雅思口语Part1-3话题语料积累：Concentration
前言
专注力“Concentration”乍看一下是一个很抽象话题，但和雅思常考话题是有着非常紧密的联系。同学们认真想想，其实“专注力”这个话题经常出现于很多考题里面，例如，
在Part 1 中会这样出现：
- What do youdo to help you concentrate?
- What maydistract you when you are trying to stay focused?
- When do youneed to concentrate?
- Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?
在Part 2 中会这样出现：
常考话题“Describe an award that you won”描述一个获得的奖项就会有所涉及。一般来说，人们获得奖项，特别是技能类奖项（例如钢琴比赛奖），都需要一段时间的准备过程。而在这段准备过程中，专注力就是一项很重要的因素。因为只有专心致志的紧盯目标，才能提升自己的技能点，从而获得奖励。
这样的例子也可以在其他类型话题中发现，例如让你描述一个成功的人，或者是描述一个小时候学会的技能等。
那么该如何回到与专注力相关的话题呢？我们可以从三个基本问题来进行拆解？
1.When？——什么时候需要专注力？
2.Why？——为什么需要专注力？effective
3.How？——怎么做到专注？
首先，人们什么时候需要专注力？仔细想想，我们生活的方方面面都有着专注力的参与。从最基础的来说，人活着就需要专注力，开车走路专注才能保障生命安全；学习生活中，我们需要专注力才能理解知识点，才能在考试中取得好成绩；在工作中，社畜想要交出一份老板满意的报告也需要专注力的投入；甚至！在感情生活中，专注力也是构成一段健康亲密关系不可或缺的存在。（写到这，小编就不得不吐槽一下现在流行的鱼塘文化都是什么歪风邪气，一边“养鱼”又一边说自己找不到真爱，是想闹哪样！）
例句：
Anything worthy of some serious attention, for example when taking tests in school, driving on the highway, or connecting with someone in a conversation. It occurs to me that the more we concentrate on doing something, better quality the outcome is.
那为什么人们需要专注力呢？我们可以从两个角度去对这个需要作出诠释：
1）精神稳定
在当今这个高速发展的社会里，似乎人们都在追求“速成”，比如十分钟看完一部电影，7天瘦身计划，甚至一夜暴富都成了许多人的目标。抖音上充斥着：我1999年，三年前自主创业，现在已经年薪百万的凡尔赛文学艺人。
这些信息的快速传播，再加上各大平台的“90后，你已经被同龄人抛弃”毒鸡汤投喂，造成了多少焦虑的头秃青年。而当你真的拥有专注力的话，你就会按照你自己的节奏去踏实的走好每一步，而不是追求和复刻所谓的“快速成功学”。
2）保持高效
缺乏专注力会有什么结果呢？不可否认第一个答案是人们处理事情的效率会降低，因为你的注意力同时分散在了很多地方，经常明明读着书的人，却突然刷起了淘宝的事件屡见不鲜。
例句：
A list of different things may get me sidetracked, like noises of any kind, loud music, WeChat messages, or people interrupting me. However, the biggest source of distraction for me has to be the smartphone, sometimes even during quiet moments, distraction may be literally at my fingertips as I find myself checking Instagram notifications or the latest news updates.
那么怎么才能找回专注力？并未专注力的产生创造条件呢？这个问题也可以从两个方面去达成。
1）外界支持
怎么能让自己迅速镇静下来，并投入到事情之中呢？有的人会选择喝咖啡，或者选择一个相对于安静舒适的环境从外界条件上辅助自己进入到一个专心的状态里
例句：
For me, caffeine is undoubtedly an attention booster. Start my day with a cup of Americano always makes me less apt to be distracted and better able to pay attention during a demanding task. Another alternative is to seek out a calm location where I will be able to work undisturbed, some examples of the good spots can be a library, a coffee shop, or just a private room in my home.
2）内在调整
除了物理创造条件，心里暗示也有着不可低估的力量。心理医生曾建议难以进入到专心状态的人们，可以在做事前做一个简短的冥想，清空自己的思绪让自己专注于面前的目标。除了冥想，深呼吸也是一种很好的调整方式，通过一个平缓稳定的呼吸节奏让自己的生理和心理都调整到一个平和的状态去让自己的效能最高化。
