IELTS口语第一部分：科技与手机
引导你表达观点，这在第一部分并不常见——而平衡的观点比热情的观点得分更高。
它紧贴当下，每个人都有直接经验，能让考官在第三部分真正要求观点之前，先听到一些轻度的观点表达。
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。
- How often do you use your phone?
- What do you mainly use it for?
- Could you manage without it for a day?
- Do you think people spend too much time on their phones?
- How old were you when you got your first phone?
- Do you use a computer for work or study?
- Has technology made your life easier?
- Do you learn to use new technology quickly?
- Do you worry about your personal information online?
- What technology would you find hardest to give up?
这个话题怎么答
- 说出具体用途而不是类别：在陌生街道上看地图、转账、周日给妈妈打电话。
- “too much time”这个问题需要一个带让步的观点。“Probably, though I'd say it depends what they're doing”就是典型的7分回答形状。
- “How old were you”用一般过去时，是一小段自传。就把它当自传来讲。
- 给出一个真实的缺点。对科技一味热情听起来像背的。
这个话题适合用的词汇
glued to my phone
地道且有自知之明
at my fingertips
用于即时获取信息
I'd be lost without it
自然地表达依赖
a time sink
用于白白消耗时间的东西
pick it up quickly
用于轻松学会新科技
cut down on screen time
贴近当下且精确
这里最容易丢分的地方
通篇只谈社交媒体。
考官问的是你用它做什么。地图、银行、购票、闹钟、音乐、翻译——这些无聊的用途比那个显而易见的用途能带出更好的词汇。
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 often do you use a computer?
All day, unfortunately — my job is entirely on one, and then I go home and read on a screen and it's a computer too. I've started deliberately doing one thing a day that doesn't involve one, usually cooking or walking, and I notice the difference on the days I don't manage it.为什么有效自我修正“and it's a computer too”正是考官想听到的那种边说边想。
Is technology important in your daily life?
Completely, which I think is uninteresting to say and hard to avoid. The more useful answer is that the technology I depend on most is boring — a calendar, a map, a messaging app. The exciting things I've mostly abandoned within a month.为什么有效否定了显而易见的答案，再给出一个更好的。在平淡的问题上，这是有力的一招。
Do you think technology has made life easier?
Easier in most specific ways and not obviously better overall. Individual tasks are enormously faster than they were for my parents. What's also happened is that the expectation of how many tasks you'll do has risen to fill it, so nobody I know feels like they have more time.为什么有效区分了“更容易”和“更好”，并用一种机制加以支撑，已接近第三部分的语域。
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。
