Part 1 常见问题及高分回答范例

Question 1: Do you like meeting new people?

• 低分回答: "Yes, I do." / "No, I don't." (过于简单，没有展开)

• 高分回答范例:

  • (喜欢)

    "Absolutely! I find it really fascinating and enriching. Meeting people from different walks of life can expose you to new perspectives, stories, and ways of thinking. It's like adding a new color to the palette of your life."

    • 解析: 使用了 "absolutely" 加强语气，用 "fascinating and enriching" (有趣且充实的) 来描述感受，用 "expose you to new perspectives" (让你接触到新视角) 来解释原因，最后用了一个生动的比喻 "adding a new color to the palette of your life" (为生活调色盘增添新色彩)，显得很高级。

  • (不太喜欢)

    "To be honest, I'm not the most outgoing person. While I don't mind it, I wouldn't say I actively seek out opportunities to meet strangers. I tend to feel a bit reserved at first, and I prefer deeper connections with a smaller circle of people I already know well."

    • 解析: 使用 "To be honest" 开头，显得真诚，用 "not the most outgoing person" (不是最外向的人) 来委婉表达，解释了原因：感到 "reserved" (内向的)，并且更喜欢 "deeper connections" (更深层次的连接)，展示了自我认知。

Question 2: Where do you usually meet new people?

• 低分回答: "At school." / "At parties."
• 高分回答范例:

  "I'd say my primary venues are university and through various interest-based clubs. At university, you're constantly surrounded by peers who share similar academic goals. Additionally, I'm a member of a hiking club, which is a fantastic way to meet like-minded individuals in a relaxed, informal setting where you can bond over a shared passion."

  • 解析: 回答结构清晰，"primary venues are..." (主要场所是...)，给出了两个具体例子：大学和兴趣俱乐部，并对每个例子进行了展开，比如在大学里是 "peers who share similar academic goals" (有相似学术目标的同龄人)，在俱乐部里是 "like-minded individuals" (志同道合的人) 和 "bond over a shared passion" (因共同的爱好而建立联系)。

Question 3: Is it easy for you to make friends?

• 低分回答: "Yes, it's easy." / "No, it's difficult."
• 高分回答范例:

  "I think it depends on the context. In an environment like university or a workplace, where there's a common ground to start with, I find it quite natural to strike up a conversation and build a friendship. However, in a completely new and unfamiliar setting, like a party full of strangers, I can be a bit shy at first and it might take me a little while to warm up."

  • 解析: 避免了绝对化的回答，使用了 "it depends on the context" (这取决于具体情况)，通过对比 "university or a workplace" 和 "a party full of strangers" 两种不同场景，展示了思维的复杂性和语言的组织能力，使用了 "strike up a conversation" 和 "warm up" (热络起来) 等地道短语。

Part 2 话题卡、思路解析及高分回答范例

Describe a time you met someone for the first time. You should say:

• Who this person was
• Where and when you met them
• What you talked about
• And explain how you felt about this meeting.

思路解析:

1. Who: 选择一个有故事性、容易描述的人物，可以是一个朋友、一个有趣的陌生人、一个老师等，避免选择家人。
2. Where & When: 给出具体的细节，"a cozy bookstore on a rainy Sunday afternoon" (一个下着雨的周日下午，在一家温馨的书店)，这能让画面感更强。
3. What you talked about: 这是核心，不要只说 "we talked about the weather"，要描述一个有趣的、有深度的对话内容，你们因为一本书聊起了对人生的看法，或者因为一个共同爱好聊得热火朝天。
4. How you felt: 描述从开始到结束的情绪变化，开始时 "a bit hesitant" (有点犹豫)，聊着聊着变得 "completely engrossed" (完全投入)，最后感到 "a genuine connection" (真诚的连接)。

高分回答范例:

"I'd like to talk about the first time I met my current best friend, Leo. It was about three years ago, during the first week of university. We were both feeling a bit overwhelmed and homesick, sitting alone in a common area.

He was this tall, lanky guy with a friendly smile, and he noticed me looking a bit lost. He approached me and asked if the seat next to me was taken. I said yes, and he just sat down and broke the ice by saying something like, 'This place is huge, isn't it? I feel like I need a map just to find the canteen!' That simple, relatable comment made me laugh instantly, and the awkwardness just melted away.

We ended up talking for about two hours. We discovered we were both from the same province, which was a great starting point. But what really connected us was our shared passion for classic movies. We spent the entire time debating the merits of directors like Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino. It was so refreshing to meet someone who was just as enthusiastic and knowledgeable about that niche interest as I was.

After that conversation, I felt an immediate sense of ease and excitement. It was one of those rare moments where you just click with someone. I no longer felt alone in this new environment. That chance encounter in a common area turned out to be the beginning of a truly wonderful friendship. To this day, I'm still amazed at how a simple 'hello' can lead to something so meaningful."

• 解析:
  • 结构清晰: 按照 "Who-Where-What-How" 的顺序，层层递进。
  • 细节生动: "lanky guy" (瘦高的家伙), "broke the ice" (破冰), "awkwardness just melted away" (尴尬感烟消云散)。
  • 内容具体: 对话内容从 "finding the canteen" (找食堂) 过渡到 "debating directors" (争论导演)，展现了关系的深入。
  • 情感真挚: 描述了从 "overwhelmed and homesick" (不知所措和想家) 到 "a sense of ease and excitement" (一种轻松和兴奋感) 的转变，结尾升华了主题，"a simple 'hello' can lead
