What's your favorite color?

解析：part1问到的都是与我们生活相关的话题，但这并不是说考官对我们的生活感兴趣，而是要考查我们是不是能够熟练运用英语来谈论这些熟悉的话题。所以，我们喜欢什么颜色不是重点，甚至我们有没有一个最喜欢的颜色都不重要，所以需要提醒同学的是，我们不需要在这个颜色本身的词汇上做太多文章。真正的重点在于表现我们的相关语言。首先，我们可以通过细节、举例、原因、结果的方式，扩展我们的答案，答得更多，且内容相关相连，提高我们的流利度和连贯性，让内容变得丰富，而且这样也可以引出更多的相关词汇，并且让我们在表达过程中能表现不同的语法现象和句型结构，从而得到更好的分数。不过，在讲原因的时候不要说喜欢红色是因为象征中国、象征革命，不要说看到蓝色就能平静下来，这样的理由用中文说出来都会显得太不自然，太“作”

语料：

red… one of the brightest colors… passion… put me in a good mood… clothes… vivid… go well with… look great in…

blue… light blue… match my skin… sportswear… look pretty on me…

don’t know… care much about… dark colors… black… doesn’t show the dirt... hate doing the laundry…

参考答案1：

I would say I like red the best, mostly because it’s one of the brightest color and represents passion or something. Anyway, it seems that the vivid color can usually put me in a good mood. I guess that’s why I love wearing red clothes. And of course, red goes well with my skin.

参考答案2：

I don’t know… I’m not sure, really. Actually I never care much about colors of my clothes. If I had to choose one, I guess I would probably go for the dark colors, something like black or dark grey, because you know, they don’t show the dirt easily. To tell you the truth, I really hate doing the laundry.

Are there any colors you don't like?

解析：相对喜欢的颜色来说，这一题不是那么简单，所以完全可以答得模糊一些，就像你生活中遇到有人问你这个问题一样，可以边答边想，这样也是最自然的。同样的，关键不在于我们对颜色的选择，而在于我们语言的扩展，以及针对四个评分标准来表现我们的语言能力。对于不太好描述的颜色，不要急于查字典去找到准确的词，而是尽可能尝试用语言去描述，去解释，这样的paraphrase能力是让我们的词汇分数上到7分的有利证据。

语料：… pink… pinkish red… can’t bear it… girly… won’t even touch it… put up with…

… something between… lighter/darker… mixture of… look like… similar to… old-fashioned… out of style… never dress myself in…

参考答案1：

Colors I don’t like… let me see. I’ve never thought about that before, but .. I suppose I would never put up with pink, or any pinkish red. I just can’t bear it because it’s too girly. You know, if I had anything in that color, either a piece of clothing or a daily item, I guess I would never touch it.

参考答案2：

Well, I don’t think there is a color that I really hate, but I don’t appreciate the color… how can I put it… it’s something between light brown and dark yellow. It looks like a mixture of them and it’s similar to the color of dirt or soil… if you know what I mean. Anyway, I guess I will never dress myself in such colors because it’s really old-fashioned.

Are colors important in your everyday life?

解析：关于一个东西重要不重要，我们尽量从正面去回答，而不要从反面去讲没了这个东西有什么不好。这是一些同学答得很偏、答得很怪的方向（比如说，讲世界上没有了颜色，一切都很单调，或者没有了颜色就没有交通信号灯了…）。另外，颜色在生活中重要是什么意思呢？其实就是我们是不是很重视各种东西的颜色，是不是很挑剔，是不是影响我们的心情等等。不论你的答案是怎样的，都要尽可能扩展出细节、例子、原因、结果，让内容更丰富，语言更充实。

语料：

… pay much attention to… particular about… affect my emotions… bright colors… put me in a good mood… feel terrible… spend a lot of time in front of the mirror… shopping for clothes… hesitate a lot… repaint my room…

… care much about… mind… in style… go well with … picky… bear with it… not much of a problem…

参考答案1：

Yes. Actually I pay much attention to the colors in my life because I believe they can significantly affect my emotions. For example, bright colors can generally put me in a good mood but some dark colors just make me feel terrible. So, I’m quite particular about colors and that’s why I often spend a lot of time in front of the mirror when I go shopping for clothes and I hesitate a lot before repainting my room.

参考答案2：

No, not really. In fact I don’t care much about colors. To tell you the truth, when I shop for clothes, I don’t even mind whether the color is in style or not. I don’t know whether they go well with my skin either. I’m not picky about that at all. Whatever it is, I can bear with it. It’s not much of a problem.

Were colors important to you when you were a child?

解析：回忆过去的题目，记得就说记得，不记得就说好像是什么样子。要知道，考官关心的永远是语言，不是我们真实的生活。同样的方式进行思路扩展。同时不要忘了，需要注意过去时态的使用。

语料：

… hard to please… balloon… keep crying and screaming…

… good boy… willing to put on…

参考答案1：

Well, I don’t remember that clearly, but my parents used to tell me that I was quite hard to please. I mean, I was quite particular with colors. For example, when they bought a balloon for me, I would ask for a specific color. If they didn’t get the right one, I would keep crying and screaming.

参考答案2：

When I was a child… let me see… as far as I remember, I wasn’t choosy about colors. In fact, I was willing to wear anything that my parents bought for me. In retrospect, some of the items they bought for me were in outdated colors. But I accepted all of them.
