一、Part3 解题套路
口语虽然从四项评分标准考察，但是对于多数考生来说，应试时的紧张加上平时练习机会的缺乏会让平时储备的高级词汇和复杂句型没法在考场上得以及时和恰当运用。一方面，我们需要在平时练习中尽量运用新学知识，否则词汇仅仅止步于认识，考试的时候用不出来或者用不好；另一方面，应试的时候推荐以分类法为核心思路，以便能够多说，并且以较强的逻辑性脱颖而出。
1.扣 题
首先要通过类似写作改写题目的手段直应题目，一方面表示自己听懂了问题，另一方面初步展示自己词汇和语法的范围和灵活性。或者在碰到毫无准备的问题时，为了更好地组织接下来的语言，我们简单地说“That’s a tough /an interesting topic”肯定是不如“It’s very difficult to know for sure, but I think/perhaps/it’s possible＋从句”更加分，并能争取更多思考整理后续内容时间。
2.对比（分类法）
基于任何事物都有对立面这一角度对答题内容进行简单分类，一方面可以使谈论内容翻倍，另一方面使考生的逻辑思维表现达到Part3 的高度。
（1）不同人群之间的对立比较。
① 例如：What types of outdoor activities are popular in your country?
解题思路：户外活动是要由人来进行的，而且不同的人群喜欢的活动肯定不尽相同，那么我们来给人群分类：
老年人：old people / the aged / elderly people / senior citizens 一般喜欢慢节奏（slow pace）的，比如下棋（play chess）。
青年人：young people / the young / the younger / youth / the youngsters（青少年）一般喜欢刺激性的（stimulating）/有挑战性的（challenging），比如竞技体育运动（competitive sports）。
② 同理，人群还可以分为男人和女人（males and females）。比如回答关于购物习惯（shopping habits）的题目，除了老年人更喜欢去露天市场（open air market）和年轻人喜欢网购（on-line shopping）之外，男女的区别在于：
图2.3 男女购物路线对比
Men would rather buy a workable product than continue to shop, while women would rather continue to shop in the hope of finding a perfect solution.In ot her words, women are more selective and more likely to buy a product that fits all of their requirements.The result is, women tend to be more astute (机敏的) consumers than men, simply because they are willing to invest the time and energy necessary to research and compare products.（音频184）
③ 比如回答：How can people make full use of leisure time?
答题思路：不同的人群休闲的目的和方式是不一样的。
工作的人：参加一些专门的俱乐部，认识有相同爱好的人一起活动等。比如车友会 (car club)定期一起出游；
学生：（primary/elementary 小学；middle/secondary 中学；senior school/high school 高中；undergraduate 大学本科生）参加兴趣班 (interest classes)，学习演奏乐器（play musical instruments）等。
④ 如以下作文题目，也有助于对人群分类打开思路：
Some people believe that students who want to attend colleges or universities after graduation from high school should spend one year taking a job to gain work experience or traveling to enlarge their vision.
事实上，无论在哪个国家总是有部分学生家庭难以承担大学学费的，那么根据家庭经济情况（family economic condition），高中毕业后的学生去向可以如下分类：
Students from rich/well off/well to do（家境良好的）family may continue studies or travel for one year; Others from poor/poorly off/needy/impoverished/underprivileged family may have to spend one year working to gain experience and save up for further studies.
⑤ 解决问题型。
此类题目除了分析问题外，提出解决方案时可以对不同的执行者进行分类（见表2.2），比如回答：What are the main environmental problems facing the world today? How could they be addressed?
表2.2 按执行者分类
其中，政府作为总收税人，其职责可以说是渗透到从国家管理到个人生活的方方面面，这个论点可以用在几乎所有分析解决问题型题目中。其英语表达如下：
From a tax payer’s point of v iew, the supreme tax gatherer – our government should scientifically allocate such spectacular financial resource to proper purposes, to maintain or improve the conditions of national economy, security, legislation, and all other sections closely related to its citizens’ daily life, like accommodation, education, medical service, transportation and environment protection.（音频185）
⑥ 表达重要性型。
表达重要性时，可以按照东方人（中国人）和西方人分别陈述。比如问送花习惯，东西方肯定是不同的。中国人过节或者看望别人不习惯送花，而西方人送花则很平常。
再比如回答下题：Which subjects, sports, activities or lessons do you believe to have the highest priority in a child’s education?
原因：The reason is, Chinese, mathematics and English are always the three essential subjects for almost all levels of Chinese school entrance exams, while the western children would seldom meet same situation.（音频186）
参考词汇：
Chinese 中国人/many Easterner 很多东方人；Chinese/Mathematics/English 语数英；Westerner 西方人；innovative/creative abilities 创新创造能力；Arts and Crafts 美工；sense of belonging 归属感；patriotic sentiment 爱国情操；History and Geography 历史和地理；Local Studies 乡土学。
⑦ 讨论矛盾观点型。
根据人群分类，再分别解释各自的原因。比如下题可以根据性格内外向分类：
Suggest reasons why some people prefer to travel in groups, yet others prefer to travel alone.
外向的人（Extroverted people）：喜欢跟团旅游（prefer to travel in groups）；
内向的人（Introverted people）：喜欢个人游（prefer to travel alone）。
原因：Generally spea king, there are two kinds of people in the society, extroverted and introverted people, acting and thinking in totally different ways.Outgoing persons normally like a big gathering of people and is talkative in a group, while an indrawn one is more likely to be at home reading and enjoying quiet time and getting their energy from being alone.（音频187）
比如回答：Some people prefer to stay in the same job for the same company, but others prefer to change jobs frequently.
同理，人群还可分为保守的（conservative）和/激进的（progressive）。
（2）同一事物内部的对立比较。
人们常说：“Every coin has two sides.”“X (Science) is a double-edged sword.”任何事物都是有两面性的，可以分别从优缺点去说：
开场白：Everything has its advantages and disadvantages;
优缺点其他表达：pluses and minuses / merits and demerits / benefits and drawbacks;
积极和消极影响：positive and negative influences/effects;
乐观和悲观结果：optimistic and pessimistic results.
表示并列的固定搭配：
on the one hand...on the other hand…（表对立）；
for one thing...for another...（表并列，无对立之意）。
比如：On the one hand, there are many advantages of X (solar power) worth noting.
1…；2…；(3…).On the other hand, X’s (solar power’s) disadvantages are actually not so plentiful.In fact, there’s only one notable drawback to X (such energy resource) that I can think of.
1…；2…；(3…).是列举时的结构，可以表达为：
第一（首先）：first and foremost, to begin/ start with, in the first place, for one thing；
第二（其次）：in addition, furthermore, moreover, what is more, besides；
第三（最后）：last but not least, most importantly .
注意：“In the first place”必须和“In the second place”及“In the third place”等组合使用。
（3）同一事物不同时间和空间地点的比较，包括变化（changes）话题：
过去和现在（past and present）；历史与现实（history and reality）；发达国家和发展中国家（developed and developing countries）
