Part Three 提问方式与回答策略之二

“流行“问题回答策略

What is the most popular…in your country?
“中国最流行的……是什么? ”回答此类问题时，切勿给出一个 覆盖所有人的答案。我们的策略是把中国人大概分成两个阵营，并且这两个阵营的喜好要有明显的差异，比如说 :
youngsters and elders(音乐、体育、电影、旅游景点等)
men and women (休闲方式、购物等〉
children and adults (阅读 、感兴趣的新闻等)
students and office workers (AA制、购物等)
northern Chinese and southern Chinese (主食等)

我们使用以下的这个结构来回答:
It depends(看情况 )
For X (对于一种人来说 )
I believe that they have a fancy for…(总述)
such as…(举例)
simply because they…
Yet for Y (对另外一种人来说)
I guess they tend to like…(总述)
including…(举例)
That’s probably because they…
What is the most popular sport in your country?
Well, it depends.
For youngsters, I believe that ball game is their most favorite sport, like Basketball, soccer, badminton, tennis, you name it.
Yet for elders, I guess they may have a fancy for some more relaxing sports, such as jogging, walking, doing Tai Chi and square dancing.
Meanwhile, there are some sports that are welcomed by all age groups, like table tennis, swimming and cycling.
以上的回答已经很好，因为我们做到了一分为二。但是如果我们 想拿更高分，还可以在此上做到合二为一。因为在我国有些运动 不论男女老少都很喜欢.

What is the most favourite music in your country?
Well, it depends.
For youngsters, I am sure they are in favour of popular music, like pop, rock, hip hop, fusion, funk and stuff like that.
Yet for elders, I suppose they are fond of more relaxing music, such as Chinese indigenous opera, red songs and classical music.
At the same time, some types of music are universally loved by all people, like light music, folk music and country music.
