What do you like most about X? — тип вопросов, который часто задают на тесте. Чтобы на него ответить, вам нужно следовать рекомендациям в посте.
Мы с вами рассмотрим разные типы вопросов и то, как можно на них ответить. Это не является лучшим или единственно правильным ответом. Но я вам рекомендую взять их себе на заметку.
Помните, что хорошая подготовка — залог успешной сдачи любого экзамена.
Итак, когда экзаменатор спрашивает вас подобного рода вопросы
- What do you like most abot your job?
- What do you like most about your home town?
- Which is your favourite type of the weather?
Помните, что вопросы необязательно должны начинаться именно так. Главное, проанализируйте саму суть вопроса, и затем применяйте наши рекомендации.
Порядок ответа
- Сказать какие аспекты X вам больше всего нравятся
- Объясните почему
Вам нужно освоить следующую структуру:
- Использовать глаголы, изменяющие наречия, для выражения степени симпатии (“I especially like playing the piano”/”Students particularly enjoy going to bars and night clubs”)
- Использовать параллельные структуры правильно (“I like going to the cinema, watching TV and playing video games”),
- Использовать простые соединительные слова правильно (“Although Beijing has developed really fast, it’s still not very expensive”/ “I don’t like travelling to work, but I enjoy my job”)
Шаг 1 выражение степени симпатии
Используйте различные способы для выражения того, как сильно вам нравятся различные аспекты X.
| Adverb | Verb | Activity/place |
| really | like | Verb-ing. Noun |
| especially | enjoy | |
| particularly | love |
Примеры:
- I really enjoy watching the trees by the lake bend in the wind.
- I particularly like my hometown’s food.
- I especially love attending my psychology lectures.
Можно использовать любые из комбинаций из таблицы выше. Обратите внимание, что после «like», «love» и «enjoy» следует использовать либо глагол в герундии V-ing либо существительное. Поэтому получаем:
“I especially like/love/enjoy walking in the countryside”
“I especially like/love/enjoy the countryside”
Но нельзя сказать: “I love/like/enjoy to walking”
Практические упражнения:
- I really liking meeting new people.
- I particularly to love travelling as part of my job.
- She especially enjoys visit the famous sights in my hometown.
- I enjoy to taking photographs and sending postcards home
- I very like living with my classmates in our dormitory.
- I really love snowy weather.
Шаг 2 параллельные структуры
Параллельная структура означает, что последовательность слов в предложении «согласуется» друг с другом. Лучший способ понять это -взглянуть на следующие примеры.
- I really enjoy watching plays, writing papers and listening to the school band
- My mother particularly likes to dance, go out to restaurants and spend time with the family
Как вы заметили, все глаголы в предложениях выше, имеют одинаковую форму. Так что можно сказать, что они «согласуются» друг с другом. Многие кандидаты теряют баллы на экзамене из-за того, что совершают типичные ошибки по согласованию. Обратите внимание на примеры ниже, где показаны типичные ошибки.
- “I especially like reading scientific journals, have fun with my study mates and relaxing on campus” (X)
- “I like to scientific journals, have fun with my study mates and relaxing on campus” (X)

Типичный ответ
Interviewer: What do you like most about student life?
Candidate: What I particularly like about student life is the golden opportunity it gives me to expand my horizons. At university I can not only increase my knowledge about my major and learn new things like Tango and hiking, but I can also meet lots of new people.
Interviewer: What’s the best thing about your hometown?
Candidate: My hometown is Xiamen which is situated in Fujian Province. The best thing about my hometown is its location. It’s right on the coast, and from most places in the city there are beautiful views of the sea. Although we get the odd typhoon every year because we are by the seaside, we also enjoy light sea breezes during the summer. But what I especially value about Xiamen’s location is the fresh seafood we can eat all year round.
