各部分回答范例
Part 1: Do you know any energetic people?
问题: "Do you know any energetic people?" 回答范例:
"Oh, absolutely! I can think of a few people, but my best friend Leo is a perfect example of an energetic person. He's just full of beans all the time. What I admire most is that he doesn't just have physical energy; he's also enthusiastic about his work and hobbies. He's the kind of guy who can go for a hike in the mountains in the morning and then attend a late-night workshop without skipping a beat. Being around him is quite contagious; it really makes you want to be more active yourself."
解析:
- 直接回答: "Oh, absolutely! I can think of a few people..."
- 给出具体例子: "my best friend Leo"
- 使用核心词汇: "full of beans", "enthusiastic"
- 提供细节: 描述他一天的活动 (hike in the mountains, late-night workshop)
- 表达个人感受: "Being around him is quite contagious..."
- 连接词: "What I admire most is...", "Being around him..."
Part 2: Describe an energetic person you know.
问题: "Describe an energetic person you know. You should say: who this person is, how you know this person, what this person is like, and explain why you think this person is energetic."
回答范例:
I'd like to talk about my aunt, Sarah. She's my mother's younger sister, and I've known her my whole life. In fact, she's more like a big sister to me than an aunt.
Sarah is probably the most vibrant and dynamic person I've ever met. She's in her late fifties, but you'd never guess it from her energy levels. She's always buzzing with activity. For instance, she runs her own successful graphic design company, which requires a lot of creativity and long hours, yet she still manages to find time for her other passions. She's an avid rock climber, a keen cyclist, and she even leads a local yoga class on weekends.
What makes her so energetic, I believe, is her positive outlook on life. She never seems to get bogged down by stress or problems. Instead, she sees challenges as opportunities to grow and learn. I remember once when her biggest client canceled a major project, instead of getting upset, she immediately started brainstorming new ideas and even found two smaller clients to fill the gap. Her ability to thrive on activity and her unwavering enthusiasm are truly inspiring.
I think she's energetic because she genuinely loves what she does and she takes very good care of her body. She eats healthily, exercises regularly, and surrounds herself with positive, like-minded people. For me, she's a role model of how to live a full and energetic life.
解析:
- 结构清晰: 严格按照提示卡的四点要求展开。
- 高级词汇: "vibrant", "dynamic", "buzzing with activity", "avid", "positive outlook on life", "thrive on activity"。
- 具体例子: 用取消项目的例子来证明她的积极心态,非常有说服力。
- 分析原因: 不仅描述她是什么样的人，还分析了她为什么这么有精力 (loves what she does, takes care of her body)。
- 个人连接: "For me, she's a role model...",结尾升华主题。
Part 3: Follow-up Questions
问题 1: "Do you think it's better to be energetic or relaxed?" 回答范例:
"That's an interesting question. I think both have their merits, but a balance is probably ideal. Being energetic allows you to achieve a lot, seize opportunities, and lead a very full life. However, being relaxed is crucial for your mental health and avoiding burnout. I believe the key is to know when to be energetic and driven, and when to step back and relax. For example, you need to be energetic and focused during work hours, but it's equally important to be relaxed and unwind in the evening to get a good night's sleep. So, it's not about choosing one over the other, but about integrating both into your lifestyle."
问题 2: "Can a person's energy level change as they get older?" 回答范例:
"Definitely. From what I've observed and read, it's quite common for a person's energy levels to change with age. Physically, it's natural for our bodies to slow down a bit, and we might not have the same stamina we had in our twenties. However, I don't think that means becoming less energetic overall. Energy can also be mental and emotional. Many older people I know channel their energy into different activities, like mentoring, volunteering, or pursuing hobbies they didn't have time for when they were younger. So, while the type of energy might shift from physical to more creative or social, it doesn't necessarily disappear. In fact, with a positive mindset, some people seem to become more energetic in their later years by finding new sources of passion and purpose."

- 展示对比: 可以对比一个精力充沛的人和一个比较安静的人,突出前者的特点。
- 连接个人与社会: 在 Part 3 中，可以将个人经历与社会现象联系起来,比如现代快节奏生活对人们精力的影响。
常见错误
