Part 1的體驗是什么？

關鍵詞：chat

IELTS口語第一部分用劍橋的官方定義來說，是“關于你的背景、愛好、興趣和習慣的基礎問題”。但這聽起來也太虛偽了吧？用普通人的話來講，Part 1（俗稱“趴1”或者“趴忘”）的本質就是一個chat，跟考官聊聊你自己的基本情況。所以，Part 1是口試的三個部分里最“歡樂”的一個部分，因為它最貼近考生自己的生活。

從答案長度來看，British Council官方明確指出：Remember to keep your Part 1 answers short and direct（簡短的，直接的）. In general, your answers in Part 1 should be 2 or 3 sentences. 也就是說：Part 1的答案并不需要“迂回曲折”，平均每道題回答2～3句話，并且做到流利、自然，就已經很好了。如果您有“滔滔不絕”地回答考官提問的熱情，請把它留給Part 3的深入討論。

下面都是《劍14》給出的Part 1真題：
