在雅思口语考试现场，北京朗阁想要说的是，考官是见多识广的人，在他所遇到的那么多的考生当中，在某个特定话题上给出相似答案的肯定有很多，如果考生按正常的思维来回答同样的问题，难免落入模板答案的陷阱，这时候考生学会逆向思维来获得就显得非常重要。

逆向思维是指出其不意、对司空见惯的似乎已成定论的事物或观点反过来思考的一种思维方式。北京朗阁雅思培训的学员们要敢于反其道而思之，让思维向对立面的方向发展，从问题的相反方面深入地进行探索，反向而行，换一种眼光，换一个角度看问题。

 

步：逆向思维的破冰

 

例题：Do you like music and what type of music do you like?

【正向思维】：Yes, I do. And I like rock music particularly. As a fashionable person I believe rock music can reflect my personality. And rock music is so popular that if you don’t want to be left out of fashion, you’d better have one or two rock icons.

【逆向思维】：Actually, I'm not fond of music. It’s just not my cup of tea. I would rather read or see a movie. But sometimes, I would like to listen to religious music because it gives me peace and relax myself and it’s such a od partner for reading.

 

用逆向思维思考问题要敢于打破常规，从问题的对立面找到突破口。同样是对音乐的喜欢，正向思维只是泛泛而谈，赢在措辞和表达；而逆向思维则在于峰回路转，虽然不喜欢音乐，但对这么美好的东西总有不拒绝的方面，于是从另一个爱好中引出喜欢的音乐种类，对考官的问题回答的也很全面。

 

第二步：局部逆向思维

 

例题：Do you think public holidays are important?

【正向思维】：Yes, pubic holidays have always been important to people. The harder you work, the more important your holidays become to you, because you need the relaxation. And I think that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So it is important for people to have public holidays to relax themselves.

【逆向思维】：Not all of them I’m afraid. The traditional public holidays are of vital importance without any doubt, as they remind people the importance of a nation’s tradition. However, when it comes to some others, Labor Day for example, the only meaning left has become having three days’ free time at the price of altering them with other work days. As I see it, the loss outweighs the gain.

 

对本身反驳余地并不大的问题，北京朗阁考生也不要生拉硬拽地去使用逆向思维，我们可以在部分肯定的基础上给自己一定的可发挥空间，一定要确保答案的合理和流畅。而对于绝大多数人一听到问题就会有的一致思维若能巧妙避开，一定能够在考试当中出彩。

 

第三步：抓住逆向思维充分论述

 

例句：Do you often invite friends to visit your home?

【正向思维】：Yes, I enjoy hanging around with my friends. I often throw some exciting parties at my home during the weekends. We will grab a few beers and enjoy a vast feast together, and then play games or have small talks with each other.

【逆向思维】：No, I hardly ever invite any of my friends to my house. As for me, home is like a haven where you can hide yourself and relax yourself, so I don’t want anyone to disturb the silence. If my friends and I want to have a party or simply a gathering, we will eat out and to a KTV afterwards.

 

经常举行派对，只有土豪会这么做，那么正向思维也就是肯定的答案在这里的真实性就减弱了，这时逆向思维就能够显出它的必要性。但是不邀请朋友来要有不邀请的理由，理由的论述一定要完整，让自己的理由站得住脚，经得起推敲。逆向思维不是为了追求特立独行，孤独到考官都无法理解的地步，而是开启另外一扇通往答案的门，而考官在进入这扇大门之后会发现门的另一边丰富多彩的风景。

 

第四步：对逆向思维的坚定与信心

 

例子：Do you like flowers?

【正向思维】：Yes, of course. Flowers smell od and they can make me feel great, because they come from nature and the pleasant scent relax my nerves. Also flowers are od source of tea and even medicine. You see, they are so versatile and useful.

【逆向思维】：Honestly no, I’m not into flowers. Although fresh flowers give out pleasant scent, they are easy to dry. And dry flowers remind you of the fade of life, which is miserable. Most importantly, I’m allergic to pollen so I’ll stay as far as possible from a flower.

在正向思维中回答的全是花的正面优点，花确实是美好的象征，但对大多数人来说，对花优点的赞扬肯定大于贬低，若是从负面入手，结合自己的过敏体质的特点（考官是不会去验证你过敏与否的真实性的），反而会给考官留下深刻印象。对逆向思维，考生大可放心使用，并自信地去展现自己与众不同的一面。

北京朗阁培训中心的老师认为，逆向思维就是跳出常规，反向而行，换一种眼光，换一个角度看问题，从而发现别人没有发现的新事物、新动态、新思想，内向思维的作用就是摆脱大多数人的思维模式，去寻找有新意的想法，新鲜的人和事，从而做到与众不同，出奇制胜，获取。希望考生们能在考试当中灵活地使用逆向思维，给考官留下深刻印象！
