在第三部分中，考官提问题的角度大致可分为以下四个类型。每个问题下面都给出了一位考生的回答供参考。这些回答都是高分回答，无论是在思路还是语法、词汇方面，都有值得学习之处。请认真学习和练习，切忌全段背诵!
角度一：社会和商业趋势：过去、现在和将来(Social andBusiness Trends: Current or Past Situation, Predictions Aboutthe Future)
考官：You said that a lot of people have migrated to cities in China over the last two decades. Willthis trend continue in the future or will people start to move back to the countryside? (你提到在过去的二十年中，中国有很多人迁移到了城市。请问这种趋势将来会持续下去还是人们会开始迁回农村?)
考生：Well, I am no expert in urban planning or demographics or anything, but I can’t see whythis trend will stop. I mean, all over the world, countries are becoming more urbanized, I guessbecause there are more opportunities in the cities, and resources are concentrated there. Takeeducation, for example, which is very important to Chinese people. The educational opportunitiesare much better in the cities than in the countryside. So I think people from the countryside willcontinue to migrate to the cities in China. Basically, they are in pursuit of a better life, and theyassociate better living with being in a city.
考官：These days more and more Chinese students are going overseas to study. What are thereasons for this trend? Will it continue in the future? (如今有越来越多的中国学生去海外留学。这一趋势的原因是什么?未来还会继续下去吗?)
考生：Well, I think there is a general perception among Chinese students that universities in theWest are often better places to study. The educational methods are different. They leave morespace for creativity and personal responsibility. And of course students in foreign countries get afantastic opportunity to improve their English. As for the future, well, I think this trend is going tocontinue for quite a while… It’s such an eye-opening experience for students to live abroad for afew years.
考官：You said that advertising is present everywhere in China. Do you think this situation willchange in the future? (你提到中国现在铺天盖地都是广告。你认为这种情况将来会改变吗?)
考生：I guess it is possible that it could change because last year, for example, the Governmentbanned advertising from soap operas on tv at certain times. But I’m not really sure that it willchange much. I think modern technology makes it much easier for advertisers to target people:you get SMS messages on your phone, people ring you at home, and there are billboardseverywhere, even electronic ones in the subway, so it is really hard to get away from advertising. Ithink it is increasing, in fact.
考官：With the rise of e-books, do you think that paper books will eventually disappear? (随着电子书的兴起，你认为纸质书会逐渐消失吗?)
考生：I suppose one day they will but it will take a while! Lots of people I know, and not just oldpeople, really like to handle a real book, I mean a book made out of paper. They find it moresatisfying in some way. They like holding a book in their hands when they are reading in bed. But Iguess e-books are definitely the future. Already so many people read on iPads and stuff like that, oron their phones, so I guess if we look fifty years from now, there will be very few people readingbooks, and they will all use some kind of electronic gadget.
