雅思口语中老生常谈的一道题是关于technology，围绕这一话题同学们演变出的电脑手机等设备考官也已不再陌生。如何在老段子里说出高分，让考官听到满意？今天小编和大家聊聊这个问题。

01 What can smartphones do these days?

　　02 Since most people do their work on computers, why do they still need to go to the offices?

　　03 Do you think people’s work in the future will be heavily affected by the technology?

　　04 Compare the pace of technological progress in the past and now.

　　1. What can smartphones do these days?

思路：

智能手机在我们的生活中已经非常常见了，因此出现在雅思口语的话题当中也不足为奇，关于智能手机可以用来干些什么，其实我们只要稍微梳理一下我们平时使用手机的习惯和目的，就可以很好地将这个回答整合出来了。在今天提供的示范答案中，强烈建议同学们根据自己的情况进行增减和改善。

同时，很多同学应该记得在part 2当中有一个非常高频的话题叫做describe a smartphone app，要求我们描述一个智能手机上的应用。这个题目持续了很长时间，但是同学们在回答本part 3的问题的时候，千万注意不要跑偏，可以略微带一带“应用”的内容，但是不可以把整个重心变成说某一个app;同时，虽然智能手机有很多高大上的功能，但是如果我一时半会儿想不起来怎么组织语言，那么从最基本的功能入手，略微讲解一下发短信(send text messages)或者是打电话(make phone calls )，都是可以的。

示范答案：

Well, smartphones are, after all, phones, so they can basically meet all the expectations we should have for ordinary mobile phones. That is to say, we can still use a smartphone to send text messages or make phone calls. However, smartphones are more than that. For example, we can use a wide range of smartphone applications, which have all kinds of functions, from offering discounts tohelping us keep fit. Besides, smartphones can always access internet, which means we can search literally for everything at anytime with smartphones. This sounded like science fiction in the past, but offers great convenience at present.

2. Since most people do their work on computers, why do they still need to go to the offices?

思路：这个题目是这样子的，它预设了一个场景，就是“大多数人都使用电脑工作了”，然后引出问题;如果这是一个其它考试当中的思辨类的写作题目，我个人会建议老老实实按照题设去写，但是对于我们雅思口语这样一个着重考察交流能力的项目，我们完全没有必要被题目所禁锢住。我们需要保证自己的答案有逻辑、有落脚点、细致明确即可。我们尝试着按照下面的思路步骤来：首先即使大部分人都使用电脑工作了，那么极有可能他们有很多其它工作是需要跟同事合作完成的、需要面对面的解决的;即使没有需要面对面解决的工作问题，办公室也提供了一个专门的工作场所，比在家里要专业、方便的多，并且对于部分人来说，家是一个放松的地方，并不合适拿来办公。最后，我们甚至可以破除题目本身的设置，摆出事实：就是确实已经有不少人能够做到远程办公，或者弹性工作时间了。这样一来，这个part 3的答案还是可以有不少内容说的。

示范答案：

Well, I have to say, although computers can help us work out most problems, there are still many things, which need to be discussed face-to-face, so offices provide an ideal place for colleagues to meet and consult with each other. Besides, for some people, homes are very cozy and private places, not suitable for working, so they would rather commute to offices than bring work home, even though digital technologies have made remote workingavailable. Having said those, a trend of working from home as well as working flexible hours has become increasingly more popular. I think this should be attributed to the use of computer technology.

3. Do you think people’s work in the future will be heavily affected by the technology?

思路：

这个题目大家可以和“交通，transport”这个话题下的一个问题对比来看一看，为什么呢，因为从回答的角度来说，答案都存在一定的迷惑性。交通话题下的那个题目叫做：你认为交通还可以有被改善的地方吗?这种题目我们如果回答no，显得非常绝对，难道未来真的就没有改善空间了吗?难道未来工作就不会被技术影响了吗?如果回答yes呢，一时半会儿又想不到有哪些内容可以来支撑自己的观点，因此陷入两难的境地。这里特别提醒一下大家复习一下过去的题目内容。

回到这个题目上面来，我们同样可以套用当时的一个想法，就是老老实实地交代：我认为现在这种影响已经很多了，我想不出来将来还会有怎么样的影响。注意这里的重心应该是：我想不出来有什么样的影响，而不是决绝地说成“不会有任何影响”;同样，回答yes的时候应该快速的组织语言内容，争取有逻辑地罗列答案信息。针对这个题目，我们可以将现有的技术带来的影响进行深化描述。另外，这个题目有一个比较细节的修饰词，就是heavily，极大地。这个也是我们可以发挥的一个点。

示范答案：

Well, since we are not unfamiliar with the great influences the technology has exerted on our current work, I guess most of us find it natural that technology should continue to affect our work in the future. However, it’s absurd that although we know that this would happen, we yet don’t know how. In conclusion, I think I can simply say that there will still be amazing changes on work due to the development of technology; but we can hardly sense the change until it solidly comes true.

4. Compare the pace of technological progress in the past and now.

思路：首先是对pace这个词的理解，这个题目可以理解为“比较过去和现在的技术发展的节奏”，换言之，过去和现在都有技术的发展，只是步伐不同，节奏不同。千万不要简单地说成过去的东西和现在的东西的对比，比如如果我们说，过去没有笔记本电脑但是现在有了，那么可能后面很难把这个答案和pace联系起来。

建议大家，我们可以从自己最熟悉的内容入手，比如通讯科技，过去可能要好几年才能有一个新产品，但是现在的手机更新换代之快，我们往往来不及反应过来，自己的手机就out of date了，这样一想，对于pace的解读，其实就体现在一个快字上。现在的progress更快了。悟出来这个点，其实我们的答案就可以围绕这个快字展开了。

示范答案：

Well, there have been technological changes all the time and it doesn’t take a genius to find them. But speaking of the pace of the changes, I thi

nk it varies. Generally speaking, things are happening much faster now than it was in the past. For example, in the past, it took several years for one up-grade of telecommunication whereas now, replacement and reproduction of mobile phones can happen within several months. This can also be applied to most other aspects of technology development.
