解题思路：

这是一个抽象物品题，虽然我们对核心内容，户外活动比较熟悉，但是其中一些小问题的问法还是有一些新的改变·比如本题注意的是这个活动或者活动地点是一个新的地方，而且会问到你是否有遇到困难，和活动后的改变等。我们选题的时候可以适度说明一下，以前没有参加过这个活动，比如露营，爬山看日出，飞盘，攀岩等，亦或者活动地点也许更有挑战等。感受方面，可以说喜欢这个活动带来的挑战，成就感，与自然的亲近等，也可以说一下自己在挑战中变得更加坚韧等。审题时注意关键词 : outdoor activities,是指在室外或自然环境中展开的身体活动，如camping,hiking,cycling,fishing,picnicking等:时态为过去式·地点和时间限制为 :anew place;recently。在解释此次户外运动的变化时，可以从能力是否提升，结果是否更好，是否遇到特殊情况(下雨受伤)等角度拓展。

Sample Answer 1 ：

We should try to go out to get closer to the natural and change our sedentary lifestyle now. Now, I would like to talk about an outdoor activity that I started recently. It's hiking. I went to hike with my roommates in a mountain which was not far away from my university and as far as I remembered it took us about 20 minutes to drive there. Then we walked for about 30 minutes until reaching the top of the mountain. We used the compass to find out the east where the sun wound rise up.

As to weather I asked for help during the hiking trip...well, I would say yes. At the beginning, I felt really sleepy and tired. My backpack got so heavy on my shoulders so I just wanted to give it up and return to the car. But then, my roommates gave me a hand and helped carry my bags so I could have enough energy to reach the top of the mountain. Besides, what touched me a lot was that they gave me lots of pep talk, making me believe that I could fulfill the challenge.

As to what change you had in the activity...well, I got more confident for sure as we finally got the top of the mountain and watched the sunrise. It was an experience that totally impressed me, I mean the view was marvelous and even the air had a hint of fragrance cos it was so fresh. That also triggered my interests in hiking and getting into more outdoor activities, instead of just sitting in front of a computer and binge on social media.

Sample Answer 2 ：

Actually I'm not an outdoor person, but I do enjoy fishing with my grandfather during the holidays. So it was around 3 weeks ago. One evening at dinner my grandpa was asking if I'd like to join him for fishing. I was in the mood for some fresh air so I nodded. We normally go fishing at a nearby lake, but we've found a new location recently. It's way better than the old spot cuz it's a much deeper and bigger lake, which means more fish!

The new location was recommended by one of his friends, and my grandpa had never been there before, so we drove there and had to rely on GPS navigation. Soon after we arrived, my grandpa handed me the fishing rod,expecting me to reel in some fish, but I kind of looked at him innocently, suggesting that I didn't know how to do that. So he did most of the work for me, and I simply sat there, holding the rod and waiting for something good to catch. So I didn't really ASK for help but I definitely got lots of support from my grandpa.

So what changed during that fishing experience? Well, I'm very proud to say that it was the only time I'd caught THREE fish that day, which was incredible cuz that had never happened before. But the truth is, it's got nothing to do with my fishing skills. It was pure luck (smile).

Part 3

Question: What outdoor activities are popular in China?

解题思路:

此题为例举题，需要给出多种户外运动。可以进行举例、原因、对比拓展。

Sample Answer:

These days the most popular outdoor activity must be camping. I guess lots of city people are tired of their fast-paced life, so whenever they get the chance, they pitch a tent, like in a park or somewhere, to sleep under the stars, and enjoy the great outdoors. As well as that, they also enjoy hiking, cuz China is a country with lots of hills and mountains. Walking and jogging are also common, and the other typical Chinese outdoor activities include square dancing, like a group of old ladies dancing together at a public space. It's something you don't see in western countries.

Question: Are those people who like dangerous activities more likely to be successful?

解题思路:

此题为观点类题型，需要找出“爱做危险运动的人”和“成功”之间是否有一定关联·如从事危险活动的人是冒险者，这意味着他们在创业或投资时会做出一些大胆而明智的选择。但从另一个角度来看，他们也很可能会失败。所以我想重要的不是他们是否喜欢做危险的活动，而是他们是否能做出好的判断。

Sample Answer:

I guess so. People who do dangerous activities are risk takers, which means when they start a business or do investments, they'll make some bold and sensible choices. But of course to see it from another perspective, they're also likely to fail. So I guess what matters is not whether they enjoy doing dangerous activities, but whether they can make good judgements.

Question: Do you think it's better for people to change jobs when they have the chance?

解题思路:

此题为观点类题型。可以给出肯定、否定、或中立的答案·给出中立答案时，需要分析不同的情况，或者分析正反两面:换工作的好处和坏处。

Sample Answer:

Well that's a tricky question. It's really hard to say. If you find your career at a dead end in your current workplace, you should probably leave your job to realize your potential in another position. That way, you can have better professional development. But leaving your job can be a very stressful thing, and a new work environment means that you'd lose some personal connections and have to change your routines. So there isn't a fixed answer, I suppose.

Question: Should young people try as many new activities as possible?

解题思路:

此题为观点类题型，可以给出肯定答案，并拓展1.原因: 年轻人尝试新事物有诸多好处，比如增强自信、增添情趣、拓展人生观等。2.建议 : 要鼓励不要逼迫。

Sample Answer:

Yes why not, as long as they can afford to do so. Allowing young people like kids to try new things is important because it can promote self-esteem, add fun, and open their outlook on many things in life. But the key is never to force new things, but to encourage them. This is how people find out their passion in life and learn how to step out of one's comfort zone.
