雅思口语话题之种类问题

口语老师教你摆脱蹦单词的窘境，教你如何流利地说出有逻辑的句子。

很多学生在被问到关于种类的问题时尤其喜欢蹦这一相关事物的单词，却完全不顾句式、结构和语法。比如，大部分考生当被问到“你家都有些什么人啊”这样的问题时，喜欢回答道“啊，我家很多人的，爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆、舅舅、舅妈、叔叔、伯伯、婶婶、爸爸、妈妈还有我们家的狗”……就差没把三姑六婆也请出来了@.@。这样的回答肯定不是考官们想听到的答案，对不？下面咱们再来看一个英文的例子。
Example：
"Tell me about the different types of public transportation in your city.”
I presume many candidates would answer in this way:
"In my city there are many types of public transportation, for example, buses, taxis, automobiles, trains, planes, subways and minibuses."
这样的回答过分侧重于回答内容的本身，只是简单罗列，但无法显示考生的真实语言水平，完全没有语法的变化性和准确性(Grammatical Range and Accuracy)可言。那当我们遇到这种类型的问题该怎么回答呢？

步：泛泛而谈
Opening phrase:

Well, actually...
Of course, you know...
Sure, obviously...
Ok, certainly...

Following by:

...there's quite a mixed variety of...
...there's quite a wide range of...
...there's quite a diverse mixture of...
...there's a fairly broad range of...

So the opening could be like this:
Of course, you know there's quite a mixed variety of public transportation in my city

第二步：找典型、举例子

Next introduce the most typical type:

But I guess the most adj. would probably be...
However, I suppose the most adj. could possibly be...
Though I think the most adj. would potentially be...
Yet I imagine the most adj. may well be...
Well, I suppose the most adj. could perhaps be...

Add details:

I assume the buses are so adj. because...
And the explanation for this could be that...
The reason why …is that…

Complete answer of first part:

Well, I think the most commonly-used transport in my city would potentially be the subway, because they are really efficient and reliable. If you are in a hurry then I guess the subway is the best choice since there will be no traffic jams and things like that."
