Part 3 与 Part 1 的核心区别

深度 浅层 - 简短、直接、个人化的回答 深层 - 需要展开、解释、论证和举例
问题性质 事实/偏好类 - Do you like...? Whats your favourite...? 论证/评价类 - Why...? What are the advantages...? How has... changed?
回答长度 2-3句话 - 直接回答+1个简单扩展 4-5句话或更长 - 需要一个微型议论文结构
语言要求 简单、自然的口语 更正式、更学术的词汇和复杂句式

简单比喻:

Part 1

像是和陌生人聊天破冰

Part 3

像是大学 tutorial(研讨课)上的讨论,学生需要展现出学生的思辨能力

第三部分的常见问题形式及回答框架

第一类:比较类问题 (Comparing)

目的:

考察学生区分不同群体、时代或概念的能力。

常见问题形式:

How are A and B different?
Whats the difference between...?
Compare the attitudes of young people and old people towards...
Is there any difference between...?

核心策略:

使用对比性语言,清晰指出不同点,并可简要分析原因。

实用表达(中英对照):

引入主要区别:

  • The most striking difference is that...(最显著的区别在于...)
  • The fundamental distinction lies in...(根本的区别在于...)
  • While A tends to be..., B is generally more...(虽然A倾向于...,但B通常更...)
  • The main thing that sets them apart is...(将它们区分开来的主要点是...)

引出第二个区别:

  • Another key distinction is...(另一个关键区别是...)
  • Besides that, ...(除此之外,...)
  • On top of that, Id say...(除此之外,我想说...)

完整回答案例:

问题: What are the differences between the way children and adults make friends?(孩子和成年人交朋友的方式有什么不同?)

Well, I think the most striking difference is that childrens friendships are often formed based on proximity and immediate shared activities. For example, they become best friends simply because they sit next to each other in class or play on the same football team. In contrast, adults tend to form friendships on a deeper level, seeking out others with similar values, life experiences, or senses of humour.

Another key distinction is the effort required. Childrens friendships seem effortless and spontaneous, while adults often have to be more intentional due to busy schedules and existing commitments like work and family. So, adults might actively join clubs or use apps to meet new people, which is rare for children.

嗯,我认为最显著的区别在于,孩子们的友谊通常是基于 proximity(接近性)和即时的共同活动而形成的。例如,他们成为最好的朋友仅仅是因为在班上坐在一起或在同一个足球队踢球。相反地,成年人倾向于在更深的层面上建立友谊,寻找那些拥有相似价值观、生活经历或幽默感的人。

另一个关键区别是所需的 effort(努力)。孩子们的友谊看起来是轻松且自发的,而成年人由于繁忙的日程和诸如工作、家庭等现有责任,往往需要更 intentional(有意识地)去经营。所以,成年人可能会主动加入俱乐部或使用应用程序来结识新朋友,这对孩子们来说是很罕见的。

第二类:预测类问题 (Predicting)

目的:

考察学生运用语言推测未来的能力。

常见问题形式:

What will X be like in the future?
Do you think Y will become more popular?
How might Z change in the next 20 years?

核心策略:

使用表示可能性的情态动词(will, might, could, may)和副词(probably, possibly, likely)。给出推测的理由。

实用表达(中英对照):

引出预测:

  • I envisage that well see a rise in...(我设想我们会看到...的增长)
  • Its highly likely that... will become prevalent due to...(由于...,...很可能会变得普遍)
  • I suspect we might witness a shift towards...(我猜想我们可能会目睹向...的转变)
  • I can imagine a future where...(我可以想象一个...的未来)

表示不确定性:

  • Its difficult to say for certain, but I imagine that...(很难肯定地说,但我想象...)
  • Im not a futurologist, but Id guess that...(我不是未来学家,但我猜...)
  • Its always hard to predict, but one possibility is...(预测总是很难,但一种可能性是...)

完整回答案例:

问题: How do you think the way we read will change in the future?(学生认为我们未来的阅读方式会如何改变?)

Its difficult to say for certain, but I imagine that physical books will never disappear completely because people love the tactile experience. However, I suspect we might witness a continued surge in the popularity of audiobooks and digital platforms.

I can easily envisage a future where interactive e-books become the norm, especially in education. These books could contain embedded videos, hyperlinks to additional resources, and even interactive quizzes. So, the concept of reading might evolve from a passive activity to a much more immersive and engaging experience.

很难肯定地说,但我想象纸质书永远不会完全消失,因为人们喜欢那种 tactile(触觉)体验。然而,我猜想我们可能会目睹有声书和数字平台的 popularity(受欢迎程度)持续飙升。

我可以轻易地设想一个未来, interactive(交互式的)电子书成为常态,尤其是在教育领域。这些书可能包含嵌入的视频、附加资源的超链接,甚至还有交互式测验。因此,阅读的概念可能会从一种被动活动演变成一种更加沉浸式和吸引人的体验。

第三类:原因与影响类问题 (Analysing Causes/Effects)

目的:

考察学生分析现象和论证的能力。

常见问题形式:

Why do you think X happens?
What are the effects of Y on society?
What factors contribute to...?
What impact does... have on...?

核心策略:

给出多个原因或影响,并使用连接词使其有条理。用例子或解释来支持每个点。

实用表达(中英对照):

引出原因/影响:

  • There are a multitude of factors behind this. Primarily,... Secondly,...(这背后有很多因素。首先,...其次,...)
  • This phenomenon can be largely attributed to...(这种现象主要可归因于...)
  • One direct consequence of this is...(一个直接的后果是...)
  • The most significant impact, in my view, is...(在我看来,最显著的影响是...)

增加要点:

  • Furthermore,... / Moreover,...(此外,...)
  • On top of that,...(除此之外,...)
  • Another ripple effect is...(另一个连锁反应是...)

完整回答案例:

问题: Why do you think some people prefer to shop online rather than in physical stores?(为什么学生认为有些人更喜欢网上购物而不是去实体店?)

This trend can be largely attributed to the unparalleled convenience it offers. Primarily, online shopping saves a tremendous amount of time and effort. You can browse and compare products from countless vendors without leaving your home, at any time of day.

Secondly, it often provides consumers with more choice and better prices due to the intense competition between online retailers. Furthermore, the ability to read detailed customer reviews before making a purchase reduces the perceived risk of buying something that doesnt meet your expectations.

这种趋势主要可归因于它提供的无与伦比的 convenience(便利性)。首先,网上购物节省了大量的时间和精力。学生可以在一天中的任何时间,足不出户就浏览和比较来自无数供应商的产品。

其次,由于在线零售商之间的激烈竞争,它通常为消费者提供了更多的选择和更好的价格。此外,在购买前阅读详细客户评论的能力,降低了买到不符合预期产品的风险。

第四类:利弊分析类 (Discussing Advantages/Disadvantages)

问题形式:

What are the benefits and drawbacks of...?

回答策略:

保持客观平衡。可以先说好处,再说坏处,或者反过来。

语言表达:

  • On the one hand, a major advantage is... On the other hand, a significant downside is...
  • While it undoubtedly brings benefits such as..., we cannot ignore the problems it causes, for instance...
  • The positives outweigh the negatives in my view, because...

第五类:评价观点类 (Evaluating Opinions)

问题形式:

Some people say X, do you agree? To what extent do you think this is true?

回答策略:

明确表达学生的立场(同意、不同意、部分同意),并给出强有力的理由。

语言表达:

  • Im inclined to agree because...
  • I tend to disagree with that viewpoint. From my perspective,...
  • Its a complex issue. While theres some truth to that statement, I also believe that...

当学生不确定或不知道答案时(重要策略!)

在Part 3,学生绝对不可能知道所有问题的答案。考官测试的不是学生的知识,而是学生的语言能力。因此,如何巧妙地应对不知道的问题至关重要。

千万不要说:

  • I dont know. (直接放弃,展示不了语言能力)
  • Thats a stupid question. (不尊重考官)
  • (长时间沉默)

应该采取的策略:

1. 坦诚但智慧地承认(Buy Time)

  • 英文: Thats a tough question. Ive never really thought about that before.
  • 中文: 这是个难题,我之前还真没仔细想过。
  • 英文: I dont have any personal experience in this area, but I suppose that...
  • 中文: 我个人在这方面没有经验,但我猜想...

2. 将问题泛化或转移到相关领域(Redirect)

  • 英文: Im not an expert on A, but I can tell you about the general trend in B, which might be related...
  • 中文: 我不是A方面的专家,但我可以谈谈B方面的一些普遍趋势,这可能有关联...
  • 英文: I cant speak for everyone, but from what Ive observed...
  • 中文: 我不能代表所有人,但根据我的观察...

3. 进行有根据的推测(Speculate)

  • 英文: I dont have the data to back this up, but its reasonable to assume that...
  • 中文: 我没有具体数据支持,但我们可以合理推测...
  • 英文: If I had to guess, Id say that the main reason is probably...
  • 中文: 如果非要我猜的话,我认为主要原因可能是...

4. 讨论问题的另一个层面(Reframe)

  • 英文: Well, I think the answer might depend on how you look at it. For example, from an economic perspective,... whereas from a social angle,...
  • 中文: 嗯,我觉得答案可能取决于学生从哪个角度看。比如,从经济角度看...,而从社会角度...

完整回答案例:

问题: What are the potential economic implications of quantum computing for a country?(量子计算对一个国家潜在的经济影响是什么?)

Thats a rather complex question that I dont know all that much about, to be honest. Im not an economist or a scientist, but if I had to speculate, Id say that a country that leads in quantum computing could gain a significant competitive advantage.

Its reasonable to assume that it could revolutionise industries like cryptography and drug discovery, leading to massive economic growth and job creation in those sectors. However, I suppose it might also disrupt existing markets and create new ethical challenges that would need to be managed. Its a fascinating topic, but certainly very complex.

说实话,这是一个相当复杂的问题,我对此了解不多。我不是经济学家也不是科学家,但如果非要我推测的话,我想说一个在量子计算领域领先的国家可能会获得显著的竞争优势。

可以合理地假设,它可能会彻底改变密码学和药物研发等行业,从而为这些领域带来巨大的经济增长和就业机会。然而,我想它可能也会 disrupt(颠覆)现有市场,并带来需要管理的新的伦理挑战。这是一个引人入胜的话题,但无疑非常复杂。

在这个回答中,考生成功:

  1. 坦诚地承认了知识的局限(Thats a complex question...)。
  2. 将问题泛化(...a country could gain a significant advantage)。
  3. 进行了有根据的推测(Its reasonable to assume that...)。
  4. 讨论了问题的多个层面(advantages 和 challenges)。
