Describe a time you forgot something important.

You should say:

what it was

when you forgot it

what was the consequence

and explain why it was important to you.

Generally I have a very good memory, you might even call it photographic. I’m very good at remembering random facts, so I’m a useful person to have around at a pub quiz. However, once in a while my memory can let me down and one of the most important times was when I forgot my girlfriend’s birthday.

It was a few years ago, when we were both at university. I woke up one morning and sent her a message, as usual, but she didn’t reply. I kept trying to contact her again and again, but she still wouldn’t respond. I began to get worried, so I went to where she was staying and her friends told me she didn’t want to see me. Suddenly it hit me! It had completely slipped my mind that it was her birthday. We had only been going out for a few months and we were both busy with our studies so I guess it just hadn’t really occurred to me.

Needless to say she was not a happy bunny. I went out and bought her a big bunch of flowers and some chocolates and begged her to forgive me. I was in the dog house for a few days, but eventually the dust settled and things got back to normal.

In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t very important, we were both young and in the early stages of our relationship. But it meant a lot to my girlfriend and the whole incident made me more diligent when it comes to our relationship. I’ve certainly never forgotten a birthday since!

雅思口语匆忙时刻话题

1. When was the last time you did something in a hurry?

Um… when was it?...Let me have a think…I guess it was probably um… a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday, and I had booked a taxi to arrive at the place where I was staying, at about noon-ish, and I still had some clearing up to do, you know, I didn’t want to leave the place in a mess. So yeah, I was basically in a hurry tidying everything up and getting all my things packed before the taxi arrived.

嗯……什么时候?……让我想想……我想大概是……几个星期前，当我度假时，我预订了一辆出租车去我住的地方，大约中午时分，我还有一些清理工作要做，你知道，我不想把地方弄得一团糟。是的，我基本上很匆忙整理一切，在出租车到来之前把所有东西收拾好。

2. Do you like to finish things quickly?

Yeah I do, cos I really don’t like things to hang over me, you know, it’s just not a nice feeling when you’ve got stuff to do hanging at the back of your mind. So I like to get stuff done as quickly as I can,but saying that, I still want to do it well of course! I mean, I’m not gonna do something haphazardly just to get it done quickly, I still wanna make sure I do it well!

是的，我喜欢，因为我真的不喜欢事情缠着我，你知道，当你有事情要做的时候，这种感觉并不好。所以我喜欢尽可能快地把事情做完，但是说，我还是想把它做好!我的意思是，我不会随便做一些事情，只是为了尽快完成，我仍然想确保我做得很好。

3. What kinds of things do you never do in a hurry?

It’s an interesting question!... I’ve never really thought about that one! What kinds of things will I never do in a hurry?...um… I suppose things I would never do in a hurry would be important things, like coursework which counts towards my final grade, and what else?...I’m kind of hard pressed to think! Um… oh yeah, getting to the airport to catch a flight! You know, I’ll always give myself lots of time to get there, even if it means I arrive at the airport several hours in advance, cos it just gives me peace of mind. I mean, if you miss a flight, then your holiday’s probably gone down the drain, so it can be pretty disastrous!

这是个有趣的问题!…我从来没有真正想过那个!什么事我都不会匆忙去做?……嗯……我想我永远不会匆忙做的事会是很重要的事情，比如课程作业，它关系到我的期末成绩，还有什么别的?…我有点难以思考!嗯……哦，是的，到机场赶飞机!你知道，我总是给自己很多时间去那里，即使这意味着我提前几个小时到达机场，因为这样让我心情平静。我的意思是，如果你错过了一个航班，那么你的假期可能会被耗尽，所以它可能是相当灾难性的!

4. Why do people make mistakes more easily when they are in a hurry?

Um… well thinking about it, I suppose it’s simply because when people are in a hurry, they’re not really thinking clearly. You know, their mind’s kind of um.. how can I put it… I guess you could say flustered, thinking about lots of things at the same time, and not really being focused. So in that state of mind, I think you’d agree it’s easy to overlook things, especially small details, which will likely lead to mistakes being made!

嗯…好好想想，我想这只是因为当人们匆匆忙忙的时候，他们并没有很清楚地思考。你知道，他们的头脑是这样的…我怎么说呢……我想你可以说慌乱，同时想很多事情，却没有真正专注。所以，在这种心态下，我认为你会同意很容易忽略一些事情，尤其是小细节，这可能导致犯错误!

雅思口语老师话题

1. Do you have a favourite teacher?

Um… Yeah, I suppose I do, but it’s actually kind of hard to pick out a favourite because I’ve been really lucky with all my teachers. You know, they’ve been really great, at least most of them anyway, but I guess my favourite teacher would have to be my Chinese language teacher, because she was incredible. I mean, the amount of effort she put into her teaching, and her attention to detail, were just amazing. And not only that, but she also showed a genuine care for all of us, which left a really deep impression on me. So yeah, out of all my teachers, I’d say she was probably my favourite.

嗯……是的，我想我喜欢，但实际上很难挑出最喜欢的，因为我和我的所有老师都很幸运。你知道，他们真的很棒，至少大部分都很棒，但是我想我最喜欢的老师一定是我的语文老师，因为她太不可思议了。我的意思是，她在教学中所付出的努力，以及对细节的关注，都是令人惊叹的。不仅如此，她还表现出对我们所有人的真诚关怀，这给我留下了很深的印象。是的，在我所有的老师中，我想她可能是我的最爱。

2. What kinds of teachers do you like?

I guess…. um…first of all, teachers who are passionate about their subject, because you know, if they show enthusiasm for what they’re teaching, I’m much more likely to get interested in that subject and do well in it. And as well as this, I also like teachers that are supportive and…what’s the word….approachable. So in other words, teachers that show patience and understanding, and are there for you if you need help.

我猜…嗯……首先，老师们对他们的课程充满热情，因为你知道，如果他们对他们正在教的东西表现出热情，我更有可能对这门课程感兴趣，并且学得很好。除此之外，我还喜欢那些支持我的老师……这个词……平易近人。换句话说，那些表现出耐心和理解的老师，如果你需要帮助，他们就在你身边。

3. What are the qualities of a good teacher?

Um…. I guess the best way to answer this would be to think of some of the good teachers I’ve had at school and university. So please hang on just a second while I have a quick think about it…..! Ok, well the good teachers I’ve had have shown a genuine care for their students. You know, they genuinely want their students to learn and develop. It’s not just simply a job to them. So yeah I think that’s the most important thing – taking their job seriously and really caring about their students’ development.

嗯…我想回答这个问题的最好办法是想想我在学校和大学里学过的一些好老师。所以请稍等片刻，我有一个快速的思考。好吧，我曾经的好老师对他们的学生表现出真诚的关心。你知道，他们真的希望他们的学生学习和发展。对他们来说，这不仅仅是一份工作。所以，我认为最重要的是——认真对待他们的工作，真正关心学生的发展。

雅思口语手工艺品话题

1. Do you like making things by hand?

【If yes:】

Yeah I do. I find it quite fun making stuff by hand. You know, it kind of brings a certain amount of satisfaction once you’ve finished it, and you think “Wow! I made that!” So yeah, I enjoy making things quite a lot.

【如果是】：

是的。我觉得手工制作东西很有趣。你知道，一旦你完成了它，它会带来一定的满足感，你会想：“哇!我做到了!“是的，我喜欢制作很多东西。

【if no:】

No, not particularly, because I’ve actually always found it to be a pretty frustrating experience. You know, something invariably goes wrong whenever I try to make something, so now I can never usually be bothered.

【如果没有：】

不，不特别，因为我一直觉得这是一个非常令人沮丧的经历。你知道，每当我尝试制造某物时，总有一些东西出了问题，所以现在我再也不会被打扰了。

2. Do you like collecting things made by hand?

No, I can’t say I do. I mean, I’ve never really made the effort to collect anything made by hand. So it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just never been something that I’ve had the urge to do really!

不，我不能这么说。我的意思是，我从来没有真正努力收集任何手工制作的东西。这并不是说我不喜欢它，它从来就不是我渴望做的事情。

3. Did you ever take handicraft lessons at school?

No, I never did, which I suppose is a bit of a pity, cos I imagine they would have been quite fun. But my classes were unfortunately limited to just the typical subjects that most schools offer, like Maths, Physics, Geography, those kinds of things.

不，我从来没有这样做，我想这有点可惜，因为我想他们会很有趣。但不幸的是，我的课只限于大多数学校提供的典型科目，比如数学、物理、地理，诸如此类

4. Are handicrafts popular in China?

Yeah, I’d say they are, because we have certain handicrafts which are….um… how can I put it,…which are closely tied with our culture, such as paper cutting, which goes back hundreds of years in China, if not thousands. But I suppose it’s also fair to say that handicrafts have become a bit less popular in modern times, simply because of all the technology that’s crept into our lives!

是的，我想说是，因为我们有一些手工艺品……嗯……我怎么说呢……它们和我们的文化紧密相连，比如剪纸，在中国可以追溯到几百年前，如果不是几千年的话。但我想说手工艺品在现代变得不那么流行也是公平的，仅仅因为所有潜入我们生活的技术!

5. Do you think children should learn more about handicrafts?

Yeah I’d say they definitely should, because first of all it’s fun, and children tend to learn more when they’re having fun. And I think it would also make them appreciate things more. You know, when you realize all the effort that goes into making something, you kind of appreciate it more. So yeah, I think it’s very beneficial for children to learn more about handicrafts.

是的，我认为他们绝对应该，因为首先，这很有趣，孩子们在玩的时候会学到更多的东西。我认为这也会让他们更加欣赏事物。你知道，当你意识到做某事的所有努力时，你会更加感激它。所以，我认为孩子们更多地了解手工艺品是非常有益的。
