在众多雅思口语part 1和part 3的one-on-one问题当中, 大部分考生会觉得谈论学习,朋友等话题较为轻松;而关于社会类的话题却有些举步维艰。这种情况出现的原因在于:考生可能之前已经学习过与前者相关的表达,但是对于后者很少思考或者谈论,现实生活中相关经历较少,所以不知道从何“下口”,,看到题脑中其实没有什么思路。今天就以一个典型的社会类考题为例,从这种现象的社会背景,2个影响因素以及问题中出现的两个主要对象入手,将题目有效拆分,按照步骤更清晰,更有条理的解答类似难题。
题目:Why do Chinese parents like to buy houses for their future generation?
考生常见思路:
步首先肯定中国父母会给下一代买房,第二步说明原因,指出是中国传统观念,再指出买房后的结果,即下一代就有房子可以住了。
这样回答不能很好的解答考官心中的疑虑:下一代已经自己工作了,应该具备购买能力了呀?再者传统观念也不是强制性的,有些家长也不一定就会遵循传统观念。所以需要考生向考官解释影响家长做出这个决定的背景情况(background information) , 然后指出影响因素(traditional value and requirement of household register) 以及下一代购房时遇到的困难(下一代的角度。)
Background information:
Despite government's different practices of tightening controls on the housing price and sales market, most citizens are facing a soaring property price, intensifying the already vexing problem for the young people who seek to purchase a new home.
Parents perspective:
The traditional value of buying house for the offspring is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, along with the harsh fact that a newly born baby can only have her household register if her young parents have a property certificate under their name, drives the senior to buy a house for their offspring.
Offspring perspective:
For them, the ratio of monthly mortgage to income has reached almost a record high.Even with them working day and night, it’s impossible to payoff the down payment and mortgage.
参考回答:
Well, I've heard that the government has practiced several tightening controls on the housing price and sales market, but we are still seeing that most citizens are actually facing a soaring property price, and it has become a vexing problem for young people who seek to purchase a new home.In addition, the traditional value of buying house for the offspring is deeply rooted in Chinese culture,along with the fact that a newly born baby can only have her household register and receive education if her young parents have a property certificate under their name, drives the senior to buy a house for their offspring.On top of this, the ratio of monthly mortgage to income has reached almost a record high.Even with the young working day and night, it's impossible to pay off the down payment and mortgage.All those 3 factors I would say are the impetus for parents to buy houses for their future generation.
社会类问题的讨论常需要考生学会分析导致某种现象的原因,从主体对象,尤其是行为的发出者角度进行解释,希望考生们通过今天的学习了解社会类题目的分析方法,并运用到社会类问题的解答中。
