So make sure you subscribe to get the latest IELTS speaking lessons. Okay, in today's lesson, we're going to learn some basics on IELTS speaking part one.
因此请确保你订阅了频道以获取最新的雅思口语课。好的，在今天的课程中，我们将首先学习雅思考试的一些基础知识。
First, we'll look at how part 1 works. Then we'll look at how to fully answer a part 1 question.
首先，我们要了解一下第一部分的原理。然后我们将研究如何完整地回答第一部分的问题。
So let's get started. So let's talk about part 1.
我们开始吧。我们来谈谈第一部分。
Part 1 lasts between four to five minutes and is the easiest speaking part. The examiner will introduce themselves.
第一部分持续4到5分钟，是最简单的部分。考官会介绍自己。
Then you will introduce yourself. For example, hello, my name is Cara and I'll be interviewing you today.
然后你要自我介绍。例如，你好，我叫卡拉，我今天要面试你。
Hi, my name is Emily. Nice to meet you.
你好，我叫艾米丽。很高兴认识你。
This is followed with about eight to ten questions about yourself. And there will be around two to three different topics.
接下来是关于自己的八到十个问题。它们会围绕两到三个不同的话题。
These questions aren't that difficult. Here are some examples of what the examiner could ask you.
这些问题并不难。以下是考官可能会问你的一些示例。
Let's say the examiner asks you about your country. They might ask you what your country is famous for or are you planning to live there in the future?
比如说考官问你关于你的国家的问题。他们可能会问你所在的国家以什么出名或你打算将来要不要住在那。
Then the examiner might ask you about your accommodations. Maybe they will ask you: is there anything you would like to change about the place you live in or do you plan to live there for a long time?
然后考官可能会问关于你住宿的问题。也许他们会问你：对于你的住所，你有没有任何想要改变的地方，或者你打算在那里住很长时间吗？
These are just some examples. There are many other topics and questions that you could be asked about, like work, what you study, your friends, your hobbies, anything along those lines.
这些只是一些示例。还有许多其它你可能会被问到的话题，例如工作，你学习的东西，你的朋友，你的兴趣，任何事情。
Think of part one like small talk between two people. The examiner is just getting to know you.
把第一部分想象成两个人之间的闲聊。考官只是想了解你。
Though part one is more laid-back than parts two and three, this doesn't mean you should totally blow it off. You still need to prepare or you could be caught off guard.
尽管第一部分比第二部分和第三部分更随意，这并不意味着你应该随口乱说。你仍然需要准备，否则你可能会措手不及。
Okay, that's all there is to part one. Let's move on and talk about how to give a full answer to IELTS speaking part one questions.
好的，这就是第一部分要注意的所有问题。我们继续讨论如何完整地回答雅思口语第一部分问题。
As a general rule, a good answer is about three to five sentences. Unprepared test takers give answers that have fewer than three sentences.
一般来说，一个很好的答案应该有三到五句话。毫无准备的应试者给出的答案不到三句话。
That's not good. Remember, you're here to prove you can speak English, so you need to give the examiner long answers in order for them to grade you.
这样不好。请记住，这里你要证明你可以说英语，所以你需要给考官长的答案，以便他们给你评分。
Let's look at an example. In this example, two students give answers to the same question.
我们来看一个例子。在这个例子中，两个学生回答的是同样的问题。
What kind of food do you like to eat? Student B's answer is way too short and vague while student A's answer is longer and has more information.
你喜欢吃哪种食物？B 学生的答案太短太模糊了，而 A 学生的答案更长，信息量更大。
Because of this, even if both students English levels are the same, student A's answer received a much higher score. Now you might ask how to give a longer answer?
因此，即使两个学生的英语水平是一样的，A 学生的答案得分更高。那么你可能会问如何给出更长的答案。
Actually, it's pretty easy. There are five techniques you can use to extend your answers: providing reasons, providing examples, providing detail, talking about the past or the future, and making speculations.
实际上这很容易。有五种你可以用来拓展答案的技巧：说明原因，举例子，详细解释，谈论过去和将来，以及进行推测。
The only way to master these five techniques is to practice them. In some cases, you want to provide reasons while in others, you'll want to provide examples.
掌握这五种技巧的唯一方法是练习它们。在某些情况中，你要说明原因，而在其它情况中，你要举例子。
You'll need to train your brain to recognize which technique will be used simply by the question being asked. Now let's take a closer look at these five techniques.
你要训练你的大脑只根据所提的问题就识别出要使用哪种技巧。现在我们来详细学习这五种技巧。
Let's start off our techniques with providing reasons. Providing a reason is a great way to make your answer longer and more detailed.
我们先从说明原因开始。说明原因是一个很好的让你的答案变得更长，更详细的方法。
You can use phrases like because, as, the reason why, since, and thanks to in your speaking responses. Let's listen to some IELTS speaking part 1 questions and simple answers that provide reasons.
你可以在你的口语回答中使用像 because，as，the reason why，since，和 thanks to 这样的短语。我们来听一些雅思口语考试第一部分的试题和说明了原因的简短答案。
As you listen, you can repeat what you heard or pause the video and practice by providing your own answer to the question. I am really into swimming, so I like to swim in my free time.
当你听的时候，你可以重复你听到的内容或者暂停视频并通过提供自己的答案来练习。我真的很喜欢游泳，所以我喜欢在空闲时间游泳。
I suppose this is thanks to the influence of my parents who both like swimming. My favorite TV programs are dramas, since I don't have to think too much when I watch them.
我想这多亏了我父母都喜欢游泳。我最喜欢的电视节目是戏剧，因为我在看它们的时候不必思考太多。
They're a little overdramatic at times, but that's part of the fun. I like watching films with my family and friends, because afterwards we can talk about our favorite parts and figure out what we think the plot was about.
它们有时有些过分夸张，但这是乐趣的一部分。我喜欢和家人和朋友一起看电影，因为之后我们可以谈论我们最喜欢的部分，并弄清楚我们认为情节是关于什么的。
My favorite teacher in high school was my English teacher. The reason why she was my favorite teacher is that she taught very well and spent time making sure we understood new words.
我在高中最喜欢的老师是我的英语老师。她是我最喜欢的老师是因为她教得很好，而且会花时间确保我们理解了新单词。
I enjoyed several subjects, but the one I liked the most was probably science. I put my love of science down to the fact that I grew up in a family where my parents loved science and I was taught to have an inquiring mind.
我喜欢好几个科目，但我最喜欢的科目可能是科学。我把我对科学的热爱归结为我在一个父母都热爱科学的家庭中长大，我从小就被教导要有探究精神。
All right, I hope you found this technique easy. Now, let's move on to the second technique, providing examples.
好的，我希望你觉得这个技巧很简单。现在我们继续第二个技巧，举例子。
Providing examples is another great way to make your answer longer. To give an example, you can say for example, for instance, take something for as an example, a case in point is.
举例子是另一种让你的答案更长的好方法。举例子的时候你可以说，for example，for instance，take something for as an example，a case in point is。
Again, let's listen to some example questions and answers. Yes, I like to keep fit.
同样地，我们来听一些例题和答案。是的，我喜欢健身。
I am keen on sports. For instance, I play basketball every week and use the gym whenever I have the chance.
我热衷于运动。例如，我每周都会打篮球，并且只要有机会就会去健身房。
Yes, I really do. Take learning English as an example, I love reading English magazines and listening to English podcasts.
是的，我确实喜欢。以英语为例，我喜欢阅读英语杂志和听英语播客。
Well, my least favorite thing about it is that there aren't too many fun things to do or see. A case in point is that shopping centers and restaurants close too early.
嗯，我最不喜欢的地方就是没有太多有趣的事情可做或可看。一个典型的例子是购物中心和餐馆关得太早了。
I mostly listen to music on my phone with headphones. For example, when I take the train, I like to listen to something to pass the time.
我通常会戴着耳机在手机上听音乐。例如，当我坐火车时，我喜欢听一些东西来打发时间。
Okay, now let's look at the third technique, providing detail. Whenever you are asked a question that asks you to describe something, which I call descriptive questions, you can provide details in your speaking answers.
好的，我们来看看第三个技巧。无论何时问你的问题要求你描述某物，我把这叫做描述性问题，你可以提供详细信息。
Here are some common descriptive questions, such as tell me about your hometown, tell me about the kind of accommodation you live in, tell me about the favorite shop you often go to, and the like. Let's listen to the sample answers.
以下是一些常见的描述性问题，例如跟我说说你的家乡，跟我说说你住所的类型，跟我说说你最喜欢去的商店，等等。我们来听听示例答案。
My hometown Delhi is the second-largest in India. The capital of the country, New Delhi is also there.
我的家乡德里是印度第二大城市。首都新德里也在那里。
There is an International Airport in Delhi, so it's easy to travel in and out of the country from there. It's a bookshop near where I live.
德里有一座国际机场，所以从那里进出国家很容易。这是我住所附近的一家书店。
It's on the Main Street. I often go in there to browse and have a look through all the books they have.
它在主干道上。我经常去那里浏览，看看他们拥有的所有书籍。
You know, it was about a year ago now, but I still remember it fairly well. My first day of work was slightly hectic and overwhelming and I actually made a lot of mistakes.
你知道，那是大约一年前的事，但我还是记得很清楚。我工作的第一天有些忙碌和让人措手不及，实际上我犯了很多错。
Fortunately, my co-workers and supervisor were patient with me and I got through it okay. Things that work improves quite a bit once I learned my way around.
幸运的是，我的同事和上司对我很耐心，我顺利度过了这一天。一旦我学会了如何做事，一切就开始好转了。
Okay, moving along to our next technique, talking about the past or the future. So basically, you can use this technique if the question is asking about your current situation or is asking you if you have done something before.
好的，继续说下一个技巧，谈论过去和未来。所以基本上，如果问题在问你当前的状况或问你过去是否做过某事，那么你可以使用这个技巧。
A typical question would be: who do you live with now? If you just say I live with my parents, you'll get a low score, because it is far too short.
一个典型的问题是：你现在跟谁住在一起？现在如果你只说我和父母住在一起，你会得到低分，因为它太短了。
What you can do is make the answer longer, is to also talk about who you lived with in the past or who are you going to live with in the future. So a longer answer can be: I live with my parents and my older brother now, but I used to live with my younger brother three years ago when we went to the same college.
你可以把答案拉长，你可以谈论你过去和谁在一起或者你未来要跟谁住在一起。所以更长的答案可以是：我现在跟父母和哥哥住在一起，但是我三年前和我的弟弟住在一起，那时我们上的是同一所大学。
All right, let's look at more examples. I am currently living in Delhi which is the second most populated city in India.
好的，我们来看看更多例子。我目前住在德里，印度人口第二多的城市。
I've lived there for a couple of years, but I used to live in Bangalore, which is also a big city in southern India. No. Not at the moment.
我在那里住了几年，但我以前住在班加罗尔，也是印度南部的一个大城市。不。目前没有。
I am unemployed now, but I am planning to apply for some internship positions this summer. Hopefully, things will change soon.
现在我没有工作，但我打算今年夏天申请一些实习职位。情况会很快改变。
No, I've never been to a concert before, but I think I will. Concerts are always happening around where I live, so I will try to go check them out when I can.
不，我以前从没去过音乐会，但我想我会去的。我住的地方附近总是有音乐会，所以我会尽量去的。
Finally, let's talk about the last technique, making speculations. If you encounter a question which you don't have a definite answer to, you have a wonderful opportunity to make a speculation.
最后，我们谈谈最后的技巧，进行推测。如果你遇到的问题没有明确的答案，那么这是一个很好的进行推测的机会。
Consider this question. Do you think you'll ever live in another country?
思考一下这个问题。你有没有想过你会住在另一个国家？
If you're not sure whether you'll ever live in another country, you could use the phrase like I suppose. For example, I suppose I'd be happy to leave my country, if I was offered a cool job abroad.
如果你不确定你是否会住在另一个国家，你可以使用像“我认为”这样的短语。例如，我想如果能得到一份不错的工作，我很乐意离开我的国家。
Notice the sentence pattern is I suppose I'd do this, if I was in this situation. This is the conditional type 2.
请注意句型是我想我会这样做，如果我处在这种情况中。这是 2 型条件句。
It is used to talk about a hypothetical situation. The conditional type 2 is built like this: subject+would, could, might+verb, if+subject and simple past.
它被用来谈论假设的情况。2 型条件句的组成是这样的：主语 + would, could, might + 动词，如果 + 主语 + 一般过去时。
If you can use the conditional type 2 correctly in your answer, it will really help boost your score on the IELTS speaking exam, as you demonstrate fantastic grammar. Okay, now let's listen to some example answers that make speculations and use the conditional type 2.
如果你在回答中正确使用了 2 型条件句，那么它会大大增加你在雅思口语考试中的得分，因为你展示了出色的语法。好的，现在我们来听一些进行了推测并使用了 2 型条件句的示例答案。
Pay attention to the highlighted words which are used to make a speculation. I suppose I'd be happy to leave my country, if I was offered a job abroad that was interesting.
请注意被用来进行推测的强调了的词。我想如果能在国外找到一份有趣的工作，我很乐意离开我的国家。
Hmm, I doubt whether I'll ever go there, but I'd love to go to Africa to see the wild nature. Right now I don't have money for vacation.
嗯，我觉得我不会去那里，但我很想去非洲看野生的大自然。现在我没有钱度假。
If I had more money, I'd probably go with my girlfriend. You know, that's a tricky one.
如果我有钱，我可能会跟女朋友一起去。你知道，这个问题很难回答。
It would probably be working as a software engineer in Google if I managed to pass Google's interview. You know, that's that's a good question.
如果我成功同构了谷歌的面试，那么我的工作很可能就是在谷歌当一名软件工程师。你知道，这是个好问题。
Let me see. . . I would say I am, but that depends on what it means to be polite. I think being polite means respecting others and I try my best to do that.
我想想......我会说我是的，但是那取决于有礼貌意味着什么。我认为有礼貌意味着尊重他人，而我会尽力做到这一点。
