【题目分析】

我们都知道要想在考试当中顺利完成part 2,时间限制是第一道关卡,考官会严格遵守时间限制。如果考生无法完成2分钟左右的陈述,可能就会跟考官有一段时间尴尬的“僵持”,那么一定会严重影响part2的得分。而卡片当中每条思路展开不够,便是达不到这一要求的罪魁祸首。那么在part 2当中更应该注意补充small details。

【题目分析】

Part 3是与考官“斗智斗勇”的最后一个环节,“further discussion”意味着我们要做好准备随时迎接考官的“难题”,而且如果你的回答不合逻辑,模棱两可,不能说服考官的话,就会面临更加苛刻的问题,或者就会被考官认为表达能力欠佳而得到低分。刚才的“低分答案”就是这样的一个例子,结构还算清楚,但是回答中的两个“different”,有些太抽象,估计把考官听的有点晕了。建议考生应该给出更加具体的说明,这样才能让考官心服口服。
