IELTS Speaking : PART 3 COMMON QUESTION TYPES

(아이엘츠 스피킹 강좌 #20 : 파트 3 문제 타입 정리)

참조 : ielts-simon.com

아이엘츠 스피킹 파트 2가 개인적인 경험에 대해 이야기하는 것이 주가되는 반면, 파트 3는 보다 일반적인(Genaral)한 주제에 대해서 얘기한다.

 주제의 범위는 광범위하지만 크게 나누면 아래와 같이 3가지로 정리할 수 있다.

1. 비교와 대조 (Compare and contrast)

2. 의견제기 (Give an opinion)

3. 상상하기 (Imagine)

 토픽이 'cities' 일때 어떤 질문들이 나올 수 있는가 본다면 위의 분류가 보다 더 설득력있게 와닿을 것이다.

1. How is life different in cities compared to rural areas? (Compare and contrast)

2. How do you think life in big cities could be made easier? (Give an opinion)

3. What do you think cities will be like in 50 years time? (Imagine)

자 아래의 모변 답변을 보면서 어떤 표현들이 사용될 수 있는지 보고 반드시 정리할 수 있도록 하자.

1. Firstly, the cost of living in cities is much higher. Housing is much more expensive in cities compared to rural areas; everything costs more. I think life in cities is more difficult. There are more people, so there's more competition for jobs. Life is a lot slower in rural areas, everyone knows each other and there's a sense of community. I don't think rural areas experience the social problems that you find in cities, like crime and homelessness.

2. In my opinion cities need to be well-planned. Good public transport can definitely make life easier because there are so many people and it can be really stressful just to move around. Public areas like parks are also important because people need space to relax, and I think cities should be made into healthier places to live and work.

3. I imagine cities will be less polluted because we'll have electric cars and better public transport. More people might work from home so maybe cities won't be so busy. But I think there will probably still be problems because more and more people are migrating to cities. So I'm not so optimistic about issues like crime, homelessness and unemployment.
