　　雅思口語Part 3的難度本身就是三個部分中最難的一個，考官一般會就考生第二部分的回答進行深入提問。既然叫深入提問，那當(dāng)然就會是一些相對而言比較深奧的考題。這些考題對于考生的知識面和思維能力都有一定的要求，更為讓考生頭痛的是，本來用中文來進行深入的探討以屬不易，更何況還要用英文來表述這些有深度的思想!所以考生通常談第三部分而色變，有人甚至對第三部分都不去做任何的復(fù)習(xí)，只一味聽天由命。但是第三部分的考題是一個考生真正能夠拿高分的關(guān)鍵，對于那些要分較高，希望能夠進入一些排名較好的的考生而言，第三部分的考題才是讓自己脫穎而出的關(guān)鍵。

　　雅思第三部分的考題，從出題類型上來看有十個類型：原因論述、情況對比、時間對比、事物利弊、預(yù)測未來、場景演練、解決問題、影響效果、方式方法、觀點詢問。這十類考題的難度都不可小覷，每一個類型都代表著一種回答思路，也對應(yīng)著一些相應(yīng)的句型。所以，在這里，朗閣海外考試研究中心的專家將和大家一起來探討一下雅思第三部分的考題，并以十道最難考題為例，來給大家做一下分析。

　　1. 原因論述類考題：

　　在回答這種類型的考題時，我們要首先搞清問題的重點，且一定要緊扣此重點，不能游離出去。而且我們可以將考題的中心名詞進行分類，從細分出的小類別出發(fā)去探尋原因，這樣，思路就能更加開闊，更能做到有話可說。比如下面這道題：

　　◆ What is the reason why family members do not eat together anymore?

　　在這一題中，中心考點名詞是family members，那么我們就可以對其做一個breakdown，家庭成員分孩子，成年人和老人，他們都會有自己身不由己，無法和家人共同進餐的不同原因，至此，考題就可從不同層次得到解答。那么在論述的過程中就一定會非常高頻的出現(xiàn)一些因果的表達法，如because, due to, owing to, the reason why…is that…, contribute to, lead to, give rise to, be attributed to, result from等。

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} One primary reason why families do not eat together anymore is that their work schedules are different from each other. Young people would prefer to spend more time with their friends so they come home very late at night. This is because when they were small, their parents spent most of their time working that they have no time to be with their kids to guide them. Differences in opinions and characters plus financial difficulties often are the causes of fights among husbands and wives.

　　2. 情況對比類考題：

　　應(yīng)對這種考題，朗閣海外考試研究中心建議考生首先要找出所對比的兩者是什么，隨即對兩者的劣勢和優(yōu)勢進行討論，這類題目說穿了就是對于正反兩面的討論。因此，經(jīng)常用到的詞就有advantages, benefits, merits, upsides, plus points, disadvantages, drawbacks, downsides, minus points等。下面這道考題就是一個很好的例子。

　　◆ Should women stay at home or go out to look for jobs?

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} Women deserve as much rights to work as men. Given growing financial burden on an ordinary family and tough competition among job seekers, an extra source of income in the family would definitely mean a lot. However, contrary to what we may expect, many women now are actually pursuing the kind of life as a full-time housewife which only has been re-interpreted by modern women to mean relaxing, hassle-free and enjoyable life without lots of work in hand.

　　3. 時間對比

　　有些考題要求考生就一個問題的過去和現(xiàn)在分別進行論述并進行比較，這類題目就是時間對比類考題。對于這類考題，考生首先要注意在談?wù)撨^去的狀況時要使用一般過去時，千萬不能出現(xiàn)時態(tài)使用混亂的狀況。此外，考生還需要將重點放在變化上。且通常過去和現(xiàn)在的狀況反差較為強烈，所以需要使用轉(zhuǎn)折連接詞，如however, nevertheless, while, whereas等。比如下面這道考題曾經(jīng)就難倒過一大批的考生：

　　◆ Explain different attitudes towards marriage between people in the past and now

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} Well, this is also the kind of problem I am going to deal with probably for a couple of years to come. In the past, people, women in particular, generally revolved their life around giving birth and raising children. However people now are no longer seeing marriage and family as their only thing in life. With the availability of a wide range of entertainment parlors, young people prefer to enjoy their carefree life as a single person before they have to take a lot of responsibilities as a married one.

　　4. 事物利弊

　　事物的利弊是在這一章里面所分析的所有可能在雅思口語第三部分所出現(xiàn)的題目類型里面可以說是考察最為頻繁的一種題目。它的答題思路和寫作Task 2的考題非常的相似，但是我們對于這種題目的熟悉程度較高并不意味著這些考題對我們來說就是很容易給出出色解答的。因為口語考題的思考時間較短，我們必須要在很短的時間內(nèi)搜索出足夠量的ideas才可以過關(guān)，而我們通?？梢詮纳鐣?、經(jīng)濟、文化、環(huán)境、教育、政治、心理、健康等方面去搜尋ideas，這種搜尋方法而是要在平時多加練習(xí)的。比如下面這道考題就分別從健康和經(jīng)濟方面的好處進行了探討。

　　◆ What are the advantages of people living in tourist attractions?

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} Well, the advantages for people who live in tourist attractions are pretty evident. For a starter, compared with cities where the pollution is getting unstoppably worse, life at tourist attractions is definitely good for health. Besides, the people there can make loads of money on tourism industry and a number of related industries like serving food in restaurants, selling souvenirs to tourists, among many others.

　　5. 預(yù)測未來

　　對于這類問題，朗閣海外考試研究中心建議考生首先應(yīng)當(dāng)注意時態(tài)的問題，一般會以將來時或虛擬語態(tài)為主。而且考試不能天馬行空般的堆砌內(nèi)容，而是要有事實依據(jù)的進行預(yù)測。雖然題目是要求考生展開對未來的展望，但是考生們應(yīng)該根據(jù)現(xiàn)實的情況進行引申，對未來的預(yù)測的內(nèi)容進行足夠的原因的闡述。比如下面這道考題就是一個很好的例子。

　　◆ What should the government do to curb global warming?

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} Our planet is plagued with tons of environmental problems. Among them, global warming proves to be the most pressing environmental issue and frankly speaking, is, as we all can see, threatening every bit of our life. Hence, in my personal opinion, the government should assume primary responsibility to curb global warming and the most viable measure would be to cut it off at the source, which means the government has to come up with ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide discharged into the atmosphere. For instance, exhaust gas emitted is held largely accountable for the acceleration of global warming.

　　6. 場景演練

　　場景演練這類題目在雅思口語考試第三部分中考察的頻率相對較低，但此類題目所帶來的變化會非常的多。所謂場景演練就是考官現(xiàn)場給學(xué)生設(shè)置一個虛擬的場景，然后要求考生將自己置身其中來處理一些問題。這類考題出題相當(dāng)靈活，因此提前做好準(zhǔn)備的難度較高，需要依靠臨場發(fā)揮。那么，考生就需要能夠靈活的利用各種各樣的答題技巧從而應(yīng)對此類的題目，其中ideas的搜尋仍然是最為重要的一個技巧，這個我們在第四點中已有論述。而下面這道題的答題就是從文化和健康方面進行作答的。

　　◆ Let’s say you are in charge of selection process of the volunteers for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, what are you really looking in all the candidates?

　　{原創(chuàng)范例} Well, if I were to be in charge of the selection process of prospective volunteers for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, I’d probably be looking for a number of qualities in potential candidates. First, it’d be necessary if one could speak multiple languages. It’s understood that volunteers are expected to work with foreigners that may come from all over the world and it would be a big problem if there was a communication breakdown. Second, physical condition is another factor to be taken into consideration. The job requires volunteers to run around in the stadium for, perhaps, 8 hours in a row. Therefore, if one doesn’t have the strength and stamina needed, he or she should be crossed off the list.

　　7. 解決問題

　　問題解決類的考題一般較難，這類考題通常要求考生對一個社會問題提出一些可行的解決方案，這對那些沒有什么社會經(jīng)驗的學(xué)生來說是一個很大的挑戰(zhàn)。那
