直接上题，What’s the most popular sport in your country?
大部分考生会给出类似于下面的答案: “Well, the most popular sport in China is basketball, because people can develop their fitness and make a lot of friends when playing basketball.”
这样的回答存在以下3个问题:
1. 给的答案是自己认为的还是通过调查来的？
2. 这个答案适用于全国范围吗？有限制条件吗？比如说男女？老少？
3.答题太笼统；
缺乏细节是我们最常提的一点。上面的答案中，貌似是回答了一个原因来阐述这个现象，但其实“people can develop their fitness”这样的表达放在哪个题哪个运动都可以不是吗？为什么就能解释篮球最受欢迎了呢？
正确的答题姿势应该是怎么样？
我们完全可以分不同的情况来讨论不同的结果。就像我们前面提到的，这个问题与年龄有关吗？与性别有关吗？与地区有关吗？如果有，那么我们分情况来讨论，比如：
Well, I think it varies. It depends on age and gender of Chinese people we are talking about here. If it is for young girls, I would say they are more in favor of some mild and soft sports like yoga. But if it is for young guys, I guess playing basketball and football is the most popular choice. Now, if we are talking about the elders, I believe the most preferred sport among males is gate ball as I see in many public parks while the most popular one among females would definitely be line-dancing.
另外，答题要追求具体化。
就刚刚前面提到的“people can develop their fitness”这样的表达，通用但不具体。如果想要符合考官的要求，我们需要把讨论的体育运动以及其影响具体化。
比如swimming可以develops and strengthens the muscles surrounding the knees without impact; biking可以develops strength, balance, and overall fitness; running可以strengthens the heart, lungs, and lower-body muscles and bones以及helps burn up calories。
