4. 儿童与其他人群对比
在雅思口语Part1中,经常出现拿儿童与其他人群进行对比,最常见的一种就是儿童与成人之间的对比。例如以下问题:
Are birthdays more important for children or for adults?
Do children and adults celebrate birthdays the same way?
回答这类问题时,考生应注意运用对比句型,具体可参考朗阁海外考试研究中心在之前“中国类”话题的讲解中的对比句型。
5. 当你是孩子时
大部分人都有童年,但童年的时光大都各不一样。在雅思口语Part1中,这类题目常见的有:
What books did you like when you were a child?
Did you do a lot of hands-on activities in your childhood?
Do you feel that weekends now are more important to you than when you were a child?
When you were a child, which of your relatives do you see most often or spend the most time with?
When you were a child, did you play more with your friends or with your relatives?
What toys did you like to play when you were a child?
Did you prefer to play with those toys alone or with other children?
Did you do a lot of housework when you were a child?
What indoor games did you play when you were a child?
Did you play electronic games when you were a child, why or why not?
Did you go to any museums when you were a child?
What did you do for entertainment when you were a child?
在雅思口语考试中,回忆童年时光是一个重点,而有时考生没有办法在短暂的时间内回忆出自己的童年,这样对整体表现造成了影响。因此,考生在平时应针对回忆类的问题进行思考,这样在考试短暂的时间内,才能从容应对。
6. 你自己的孩子
这种题目主要考查考生的想象能力,常见的有:
Would you send your child to the school you had have been to before?
If you had children, what toys would you give them?
因为这类问题都涉及到对未来情况的讨论,因此考生在回答时,应注意对未来类句型的运用,例如:
(1)I would like to… in the future.
(2)I can’t say it for sure, but maybe in the future, I would like to…
(3)I am not sure, but I think…
(4)I am not sure if I would…
(5)No, …. But if I…, I would like to…
(6)I would if I could.
