Cambridge IELTS 5
Test 1
Part 1
第一部分考查的是simple and familiar questions，除了confirmation（确认身份信息）类的话题，其余都要求答满三句话。
每个问题的回答模式是：topic sentence + details（5W1H—Who, Where, When, What, Why 和How）。
1. Which part of your country do most people live in?
真题解析：
首先是topic sentence（以下缩写为TS），本题可以给出真实答案，如果实在不知道就随便说一个自己记得起的方位词，用方位词eastern/northern/western/southern。
Where/What：可以说有哪几个省。
Why：形容一下当地气候，或者联系经济状况，可以运用词伙，如it’s like spring all the year round（四季如春）， fast-developing（快速发展的）。
这样就可答满三句话。
真题答案：
Well I guess it should be the eastern part of China, you know it’s one of the most fast developing area, and I can say that the climate there is kind of like spring all the year round.
2. Tell me about the industries there.
真题解析：
TS： 直接给出产业名称， 如chemical industry, mining industry, financial industry, manufacturing industry。
Why：有些题目也许与Where 不好联系，可直接说Why，基本上任何题型都可说Why，可以说资源丰富之类的。
When：例如，可以说since 1990。
真题答案：
There are many industries in that area, like manufacturing industry, chemical industry. And actually, manufacturing industry plays a significant role since the year 1990 because it’s a human-resource-rich place.
3. How easy it is to travel around your country?
真题解析：
TS：可以说easy，也可以否定（not like that），为了能多说一些内容，我们可以进行否定，再分条阐述。
What：可以说一些地方，进行举例。
When：什么时候适合travel。
Why：联系当地天气、地理位置、natural beauty。
真题答案：
Maybe not like that, it will be easy to travel if you live in a metropolis like Shanghai due to its convenient transportation; you can catch a flight to wherever you want to go. But in some suburban areas it will not be that easy.
4. Has your country changed a lot since you were a child?
真题解析：
TS：否定或肯定，推荐肯定。
What：什么方面变化了，如生活水平方式、living standard 或life style。
When：从什么时候开始，似乎就发生变化了，可以使用时间短语如the end of last century。
Where：哪些地方的变化比较明显，可用distinct（明显的）这类非常用词汇。
How：变化了多少，到何种程度。
Why：因为经济发展了，或执行了良好的政策。
真题答案：
Definitely, it changed a lot. As I see, most people around my country have had a better life and a higher living standard due to the police of reform and open to the outside world since last century. The most distinct change is that most people in China have mobile phones and you can find a computer in practically every family.
Part 2
Describe a well-know person you like or admire.
You should say:
who this person is
what this person has done
why this person is well-known
and explain why you like or admire him.
真题解析：
此题出现的频率非常高，可做多重变换，我们只需准备一个确切的答案就可应付多种题目，例如a singer or celebrity 等。
首先要运用TSC+T 框架（参见P316），这个是基本大纲，大家要养成按照这样的思维模式去讲的习惯。
答题要求：
注意时态，因为这能体现此人是否还在从事这项事业，例如姚明，只能说used to be a basketball player。
Brainstorming:
Ⅰ. Celebrity: renowned, fan, legendary
Ⅱ. A singer or musician: melody, lyric, harmony, album
真题答案：
Honestly speaking, Justin Timberlake is my idol. He was born and raised in Tennessee. Actually he should have a younger sister but unfortunately she died not long after her birth.
At first Justin joined the Disney TV programs because he looked cute: sparkling eyes and a very outstanding voice. But soon he lost interest as he found out singing is the thing he would like to do in the rest of his life. A songwriter was so impressed by his lovely voice and encouraged him to sign a record contract. Then he joined a popular boy group N’sync and released his first album, a very important one, when he was only 12. Actually, a bunch of songs became big hits and won awards for him. So far practically all his albums have been really well-liked.
Unlike the other singers, Justin ignores the press which gives him some bad boy appeal. I find that really attractive.
Despite singing, Justin is also a great actor. He even won a best-actress award several years ago. I really like him cos he is multi-talented. He never treats the press seriously but the press has to respect him for his incredible talent.
Part 3
★ Famous person in your country
1. What kind of people become famous people these days?
真题解析：
注意问题是问哪种人，例如singer, dancer 等，可先谈职业，再谈原因。第三部分答题方法与第一部分一样，按照5W1H 原则去拓展，遇到陌生词汇或盲点，可不根据现实来讲，转换为story, 能多说尽量多说。
真题答案：
Singer certainly, due to the high-pace life style, everyone need a way to relax. And as I see listening to music is definitely the most common hobby people have nowadays.
2. Is this different from the kind of achievement that made people famous in the past?
真题解析：
比较过去人们出名的条件和现在是否有别，可直接阐述自己的观点。
真题答案：
Well it is hard to say, cause comparatively speaking, celebrities nowadays do have a wider influence than their past counterparts. But it seems that they don’t have to do that much work with the help of Internet and other modern media. So maybe it has a little difference.
3. In what way?
真题解析：
此题要多说，就得着重谈Why。
真题答案：
Like I said, it will be much easier to be famous than in the past. You might need to upload a video which is stimulating and totally different from the others to be famous. That really depends, some people may not need to worry about how to be famous because the public just like their styles while the other who wish to be famous may not have that chance cos they are just normal beings.
4. How do you think people will get famous in the future?
真题解析：
此题要讲出新的东西比较难，不如就说和当今一样，举些例子。
真题答案：
Well I think I can say that it will stay the same, I mean the way to get famous. Internet is definitely the fastest way to get famous, only a click can make people around the world have a clear idea of who you are. In the future maybe we just still prefer to do this.
★ Being in the public eye
1. What are the good things about being famous? Are there any disadvantages?
真题解析：
最容易想到的便是隐私，但也有很多优点，尽量说得通俗，并举例。
真题答案：
You know, a bunch of advantages, like, it will be much easier to make money, most celebrities are wealthy people. Actually, being famous means you will have little privacy, paparazzi will find out every detail of you, like where you live and who is your friend etc. So I think they just have to find a way to keep balance.
2. How do the media in your country treat famous people?
真题解析：
最简单的就说和别的国家一样，很多题目我们大体讲一下就会很容易，实在不行再想别的东西，举例子也是一个扩充答案的方法。
真题答案：
I guess they are just doing the same job as their counterparts in other countries, like I said before, struggling to find out very detail they can to produce some news. Through this, I believe many people will become more famous because of the propaganda.
3. Why do you think ordinary people are interested in the lives of famous people?
真题解析：
可联系自身来讲，我们都是大众，所以有话语权。
真题答案：
Well we live in a gossip-filled world, so it sort of becomes our nature to pay close attention to other people’s life. I think it should be changed. Famous people have their own lives; we have no right to interfere in other people’s personal life.
