高分回答范例:
(Introduction) "I'd like to talk about a gift I gave to my best friend, Lily, on her last birthday. It was a rather special gift, and the process of choosing it was as meaningful as the gift itself."
(Main Body - What, Who, Why) "The gift was a beautifully bound, first-edition copy of her favorite author's classic novel. Lily has been an avid reader since we were kids, and this particular author has had a profound influence on her life. She often talks about how the author's words have helped her through difficult times and shaped her worldview.
I chose this specific first-edition copy because I knew it wasn't just a book; it was a piece of history and a collector's item. I spent weeks searching through second-hand bookstores and online marketplaces. I wanted to give her something that wasn't only thoughtful but also a tangible symbol of our long-standing friendship and my deep understanding of her passions. It was a bit of a challenge to find a copy in good condition, but the hunt made the final gift even more precious to me."
(Feelings & Reaction) "When Lily unwrapped the gift, her reaction was priceless. At first, she was just confused, as it was wrapped in plain brown paper. But as she saw the cover and recognized the title, her eyes widened in disbelief. She started to tremble a little and then just burst into tears. She hugged me so tightly and kept saying, 'This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me.' She was overwhelmed, not just by the book's value, but by the fact that I had paid so much attention to her interests and had put in so much effort to find something so perfect for her."
(Conclusion) "That gift remains one of my most cherished memories. It taught me that the most valuable presents are not the most expensive ones, but those that show you truly know and care about a person. Seeing her happiness and knowing that I had contributed to such a special moment for her was an incredibly rewarding feeling."
高分思路:
- 故事性: 将整个过程包装成一个有情节的小故事。
- 细节丰富: 描述寻找礼物的过程 (searching through second-hand bookstores), 对朋友的了解 (avid reader, profound influence)。
- 情感升华: 解释礼物的深层意义 (a tangible symbol of our friendship)。
- 生动描绘: 用生动的词语描述对方的反应 (eyes widened, burst into tears, hugged me so tightly)。
Part 3: Two-way Discussion (深入讨论)
考官会根据Part 2的话题进行更抽象、更深入的提问。
可能的问题:
- Do you think it's important for people to spend a lot of money on gifts? Why/Why not?
- What do you think is the difference between buying a gift and making one yourself?
- In your culture, are there any rules about what kinds of gifts are appropriate or inappropriate?
- Do you think advertising has an influence on what people give as gifts?
- Do you think modern technology, like e-commerce, has changed the way people give gifts?
高分回答范例 (以问题1为例):
"That's a really interesting question. I'd have to say that while spending a lot of money can be one way to show affection, I don't think it's fundamentally important. The true value of a gift, in my opinion, lies in the thoughtfulness behind it.
For instance, a handmade card or a carefully chosen book that aligns with someone's interests can be far more meaningful than an expensive, generic item. An expensive gift might even come across as insincere if it's given without a genuine understanding of the person's needs or desires. Ultimately, it's the gesture and the emotional connection that count, not the price tag. A gift that shows you've paid attention to the recipient's personality and passions will always be more appreciated than one that simply screams 'expensive'."
高分思路:
- 直接亮明观点: "I don't think it's fundamentally important."
- 给出理由: "The true value... lies in the thoughtfulness behind it."
- 对比论证: "For instance, a handmade card... can be far more meaningful than an expensive, generic item."
- 提出更深层的观点: "An expensive gift might even come across as insincere..."
- "Ultimately, it's the gesture and the emotional connection that count, not the price tag."
