雅思口語邏輯拓展——分類法

在回答雅思口語問題，尤其是Part1的時候，一般疑問句大約占60%以上。例如：

Do you work or are you a student?

Do you enjoy watching sports?

Do you like going boating?

Have you ever travelled by boat?

對于這種問題，回答無非是四種路線：

1)是

2)否

3)沒準兒

4)我不知道，但我猜

學生在回答選擇第三種答題思路，也就是“it depends”的時候，答案往往缺失邏輯、結構混亂。實際上以三種簡單的分類標準就能很清晰的把“it depends”回答清楚的拓展開。下面以問題“What kinds of names are popular in China？”為例說明。

1.分人群（性別、年齡、單人/群體）

Well it depends. For women, names with the character “mei” are very common since it signifies beautiful. For men, the character “jun” is commonly used coz they mean to be gentle and good-looking. 

2.分時間

Well it depends. In the past era, “jianguo” and “jianjun” are very common coz we focused more on making contribution to our country. Now, “qianxi”and “yuan”are welcomed names because we emphasize more on personal happiness and individual  achievements.

3.分地區(qū)

Well it really depends on the regions where people are from. For people from the northern part of China, XXX is quite common. I think it’s the fierce climate really fostered straightforward personality for the northerners so they prefer to use names with obvious meanings. While for people from the south, they use XXX because the traditional culture is better reserved in the south.

往往把分類確定好，思路也會隨之而出。再例如“Do Chinese people like shopping?”這個問題, 學生在回答完“Yes”之后就不知道該說些什么來拓展。如果這時候把“people”分了“男女”兩類，那么“clothes， bags, jewelries” 和“electronic products”這兩大類物品便很快就能想到，學生也能很順利的舉例子繼續(xù)進行答案的拓展。
