work or studies

毫无例外地，work or studies保持着每年甚至每场必问的高频率。其实询问关于工作和学习的状况一直被看作是正式考试前的一个必经步骤，是考官正式开始对话前的一个铺垫。同时，这也是考官决定将要在接下来的时间里问你哪些话题而不问哪些话题的一个指示灯。换言之，如果你是工作人士，考官自然不会过多地把话题主动涉及到喜欢的学科和学校等，而是更多地关注生活和工作等方面。如果你是一个高中生，考官也不会刻意去问你关于员工福利、加班工作等问题。但是我们要意识到一点，作为整场考试的一个开端，它决定了考官对你的第一印象。夸张点说，考生一张嘴，考官就默默地在心里开始给你打分了。所以严肃认真对待第一部分的第一个话题是每个考生的任务。由于每一类话题的题量较多，我们只选择其中一部分题目进行分析。

q1: what work do you do?

a: i’m working as an accountant in a private company now and i have been in this position for more than two years. besides, it’s actually my first job.

q2: why did you choose to do that type of work?

a: well, accounting was my major in university and it seems natural to be an accountant. more importantly, i love this major and, of course, this work, because it’s actually rewarding, particularly when we, all accountants, wrap up the year-end financial statement. it’s like i’ve done a huge work that significantly affects the whole company.

第一部分的题目简单回答就好，三四句话左右最佳。只答一句使对话显得不流畅不自然，答得太多又显得刻意。所以我们一般三句话左右能把问题答完，也能补充点细节使对话可以继续下去。关于工作的题目基本上是比较固定的，无非是询问工作类型、工作内容、工作场所和选择这份工作的原因等，考生根据实际情况回答即可。

下面我们再来看一下关于学习的问题：

q1: what subject are you studying?

a: （高中生）i’m studying a range of subjects like maths, chemistry, biology and english, and i like most of them, particularly maths. every time i work out a hard question, i can feel greatly rewarded.

a:（大学生）well,my major is management accounting,so i learn a lot of subjects related to management like fundamental accounting for management decisions and so on.

q2: do you prefer to study in the mornings or in the afternoons?

a: i definitely prefer to study in the mornings because my mind is clear and i can easily stay focused with a clear mind. however, if i study in the afternoon, particularly after half-day work or other activities,i can hardly put myself completely in study bacause i feel exhausted.

关于学习的问题大多是关于学科、专业、喜好程度、学习习惯等。考生们根据自己的实际情况来答题，中学生和大学生们要适当选择自己所学的科目并配合自己的喜好来回答相应题目，但是要注意尽量不要在评论学科时只给出消极因素，比如学科太无聊，也要说说学科的好，比如实用、锻炼思考能力等。

home or accommadation

本话题可以算是除了工作学习之外的第二大经典高频题，全国各个考场每年每场考到的次数也相当多，对于考生居住的场所类型、时间、周围环境等进行提问。这里我们选择三个相对来说比较高频的题目来进行分析。

q1: what kind of housing do you live in? /do you live in a house or a flat?

a: i live in a flat with my parents now and we have been living in this flat for almost ten years.

a: now i live in a dorm with another five girls in university. we are all good friends and most of the time we eat together and have classes at the same time, so it’s really nice living in a dorm.

q2: are the transport facilities to your home very good?

a: i would say yes. there are several buses coming to my home and i can reach quite a lot most-visited places in my city. also, there a subway line going near my home so i can catch the subway on conditions of rainy or snowy days.

q3: what part of your home do you like the most?

a: my bedroom is obviously my favourite. it’s like my own little world where i can enjoy my privacy and time completely. i do assignments and enjoy movies at my desk, play my guitar near my windows, and when i’m tired, i just lie in bed and read a novel. it offers me peace so i fancy my bedroom most.

这几个题考生们在回答的过程中要注意结合实际经验，把自己真正做过的事和感受一并描述出来，这样更贴近生活，让你的答案听起来更易理解和感同身受，而不是那么生硬。

hometown

作为每年每场必问的第三高频话题，hometown不出意料的占领着第一部分话题的三甲。这个话题多是关于考生的家乡基本状况，考生对于家乡的喜好评价等。我们选出三个最常问的问题，来一起分析该如何回答相关问题

q1: what’s your hometown?

a: my hometown is qingdao, a coastal city in the east of shandong province. i was born there and i have lived there for the first ten years of my life.

q2: is it a big city or a small city?

a: i would say it’s a big city, but not that big like beijing or shanghai. it’s a quite chic and cool city because you can spot architectures in german style and typical chinese buildings at the same time. it’s a rather unique experience visiting different parts of qingdao as you may experience different cultures and times, which you can’t have in many other cities.

q3: is there anything you dislike about it?

a: yes, there is. it’s the traffic that bothers me lot. i’m not saying that there’s much traffic. i’m saying that there are countless one-way streets in city, in outskirt, in everywhere. people like me who are not familiar with these streets break traffic rules, and apparently are fined several times a day just because of those one-way streets. so i really think that relevant authorities should re-consider the rules.

首先介绍家乡时简单两三句交待出家乡是哪，大概在哪个方位即可，不必把家乡的特征都罗列出来。关于家乡是大城市还是小城市言之成理即可，然后考生可以把城市的一大特点描述出来使答案更生动更具体，听起来不枯燥。关于不喜欢家乡的地方，考生可以随意列举，但重点是不能只进行简单的罗列，最好是选取一个点进行详细论述，这样既有重点也有细节，具有高分答案的潜质。
