雅思口语part3遇到reading怎么办

　　Do you think people prefer to read books or magazines?

　　Sample answer：

　　Well, I can’t say this for sure, and I might be generalizing, but a lot of people probably prefer to read magazines. I’m only saying that because the society has sort of advanced into a more technological¹ one, and I feel that people have become accustomed to brief and instantaneous information. I mean, like nowadays people use social media all the time, where information always appears in a short and extracted form. Now this does save a lot of time, but it also leads to a lack of patience of reading a long book these days. That’s why I suppose magazines are perhaps more preferable to read.

　　Vocabularyadvance /?d’vɑ?ns/ 发展technological /tekn?’l?d??k(?)l/ 科技的be accustomed to /?’k?st?md/ 习惯于brief /brif/ 简短的instantaneous /,?nst(?)n’te?n??s/ 即时的social media /社交媒体/extracted /iks’tr?ktid/ 提取的

　　如何升级平淡的“阅读类”回答

　　1. 词汇替换

　　l 用genre³代替type

　　A genre is a particular type of literature, painting, music, film, or other art form which people consider as a class because it has special characteristics.

　　相信很多同学都认识genre这个词啦，在说到文学、电影、音乐、绘画等的种类题材时，都可以用它哦。

　　l 用sci-fi代替science fiction口语中巧用简化形式会让你更加native和fluent!同理，可以用sitcom来代替situation comedy.

　　2. 当你要说一本“非常好的”书时，除了用interesting, fascinating,…各种形容词形容它。其实还有更好的办法。

　　l 名词：page-turner(page+turn er，翻页翻到根本停不下来!)

　　例句：That book is a real page-turner!

　　l 动词：grab me from the first page(第一页就把我“抓住”了，意思立马被吸引住了，从此无法自拔)

　　例句：Les Miserables grabbed me from the first page.
