雅思口语part1参考答案

1. Yes, I love to spend my leisure time listening music.

2. Well, there is no special category that I am following most. but for sure I have preference based on my mood. Normally I'm a huge fan of classical music with soft melodies. These are always refreshing my mind. During working alone like cooking, cleaning household staffs I listen to rock songs with high volume which brings a lot of energy.

To be honest there is no drastic changes. I noticed few mere changes for instance I have now more interest on English song which was never in my favorite list.

6. I’m really into live music … I go to a lot of music festivals … I think a live performance always sounds more exciting than a recorded version … as long as the performers can sing and play well of course …

雅思口语Boat话题

1. Do you often travel by boat?

题目解析：

first of all, travel有两种意思，出行和旅游，那么我们都在什么时候会坐船出行呢?试想住在意大利的威尼斯【Venice】或者云南水乡【watery place/region】的同学的日常出行除了坐船可能也并没有其他选择【other choices/alternatives】，船是不可或缺【indispensable】的交通方式。这道题给肯定回答的话同学们要注意，千万不要说完自己的家乡is just like Venice之后就so, you know～～～考官可能会直接给你一个"NO I DON'T"【不要问老师是怎么知道的，都是泪】我们的答题原则是话一定要讲清楚!讲清楚!讲清楚!【重要的话说三遍】后面依然需要解释一个watery place就是一切城市设施【facilities】都建在水上【above water】而不同于普通的城市，并没有所谓的"路"【there are no so-called "roads"】，这样才算讲清楚了。

那么相信更多的同学可能都不会把船当成日常出行的主要交通工具【means of transport】吧，所以先要强调出行目的是旅行，可以用到go on a long journey【进行一次长途旅行】或者go on a trip【没有强调长途的旅行】这些表达。而在旅行途中我们需要坐船的场合【occasion】也无非是在游览景区的水域【go sightseeing on a lake/down the streams,】时，其他时候选择搭乘飞机或火车【take a plane/train】会帮我们节省掉很多时间【save somebody a lot of time】。

Actually I would say yes, taking a boat is like the indispensable transport in my daily life, because I live in a watery place in the south-west of China, which is just like the Venice. We go everywhere by boat since the all the houses and facilities are built above water, there are no so-called "roads". So speaking of travelling to another place, I don't really have any alternative but taking a boat.

Not really, mostly when I go on long journeys, apparently it saves me more time to travel by plane or train. When I need to go somewhere nearby my location, I prefer to drive there or take a bus. Actually I can't think of any occasion when taking a boat could be a preferable mean of transport, unless you want to go sightseeing around a lake or down the streams etc., which does not happen on most of my trips.

2. Would you like to go on a boat tour?

题目解析：

看到boat tour这么诱人的字眼同学们是不是都跟老师一样第一个想到了史诗级"灾难片"【误】Titanic了呢!豪华游轮行【luxurious cruise tour】一直都是本老【bao】师【bao】的梦想呢。cruise tour最大的好处不外乎可以看到如海上日落【sunset on the sea】这样独特的美景【beautiful scene/view】了。如果嫌beautiful太烂大街，可以用gorgeous, stunning, magnificent等来替换。当然，只要不像电影里一样撞冰山【crash with an iceberg】就是一种很美妙的旅行体验了。当然，boat tour还包括游江湖河流【boating on a river/lake/down the streams】，看着沿途的山水风景【while gazing at the mountains and forests along the way】也是不错的体验。

连boat tour都不喜欢?那你一定是晕船【get seasick easily】了。注意seasick是形容词，按照汉语的语法说I have seasick甚至I seasick都是错的。晕船的确很惨，可能会吐【throw up/puke/vomit】很久。这种糟糕的体验可以用一句it was a nightmare来总结。

Yes, definitely! I've been longing for a cruise tour for ages since I watched the film Titanic, it looked so cool and luxurious to be on a ship with restaurants, bars and everything on it. Also, you can enjoy the gorgeous sunset on the sea, so I think cruising is the best way to travel as long as the ship doesn't crash with an iceberg like what happened in the film.

No, not really. I get seasick easily, so staying on a boat for too long is absolutely not a good idea for me. I still remember that I had a 30-minute boat tour when I was travelling on LIJIANG river and kept throwing up for 10 minutes afterwards, it was a nightmare.

3. Where in your country do people most often use/travel by boats?

题目解析：

比较常规的思路当然是沿海地区【coastal areas】的人们更有机会【have more chances/opportunities】乘船出行，普通市民可以出海游玩【have a boat tour on the sea】，宏观来讲，船只对于城市的作用自然是港口【habour】运输，"通过船来运输"可以直接用动词ship来表达，货物大家都知道是goods，"在港口之间"介词用between/from/to都是可以的。在一些沿海大城市很多人都有自己的游艇【yacht】，而且港口对于进出口【import/export goods】也是至关重要的【important/significant/indispensable】。注意import跟export都是及物动词，后面一定要跟名词，不能什么都不跟。如果不想重复goods的话跟一个things/stuff也是可以的。

Perhaps people who live in coastal cities have more chances to travel by boats. Obviously, it's easier for them to have a boat tour on the sea or ship goods from/to other habours. For instance, in my hometown, a lot of people even have their own yachts. Plus, there are quite a few habours which are significant means of importing and exporting stuff.

There're lots of watery places in the south-west of China, which are just like the Venice. For people there, taking a boat is like the indispensable transport in their daily lives. They go everywhere by boat since the all the houses and facilities are built above water, there are no so-called "roads". So speaking of travelling to another place, they don't really have any alternative but taking a boat.

雅思口语old people话题

1. At what age are people considered to be “old” in China?

每个人的想法不同，我的是…

That is really a big question. People’s views much be divided on this. From my perspective, …

按时间区分：以前觉得70+算老人，现在这个定义慢慢延后，因为人们寿命更长，更多的老年人仍旧发挥余热，为社会做出了很多的贡献

The easiest way to divide the old from all is to judge according to the chronological age. In the past, people over 70s are considered to be old, but this line has been shifted gradually with the time goes by, because people nowadays live much longer than before. Many older people can still make great contribution to the society, so broadly speaking, I think, those over 80s, or those who are no longer physically capable can be regarded as just entering the twilight life.

生理年龄不再是唯一的衡量标准，一个人的心理年龄和本身的身体素质更加重要

The biological age has no longer been the only judgment, because the real psychological age and the physical fitness differ from person to person, and they seem to be more important for others to decide whether the person is qualified as “old” or not.

大体而言，50岁以上就感觉在慢慢变老，的却，那个时候的身体和心理逐渐在走下坡路

Broadly speaking, when people are over their 50s, they will gradually feel that they are getting older. Indeed, the physical and mental condition do decrease year by year, with a higher possibility of suffering from diseases and less tolerant and acceptable to different opinions and new ideas.

一个人失去了对人生的热情，其实就已经老了。所有常常会用老来形容一个没有激情的人，而不是形容一个人的年龄

I firmly believe that being “old” is simply connected with the state of mind. If one loses passion for life, they are indeed becoming old. This is why, in China, we tend to describe someone who show very little enthusiasm to life as an old bookish man.

2. Why do old people today live longer than in the past?

医疗水平变高

The advance in medical service means that more diseases become curable and can be easily diagnosed at an early age. Senile diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are less common among the older pensioner and most of them can even live very long with the illness being uncured permanently.

营养更丰富

Food nutrition has also been largely improved, not only because of the development in farming skills but also because of the fertilizers that are used to ensure a higher proportion of diverse types of vitamins being reserved during the planting process within a less time period.

人们更重视运动

Another important factor is the widespread scientific reports that emphasize the positive effects of regular exercise on people’s physical fitness, so most of the modern people become more aware of the importance of doing sports and many older people, with more time available after retirement, participate actively in various sorts of sports.

定期的健康检查，很多问题可以及早被发现

Besides, regular health check has been required by most companies nowadays in China and younger people also arrange this activity for their aging parents. It is now fair to say that many potential health hazards can be easily found in advance and therefore be avoided eventually.

更多对于老龄化问题的关注，使得很多福利机构和实施被建造

More attention has been paid for the aging society, so government and private charity groups have set up many nursing house and other accessible facilities for the senior citizens, which means generally, a higher living standard can be expected and people then live much longer under a better welfare system.

3. What are some things a person can do to help them live longer?

多运动

An obvious answer is to take part in more outdoor activities because it can enhance the immune system and further build up the physical fitness. Especially in an outdoor atmosphere, we can breathe more fresh air and speed up the process of metabolism.

定期的健康检查

Regular health check should be taken on a, at least, yearly basis. So that diseases can be found well before it poses any threat to our body and our mind.

多和家人朋友沟通，减轻压力

Also, I would suggest people to frequently talk to their friends and family members, particularly on the occasion of feeling stressful or facing difficulties. By expressing one’s emotion feely, one can actually easily release the negative emotion and find hope in life, which seems to be more important than just being healthy physically.

适当调整目标，不要太逼自己

Even though the modern life has set higher demand for most people, in order to live longer, people should constantly adjust their goals to keep pace with their ability at the time. Pushing oneself too much is definitely detrimental to the expansion of longevity.

选择自己喜欢的事情，而不是做一些让自己痛苦的事情

In any stage of one’s life, people should choose to participate in the things that interest them most instead of those impose heavy mental pressure and make them hopeless all the time.

少看电视，多读书

A simple solution could be the reduction of TV time and Internet addiction and to spend more time on reading books or other mentally healthy activities, such as playing chess or listening to the music.

雅思口语家族企业话题

Describe a family business you know 【new】

You should say:

What the business it

How you know it

What products it sells

Who the customers are

And how you like it

雅思口语part2范文

The LUCRATIVE SMALL-SCALE business that I'd like to talk about today is a boutique that I patronize, named "She Loves".

我今天想谈的利润丰厚的小型企业是一家我光顾的精品店，取名为“她爱”。

As a fashion shop, it sells an array of women's wear and specialize in dresses and blouses. Although they're not tailor-made clothes, customers can almost always find an outfit that fits them at "She Loves" because the shop will have the clothes adjusted, free of charge - I should add. There's also a range of chic accessories such as clutch purses and belts.

作为一家时尚商店，它出售一系列女装，专门设计服装和女衬衫。虽然他们不是定制的衣服，但顾客几乎总能找到一套适合他们的衣服，因为商店会把衣服调整好，免费——我应该补充一下，还有一系列时髦的配饰，比如手包和腰带。

If I'm not mistaken, "She Loves" has been up and running for 2 years. What I find impressive about the shop is that within such a short period of time, its sales figures have soared and its business profile has been enhanced significantly. Its Facebook has at least 350.000 followers and there are hundreds of orders per month from different areas in the country. What's more, the shop's always packed with people shopping or browsing.

如果我没记错的话，“她爱”已经启动并运行了2年。我对这家商店印象深刻的是，在如此短的时间内，它的销售数字大幅上升，其业务状况也得到了显著改善。它的Facebook至少有350.000名关注者，每个月有数百个来自不同地区的订单。更重要的是，商店里总是挤满了购物或浏览的人。

I knew about the shop by random, seeing its banner ad when surfing the net. Captivated by the dresses advertised, I clicked on the ad and have visited its website at least once a week out of a habit since then. Also, I drop by the physical store more than twice a month, especially when there are new arrivals.

我随意地知道这家商店，在网上看到它的横幅广告。我被广告上的裙子迷住了，我点击了广告，从那以后，每周至少访问一次它的网站。此外，我每月都会在实体店购物超过两次，尤其是在新到的时候。

If I had to give an explanation for my liking for the shop, I'd definitely say that I'm really content with the various products, plus the enthusiasm of the staff there. Despite being a family business, to my surprise, the shop operates really professionally. Besides, as it's a clicks-and-motar business, I can conveniently do the shopping right at home. "She loves" is surely always on the list of my favorite boutiques.

如果我必须解释一下我对这家商店的喜爱，我肯定会说，我对各种各样的产品都很满意，再加上那里员工的热情。尽管我是家族企业，但令我惊讶的是，这家店的运作非常专业。此外，由于这是一个“点击”和“motar”的业务，我可以方便地在家里进行购物。“她爱”肯定总是在我最喜欢的精品店的名单上。
