雅思口语“性格”类问题该怎么答

 “性格”相关例题及例答

Part1

Do you enjoy meeting new people?

Yes, I do, but I admit that it does depend on the context. For example, if I am with a group of life long friends as well, I feel more confident and relaxed than if I am alone, when I feel more timid and awkward.

I think that at work I try to put up a façade of being professional and in control although underneath the surface I am paddling like a swan(duck).

译文：是的，但要看情况。如果同时还有熟悉的朋友，我会感觉更自信、放松，如果当时只有我自己，我会感到胆怯和尴尬。在工作中，我试图表现得专业和有掌控力，虽然实际上我慌的咧。

Would you describe yourself as a sociable person?

I’d like to say so, as I am always happy to get involved in organising parties and gatherings – indeed I can be a bit of a control freak, as I have an eye for detail. However, I would be more than delighted to be described as reliable and dependable as we all need friends we can rely on.

译文：我觉得是的，因为我总是乐于组织聚会。事实上，我可能有点控制狂，因为我很注重细节。然而，我会很高兴被描述为可靠和可靠，因为我们都需要可以依赖的朋友。

Are you usually punctual or late?

That’s a great question! Every year I make a resolution to be on time for both work and social meetings, but I have a terrible habit of always being slightly late.

I know that punctuality is a virtue and I am always embarrassed by being a bad time keeper, especially when I understand that being late is rude and disrespectful. I will keep working on improving this negative trait.

译文：这是一个很好的问题！每年我都会下定决心准时参加工作会议和社交聚会，但我有一个可怕的习惯，就是总是稍微迟到。我知道守时是一种美德，我总是为自己不守时而感到尴尬，尤其是我知道迟到是粗鲁和不尊重的。我将继续努力改善这种负面特质。

 Part2

Describe a person you would like to be similar to. You should say

• Who this person is?

• What this person does?

• What qualities this person has

• Why you would like to be similar to this person?

I’d like to talk about a teacher who takes care of students' mental health at a school I used to go to. 

This lady, Mrs. X, has held this job for more than a decade, and she is inspiring in her attention to detail and caring personality.

It is her job to interact with students, in a relaxed, almost parental way and create the kind of atmosphere where they can trust her, and share any problems and issues they may have.

As part of her duties, she would liaise between the students and other members of staff, education, and healthcare professional bodies, and parents as needed.

The interpersonal and communication skills required for this role are very demanding  and take a long time to learn if not acquired naturally.

Mrs. X is enormously empathetic, she really understands emotion and is a great and generous listener and I believe these are all key qualities that are important to emulate.

I think that interacting with students and colleagues at work can present many challenges and an understanding of human characteristics, even the psychology, of how people think and respond to each other is more and more important.

I would love to be considered as caring, considerate, and reliable as she is and she is really one of those rare people who can connect with anyone, anywhere.

译文：我想谈谈我曾经上过的一所学校负责学生心理健康的老师。这位女士担任这份工作已经十多年了，她对注重细节和关心他人的个性很鼓舞人心。她的工作是以一种轻松的、几乎像父母一样的方式与学生互动，营造一种信任的氛围，并分享他们可能遇到的任何问题。

作为其职责的一部分，她根据需要在学生与其他教职员工、教育和医疗保健专业机构以及家长之间进行联络。这个角色需要人际交往和沟通技巧，如果在这方面缺乏天赋，需要很长时间才能学到。她非常善解人意，她很理解各种情绪，是一位很棒的倾听者，我相信这些都是值得效仿的关键品质。

我认为在工作中与学生和同事的互动会带来许多挑战，而且去理解人类个性、心理学知识、人们如何思考和回应彼此的方式越来越重要。我想成为像她一样关心、体贴和可靠的人，她确实是少数可以很容易与任何人建立联系的人。

Part3

How do you think the personalities of men and women vary?

It is often said that men can be more opinionated and less empathetic than women and it is true that this is often a stereotype.

However, compared to previous generations, many men today are more in touch with their feelings, less moody and are much more aware of the challenges faced by regarding juggling a family and parenthood.

译文：人们常说，男性比女性更固执己见，缺乏同理心，这确实是一种刻板印象。然而，与前几代人相比，今天的许多男性更关注自己的感受，不那么情绪化，并且更加意识到在兼顾家庭和为人父母方面所面临的挑战。

How do companies try to assess the personalities of people who are applying for jobs?

Rather than a traditional interview nowadays, many companies demand high grades in psychometric tests which have been designed to test character in order to select candidates who are compatible with the company mentality.

Whilst these tests may highlight insecure or weaker candidates, I am not convinced that it is the most effective way to judge personality.

译文：与传统面试不同，现在许多公司要求在心理测试中取得高分，这些测试旨在测试性格，以选择与公司心态相适应的候选人。虽然这些测试可能会突出不安全或较弱的候选人，但我不相信这是判断个性的最有效方法。

Why do you think they do this?

In my opinion, these tests are used to save time as most jobs today attract numerous applicants and it must be hard to choose the strongest and most suitable.

That said, to be defined by an algorithm or computer program is terrifying and critics suggest that it cannot effectively determine those with good communication skills or natural leaders.

译文：在我看来，这些测试是为了节省时间，因为当今大多数工作都吸引了众多求职者，因此很难选择最强大和最合适的人。也就是说，被算法或计算机程序定义是可怕的，批评者认为它不能有效地确定那些具有良好沟通技巧的人或天生的领导者。

相关词汇的记忆方法：

在以下几组形容词中，先选出描述你的个性的，再比对反义词，会更容易记住：

talkative  -  quiet

decisive  -  indecisive

confident  -  apprehensive

serious  -  carefree

patient  -  impatient

calm - anxious

determined - hesitant

encouraging - discouraging

admired  -  disliked

在准备口语Part2内容的时候，也可以先想想，ta的性格是positive的还是negative的，然后选择对应的词汇。

此外，可以利用前缀来辅助记忆生词，增加词汇量。例如：

considerate，polite，reliable

inconsiderate,  impolite,  unreliable

对上述例答中的生词，依次进行个人化归纳、分类总结。
