- 时长: 3–4分钟(含1分钟准备时间)
- 流程:
- 考官会给你一张话题卡(Cue Card),上面列出要点。
- 你有1分钟准备时间,可使用纸笔做笔记。
- 然后你需连续说2分钟,考官在时间到时会打断你。
- 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
Describe a person you know who loves to grow plants (e.g vegetables /fruits/flowers etc.)
You should say:
Who this person is
What he/she grows
Where he/she grows those vegetables/fruits
Well, the person who immediately comes to mind is my aunt, who is absolutely devoted to growing all kinds of plants. She lives in a small suburban town, and although her house isn’t particularly big, the entire place feels like a green sanctuary because of the way she has transformed every corner into a space for nurturing life.
She mainly grows organic vegetables and herbs—things like cherry tomatoes, courgettes, basil, rosemary, and occasionally strawberries. She also loves flowers, particularly hydrangeas and peonies, which make her garden look genuinely picturesque in the summer. What impresses me most is that she manages to grow everything with minimal equipment; she simply relies on patience, observation, and a bit of ingenuity.
Most of her plants are grown in her back garden, which she has divided into several neat plots. But because she constantly experiments, she also uses her balcony and even the windowsills indoors to grow seedlings. To her, every available patch of sunlight is an opportunity to grow something new.
I genuinely admire her because gardening is not just a hobby for her—it’s a form of mindfulness. Whenever I visit, she always tells me that nurturing a plant from a tiny seed to a mature vegetable is one of the most grounding experiences in life. And to be honest, every time I taste the food she grows, I feel she’s absolutely right.
Part3
- What do you think of being a farmer?
我的答案
I have enormous respect for farmers. Their work is demanding both physically and mentally, and it requires knowledge that goes far beyond simply planting seeds. Modern farmers must understand soil science, climate patterns, machinery, and even market trends. Despite the challenges, I think farming is incredibly meaningful because it sustains communities and forms the backbone of any society. Without farmers, none of us would have access to fresh, reliable food.
- Are there many people growing their own vegetables now?
我的答案
Yes, absolutely. In recent years there has been a noticeable shift, especially in urban areas, where people are more conscious about sustainability and food safety. Many families now use balconies, rooftop spaces, or community gardens to grow small quantities of vegetables. Although it’s not on a commercial scale, this trend reflects a growing desire to reconnect with nature and reduce reliance on mass-produced food.
- Do you think it is good to let kids know how to plant?
我的答案
Definitely. Teaching children how to plant is a highly valuable educational experience. It helps them understand where food actually comes from, which is often overlooked in modern life. It also teaches patience, responsibility, and respect for the environment. On top of that, gardening encourages children to spend more time outdoors rather than being glued to screens, which is beneficial for their physical and mental well-being.
- What are the differences between traditional and modern agriculture?
我的答案
The differences are quite significant. Traditional agriculture tends to rely more on manual labour, natural fertilisers, and local knowledge passed down through generations. It is usually small-scale and more environmentally harmonious, but often less efficient.
Modern agriculture, on the other hand, is highly mechanised and technology-driven. Farmers now use automated machinery, data analytics, satellite monitoring, and genetically improved crops to maximise productivity. While this dramatically increases output, it sometimes raises concerns about environmental impact and biodiversity. Ultimately, each approach has its strengths, and the challenge today is finding a balance that ensures both efficiency and sustainability.
