下面我将为你提供一个全方位的备考指南,包括高分思路、词汇短语、Part 1/2/3 的范例回答以及备考建议。

核心高分思路
在回答关于 reading 和 writing 的问题时,不要只停留在“喜欢/不喜欢”的层面,尝试从以下几个角度展开,让你的回答更有深度和广度:
- 目的: 你为什么读/写?(为了娱乐、学习、工作、放松、保持联系?)
- 你读/写什么?(小说、新闻、博客、邮件、报告、日记?)
- 频率/习惯: 你多久读/写一次?通常在什么时候/什么地方?(每天、睡前、通勤路上?)
- 感受: 你从中获得了什么?(快乐、知识、放松、压力?)
- 变化: 和过去相比,你的阅读/写作习惯有什么变化?(现在更多地看手机,而不是书?)
- 你未来会继续保持这个习惯吗?或者有什么新的计划?

Part 2: 个人陈述 (Cue Card)
Cue Card:
Describe a book that you enjoyed reading. You should say:
- what the book is
- when you read it
- what it is about
- and explain why you enjoyed it.
高分回答范例:
I'd like to talk about a book that had a profound impact on me, which is Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I read it about two years ago during a summer vacation when I had some free time on my hands.
The book is a fascinating exploration of the entire history of the human species, from the Stone Age to the modern age. It explains how Homo sapiens came to dominate the world by creating and believing in collective myths like religions, nations, and money. It covers topics like the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions, and it really challenges the way you see the world.
What I enjoyed most about it is its incredible ability to make complex ideas accessible. Harari has a very engaging and thought-provoking writing style. He doesn't just present facts; he connects them in a way that makes you think deeply about our past, present, and future. It wasn't just an educational read; it was an intellectual adventure. It broadened my horizons and made me question many assumptions I had about society and progress. I remember finishing it and feeling like I had a completely new lens through which to view humanity. I've actually recommended it to many of my friends since then.
回答结构分析:
- What: 清晰说出书名和作者。
- When: 两年前,暑假。
- What it's about: 用简洁的语言概括书的核心内容(人类史、认知革命等),展示了你的理解能力。
- Why you enjoyed it: 这是得分的关键,从“写作风格” (
engaging and thought-provoking)、“阅读体验” (intellectual adventure) 和“个人收获” (broadened my horizons,new lens) 三个层面展开,使用了profound impact,fascinating exploration,complex ideas accessible,thought-provoking等高级词汇和短语。
Part 3: 深入讨论
考官问题: Do you think people will read physical books in the future, or will everything be digital?
- 高分回答范例:
That's a great question. I believe both formats will coexist, but their roles might shift. E-books and digital media offer unparalleled convenience. You can carry a whole library in one device, which is perfect for our fast-paced, mobile lifestyles. The search function and instant dictionary access are also huge advantages.
However, I don't think physical books will disappear. There's a certain tactile and sensory experience that a digital screen can't replicate—the smell of paper and ink, the weight of the book in your hands, and the satisfaction of turning a physical page. For many, reading a physical book is a more focused and immersive experience, free from the distractions of notifications. It's also a form of art and decoration, like a beautiful coffee table book. So, I see e-books dominating for casual, on-the-go reading, while physical books will remain popular for in-depth reading, as gifts, and for those who appreciate the traditional experience.
