——讓“女人”的思維來占領(lǐng)你

**近網(wǎng)上流行一副圖，說是“男人”和“女人”思維上的區(qū)別，讓我們來看看關(guān)于挑選洗發(fā)水“男人”和“女人”分別是怎么想的。
可見“女人”對洗發(fā)水有著精確的分類，而“男人”以其一貫的五大三粗?jǐn)∠玛噥?。我們這里說的“女人”指的是一種細(xì)膩全面的思維。細(xì)致的分類就擴(kuò)充出來更多的考慮因素，而對洗發(fā)水加以條件的限制就會得到精確的篩選結(jié)果。從產(chǎn)品本身出發(fā)，“女人”眼里的洗發(fā)水有效果（保濕、修復(fù)等）、品牌、氣味、包裝、質(zhì)量等方面的區(qū)別，從用戶體驗(yàn)的角度出發(fā)，又有了解途徑（朋友介紹、網(wǎng)上認(rèn)識，廣告等）、受歡迎度、網(wǎng)友評論等區(qū)別，“男人”大呼：“居然還有這么多分類方法？！”
是的，這樣的擴(kuò)充分類方法正是我們在口語考試當(dāng)中需要用到的思路。對于烤鴨聽到的一個問題，只有進(jìn)行合理的擴(kuò)充，才能給出一份條理清晰、內(nèi)容豐富的答案。今天就讓朗閣海外考試研究中心的老師帶大家來看看我們有哪些對策來擴(kuò)展口語答案。
對策一：It depends 分情況討論法
話題：How do people in China feel about old buildings?
解析：首先我們可以用建筑的不同用途來對舊建筑進(jìn)行分類，出于不同的目的，人們對舊建筑的態(tài)度和感受也就不一樣。一般來說，姜是老的辣，酒是陳的香，所以有經(jīng)典風(fēng)格的建筑是會受到政府以及群眾的保護(hù)的；而商品樓或是住宅樓則會隨著時代變遷日新月異地更新下去。此理放諸四海而皆準(zhǔn)，但要切題，不要忘記在答案中加上in China或者是in my countries這樣的同義替換。
Different purposes:
—commercial use, residential buildings
—historical meaning
參考答案：
Well, people might think differently in different situations. For instance, if the buildings have been used for commercial purpose in a long term, like shopping malls or residential buildings, then people in China will tend to put it down after it gets old. Because it might not satisfy the businessman’s needs any more. On the contrary, the out-of-date buildings are more likely to hinder the further development of a company. However, those buildings with historical meanings will probably be treasured by Chinese people. The government, as well, will also try their best to protect the old valuable buildings. The ancient ones can either be conserved for academic research or be opened for visitation.
對策二：Separate into different parts 分層法
話題：How do people in China feel about old buildings?
解析：同樣是剛才這個題目，如果按照分層法來把主體人分為不同的層次，那么我們又會得到不同的答案。例如按照人的年齡來分，年輕人和年長者對舊建筑的看法又是有所不同的。大多數(shù)年輕人是喜歡追求時尚的、西化的、現(xiàn)代的東西，對于建筑也是一樣；而對于年長者來說，舊事物更有懷念的價值，是他們**為珍惜的東西。
Different ages:
—the young, be keen on fashionable and modern buildings
—the old, like things to stay the same
參考答案：
Well, it depends. You know, people of different age have different tastes about buildings. Young people, who chase after fashionable and modern things, have little passion for the old building. Because they think it’s out of date and therefore they prefer to go to all those advanced and multi-functional buildings rather than visit the old and less developed ones. For the old, on the contrary, old buildings carry lots of memories, which they cherish more than anything. They find it so difficult to move out from a place where they have spent most of their life.
對策三：Opinions and details 觀點(diǎn)加細(xì)節(jié)
話題：Is it important to preserve old buildings? Why?
解析：這個問題并不適合分類討論和分層的方法，一開始我們就要給出直截了當(dāng)?shù)膟es or no的回答。然后繼續(xù)擴(kuò)充我們的思路來回答why的提問。在雅思考試當(dāng)中我們傾向于給出積極的答案，所以這里肯定的回答是**，然后從文化、藝術(shù)、國家軟實(shí)力各個方面分述原因，補(bǔ)充相應(yīng)的細(xì)節(jié)。
Yes.
—respect the traditional culture
—a form of art
—a country’s soft power
參考答案：
Yes, I believe so. First of all, the old buildings represent the traditional culture of our country. (Opinion1) We can learn more about our history by enjoying the ancient architecture. (detail) Also, the old buildings are a marvelous form of art. (Opinion2) They enable us to learn more about architecture and its different styles. (detail) Besides, the old building shows a country’s soft power. (Opinion3) It makes our country more competitive in the world. (detail)
對策四：Personal experience 個人經(jīng)歷
話題：Do you think you were more creative when you were young?
解析：當(dāng)問及跟個人有關(guān)的信息時，烤鴨們就可以放心大膽地打資歷牌了，把個人經(jīng)歷經(jīng)過加工呈現(xiàn)到考官面前。人小的時候不諳世事，認(rèn)知范圍也有限，但想象力豐富，不受現(xiàn)實(shí)的左右和束縛所以更有創(chuàng)意一些，長大了之后想法就變得更加實(shí)際，思維也會相應(yīng)受阻，創(chuàng)造力也會下降。
Yes.
—rich imagination, dream to be a scientist, an astronaut, a doctor and so on.
—more practical, more understanding and knowledge of the world.
參考答案：Yes, I think so. （先明確自己的觀點(diǎn)）When I was still a child, I have rich and even wild imagination. （開始陳述幼年時的人生經(jīng)歷）Once I dreamed to be a scientist so that I can invent new robot to replace workers in the factories. I also imagined being a female astronaut one day, sailing in the space and maybe never come back. There were many other wild dreams which were various and creative. But as I grow older, I began to think otherwise.（此處開始轉(zhuǎn)折，進(jìn)入less creative的人生經(jīng)歷） I have become more practical now, because I have got more understanding of the world. Now I know myself better than before. I know what I can do and what I can’t. And everything I do now is done for a reason. Sometimes I can’t even choose the life I like, let alone lead a creative life. So when I was young my world is still filled with creative and fantastic ideas. But not now, not any more.（**后總結(jié)句，重申一下自己的觀點(diǎn)，也可不加）
希望烤鴨們在口語考試中，女生能夠發(fā)揮“女人”的優(yōu)勢，男生能夠發(fā)揮“男人的一半是女人”的優(yōu)勢，用女性細(xì)膩充實(shí)的思路來答題。生活可以簡化，但雅思口語考試，請?jiān)敱M作答。
