IELTS口语第一部分：睡眠与日常作息
一个日常作息话题，几乎完全靠频率副词和时间表达撑起——而这恰恰是它考查的内容。
它的内容完全可以预测，这让考官可以专心去听你如何运用习惯性表达和时间指称。
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 time do you usually go to bed?
- Do you get enough sleep?
- Do you sleep well?
- Are you a morning person or a night person?
- Do you ever take naps?
- Has your sleep pattern changed over the years?
- What do you do if you cannot sleep?
- Do you use an alarm?
- Is your routine different at weekends?
- Do people in your country get enough sleep?
这个话题怎么答
- 不等被问就主动对比工作日和周末。这让话题内容翻倍，并表明你能同时处理两种习惯模式。
- 变换频率表达——“usually”、“tend to”、“more often than not”、“hardly ever”、“the odd time”。
- “Has it changed”用现在完成时，并引出“I used to”。两者都值得说一句。
- “if you cannot sleep”这个问题是条件句。就用条件句回答。
这个话题适合用的词汇
a night owl
以及“an early bird”——这个话题就是为这对固定搭配而存在的
I'm shattered
英式非正式说法，表示筋疲力尽
drop off
表示入睡的短语动词
a lie-in
用于睡懒觉，特指周末
on and off
用于睡眠断断续续
I'm not at my best in the morning
含蓄而自然
这里最容易丢分的地方
五个回答都以“usually”开头。
频率就是这个话题的全部意义。如果你从头到尾重复一个副词，无论内容多准确，你都没通过它要测的那一项。
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。
How many hours do you usually sleep?
About seven on a good night, which is less than I should and more than I did a few years ago. I'm much stricter about when I go to bed than I used to be — the getting up was never the problem, the eleven o'clock decision to watch one more thing was.为什么有效精确地指出真正的问题所在，这比数字更有意思。
Do you take naps during the day?
Rarely, and I wish I could. I've tried and I wake up feeling considerably worse than before, which people tell me means I'm sleeping too long. My father can sleep for twenty minutes in a chair and wake up entirely restored, and I find it slightly infuriating.为什么有效与父亲的比较很具体，让回答有了展开的方向。
Has your sleep changed as you have got older?
It's got less flexible. At twenty I could sleep at any hour and recover from a bad night in one go, and now a late night costs me two days. The amount hasn't changed much. What's changed is how little margin there is around it.为什么有效区分了睡眠的多少和灵活性，而“how little margin there is”是一个精确的表述。

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。
