要报名参加雅思考试的朋友看这里,下面是出国留学网雅思考试栏目提供“2017年雅思口语备考资料:观点还是事实”,希望可以帮助到大家!
观点还是事实(opinions or facts)
其实这两件事情的拎不清是普遍存在的,不仅仅是在雅思口语中。而且想要把这两样东西完全分清楚在我看来绝不是件易事。
但如果我们在“opinion”和“fact”出现比较严重的混淆或有点拎不清的话,我觉得在这里我就有必要给大家说一说了。
同学们在回答问题时有时会容易把opinion当fact来说。说多了就会给人一种很武断的感觉。比如:
If children bring cellphones to school, it will affect their studies.
Some foreigners in China are interested in Chinese culture, so they are willing to try Chinese food.
More and more Chinese parents have seen the benefits of studying abroad, so they will send their children to get a university degree in a foreign country.
孩子带手机去学校就会影响他们学习?
老外喜欢中国文化就会去吃中国菜?
出国留学好家长就一定会送孩子出去?
其实我们可以发现回答都是在推测或推理。所以遇到这种问题时,我们最好在表达中体现你的回答不是一个事实(或板上钉钉即将发生的事实)。
接下来,老师简单地对上面三句话做一些改动,大家再看看:
If children bring cellphones to school, it will, in my opinion, affect their studies.
Some foreigners in China are interested in Chinese culture, so it is possible/ likely/ chances are that they are willing to try Chinese food.
More and more Chinese parents have seen the benefits of studying abroad, so they will consider the possibility of sending their children to get a university degree in a foreign country.
同时,我们有时也会把“fact”当成“opinion”来说。其实老师替大家感到惋惜——本来可以大大方方地“事实胜于雄辩”,但偏偏要“以理服人”,往往听上去不够真实。
我们简单地看几个例子:
