Part one回答策略講解

一、Question type 1:

"Basic description" questions

Tell me about your hometown.
低分回答：
"I come from Beijing. I am native of this city. Beijing is the capital of china. In Beijing there are many historical buildings. Beijing duck is very famous-- I always eat it with my friends."

原因：該答案的問(wèn)題在于盡管它“回答”了問(wèn)題，但考生沒(méi)能向考官展示自己的語(yǔ)言敘述能力。敘述應(yīng)包含詳盡、準(zhǔn)確的信息，而且論點(diǎn)需以某種方式展開(kāi)論述。答案也沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)任何本土英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的風(fēng)格。
* 答案簡(jiǎn)短、直接
* 不包含任何連接詞或短語(yǔ)
* 回答不包含任何冗詞
* 沒(méi)有非常用詞匯
* 沒(méi)有習(xí)語(yǔ)
* 語(yǔ)法正確但均為基本語(yǔ)法
* 沒(méi)有復(fù)雜句子結(jié)構(gòu)
* 缺乏時(shí)態(tài)變換

高分范例：
“Well as you can probably guessI come from Beijing and I have lived here all my life, although at the moment I’m studying in another city- Tianjin. I suppose if I had to describe Beijing,the first thing I would sayis that it’s absolutely enormous, maybe even one of the biggest cities in Asia I guess. It‘s so big in fact that even the locals have problems finding their way around. Another significant characteristicis that it offers examples of both classical and contemporary architecture. Actually some of the China’s most renowned landmarks are “slap bang” in the middle of Beijing.“(正好坐落在…..的中心)

練習(xí)：
Tell me about your school
Tell me about your major
Tell me about your work
Tell me about your future plan

 

二、Question type 2: "liking" questions

問(wèn)題：do you like animals?

低分回答：
"Yes, I like animals. I like cats and dogs because they are very lovely. "
“我喜歡”或“我不喜歡”之類的回答都不能展示考生能巧妙靈活地表達(dá)喜惡的能力.應(yīng)避免重復(fù)

回答這類問(wèn)題時(shí)，首先應(yīng)找出能代替“liking”的其他措辭。以下的表達(dá)可用于所有一般性話題：
I’m fairly/ pretty keen on…
I’m really into…
I’m quite a big fan of…
I simply adore…
I’m quite enthusiastic about…
I generally prefer…(use only when comparing)
I’m quite/ pretty fond of…
I’m totally mad about…
I’m quite partial to…
I’m quite passionate about…

高分范例:

Well to be quite honest,in general I would say that I’m actually quitekeen onanimals, but in particular I would probably have to say that I’m really into domestic pets like dogs. I guess the reason why I’m a fan of dogs is because I adore their loyalty and companionship. In addition to dogs I suppose I’m also pretty passionate about endangered species, especially dolphins and things like that and this is due to the fact I feel some degree of responsibility towards wildlife protection.
練習(xí)：
Do you like reading newspaper?
Do you like travelling?
Do you like reading books?
Do you like going to the street market?
Do you like watching advertisement?

 

三、Question type 3: "disliking" questions

“嫌惡”的問(wèn)題都可用“喜歡”類問(wèn)題的回答方式的否定形式來(lái)作答，如：
vI’m not so keen on…
I’m not much of a fan of…
vI’m not really that fond of…
表達(dá)強(qiáng)烈的“嫌惡”可以用以下表達(dá)：
vI totally detest…
vI really can’t stand…
vI absolutely loathe…

Is there anything you don’t like about your hometown?

Of course I think I’d have to say that I’m not so keen on the weather. To be more precise, I really can’t stand the summer months. This is due to the fact that the temperatures can get as high as 40 degrees so it can be quite uncomfortable if you don’t have air conditioning in your house.In addition to this, I’m not really that fond of the public transport system. And I guess this is probably because the buses are too old and the seats are really hard, so long journeys are usually pretty bumpy.

練習(xí)：
Is there anything you dislike your major?

 

四、Question type 4: "types of" questions

問(wèn)題：
Tell me about the different types of transport in your city.

低分回答：In my city there are many types of public transport, for example, buses, taxis, motorcycle taxis, trains, planes, ferries and mini-buses.
高分范例：

Of course it goes without saying thatthere is quite a mixed variety of public transport in my city. Though I thinkthe most commonly-used would potentially be buses.And the explanation for this would be that they are so cheap and reliable. In fact the average bus fare in my city is about one Yuan for a single journey. As well as buses, a second variety of public transport would be something like taxis. And one exceptional aspect with taxis is that they are certainly the quickest way to get around town. So if you’re in a hurry then taxis are the best bet (= the best choice). Likewise, as might be expected, there’s things like ferries, motorcycle taxis and trains, although these are not as widely-used as the first two that I mentioned.
練習(xí)：
Tell me different types of music
What kinds of sports do you like?
What types of books do you like to read?
 

五、Question type 5: "Wh-/ how often" questions

問(wèn)題：
How often do you go to the cinema?
At what time of a day do you usually read?
低分回答：may be once a week.
In the evenings before I sleep.
原因：直接給出側(cè)重于信息的回答，這類回答是不大可能獲得高分的�；卮疬@類問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵是要以兩三種不同的答案作答。
答案的關(guān)鍵是"it depends" 結(jié)構(gòu)，用它引出“情形對(duì)比”使考生能運(yùn)用對(duì)比性語(yǔ)言（連接性詞語(yǔ)）。

高分范例：
Well to be honest, I think I would have to say thatit really depends. Like for instance,if I have the money, then it's quite possible that I will watch a movie in the cinema, two or three times a month. You know cinema tickets are pretty pricey in China.Whereas in contrast, if I am broke, it’s more likely that I’ll watch movies at home on DVD; you probably know that DVDs are quite cheap here, especially compared to the price of a cinema ticket.
How often do you play sports?
How often do you go shopping?

 

六、Question type 6: "yes/ no" questions

問(wèn)題：is healthy eating important?
低分回答：yes, healthy eating is important, because…

原因：對(duì)于這類提問(wèn)，回答問(wèn)題出在直接用“是”或者“不是”來(lái)回答，再輔以細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行解釋。這并不錯(cuò)，但其語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單，往往缺少重要的連接性短語(yǔ)。如果這樣回答，考生就把回答局限在一個(gè)比較基本的結(jié)構(gòu)上了。

高分范例：
Well in actual fact,if I think about it, I guess that in many ways it’s fairly important, especially when you consider that a healthy diet can help to prevent a variety of diseases and health problems such as diabetes and obesity. But you also have to understand that eating unhealthy food in moderation is not overly harmful. In fact unhealthy food is often tastier than healthy food so I guess it’s fine to eat a little junk food now and then.

七、Question type 7: "would" questions
問(wèn)題：
Would you like to move to another city?
低分回答：
No I wouldn’t like to move to another city, because if I lived in another city, I wouldn’t have any friends.

原因：考官問(wèn)此類問(wèn)題時(shí)，他或她會(huì)非常認(rèn)真地傾聽(tīng)考生回答中的某一方面。這類問(wèn)題中的語(yǔ)法這個(gè)方面非常重要。基本原則就是，問(wèn)題中若出現(xiàn)“would”,考生至少得在答案中也用一次“would”（或者是might/could）。
對(duì)于大多數(shù)這類問(wèn)題，考生應(yīng)該用條件句時(shí)態(tài)來(lái)回答。條件句時(shí)態(tài)用以談?wù)摤F(xiàn)在或?qū)��?lái)時(shí)間發(fā)生的事，描述一件不可能的（虛擬的）事情。條件句時(shí)態(tài)的格式為：

If + past simple, would/ could/ might + infinitive verb.
If I had time, I would go for travelling

高分范例：
Actually, this isn’t something that I’ve never considered, but in short I suppose I would possibly consider moving cities, especiallyif I had the chance to move to a coastal city like Xiamen or Sanya.If I lived in a seaside city I would be able to hang out on the beach every day and I would also have the opportunity to get into water sports like scuba diving and possibly surfing.
八、分寸類話題

Do you think that spending too much money holding party is good or bad?
低分答案：
I do not think it is good, because it wastes money. Instead you can use the same amount of money to do some meaningful things.

低分的原因：
回答的結(jié)構(gòu)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單，沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)出學(xué)生的critical thinking和analytical thinking

策略一：
I think it really depends.
If you are loadedwhich means you can live large and drive a fancy car, then you can splash out one everything, let alone holding parties. However, if you live on a budget or live little more than bread and butter, you should not do that.

策略二：
As an old saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. So people should do everything in moderation, spending money is no exception.
