IELTS口语第一部分：家庭
容易谈，也容易答得太短，因为这些问题都有一个词就能打发的明显答案。
人人都能回答，能反映文化差异，还能让考官早早听到关系类词汇和频率表达。
你可能会被问到的问题
问题会一个接一个快速抛出，考官不会点评你的回答。先大声读出来，每题用两三句话回答，然后再看下面的答题方法。
- Do you have a large family?
- Who are you closest to?
- Do you see your relatives often?
- Do you spend much time with your family at weekends?
- Are families in your country usually large or small?
- Do you look like anyone in your family?
- Did your family influence what you decided to study?
- Do you prefer spending time with family or friends?
- Is there a family member you would like to know better?
- How has family life changed in your country?
这个话题怎么答
- 给出人数和结构——“there are five of us, two older sisters”——而不是“yes, quite large”。
- 频率表达是这里暗藏的考点。其中好几个问题都在问多久一次；变换你的说法。
- “has family life changed”这个问题偏向第三部分。回答得比其他问题更宏观一些，考官会注意到你有这个能力。
- 一个小故事就够了。这是第一部分，不是长篇独白。
这个话题适合用的词汇
there are five of us
描述家庭规模的自然结构
we're a close-knit family
准确的固定搭配
take after
用于像某位亲戚——“I take after my mother”
every other weekend
精确的频率表达，比“sometimes”更好
extended family
统称叔伯姑姨和堂表亲
we're in touch most days
用于不见面但保持经常联系
这里最容易丢分的地方
用“yes”回答“do you have a large family?”。
这个话题的每个问题都长得像是非题，但没有一个想要是或否。先回答，再给出人数、理由或例子。
其中三道题的8分回答
读这些是为了看回答的形态，而不是背词句——两三句话，附上一个理由或例子。细节都是虚构的，你的回答应该讲你自己的；考官听得出背诵的答案，这让你失去的比得到的更多。
Do you have a large family?
Fairly large by the standards here — I have two brothers and a sister, and my mother is one of six, so there are a lot of cousins. We're not all close, but there's a group of about eight of us in the same generation who are, and we have a group chat that is almost entirely arguing about football.为什么有效用比较而不是单纯一个数字来回答，而群聊的细节让它显得真实。
Do you spend a lot of time with your family?
Less than I'd like since I moved, which is the honest answer. I call my parents every Sunday, and I see my sister more often because she's an hour away. I make a point of going home for a week in the summer, which is the only time everyone's actually in one place.为什么有效“Less than I'd like”是一个诚实的开头，避开了陈词滥调，频率表达又给了它具体的结构。
Who are you closest to in your family?
My sister, and it wasn't always the case — we fought constantly until she was about twenty. Something shifted when we both moved out and stopped competing for the same things. She's the person I'd ring if something went badly wrong, which I think is the real test of it.为什么有效讲述了随时间发生的变化，并用一个检验标准而不是形容词来定义亲密。
第一部分的其他话题
用说话的速度回答这些问题
Oliver会像真正的考官那样问第一部分的问题——很快，没有反应，你还没想好就进入下一题。光读这些问题可不是同样的练习。第一次测试免费。
