Part 1 & Part 2: 高频问题及高分思路

Part 1 常见问题

Do you like art?

  • 高分思路: 不要只回答 "Yes, I do.",展开说明喜欢什么类型的艺术,为什么喜欢,以及它对你的影响。
  • 范例回答: "Absolutely, I'm a big fan of art, especially modern and contemporary design. I find it fascinating how artists and designers can use various mediums to express ideas and emotions. For me, it's not just about visual appeal but also the story and concept behind the work."

Do you think art classes are necessary? Why?

  • 高分思路: 给出平衡的观点,可以先说必要性,再补充一些其他方面的重要性。
  • 范例回答: "I believe they are highly beneficial, though perhaps not strictly 'necessary' for everyone. On one hand, art classes are crucial for nurturing creativity and self-expression from a young age. They teach people to see the world differently. On the other hand, for those who aren't artistically inclined, they can still serve as a great stress reliever and a way to appreciate beauty in everyday life."

Is there any art (like a painting or sculpture) that you like?

  • 高分思路: 描述一个具体的作品,说出它的特点、作者以及你为什么喜欢它。
  • 范例回答: "Yes, I'm particularly fond of the works of Antoni Gaudí, the Spanish architect. His designs, like the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, are absolutely breathtaking. He blended nature, religion, and architecture in a way that feels both whimsical and profound. I love the organic, fluid forms and the incredible attention to detail."

Do you like the design of your home? Why?

  • 高分思路: 描述你家的设计风格,并解释你喜欢它的原因(如:舒适、实用、有个人特色等)。
  • 范例回答: "Generally, yes. The design of my home is quite minimalist, with a lot of natural light and simple, clean lines. I really appreciate this style because it creates a sense of calm and space. It's also very practical, making it easy to keep tidy. It reflects my personal preference for a clutter-free and peaceful environment."

这是一个非常经典的题目,下面提供一个高分范例。

Part 2 高分范例

(Answering the cue card: Describe a piece of design that you like)

"Alright, I'd like to talk about a piece of design that has always impressed me, which is the Apple AirPods Pro. It's not just a piece of technology; to me, it's a masterpiece of industrial design.

I first saw them when a friend of mine bought a pair a couple of years ago. He let me try them, and I was immediately blown away by their design philosophy. I've since seen countless advertisements and reviews online, but the first-hand experience was what truly cemented my admiration.

So, what are they like? Well, on the surface, their design is incredibly sleek and minimalist. The charging case is a smooth, white, pebble-like pod that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. It's a perfect example of form following function. The AirPods themselves are tiny, with a stem that makes them easy to insert and remove. The design language is consistent with Apple's broader aesthetic – clean, simple, and premium. But the genius of the design isn't just in how they look, but in how they feel and work. The fit is so secure and comfortable that you can forget you're wearing them. The user-friendly interface, where you can control music and take calls with a simple tap, is also a key part of their excellent design.

As for why I like them so much, it's a combination of several factors. Firstly, the aesthetics are just beautiful. The white color and smooth curves give them a timeless and elegant look. Secondly, and more importantly, the functionality is outstanding. They deliver high-quality sound and, most impressively, active noise cancellation. The way the design seamlessly integrates technology into a comfortable, almost invisible, device is just brilliant. It’s a perfect balance of art and engineering. They don't just solve a problem; they enhance the entire user experience. It's a design that prioritizes both beauty and practicality in equal measure, and for that, I have a great deal of respect."

    • 不同人群: 年轻人可能更看重设计和品牌,而年长一代可能更注重实用性和价格。

Do you think designers have a responsibility to society?
