雅思口语Part One思路解析:Transportation 交通运输
交通是雅思口语考试中非常常见的一道题目。因为是大家日常生活的一部分,因此难度并不大。大体来看,城市里的交通方式有四种:公交车,出租车,地铁,以及私家车。他们各有优劣。公交车比较便宜,而且有公交车专用道,堵车的时候比较惬意,但容易拥挤,而且不太准时。出租车私密性和舒适性比较好,但价格昂贵。地铁文章来自老烤鸭雅思方便快捷,没有堵车的担忧,价格在可承受范围以内。但上下班高峰特别挤,而且不是每座城市都有。私家车最为方便,但会造成空气污染。类似的话题在part two还有一个describe a long car journey you went on.
