回答演示:

Well,I have to say that they are different in many ways.  But the main one is that young people are more likely to accept advice that are different and exciting, you know,young people are usually curious and adventurous, they would like to try new things. In comparison to the young,most of the older people are conservative and careful ,so usually they would take the more practical advice,I think.

回答演示:

It is obvious that there’re plenty of ways to give advice to young people and it varies from people to people, like talking, writing and things like that.  But I believe the most effective way would be to actually show them how to do something, you know, like setting a good example, instead of only teaching lessons.  Like for instance, if parents would like their children to study more, they should do it themselves instead of watching TV while the children are studying. Besides, trying to understand the young people before giving them advice is also a good way.

4. 具体建议

真题重现:If you were to give one piece of advice to young people, what would it be?

题目解析:

思路:建议型问题,给出正面回答后,适当补充细节信息。(需要注意的是:需要在答案中加入虚拟语气的表达,这是得分的一个关键点。同时,考生要了解suggestion与advice的一些不同:suggestion为可数名词,通常泛指一种想法,如:I suggest we eat out tonight ; advice为不可数名词,通常指'the best thing to do',意思更为深入和抽象,如:I advice you not to waste too much of  your time on playing PC games. )

句型:

1) I'd .... (suggest, recommend, say, tell him/her/them) ....

2) Maybe/perhaps/possibly ... + could / should ...

3) It might/may help if ....+ past tense form of verb

4) It would probably + (be a good idea, be useful, help) if  + past tense form of verb

5) I .... (suggest, recommend, say) ....

回答演示:

Well,possibly I would advise them not be afraid to make mistakes and never give up their dreams.  You know,when people are young,they have plenty of time, so if they made mistakes they would have chances to correct them.
