你有一份四六級口試防“尬聊”指南待查收
我親親的小夥伴們~~~
2017下半年的四六級口語考試報名已經開始啦~~
熟悉套路的同學應該對口試任務並不陌生啦~~
不熟悉的也木有關係，有小U在呢！！
下面就跟小U一起來看一下四六級口試都有哪些內容吧~~
經小U實地考察啊，雙人對話可以說是一個太需要實力來護駕的任務沒錯了！那麼如何在雙人對話中既能做到有話可說，又能和partner“尬聊”不尷尬呢？
今天小U帶來的金點子是：雙人對話——談！利！弊！
電子支付（electronic payment）
自打出道以來就獨得廣大消費者恩寵，更是被列爲中國“新四大發明”之一啊！
電子支付的話題熱度始終未減，它更是出現在了今年上半年的口語考試中哦！最重要的是，小U之聲上半年在考試前爲大家押中了這道考題！！
所以說信小U，過四六級嘛~~~
今天小U就以電子支付爲例，教大家準備如何應對口語考試中需要談某一現象類話題的【利弊】。
任何關於現象的話題都是有利有弊（advantages and disadvantages）的~ 當然啦，如果要求小夥伴們在短短几分鐘內不僅要想到優缺點，還要組織好語言表達，同時還要應付自己的partner，掐指一算，這個難度有點大額……
聊到一件事物的利弊，先給寶寶們普及一個知識點——利益相關者（stakeholders），指和一個現象的發生能產生關聯的任何人羣或組織。那麼電子支付的stakeholders有哪些呢？
最直接的當然就是消費者和商家了。
每一個stakeholder都可以從利弊兩方面來看哦~
那麼談到利弊，又有哪些角度可以幫助小夥伴們有話可說呢？
下面我們來看一下具體的實例吧~~
Stakeholder 1：消費者
電子支付對消費者有什麼advantages呢？
First, it is really convenient. All we need is just a smartphone. We don't even have to carry our wallet, because electronic payment saves us from carrying a large amount of cash. If we are going to buy something really expensive, electronic payment would be safer and more convenient, too.
電子支付幫助我們實現了出門不帶錢的小心願，一個手機瀟灑出門，避免了攜帶現金的麻煩。
那麼電子支付對消費者有沒有disadvantages呢？
當然有了，如果手機被偷而身上連一塊鋼鏰兒都摳不出來，這就很尷尬了。
Well, I'm afraid that people would depend too much on electronic payment. You see, if your smartphone got stolen, and you were out alone and penniless, you would be in a very awkward and even dangerous situation.
如果你有類似的親身經歷，還可以適當舉個例子喲，既可以增加說服力，也可以讓對話生動起來！
I remember that my roommate just had such an experience. And from then on, he always carries some cash when hanging out.
此外，電子支付的安全性目前還會讓人擔憂，很多人會擔心自己的私人信息遭到泄露。
Security can also be a problem! Many consumers are concerned about the security of electronic payment. Yes! Many people are afraid that their personal information or even their passwords may get revealed. To tell you the truth, my mother is just one of them. She never puts too much money in her Alipay account or Wechat account.
Stakeholder 2：商家
商家角度的advantages有哪些呢？
電子支 付的便利性使商家獲得更多的收益。
The sellers apparently would welcome electronic payment, because it would definitely encourage consumption and bring more profits.
而且，商家也減少了現金交易，安全又便捷。
They don't have to prepare a large amount of small change. And they won't worry too much about the safety of money.
有沒有disadvantages呢？
部分傳統型的零售商可能會受到很大的衝擊，他們不願意或者沒有能力提供電子支付方式，損失了一部分消費者，甚至有可能遭到行業的淘汰。
And some traditional retailers, especially those in small towns, may be affected, because they might have no equipment for electronic payment. So they may lose their customers or even get eliminated from the industry.
除了消費者和商家之外, 電子支付的stakeholders還有許多，關聯到整個國家經濟、立法機關、執法機關等。在口語考試中，我們應該選擇最好講、最日常的下手，能hold住的就是最優選擇。
