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 3

1. What kind of books do young people like to read nowadays?
我的答案
Nowadays, many young people are drawn to books that are either highly relatable or immediately rewarding. This includes self-improvement books, popular science fantasy novels, and books that have gone viral on social media. Compared with previous generations, young readers tend to prefer content that is accessible, emotionally engaging, and aligned with their personal interests rather than purely academic works.
1. be drawn to …　被……吸引；对……产生强烈兴趣
2. relatable adj. 有共鸣的；让人“对号入座”的；容易让读者产生情感认同的
3. immediately rewarding 立即有回报的；马上能获得满足感或成就感的
4. rewarding adj. 有回报感的；能带来即时满足感或成就感的
5. popular science 通俗科学；科普书籍
6. self-improvement books 自我提升类书籍；个人成长类书籍
7. fantasy novels　奇幻小说；幻想文学类小说
8. accessible adj. 容易理解的；易接近的；可获取的
• 指信息、知识、地点、资源等容易到达或使用，不难理解或不难获得。
9. emotionally engaging 在情感层面具有吸引力的；能引发情绪投入的

2. Some people believe that if children read more books, they may become more successful in the future. What’s your opinion?
我的答案
I largely agree with this view, although I think the relationship is indirect rather than guaranteed. Reading regularly helps children build vocabulary, improve concentration, and develop analytical thinking, all of which are essential skills for long-term success.
1. is indirect rather than guaranteed 关系是间接的，而不是必然的
2. improve concentration 提高注意力 / 专注力
3. develop analytical thinking 培养分析性思维能力
That said, success also depends on how children engage with what they read. If reading is encouraged as an active process—where children reflect, question, and apply ideas—then it can significantly influence their future development. Simply reading large quantities of books without reflection may have a limited impact.
1. reflection noun 反思；对所学内容进行思考和内化

3. What’s the value of museums?
我的答案
Museums play a crucial role in preserving collective memory and cultural identity. They provide access to authentic artefacts that allow people to connect with history in a tangible way, something textbooks or digital media cannot fully replicate.
1. preserve collective memory 保存集体记忆；维持一个群体或社会共同的历史记忆
2. cultural identity 文化认同；体现某个群体或民族的文化特征和身份
3. authentic artefacts 真实的文物；原真文物（非复制品、非仿制品）
authentic adj.
1. known to be real and what sb claims it is and not a copy 真正的；真品的；真迹的
2. true and accurate 真实的；真正的
3. made to be exactly the same as the original 逼真的
4. in a tangible way 以具体的、可感知的方式；可以触摸、感受到的方式
In addition, museums serve an educational function by contextualising objects within broader historical, social, and cultural narratives, helping visitors gain a deeper understanding of how societies evolve.
1. contextualise verb 将……置于背景之中进行解读；把事物放在特定历史 / 社会 / 文化语境下理解
2. broader historical, social, and cultural narratives 更广泛的历史、社会和文化叙事
3. evolve verb 发展；演变；逐步变化
• 指社会、文化、思想或事物随时间逐渐变化或进步

4. Should museums be replaced by the Internet?
我的答案
I don’t think museums should be replaced, but rather complemented by the Internet. While online platforms make information more accessible, they cannot recreate the physical presence and emotional impact of seeing real artefacts in person.
1. complement verb 补充；与……相辅相成（强调“一起更好”，不是取代）
2. recreate the physical presence /ˈprezns/ 重现实体存在感；还原真实物品在现场带来的“在场感”
Museums offer an immersive experience that engages visitors on both an intellectual and emotional level. The Internet, on the other hand, works best as a tool for expanding access and providing additional interpretation, rather than acting as a complete substitute.
1. substitute 替代品；替代
