2. Do you prefer to live in a place where there’s more sunshine or less?

你喜欢生活在阳光充沛还是稀少的地方

I would obviously choose to live in a place with a lot of sunshine. It’s not to say that I don’t like places where it’s dark or gloomy most of the time. I wouldn’t mind visiting them for a change but to live in those places, I don’t think so.

3.Do you think there are any dangers from sunshine?

晒太阳会有啥危害性

Well, as far as I’m aware, too much exposure to the sun can do some certain damage to the skin and it can even cause skin cancer. And also, even though I love sunshine, I try to avoid being in direct sunlight for too long, otherwise I’ll feel dizzy or dehydrated.

4. What benefits can we get from the sun?

There are lots of benefits we can get from the sun. The most obvious benefit is life itself. Without sunshine, there would be no life on Earth.

5. Do you like going outside on sunny days?

晴天喜欢外出么

I love hanging out in parks and other open spaces when it’s sunny. This kind of weather is ideal for outdoor activities so I rarely stay inside on sunny days. If I do, I’ll feel like I’m missing out on something.

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.

3. Do we have to be punished if we don’t follow the law?

是的：

如果违反了法律，却没有受到任何惩罚，那么法律就失去了意义。人们因此会不顾法律的存在。

If someone violate the law without being punished, the existence of law will be defeated. In the long run, people will lose their faith in the legal system and do whatever they like according to their own will.

也是对潜在犯罪分子最好的震慑

It is also the best way to deter the potential criminals.

最好的修正错误的方法。

To correct the mistakes and be prevented from re-commit the crime.

对于受害者最好的抚慰

Solace the victims/

看情况：

年龄/动机

It depends on many factors, including age and motivation.

For some teenager criminals, who do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and cannot be fully aware of their own behaviour, they should be punished in a more gentle way, such as being sent to some educational courses or forced to participate in community services, instead of being sent to jail.

Also, if those who commit crime on the condition of being violated or being threatened with death, they should not be punished or at least the penalty should be reduced.

法律的社会效应：在某些特殊的案件中，需要考虑到时间的社会影响和相关历史背景

Sometimes, we have to take into consideration the particular historical background and social impart of some cases, especially those relating to politics and wars. It is every sensitive and complicated to make a sound judgement of who should be punished and how they should be punished. So probably, in order to maintain the stability of the society and reduce the chain effect of some events, people involving in the case can be treated lightly.

4. What’s the difference between a police officer and a lawyer?

都是法律系统中重要的两种职业。

Both police officers and lawyers are very important parts of the legal system.

警察：

抓坏人/嫌疑人、获取证据、社会公务员、价值中立

The police officers are in charge of arresting the suspect and keep the social order/ deal with emergencies and fight against social evils

They also have the responsibility of collecting the evidence in the case.

They are part of the civil service system, so they are directed work for the government, for the society and for the people. They must keep value neutrality, that is to say, they should keep as objective as they can.

律师：

一种职业、为自己的客户辩护，最大限度维护其权益

Lawyers, broadly speaking, are a specific type of profession. They are only the representative of their client, so no matter whom they represent in court, they have to try their best to maximize the profits of their client and try to reduce the punishment of the defendant.

In this sense, they are less value neutral than the police officer, but they have more decisive role to play on the final judge of each case.

雅思口语安静的地方话题

Describe a place that is quiet

1. Are there many quiet places in your city? 你的城市里有许多安静的地方吗?

Well, quite a few. As I know. There are several cosy spa treatment zones where people can take a break from a constant stream of noises, feelings, thoughts and vibes which don't belong to them. There are botanical gardens and remote corners of parks which help people slow down, catch a deep breath and set their minds straight. There are public libraries, museums, art galleries and a planetarium which help people reboot their brain and unwind. And, of course, there is a good deal of small quiet cafes which help people rid their minds of negative and unnecessary thoughts, and just a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of delicious cake. So, there are quite enough quiet places in my city.

2. Why do people sometimes prefer to be alone? 为什么人们有时更喜欢独处?

Oh, I guess, first of all, because they need to reboot their brain and unwind from time to time. There is too much noise and communication in people's everyday lives these days and sometimes all of them need time just for themselves, time to think about their past actions and behaviour or think through every action they are about to take, time to discover themselves and find their own voice. Sometimes people need solitude to improve concentration and increase productivity or work through problems more effectively cutting off any dependance on how others can affect their state of mind and decision-making. I guess these are the main reasons.

3. Is there much noise around your home? 你家附近有很多噪音吗?

Well, fortunately, 'no' as I live in a very quiet area with quite few people around. There are no industrial facilities or machinery in my neighbourhood, so the worst noise around my home is either barking dogs of my neighbours or the noise from air conditioning equipment. Though, from time to time I can also hear squealing brakes of passing cars but it is the exception rather than the rule, thank god.

4. Does this noise affect you in any way? 这种噪音对你有任何影响吗?

Well, I am pretty tolerant to noises and just try to tune out whenever I hear them. So, noises which I usually hear in my area don't make me nervous or stressed. Though, there are some kinds of noise I am very sensitive to. I mean some special noises like scraping chalk or nails on a board or persistent knocks on the door. They immediately distract my attention from what I am doing and make me very irritated. I also can't stand loud snoring and intermittent noises that repeat.

5. How do you think noise in cities could be reduced? 你认为城市里的噪音是如何减少的?

Oh, I guess there is a list of 'noise off solutions and large-scale steps that could be taken by cities all around the world. One of them is to lower the speed limit in the inner parts of the city to 40 km/hour. It will not only provide a quieter atmosphere in the city but also reduce pollution and traffic accidents. One more important step that should be taken is to pave roads with noise dampening asphalt, and if it doesn't change the situation significantly reduce traffic volume in the most crowded areas. I would also offer to plant 'noise buffers' composed of trees and shrubs everywhere and especially in busy and create quiet areas and zones in parks, squares and other recreational areas around the city to provide people with special places for relaxation and energy reboot.

6. Is there any place that is absolutely quiet? 有什么地方是绝对安静的吗?

Oh, I don't think so, to my regret. I guess it's hard to find havens where silence still rules. When I try to find one, it always turns out that finding unsullied locations is more difficult than it might seem 'cause humanity's noises are always with us in one form or another.

雅思口语An interesting magazine话题

Describe an interesting magazine. You should say:

what magazine it is

what the magazine is about

how often you read it

and explain why you like to read it.

常见误区：

对于part2的话题，大家习惯性的答题方法是两句话总结cue card的上的问题，然后将问题的答案进行一次又一次的重复，因为每个问题其实都没有得到深度的解答，因此，建议同学们将四个问题认真分析，把两分钟的演讲按照提示问题分成四个三十秒钟的回答，这样的答案结构清晰，易于考官理解，并且每个问题因为有三十秒的限制，都能够得到较为详尽的解释，给考官信息量丰富的感觉。

答题思路：

第一点，选题。在选题方面有一个原则即 don’t step out of your comfort zone，翻译成中文是不要走出舒适区，这句话的意思是要求同学们谈论自己熟悉的，了解的题材，而非从网络或者书上借来的内容，越和你自己生活相关，你在谈论的时候也会更有信心，答出的细节也会更多更真实。常见的杂志可分为时尚类，体育类，政治类，历史类，经济类，新闻类等等，选择你喜欢的领域。

第二点，根据话题卡确定答题结构，根据本题要求，给出大家一个样本供参考：a.杂志名称+它的titles，例如是全国最受欢迎杂志，在2014年卖出多少份等等，把它说的厉害一点b.杂志内容+举例，通常内容涵盖好多方面，大家可以拿出一个方面细说c.你看杂志的频率+理由，为什么看的那么频繁或者不频繁，给出原因d.为什么喜欢看 ，讲出理由收尾即可。

表达解析：

When it comes to this topic, I would like to talk about开头句be published发表continuously持续地不间断地first issue第一版edition版本global circulation全球发行量distinctive features特点extensive大量的，广阔的dramatic戏剧性的夸张的never fail to do做某事从未失败catch one’s attention吸引某人 endangered species, global warming and environmental issues濒危物种，全球变暖，环境问题feel close to…对...感觉亲近be born and raised+地点在某地土生土长 When it comes to this topic, I would like to talk about a magazine named National Geographic, it has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888. This magazine is circulated worldwide in nearly 40 local-language editions and had a global circulation of 6.8 million per month.

This magazine contains articles about geography, history and world culture. There are two distinctive features about it, the first thing is its extensive use of dramatic photographs, when people open it, the colourful pictures of rivers, mountains and animals never fail to catch their attention. The secondly thing would be the topics it has, most of the articles are about important issues like endangered species, global warming and environmental issues, more and more people have known a lot about our planet and its’ main challenge through reading it. I read it not often, maybe about once a month, for the reason that I’m buried in my homework for the most of the time, also that I prefer to read it in English, and there are many words that I need to look up, so it takes me a long time to read it. I love reading it mainly because I love to feel close to nature, for someone like me who was born and raised in the city, I seldom have the chance to go to a forest or climb a mountain, so reading National Geographic is a good way for me to know more about about our beautiful mother planet.
