在全球經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣的大環(huán)境下，雅思考試口語的第二部分卡片題又增加了一套題，希望近期參加考試的烤鴨們進(jìn)行適當(dāng)準(zhǔn)備。題目如下：

Describe an economic risk.

You have to answer:

What it was like

Where it took place

When it took place

and explain your opinion of it.

由于這道題的出現(xiàn)，第三部分也會(huì)出現(xiàn)一些與經(jīng)濟(jì)相關(guān)的extended questions.

我們可以做一個(gè)brainstorming.經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)現(xiàn)在就在發(fā)生，對(duì)于我們的樓市，就業(yè)，證券行業(yè)都產(chǎn)生了巨大沖擊。我們的開頭就采用描述一些現(xiàn)象的方式引入，然后再談對(duì)于我們生活產(chǎn)生的影響。我寫了一個(gè)sample answer.懂經(jīng)濟(jì)的同學(xué)可以在這基礎(chǔ)上做些修改，說得更深入一些。對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)不了解的同學(xué)也不必緊張，盡量用口語話的詞語把意思表達(dá)出來就可以了，不必用一些非常專業(yè)化的術(shù)語。

Well, right at present, whenever you turn on the TV or surf the Internet, you will inevitably see a term "economic risk" appearing repeatedly. It originated last year in America and now is affecting the whole world.

One of the most significant influences it has exerted on our life is the depression in real estate industry. On the one hand, real estate companies has a lot of apartments and flats for sale. Contrastingly, those who are in an urgent need for houses can not afford them.
Another industry which is also suffering from this economic crisis is stock industry. People lose money in it due to the steady decrease in the price of stock. Consequently, people panic for the sake of it.

In addition, the financial crisis also gives rise to the increase in the unempoyment rate. A lot of factories cut down on their work forces in order to survive this crisis.

In my point of view, all the governments and individuals should make joint efforts to solve the problem. Our government has been encouraging people to spend money in order to promote the economic development. But as an individual, I guess the best policy is to save enough money and try to develop an economical lifestyle.
