雅思口語答題思路講解
說起雅思口語真的是同學們心中的痛，爲什麼感覺自己回答的不錯，但是成績還是不理想呢?很有可能是回答的思路或方向不對。今天要給大家帶來的就是雅思口語答題思路，一起來看看面對這些話題，我們應該如何回答。
1、攢錢
Save money
Have you ever saved money for something?
Do you save money now?
How do you save money?
Do you think saving money is very important?
Do you think parents should teach children to save money?
Do parents give children pocket money in China?
回答第一問時, 重點必然不在於something，不論你攢錢買的是iPhone, iPad, 還是娃娃，都不是考官所關心的。而關鍵在於回答的時態，是學生們往往忽略掉的。比如問你曾經是否攢錢買過東西?買這個東西本身應該是過去時，那麼請問“我前年攢了一年的錢，然後我去年買了個包”這個攢錢的過程應該是什麼時態?
沒錯，過去完成時的使用也是很多學生在瞬間很難反應出來的。
you should say: “ Yes, of course. i remember that i had saved my pocket money for ages, then i bought it last years ....”
對於第二個問題是否喜歡攢錢，我們也完全可以說一些 (white lies) because you don’t have to tell the truth, 不必說“我從來不攢錢，because i am very very rich, hahahahaha....” 其實這一問的核心在於How? 我們應該儘量從這個角度出發去展開，但請大家的理由應該務必合理，之前就有學生編出“從來不吃飯，爲了攢錢，走路不坐公交車，爲了攢錢，即使坐公交車也投假幣，爲了攢錢。”
其實理由很多甚至完全可以延伸到自己擅長的領域，比如擅長cooking的話題，可以說“i'd like to save money by cooking at home and eating food at home instead of eating out...”
2、地圖
Map
Do you often use map?
Who taught you how to use a map?
Do you prefer electronic maps or paper maps?
對於地圖這個話題，其實在幾年前就已經出現在雅思口語考試中了，建議大家紙質和電子地圖的優點都準備一些，以防萬一。
被考官問道“why do many people in China like to use another one?”對於這個話題可以說的點非常多，不要僅僅給出一個評價性的詞彙“useful or convenient”,如電子地圖的實時性“being updated all the time”和導航出最優路線“preferred route”。至於紙質地圖大家也儘量回到生活中brainstorming一下，在旅遊中手機low battery,no signal的時候是不是我們全靠紙質地圖。
除此之外，讓我更懷念曾經在留學期間旅遊時，手機還沒那麼發達，Google map也沒那麼普遍，往往是一個人開車一個人看地圖，難免會make mistakes，按理說這本應該是個缺點，但每一次的走錯都會發現一個意外的地方，一場意外的驚喜(a serendipitous discovery)。
3、詞典
dictionary
Do you ofen use a dictionary?
Do you prefer to use an electronic dictionary or a dictionary made of paper?
If someone gave you a dictionary as a gift,how would you feel?
Do you think it would be interesting to write a dictionary?
Do you think it would be interesting to be part of a team that is writing a dictionary?
What kind of person do you think writes a dictionary?
詞典話題的答題思路和地圖有很多相似點，比如紙質詞典和電子詞典的比較，同樣我們不要用套路式的一句電子詞典非常convenient,i use it every day.來草草了事，儘量可以展開和細化使用的過程。
比如“when i come across a word that i can't figure out,all i need to do is just click on the app,and type in the word i wish to look up…”
另外關於編寫詞典的人的問題，最好的參考資料就是我們雅思劍橋真題中那篇閱讀文章《Johnson's dictionary》。
4、睡覺
Sleep
How many hours a day do you sleep?
Do you often go to sleep quite late?
Did you often go to bed very late when you were a child?
Do you think sleeping is important?
當很多同學聽到睡覺這個話題時感覺除了時間以外沒什麼說的， 首先考官不是您的太醫，不想知道到底幾個小時，也不需要把什麼insomnia這種疾病詞彙往上招呼，更重要的是積累一些與睡眠相關的口語表達 “stay up so late, stay overnight” 並且適當擴充熬夜的原因，不要來不來就“我每天都熬夜學習，而且學的還是雅思...” 這麼正能量的答案也不一定就能打動考官。
每天躺在牀上我們有時可能會來回翻滾，應該叫輾轉反側 toss and turn for quite a while, 或者聽一些 light music 或者敷一個面膜(mask)來幫助睡眠，這都是很好的答案和思路。
5、無聊
Being bored
What will you do when you feel bored?
When you were young,What would you do if you felt bored?
What kinds of things are boring to you?
Do you think young people get bored easily?
可能是因爲咱們大陸的考生之前太喜歡回答“i don't like my subject,music,film,sport…because they are通通boring”,今年特意來了一個Being bored的話題給大家。
首先注意less common words的替換，如“rather dull,monotonous,mind -numbing TV shows”都體現詞彙的多樣性。並且對於“what would you do if you felt bored”我們也可以儘量轉化到自己擅長的領域來回答，比如“i find shopping very therapeutic”“when i am getting bored,there is nothing like karaoke therapy”,還有包括“i prefer to have a more relaxing time on the…”
6、明星
Celebrity
Who is your favourite celebrity in China?
Would you like to be a celebrity in the future?
In general, how do people become famous?
Do you think, to be famous, a person needs to have some special talent or ability?
Do you think we should protect famous people’s privacy?
其實對於明星類的話題，同學們應該相對來說不是很陌生了。
不論明星的優點還是缺點，都儘量去解釋細節化的原因，比如“想當明星因爲他們rich, 那就要繼續解釋rich的原因可能是因爲做了很多代言廣告endorsement….”
反之，我們也儘量結合更多平時聽到看到的真實的點來答，切忌不要現場瞎編，這種主動去思考觀點的能力一直就是咱們學生的弱項，比如當明星的缺點，十個人有九個都會說no privacy, 然後就沒有然後了，我們應該儘量去呈現“privacy”裏面和背後的東西。比如明星經常被各種事吐槽being criticised all the time, 長得好看被罵整容cosmetic surgery, 衣冠不整being worst dressed 也會被抓拍。
7、手錶
How often do you wear a watch?
What was your first watch like?
What kinds of watches do you like to wear?
Do people still wear watches in your country?
找一款能買的起的還好讀的Apple watch, 而且功能多樣it has various uses, it functions as a phone so you can make call and txt people。
最厲害的是還可以在健身房fitness suite裏測身體耗能情況 “when i do cardio exercises, i can use it to keep track of how many calories i burn and how many steps i run”。
8、運動
Sports
Do you play any sport?
Do you like to watch sports on TV?
Do you have a favourite sports star?
What kinds of sports are popular in your country?
What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future?
運動類的話題已經是老生常談了，在回答的時候我們可以從多個層次來說。
第一是運動的種類，如team sport, individual sport, water sport, X-sport, 雖然最後一種在國內不是非常的火，但是愛看Youtube的小夥伴們一定知道，國外很多極限運動愛好者an adrenalin junky(其中的adrenalin是腎上腺素的意思，在這裏這個表達是一個習語，形容喜歡刺激活動的人)。
第二是運動對身體的外在的好處，細化來說比如塑形keep fit, 減掉小肚子lose my flabby belly, 練肌肉builds up muscles。
第三是運動對身體內在的好處，如加快新陳代謝speed up metabolism, 增強免疫力improves immune system 等。
9、課餘時間
Spare time
What do you usually do in your spare time?
Do you like to spend time with your family or friends?
What do you and your family like to do in free time?
這種話題屬於開放性問題，沒有太強的限定性，自由度很高，大家注意保持串聯，比如和音樂類、運動類、購物類話題都可以串聯。
10、外國食品
Food/Foreign Food
Have you ever tried foreign food?
Do you like to try new food?
What kinds of new food have you tried recently?
What kinds of foreign food are popular in your country?
Do you think old people like foreign food? Why?
既然要出國，除了學語言，相應的文化尤其是飲食文化我們還是需要知道一些的，你可以不愛吃但是不能不懂。
很多人都鍾愛意大利麪(不是Italian noodle)，但不知道有沒有注意它的不同口味：
意大利肉醬面 Spaghetti Bolognese
千層麪Lasagna Bolognese
奶油培根意麪Spaghetti carbonara
西班牙海鮮飯Paella
