雅思口语话题团队合作

Well ,I’d like to talk about my teamwork experience.There are four roles in my team. Student A is a shaper; Student B and student C are team-workers; Student D is an implementer; and I am a completer finisher. Completer finishers, just as its name implies, are painstaking, conscientious and used most effectively at the end of a task worked as quality controller, to search out errors and omissions, modify and polish them, and finally make sure the task delivers on time. But on the other side, completer finishers are inclined to worry unduly because of their perfectionism and have difficulty letting go and delegating work.

My role is important to teamwork guaranteeing task finished as scheduled and improving team performance to high quality. As completer finishers are always perfectionists with conscientious and disciplined characteristics, I have the capacity for follow-through and attention to detail, to spot errors and gaps and modify them for better. I do not allow any delay in task completing and think highly of punctuality. Owning to my role characteristics, I always keep an eye on the team members’ work process to recognize if task is undertaken as scheduled timetable and finished per our completion requirements. This works effectively and efficiently to make our team goal accomplished and standardized. But I also need admit that I am easily irritable and worried unduly, which might bring unnecessary air of tension to the team members and will affect their personal emotions and somewhat derail the work efficiency. For instance, when student A did not finish the scheduled task on time, I will think it was quite an irresponsible act and get quite fussed.

雅思口语App话题

1. Do you like to look for new apps or just keep using the old ones?

这道题基本有三个思路：

Look for new ones ;

use the old ones ;

keeping the old ones while looking for new ones

但是都是需要去思考新应用程式和旧应用程式的好处和坏处，再根据自己的态度来补充。

如果是喜欢找新的app，那么原因有如下：

1. 旧的app用过了，失去新鲜感don’t feel excited using old apps. 例如如果游戏APP的话里面的环节都清楚了you are familiar with what’s going on in it / know the contents清楚内容，而每个月都有很多新的app，a large number of new applications，可以有很多新鲜好玩的download them for fun，空闲的时候有更多的APP来打发时间kill time;

2. 新的APP有时候是旧app的更新it could be a new version of old apps / an upgraded version，所以内容可能更丰富，用起来界面可能更友好more user-friendly，更多特色add more features;

3. 搜索新的应用可以拿来跟旧的做比较，compare with the old Apps，从而知道最适合自己的或者最好用的版本find the best app or get the one that suits me well，方便自己的使用。

如果是喜欢用老的APP，原因可以如下：

旧的APP大部分都免费free of charge/ can be downloaded for free / don’t need to pay for them，而新的APP很多都需要收费most of new apps will charge / have to pay for them，所以不愿意下载新的;

再者，手机内存小small storage，所以没有空间再下载新的APP，there is no extra space for new applications，而且很多新的应用都很大，占用内存多occupy a lot of space;习惯了用老的get used to the old ones，所以不愿意删掉don’t want to get rid of them / remove them。

示范答案如下：

I am that kind of person who don’t like looking for new applications. It is not only because I get used to the old ones on my phone. It is also inconvenient to download new ones since the storage of my phone is quite small. I don’t have enough space for them. Besides, most of new applications would charge a small amount of fee if you want to download. So I prefer the old free ones.

2. Do you use free apps or the ones that you need to pay for?

这道题同样需要比较两种APP的优势和劣势。

如果喜欢收费软件的话，原因有：

1. 收费的APP没有广告，there would not be any advertisements/commercials popping out when you are using it，用pop out表达突然跳出来，而免费的应用可能随时都有烦人的广告跳出来很烦it’s annoying，但是又必须要忍受Have to bear with it;

2. 收费的APP往往功能更多come with more functions，画面更好看better graphics/images，音乐更好听better music等等;收费的软件也更加安全robust application security，能保证自己的信息不泄露there is guarantee that my personal date will be safe from being hacked。

如果喜欢免费的软件：

可能是因为不喜欢花钱购买程序don’t want to pay for applications，是个人的喜好personal preference，而且总能找到免费的作为收费软件的替代品you could always find alternative for those apps that charge money;而且，可以是因为用免费的软件更有灵活度，万一不喜欢可以随时删掉不心疼钱can stay flexible, when I need to delete it I just do it等等。

例如答案可以是：

I prefer to use free applications because I would like to stay flexible. When I want to delete it to release some space in my phone or I simply don’t need them, I could just do it without worrying about the money I spend on it.

3. What are the drawbacks of having too many apps on phone?

手机里有太多应用程序会有什么不好，drawback即weakness，disadvantages，

思路可以有以下几个方面：

1. APP装太多，可能导致内存空间不足there’s no enough space / not sufficient storage，没有空间存照片视频等其他内容may not save photos, videos or other contents;

2. 装太多APP会导致手机运行速度变慢slow down the phone / it takes much time to operate / it takes ages to open an app打开APP的时间会很长，而且容易死机the phone may die easily if you try to open apps;

3. APP太多不好分类，等到要使用的时候可能找不到，因为太乱了too messy，may not find the one you want to use quickly，may get lost in those app logos被APP的标志搞晕，再加上很多APP的标志很相似look similar尤其是颜色have the same color / have identical color，所以很容易认不出来想用的那个may not recognize the app you need;

4. 还可以从浪费时间这个方向来答，因为APP很多都是和娱乐entertainment /leisure有关的，有很多也是游戏，所以下载太多可能会是个让人分心的事it is a distraction / they may distract people from working or studying，下载太多之后总是去玩，导致浪费时间it’s a waste of time / spend too much time on using apps，而且有些APP还会收费charge，下载太多也会花很多钱spend extra money。

以下是一个示范答案：

First of all, it is possible to spend too much time on using applications if people download too many. A lot of apps are games actually, which means that people may waste more time playing rather than working or studying. Besides, this can also slow down the phone, making phone easier to crash. Apart from that, having too many app logos on the phone can make it really hard to find the one you want to use. You could get lost in those logos in similar colors and shapes. So I don’t think it’s useful to have too many on the phone.

如果这道题希望能继续发散思路，则可以在讲完缺点之后给出合理建议，即怎么样避免以上情况，例如定期清理那些没用的APP，get rid of / remove /delete old apps regularly or don’t keep the old ones，或者给自己的app分类整理categorize，防止桌面过乱。

4. How much time do you spend on these apps?

这道题则直接回答多久，给出一个时间段就行：

例如2 hours a day / 3 hours per day，per代表每，还可以用no longer than…/ at least至少/ at most最多 / between… and…等短语表达大致时间段，例如I use those apps at least 1 hour per day我每天至少用一个小时;或者这道题可以回答频率frequency，例如once a day / twice a week / over five times a week。

除了给出时间之外，可以继续把思路扩充到具体最喜欢哪个APP，即介绍my favorite one is…/ the one I use the most is…

例如my favorite app is Wechat. I spend over half of time checking messages on Wechat;除此之外还可以给出原因，即为什么花这么多时间用或者为什么花这么少时间用，例如多余的时间比较多所以喜欢玩APP来打发时间I’ve got a lot of spare time, so I usually use apps to kill time，或者平时比较忙busy / time is occupied / don’t have a lot of free time，所以玩的时间很少。

以下是一个示范答案：

I use my apps once or twice a day. Each time I probably spend 20 or 30 minutes on them. This is because I am busy with my work every day and don’t have enough time to play with those apps. I could only use them for fun during lunchtime or dinnertime. That’s why I don’t spend too much time on them.

雅思口语Time management话题

Q1: Are you good at organizing time?

A1: Not really. I live a quite casual and laidback life. 【细节】 I mean, I like to follow my heart. For example, when I decide to watch a movie, I would do that immediately. Or even when I want to go traveling, I just do that without a detailed plan and I just set off in a week.

A2: I am good at organizing time and I consider it as a very important part in life. 【why】 I think our time is so limited and I’ve got loads of things to do always. I don’t want my life to be in a mess. 【how】 I like to have a to-do list and arrange my schedule. Then I do everything more efficiently.

思路：

否定的回答意味着随性，就讲讲随性的例子。

肯定的回答就讲讲具体如何规划时间和规划的重要性。

也可以先说我不太擅长，因为… 但我希望提高，因为… ,两面都提到。

词汇：

1】重点链接语句：I mean, by that I mean…我们的内容总是需要解释，一定要说得细节一些。

2】live a casual and laidback life过着随性而放松的生活。 过着什么样的生活叫做 live a … life

3】follow my heart俗称跟着感觉走

4】immediately立即

5】detailed详细的

6】time is limited时间有限

7】“有”最地道的说法是 I’ve got

8】loads of大量的 【有负担的含义】

9】in a mess混乱

10】arrange my schedule安排我的日程

11】efficient高效的

Q2: Do you think planning is important for time management?

A1: Yes, actually I think planning is the most important part of time management.【why】 Time management means that you allocate the time to different things, especially the important things or the tough things. So it is just what we do in planning! For example, if I have a really difficult and big task to do and it requires a lot of time and energy, I would think about when to do that and set deadlines.

思路：

这道题的难点在于学生会觉得很怪异，似乎太显然而无话可说。记得对于抽象的东西总是可以举例子来说。需要大家读读答案，体会那种聊天感，没有任何问题需要机械地回答，放轻松。

词汇：

1】allocate … to… 分配…给… allocate a lot of money to my clothes, allocate enough time to my homework

2】tough棘手的

3】require需要…

4】set deadline设置截止日期

语法：

1】…means that… 宾语从句，后面是句子，语法点虽小但也在口语中常用，比如Ibelieve that…

2】It is just what we do in … 那正是我们在做…的时候做的事情。

...is just what I care about. … 正是我在乎的。

名词性从句，即 what I care about整个为名词成分，翻译为我在乎的东西。

注意，口语上的语法以输出为目的，建议记忆两三个句子，然后自己尝试替换和造句。快速说出口。

Q3: Why do you think some people pay to learn time management?

A1: Well, I guess it’s just because time management is really essential for some peoplewho work under huge pressure. 【why】 They generally have very tight schedule and they also need to look after the family. The courses may give them very professional trainingand help them manage everything better.

思路：

大家被问到这种会有点懵，所以记得不要机械记忆，一定要会聊天。你的第一反应可能是，well, really? well, I guess … 那么理由自然是The paid courses can really benefit them. 你需要去讲这样的课程的好处，或者time management多么重要。

词汇：

1】 essential： 非常重要的，类似替换important的词汇还有 crucial, significant

2】 tight schedule: 形容每天很满的地道说法

3】 professional training：专业的培训

语法：

some people who… who引导的定语从句在口语中也常常出现;定语从句在口语中一定要熟练。培养先说这个名词再对它进行修饰的思维习惯。前期觉得说不顺可以写一写，多读几遍再说。稍加练习就会熟练，需要耐心。
