雅思口语有关job的话题

Describe a job you want to do in the future【未来的工作】

1.Is it easy to find work 【employment】 in your country?

Well, it really depends on what kind of jobs you’re looking for. Like, if you want to work in state companies, it’s quite hard to get in, since you have to have relationships and connections, people who introduce you for the job, but for something in private companies, it’s quite easy actually, as long as you have a college degree and some relevant working experience, it’s a piece of cake.

2.What changes have there been in recent years in employment in your country?

I think there have been many changes in the types of jobs that people do nowadays compared to 20 or 30 years ago. First of all there are much fewer jobs related to heavy industry such as mining or ship-building or even manufacturing. Secondly, there has been a big increase in the number of jobs in the service and leisure industries like shops, gyms, and hotels. And finally, since the launch of the internet there has been a big surge in the number of jobs related to IT, such as web development and design.

3.What jobs pay the highest salary in your country?

Well, I’m not exactly that sure, but my guess would be that things like banking and real estate are probably the sectors which pay the highest, because I mean, there's so much money invested in property here in China, so the salary's bound to be pretty good if you work in real estate. And as for banking, well, I think it goes without saying that most jobs related to banking are relatively highly-paid, which is one of the main reasons why so many graduates here wanna find a job in a bank!

4.Do you think changing jobs is a positive thing to do?

Yeah, I'd say it's perfectly fine to change jobs. I mean, I can't see any point in doing one job throughout your whole career if you're bored out of your wits! So for me I would say the main thing is to be passionate about your job, and if at any point you start to lose enthusiasm in what you're doing, then it might be a good time to consider moving on and doing something else.

雅思口语匆忙时刻话题

1. When was the last time you did something in a hurry?

Um… when was it?...Let me have a think…I guess it was probably um… a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday, and I had booked a taxi to arrive at the place where I was staying, at about noon-ish, and I still had some clearing up to do, you know, I didn’t want to leave the place in a mess. So yeah, I was basically in a hurry tidying everything up and getting all my things packed before the taxi arrived.

嗯……什么时候?……让我想想……我想大概是……几个星期前，当我度假时，我预订了一辆出租车去我住的地方，大约中午时分，我还有一些清理工作要做，你知道，我不想把地方弄得一团糟。是的，我基本上很匆忙整理一切，在出租车到来之前把所有东西收拾好。

2. Do you like to finish things quickly?

Yeah I do, cos I really don’t like things to hang over me, you know, it’s just not a nice feeling when you’ve got stuff to do hanging at the back of your mind. So I like to get stuff done as quickly as I can,but saying that, I still want to do it well of course! I mean, I’m not gonna do something haphazardly just to get it done quickly, I still wanna make sure I do it well!

是的，我喜欢，因为我真的不喜欢事情缠着我，你知道，当你有事情要做的时候，这种感觉并不好。所以我喜欢尽可能快地把事情做完，但是说，我还是想把它做好!我的意思是，我不会随便做一些事情，只是为了尽快完成，我仍然想确保我做得很好。

3. What kinds of things do you never do in a hurry?

It’s an interesting question!... I’ve never really thought about that one! What kinds of things will I never do in a hurry?...um… I suppose things I would never do in a hurry would be important things, like coursework which counts towards my final grade, and what else?...I’m kind of hard pressed to think! Um… oh yeah, getting to the airport to catch a flight! You know, I’ll always give myself lots of time to get there, even if it means I arrive at the airport several hours in advance, cos it just gives me peace of mind. I mean, if you miss a flight, then your holiday’s probably gone down the drain, so it can be pretty disastrous!

这是个有趣的问题!…我从来没有真正想过那个!什么事我都不会匆忙去做?……嗯……我想我永远不会匆忙做的事会是很重要的事情，比如课程作业，它关系到我的期末成绩，还有什么别的?…我有点难以思考!嗯……哦，是的，到机场赶飞机!你知道，我总是给自己很多时间去那里，即使这意味着我提前几个小时到达机场，因为这样让我心情平静。我的意思是，如果你错过了一个航班，那么你的假期可能会被耗尽，所以它可能是相当灾难性的!

4. Why do people make mistakes more easily when they are in a hurry?

Um… well thinking about it, I suppose it’s simply because when people are in a hurry, they’re not really thinking clearly. You know, their mind’s kind of um.. how can I put it… I guess you could say flustered, thinking about lots of things at the same time, and not really being focused. So in that state of mind, I think you’d agree it’s easy to overlook things, especially small details, which will likely lead to mistakes being made!

嗯…好好想想，我想这只是因为当人们匆匆忙忙的时候，他们并没有很清楚地思考。你知道，他们的头脑是这样的…我怎么说呢……我想你可以说慌乱，同时想很多事情，却没有真正专注。所以，在这种心态下，我认为你会同意很容易忽略一些事情，尤其是小细节，这可能导致犯错误!

雅思口语报刊杂志话题

Describe a magazine or newspaper that you like to read.

You should say:

what magazine or newspaper it is

what the magazine or newspaper is about

how often you read it

and explain why you like to read it.

Ok then, I'm going to describe a newspaper that I like reading, and it's actually one of Hangzhou's local papers called the Morning Express. The reason I started reading this particular paper is basically because it came free with my digital TV subscription, so it would be a bit of a waste if I didn't read it!

好，那我描述一下我喜欢看的报纸，它实际上是杭州的一家地方报纸，叫《晨报》。

Anyway, as for what the newspaper is about, well, it actually covers quite a range of news, such as current affairs, business, sports, local and national news, you name it! But I'd say it essentially focuses on regional news, because after all, it is just a local paper, which, as far as I know, is only circulated in and around Hangzhou.

不管怎么说，至于报纸是关于什么的，嗯，它实际上涵盖了相当多的新闻，比如时事、商业、体育、地方和国家新闻，你说得对!但我想说，它主要关注地区新闻，因为毕竟，它只是一份地方报纸，据我所知，它只在杭州及其周边发行。

And with regard to how often I read it, well, I guess pretty much every day actually, although to be precise, I hardly ever read it in its entirety, as it would be far too time-consuming, especially as I'm not that fast a reader, so I normally just flick through and read only the interesting-looking articles.

至于我多久读一遍，嗯，我猜实际上几乎每天都读一遍，虽然确切地说，我几乎从来没有读过它的全部内容，因为它太费时，尤其是因为我的阅读速度不是很快，所以我通常只是浏览并只读一些看起来有趣的文章。

So finally, as to why I like this paper, well first of all, I would say it's really informative, and it helps me keep up-to-date with what's going on around me, otherwise I wouldn't have much of a clue, to be honest with you! And I guess another thing worth mentioning is that the newspaper is generally very well-written, because the articles, on the whole, are concise and not too wordy, unlike many other newspapers I've read in the past!

所以最后，关于我为什么喜欢这份报纸，首先，我会说它确实信息量很大，而且它帮助我跟上周围发生的事情，不然的话我就没有多少线索了，老实说!我想还有一件值得一提的事情是，这份报纸通常写得很好，因为总的来说，这些文章很简洁，不太冗长，不像我过去读过的许多其他报纸!

雅思口语传统节日话题

1. What public holidays do you have in your country?

We’ve got loads of them, for example, the one that’s just passed was the National Day holiday, and then we’ve got the Spring Festival of course - that’s probably the most important one - which is at the beginning of the year, sometime around, like, late January, beginning of February, that kind of time. And uh, what else do we have? Uh…oh yeah, the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and um… there are a few others as well but I can’t remember them all off-hand I’m afraid!

我们有很多这样的节日，比如刚刚过去的就是国庆节，然后我们当然会有春节，这可能是最重要的节日，在年初的某个时候，比如一月下旬，二月初。时间的种类。呃，我们还有什么? 是的，端午节，中秋节，还有其他一些节日，但是恐怕我不能马上记住它们!

2. Do people in your country celebrate Christmas?

Um…it’s kind of hard to generalize, but I would say, to an extent, yeah. I mean, by and large, it’s the younger generation that tend to celebrate Christmas, but they don’t celebrate it in the way Westerners would. You know, in the West, people go to church, open presents, um…whereas over here, it’s kind of like, just, “let’s get together for a party, go to KTV…” that sort of thing. So it is celebrated, but just in a slightly different way.At least that’s my understanding anyway!

有点难以概括，但我想说，在某种程度上，是的。我的意思是，总的来说，年轻一代倾向于庆祝圣诞节，但是他们不像西方人那样庆祝圣诞节。你知道，在西方，人们去教堂，打开礼物，嗯……而在这里，这就像是，“我们聚会开个派对，去KTV……”之类的事情。所以它是庆祝的，但只是稍微不同的方式。至少这是我的理解无论如何!

3. Do you like public holidays?

Yeah I do. You know, it gives me the opportunity to be together with my family for a bit, take some time off, so yeah, I always tend to look forward to them.

是的。你知道，这让我有机会和家人在一起，休息一段时间，所以我总是很期待他们。

4. Which public holidays do you like the most?

That’s a good question……. I guess I would have to say The Spring Festival, which I’m sure is most people’s favourite, the main reason being that it’s by far the most important festival in our culture. And so everything feels just a bit different during that time. You know, everyone seems happier, the streets are livelier, and it’s basically just like one long party which stretches on for a week or two. And, it’s also probably the only time of year you can eat and drink to your heart’s content without feeling guilty about it!

这是个好问题……我想我得说“春节”，我相信春节是大多数人最喜欢的节日，主要原因是它是我们文化中最重要的节日。所以在这段时间里，一切都有点不同。你知道，每个人看起来都更快乐，街道也更热闹，基本上就像一个延长一两个星期的派对。而且，这也可能是一年中唯一一个你可以尽情地吃和喝而不为此感到愧疚的时刻。
