范文

Well I should first say that due to my parents’ hospitality, we often have visitors at our home. And on special occasions like a birthday party or so, even a house big as ours can get really crowded.

One such occasion I remember was my older sister’s wedding ceremony 2 years ago. The ceremony was arranged in our own house and we had been tremendously busy for it. On that day, over 200 people came, and among them was one special guest named John Kors, father of the bridegroom’s senior brother and also a well-known figure in town. Mr. Kors actually, is a famous writer and the minute he arrived at the scene, many of us recognized him immediately.

I greeted Mr. Kors well and led him to sit on a comfortable couch. Since I was at the same time, busy with a lot of other stuff, I only got to come to Mr. Kors time to time to see if he needed anything. Later, I asked him what type of food he would prefer to have and led him to the dining place. I had a short and delightful conversation with him down there, and told him that I have read some of his books and really liked those stories. He smiled back at me gently, asking me how I thought of his newly published book, ‘Shadows and Smiles’. I knew immediately that he was trying to figure out if I had really appreciated his works or was I just telling him so to please him. So, I told him a couple of things I like and dislike about his new book, and found him smiling. In the evening, right before Mr. Kors’s departure, I brought a book written by him and asked him if he would be kind enough to sign me an autograph. He willingly signed it on the cover page and wrote me a few complementary words.

My feelings on Mr. Kors’s visit to our house was in a word, exciting. I guess for most people, meeting a famous person and having a conversation with him/her is indeed something delightful. I wish I had more time to spend with him so that I could be able to know more about this person.

雅思口语Article话题

Describe an article that you read from a magazine or from the Internet about healthy life.

You should say:

when you read it

where you read it

what it is about

and if you agree with this opinion of the article.

解析：首先当考生拿到这样一个题目的时候，一定要明确part2话题的关键词，和修饰语是什么，从题干里我们可以看出，分别是：an article, 以及healthy life, 才从哪里看到这篇文章，方式已经确定了，是from a magazine or from the Internet,所以请大家审题一定要仔细。这个话题比较新，是物品类话题中比较生僻的一个考题，所以希望考生引起足够的重视，最好是能够做一些前期储备，比如你想说的这篇文章具体谈论了什么，是在哪本杂志，或是哪个网站看到的，这个题目里面给出的4个线索，分别是：when/where you read it, what it is about, and if you agree with this opinion of the article.其中比较好展开的应该是what it is about,谈论它的内容，以及你的个人感受，你同意还是不同意，给出原因。那么在选材的时候，建议同学选和自己生活息息相关的，比如说饮食，healthy food, 10 secrets about healthy food; 或者是fitness, 5 tips for you to keep fit等等。之所以选这些有数字的文章，因为这样说起来会比较能够按照第一点，第二点这样展开，具有条理性。而如果选择解释某个和健康相关的现象，那么会相对来说难度过大，进而对流利度造成阻碍。最后考生可以结合自己的实际体验，谈论自己是否同意这篇文章的观点和看法。老师在这里想要给大家呈现的是一个比较特别，但是又和我们生活息息相关的，且比较好表达的话题，也就是：防晒误区小贴士。

相关词汇：

sun protection防晒;Reader’s Digest 【美国】读者文摘 SPF防晒系数 sunburn晒伤;tips小贴士; skin cancer皮肤癌;lotion乳液;wellbeing幸福

参考答案：

Well, I have read an article concerning about how to get sun protection in summer. I browsed it on Reader’s Digest online when I stayed at home for summer vocation several weeks ago. You know, there is a health column on its homepage, which is quite useful，and I do think getting to know something about how to avoid sunburn as well as skin damage is necessary in summer, so I looked at that article very carefully.In this article, it shares common sunscreen mistakes people make in daily life, and then it provides some tips to protect our skin from skin cancer and signs of aging. Actually, there are more than 5 sunscreen mistakes listed on the article, however, I can’t remember it all. But, one thing I would not forget is that it mentions we have always believed that applying a high SPF means you can spend more time in the sun without getting sunburn. Actually, that’s not really the case. Coating yourself in SPF 50 doesn’t mean that you can stay in the sun for longer. It suggests that we’d better reapply the lotion for at least every two hours.Health is strong related to everyone’s wellbeing and I totally agree with the opinions mentioned in the text. To be honest, I’m pretty gratitude for knowing the right way to protect my skin, if that’s not too late, as I used to believe that once I had put on sunscreen, then my face wouldn’t get damaged. So, I’d say that article really help me lead a healthier life.

雅思口语邻居话题

1. Are there many people living near you?

If yes:

Yeah there are, because I live in quite a residential area, and so most of the buildings around my home are apartment blocks.

如果是：

是的，因为我住在一个相当大的住宅区，所以我家周围的大部分建筑都是公寓楼。

If no:

No, I wouldn’t say there are, because I mean, a lot of the flats where I live are empty, which is probably due to the fact that most of the people who bought them didn’t actually plan on moving in, but instead bought them simply as an investment. So yeah, it’s a pretty quiet neighbourhood.

如果没有：

不，我不会说有，因为我的意思是，我住的很多公寓都是空的，这可能是因为大多数买房子的人实际上并没有打算搬进去，而是简单地把它们当作投资买了。是的，这是一个相当安静的街区。

2. Do you know all your neighbours?

Answer A:

Well, I wouldn’t say I know all them, but I know a fair few, and that’s mainly because I spend quite a lot of time in gardens of my apartment complex, which is how I got to know them.

嗯，我不会说我全都知道，但我知道不少，这主要是因为我花了很多时间在我公寓的花园里，这就是我认识它们的方式。

Answer B:

No not really, because my neighbours tend to keep 【pretty much】 to themselves. You know, I mean, if I happen to see them, we might say hi to each other, but that’s about it, and then they’ll just continue with doing whatever it is they’re doing.

不是的，因为我的邻居们往往对自己保持着很高的感情。你知道，我的意思是，如果我碰巧看到他们，我们可以互相打招呼，但就是这样，然后他们就会继续做他们正在做的事情。

3. When do you see your neighbours?

I guess the time when I mostly see them is when I’m in the lift of my apartment block. You know, that’s pretty much the only time I come into contact with them, because I don’t really know them all that well, so I’ve neverbeen round to any of their homes or anything like that.

我猜大部分时候我看到他们是在我公寓的电梯里。你知道，那几乎是我唯一和他们接触的时间，因为我对他们不是很了解，所以我从来没有去过他们的任何家或类似的地方。

4. How often do you see your neighbours?

Well I guess it depends, because I mean, during term time, I don’t see them at all, cos I’m away at university,. but during the holidays, when I’m back home, I guess I probably see them about three or four times a week, because I’m quite good friends with a few of them.

我想这要看情况，因为我的意思是，在学期期间，我根本就看不到他们，因为我不在大学。但是在假期里，当我回到家的时候，我猜我一周大概会见到他们三四次，因为我和他们当中的一些人是很好的朋友。

5. Do you think it’s important to know your neighbours?

If yes:

Yeah, I suppose it is, because I think it helps create a good community spirit if we know our neighbours. In other words, it kind of gives the neighbourhood a nice, friendly feel, instead of a cold, unwelcoming one, if you know what I mean!

是的，我想是的，因为我认为如果我们认识我们的邻居，它有助于创造一个良好的社区精神。换言之，如果你明白我的意思，它会给邻居一种友好、友好的感觉，而不是冷漠、不受欢迎的感觉!

If no:

No I wouldn’t really say it is, because for me I think friends and family are enough. And I mean, in my case I don’t spend nearly enough time with my family as it is, so I can’t really see the need to get to know my neighbours as well. And this probably goes for a lot of people, not just me.

不，我不会真的这么说，因为对我来说，朋友和家人已经足够了。我的意思是，就我的情况而言，我没有花足够的时间和家人在一起，所以我真的不认为有必要了解我的邻居。这可能对很多人来说，不仅仅是我。

雅思口语噪音话题

Do you prefer to study in a quiet environment or an environment with some sounds?

Well, I guess on the whole I prefer to study in a quiet environment, the main reason being that I find it easier to concentrate, because noises or sounds tend to distract me. So in other words, I tend to get more work done when I can't hear anything around me. But saying that, I do occasionally like to listen to some music while I'm studying, because it can make it a little bit more enjoyable.

嗯，总的来说，我更喜欢在安静的环境下学习，主要原因是我发现更容易集中注意力，因为噪音或声音会分散我的注意力。换句话说，当我周围什么都听不到的时候，我倾向于做更多的工作。但话虽如此，我还是偶尔喜欢在学习时听点音乐，因为这样会使音乐更有趣。

Does your school have any quiet places for studying?

Yeah, I guess I'm quite lucky in this respect, because there's a pretty big library on our campus with loads of desks for studying, and I'm always able to get quite a lot of work done there, as it's really nice and quiet.

是的，我想我在这方面很幸运，因为我们校园里有一个很大的图书馆，有很多书桌供我学习，而且我总是能在那里完成很多工作，因为那里真的很好很安静。

What natural sound do you like the most?

That's an interesting question, and I'm not really that sure to be honest with you, but I guess I would probably say the natural sound I like most is that of waves hitting the seashore, because it's just really soothing, if you know what I mean. And it's a sound I only really get to hear when I'm on holiday, so I also probably associate it with being on holiday, which would be another reason why I like it so much!

这是个有趣的问题，我并不是真的很诚实，但我想我最喜欢的自然声音是海浪拍打海岸的声音，因为如果你明白我的意思的话，那真的很舒缓。这种声音只有在我度假时才能真正听到，所以我可能也会把它和度假联系起来，这也是我如此喜欢它的另一个原因!

Are there any sounds that you dislike?

Yeah, for sure! I mean, firstly, I really can't stand the sound of drilling, simply because it's just such a loud and unpleasant noise, so that would definitely be at the top of my list. And I guess the next one would be the sound of cars hooting, mainly because I hear it all the time where I live, and so it gets quite irritating after a while, especially when I'm trying to concentrate on something.

是的，当然!我的意思是，首先，我真的不能忍受钻探的声音，仅仅因为它是如此响亮和不愉快的噪音，所以那肯定是我的首选。我猜下一个是汽车呼啸的声音，主要是因为我住的地方一直听到，所以过了一段时间就变得很烦人，尤其是当我想集中精力做事的时候。

Are you ever bothered by noise?

Yeah, for sure, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep, you know, if there's a dog barking or something, it can really be quite maddening, but during the day I'd say I can put up with pretty much most noise, unless, of course, the noise is really loud and relentless, like if there's construction or renovation work going on around me.

是啊，当然了，尤其是当我想睡觉的时候，你知道，如果有狗吠声或者别的什么，那真的会很令人恼火，但是在白天，我会说我可以忍受大部分的噪音，除非，当然，噪音真的很响而且无情，就像有建筑一样。我周围的装修工作正在进行。
