第二节 细节答题法

一、方法概述

细节答题法又可以叫做“举例答题法”。这种方法就是以实写虚，以小角度写大境界。在雅思口语考试中，有些考生喜欢说很深刻的大道理，其实我们更应该以小见大，举小例子来说明自己的观点。

二、真题重现

1. Examiner: After you graduate, what effect do you think you will have on society?

Candidate: Well, it's a tough question. Let me see. I think I can make an impact in our local community by helping those people around us when we can. We may not go down in history, but we may gain a place in someone's heart. That's all I can figure out now.

2. Examiner: What do you like and dislike about your college?

Candidate: I am very satisfied with the facilities in my college. The refectories serve tasty meals. And there are good sports facilities. The basketball court is a satisfactory example. All the equipments are in high standard, especially the playground. What I dislike is the location of my college. It is situated in the north suburb of Beijing. And the traffic is not very convenient.

3. Examiner: Do you think children should often visit museums?

Candidate: Yes, museums offer children the sources of learning that engross their minds in art and science visually. The novel displays can arouse children's curiosity and strong desire for learning. Besides, visiting museums helps them combine their book knowledge with practice. For example, after visiting the various fossils and specimens of animals and plants in the nature museum, children can understand better what they have learned in their biology class. So I think the teachers should always encourage children to go to museums and observe carefully.

4. Examiner: How can museums attract more people?

Candidate: Besides attractive and novel displays, museums need more humanized management to attract visitors. For example, they can hold free lectures for the public, and establish closer relationships with schools and institutes by providing the students with more free visits.

点评：考生在回答上述问题时，都提到了一些细节或具体的例子。从这些回答中我们可以看出，细节答题法的好处是能将“小我”的生活积累和具体实例与难度较大或主题宽泛的问题联系起来，从而使问题简单化，同时也为真实的、个性化的情感表达找到了一个合适的方式。
