雅思口语的第三部分主要是针对第二部分话题卡题目的基础上，引申出一些社会问题进行考官与考生的双向讨论。考生想要在第三部分表现出色，首先要对相关的社会问题有所了解，其次要会用适当的英语表述出来。在第三部分中，比例最大的题目类型是Compare/Contrast，如何能够在第三部分自然流利的表达呢?下面我们就来了解一下Compare/Contrast类题目范围及回答常用句型。

　　Compare/Contrast类题目主要包括以下几类：

　　地域 (city/ rural area; north/south; different countries)

　　好坏 (advantages/disadvantages)

　　过去/现在/将来 (past/now/future)

　　人群 (age group; male/female)

　　政府/个人 (government/individual)

　　同类(相近)事物之间 (coffee/tea; radio/TV; seeing comedy/reading funny materials in a book; polite/friendly)

　　考官会在第二部分话题的基础上，根据以上总结的六类范围，让考生比较同类事物的相同点及不同点，并使考生回答出自己对此类社会问题的看法。同学们在备考的过程中，可以试着按以上几个分类预测第三部分的问题并练习自己的答案。以下是回答Compare/Contrast类问题的常用句型：
