雅思口语Keeping in contact

上海刘伟楠老师为大家带来雅思口语话题Keeping in contact的详细解析。大家快和小编一起来看看吧！

首先大家需要知道keeping in contact的意思和替换词。它的意思是：联系或持联系。替换词有：keep in touch, contact/reach/get hold of/communicate with *等等。

常用的联系方式有：mobile phone，email，letter，或是现在比较流行的方式：QQ，micro blog，wechat，renren等等。同时我们也需要知道这几种通讯方式的优缺点并加以证明。

我们看几道常见的考题：
How do you usually contact your friends? And why?

这道题考大家的是平时联系朋友的方式，我们可以选用cause & effect或general to specific的方式。例如：I usually contact my friends by mobile phone because it’s convenient and efficient. All you have to do is just dial the number and you are connected to them. (cause & effect)

There are a number of ways for me to stay in touch with my friends, such as QQ, Wechat and Micro blog. I personally prefer Wechat, a social networking app available on mobile phone. It allows us to send voice messages and photos to our friends. (general to specific)

Do you find it easy to keep in contact with friends and family? Why/why not?

这道题稍微有点不好回答，因为这里面同时出现了家人和朋友。大家既可以选择把这两个放在一起回答，也可以分别对待。而我个人会比较偏向第二种，比如：I think it’s pretty easy to stay in contact with my friends because there are some options for me to choose from, such as……. However, I have to stick to using mobile phone or telephone when it comes to my parents. The reason is simple: they are strangers to modern technology. (其实这种回答是用了上文提到的compare and contrast的方法)。
I
n your country, did people in the past keep in contact in the same ways as they do today? Why/why not?

这道题也是我们经常会在雅思口语当中碰见的一种题型，它让大家拿现在和过去做对比。那么我们会很自然的想到compare & contrast的方法。当然我们也可能会用到Examples的方法。我们来看一下：
The way people communicate has changed a lot over the last 30 years. ( 大家注意，题目中 in the past 指的是近的几十年，而不是古时候人们飞鸽传书！ )
In the past, people used to ( 当你不擅长用过去式时， used to do sth 的这个短语会很用，因为你不需要在 to 的后面用动词的过去式 ) send letters to each other, which was slow and inefficient, while nowadays we have email, mobile phone and other new technologies to improve communication.

接下来老师给大家准备了几道关于keeping in contact的问题，大家需要用以上的几种方法来回答哦。
