考过雅思的小伙伴们是不是都曾遇到过“比较类”问题,这类问题是口语Part3中比较高频的考题,看似容易回答,都答到点上了,可是最后的分数就是不高。因为大家没有掌握这类题的核心结构,今天小编就给大家带来此类问题的提分攻略,祝大家早日屠雅成功!
1、常见提问方式
首先我们来看一下这类问题的常见提问方式:
1. Do men and women like the same hobbies?
2. How are magazines different from newspapers?
3. Are schools nowadays the same as in the past?
4. Do shops change a lot in recent years?
相信同学们已经看出来了,12题是两个事物进行比较,34题是一个事物自身进行前后比较,但无论是两个事物还是一个事物,我们都可以用一套方法解决。
2、例题与答案
例题1:Do men and women like the same hobbies?
学生例子:No, I think men and women like different hobbies.Men like playing computer games, or doing sports activities such as football and basketball. However, women like watching TV, shopping, going to a karaoke bar and chatting on line.
答案分析:不难看出,这位考生的答案质量并不高,但是如果问大家这个答案不好在哪里,相信大部分小伙伴都会说出“答案短,单词一般,语法简单”等理由,但答案真正的致命弱点是答案的结构。同学如果仔细分析上面的答案,会发现男人的爱好有两个,而女人的爱好有四个,所以表面看上去这位考生进行了对比,但实际上他只是进行了罗列,没有做到真正意义上的对比。
答案样本:Well, certainly there are a few differences.The first difference is the outdoor activities. I mean, men are fond of doing sports activities like football and basketball. In contrast, women prefer going shopping for clothes or shoes.Another distinction is the TV programs they watch. For instance, men are quite into action movies. By comparison, women are more likely to watch soap operas.
答案分析:这个答案样本和上面那位同学的答案相比,的优势就在于答案的结构,也就是说对比的层次很清晰,一目了然。这类问题的答题技巧其实并不难,用一句话概括就是“针对性对比”。也就是说我们要先说出不同点,即对比的“靶子”,然后再进行具体的比较。
例题2:How are magazines differentfrom newspapers?
杂志和报纸的不同点其实有很多,我们可以稍微列举一下:
答题的时不用把所有不同点都说出来,挑一两个典型的就好,哪个好说选哪个。
答案样本:Well, of course several differences can be found.Thebiggest difference, I suppose, is the content. Usually, a magazine is quiteentertaining because it includes colorful pictures or interesting stories. Onthe contrary, the information on a newspaper is a little boring.In addition,the price is also different. Normally a copy of newspaper will cost you 1 or 2yuan, but you need to spend 15 or 20 yuan on a magazine.
例题3:Are schools nowadays the same as inthe past?
现在的学校和以前的学校不同点同样有很多:
我们同样还是“哪个好说选哪个”。
答案样本:Well, of course there are a fewdifferences.The most obvious difference should be the facilities. I mean,in the past, all we got were the blackboard and chalks. By contrast, today’s school will providestudents with advanced teaching facilities like the multi-media andwell-equipped labs.Moreover, a further distinction is thecourses. Decades ago, students only had to learn a fewsubjects and the content was easy, but nowadays students’ pressure has been largely increased because they have to deal with7 or 8 subjects at the same time.
