第一部分10道问题
IELTS口语第一部分：朋友
一个引导你做比较的话题——老朋友与新朋友、密友与泛泛之交——而语法分就在这里。
它与家庭话题搭配出现，给考官第二个关系类话题，词汇却不同。它也会自然引出比较级，而不必明确要求。
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 many friends?
- How did you meet your closest friend?
- Do you prefer a large group of friends or a few close ones?
- How often do you see your friends?
- What do you usually do together?
- Is it easy to make friends in your country?
- Are your friends mostly your age?
- Do you keep in touch with friends from school?
- Is it important to have friends at work?
- Have your friendships changed as you've got older?
这个话题怎么答
- 利用“朋友少而精还是多而广”的问题建立一个之后可以反复使用的比较。这是这个话题里最有分量的问题。
- 把“how did you meet”当作一个带地点和时间的小故事来讲。三十秒，不要更长。
- 区分朋友和认识的人。单是这个区分就体现了7分级别的细腻。
- “changed as you got older”这个问题需要现在完成时。用上它。
这个话题适合用的词汇
a handful of close friends
精确的数量表达，措辞自然
we hit it off
用于一见如故
an acquaintance
表明你能给友谊分层级的词
keep in touch
以及“lose touch”——两者在这里都必不可少
we go back years
用于长久的友谊
catch up
表示隔一段时间后重聚的准确动词
这里最容易丢分的地方
把认识的每个人都叫朋友，让整个话题变得扁平。
分出层级：密友、朋友、同事、泛泛之交。分级既给你词汇，也给你可以比较的东西。
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 many friends?
Not many, in the sense that I could count them, but the ones I have I've had a long time. I'm not very good at the wide social circle thing — I'd rather see three people properly than fifteen briefly. Most of them I met either at university or through climbing.为什么有效先重新界定问题再回答，这比报一个数字更高明。
How do you usually meet new people?
Almost entirely through doing something rather than through socialising directly. I climb twice a week and you end up in conversation with strangers about a particular route without either of you having decided to be sociable. I find that much easier than a party, where the only thing to do is talk.为什么有效用一种机制解释偏好，与聚会的对比让回答有了形状。
Is it easy to make friends in your country?
Reasonably, when you're young and in institutions — school, university, a first job. Much harder afterwards, I think, and that's not specific to here. Once everyone's schedules are fixed, friendship requires actual effort rather than proximity, and a lot of people including me are bad at that.为什么有效按人生阶段加以限定，谨慎地概括，并把自己也纳入批评之中。
