另辟蹊径 雅思口语遇到“优劣类”问题该咋说

对于雅思口语Part 1和Part 3中的优劣类问答题，有六个用来快速思考理由思考理由的关键词，可以供备考时间过短或者口语基础太“潮”的同学在考试时实在想不出思路被“干”在那儿时解围使用：

Time

Cost

Mood

Health

Safety

Knowledge

其中health除了身体健康physical health也包括心理健康psychological health比如我们来看一道Part1中较“另类”的考题：

Do you think children should be allowed to drive?

这个题的视角很蹊跷，但是没关系，不妨试试六字诀：

Time-Kids can get to school earlier if they are allowed to drive.

Cost-It would cost more for teenagers to learn to drive.

Mood-Driving is exciting for youngsters,no doubt about it.

Health-If children got hurt in an accident,they would suffer more physically and psychologically.

Safey-Some teens may will NOT be able to drive safely.

Knowledge-It would be nice if children could learn more about traffic rules through driving.

这只是给您的一点提示，当然，您也可以完全用这六个提示词想出属于自己的ideas.

需要提醒的是：六字诀对口试的Part1和Part3问答题最有效，而对于Part2卡片题的思路来说，则还是沿着本书Day8中每类话题里的展开思路表格思考更有效。

但也有特例，比如最近在大陆考区有道十分著名的Part2卡片熊经常出没：

Describe a TV show that you dislike.(不喜欢)

喜欢的电视节目比较好说，但描述自己不喜欢的节目却不太容易深入下去。

也用六字诀试试：

Time-Too late (around midnight) and terribly long

Cost-It cost (cost的过去时还是cost) a huge amount of money to produce.

Mood-It’s totally heavy (沉重的) and depressing（非常压抑的）.

Health-Filled with violent scenes and is psychologically damaging to youngsters.

Safey-I’m even afraid it would lead to some youth crimes.

Knowledge-It doesn’t bring any fresh ideas and is often interrupted.(节目中间被打断) by stupid ads.(如果内容庸俗的则可以说It’s tacky.)

这样一个TV show 足以给人nightmare了吧。

在头脑中实用六字诀需要对它们大量练习，熟练掌握才能在考场中用于自如。如果觉得自己已经很有把握了，那么可以再加上View (美观还是丑陋) 这条补充理由作为备用，如果连前面六条还没记熟就不考虑这条视觉理由了。

最后还是要强调：六字诀知识在实在没有招儿了时作为救命稻草，对于能自己快速想出ideas的题就完全不必依赖它们，毕竟在雅思口语里流利度是相当重要的一个指标。

同学们不妨小试牛刀一下：what are the advantages and disadvantages of living in big cities?
