很多同学在准备雅思口语part1的时候，一遇到抽象的题目就头大，确实这类的问题和日常生活的关系不大，不太好举例子想观点。所以备考时一定要积累素材，试着从不同的角度出发。

下面就以剑桥真题中的age为例，帮同学们分析一下如何破解part1中的抽象话题卡。

Are you happy to be the age you are now?

正反双方可以立足人在人生不同阶段所面临的困难，如果对现状满意，可以谈

现阶段的优势以及其他阶段需要面临的一些困难;而如果对现状不满，则可以谈现阶段的一些无法解决和回避的劣势组织答案。以高中生年龄为例：优势——年富力强，身体健康，未来机会多，还有父母照顾。

Yes. Since growth is an irreversible process, I choose to enjoy the moment I am living in. Also, as a young man I am physically potent and psychologically well-prepared for any obstacle. I am content with the current circumstances.

No. The older I get, the more challenges I begin to face. And to my disappointment, I find myself no longer the invincible child who can overcome whatever comes in my way. For me, growth is a road leading to failure and dismay.

When you were a child, did you think a lot about your future?

正反双方可以从「准备/筹划的意义出发」，提前准备的优势可以说有备无患，并且提前做出规划，让自己可以从同辈人中脱颖而出;反方观点可以从「人生中充满了始料不及的挑战和困难」出发，谈准备的徒劳。

Yes, definitely. I was nurtured with a faith that preparation is always a necessity for success. Therefore, I restrained myself from stuff that might get in my way, like computer games and campus romances in order to be as potent as possible to excel my peers in the future.
