4雅思口语Decision making话题

1. What skills are necessary when making decisions?

关于decision-making的话题，以及关于skills的问题在part

3当中并不算少见，因此同学们还是必须要多加注意，平常要多多积存语料。

这个题目在回答的过程当中，同学们容易陷进"skills'的陷阱当中去，很多同学关于skills这个单词的理解非常的狭隘，认为只有"技术性'、"技能性'的才干叫做skills，其实，只要是和能力相关，只要是表示"能做什么样的事情'，都可以用skills这个词来表达。比如雅思听力当中就经常出现writing skills和study

skills这种表达，这个时候我们就不一定非要僵硬地把这个词组理解成"写作/学习技能'，而是直接说"写作/〔学习能力〕'更好一些。

更何况，在一个雅思口语part 3的答案中，流利的应对非常重要，相比较于花时间去纠结skills到底指的是什么，更明智的做

法显然是联系decision-making的过程，描述这个当中必须要的能力。

具体来说，做决定的时候，我们必须要搜集信息，必须要跟他人〔沟通〕讨论，有时候甚至必须要保持自己的主张(assert my

opinions)或者控制情绪，这些都可以作为答案内容。

Making decisions is a complex process, which might involve

a great many skills. For starters, the ability of collecting

facts and figures is essential, because the first step of

making a decision is to get a whole understanding of the

relevant information. Sometimes, we need to be

computer-literate to look up information on the Internet.

Secondly, we shall be able to do some data analysis so that

we can make a wise decision. In addition, we need to keep

calm inside, even when it is an urgent situation and we are

asked to make prompt decisions, otherwise we might decide

on something and regret it quite soon. Finally, a good

decision-maker should be able to control his own mood and

never get emotional, since we are not likely to make a good

decision when we are thrilled, furious or anxious. So to sum

up, there are plenty of necessary skills when making a

decision. Sometimes we are not even aware of them.

2. How can people improve their decision-making skills?

这个题目的回答思路其实还是比较广的，我们可以将此题和上一题联系起来(很多时候考官确实会把这样的两道题目连着问)，那么此时我们就应该从上一题的答案出发，具体讲解如何提升搜集信息的能力，如何提升分析数据的能力等等，这是一个思路;

另一方面，我们可以合计从宽泛的地方入手，讲一个"放之四海而皆准'的答案(比如今天的示范答案)，具体内容方面就是锻炼能力的通常途径：学习。考生不必担心这样"放之四海而皆准'的答案内容会不会让考官误以为在背答案，因为这个内容对应该问题并不牵强，同时还很实际。我们只要注意回答的时候要自然一些就好了。

I think people can improve their decision-making skills

the way they do to improve all other skills by learning and

practising. If someone feels that he is not good at making

decisions, the first thing he might have to do is to observe

to find out how others will react when it comes to a similar

circumstance. The second step is to compare and contrast.

By doing this, people can have a clear understanding of the

strong points and the weakness in their decision-making

process, so that they could make a progress. The key point

of improving the decision-making skills lies in practice.

Just like everything, decision-making skills could get

strengthened only when we put them into reality. Provided

we keep training ourselves in this way, we can all become

wise and responsible decision-makers.

3. Do parents in China allow their children to make

important decisions about the future?

这种"中国/你们国家现状'的问题其实是最好回答的，因为这样的现状一定是很复杂的，不能一概而论的。因此，考生完全可以依据自己的回答特征和优势有选择性地給出答案。

比如这个题目，可以说yes，当然也可以说no，当然更可以说两者兼而有之，具体怎么操作，可以看考生擅长往哪个方面发挥。并且，建议考生依据这种"in your country / in China'如何如何的题目，准备好一个框架，可以是it depends on，或者it varies，接着说因为各地的状况、各个阶层的状况都不一样，最后再具体讲自己看到的、自己了解到的状况是怎样的，这样的答案层次感也比较好。

Well, its unlikely to simply say yes or no to this question,

since things differ enormously in different families. Some

parents allow their children to make almost every decision

about the future, from what major to choose, to what kind

of person to marry. These are so-called "open-minded' or

"enlightened' parents. They are also the popular ones.

Children all dream of having this kind of parents and those

who do have, are often very proud, confident and independent.

However, there are some other parents, who act in a totally

opposite way. They feel that they could not trust their

children to make any decision, let alone important ones.

They are overprotective parents, and without knowing it,

they might even ruin their childrens life in the name of

"love'. Its actually very terrible. To me, one of the

greatest jobs of a parent is to teach the children how to

make decisions on their own, so that children can grow up

as mature, responsible adults.
