雅思口语Part3不会拓展？从这4个角度轻松破题！|第二弹

众所周知，雅思口语Part3难度较大，但同时又是6.5+目标分数同学们必须要重点准备的部分；P3部分所涉及到的话题，很多对于高中生萌新们来说，很高深，很抽象，每一题似乎都可以单独拿出来作为一个大作文的题目；在P3部分没有拓展的方向，没有逻辑是常见的致命问题。

对于逻辑能力不是很好的同学来说，我们要花点心思去整理一些简单秒懂，同时又和题目强相关的逻辑链，然后再积累一些相关表达即可解决大部分看似很大很难的题目。

首先，来明确一个概念，什么叫简单粗暴的逻辑？一般来说，从金钱，时间，健康等角度去论证一个事物的利弊，往往比较轻松可以说明问题，说话人易于操作，听话人更是不会太有理解的困难，这就叫简单粗暴的逻辑。

今天我们先从金钱的角度来探讨一些P3的题目，一般来说，我们可以通过以下四个金钱角度来探讨事物：

1. high/low costs (prices, rent and bills, utilities…)

2. financial pressure (support oneself financially / provide for kids and family…)

3. pay/ salary （high/low）

4. economy / job opportunities

financial pressure

此文为连载（约4弹），今天来看第二弹，我们从financial pressure 的角度，来观察以下题目（后附一句话思路）：

Why don’t some people have dreams?
（现实残酷，生活压力大，忙着工作赚钱，哪里有时间有梦想，有也放弃了）

Do people have time for themselves nowadays?

（没有时间，毕竟要养活自己，压力很大，时间都用去工作赚钱，没有太多自己的时间）

Do you think it is important to save money? Why?

（当然重要，每一个人都要吃要喝要钱，经济压力很大，还要买房买车，不存钱怎么行）

Why would middle-aged people tend to second guess their own decisions?
（中年人，上有老下有小，经济压力大，患得患失，很容质疑自己的决定，很怕决定错误）

Why do people get up early?
（要早起工作啊，不然哪里来钱养活自己，用什么付房租水电？）

Are kids happier than adults? Why?

（成年人不快乐，要工作，要养家，经历压力很大）

Is it hard for adults to continue learning? Why?

（很困难，因为要工作，要赚钱养家，没有太多时间继续学习，在学习的时候也无法专注）

现在我们一起来串一下逻辑，并积累相关的词组和表达：

例题 1：

Why don’t some people have dreams

had dreams long ago > enter society / enter the workplace > reality is harsh > need money to pay rent and bills > struggle to make ends meet > have to work, work, work > no time to dream / have given up on dreams

注释：

make ends meet 勉强度日

例题 2 ：

Do you think it is important to save money? Why?

everybody has to save money > living cost is so high > need money to buy food, pay rent and bills; have financial goals to achieve: buy a house / save for kids’ education / save for retirement > many end up having nothing when you get older if you don’t save > life will be miserable

例题 3 ：

Do people have time for themselves nowadays?

not much time for themselves > have to work all the time (a 996 work schedule ) to make money (to pay living cost)；usually a back breaking job > often feel burnout/exhausted > no time to develop hobbies and interests / go on a vacation / take care of health …

注释：

burnout 精疲力竭的

backbreaking 艰苦繁重的

例题4

Why would middle-aged people tend to second guess their own decisions?

need to provide for family > under financial pressure > very cautious when it comes to decision-making > not sure if it’s the right decision, may cause financial loss > family going to suffer; so much at stake > always hard for middle-aged people to make big decisions

注释：

provide for family 养家

at stake 处于风险当中

例题 5 ：

Is it hard for adults to continue learning? Why?

extremely hard > under great financial pressure (rent and bills, provide for family ), have to work hard > can only study after your shift is over > not much time and also hard to stay focused (so many distractions) > learning efficiency is low

注释：

your shift is over 工作结束了

注意：以上所有思路只是这一题的某一个层次，完整回答一个P3的题目，最好是有2个及以上的层次和角度，今天我们仅仅从钱的角度分析（每个题都是可以是多角度多层次）。
