　　2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：非常开放的人

　　Describe a person who is very open.

　　You should say:

　　Who he or she is

　　How you know him or her

　　Why he or she likes

　　And explain how you feel about him or her

　　A person who I’d like to talk about who is very open is my friend Mary. Mary is about 35 years old and she sits near to me in our office. She’s kind of my deskmate I guess you’d say. Mary is a curious character because she has lived an unconventional life compared to many friends I know. Her father is from Australia and her mother is from a city in the south of China. The whole family have travelled and lived in a few countries all over the world, and they have lived a fairly international lifestyle. I’d say that she is open-minded simply because she has been exposed to different cultural and political perspectives in the countries she has lived in, and also she has had a close relationship with her parents on a very mature and open level – almost like friends. I’ve spent a bit of time in her house with her family, and it’s interesting how they discuss things together like they are good friends, not just parents and daughter. She is not just open-minded, but she is open in the sense that she is quite extrovert and honest with her views and her feelings. She is not afraid to say what she thinks about all sorts of issues, even issues which are a bit controversial. She likes to share her views and she doesn’t mind if people disagree with her or posit different opinions different to hers. She’s not very defensive about this – so it’s possible to have some quite heated discussions and debates with her about all sorts of things, without it getting personal or without her taking things personally. I wish more people could be open like Mary. I find it quite refreshing and it always makes for interesting and stimulating conversations. However, she can be quite challenging sometimes and I can understand why maybe many of her teachers in university didn’t really like her. She, perhaps, sometimes, needs to learn when to be quiet and not be so expressive about her emotions and opinions. But she has a good heart and means well – that’s just her way – and I wouldn’t really want her to change.

　　Part3

　　1. How do young people express their own feelings nowadays?

　　Young people are quite expressive about their feelings, I think. Well, I guess it depends on the age we are talking about. I’m not sure if you’re referring to children, or teenagers, or young adults, really. But, children are usually very open and expressive, at least most kids. Teenagers, too, tend to be quite expressive, and also quite stubborn and opinionated. Young adults start to learn to be more deferent in their attitudes, especially when talking with teachers or adults or bosses. Some people, however, remain quite expressive throughout their lives, and others are a lot more composed and keep their feelings inside and don’t like sharing their real emotions with others. So, there’s quite a variety of types of people in the world, but in general, I’d say that young people, especially children, express themselves more – usually quite vocally and quite stubbornly, especially when they want something!

　　2. Who are more outspoken? Men or women?

　　I really can’t say. To be honest I’ve known outspoken men and outspoken women. It’s really a personality thing. In general I would say that in the home or family women are more outspoken about their feelings when they are upset or angry, and men tend to keep these feelings inside a bit more. But, again, this is a generalization. I also know men who are very outspoken when they are angry, and even more unreasonable at the same time. I think, especially nowadays, there isn’t a huge difference between men and women in terms of one being more outspoken than another - it’s all down to individual personalities and one’s background, upbringing, and even genetics!!

　　3. Why do people need to express feelings sometimes?

　　Everyone needs to express their feelings sometimes. In fact, it should be encouraged to a point. People who keep all their feelings inside can get quietly frustrated and even very troubled. It’s important to be able to share worries, concerns and anxieties with others. Chinese people can be quite polite in some ways, though, and they don’t often like to share their personal feelings and emotions with others, like workmates or people who are not very close to them. I’d say this was an Asian cultural characteristic which is both good and bad. It means that some people can keep feelings inside a lot and it makes it harder to create close friendships and get to know other people and also learn how other people think and feel. On the other hand it also saves people from being burdened by other people’s concerns, which is also a good thing – we can’t always burden our colleagues with our feelings. So, it’s an interesting topic, really. I’m quite fascinated by psychology so I find this kind of thing curious to think about.

　　4. Why are people becoming less frank now?

　　I don’t think people are becoming less frank nowadays, actually. I’d say people are becoming more and more frank, at least young people. More direct, more frank and more honest about their wants and needs. Perhaps they are less frank about their feelings towards controversial topics in society like politics or other areas in which they may have conflicting opinions, but in general I think young people are pretty frank. It’s hard to say, though, again, as I keep saying, it is also down to invididual personality, upbringing and background – confident people sometimes can be more frank, and less confident people can be more introverted. However, this isn’t always the case, either. It depends.
