Part 1: 基础问答
在Part 1中,考官会问一些非常直接的问题,你的回答需要清晰、具体、有细节,并且展示出一些个人感受。

常见问题及高分回答范例:
Q1: Do you like outdoor activities?
- 普通回答: "Yes, I do. I like going hiking."
- 高分回答: "Absolutely! I'm a huge fan of anything that gets me out of the house and into nature. There's something incredibly refreshing about breathing fresh air and feeling the sun on my skin, you know? It's the perfect antidote to a week spent staring at a screen."
Q2: What outdoor activities do you (like to) do?
- 普通回答: "I like to play basketball and go hiking."
- 高分回答: "I'm quite active outdoors. My go-to activity is definitely hiking. I find it's a great way to clear my head and stay fit. On top of that, I'm also trying to get into rock climbing recently. It's challenging, but the sense of accomplishment when you reach the top is just unbeatable."
Q3: How often do you do these activities?

- 普通回答: "I go hiking once a month."
- 高分回答: "I try to make it a habit to go for a long hike at least once every weekend, weather permitting. As for rock climbing, I usually manage to squeeze in one session during the week, maybe after work, just to unwind."
Q4: What outdoor activities did you do as a child?
- 普通回答: "I played football with my friends."
- 高分回答: "Oh, my childhood was almost spent outdoors. I have vivid memories of playing hide-and-seek and tag with my neighbors in the alleyway after school. We would also fly kites in the local park, which was always a lot of fun. Those were carefree days."
Q5: Why do some people not like outdoor activities?
- 普通回答: "Because they are lazy."
- 高分回答: "I suppose there are a few reasons. For some people, it might simply be a matter of personality; they're more introverted and prefer the comfort of their own home. Others might be put off by practical concerns, like the cost of equipment or gear, or they might just find it physically too demanding. And let's not forget, bad weather can be a major deterrent for almost anyone."
Part 2: 个人陈述
这是你需要自己展开话题的部分,一个好的策略是使用 STAR原则 (Situation, Task, Action, Result) 或 A-B-C 结构 (Activity - Background - Comment/Feeling)。
Describe an outdoor activity you did recently. You should say:

- what the activity was
- where you did it
- who you did it with
- and explain how you felt about the experience.
高分回答范例:
(A - Activity) I'd like to talk about a really memorable outdoor activity I did recently, which was a weekend camping and kayaking trip to a lake called Qinghai Lake, which is actually the largest saltwater lake in China.
(B - Background) It was about a month ago. I organized this trip with a few of my closest college friends. We had been talking about getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, and we thought this would be the perfect opportunity. We drove up on a Friday afternoon, and the scenery was just breathtaking – vast blue water under a clear sky, with golden grasslands stretching out as far as the eye could see.
(C - Comment/Feeling - 重点展开部分) For the activity itself, we spent one full day kayaking on the lake. It was my first time ever trying kayaking, so I was a bit nervous at the beginning. My friend, who is more experienced, gave me a quick lesson on how to paddle and steer. At first, I was all over the place, splashing water everywhere, which made my friends laugh a lot. But after about half an hour, I got the hang of it and was able to glide smoothly across the water.
(R - Result/Feelings) The feeling was absolutely incredible. Paddling on the serene lake, surrounded by nothing but nature, was incredibly peaceful and meditative. We even saw some wild birds diving into the water for fish. We camped by the shore that night, sitting around a campfire, telling stories, and stargazing. It was a complete escape from our daily routines. I felt so refreshed and reconnected with both nature and my friends. It wasn't just about the activity itself, but the whole experience of disconnecting from our phones and just being in the moment. It’s an experience I would definitely love to repeat.
Part 3: 深度讨论
在Part 3,考官会就Part 2的话题进行更抽象、更深入的探讨,你需要展示你的分析能力、批判性思维和词汇广度。
Q1: Why do you think some people prefer indoor activities over outdoor ones?
- 思路解析: 从性格、便利性、成本、环境等多个角度分析。
- 高分回答: "Well, I think it boils down to a combination of preference and practicality. On the one hand, personality plays a huge role. Some people are naturally homebodies and find greater comfort and relaxation in the familiar, controlled environment of their homes. On the other hand, there are very practical reasons. Outdoor activities can be weather-dependent, which is a big drawback in places with harsh winters or rainy seasons. Furthermore, some outdoor hobbies, like skiing or scuba diving, can be quite expensive and require specialized gear, making them less accessible. For many, especially in a fast-paced city life, indoor activities like going to the gym or a cinema simply offer more convenience and are easier to fit into a busy schedule."
Q2: How do you think outdoor activities can benefit children's development?
- 思路解析: 从身体健康、社交能力、性格塑造、与自然连接等方面回答。
- 高分回答: "I believe outdoor activities are fundamental to a child's holistic development. Physically, they encourage kids to run, jump, and climb, which is crucial for building strength, coordination, and a healthy lifestyle from a young age. Socially, team sports or group games in a park teach them invaluable lessons about cooperation, communication, and how to handle both victory and defeat. Perhaps more importantly, being outdoors fosters a sense of curiosity, resilience, and independence. When children are faced with the challenges of the natural world, like a steep hill or a fast-flowing stream, they learn to problem-solve and be resourceful. It also helps them develop a sense of environmental awareness and respect for nature, which is something they'll carry with them into adulthood."
Q3: Do you think governments should do more to promote outdoor activities? Why?
- 思路解析: 先表明立场,然后从公共健康、环境保护、社区建设等角度论证。
- 高分回答: "Absolutely, I think it's a role that governments should certainly embrace. Firstly, from a public health perspective, promoting outdoor activities is a proactive way to combat sedentary lifestyles and the associated health problems, like obesity and heart disease. By creating more accessible parks, hiking trails, and sports facilities, the government can make it easier for citizens to lead healthier lives. Secondly, it has environmental benefits. When people develop a personal connection with nature through outdoor activities, they are more likely to support conservation efforts and be more environmentally conscious in their daily lives. Lastly, it can strengthen communities. Well-maintained public spaces serve as social hubs where people from different backgrounds can come together, fostering a greater sense of social cohesion and community spirit."
Q4: How has technology changed the way people do outdoor activities?
- 思路解析: 分别讨论正面影响(如GPS, 运动手环)和负面影响(如分心、失去真实体验)。
- 高分回答: "Technology has had a profound, dual-edged impact on outdoor activities. On the positive side, it has made the outdoors more accessible and safer than ever before. For instance, GPS devices and navigation apps on our phones have made it nearly impossible to get lost, which encourages more people to explore remote areas. Fitness trackers also allow us to monitor our performance, set goals, and stay motivated. However, there's a significant downside. The constant connectivity can be a major distraction. People are often more focused on taking the perfect photo for social media or checking their notifications than on actually experiencing the moment. This can lead to a situation where they are physically present in nature, but mentally elsewhere, missing out on the true, unfiltered experience. So, while technology is a great tool, it's crucial that we learn to use it responsibly and not let it diminish the essence of why we go outdoors in the first place."
