在雅思的评分四大项中，第二项就是对词汇的把握。过度使用难词不可取，但是适时用上一两个好词也能起到画龙点睛之笔。但是同学们对背单词的困惑就是，我背了那么多难词，发现一到考试需要开口时就再次用回了自己那些基础单词，为什么呢?这是因为口头练习少了。每一个考试科目都是需要一定练习才熟能生巧的，口头上没有过练习，所以想用的时候自然就说不来了。雅思口语中常考谈论喜好类与差异类的问题，所以以这些问题中最常用的词汇为例，通过翻译和真题的方式，让大家把难词真正的使用起来，面对考官也能轻松说出词。
1.喜爱

have predilection for倾向于选择

我喜欢水上运动，因为可以看见神秘的海洋生物。(have predilection for)

考题：
Are you interested in art?
参考答案：
To be honest， I think art is a little bit monotonous for me. I mean it's hard for any viewer to give an accurate or exhaustive interpretation of the work done by the artist himself. So I am more intrigued in doing something I can fully understand and be good at，such as playing basketball.
Are you interested in history?
参考答案：
Frankly speaking， I feel uninterested in history because the history class in our high school was quite monotonous， the teacher only explained us some propositional knowledge(死记硬背的知识)， which was very tedious from my point of view.
3.种类
disparate=dissimilar不同

我和好朋友的喜好不一样。(disparate)
My friend and I have disparate hobbies.
老年人喜欢各种不同的活动与年轻人不同。(dissimilar)

Yes， they like disparate activities. For senior， they have penchant for square dance， singing and playing mahjong， while the youth like more exciting sports such as diving， bungee jumping and soon.
Is there a difference between the books men like to read and women like to read?
参考答案：
Yes， actually their likes are quite dissimilar. As for men， they are naturally more interested in detective novels and historical novels since they look for adventure and enlightenment. However for women， they are more intrigued in relationship and fantasy stories，so normally they like to read romantic novels or fantasy novels.
希望考生们通过这个方法正确学习并使用难词，在应对各种喜好类与差异类的考题时能灵活运用今天的知识点。Valete，discipuli et discipulae!
