話題一覽 

科技類話題可以說(shuō)是獨(dú)立口語(yǔ)中套路性最強(qiáng)的話題，一方面是因?yàn)橛胁簧俚耐ㄓ美碛蛇m用這個(gè)話題。另一方面是因?yàn)檫@兩個(gè)話題離大家的生活還比較近，因此有不少生活中的例子可以為答題所用。

不過(guò)，當(dāng)大家遇到很熟悉的題目時(shí)，如何作答才能讓自己的回答更勝一籌？如何從評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)topic development、language use、delivery中找到自己可以最大程度發(fā)揮但又能實(shí)現(xiàn)很好的平衡的突破項(xiàng)更為關(guān)鍵。

今天，我們一起來(lái)看一下如何玩轉(zhuǎn)熟悉的科技類話題。

應(yīng)對(duì)策略

topic development巧用細(xì)節(jié)/例子模板

一方面，當(dāng)我們談及互聯(lián)網(wǎng)/數(shù)字化等的pros & cons的時(shí)候，可以通過(guò)多描述具體情境（學(xué)習(xí)、工作、生活）中的不同主體發(fā)出的動(dòng)作來(lái)填補(bǔ)足夠的細(xì)節(jié)。

另一方面，我們可以多積累特殊群體（比如說(shuō)青少年），以及具體社交媒體/網(wǎng)站等的例子，根據(jù)不同的話題就著template做調(diào)整即可。

舉個(gè)栗子1：the Internet

生活：Once we are connected to the Internet, we cannot disconnect ourselves from it. Let’s be honest, what’s the first question that you ask when you go to a restaurant or to a friend’s house? It’s probably the WIFI password.

學(xué)習(xí)：Some students might get addicted to the internet and even drop out of the school. In detail, students are more likely to spend much more time playing video games, browsing social media or having a chat with their close friends in the private window, which would reduce their learning efficiency.

舉個(gè)例子2：electronic books / digitalization

生活：An e-book reader is very lightweight. I can carry thousands of books anywhere since e-book carries just a digital copy of book. Especially convenient when going for a long tour. With today’s technology I can read e-books everywhere, on the bus, train, airplane, and while standing in line.

工作：paperless officeWhen everything is stored digitally, accessibility becomes quick and easy. Employees, consumers and business owners have access to all data, contracts and consumer files with just a few mouse clicks. This will definitely improve customer service.

學(xué)習(xí)：The library is still necessary because it provides resources and services that cannot be easily accessed online. Libraries offer a wide range of physical books, magazines, and other materials that are not available online, and they also provide spaces for studying and community events. For example, students and researchers often use the library to access academic resources and study materials, while seniors may use the library as a social and recreational space.

舉個(gè)例子3：social media apps / websites / technology

特殊群體：Social media have a strong influence to the society. Especially to kids. Children who view violent programs on TV tend to have more aggressive behavior late in life. Most of the violent acts contain stabbing, shooting, or dismembering someone with an ax. It is bound to teach children over time that violence is an acceptable solution to problems in life.

具體網(wǎng)站：I've been visiting the website quite frequently, almost on a daily basis. You know, I have no time to cook for myself everyday. Meituan can help me save a lot of time by streamlining the food ordering process. Plus, I can get whatever I want. It is really convenient. They also offer great deals and discounts on popular restaurants, which is a big plus for me. As for the reason why I enjoy using Meituan is the user-generated reviews and ratings. I can see what other people have said about a particular restaurant before deciding whether to order from there or not. It's like having a personal recommendation from a friend.

下劃線部分可以替換不同的websites及其特點(diǎn)

具體科技發(fā)明：Smartphones have become immensely popular worldwide. It's rare to come across someone who doesn't own or use a smartphone. The smartphone has revolutionized the way we communicate, access information, and perform numerous tasks. It allows me to make calls, send messages, and stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues. Additionally, it provides access to the internet, enabling me to browse websites, check emails, and access social media platforms. I can also use it for entertainment purposes, such as streaming music and videos, playing games, and taking photos and videos.

language use適當(dāng)豐富

舉個(gè)栗子1：倒裝句

With the Internet came the convenience of online shopping. Rather than commuting all the way to a mall and wait in long lines to check out, I can now do all of my shopping on a cellphone. There are no annoying crowds. What’s more, if you don't want to experience awkward approaches by eager salespeople, online shopping is an excellent choice.

舉個(gè)例子2：地道表達(dá)

I didn't want to browse the university’s website but my roommate twisted my arm.

Never purchase a product as soon as the product is available in the market. It will charge you an arm and a leg.

In terms of ease of use, smartphones have evolved to be user-friendly and intuitive. The interfaces have become more streamlined. With touchscreens and simplified navigation, using a smartphone is as easy as taking candy from a baby/as easy as winking/a piece of cake.

例題示范

Some people like to have their cell or mobile phone with them at all times. Other people prefer not to bring their cell or mobile phone with them everywhere they go, or they choose not to own one at all. Which do you prefer?

sample response-1

I do prefer the former one. I mean, smartphones have become immensely popular worldwide. It's rare to come across someone who doesn't own or use a smartphone. I prefer to have my phone handy to stay in touch with family members, coordinate plans, or be reachable in case of an emergency. It allows me to make calls, send messages, and stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues. Additionally, it provides access to the internet, enabling me to browse websites, check emails, and access social media platforms. I can also use it for entertainment purposes, such as streaming music and videos, playing games, and taking photos and videos.

sample response-2

I'm not a big fan of cellphones. I prefer to disconnect from constant connectivity and enjoy periods of uninterrupted personal time or focus on the present moment. Say, I choose not to bring my phone on a nature hike or during meditation to minimize distractions and fully immerse myself in the experience. Otherwise, I will be more likely to spend much more time playing video games, browsing social media or having a chat with my friends. Plus, I just wanna adopt a minimalist lifestyle, finding freedom and contentment in having fewer possessions or distractions. I mean, just simplify my life and reduce screen time.
