雅思口语Law话题

1. Do you think it is necessary to create a law?

有必要：

存在即是合理，人类发展已经证明

The development of human race has already proved that a proper and sound legal system is required to maintain social security and it is the best symbol of a modern society.

约束行为，维护社会秩序，惩罚恶人，震慑潜在犯罪分子，维护社会公正，促进社会和谐发展

If there is no deterrent force of laws and regulations, inevitably, the whole society will become chaotic or disorderly.

If every individual acts without considering other’s feeling, there will be much trouble, because the basic right of others can be easily violated and no one can be protected from doing so.

The social order can only be kept through well-rounded legal system.

The legal system is also contributing to the social justice and a more healthy society in the long run.

没有必要：

如果人们足够自律和受教育，可以很好的控制自己，则不需要法律来过分约束，当然，这是需要在人类发展到一定程度才可能实现的。

If most people are fully self-disciplined and well-educated, they can take full charge of their own behaviour and control themselves even in extreme conditions. In this sense, there is no need to establish strict laws and punishment to guide people’s behaviour. Well, this can only be achieved when human beings develop into a very advanced level, not in the present-day society.

2. Do you think the law is fair?

不公平：

有钱人的游戏。很多案子最后的判决，不是完全由事实决定的，而是根据双方在法庭上相互辩驳，证据的收集和呈现方式决定的。通常，只有富人可以请到最优秀的律师，收集最全面的对自己有利的证据，所以，往往是有钱人最终获得胜利。

I don't think law is fair in most cases. It is even sometimes described as the game of the rich people. This is mainly because the final judgment of a case is largely determined by the process of trial, in which lawyer and judge play an indispensable role. The truth is that only the more wealthy side of the case can have the financial power to hire the most experienced and well-known lawyer and it is very likely that they also have a very good relationship with the judge. I’m not saying that the final judgment is wrong, but it is conceivable that the richer can have more advantages in the case.

政府在制定【introduce/ devise】法律时，都是以政府的/当权者/大多数人的利益【interest】为出发点。所以，不可避免在一些特殊情况，会损害到少部分人的意见。

When each law is introduced in the first place, they are devised to maximize the profit of the authorities and the majority of the citizens. So, in some situations, the profit of the minority may be damaged. Also, it is almost impossible to create a perfect law that can meet the requirement of each social class. At least, it has not been created until now.

公平：

法律的制定和实施不是一两个人决定的，而是一个国家在这方面最权威有经验的专家根据综合考虑制定的，并且随着社会发展在不断完善改进。

The creation and implementation of a law has never been decided by only a few people, but it is done by a large number of experts and specialists in this field, with every respects taken into consideration. Besides, with the enforcement of the law, it is also being revised and more cases can be referred when the court judge the situation.

即使初始的时候不够全面，也会逐渐修正，总体而言是公平的。

Even if it was not justice and perfect when first initiated, it can be gradually modified and generally speaking, it can be regarded as a fair system.

雅思口语阅读话题

What kinds of books do you like to read?

I'd say I like reading quite a variety of books, both fiction as well as nonfiction. So for example, I'm a big fan of detective novels, because I enjoy trying to solve the crimes while I'm reading, although I have to admit I'm pretty useless at it most of the time! And as for nonfiction stuff, I'd say I mostly like reading things like self-help books and biographies of various people I admire, such as the new book on Steve Jobs, which I'm currently in the middle of reading.

我想说我喜欢阅读各种各样的书，既有小说也有非小说类的。举个例子，我是侦探小说的忠实粉丝，因为我喜欢在读书的时候解决犯罪问题，尽管我不得不承认我大部分时间都毫无用处!至于非小说类书籍，我想说我最喜欢读自助书和各种我喜欢的人的传记，比如关于史蒂夫·乔布斯的新书，我现在正在读这本书。

Are you reading any books at the moment?

Yeah, I'm actually halfway through a couple of books right now. One of them's a novel which a friend of mine lent me, and the other is a book on business, which I bought about a year ago, but didn't get round to reading until now.

是的，我实际上已经读过几本书了。其中一本是我的一个朋友借给我的小说，另一本是我一年前买的一本关于商业的书，但直到现在才抽出时间去看。

雅思口语Neighbors话题

1. Do you think neighbors are important?

解析：这个话题是典型的part 3重要性类型的问题。常见的提问方法为 “Do you think …is important/necessary?” 基本上是在讨论话题的必要性和重要性，当然如果讨论思路，基本上考官问是否重要，多半都是回答重要的会比较好回答。相信很多考生都比较熟悉“远亲不如近邻”这个谚语，“A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”。邻居的重要性可以在很多地方体现，比较容易想到的是可以互相帮助，在生活上会方便很多，其实良好的邻里关系也可以促进和谐的人际关系，让你每天幸福感提升。毕竟，又如中国古话说，“抬头不见低头见”, “be bound to see much of each other”.

Tip：在part 3跟考官的进一步讨论中，我们经常可能会受到文化影响，引用一些中国的谚语等，这个时候都可以用 “As the old Chinese saying goes” 引出。

Sample

Of course, that’s for sure. Cause you know you are bound to see much of each other, when you go to work or when you get back home, or in the lift and so on. They can provide you with some immediate help. Just as the traditional Chinese saying goes, “A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”. Besides, a healthy, strong relationship can enhance your happiness of living in the community.

引申：

Do you think it’s are important to have a good relationship with one’s neighbors?

这题与上面的题目类似，甚至可以说重复，但是如果考官考察到了，我们可以选择上面以说道理为主，下面以举实例为主的方式，又或者采取两者结合，给出一个相对比较完整丰富的答案。

Sample

Yes, absolutely. For example, when you go for a work trip, and you can ask your neighbor to take care of your pet or to watch out your house for you occasionally. You know, crimes like burglars or robbery can be greatly reduced through a helpful neighbor. So it’s really practical to have a good relationship with your neighbors.

2. Do you think people’s relationships with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?

解析：part 3典型的对比类题目。讨论邻里关系变化。类似的题目还有

How do you think the neighbor relationship has changed in China in recent years?

Do you think it’s common in China to not know each other’s neighbors?

Sample

Maybe not. You know in the past, most Chinese people live in a big yard, they share some public facilities, send each other homemade food, visit each others’ home all the time, it’s like they are a big family. However, nowadays, most of the people live in apartments, and they shut the door after work. It’s common in China right now to not know your neighbors at all. They are already totally different.

3. Why do you think is that?/ What are the reasons behind that?

解析：讨论人际关系变淡的原因。除了上文中提到的客观原因，比如现在居住的环境变化，人们生活水平提高，不再共同享用公共设施以外，这里可以从人的角度去讨论，现在大家都很忙，压力很大，没有时间去跟邻居社交，另外现代人普遍对于陌生人会比较警惕，冷漠，缺乏信任。

Sample

Well, there are many factors for that. You know, modern people are all busy with their life and suffer from a lot of stress. So they don’t want to still suffer from the pressure of socializing after work. There is no doubt to say that modern people tend to be very indifferent towards others. They couldn’t trust others easily.

4. What are the benefits of belonging to a community?

解析：这个话题是有一定难度的。Belong to a community这个概念很多中国考生并没有那么熟悉。其实我们就可以简单理解为，作为你自己生活小区的一员，有归属感，遇到问题，可以得到小区其他成员的帮助，并且大家可以通过共同的努力去完成一些事情。

Sample

There are plenty of them. For one thing, you can experience the sense of security. You, as part of the community, there is a whole group of people behind your back. If you come across some problems, they will help you like your friends and families. More importantly, belonging to a community can help you, with others together contribute to it, making a better community. You know, when you are actually living in a community, there are a lot of things couldn’t be done by one single person. If you are really part of it, you would really want it better.
