雅思口语Part 3: How to teach the older generation to use new technology? 如何教会老一代人去使用新科技?

这个问题还挺有意思的，有时候我拿教我同龄朋友的方式来教老一代人会发现比较困难。行不通的地方就在于老一辈的人没有那个相关的背景知识。所以我的做法就是叫他们按照我说的步骤一步步来，以免他们漏掉一些重要的东西。另外呢，如果他们没有理解那么快，我就会把操作步骤也写下来，这样对他们来说就容易操作了。

That’s an interesting question. You know, sometimes I find it’s quite difficult to teach the older generation in the same way I do for my peers. What’s not working here is that they don’t have much background knowledge. So, this article is from Laokaoya website, what I do is just let them copy the steps I teach them in case they miss something important. Plus, if they don’t pick up so quickly, then I will write down the procedures, which are kind of easy for them to operate.

雅思口语Part 3: Do you think parks should be free of charge? 你认为公园应该免费吗?

你认为公园应该免费吗?

我认为让游客免费进入公园是一个不好的主意，为什么这么说呢?因为如果免费开放了的话，越来越多的人会为所欲为，比如说随处乱丢垃圾，不把公园当做公共场合。更糟糕的是，公园内的公共设施被用的次数会更加多，物件损坏会更严重。最后还是得政府买单。

Well, I think it’s not a good idea to give visitors free access to the parks. Why? Because if it’s free, then I guess more and more people will do whatever they want like littering around, not taking the parks as public places, and what’s worse? The facilities there would be more easily damaged by unlimited usage. The cost would be huge for the government.

雅思口语Part 3: Do you think communicating with foreigners is a good way to learn about foreign culture?

你认为与外国人交流是学习外国文化的很好方式吗?

我觉得这绝 对是学习外国文化的一个很好的方式之一。对于大多数的人们来说，经常国外体验和感受他们的生活是不太可能的。但是呢，在国内找到外国友人还是很方便的，他们可以告诉我们很多我们意识不到的文化。有时候我们甚至能从他们的举止行为中就能学习到他们的文化。

I suppose it’s definitely one of the best approaches to get to know about foreign culture. You know how difficult is it for ordinary people to travel abroad constantly and to understand the culture is not possible by experiencing the real life in other countries. However, this article is from Laokaoya website, it’s not that hard for us to get to know some foreign friends who could highly possibly tell us something about the culture that we are not aware of. Even, by just looking at the personal behavior they conduct, we can pick up some.

雅思口语Part 3: Do you like to exercise in the public places, such as parks?

你喜欢在公共场所锻炼身体吗，比如公园?

嗯，我绝 对会去这些地方健身的。这些地方是健身的绝 佳地方，因为你不会受到旁边大街上车的噪音的影响，类似公园这种地方的空气也比水泥建内要好很多。所以，如果我有足够的时间的话，我有时会独自一人或者同朋友一块会去这些地方健身的。

Oh yeah, for sure I do. These are perfect places for me because you won’t be bothered by some noise coming out from the cars on the nearby streets and definitely the air is far better than that than that in the concrete buildings. So, if I got enough time, I would go there to exercise alone or sometimes with my best friends.

雅思口语Part 3: Do people like that river in your country?

你们国家的人们喜欢那条河流吗?

这道题是Part 2话题卡问完之后紧接着口语考官会问到的一道题。比如P2你谈到的重要的河流是Yangtse River, 那么题目的回答就会这样顺下去。

嗯，他们觉得喜欢那条河(长江黄河等等都可)。他们对那条河有很深的情感。在我小的时候就听他们说过，长江是我们的母亲和。正是因为有了这样的河流，我们才能够获得巨大的电能，让我们在城镇的夜生活更加丰富多彩。

Definitely, they do. They have strong relationship with that river. They’ve often said that it’s our mother river since I was a very little kid. It’s the river that helps us generate tremendous amount of electricity so that we could live a colorful night life in the cities and towns.

雅思口语Part 3: Do older people or younger people prefer exercising in the public place?

老年人和年轻人谁更喜欢去公共场所锻炼身体?

这貌似有点难说，就我了解的，从居住在我身边的这些人来看，我觉得还是老年人们更喜欢去公共场所去锻炼身体。为啥呢?因为老年人们比年轻人们的闲暇时间更多一些。这些年轻人们要么是忙着自己的工作，要么就是忙着自己的学习。他们要是锻炼身体的话，情愿在家里完成掉。

It’s kind of hard to say which group of people are more keen on exercising. To my knowledge, judging by those people living around me, I should say, it’s the older people. Why? Becuase they got more free time to do to so compared with those youngsters who are either busy with their work or studies, they would probably like to do some exercise at home.

雅思口语Part 3: Do most people have mobile phones in your country?

你国家的大多数人都有手机吗?

哈哈，显而易见，我觉得现在在中国，手上没有手机的人太少了，不管你啥时候坐上公交比如地铁啥的，你就会看到很多人拿着只能手机观看或者浏览一些信息。这一部分原因是因为科技的发展很迅速，大多数人都能买得起手机了，而且手机也的确给我们的生活带来了极大的便利性。

Ha, the answer should be obvious. I think in China it’s quite uncommon that people don’t get a phone on their hand. Whenever you get on a public transport like the MRT or something, you would see lots of people watching or browsing some information on their smart phones. This is partly because that the technology develops so fast that nearly most of us in China can afford one, and it’s definitely brought us a lot of convenience in our lives.

雅思口语Part 3: Are there any public places in China?

中国有很多公共场所吗?

在我看来，中国的公共场所还是挺多的， 不管是用来娱乐的还是举办正式盛会的。最常见的公共场所相比就是在中国各个城市的人民广场了。每次吃完饭，我们就会去那里走动走动，散散步什么的。尤其是在晚上，你会看到很多的老年人们，我们一般叫大妈或者阿姨们沉醉在广场舞中。

Well, to my mind, there are many places that are for the public, whether it’s for entertainment or formal events. The most common place we go is a place called Renmin Guangchang, which is a public square in most cities of China. We usually take a walk there after dinner, and especially during the evening, you will see lots of elderly people, usually, we call them damas and ayis, have a crash on the square dance.

雅思口语Part 3: Are children allowed to use mobile phones in your country?

在你的国家，孩子被允许使用手机吗?

雅思口语Part3中文翻译：

是允许的，不过有个限制。孩子们可以在校园以外的地方使用他们的手机，不然的话，他们的手机很有可能会被学校的老师给没收了。我一亲戚的小孩就跟我说过他最新款式的iPhone被老师没收了，惩罚他在上课的时候使用手机超过了三次。更让他伤心的是只有他在期末考试中获得了好成绩老师才会把手机归还他。

雅思口语Part3英文解析：

Yes, they are allowed to use mobiles. But there’s a limit. They are only allowed to use outside the campus otherwise their mobile phones would be highly possibly confiscated by their teachers. A child of my relatives told me that his latest iPhone was taken away by his teacher as a punishment because he used it for more than three times while his teaching was giving a lecture. What made him even sad about was that his phone couldn’t be returned to him until he got a good result in the final.

相关雅思口语Part3词汇：

confiscate /ˈkɒnfɪskeɪt/ v.没收

punishment/ˈpʌnɪʃmənt/ n.惩罚

relative /ˈrelətɪv/ n.亲戚

雅思备考之雅思口语Part 3准备 Do you like helping others?

这道题与雅思口语话题帮助别人有关

翻译：你喜欢帮助别人吗?

这道题分析看来，一般都是出自于雅思口语Part 1部分。不过，有时候考官也会出在part 3来当做引子引出更加深入的问题。所以，题目，虽然简单，各位烤鸭们不可掉以轻心哦。

Yes, I love helping people especially those who are really in need. I’m a white-collar worker who works his butt off and often finds no time to help others. But even if I was kind of deprived of my freedom at the company, I’ve still found a good way to help others. That is to donate some money as I can on some online charity platforms, for instance, I usually donate 1 RMB to help the homeless kids on Tencent Charity which is a Wechat based donation platform supported by Tencent company.

是的，我尤其喜欢帮助那些需要帮助的人们。我是一个每天苦逼拼命给公司打工的小白领，常常没时间出去帮别人。但是即使这样被公司剥削的没有太多自由的情况下，我还是能够找到一些好的方式来帮助别人。比如，我会在一些网上的公益平台尽量做些捐助。例如，我常常在自己空闲的时候去微信里面的腾讯公益捐一元钱来帮助无家可归的孤儿们。

雅思备考之口语Part 3真题解析 Which group would read more, young people or old people?

哪一类人看得书比较多，是年轻人还是老年人?

本期的雅思口语Part 3真题关于阅读

同样，大家先自己思考一下，然后再参考答案。

剖析：这个问题其实是没有谁对谁错的，都是自己的相关。大家生活的圈子不一样，可能回答就不太一样。比方说小编就生活在一群知识分子当中，众多大妈阿姨爷爷奶奶辈儿的看各种书籍。感觉快要被淘汰

Well, people that I know so far have a very strong interest in reading, no matter young and old. But, I think the majority of them are still youngsters. For example, those who are attending schools read far more than those who start their work. Sometimes, we feel a little regretful that the technology distracts our attention from reading.

我所了解到的人们中，不管老少都还是很有阅读的兴趣的。但是，看书比较多的大多数人们还是都是一些年亲人。比如，那些还在上学的人们明显要比参加工作了的人们读书要多。有时候，我们会感觉到一丝丝的后悔，觉得现在的科技分散了我们阅读的注意力。

雅思备考之口语Part 3问题准备Do you prefer books or movies?

翻译：书和电影，你更倾向于哪个一个?

这个题目难度系数适中，可以回答书也可以回答电影，各有各的好处，各位也不难找到相关的理由。不过需要各位能够把话说全面。

同样，先自己思考思考，然后再对照小编的范文分析一下自己回答的怎么样。

I personally love movies more. It sounds like I am a kind of superficial man though. The reason why I love it is because movie is a more vivid way of getting to know the facts. You know, to a person who has short memory, it is hard for him to get a bigger picture by just reading through a large piece of wrriten information. So, if I was on an lonely island, moives are probably my best friend compared with books.

个人而言，我还是更加倾向于看电影的。这听起来感觉我就像是一个比较肤浅的人 我倾向于看电影的原因是因为看电影可以更生动得了解到事实。对于一个记忆力差的人来说，阅读到大片文字信息的会很难获得整个全局画面。所以，把我放到荒岛上面，我觉得相对于书来说，电影才是我最好的朋友。

雅思备考之口语part 3问题解析How is modern home design (both inside & outside appearance) in your country different to that of the past?

翻译：现代房屋设计(内部和外观)跟以前比有什么不同?

I think the difference is not so obvious in terms of the outside appearance. But as for the interior design, there’s a huge difference in recent decades. When I was a child, about 7 years old or so, I could hardly see someone’s apartment ceiling was decorated with lots of western styles. What I could remember was that that the droplight on the ceiling had no other ornaments. But now, as you can see in most families, there’s a common mix of the traditional Chinese and Western elements.

我觉得在现代房屋的外部设计没有太多明显的变化，但是就内部设计而言，最近几十年来看还是有很大差异的。我记得在我小的时候，大概七八岁把，我几乎看不到有西式风格的装修。我记得那会儿天花板上的吊灯都没有太多装饰品。但现在呢，在很多家庭里的设计都有中西式的元素的融合。

雅思备考之雅思口语Part 3问题What’s the difference between men and women in their reading habits?

翻译：男人和女人的阅读习惯有什么差异?

Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a difference between men and women in their reading habits. Since the first day of my school in the classroom, we have received the same education and finished their reading tasks roughly the same. But, concerning the difference of personality, I guess women are more careful than men. That’s probably the reason why some proofreading was mostly done by women.

坦白而言，我也不知道男人女人之前的阅读习惯有什么差异性。从我们在学校的第1天开始，我们都是接受的同样的教育，完成同样的阅读任务。但是如果就性格的差异性来看，我觉得男女之间，女人还是比男人更加细心一些。这估计就是为什么很多校对工作都是由女人们来完成的吧。

有的时候，如果不太了解题目相关的探讨的问题，比如说这道题中所探讨的reading habits，我们不必一味得往那个问题方向去努力思考，考场上的时间容不得我们仔细斟酌。因此，很多时候，只要你坦白说出自己内心的真实感受，语言上不出问题，那么考官是不会追究问题的思维深度的。

雅思备考之雅思口语part 3问题：你觉得，与过去相比，现在人们更不愿意帮助别人了吗?

考官原话：Do you think people are less willing to help others these days, compared to the past?

Well, I think people indeed are less motivated to help others. When I was a little child, there was actually no Internet and other fancy stuff that could make people feel superficial and selfish. We were told to help the old when they fell down on the street, and that’s what we pretty much did and it’s quite common to us. However, what’s made us sad was that we might be cheated by those old stumbled people. What’s wore is that nothing we could do to change it, coz we are all busy doing our own business. Nobody cares humanity that much.

我的确觉得现在的人们更不愿意帮助他人了。在我小的时候，那时还没有互联网也没有那些让我们会变得肤浅和自私的花哨东西。我们总是被教育要帮助摔倒在马路上的人们，而且我们也真的会去做。然而现在呢，伤心的是，我们不愿意去帮助摔倒的老人， 我们甚至还担心那些人会讹我们。更糟糕的是，我们为此还无法做出些改变，因为我们都在忙于我们自己的事情。没有人过多在意人性的一面。

雅思备考之雅思口语part 3问题 What do you think are the benefits of having unpaid volunteer workers?

翻译：你觉得雇佣不收报酬的志愿者有什么好处?

Well, the most obvious benefit for the employers of having unpaid volunteer workers is that volunteers don’t get paid for what they do, which will greatly reduce the company’s budget. Also, thier enthusiasm is bigger than the full-time employees in the companies, because they simple do it out of their love. Sometimes, volunteers can do better job than those full-time workers when it comes to some basic work. It’s a great alternative for employment a company.

我觉得雇佣不收报酬的志愿者的最明显的一个好处就是不用支付志愿者工资，这样能够极大降低公司的财务预算。另外，志愿者的激情和动机都比全职员工们更高一些，因为他们做的事情是真真正正处于热爱。有时候志愿者们能够把基础工作做得比全职员工们更加出色。雇佣志愿者是企业招聘的一个非常好的另类选择。

雅思备考之雅思口语Part 3问题 我们如何鼓励孩子去帮助别人?How can we encourage children to help others?

来看看这道Part three的问题 这道题显然是P3部分经常问道的画风

Well, off the top of my head, there’re actually many ways to let them know how to help others. The most direct way is to teach by talking. If we want children to know that helping others is a good behavior, then we can just ask them to do so. For instance, if we see someone get stuck at the door because of his over-sized luggage, then we could remind the kids to give him a hand by just helping hem pull it over. You know, sometimes an unexpected ‘Thank you’ will make kids feel a sense of achievement, which will definitely encourage them to continue doing good deeds to others.

我觉得吧，还是有很多方式能够鼓励他们去帮助别人的。最直接的方式就是告诉他们，让他们知道帮助他人是一种很好的行为。比如，如果我们看见一个人因为拖着过大的行李箱而卡在了门口，我们就可以提醒小孩去帮忙拉一把。有时候听到对方那种突然的感谢会让小孩子们觉得很有成就感，这也会激励着他们继续为他人做善事。

雅思口语Part 3问题下一题：Do you think people are less willing to help others these days, compared to the past?

雅思备考之口语part 3问题 Would you live in a foreign country in the future?

翻译：未来你会居住在国外吗?

请烤鸭们先思考作答，再参考

这道题依然关于living(居住)，如果你喜欢你的国，可以说说祖国的大好山河。如果你不喜欢，也可以说说让人头疼的雾霾。说道雾霾，今天给学生上课，其中有一学生还用到fog来指代雾霾，这样的用法得稍微注意一下，fog是那种喷雾的雾，类似还有smoke，那时抽烟类似的烟。最专业最地道的用法可以使用haze这个词来表示雾霾。

Well, I should say, if I got an opportunity to immigrate, I would not hesitate for any second. Why? Because I am really tired of the fast pace of life. Plus, the suffocating air pollution is one of the biggest health issues that trouble nearly all of us city dwellers. So, I would sacrifice the possible prosperity for a healthy and cozy living environment.

如果我要有机会出国定居的话，我应该绝 对不会犹豫的。要问我为啥?因为我实在是受够了快节奏的生活。另外，这让人窒息的空气污染相比是所有市民最头疼的事情，它严重影响到了我们的健康。所以，我会牺牲我在国内未来辉煌腾达的可能性来换取一个相对健康而又舒适的居住环境。

下面，来看看这样一道追问雅思口语part 3问题：How is modern home design (both inside & outside appearance) in your country different to that of the past?

雅思备考之雅思口语Part 3问题 Is science an important subject in your school?

翻译：在你的学校，自然科学是一门重要的课程吗?

这类问题都是围绕着自然科学来追问的

Yes, it is an essential subject that almost every student in our school should learn especially in the first grade of our high school. I guess the reason why it is regarded important and even compulsory in our school is that science is a fundamental subject that somehow closely linked to other subjects. Also, science teaches us to think in a logical way no matter you are a student who is going to concentrate on science or arts in the future.

是的，在我们的学校，自然科学是一门很重要的课程。在我们的学校几乎每个学生都需要学习科学，尤其是在高中的第1年。我猜学校把科学看得如此重要以至于把它作为一门必修课的原因就是它和其它课程都很相关。另外，不过你未来是专注于理科还是文科，自然科学能够教会我们更有逻辑的思考问题。

好了，我们来看一看下一个问题考官是如何问出来的：In what ways people learn about science?

雅思备考之雅思口语Part 3问题 Is it necessary for parents to read stories to their children?

翻译：父母给小孩子读书听，这有必要吗?

这类问题应该大家可能会有回答DEPENDS的可能性，不过建议大家最好能把一面说好即可，弱两边都说，那么一定要注意自己说话的逻辑，是否把问题讨论到位了。

Yes, it is. Telling kids stories is very important. It is often quite difficult for children to read long passages in which some words that they are even not that familiar with. So, instead of letting them recognize and blurting it out, it is effective for parents to tell children what is happening in the book, and this is also a good way to stimulate their interest. Some might think it might hinder them from developing their reading skills, but in terms of making learning in a funny way, it is definitely a good method right?

是的，我认为还是很有必要的。通常要让孩子们去读长篇大论会比较困难，尤其里头还出现些他们不懂的生词什么的。所以，与其让孩子们识别并朗读出书中的信息，还不如直接读给孩子听，这样能激发孩子们对书中信息的兴趣。有人也会说帮他们读出来会阻碍孩子阅读能力的提高，但是为了让孩子的学习变成一种有趣的事情，这未尝不是一个很好的方式呢?

这些题目都出自于阅读相关的雅思口语part 3问题，回顾雅思考官问的第1个问题： Which group would read more, young people or old people?
