来自考官的“灵魂拷问”

—雅思口语考试中遇到的奇葩问题

大家都知道Part 3 的问题通常是根据Part 2 的Topic延伸而来的，考官会跟考生在相关问题上做进一步的探讨，来考察学生的语言能力。考过的童鞋可能都注意到过，考官其实在Part 3 也有一个Question List，大部分考官会按照这个list来进行提问，这个list上通常都是比较官方的问题，比较中规中矩，奇怪的问题占少数。

氮素！！！

不安常理出牌的考官也是有的，特别是喜欢free style、表达能力比较强的考生，更容易受到来自考官的“灵魂拷问”~~~~

接着我们一起来看一看下面这些网络上以及我们的学员遇到的奇葩问题吧，笑一笑的同时，一秒get怎么应对才是最重要的哦~~~~

内心OS：What？电子词典？亲你说哪种啊？考natti的那种还是本宝宝手机里的app？电子词典咋了，该用的时候就要用啊...好吧，既然你诚心诚意地发问了，我就勉为其难地想一想电子词典的性质、特点、平时和人的联系、平时应用的场景。于是，有了!可以说一说excessive reliance, we will believe that all the explanations and usages in the dictionary are right. Although e-dictionary brings convenience, it also contributes to the lack of consideration and innovation.

内心OS：大写的黑人问号脸！friendly和polite不是差不多么，很多时候还能换着用呢！ok，让我好好捋一捋，这两个词应该是亲疏的区别，不管是陌生人还是亲近的人都应该有礼貌，亲近的人更应该用友好的态度，everyone need to be polite to anyone else, but don’t need to be friendly.接着可以用举例子展开，拉长说话的内容，比如：for example , I need to be friendly to..because I feel..because I want he/she feel..However...

同时我还觉得每个工作都要假装友好啊，especially the service/hospitality industry.后面一个问题也是这样回答，也可以说情商高的人(people with high emotional intelligence)也会经常对不喜欢的人友好。

范例(来自网络)：If I pretend to be friendly, I would feel quite uncomfortable most of the time, and I would be careful with what I say and what I do. Also I would annoy myself for being fake. By contrast, being polite is more natural to me, I can do that without too much thinking and I would consider that my politeness can earn more enjoy。

喜欢政府工作的理由无非就是stable; less things but more money; good reputation; have spare and disposable time

口语港港的童鞋也可以直接反驳问题：我并不觉得中国人喜欢做政府工作啊bla bla bla bla…..我周围的很多人在XXX工作等等(直接反驳这种非常不合理的——为什么中国人喜欢/讨厌XX的问题，只要言之成理，会有一种剑走偏锋的感觉——高分种子选手。而且这也很说得通啊，你一个外国考官会比我更懂中国人嘛。。)

一瞬间我就开始深层次思考了：我真的是这么虚荣的人么？？我很谦虚的好吧，考官你不要给我扣帽子。。。。。好了不能纠结这个要回答问题，ok，这样想吧，其实是个人都喜欢被表扬吧，不分朋友熟人还是陌生人。

万能理由：people care about how their friends think of them, their compliments would mean so much to us, whereas positive comments from strangers may not be that important.

What? 最讨厌被问到这种跟政策有关的问题了，我怎么知道啊，我就是个小烤鸭，这不是我会关心的问题好吗~~唉，咱还是好好回答问题吧：

首先来一个基本的概念：Elite education精英教育无非代表着高成本.

那么可以这么说：Elite education means higher tuition fees and more qualified teachers to meet the demand. China has a huge population and I don't think the government can find an adequate amount of teachers to offer elite training.

。。。。。。内心已经无话可吐槽。。。。

好吧来认真答题。敲黑板！划重点！大家注意看，有隐私的意义在哪里呢？

很大一部分就是create a sense of security.

但总有一些人很八卦想知道别人的隐，我们组织一下语言：I know that many people not only want to know others' private life but also gossip around and cause troubles, so it would be important to keep many things private and unknown to certain people for our own sake. This is the best way to avoid troubles and get more comfort in life.

乍一看真的很奇葩，但联想到经济水平就比较好说，过去和现在进行对比

In the past, when most people in China were only able to afford food, they would send their friends and family members fruits and meat as gifts.

Nowadays, there is a trend for buying expensive products to show thankfulness. This probably has to do with the good economy in which people earn more and they can afford more.

这个好说，就注重动作描写就可以了

For me, I would freeze when I feel I can’t believe what just happened.

Some of my friends like to scream crazily. They probably want the whole world to know how excited they are or how incredible the surprise is.

最简单的问题通常也最难回答，生日送礼物不是早就深入人心变成习俗了吗用得着问为什么嘛？

最主要的就是make the birthday person happy, and show your love, friendliness. 

谁说的！！考官你又在扣帽子了好吧！！也不是每个女人都不喜欢大车啊，很多年轻女性都很喜欢SUV够霸气好吧。所以实在觉得不会说的时候也可以完全反过来说

I never heard of such kind of preference because some of my female friends would like to get big cars, which are safe and nice-looking. And my best guess about them not wanting a big car is that big cars usually burn too much fuel, they would love to spend the money on shopping than on gas. So they will choose small cars.

这就变成想象题了，第一反应是real 尴尬：it would be super embarrassing and sometimes there could be a serious consequence when the guest totally forgets what the host’s name.

你也可以觉得fine,因为自己也常常会忘。有的人也会觉得被冒犯：They might feel offended about this. It would be super embarrassing and sometimes there could be a serious consequence when the guest totally forgets what the host’s name.

哈哈哈这什么蠢问题，既然晚上要工作当然就是白天睡觉…只能摊摊手说Well, these people just sleep during the day and work when it gets dark.

我也想知道我什么时候能结婚(直接说也可以，然后抱怨一下找到the one的艰难,再讲一下自己的plan)

My plan is when I meet the one, I would start to think about it and hopefully have the wedding soon. And I would prefer to keep the deadline as a secret if you don’t mind~~

每个人都有秘密，有的话就是不能说啊只能在从自身的角度回答咯

We don’t want them to know everything, as we don’t trust them and knowing our secrets will not give them any benefits.
