IELTS口语第一部分：音乐
人人都有答案，几乎人人给的也是同一个答案——报个曲风名称就没了。
音乐是普遍话题，不需要专业知识，能让考官在低压力的情境中听到偏好表达和一点描述。
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。
- What kind of music do you like?
- When do you usually listen to music?
- Has your taste in music changed over the years?
- Do you play any instruments?
- Did you learn music at school?
- Do you prefer live music or recordings?
- Is traditional music popular in your country?
- Do you listen to music while you work or study?
- Have you ever been to a concert?
- Does music affect how you feel?
这个话题怎么答
- 说出一位歌手或一首歌，而不只是曲风。这是类别和答案之间的区别。
- 把听音乐和一个场景联系起来——通勤、做饭、学习。情境能生出句子。
- “Has your taste changed”是这个话题里最好的问题：过去与现在，一个回答里全有。
- 如果你不演奏乐器也没学过，就直说，然后转到你听什么。一个简短诚实的“no”加上转向，完全没问题。
这个话题适合用的词汇
I'm into
描述音乐品味，非正式且自然
upbeat
以及“mellow”——大多数考生从不会想到用的两个形容词
it grew on me
用于随时间培养出来的品味
background music
用于做其他事时听的音乐
a wide range of
表示品味广泛，又不必说“all kinds”
it puts me in a good mood
回答心情类问题的具体答案
这里最容易丢分的地方
说“I like all kinds of music”。
这是这个话题里最常见的回答，而且什么也没说。说出两种你真正在听的曲风，以及一种你受不了的。
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。
What kind of music do you like?
Fairly wide, but the thing I keep returning to is old jazz — a lot of piano trios. I like music where you can hear people responding to each other in real time. I go through phases with everything else and that one has been constant for about ten years.为什么有效用一种特质来解释偏好，而不是报出曲风就停下。
Do you play any instruments?
I played the guitar badly for years and stopped, and I've recently started again with a teacher, which I should have done originally. The difference between practising and just playing the things you can already play turns out to be the entire thing. I'm worse than I was at nineteen and improving much faster.为什么有效干净利落地处理了三个时间段，并落到一个关于学习的真实洞见上。
Has your taste in music changed?
Quite a lot, and mostly by subtraction. I listen to far fewer things than I did at twenty but I listen to them much more closely. I suspect that's just what happens — you stop wanting novelty and start wanting depth, or you get lazy and tell yourself it's depth.为什么有效“Mostly by subtraction”很精确，结尾的自我怀疑是背不出来的东西。
