2020年5-8月 雅思口语 Part 3 Topic 2 教你重要道理的人

1. What do you think is the best age for children to go to school?

I think children should start schooling （学校教育）as early as possible as children are never too young to learn. So, sending a child to school at the age of 4 is much better than if they start later when they are 5 or 6. If a child starts education early then they will be ahead of （领先）everyone else in their class when they are older. So, there is no downside （缺）点）to starting a child’s education as early as possible.

2. Do you prefer to study by yourself or with your friends?

Personally, I prefer studying by myself than studying with my friends. I find that when I am studying alone, I am very efficient and productive. This means I get a lot of work done and learn a lot. When I study with friends, I find that they can be very distracting and then I do not feel like studying anymore. Studying is most effective when there are no distractions around you. So, I prefer to study alone.

3. What quality do you think a good teacher should have?

I think the most important quality for a teacher to have is to be understanding and empathetic （善解人意）. leaching is a difficult job and it can be very hard to get children to listen and concentrate when they are in class. Therefore, empathetic and understanding teachers are far better at communicating with children and getting them to focus. When children focus, they learn more, therefore this is important. Thus, I think all teachers should be empathetic people.

4. Who do you think can learn better? Old people or youngsters?

I think that young people are better at learning than old people. I believe this because young people are very curious and excited to learn new things. There is so much that they still have to learn so they find learning enjoyable and do it energetically. In contrast, older people often feel like they have learnt enough already and so do not need to learn new things. This can make older people difficult learners.
