  劍橋雅思15 Test 1的口語Part 1 + 2詳解

  6月3日晚9點45分，新航道李軒老師拿到了劍橋15的完全版的PDF，立刻展開了對口語部分的詳解。

  我們從Test 1的Part 1和2盤起

  (明天盤Part 3)

  Email這個話題并不“新穎”，在雅思口語題庫中最近出現的時間是2019年1月 -- 4月。在劍13中，Test2 - Part1中的Social media與這個Email也是屬于同一類話題。隨著每個季度話題的變化，我們可以發現唯一不變的話題就是“網絡信息”和“社交方式”。

  郵件往來在中國并不是最熱門的信息互換方式，但是從西方文化的角度看，Emails的使用頻繁度就像我們的Wechat或者QQ, 無論是在學校還是公司，都是人們必不可少的交流工具。

  所以，在這個素材積累上，最好的方式是打開我們的郵箱，瀏覽一下你的Inbox和Outbox有什么類型的郵件，Junk mail box里面有沒有未刪除的廣告郵件。打開一封最近一次你發過的郵件，看一下你的reply time和Email content. 這樣的素材不是“刻意積累”，而是“主動發現”，還原真實生活，且內容不會遺忘，在回答時更能準確表達自己的意思。

  這個過程做完以后，再回到這個Email話題中，你會發現無論你對郵箱使用是否頻繁，郵件的基本類型、郵件的回復頻率以及廣告郵件的大概信息都會印在你腦海中，然后你自然會得出一個“Do you prefer to email, phone or text your friends”的答案。最后一步，就是解決這些內容的相關詞匯和詞組了。

  在高科技出現突破之前，可以推斷Part1“網絡信息”和“社交方式”的考題類型不會超過letter, handwriting, telephone, email, smartphone, text message, social website，online materials這些范圍。和劍15的Email的解題方式一樣，打開-瀏覽-使用，最后解決詞匯障礙，即可。

  答案概要：

  What kinds of emails do you receive about your work or studies?

  I will receive an email about the timetable for my classes every week from the office. The specific time and classrooms need to be told before I take the classes through emails as it’s a formal method that the information will be recorded permanently.

  Do you prefer to email, phone or text your friends?

  I prefer to text my friends since I don’t need their replies immediately and texting would not bother others at all. Sending emails requires long waiting time and it’s impolite to call someone at night. Therefore, sending message is much easier.

  Do you reply to emails and messages as soon as you receive them?

  I would reply to emails as soon as I receive them. Especially when someone writes to me to appreciate me or compliment me about my responsible work.

  Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things?

  Actually I don’t care about it. It’s quite easy to clear up the Inbox, by selecting the advertising mails and sending them to the junk mail box. Just ignore them.

  劍13的Part 2分別是物品類、個人經歷類和科技傳媒類。地點類話題在每個季度的題庫中都會出現4-5個(加上老題目)，基本圍繞house, tourist attraction, park, building等。劍14的hotel對于考生們而言是個新題，難點主要體現在酒店的基本介紹和外觀描述。但是亮點部分也很容易表現，比如hotel的entertaining facilities, special services and hospitable staffs.

  在2020第一季度的真題中，我們也碰到過a crowded place這種生僻的地點類題目。一個地點題的生動形象主要表現在：通過方位移動，你看到了什么;通過設施介紹，你會經歷什么。Part2切忌只概括內容，要學會列舉和展開細節描述，分享個人體驗。

  地點類話題每個季度都會有，即使變化無常，也一定是你見過或者聽過的地方。
