雅思口语

Part 2 独立陈述（Long Turn）

• 时长： 3–4分钟（含1分钟准备时间）

• 流程：
1. 考官会给你一张话题卡（Cue Card），上面列出要点。
2. 你有1分钟准备时间，可使用纸笔做笔记。
3. 然后你需连续说2分钟，考官在时间到时会打断你。
4. 最后可能会问1–2个与主题相关的简短问题。

💡 答题技巧：

• 利用一分钟准备时间写下关键点（如关键词、顺序、例子）

• 用笔记记录关键词，不要写完整句子。

• 在陈述中用 “First / Next / Finally” 或 “On one hand / On the other hand” 等连接词来梳理思路

• 若卡壳，可使用填充语（That’s an interesting question... / Let me think for a moment...）。

• 若时间快到，可用一句 “In conclusion…” 或 “To sum up…” 做简短总结

• 被打断或没说满 1–2 分钟时，也不用慌张，可简要延伸某一点或回答考官追问

Part 3 深入讨论（Discussion）

• 时长： 4–5分钟

• 内容： 考官会根据Part 2的话题，引申出更抽象或社会性的问题。

💡 答题技巧：

• 采用观点 + 解释 + 例子 (Point–Explain–Example, PEE) 的结构进行回答

• 回答时要尽量展开（不要只说一两句就停），但也要注意不要偏题

Part 2

Part 3

1. Why do some people think advertising aimed at children should be prohibited?
我的答案
Many people believe this kind of advertising should be restricted because children lack the cognitive ability to critically evaluate commercial messages. They tend to take advertisements at face value, which makes them particularly vulnerable to manipulation.
1. cognitive ability 认知能力
指一个人理解信息、分析问题、进行判断和理性思考的能力。
在这里特指儿童尚未发育成熟的思考与判断能力。
2. evaluate commercial messages 评估/判断商业信息（广告内容）
合起来指：理性分析广告是否真实、是否夸大、是否具有误导性。
3. at face value
含义： 按字面意思理解；不加质疑地相信
解释：指不进行深入思考或怀疑，直接把看到或听到的内容当成事实。
语境理解：They take advertisements at face value → 孩子看到广告怎么说，就怎么信。
4. makes them particularly vulnerable to manipulation 使他们特别容易受到操纵 / 误导
As a result, advertising can create unrealistic desires, encourage materialism, and even influence unhealthy habits, such as poor eating choices. From this perspective, banning such advertising is seen as a way to protect children’s psychological and physical well-being.
1. poor eating choices
含义： 不健康的饮食选择
解释：指选择高糖、高脂肪、高热量但低营养价值的食物，比如垃圾食品、含糖饮料等。
语境理解：Advertising influences poor eating choices → 儿童广告（如零食、快餐广告）会诱导孩子吃得不健康。

2. Why do you think some parents buy lots of toys for their kids instead of spending more time with them?
我的答案
In many cases, it comes down to time pressure. Modern parents are often overwhelmed by work and other responsibilities, so buying toys becomes a convenient way to compensate for their absence.
1. come down to 归根结底是；本质原因是
简单理解：
前面说了很多，最后发现真正的原因只有一个。
come down to phrasal verb come down to something [no passive] to depend on a single important point 可归结为；可归纳为
• What it comes down to is either I get more money or I leave. 归结起来就是：不给我加薪，我就辞职。
2. time pressure 时间压力；时间紧张
3. be overwhelmed by … 被……压得喘不过气来
4. compensate for their absence 用某种方式弥补自己的缺席
Additionally, some parents equate material provision with good parenting, even though emotional engagement and quality time are often far more valuable to a child’s development.
1. equate material provision with good parenting 把物质给予等同于好父母
2. emotional engagement 情感上的投入与陪伴
3. quality time 高质量的陪伴时间

3. What are some of the differences between the toys kids play with nowadays and those they used to play with in the past?
我的答案
The most obvious difference is the level of technology involved. Toys today are far more digital and interactive, often incorporating screens, artificial intelligence, or internet connectivity.
In contrast, toys in the past were generally simpler and more imagination-driven, such as board games or handmade items. While modern toys can be more engaging, they may also reduce opportunities for creative thinking if overused.
1. board games 桌游 / 棋盘类游戏
2. imagination-driven 由想象力驱动的
3. creative thinking 创造性思维
4. overused adj. 被过度使用

4. Are there any kinds of electronic games or computer games that can have educational benefits for young children?
我的答案
Yes, when designed appropriately and used in moderation, electronic games can be highly educational. Many games help children develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and even basic programming concepts.
However, the key issue is supervision. Without guidance, educational value can quickly be replaced by passive screen consumption.
1. supervision 监督；看管；指导
2. passive screen consumption 被动地看屏幕
只是看、刷、盯着屏幕，不怎么动脑

5. Do boys and girls like the same kind of toys?
我的答案
There is some overlap, but preferences are often shaped by social expectations rather than innate differences. Traditionally, boys are encouraged to play with construction or action-based toys, while girls are steered towards dolls or role-playing games.
1. innate differences 天生的差异
2. construction or action-based toys
• construction toys：建构类玩具（如积木、乐高）
• action-based toys：动作类、冒险类玩具（如模型、玩具枪、超级英雄）
3. are steered towards 被引导去选择……
That said, these boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred, as parents and educators place more emphasis on individual interests rather than gender norms.
1. that said 话虽如此；不过
2. boundaries are blurred 界限变得模糊
3. place emphasis on 更加重视……
4. gender norms 性别规范；性别刻板印象

6. What do parents usually buy for their children to make them happy?
我的答案
Parents commonly buy toys, electronic devices, or experiences such as trips and activities. Younger children are often satisfied with tangible gifts, while older children may value freedom, attention, or shared experiences more.
1. electronic devices 电子设备
简单理解：需要用电、屏幕或程序运行的东西。
常见例子：手机、平板、游戏机、电子手表。
2. tangible gifts 有形的礼物
Ultimately, what truly makes children happy tends to be a sense of being understood and supported, rather than the price of what they receive.
