雅思口语Music话题

1.Whatkindsofmusicaresuitableforchildren?Why?

idea：欢快活泼【upbeat/cheerful/lively】，朗朗上口的【catchy】旋律

reason：这样的旋律学起来很容易，也让孩子们开心【cheerthemup】，他们可以快乐地跟着音乐唱跳【sing/dancetothemusic】

example：GangnamStyle是韩国流行音乐【K-Pop】，歌词也听不懂，可是孩子也喜欢，就因为其旋律很好被孩子接受【well-receivedamongchildren】

idea：歌曲主题【themes/subjects】贴近孩子生活，歌词【lyrics】简单

reason：歌词很生动【vivid】，有画面感【havepictures/imagesinmind】，更容易吸引孩子们的注意力【drawtheirattention】，并引起他们共鸣【relateto】

example：两只老虎，小燕子，小兔子乖乖等经典【classic】童谣都是以孩子们喜欢的动物为主题

2.Doyouthinkpeoplestastesinmusicwillchangeastheygetolder?

idea：同意，会改变

reason：人的一生有机会接触到【getexposedto】不同的音乐类型【musicgenres】，然后就会喜欢上【fallinlovewith】一种新的音乐;又或者是跟个性特点【characteristics/personaltraits】有关，年轻人精力充沛【energetic/enthusiastic】，喜欢追求刺激【lookforthrill/excitement】，所以更容易跟动感的【dynamic】流行音乐产生共鸣，而随着年纪和经历【lifeexperience】的增长，很多人的个性变得温和沉稳【calm】，这样的心态更容易接受古典音乐【classicalmusic】或者交响乐【symphony】这样的类型

example：很多人年轻的时候痴迷于【becrazyabout】摇滚乐【rockmusic】，觉得非常热血沸腾【thrilling/energizing】，但是等年纪增长以后就失去兴趣，觉得这种类型太嘈杂【noisy】，甚至听了身体都会不舒服

idea：不改变

reason：因为热爱，人们对于一种事物的热情不会衰减【thepassionneverfades】

example：我的伯伯是个死忠的爵士粉【adiehardJazzfan】

sampleanswer:

3.HasChinesemusicbeeninfluencedbywesternmusic?

肯定有影响【definitely/absolutely】-全球化【globalization】不断推进，加之网络的推波助澜【withthehelpoftheinternet】，我国人民可以与世界人民同步【keepupwiththeglobaltrend】，有机会听到来自西方的音乐，影响是难以避免【inevitable】的，尤其是流行音乐-西方国家有很多才华横溢的【talented/gifted】音乐人，他们激励了【inspire】我国的音乐人，同时西方音乐在音乐类型，创意【creativity/innovation】，技术【techniques】等各方面都有很多值得我们学习的地方-当前国内的流行音乐深受西方影响【haveabigimpacton】，有很多西方音乐的元素【element】，比如像是饶舌【rap】。

雅思口语Decisionmaking话题

1.Whatskillsarenecessarywhenmakingdecisions?

关于decision-making的话题，以及关于skills的问题在part3当中并不算少见，所以同学们还是需要多加注意，平时要多多积累语料。

这个题目在回答的过程当中，同学们容易陷进skills的陷阱当中去，很多同学对于skills这个单词的理解非常的狭隘，认为只有技术性、技能性的才能叫做skills，其实，只要是和能力相关，只要是表示能做什么样的事情，都可以用skills这个词来表达。比如雅思听力当中就常常出现writingskills和studyskills这种表达，这个时候我们就不一定非要僵硬地把这个词组理解成写作/学习技能，而是直接说写作/学习能力更好一些。

更何况在一个雅思口语part3的答案中，流利的应对非常重要，相比较于花时间去纠结skills到底指的是什么，更明智的做法显然是联系decision-making的过程，描述这个当中需要的能力。

做决定的时候，我们需要搜集信息，需要跟他人沟通讨论，有时候甚至需要坚持自己的主张【assertmyopinions】或者控制情绪，这些都可以作为答案内容。

Makingdecisionsisacomplexprocess,whichmightinvolveagreatmanyskills.Forstarters,theabilityofcollectingfactsandfiguresisessential,becausethefirststepofmakingadecisionistogetawholeunderstandingoftherelevantinformation.Sometimes,weneedtobecomputer-literatetolookupinformationontheInternet.Secondly,weshallbeabletodosomedataanalysissothatwecanmakeawisedecision.Inaddition,weneedtokeepcalminside,evenwhenitisanurgentsituationandweareaskedtomakepromptdecisions,otherwisewemightdecideonsomethingandregretitquitesoon.Finally,agooddecision-makershouldbeabletocontrolhisownmoodandnevergetemotional,sincewearenotlikelytomakeagooddecisionwhenwearethrilled,furiousoranxious.Sotosumup,thereareplentyofnecessaryskillswhenmakingadecision.Sometimeswearenotevenawareofthem.

2.Howcanpeopleimprovetheirdecision-makingskills?

这个题目的回答思路其实还是比较广的，我们可以将此题和上一题联系起来【很多时候考官确实会把这样的两道题目连着问】，那么此时我们就应该从上一题的答案出发，具体讲解如何提高搜集信息的能力，如何提高分析数据的能力等等，这是一个思路;

另一方面我们可以考虑从宽泛的地方入手，讲一个放之四海而皆准的答案【比如今天的示范答案】，具体内容方面就是锻炼能力的通常途径：练习。考生不必担心这样放之四海而皆准的答案内容会不会让考官误以为在背答案，因为这个内容对应该问题并不牵强，同时还很实际。我们只要注意回答的时候要自然一些就好了。

3.DoparentsinChinaallowtheirchildrentomakeimportantdecisionsaboutthefuture?

这种中国/你们国家现状的问题其实是最好回答的，因为这样的现状一定是很复杂的，不能一概而论的。所以考生完全可以根据自己的回答特征和优势有选择性地給出答案。

比如这个题目，可以说yes，当然也可以说no，当然更可以说两者兼而有之，具体怎么操作，可以看考生擅长往哪个方面发挥。并且建议考生根据这种inyourcountry/inChina如何如何的题目，准备好一个框架，可以是itdependson，或者itvaries，接着说因为各地的情况、各个阶层的情况都不一样，最后再详细讲自己看到的、自己了解到的情况是怎样的，这样的答案层次感也比较好。
