雅思口语音乐话题

雅思口语音乐话题

Song作为雅思口语的一个基本话题，在Part 1和Part 2都是经常露脸。之前应经考过童年时代听过的歌曲，对你有特殊意义的歌曲，你喜欢的歌曲等等。

1. Do you like music? Why / why not?

2. What kind of music do you listen to? Why?

3. Has the music that you listen to changed since you were young?

4. Do you think older and younger generations prefer different types of music?

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.

3. Of course I do. Logically people from different generation will have taste variation. Depending upon the maturity, music stars of their own age, impact of globalization as well as technological development in music industry will divide younger and older generation.

4. I’m a big fan of classical music … it doesn’t make me very popular with my children … their taste in music is completely different … they always want to listen to their favourite rock bands …

5. No I don’t … I’ve always wished I’d taken up a musical instrument … I’d love to be able to play the guitar … but I think I’m a bit tone deaf so perhaps I’d find it hard …

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Childhood话题

1. Why do some adults miss their childhoods?

这道题的答案应该会比较常规，大家都能想到：

1】童年无忧无虑【但是得注意展开，举例说明如何地无忧无虑，建议和现在的担忧和焦虑进行对比 】

2】童年总是有很多美好的故事，比如礼物，玩游戏，这些成年后都不太发生了

其他的理由可以深入讲解的有：

1】大人的世界人际关系太复杂，很多人越来越冷漠和疏远indifferent and estranged，很多假象 artificial things , dishonest people让人很疲惫

2】大人需要承担太多的责任，比如家庭，父母，子女，have to tolerate

注意：

这道题比较常规，可以往有建设性或比较深刻的方面说

One apparent reason is that childhood is so carefree. 【展开】All children have to do is studying and having fun, nothing else. I remember my childhood memory was all about a park and several fellows playing until very late.【拿自己的童年举例证明】However, there are so many worries in adulthood, people rarely feel totally relieved. There is fast pace of life 【快节奏的生活】，endless to-do list 【完不成的代办清单，这是个比较形象的说法】,and the toughest thing is that you have no where to hide for a moment; you need to be confronted with it, pretending you are positive and strong. 【必须面对还得显得很好，说得悲观了点，不过也是如此】

Another thing is that adult life is very sophisticated, I mean the way people get along with each other. It’s very tiring to deal with the people you are not into … 关于人际关系的陈述，而小孩的世界则是直接表达爱恨。

2. In general, do children in China enjoy their childhoods?

大体上讲，中国小孩的童年应该是不够幸福的，尤其是和发达国家比的话。【参考答案部分以此展开】

但也不能一概而论，对于问中国的情况或现象的一类题，我们很多时候可以分情况讨论。比如发达城市的小孩，还是很幸福的，特别是和欠发达国家比的话。但是广大农村的小孩，还需要帮助家里做工，有些甚至不能正常上学。

Generally, Chinese children are not very happy, especially compared with children in some developed countries, as I know. I say so because children here have very heavy class loads since very little, not from the compulsory classes, mainly through the extra courses out of school.【主要是补习班】后文解释这个现象。Parents are afraid that their children are lagged behind and always want children to be the top students. 可以举例来说，比如家里的nephew, 小小年龄就很忙。

One more important reason is that 【这点比较深刻一些，就是中国家长的态度问题，不够尊重小孩，有时控制小孩，或者认为成绩好是唯一评判标准，使得很多小孩从小就不太自信】Parents in China sometimes don’t have the right attitude toward kids. They don’t respect them very well and neither do they give children enough freedom. They impose their expectations on kids and even only regard good scores as the only criteria of a good kid… 可以举一些认识的例子。

3. What do children like to do in China?

问中国的情况或现象的一类问题。建议思路是：先说generally, 即大体上，普遍上的情况。【如果合适，可以和老外熟知的西方发达国家进行一些对比，会更有说服力。】然后说 but there are people who…

当然某些题目也可以直接分情况讨论，比如本题可以就城市小孩和农村小孩进行展开，这样思路会开阔一些。

除了直接回答客观的情况以外，也可以说说自己主观的看法，即你认为是积极的还是消极的，你觉得该怎么样。

As all kids, Chinese kids would spend a lot of time watching cartoons and playing computer games nowadays. 【细节和例子展开】I know so many kids are very keen on the games on iPad and they can spend the whole day on it. 【自己的例子】And my childhood was mostly about watching cartoons. 【主观看法】Well, but actually I don’t think it’s very advisable.【合理的靠谱的】 Childhood should be spent on 【被动】more meaningful things like cultivating a hobby, reading books, etc.

Moreover, kids nowadays have fun alone, which I think really negative.

4. Do you think there are benefits for children to play computer games?

电子游戏的利弊是一个很重要的素材，而这道题是针对小孩，且不问弊端，只问好处。可以想得简单一些：

1】好处可以as simply as having a delightful time【为开心】电子游戏高科技是给了我们很多享受的，这点必须承认。

2】在电子游戏中也可以由竞争合作意识，和其他的伙伴建立良好关系，还能树立自信

3】有可能会arouse their interest in technology, possibly, 小孩接触高科技确实有可能让他们对科学产生兴趣，如果很赞同这一点，可以用具体名人展开

Certainly, there are, despite many negative things about that.

1】 快乐对童年是最重要的事 Firstly, it brings children so much delight, without doubt, which I think is the most crucial part of childhood. Being happy can make kids grow positively and love life.

2】 Moreover, some games can cultivate some abilities like cooperating with others. There are many games requiring communicating and cooperation. Once they beat the rivals, they can also build some confidence, for sure.

3】 Well, and there’s the likelihood that 【有这样的可能性】，high-tech games can arouse kids’ interest in science… 这一点可以举一个人的例子说明。

雅思口语Friends话题

1. Do you think friends are important?

解题思路：

朋友这个大话题的论述在人物题的话题卡中出现频率也是不低的，所以第三部分中对于朋友相关的问题也是比较普遍的。

对于这道题的回答是朋友当然非常重要。没有朋友大多数时间【much of the time 】我们都会很孤独，虽然有的时候一个人也是很自在的【it’s nice to be left alone】， 这里对于nice替换可以有brilliant, fantastic等一类的词语。 但是无人交谈【have no one to talk to】也是很可怕的。有了朋友我们可以有相同的爱好【similar interests】，聊聊我们的人生，分享自己的经历【share experiences】。朋友应该是被紧紧抓住的【Friends should be held close】，因为他们是我们能拥有的最有价值的东西【the most valuable things】。一个真正的朋友就是在你最需要他们的时候总在你身边。一帮好朋友就和家人一样。

这道题在回答的时候需要注意的是把朋友作为一个大范围来进行论述或举例，最好不要讲个例，比如说：I，myself这样的概念或范围引入题目的回答中。因为毕竟第三部分的题目范围不会太小，除非考官问到你个人的具体内容。

参考答案：

Of course friends are important! Without friends we would be lonely much of the time, and although sometimes it’s nice to be left alone, it would be horrible to have no one to talk to. With friends we can enjoy similar interests, talk about our lives and share experiences. Friends should be held close, because they’re some of the most valuable things we can have. A true friend will always be there for you when you need them most. A strong group of friends is as good as, if not better than, a family.

2. Do you prefer to have one or two close friends or a wide circle of friends?

解题思路：

这道题虽然是第三部分的题目，但是问的个人的观点，所以可以表明个人的观点及态度。

我有广泛的兴趣爱好【a wide range of interests】，所以我认为有很多朋友挺好的，因为我总可以找到我想要交谈的人。但是说实话，有一两个密友会更好，因为这些朋友是可以当回事儿的。亲近的朋友不顾任何困难都会在你身边，这里我们可以用through thick and thin表达不顾任何困难的意思，与熟人或认识的人【acquaintance】相比，你可以跟他们说更私人的事情【personal issues】。这么多年有过很多，很多朋友，但是大多数都已失去了联系。只有少数几个人一直是我朋友，我认为这才是真正友谊的标志【the mark of true friendship】。

这道题需要注意的是在题目中首先要明白a wide circle of friends的意思，表示大量的，很多的朋友，然后以自己的想法和态度对于有一两个密友【one or two close friends】和很多的朋友【a wide circle of friends】这个比较宽泛的概念进行论述。因为题目问到个人，所以可以出现表示个人的词语，观点及例子。

参考答案：

I have a wide range of interests, so I think it’s good to have a wide circle of friends because that way I’m always able to find someone who I can talk to about something. To be honest though, it’s much better to have one or two close friends because those are the friends that count. Close friends will always stick by you through thick and thin, and you can talk about more personal issues than you can with mere acquaintances. I’ve had many, many friends over the years but I’ve lost touch with most of them. Only a few have been my friends the whole time, and I think that’s the mark of true friendship.

3. What do you think is the difference between a “close friend” and a “best friend”?

解题思路：

这道问题其实比较难回答，因为大家很少考虑过“close friend” 和 “best friend”的区别。有一些人把重要的意义【great significance】 贴到了“best friend”的名号上。就个人而言，我认为没有一个单个的人可以被当作是“最好的”或者比其他人好的朋友。由于其他的朋友们没有能被冠以这样的名号，有的时候就会让他们感觉到自己在你面前低位很低【feel inferior】。最好的朋友这个想法是好的，这就意味着这个人你要绝对信任【absolutely trust】，已经了解了很长时间并且要相处的很好。这样一段特殊的关系对双方都意味的很多。

这道题在回答时首先要理清自己的思路，到底要以什么方式去阐述“close friend” 和 “best friend”的区别。对于答题的切入点要明确，比如：怎样的朋友算是“best friend”，需要具备什么样的条件及素质等等。另外，对于所具备的条件和素质的内容，如果在没有充分准备时间的情况下，选择自己会说的能成为好朋友的内容即可，如： trust, know well, kindness等等。

参考答案：

Some people attach great significance to the title of “best friend”. Personally, I don’t think it’s possible to single one person out as the “best” and better than other friends. Sometimes it makes your other friends feel inferior because they are not given this title. The idea of a best friend is a good one though: it means someone who you absolutely trust, have known for a long time and get along with very well. It’s a special relationship that means a lot to both people.

4. How can one distinguish between a close friend and an acquaintance?

解题思路：

对于“a close friend”和“ an acquaintance”之间的区别还是相对比较容易被区分的。一个熟人【acquaintance】可能是一些你喜欢与其待在一起【enjoy spending time with】或者可能和你有一些相同爱好的人，但是你们并没有足够的了解对方而成为真正的好朋友。熟人经常是我们在学校和工作时大家一起相处了较长时间的人们，你也可能比较喜欢他们，喜欢与他们在一起，但是确没有更多的超越这些的关系。密友是你可能认识了很长时间并且很了解的人。密友是你能够告诉他自己的想法及感受的人，但是这些想法和感受可能无法与熟人去分享。

这道题不算太难，但需要在论述的时候对于密友和熟人的界限划定清晰，可以通过我们对不同分类的朋友所做的不同的事情把密友和熟人区分的比较明确。另外，此题也应该以大范围的方式进行论述，最好不要涉及I的个人表达，可以用someone, you, a close friend, and acquaintances这样宽泛的表达来表述。

参考答案：

It’s easy tell the difference. An acquaintance may be someone you enjoy spending time with and probably has similar interests to you, but you don’t know enough about each other to really be good friends. Acquaintances are often made at school or work where people spend a lot of time with each other, and you probably like them and enjoy being with them but don’t have much of a relationship beyond that. A close friend is someone who you’ve maybe known for a long time and know very well. A close friend is someone you can talk to about your thoughts and feelings, but you probably wouldn’t do that with an acquaintance.
