解题思路：

本题是个常规类型PART2地点类型的问题，但是需要注意的是题目:当中的限定词quiet，安静的地方。解决这道题目的思路有两种。第一，我们可以把这道题目和前面准备过的地点类型的题目串联起来，例如:咖啡厅，图书馆，博物馆等等。因为安静是一个主观形容词，是不是一个安静的地方，也是因人而异的，所以我们其实可以把任意一个地点说成是安静的地点。第二:我们可以尝试通过paraphrase的方式和举例的方式来说明一个地点非常的安静Quiet:的替换有tranquil,peaceful,restful，noiseless等等。举例我们可以说说make verylittle noise,very fewpeople等等。在描述对一个地点具体感受的时候，我们可以使用CHEERS原则，从6个不同的维度来帮助我们描述感受。

Sample Answer 1 ：

Well, I'm going to talk about my favorite campus which is a quiet and peaceful. Speaking of its location, it's situated in the heart of the city, just across from the second largest shopping center in the city. And it is within a stone of my apartment, so I usually go there to unwind after school. There are a variety of activities people can do there, like walking, reading books, doing mediation beside the lake and stuff like, but what I enjoy most is walking my dog which is a lovely black poodle.

Speaking of how I knew it, as I've mentioned, it is not far away from my flat, and I can get there within 5 minutes' walk and I 've been living in this neighborhood for a long time, so I've known this place since I was a little kid. Oh, one more thing to mention, my parents would take me to this campus to take a stroll after dinner and I was told it was for my digestion. Talking about the frequency, I guess I go there as least twice a week, because I've signed up for a meditation course on campus. But sometimes, I go there more than twice a week, let's say three or four times a week, as the air there is very fresh，I mean , this place is just like an oasis.

So put it in a nutshell, I am really into this place, because it is very quiet, I mean, it helps me empty my mind and I can get completely relaxed there and leave all my trouble behind. Besides, it is a perfect to go on a date, it's really quiet, if I had a girlfriend, I would take her to this place, so we wouldn't be bothered by other people.

Sample Answer 2：

I'd like to talk about a botanic garden I've been to before, it is really beautiful,iridescent and of course tranquil. And this garden is tucked away in a secluded area which is in the eastern part of the city. Since it is a botanic garden, I mainly go there to appreciate different plants, hang out with my friend, and simply just kick back and relax. By the way, What impresses me most is that there are serval tropical nursery houses which accommodate more than 500 living different plants， from a rainforest on the wall to an entire room of cacti. And these houses are across 10 climatic zones, giving each glass room a whole different environment.

Moving on to the second question, which is how I knew it, I first got to know this place on a social networking website, and it was highly recommended by a local internet influencer. In his video, he elaborated the features of this place and also gave a few tips, like when was the best time to visit, how to get a discount on tickets and things like that. Speaking of how often I go there,generally, I guess twice a year, one in spring, one in fall, simple because different types of flowers flourish in different seasons, like cherry flowers only bloom in spring.

There are several reasons why I was deeply impressed. First of all, I was actually shocked by the diversity of botanical collection there, ranging from the oldest collection of Orchids to the most endangered and threatened species. Anyway, it was way beyond my expectation.

Apart from that, it was the spectacular and artistic gardening that made me remember it very well. As soon as I got into the gate, the splendid and colorful flowers immediately grabbed my attention, like, purple tulips, pink carnations, bright yellow sunflowers and stuff like that. So it was completely splendid and of course a perfect to relax.

Part 3:

Question:Is it easy to find quiet places in your country? Why?

解题思路:

这是一个PART·2当同意与否类型的问题，我们如果想把答案变得更加的详尽，我们可以采取分情况讨论的策略 。例如，可以说在大城市中，是不是很容易找到安静的地方 ?如过不容易的找到的话，原因可能是什么。在小城市中是不是容易找到安静的地方 ? 如果容易找到，这些地方通常是什么地方。在回答这样的问题时，除了要给出原因，还需要把places这个上意词，替换成不同的下意词。

Sample Answer:

Well, it really depends. In those very -well developed megacities, I wouldn't say it's very easy to find quiet and relaxing places in, as metropolitans tend to build office buildings and entertainment facilities, you know, like shopping centers which are not quiet at all, instead, they sometimes cause noise pollution. However, in small cities or rural areas which haven't been spoiled by noise pollution, cars, and those annoying machines, people can easily find a tranquil place and relax, like places in mountains, beside lakes and things like that.

Question:Why do old people prefer to live in quiet places?

解题思路：

这是一道典型的原因类型的题目，一开始我们可以先总述 ，然后在分条论述。第一，我们可以说老年人由于经历丰富，他们的去过大多热闹的地方，体验过太多经历，所以现在想居住在安静的地方。第二，我们可以从以外一个维度去说原因，他们厌倦了城市的快节奏，以及给出对应的具体表达,方式。所以想体验不同的生活方式。

Sample Answer:

There are mainly two reasons .one reason is that old people have had enough experiences, I mean, they have been to lively and vibrant places before so they must have known what things were like there. For them, quietness is probably something they desire because it helps them empty their mind and

get completely relaxed. Another reason is that they get tired of the fast pace in a metropolis, like crowds of people in trains stations and traffic congestions where people tend to honk horns, consequently, they might like to settle down in rural and quiet areas where they can experience a totally different lifestyle.

Question:Why are there more noises made at home now than in the past?

解题思路:

这是一道原因类型的题目，拿到题目之后，可以发现这道题目涉及到了现在和过去，也就就是说需要我们去对比，这道题目的关键点在于家里的噪音为什么会比过去多，第一个能想到就是因为家电的使用比原来多，然后举例说明。在一个就是人们的生活方式也有变化，尤其是人们更喜欢开派对，听快节奏的音乐等等。在给完原因之后，一定要有例子去支撑自己的论点，这样答案才显得详尽。

Sample Answer:

Well, the living standard has been boosted by leaps and bounds, so compared with the past, a significantly larger number of houses can afford household appliances like TVs, washing machines, computers, which might cause too much noise. What's more, people's lifestyle has also changed dramatically, especially an increasing number of teenagers tend to throw crazy parties at home, so they would play upbeat music like rap and rock in a high volume, this is also a reason for this phenomenon.

Question: Why do some people like to use noise as background sound when they are working or studying?

解题思路:

这道题目的重点的是如何去定义noise。我们可以先说人们普遍对噪音的映像是负面的，然后进行一个转折，表明自己的观点，说这都是刻板映像。例如白噪音对人就是好处。当然，我们可以先解释一下白噪音，然后在把白噪音给具象化，例如河流的声音，下雨的声音等等，这些都是能让人们放松的声音。所以，这种噪音能提高效率以及提高生产力。

Sample Answer:

In my opinion, noise can help people focus on their work and study. As long as people talk about noise, they might be reminded of annoying experiences, for example, kids cry in a high pitch, drivers honk their horns during the rush hour or noise caused by construction. I would say, this is definitely a stereotype, for example, white noise is a type of sound that can help calm down and relax, like the sound of rain, the sound of birds chirping in the trees, or the sound of a stream flowing in a valley. Consequently, some people tend to listen to this type of noise as it helps them better focus on their tasks and boost their productivity.
