大家寒假還開(kāi)心不？道個(gè)歉，最近拖更真不是有意的，是因?yàn)檎n太多了。作為培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)的老師，你們的假日就是我們最忙的工作日，所以真的很sorry，但真的沒(méi)有忘記你們。Part 2的完整答案很快也會(huì)安排上了，就剩幾道題目了。最近幾天每晚都在跟考官校對(duì)內(nèi)容和表達(dá)，希望呈現(xiàn)給大家最高質(zhì)量同時(shí)又是免費(fèi)的答案呀。

　　好了，廢話不多說(shuō)來(lái)給大家解題。今天給大家選擇講解的應(yīng)該算本季最難的話題之一了吧—《告訴朋友實(shí)情》。

　　Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth

　　You should say:

　　Who your friend is

　　What the truth was

　　What your friend’s reaction was

　　And explain why you think it was important to tell your friend the truth

　　這道題之所以被稱為難題就在于“Truth”這個(gè)單詞，很多同學(xué)直接將其翻譯為“實(shí)話”，接著又把內(nèi)容定義為“之前可能有欺騙的成分”在里面。但事實(shí)卻是，“truth”也可以解釋為“the true facts about sth, rather than the things that have been invented or guessed”（真相/事實(shí)）。這也就意味著“我沒(méi)有必要一定要講一個(gè)朋友被綠的故事”，我可以告訴她的事實(shí)是“跑步會(huì)讓小腿變粗”。

　　也正是如此，我們可以直接將這道題定性為“方向不明確型事件類話題”。本季度話題中，諸如《許下的承諾》，《有趣的談話》，《給別人建議》，《無(wú)聊的事》，《忘記重要的事情》都可歸為一類，它們的思考邏輯一致。

　　至于此類話題該如此思考，你不如先閱讀一遍我之前的推文—《事件類話題解題思路純干貨篇分享（下篇）》（點(diǎn)擊標(biāo)題查看全文）。在這篇推文里，我重點(diǎn)講解了“方向不明確型事件類事件類”話題的解題技巧。

　　按此類話題的思考邏輯來(lái)看，我們?cè)谒伎肌癟ruth”的時(shí)候需要先自定義區(qū)間范圍，也就是雅思口語(yǔ)的四大話題類別：People/ place/ object/ activity，接著我們就可以從這四塊著手對(duì)其分別進(jìn)行拆分。

　　假設(shè)我想聊的“Truth”和人有關(guān)，我就需要先來(lái)拆分“People”的維度。

　　在之前的推送中，我有拆分過(guò)“people”的維度，它包括：Hobby/ occupation/ personality/ appearance/ how you know (about)/ age/ life experience/ relationship/ where from (home address/ nationality/ hometown)/ education background/ family background/ social status/ marital status/ social network/ zodiac sign/ wealth/ sexuality/ habit/ language/ health/ popularity/ achievement/ name/ gender/ outlook etc.

　　這也就意味著我最終想聊的“truth”可能和其中的某一個(gè)維度有關(guān)。

　　這個(gè)“truth”可能和“habit”有關(guān)系，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人的習(xí)慣又可以分為“Diet/ Sleep/ Sports etc.”，所以我最終可以告知的事實(shí)，比如：

　　- “催吐會(huì)得厭食癥”

　　- “代餐并不一定能減肥”

　　- “喝奶茶容易得糖尿病”

　　- “熬夜會(huì)變胖”

　　- “晚上運(yùn)動(dòng)不是最好的選擇”

　　這個(gè)“truth”可能和“appearance”有關(guān)系，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人的外貌又可以分為“五官/身材/身高/發(fā)型/穿著”，所以我最終可以告知的事實(shí)，比如：

　　- “瘦臉針的危害”

　　- “經(jīng)常染頭發(fā)容易脫發(fā)”

　　這個(gè)“truth”可能和“health”有關(guān)系，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人的健康又可以分為“physical health & mental health”，所以我最終可以告知的事實(shí)，比如：

　　- “抑郁癥是需要吃藥才能控制的”

　　- “板藍(lán)根并不能抑制新冠病毒”

　　以上是我從“people”著手給的示例，你也可以嘗試從其他幾個(gè)方向著手來(lái)思考可能性的事實(shí)，比如：

　　- “大城市并非真的適合所有人”

　　- “出國(guó)留學(xué)容易得抑郁癥”

　　- “大公司不是想象中的圣地，小公司或者更能鍛煉人的能力”

　　- “Gap year會(huì)讓人失去斗志”

　　明確了你能講的話題內(nèi)容后，我們就可以結(jié)合小問(wèn)的答題結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)完成整篇內(nèi)容了。

　　01

　　Who your friend is

　　說(shuō)實(shí)話，事件類話題的小問(wèn)一般開(kāi)始于“when” & “where”之類的問(wèn)題，像這篇直截了當(dāng)?shù)某鰜?lái)“who”也是一件很尷尬的事情。一般而言，面對(duì)此種情況，我會(huì)自行加上有關(guān)時(shí)間地點(diǎn)的信息，然后再帶出第一問(wèn)需要的內(nèi)容。

　　對(duì)于“when”部分的拓展，我們可以直接按具體時(shí)間點(diǎn)的拓展格式進(jìn)行“Year-month-date-hour”, 再給出和“date”相關(guān)的信息時(shí)，我們可以用“天氣信息/星期幾/早中晚”來(lái)取代具體的日子，“hour”部分則可以用“before/after/while”來(lái)指代具體的時(shí)刻。

　　比如：It took place about a month ago. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. After having just woken up from a cat nap....

　　對(duì)于“where”部分的拓展，我們則可以給出相關(guān)的地點(diǎn)信息，諸如“l(fā)ocation”/“popularity”等。

　　比如：It took place about a month ago. I was hanging out with my friend, Anna and we went to a newly-opened Starbucks to have a cup of coffee. It was popular, so when we arrived, there were no seats for us. We just bought a coffee and then went to a park nearby to have a chat.

　　對(duì)于“who”部分的拓展，我們則可以從人的維度著手進(jìn)行拓展但最好你拓展的維度和你最終要講的事實(shí)有一定的關(guān)聯(lián)性。假設(shè)我想要說(shuō)的事實(shí)是“常染頭發(fā)會(huì)脫發(fā)”，我在第一問(wèn)的拓展就會(huì)從她的喜好和外貌著手，她是一個(gè)非常喜歡追逐潮流的人，同時(shí)喜歡嘗試各種新的發(fā)色。

　　最終，我們?cè)诨卮鸬谝恍?wèn)時(shí)就可以采取“when+who”或“when+where+who”的模式來(lái)開(kāi)啟一個(gè)故事。

　　Example one：

　　Actually it took place about a month ago. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. After having just woken up from a cat nap, my friend, Lisa called me and asked me to go to the hairdresser 理發(fā)師 with her, as she had decided to dye her hair again.

　　Lisa is a very fashionable young girl. She likes to follow the latest fashion trends. When there is a new color out, she likes to try it immediately on her hair.

　　Example two：

　　Well, it took place a couple of days ago. I was hanging out with my friend, Anna. She is a bubble tea 奶茶 lover and she is really addicted to it, she drinks at least 3 bottles of it every day. That day, we went to a newly-opened bubble tea store together. As it was popular, there was a long line and we had to wait.

　　02

　　What the truth was

　　有關(guān)第二問(wèn)的拓展，我們需要著力于“truth”本身。鑒于我們的“truth”可能是在揭示某個(gè)東西的不好或者說(shuō)明某個(gè)東西的好，我們便可從它對(duì)應(yīng)的優(yōu)勢(shì)或者劣勢(shì)進(jìn)行細(xì)節(jié)闡述。除此之外，我們也可以說(shuō)明這個(gè)事實(shí)的來(lái)源是哪或者你是怎么知道的。

　　Example one：

　　On the way to the hairdresser, I asked her if she knew about all the side effects 副作用 of dying her hair frequently. I told her that I had read an article which said that some people lose their hair as a result of too much bleach 漂發(fā) and it doesn't grow back.

　　Example two：

When we were waiting in the queue, I told her that she should reduce the amount of bubble tea she drinks. Even though it is tasty, it isn't really good for your health. I had just watched a video about a young girl our age who now suffers from diabetes 糖尿病 after drinking too much bubble tea.

　　03

　　What your friend’s reaction was

　　至于一個(gè)人對(duì)于“truth”的反應(yīng)，它大致有這么幾種：

　　慌張

　　因?yàn)槁?tīng)說(shuō)了之前不知道的事情，有些人會(huì)shocked甚至Panic，他們會(huì)意識(shí)到問(wèn)題的嚴(yán)重性并作出反思。

　　Example ：

　　My friend was a bit shocked and looked worried. She said that she drinks more bubble tea than that girl and she was afraid that she would suffer from diabetes as well. She decided on the spot 立刻/當(dāng)場(chǎng) to quit drinking bubble tea.

　　無(wú)所畏懼

　　有些人聽(tīng)到會(huì)不以為意，它們認(rèn)為這樣的事實(shí)可能對(duì)自己的影響不會(huì)太大，不管好的影響或者不好的。

　　Example ：

　　Well, my friend didn't seem too worried about it and it certainly didn't stop her from dying her hair again.  She said that as long as she uses a good quality hair dye she would be ok.

　　無(wú)所謂-慌張

　　有些人的心理則會(huì)發(fā)生變化，可能剛開(kāi)始不是很相信或者不認(rèn)同，但后來(lái)了解到真正的事實(shí)開(kāi)始慌張。

　　Example ：

Actually when my friend heard the truth, she didn’t think it was a big deal and carried on drinking her bubble tea. But when I showed her the video, she started to panic and thought she should stop drinking it, as she didn't want to experience the same thing the girl had.

　　04

　　Why it was important to tell the truth

　　對(duì)于為什么要告知事實(shí)，如果這個(gè)事實(shí)本身是不好的，比如：“喝奶茶會(huì)得糖尿病”，“常染頭發(fā)會(huì)脫發(fā)”，你的告知是出于擔(dān)心。

　　Example one：

I knew my friend wouldn't listen to me but I knew I  had to tell her just in case she hadn't read anything about it.  She loves to look good but i told her it wasn't worth losing her hair over. There are other things she could do to her hair to make herself look and feel good.

　　Example two：　Even though it was a bit hard to tell my friend the truth, it was still very important for me to tell her, as I was concerned about her health. She drank bubble tea like water. I knew If she kept up this habit, she would definitely have some problems like that girl. I didn’t want to see anything happen to my friend.

　　如果這個(gè)事實(shí)本身是好的，比如：“早起運(yùn)動(dòng)可以加速新陳代謝”，你的告知?jiǎng)t是為了讓對(duì)方有更好的發(fā)展。

　　好了，看完四小問(wèn)的拆分，你有想好自己要說(shuō)啥了不？
