雅思口語Part 2答題思路：想學(xué)的技能

Describe something that you don't know but would like to learn.

You should say

what it is you would like to learn

why you want to learn this

how you would learn it

who you would ask to help you learn this

and explain what difficulties you think you might have learning this.

I would like to learn knitting, which is called the "new yoga". It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for our busy, stressful, 21st-century life.

I think it's just a fashionable hobby with women in their 20s and 30s. because Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Madonna all knit, they lead the way. I always see people knitting in coffee shops, hairdressers', bookstores. They knit wherever and most of time they even knit through lunch break.

Time issues and safety things. I come back from work, mad and stressed almost every day. I'm not sure if I will get around to do it. It's hard to believe that something you enjoy doing could potentially be painful, but when it comes to knitting, for some people there is such thing as too much of a good thing. I heard the needles are always sharp, fingers getting pricked is awful. Also, I cannot imagine sitting for long periods in the same position. Posture must be important in this way.

Anyway,I believe i can overcome all the difficulties and, after I start knitting, I will be really into it and find myself totally relaxed.Knitting helps me clear my head and start fresh, slows down my heart and lowers my blood pressure. Hopefully one day, I can knit wonderful purses and scarves, which is very romantic and colors my life.

Part3 Questions:

Do you think computers are useful for teaching skills to children?

I teach both online and face to face and I don't think a computer can replace a teacher completely, but it can do a lot of useful work for learners. The fact that they can access things when they want for free gives them advantages that were simply not possible until very recently. however, the biggest advantage to me is not the computer's ability to serve up tests and references, but the ability to put people in touch with other people. Things like forums make it possible for learners to ask what they want, when they want and to get answers from all over the world, which is only possible through the Internet.

Do you think computers can completely replace teachers.

Never... For example, computers will never teach students the intuitive critical thinking skills that come from taking liberal arts courses, nor will computers teach students how to be good scientists, journalists, businesspeople, etc. Computers simply allow people who have already developed their job and life skills to access information faster and compute quicker. A good scientist is a good scientist, whether or not she has access to a computer, and likewise with almost all other professions.

Do you think it would be good to increase the use of computers in education and, as a result, reduce the amount of face-to-face interaction between teachers and children?

A teacher is nothing more than a guide or "coach" who is meant to train you how to look up the answers for yourself. A computer can not guide you, and you still need to learn how to use the computer properly to discount the incorrect answers that can be found. Remember, Garbage In Garbage Out. With a computer there is always room for error. A teacher is supposed to show you how to do it for yourself, or lead you to finding your own answer.

Tips：

Garbage In, Garbage Out: (abbreviated to GIGO) is a phrase in the field of computer science or ICT. It is used primarily to call attention to the fact that computers will unquestioningly process the most nonsensical of input data and produce nonsensical output.

Garbage In, Garbage Out: 是電腦上的用語，意為“無用(錯誤)信息輸入;無用(錯誤)信息輸出”，縮寫為GIGO。這是在資料處理上一個十分著名的理論，這個理論強(qiáng)調(diào)的是，電腦系統(tǒng)只能對有意義的輸入資料處理，產(chǎn)生有意義的輸出，無論電腦的能力多強(qiáng)，假使輸入電腦當(dāng)中的資料是垃圾(指錯誤的資料)，則輸出來的必定是沒有用的資料。也就是說，假如輸入一堆亂七八糟的東西到電腦里，那么結(jié)果就也是亂七八糟的。這個詞來也經(jīng)常用來形容學(xué)生入學(xué)和畢業(yè)時的素質(zhì)，聽起來還真是有點(diǎn)可怕……
