分析：本题考察一些批判性思维，也就是说没必要崇拜名人，名人也会犯错，也会行为不检，那请问背后的原因是什么呢？其实分析一个人性格品性可以从以下方面入手，家庭family，教育education，社交圈social group，以及内心性格character，甚至工作压力working pressure，比如明星吸毒声称自己压力大等等。

另外也可以从普通人的心理来分析，因为我们对于明星预期和期待太高over expect，因此每每他们有些负面新闻，我们往往极端惊讶，但其实他们也是普通人，也会犯错。

你还可以添加评论，说我认为公众人物必须注意自己的言行，因为会对其他人，尤其青少年产生巨大影响。

示例：Well, in my opinion, there are several reason why celebrities don’t behave themselves.

To start with, some famous people haven’t received a good education Though they might be famous on their particular areas, they cannot tell the difference between right and wrong. （给观点）Like some sports star, I always hear the news that they involve themselves in some fighting in a bar, gambling, taking drugs or something like that.（举例子）

Apart from that, I also want to point out that, we sometimes over expect the celebrities’ behavior. After all, most of them are still normal guys, and normal people might make mistakes, even commit some serious crimes. Famous people are not saint people. There is no reason to anticipate that they are the role or model of the society.（给第二个理由）

What I mean is, part of the problem is about them, but we also cannot over expect and regard them as idols.

Q5: Do you think people who give help to others should get paid?

对应话题卡：描述一个帮助陌生人的经历

分析：帮助陌生人是否应该得到报酬，双方面都可以切入分析。首先，支持得到报酬的，可以指出，支付报酬是对于帮助者的一种尊重，另外，客观上确实耽误了帮助者的精力和时间，而当今社会任何东西都是有价值的，你应当给予补偿，compensation。最后，给予一定的补偿也可以间接鼓励更多的人去实施帮助。

但反过来说，物极必反，有些人救助别人的前提是必须获得酬劳，反之得不到报酬就不予以施救，所谓趁人之危，这样的例子很多，比如下雪天有人提出帮助陷在雪中的车主推车，但是提出要100元酬劳等等。

示例：In fact, that is a very controversial issue.（本题采用正反都发表观点的“模糊”答题法）

On the one hand, for those people who help you, they might sacrifice their own time, money, even risk their life, for instance, save you when you get flooded in the water. So it is reasonable to give them a certain compensation as a way to show your respect and thankfulness.（先说第一个方面）

However, the problem is that, if we focus too much on getting paid, some people might use this opportunity to make money. Like, before they give you help, they will ask for money at first. That really betray the true meaning of helping.（转折，提出物极必反的观点）

Anyway, my point is, giving certain amount of compensation is reasonable, but we cannot only focus on the money, and we still need help others regardless of any economical profits.（总结）
