說說雅思口語part3的驚（bian）喜（tai）問題

聽到part3 這幾個詞，很多同學就聞風喪膽，就一個字“慫”。原因多樣，有些同學是擔心題目聽不懂，有些同學是思路豐滿，但是詞匯量骨感，不能用英文充分地表達自己的滿腔熱血，但是最怕的還是，我聽懂了，但是我真的回答不出來，我連中文都不知道該怎么去回答。

　　所以今天，就來跟大家聊聊本季當中part3的驚（bian）喜（tai）問題。
 
　　典型例題 What kinds of music is popular in China now and what kind will be in the future?
 
　　我們先來看一下這個問題的前半句，What kinds of music is popular in China now？看似很簡單的問題，但是仔細一想，哎好像不對，我也說不出來哪一種音樂現在絕對流利的，每個人的口味還是挺不一樣的，不過好像那些短視頻app上面的歌，總能在生活中聽到。而這些歌風格又不太一樣。

　　那我們不妨換一個角度去想一下。這邊的關鍵詞kind，其實不是一定要說音樂的風格類型，其實也是可以講一類具有共同特點的歌曲的。拿短視頻app上面的歌來舉例的話，它們的風筒特點就是洗腦, 江湖俗稱口水歌。這樣我們就有內容可以去展開了。
 
　　我們可以先給答案列一個提綱，附上英文關鍵詞
　　Answer：類型是catchy songs (口水歌)
　　Reason：everywhere都能聽到這樣的歌曲，并附上example。
　　Explain: 人們的具體表現體現為hum unconsciously(無意識地跟著哼)
 
　　串起來變成完整的內容就可以如下：
　　I think catchy songs are quite popular in China now. They can be heard everywhere like in supermarkets or a barber’s. And people even hum them unconsciously.
 
　　句型分析: 這邊“哪里都能聽到歌曲”用的是被動語句，因為被動句聽起來比主動句高級一些。
 
　　然后更讓人不解的是后半個問題，what kind will be in the future?
　　講來的事情誰都說不準，這叫我該怎么去預測呢？我又不是算命的。臣妾做不到啊。
　　其實呢，大家不用緊張，“做不到”也是一種答案。其實在雅思口語考試當中，direct answer從來就不是考官給分的主要因素，考官真正看中的是你如何把理由給解釋清楚了。那么接下來，我們就可以順著這個思路來想一下
 
　　Answer：hard to tell (委婉地表示做不到)
　　Reason：人們對歌曲的taste（品味）varies from time to time(千變萬化)
　　Explain: 去年流行的曲風+原因，現在流行的曲風+表示意料不到
 
　　串起來變成完整的內容就可以如下：
　　I find it hard to tell what kind will be popular in the future, as people’s taste towards music varies from time to time. Last year, musicals and operas were fashionable for there was a related talent show which drew people’s attention. And this year there are new catchy songs, which are unexpected. Therefore, I don’t think I can predict the trend of the future music styles. 

　　用詞分析：因為popular是本題的核心詞，所以不可避免的會出現多次，那么我們在用詞上面就要注意變化，可以用fashionable/trendy等去替換著說。
 
　　最后附上完整范文
