2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：聪明的人
Describe an intelligent person you know.
You should say:
Who this person is
How you know this person
What he or she does
And explain why you think this person is intelligent
An intelligent person I know is my friend Martyn. He’s a very academic type, you might say. He’s very knowledgeable about history, literature and even science, and he also has a very creative and critical mind. I met him when we were in university. In fact, I met him on campus one afternoon. I was new and I couldn’t find the café on campus anywhere. Then I saw this guy reading on a bench by the lake, and went and asked him for directions. We got chatting about the novel he was reading and we walked to the café together, had a coffee…. And we’ve been friends ever since. This was about 7 years ago now. Now he works at a media company doing writing, editing and some production, I think. He gets a bit frustrated by his work, so he doesn’t talk about it much. But I think that it’s common that intelligent people get bored very easily with repetitive jobs, and I think he wants and needs something more challenging. I think he’s intelligent on many levels, actually. He also has an emotional intelligence and a good way of understanding other people’s situations, their feelings, their struggles and anxieties. So, he’s not just a “booksmart” person.
Part3
1. How do people in your country define “intelligent”?
It depends on what people you’re talking about, but I do think that people in China focus too much on grades to measure intelligence. Whereas, I, personally, view intelligence in a broader and deeper sense. I think people who can solve problems, think critically, evaluate different opinions and views, and come to insightful conclusions, are the real intelligent people in life.
2. Do you think smart people tend to be selfish?
I think sometimes yes, but not necessarily in every case. Some smart people can get very absorbed in things, their own thoughts, hobbies, obsessions and interest, at the expense of others. So, yes, they can sometimes have a tendency to get selfish.
3. Why are some children more intelligent than others?
I think there is a mixture of reasons. Part of the intelligence we have I believe we inherit from our parents, from our genes. So, it’s been proven that intelligence is to some extent genetic. However, also it depends on our upbringing – whether our parents read to us, talk to us, explain things to us and bring us up to be thoughtful, thinking people. So, I think it’s a combination of genetic factors and upbringing.
4. Do you think it’s true that smart people get more opportunities in their lives?
I’d say so yes. In most cases yes. Smart people can get things done faster and can often also talk their ways into better situations that can lead to more opportunities and more successes. Also, smart people often have better education and so on, which can lead to better work opportunities.
