大家寒假還開心不？道個歉，最近拖更真不是有意的，是因為課太多了。作為培訓機構的老師，你們的假日就是我們最忙的工作日，所以真的很sorry，但真的沒有忘記你們。Part 2的完整答案很快也會安排上了，就剩幾道題目了。最近幾天每晚都在跟考官校對內容和表達，希望呈現(xiàn)給大家最高質量同時又是免費的答案呀。
好了，廢話不多說來給大家解題。今天給大家選擇講解的應該算本季最難的話題之一了吧—《告訴朋友實情》。
Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth
You should say:
Who your friend is
What the truth was
What your friend’s reaction was
And explain why you think it was important to tell your friend the truth
這道題之所以被稱為難題就在于“Truth”這個單詞，很多同學直接將其翻譯為“實話”，接著又把內容定義為“之前可能有欺騙的成分”在里面。但事實卻是，“truth”也可以解釋為“the true facts about sth, rather than the things that have been invented or guessed”（真相/事實）。這也就意味著“我沒有必要一定要講一個朋友被綠的故事”，我可以告訴她的事實是“跑步會讓小腿變粗”。
也正是如此，我們可以直接將這道題定性為“方向不明確型事件類話題”。本季度話題中，諸如《許下的承諾》，《有趣的談話》，《給別人建議》，《無聊的事》，《忘記重要的事情》都可歸為一類，它們的思考邏輯一致。
至于此類話題該如此思考，你不如先閱讀一遍我之前的推文—《事件類話題解題思路純干貨篇分享（下篇）》（點擊標題查看全文）。在這篇推文里，我重點講解了“方向不明確型事件類事件類”話題的解題技巧。
按此類話題的思考邏輯來看，我們在思考“Truth”的時候需要先自定義區(qū)間范圍，也就是雅思口語的四大話題類別：People/ place/ object/ activity，接著我們就可以從這四塊著手對其分別進行拆分。
假設我想聊的“Truth”和人有關，我就需要先來拆分“People”的維度。
在之前的推送中，我有拆分過“people”的維度，它包括：Hobby/ occupation/ personality/ appearance/ how you know (about)/ age/ life experience/ relationship/ where from (home address/ nationality/ hometown)/ education background/ family background/ social status/ marital status/ social network/ zodiac sign/ wealth/ sexuality/ habit/ language/ health/ popularity/ achievement/ name/ gender/ outlook etc.
這也就意味著我最終想聊的“truth”可能和其中的某一個維度有關。
這個“truth”可能和“habit”有關系，因為一個人的習慣又可以分為“Diet/ Sleep/ Sports etc.”，所以我最終可以告知的事實，比如：
- “催吐會得厭食癥”
- “代餐并不一定能減肥”
- “喝奶茶容易得糖尿病”
- “熬夜會變胖”
- “晚上運動不是最好的選擇”
這個“truth”可能和“appearance”有關系，因為一個人的外貌又可以分為“五官/身材/身高/發(fā)型/穿著”，所以我最終可以告知的事實，比如：
- “瘦臉針的危害”
- “經(jīng)常染頭發(fā)容易脫發(fā)”
這個“truth”可能和“health”有關系，因為一個人的健康又可以分為“physical health & mental health”，所以我最終可以告知的事實，比如：
- “抑郁癥是需要吃藥才能控制的”
- “板藍根并不能抑制新冠病毒”
以上是我從“people”著手給的示例，你也可以嘗試從其他幾個方向著手來思考可能性的事實，比如：
- “大城市并非真的適合所有人”
- “出國留學容易得抑郁癥”
- “大公司不是想象中的圣地，小公司或者更能鍛煉人的能力”
- “Gap year會讓人失去斗志”
明確了你能講的話題內容后，我們就可以結合小問的答題結構來完成整篇內容了。
01
Who your friend is
說實話，事件類話題的小問一般開始于“when” & “where”之類的問題，像這篇直截了當?shù)某鰜怼皐ho”也是一件很尷尬的事情。一般而言，面對此種情況，我會自行加上有關時間地點的信息，然后再帶出第一問需要的內容。
對于“when”部分的拓展，我們可以直接按具體時間點的拓展格式進行“Year-month-date-hour”, 再給出和“date”相關的信息時，我們可以用“天氣信息/星期幾/早中晚”來取代具體的日子，“hour”部分則可以用“before/after/while”來指代具體的時刻。
比如：It took place about a month ago. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. After having just woken up from a cat nap....
對于“where”部分的拓展，我們則可以給出相關的地點信息，諸如“l(fā)ocation”/“popularity”等。
比如：It took place about a month ago. I was hanging out with my friend, Anna and we went to a newly-opened Starbucks to have a cup of coffee. It was popular, so when we arrived, there were no seats for us. We just bought a coffee and then went to a park nearby to have a chat.
對于“who”部分的拓展，我們則可以從人的維度著手進行拓展但最好你拓展的維度和你最終要講的事實有一定的關聯(lián)性。假設我想要說的事實是“常染頭發(fā)會脫發(fā)”，我在第一問的拓展就會從她的喜好和外貌著手，她是一個非常喜歡追逐潮流的人，同時喜歡嘗試各種新的發(fā)色。
最終，我們在回答第一小問時就可以采取“when+who”或“when+where+who”的模式來開啟一個故事。
Example one：
Actually it took place about a month ago. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. After having just woken up from a cat nap, my friend, Lisa called me and asked me to go to the hairdresser 理發(fā)師 with her, as she had decided to dye her hair again.
Lisa is a very fashionable young girl. She likes to follow the latest fashion trends. When there is a new color out, she likes to try it immediately on her hair.
Example two：
Well, it took place a couple of days ago. I was hanging out with my friend, Anna. She is a bubble tea 奶茶 lover and she is really addicted to it, she drinks at least 3 bottles of it every day. That day, we went to a newly-opened bubble tea store together. As it was popular, there was a long line and we had to wait.
02
What the truth was
有關第二問的拓展，我們需要著力于“truth”本身。鑒于我們的“truth”可能是在揭示某個東西的不好或者說明某個東西的好，我們便可從它對應的優(yōu)勢或者劣勢進行細節(jié)闡述。除此之外，我們也可以說明這個事實的來源是哪或者你是怎么知道的。
Example one：
On the way to the hairdresser, I asked her if she knew about all the side effects 副作用 of dying her hair frequently. I told her that I had read an article which said that some people lose their hair as a result of too much bleach 漂發(fā) and it doesn't grow back.
Example two：
When we were waiting in the queue, I told her that she should reduce the amount of bubble tea she drinks. Even though it is tasty, it isn't really good for your health. I had just watched a video about a young girl our age who now suffers from diabetes 糖尿病 after drinking too much bubble tea.
03
What your friend’s reaction was
至于一個人對于“truth”的反應，它大致有這么幾種：
慌張
因為聽說了之前不知道的事情，有些人會shocked甚至Panic，他們會意識到問題的嚴重性并作出反思。
Example ：
My friend was a bit shocked and looked worried. She said that she drinks more bubble tea than that girl and she was afraid that she would suffer from diabetes as well. She decided on the spot 立刻/當場 to quit drinking bubble tea.
無所畏懼
有些人聽到會不以為意，它們認為這樣的事實可能對自己的影響不會太大，不管好的影響或者不好的。
Example ：
Well, my friend didn't seem too worried about it and it certainly didn't stop her from dying her hair again. ?She said that as long as she uses a good quality hair dye she would be ok.
無所謂-慌張
有些人的心理則會發(fā)生變化，可能剛開始不是很相信或者不認同，但后來了解到真正的事實開始慌張。
Example ：
Actually when my friend heard the truth, she didn’t think it was a big deal and carried on drinking her bubble tea. But when I showed her the video, she started to panic and thought she should stop drinking it, as she didn't want to experience the same thing the girl had.
04
Why it was important to tell the truth
對于為什么要告知事實，如果這個事實本身是不好的，比如：“喝奶茶會得糖尿病”，“常染頭發(fā)會脫發(fā)”，你的告知是出于擔心。
Example one：
I knew my friend wouldn't listen to me but I knew I ?had to tell her just in case she hadn't read anything about it. ?She loves to look good but i told her it wasn't worth losing her hair over. There are other things she could do to her hair to make herself look and feel good.
Example two： Even though it was a bit hard to tell my friend the truth, it was still very important for me to tell her, as I was concerned about her health. She drank bubble tea like water. I knew If she kept up this habit, she would definitely have some problems like that girl. I didn’t want to see anything happen to my friend.
如果這個事實本身是好的，比如：“早起運動可以加速新陳代謝”，你的告知則是為了讓對方有更好的發(fā)展。
好了，看完四小問的拆分，你有想好自己要說啥了不？
