雅思口语Part 3- Science and Technology

Science andTechnology一向是雅思口语论题里的常客，阅历了魔幻的2020之后，你还能愿望回到没有科技的世界么?几年前的《黑镜》给咱们描绘了“只需你想不到，没有科技做不到”的时空，各位烤鸭假定感触说到科技论题无话可聊，那就去这部英剧里找找构思吧!

雅思口语在Part 3常常聊到科技对咱们日子和作业的影响，今日咱们就别离来聊一聊：

Let’s talk about technology at home.

首要看看科技在家里的人物：

1. What items of technology are most popular in China? (and Why?)

Well, first of all, Wi-Fi has become indispensable in every family, I mean,whenever you visit a friend at their place, maybe the first thing you do isasking for the password. Besides, we can’t live without laptops or tablets,especially for young people, whether it’s for work or entertainment. Oh, and inrecent years, fingerprint door locks have hit the streets, ‘cos it can save usthe trouble of taking our keys, you know, many people have made the mistake ofleaving their keys at home and locking themselves out.

加分表达解析：

indispensable = too important to be without = can’t live without

想说“重要”，必定不要只记住important，记住这俩表达，以备不时之需。

举例：

Cars have become an indispensable part of our lives.

These people can't live without the Internet—it's up there with air andwater.

place = a house or flat / apartment; a person’s home

place在口语里不但指“当地”哦!

举例：

What about dinner at my place?

I’m fed up with living with my parents, so I’m looking for a place of myown.

hit the streets = to become widely available for sale

想表达“很有商场、哪里都有卖”，用这个短语就没错了，必定加分!还可以说hit the shops / stores.

2. What problems do some people have when using technology? (Why?)

Um… some elderly people might not be familiar with the modern technologyand they tend to have difficulty learning new stuff. They don’t know how tooperate or handle some devices. Plus, some senior citizens have never learnedhow to type, so maybe surfing the Internet can also be a big problem for them.And to be honest, the Internet is not always a safe place, I mean, I’ve heard ofcountless Internet scams on the news, and that’s why some people have “trustissues” with this technology.

加分表达解析：

senior citizen = an older person, especially somebody who has retired fromwork.

当咱们想避免说old这个词的时分，上面的表达是个非常好的替换。同理，elderly也是old的礼貌说法。

3. Does technology at home make us lazy? (How?)

To some extent, yeah. For example, automatic vacuum cleaners can help ussweep the floor faster and cleaner, so there’s no need for us to do it byourselves. And in the past, we had to do the dishes by hand, but now dishwasherscan take care of everything. And with the advent of home theater, some peopletend to go out to the movies less and less, ‘cos they can enjoy the similaratmosphere comfortably at home.

加分表达解析：

the advent of something / somebody = the coming of an important event,person, invention, etc.

举例：

That changed dramatically with the advent of air conditioning.

Let’s talk about technology at work

下面再看看科技在作业中的人物：

1. How has technology changed the way people work?

First of all, technology has dramatically made our work easier, forexample, in the past, people had to go on business trips, but now,videoconferencing has saved them the trouble. And when we want to contact ourboss or coworkers, we can send them emails or just simply Facetime. And also, insome places and industries, machines have replaced human labor, for example,there used to be laundry workers in the past, but now, the name of the job justsounds ancient, I mean, outdated.

加分表达解析：

dramatically = (of a change, an event, etc.) sudden, very great and oftensurprising

描述“改变大”就请把它用起来吧!

举例：

Prices have increased dramatically in the last few years.

2. Has technology given working people more free time? (Why/Why not?)

Um… not really, if you ask me. I mean, I admit technology has saved us alot of time, because it provides a more efficient way for us to communicate andstuff. However, it also makes the boundary between work and personal timeblurry. I mean, in the past, when technology was not that advanced, we couldenjoy our time after work completely, without worrying about being disturbed bythe stuff at work, but now, things are different, our boss, our coworkers andclients can find us whenever they want no matter where we are, as long as wehave Internet access or cell phone reception, which means, we have to sacrificesome of our free time to deal with the work stuff.

加分表达解析：

and stuff = used when you do not want to complete a list

当咱们想说“…啥的” “比方此类”，就可以用这个表达，或许也可以说and things (like that)。

举例：

I like reading and stuff.

She likes nice clothes and things like that.

3. What can be done to help people whose jobs are being replaced bytechnology?

For starters, training courses are necessary, they can be trained to mastersome new skills or they can simply learn how to use the machine. Although somejobs are disappearing, there are new job opportunities being created all thetime because of the fast development of technology. They always say, in this dayand age, some of the highly paid jobs didn’t even exist 5 years ago. In order toavoid being left behind by the society, it’s critical for them to get the hangof the up-to-the-minute technology.

加分表达解析：

For starters = used to emphasize the first of a list of reasons, opinions,etc, or to say what happens first.

列单子不要一初步只会用first! 一场考试下来咱们可以要make挺多list，别忘了换着幻术最初哦!

举例：

There are
