在前面的文章當中我們小顧老師給大家介紹過很多雅思口語話題素材，本期我們繼續給大家介紹下雅思口語Part3素材-貴的活動(expensive things)希望對同學們雅思備考有所幫助！

1.Why do some people prefer buying expensive things?

I believe that’s because some people

associate price with best quality, although it’s not always the case that if

you buy one thing with a hefty price tag, you’ll always get the excellent quality. That’s the mentality of some people, however, we can’t blame them anyway, since it’s been proven that most cheap things won’t last long. As for me,

I’d rather buy one expensive thing that will be usable for a long period

of time than spending on buying a low-priced item that is not durable. I think that way is more economical and that I believe has made people choose to buy expensive things over cheap ones.  

譯文：我覺得這是因為有些人將價格與最佳質量相關聯，盡管并非總是貴就好。這就是某些人的心態，但是我們也不能怪他們，因為事實說明大多數便宜的東西用不了很久。對我而言，我寧愿買一種可以長期使用的昂貴物品，也不愿買不耐用的便宜貨。我認為這種方式更經濟，這讓人們選擇購貴的而不是便宜的。

解析：用比較的方式進行了拓展。語法方面使用了最高級、if句、被動語態、將來時、從句、比較急、現在完成時等多種結構。

2.What kind of expensive things do people like to buy?

I’m not sure about that but I suppose people tend to buy expensive electronic gadgets, clothes, shoes, among others. Well, as you know a lot of people nowadays go for branded gadgets like those from gia

nt companies like Apple and Samsung, simply because they’re durable, stylish, and someti

mes serve as a status symbol. Also, some people want to dress in designer label clothes because those make them feel good and fashionable. I think it’s good to reward ourselves with some expensive things every now and then as long as we can afford to buy them, but having said that,

we also need to be aware not to splurge on expensive things that won’t add value to our lives.

譯文：我不確定，但我想人們會傾向于購買昂貴的電子產品，衣服，鞋子等。現在很多人都喜歡品牌產品，例如蘋果和三星等大型公司的產品，因為它們耐用，時尚，有時還可以作為一種身份象征。另外，有些人喜歡穿名牌服裝，因為它們讓人感覺良好且時尚。我認為，只要負擔得起，時不時地以一些昂貴的東西獎勵自己挺好的，話雖如此，我們也要注意不要亂花錢在那些對我們生活沒啥用的東西上。

解析：使用了大量話題詞匯來拓展回答，提升FC和LR表現。

3.What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rich?

Oh, I can only assume as I’m not wealthy, generally,

as what the ordinary people perceive the rich, they have financial freedom which simply means they can afford to live way beyond their means.

That is, they can enjoy the luxuries or buy things they need or want anytime at least without worrying, unlike the poor people who can’t even afford. As for the different disadvantages,

I’m sure they have more obligations in terms of tax, their business liabilities, and the like. Considering those disadvantages, I realized that life is fair, rich people do have problems too like the poor ones, the only difference is that the degree of the problem. In other words, you may be poor or rich, there will always be challenges and there’ll always be reasons to be grateful for. So everything is balanced then.

譯文：噢，我只能猜猜因為我不是有錢人。一般來說，就像普通百姓對富人的看法一樣，他們有財務自由，可以買奢侈品，買什么都不必為錢操心，不像窮人那樣買不起。至于壞處，我想他們在稅收，商業責任等方面有更多的義務。考慮到這些，我意識到生活是公平的，富人也確實像窮人一樣有問題，唯一的區別是問題的程度。換句話說，無論貧富，總會有挑戰，也總有理由要感恩。一切都是平衡的。

解析：遇到不熟悉、一時沒思路的問題，盡管去猜，保持語流，不需要擔心說錯什么，只要是在表達自己的觀點、保持溝通的狀態即可。


解析：Part3題目的拓展，最好是能舉出具體的例子，這樣可以輕松做到7分評分標準里的speak at length，同時展示詞匯水平。如果你真的想考到口語7分，就多用點心，盡管考場題目可能和題庫有所區別，但話題是一樣的，大家仍然可以根據題庫題目的話題關鍵詞，去思考、搜集例子，準備詞匯和短語。
