在雅思口語考試中，考官問的問題都比較籠統。因此，很多考生在回答問題時，說的都比較空洞，沒有提供一些具體的信息，結果往往都是低分。這時，考生應該採取的戰略應該大事化小，化抽象為具體。今天，我們就提供一種「比較對比法」，讓考生回答口語問題不再手足無措，有話可說。

In modern societies, most people are infavour of living in big cities because they think there is a better environmentto live in. Undoubtedly, a big city has many social, educational and culturalfacilities, like public libraries, museums, art galleries and clubs, etc. Italso has a wide variety of big stores, restaurants, theatres and other forms ofentertainment.（城市生活的優點）

When it comes to the country, you can findits attractions too. You can be very close to the nature. The air is fresh andthe sun shines on you warmly. Instead of noise, you can hear the singing ofbirds which makes you feel relaxed and refreshed. Life in country is so great, cozyand colourful.（鄉村生活的優點）

However, both the city and country havetheir weak sides. There are serious air pollution, ceaseless noise, traffic jamand more crimes in big cities, whereas country life can be very boring withlittle opportunities to make money.（闡述城市和鄉村各自的缺點）

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to livein a big city like most people do. Modern people can easily adapt into citylife. I think noise, traffic and violence are hardly noticeable, and thecountry life is dull and inconvenient. Actually, in big cities, there arealways greater range of jobs for us to choose. I suppose this is one of themost important reasons why so many people would like to live in big cities.（最後陳述自己的觀點）
