在前面的文章当中我们小顾老师给大家介绍过很多雅思口语话题素材，本期我们继续给大家介绍下雅思口语Part3素材-贵的活动(expensive things)希望对同学们雅思备考有所帮助！

1.Why do some people prefer buying expensive things?

I believe that’s because some people

associate price with best quality, although it’s not always the case that if

you buy one thing with a hefty price tag, you’ll always get the excellent quality. That’s the mentality of some people, however, we can’t blame them anyway, since it’s been proven that most cheap things won’t last long. As for me,

I’d rather buy one expensive thing that will be usable for a long period

of time than spending on buying a low-priced item that is not durable. I think that way is more economical and that I believe has made people choose to buy expensive things over cheap ones.  

译文：我觉得这是因为有些人将价格与最佳质量相关联，尽管并非总是贵就好。这就是某些人的心态，但是我们也不能怪他们，因为事实说明大多数便宜的东西用不了很久。对我而言，我宁愿买一种可以长期使用的昂贵物品，也不愿买不耐用的便宜货。我认为这种方式更经济，这让人们选择购贵的而不是便宜的。

解析：用比较的方式进行了拓展。语法方面使用了最高级、if句、被动语态、将来时、从句、比较急、现在完成时等多种结构。

2.What kind of expensive things do people like to buy?

I’m not sure about that but I suppose people tend to buy expensive electronic gadgets, clothes, shoes, among others. Well, as you know a lot of people nowadays go for branded gadgets like those from gia

nt companies like Apple and Samsung, simply because they’re durable, stylish, and someti

mes serve as a status symbol. Also, some people want to dress in designer label clothes because those make them feel good and fashionable. I think it’s good to reward ourselves with some expensive things every now and then as long as we can afford to buy them, but having said that,

we also need to be aware not to splurge on expensive things that won’t add value to our lives.

译文：我不确定，但我想人们会倾向于购买昂贵的电子产品，衣服，鞋子等。现在很多人都喜欢品牌产品，例如苹果和三星等大型公司的产品，因为它们耐用，时尚，有时还可以作为一种身份象征。另外，有些人喜欢穿名牌服装，因为它们让人感觉良好且时尚。我认为，只要负担得起，时不时地以一些昂贵的东西奖励自己挺好的，话虽如此，我们也要注意不要乱花钱在那些对我们生活没啥用的东西上。

解析：使用了大量话题词汇来拓展回答，提升FC和LR表现。

3.What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rich?

Oh, I can only assume as I’m not wealthy, generally,

as what the ordinary people perceive the rich, they have financial freedom which simply means they can afford to live way beyond their means.

That is, they can enjoy the luxuries or buy things they need or want anytime at least without worrying, unlike the poor people who can’t even afford. As for the different disadvantages,

I’m sure they have more obligations in terms of tax, their business liabilities, and the like. Considering those disadvantages, I realized that life is fair, rich people do have problems too like the poor ones, the only difference is that the degree of the problem. In other words, you may be poor or rich, there will always be challenges and there’ll always be reasons to be grateful for. So everything is balanced then.

译文：噢，我只能猜猜因为我不是有钱人。一般来说，就像普通百姓对富人的看法一样，他们有财务自由，可以买奢侈品，买什么都不必为钱操心，不像穷人那样买不起。至于坏处，我想他们在税收，商业责任等方面有更多的义务。考虑到这些，我意识到生活是公平的，富人也确实像穷人一样有问题，唯一的区别是问题的程度。换句话说，无论贫富，总会有挑战，也总有理由要感恩。一切都是平衡的。

解析：遇到不熟悉、一时没思路的问题，尽管去猜，保持语流，不需要担心说错什么，只要是在表达自己的观点、保持沟通的状态即可。


解析：Part3题目的拓展，最好是能举出具体的例子，这样可以轻松做到7分评分标准里的speak at length，同时展示词汇水平。如果你真的想考到口语7分，就多用点心，尽管考场题目可能和题库有所区别，但话题是一样的，大家仍然可以根据题库题目的话题关键词，去思考、搜集例子，准备词汇和短语。
