Jessica Beck: 我认为准备雅思口语第三部分的词汇，关键在于掌握语言功能，而不是死记硬背特定话题的词汇。考试中，无论题目是什么，考察的语言功能都是相似的，例如比较、对比、预测和表达观点。因此，我们应该针对这些语言功能准备相应的词汇和表达方式，这样才能在考试中灵活运用，取得高分。在表达观点时，我们可以使用一些更高级的表达方式，例如“to my mind”或“As I see it”，来代替常见的“I think”或“in my opinion”，使表达更高级，避免重复。同时，我们也要注意避免过度使用某些词语，例如“people”，并尝试使用同义词或其他表达方式进行替换，使语言更丰富多样。在预测未来时，我们可以使用一些更高级的表达方式，例如“it's nigh on impossible to know for certain”，来表达不确定性，同时也可以使用一些更学术的词汇，例如“proliferation”，来提升表达效果。总而言之，准备雅思口语第三部分的词汇，需要我们掌握语言功能，并针对不同的语言功能准备相应的词汇和表达方式。同时，我们也要注意语言的灵活性和多样性，避免重复使用相同的词语或表达方式。 Aubrey Carter: 我同意Jessica的观点，准备雅思口语第三部分的词汇，关键在于掌握语言功能。考试中的话题是不可预测的，但语言功能是固定的，我们需要针对这些语言功能准备相应的词汇和表达方式。例如，在比较过去和现在时，我们可以使用一些更自然的表达方式，例如“back in the day”，来代替“in the past”，使表达更生动自然。同时，我们也可以使用更丰富的形容词，例如“massive”，来代替“a lot of”，使表达更精准。在表达观点时，我们也可以使用一些更高级的表达方式，例如“to my mind”或“As I see it”，来代替常见的“I think”或“in my opinion”，使表达更高级，避免重复。总而言之，准备雅思口语第三部分的词汇，需要我们掌握语言功能，并针对不同的语言功能准备相应的词汇和表达方式。同时，我们也要注意语言的灵活性和多样性，避免重复使用相同的词语或表达方式，并尝试在不同语境下灵活运用这些词汇，才能在考试中取得高分。

Key Insights

What are the key skills needed to grow your career when using English at work?

Three key skills are needed: natural and spontaneous conversation skills to build crucial work relationships, the ability to respond clearly in fast-paced work discussions or meetings, and the power to switch between formal business talk and informal casual chats with coworkers.

What is a high-scoring vocabulary phrase for comparing the past to the present in IELTS Speaking Part 3?

A high-scoring phrase is 'back in the day,' which is more native and natural than 'in the past.' For example, 'Back in the day, young people simply didn't have access to such a massive amount of information.'

What phrase can be used to express uncertainty about the future in IELTS Speaking Part 3?

The phrase 'it's nigh on impossible to know for certain' is ideal for expressing uncertainty about the future. For example, 'It's nigh on impossible to know for certain, but I'd say the proliferation of social media will keep expanding.'

What is a high-scoring alternative to 'in my opinion' for expressing opinions in IELTS Speaking Part 3?

A high-scoring alternative is 'to my mind,' which is less common and therefore more impressive. For example, 'To my mind, running a small business has more cons than pros, to be honest.'

How can the phrase 'as I see it' be used effectively in IELTS Speaking Part 3?

The phrase 'as I see it' is a more formal and interesting way to express opinions. For example, 'As I see it, one needs to be extremely tech-savvy in order to run any business these days.' It also helps to paraphrase and avoid overusing common words like 'people.'

What does the term 'proliferation' mean, and how can it be used in IELTS Speaking Part 3?

The term 'proliferation' refers to a large and growing amount of something. For example, 'the proliferation of social media' means it is widespread and constantly expanding. It is a high-scoring vocabulary word suitable for both Speaking Part 3 and Writing Task 2.
