几个例子:
1. Should parents set goals for children?
It depends. On the one hand, if the goals are reasonable for children, their parents should set it. This is because reasonable targets are helpful when children are in the process of problem solution. However, if the goals are beyond kids’ reach, their parents had better avoid setting them. It will only lead to burdens to their kids with too many goals to realize.
雅思口语考试Part 3中经常会出现分类讨论的情况,在不同的论点之间需要适当地运用连接词,对于不同的逻辑关系(并列、转折、补充、因果等等),可以从上面的表格里选择适当的关系词。
2. Do parents in your countries spend a lot of time with their children?
Well, it’s hard to say. The first thing I should mention is that for those white-collar parents, they don't have too much time to stay with their children during the weekdays. They're very busy with their work and some of them may work until late at night, for the purpose of winning the promotion and to survive in the competitive society, so they can only have the happy family time with their children during the weekends and holidays. Whereas, for those parents who have their own business, they have more time to stay with their children. That is because these parents don’t have to get up early and arrived at the office on time every day as they can arrange the daily schedule according to their daily schedule, so they can spend a lot of time with their children.
以上的一些连接词大家一定要在平时的口语联系中多家运用,在英语中,名词、动词、形容词等有成千上万,但连接词就那么几十个,熟练掌握这些连接词的使用方法会为雅思口语增色不少。
