光华启迪英语组-薛老师
让抽象的观点具体化,证明你所言非虚,同时自然增加回答长度和丰富度。
常用表达:
问题:Do you like to watch films?
回答1 (使用like + N):
Yeah, I'm really into psychological thrillers, like anything by Christopher Nolan. You know, the ones that really make you think afterwards.
(逻辑:直接回答 → 举例具体类型和导演 → 补充感受)
展现你思维的全面性,不绝对化,使回答更显成熟和客观。
常用表达:
问题:Do you prefer busy or quiet places?
回答1 (使用Having said that):
Well, it really depends on my mood. Generally, I'd say I prefer bustling places like cafes because I feed off the energy. Having said that, if I've had a really hectic day, there's nothing better than just finding a peaceful spot to read a book.
(逻辑:表明情况复杂 → 给出一般偏好及原因 → 转折给出相反情况下的偏好)
解释一个概念或你个人的理解,展示你用英语解释事物的能力。
常用表达:
问题:What do you think makes a good friend?
回答1 (使用For me, it's all about):
Oh, that's interesting. For me, it's all about reliability. You know, someone who's there for you through thick and thin. I mean, it's not just about having fun; it's about being a dependable person.
(逻辑:缓冲思考 → 给出核心定义 → 用you know拉近距离 → 用I mean进一步阐释)
这是最强大的策略。一个微型故事(2-3句)能瞬间让你的回答生动、难忘、充满个人色彩,极大提升流利度和连贯性得分。
关键要素:
时间/地点 + 人物 + 事件 + 感受/结果 (Spoken Version: I remember once... + It was... + I felt...)
问题:Do you like going to museums?
回答1 (讲述一次正面经历):
Actually, yes! I remember once I went to a history museum in London and they had this amazing interactive exhibit. I spent hours in there and it just blew my mind how much I learned without even trying. So since then, I've been kind of hooked.
(逻辑:直接肯定 → 引出具体故事 (时间地点) → 描述事件和感受 → 说明对现在的持续影响)
问题:Do you like cooking?
回答A (侧重举例):
Yeah, I'm quite keen on it actually, especially making Italian food. For instance, I love trying to make my own pasta sauce from scratch. There's something really satisfying about getting all the ingredients just right.
回答B (侧重对比):
It depends! I really enjoy cooking for others – you know, having friends over for a big dinner. But on the other hand, cooking for myself after a long day feels like a bit of a chore. So I guess for me, it's more about the social side.
回答C (侧重下定义):
For me, cooking isn't just about eating; it's basically a form of therapy. I mean, I find chopping vegetables and focusing on a recipe super relaxing. It's my way to de-stress and unwind.
回答D (侧重讲故事):
I do now, but I used to be terrible! I'll never forget the first time I tried to bake a cake. I somehow mistook salt for sugar – it was a complete disaster! But that's how you learn, I suppose. Nowadays, I'm much more confident in the kitchen.
核心策略:绝对不要只说是或不是! 你的模式应该是:直接回答 + 原因/细节/举例/对比。
常用开头:
问题: Do you like swimming?
Actually, yes, I'm really into it. I find it's a great full-body workout, you know, and it's so refreshing especially in the summer. Plus, it's one of the few sports that's actually kind of relaxing.
问题: Is there a lot of traffic in your hometown?
Oh, for sure. I tell you what, the rush hour traffic is an absolute nightmare. It's basically at a standstill between 5 and 7 PM. You'd be lucky to get anywhere on time.
核心策略:明确选择 + 解释原因 + (可选)承认另一方的优点。这种对比思维非常受考官青睐。
常用开头:
问题: Do you prefer reading books or watching movies?
That's a tricky question! I'm tempted to say I prefer reading because it allows my imagination to run wild. Having said that, I absolutely love a good movie night with friends – it's more of a social thing. But if I had to choose, I'd pick books.
核心策略:不要只给一个名词! 模式是:总体倾向 + 列举具体种类 + 细节/例子。
常用开头:
问题: What kind of music do you like?
Oh, I have quite a wide taste, actually. I'm really into indie rock and electronic music the most. You know, bands like Arctic Monkeys, and artists like Flume. I find their music is so energetic and perfect for when I'm working out.
核心策略:连接过去与现在。模式是:确认过去事实 + 具体回忆/故事 + 联系现在的感受或变化。
常用开头:
问题: Did you enjoy studying history when you were at school?
Actually, no, I wasn't a big fan of it back then. I found it a bit dry and just all about memorizing dates. But looking back now, I kind of wish I'd paid more attention. I mean, history is basically the story of everything, right? It's actually fascinating to me now.
核心策略:模糊频率词 + 具体情境 + 最近一次的例子。避免只给一个 sometimes 。
常用开头:
问题: How often do you go to the cinema?
Not as much as I'd like to, to be honest. I'd say maybe once every couple of months? It's kind of a special treat. Actually, I went just the other day to see the new action movie – it was awesome!
核心策略:这些问题是延伸答案的黄金机会! 模式是:直接回答 + 生动细节 + 感受。
常用开头:
问题: Where do you usually listen to music?
Pretty much everywhere! But I'd say the most common place is on the subway. You know, it's the perfect way to block out the noise and just chill. Plus, I always have my headphones on when I'm working out at the gym.
核心策略:这是展示词汇和思维深度的最好机会。 模式是:明确原因 + 深入解释 + 结果/影响。
常用开头:
问题: Why do you think people like to travel?

问题: Do you like cooking?
回答A (正面):
Actually, yes, I'm really into it. For me, it's the best way to unwind after a hectic day. There's nothing better than cooking a meal from scratch for friends – it costs an arm and a leg to eat out these days! So yeah, it's definitely my cup of tea.
(逻辑:语气词开头 → 习语表达喜欢 → 解释原因 → 对比延伸(用另一个习语) → 总结)
问题: Do you like cooking?
回答B (负面):
Well, to be honest, it's not really my cup of tea. I find it a bit of a chore, you know? The last time I tried to bake a cake, it was a complete disaster – I almost pulled my hair out! So nowadays, I only cook once in a blue moon when I absolutely have to.
(逻辑:软化语开头 → 习语表达不喜欢 → 解释感受 → 讲个小故事(用习语增加幽默感) → 总结现状(再用一个习语))
问题: Are you a busy person?
回答:
That's a good question! I'd say I have my moments. You know, towards the end of the semester, I have a lot on my plate with exams and assignments. I'm a real busy bee then. But during the holidays, I can just chill out and take it easy.
(逻辑:缓冲语开头 → 直接回答 → 习语描述忙碌 → 用另一个习语强化 → 对比转折,用短语描述清闲)
