雅思口语话题Fruits

方便考生在备考中梳理好答题思路，帮助我们在实战中遇到该类话题能应对自如，且高质量的完成。

Do you often eat fruits?

首先，这第一类题目属于开放式问题，给出一个肯定或者否定的回答都是可以的，然后请同学们一定要马上说出理由。

常见的理由有：

maintain health保持身体健康，

keep a healthy diet维持健康的膳食,

cultivate habit养成习惯等。

其次，无论考试的时候问哪个题目，都可以在回答里加入频率相关词汇，增加细节，扩充答案。

比如：often, usually, occasionally, seldom, 或者用on a daily / weekly / monthly basis等表示频率的相关词组。

那么，我们来举个肯定回答的例子：

Yes, I do love eating fruits, and basically I eat fruits on a daily basis. The main reason of cultivating this habit is that I value my health more than anything else. Therefore, I can’t live a day without fruits.

如果有的同学想给出否定的回答，那么就需要将理由改成否定的。

例如：

I just do not have the habit of eating fruits.

我没有吃水果的习惯。

I can’t stand the smell / taste of XX.

我无法忍受某些水果的气味 / 味道。

What’s your favorite fruit?

What kind of fruit did you like to eat when you were a kid?

Are there any special fruits in your hometown?

然后是第二类题目，这一类题目的核心在于先选择一种最喜欢或者特殊的水果，再补充一个或者几个理由。

以下是一些相关的词汇：

sweet甜的;sour酸的;crispy脆的;soft / tender柔软的;bland清淡的;juicy多汁的;fragrant芬芳 / 馥郁的。

其实不需要选择非常罕见的水果，选择常见水果也是可以的。

那么下面就为大家补充一些水果种类的相关词汇：

apricot杏子;arbutus杨梅;blueberry蓝梅;plum李子;carambola杨桃; coconut椰子;cherry樱桃;citrus柑橘;cantaloupe哈密瓜;durian榴莲;haw山楂;lychee荔枝;pitaya火龙果;kiwi猕猴桃;

同样来举个例子：

Personally speaking, among all the fruits, I love kiwi the most. The most decisive reason is that the mixed flavor of sweet and sour tasted from the flesh of the kiwi is appealing to me, not to mention the rich nutrition it provides.

Do you think people should eat more fruits?

What are the benefits of eating fresh fruits?

这第三类题目，跟第二类题目有些类似，都是想让考生说出吃水果的正面原因。

下面就为同学们补充一些：

1. digest food消化食物;

2. absorb nutrition吸收营养;

3. contain substantial amount of vitamin E and C /antioxidant / mineral富含大量的维他命E和C / 抗氧化剂 / 矿物质;

4. Help me lose weight / improve my immune system帮助我减肥 / 改善免疫系统

那么最后举个例子：

Yes. The trend of having a healthy diet is flourishing in China currently. Basically, there are two main reasons. Firstly, having fruits on a regular basis helps people digest food and absorb various nutrition. Secondly, fruit contains substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial for the immune system.

雅思口语Activities near water话题

1. Why do so many people like going to places with water such as lakes, rivers or the ocean?

夏天、凉快

It is much cooler for most people if they go to places with water especially in the hot summer. It is of great fun to swim in the water or to boat on the lack. The water can absorb most of the heat wave, so people can feel much better near the water.

平静

Generally, I think water, especially the ocean can make us feel clam, because the sea is so huge and wide that we can hardly see the end of it. So we will be shocked and amazed by how magnificent the nature mother can be and come to know that how insignificant our human beings are. So we can clear our mind and forget all the disappointed and unhappy moments in life and become more tolerate and open-minded in the future.

玩水/各种有意思的活动

Take part in various kinds of water sports/ simply play with water

看到各种海洋生物

We can explore the ocean and see many interesting and creative ocean creatures through snorkelling or diving.

放松休闲

Compared with many other types of activities, such as climbing a mountain or visiting a museum, going to places like a lake or a river is much more relaxing. The only things that people need to do are to take a good seat facing the water and breathe in the fresh wind coming from away.

2. What kinds of leisure activities do people like to do in places such as on the ocean, at a beach, at a river, at a lake etc.?

海边玩的活动非常多，我们可以说一些常规的活动，比如就是玩水或者玩沙子，或者是一些比较专业的活动，比如潜水等。下面给大家一些建议：

踏浪 splash on the water

冲浪 surfing

玩沙子 playing with the sand to build creative constructs

看日出日落 enjoy the sunrise and sunset

吃东西 barbecue on the beach

日光浴 sunbath

画沙画 sand painting

收集贝壳 sea shell collection

沙滩排球 Beach Volleyball

拍照 taking pictures, especially romantic wedding style photos

游泳 swimming

水上运动 water sports/ diving/ water skiing

划船 boating

3. As a place to spend some leisure time, do you think the beach or the seaside is more suitable for children or for old people?

更适合孩子：

小孩子天生喜欢玩水，哪怕啥特别的项目也没有，就是在海边嬉戏，他们也会超级喜欢的。有很多的适合孩子自己做的事情，比如玩沙子，收集贝壳，都可以开发孩子的想象力和动手能力，对孩子未来的发展很重要。

Children just like having fun in the water, swimming or just splashing around. They can spend a whole day on the beach, chasing their peers and chasing the wave.

They can use sands to build their own palace, though which their imagination and hands-on ability will be greatly cultivated. This is very important for their future development

更适合长者：

比较休闲放松，没有剧烈的项目，可以自由的散步欣赏风景

More relaxing/ no intense exercise/ they can just walk around the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ocean.

不会有一些比如去现代城市或者等，出现的不适应或者文化冲击，海边游玩不存在太地域性的东西，所有人都能理解接受。

The ocean view is generally similar all over the globe, so older people will not suffer from cultural shock, compared with the trip to modern cities, where they may feel disoriented in the concrete jungle, and some remote villages, where the local tradition and lifestyle is so unique and distinctive to be understood.

都适合：

不同年龄的人都可以从海边的玩耍中获得很大的快乐，所欣赏的风景是一样的。

Every age group can have fun on the seaside. The island is suitable both for the younger and the older people, because the natural landscape is the same for all people.

小孩和老年的身体条件都是比较有限的，不像成年人一样能适应任何的环境，所以，海边都是适合这样的人群的。

The physical conditions of children and old people are limited, unlike adults who can easily adapt to different weather condition and climate. So travelling to seaside is a good choice for them as a more leisure way to spend the holiday.

4. Do you think children and old people do the same types of things when they go to a beach?

有一样的：轻松的活动

There are, of course, some types of activities that both younger and the older generation like to do on the beach. For example, many relaxing activities such as walking on the beach to see the ocean wave, or sitting on the sands to appreciate the beauty of nature are both welcome by each age group.

有不一样的：自我陶醉类/运动类

There are also some obvious difference between these two age groups. For example, younger people like to spend time on the seaside to just enjoy themselves. By this I mean, they will play with the water or the sand for a very long time without a clear purpose of why they want to do so. Also, they may take some adventurous activities, such as diving, as a way to show off their courage.

On the other hand, aged people may prefer just take a sunbath and have a cup of ice drinks. They may have a long conversation with their partners, exchanging ideas and memories. They may not spend a whole day playing or running on the sands, but to relax and enjoy the great view of the ocean, which in their view, may be more satisfactory and fulfilled.

雅思口语Handwriting话题

Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer?

误区：

我们一听题就会发现这是一个选择疑问句，很多同学自然会想到我就说单方面，用手写多一点，因为我是学生;或者用电脑多一点，因为我需要用电脑工作。但是老师想在这里强调一下，这个问题不同于一般疑问句，回答是或者不是那么简单。这道题目既然给你了这两种备选项，其暗含的内容其实是想让考生能够都有所涉猎，但比重是可以自行调节的。当然，在语料准备不充分的前提下，保守起见我们只回答单方面也是没有太大问题的。

思路：

在刚刚拿到这个问题的同学们一定会这样想，谁会用电脑写东西比较多呢?应该都还是用笔写字吧。其实不然，很多工作的人事基本上都可以无纸化办公paperless office, 但是我们仍然把参考答案设定成为学生视角，这样无论是学生还是工作人士，都是有共同经历的，着手准备起来也比较好操作。

当你确定了要说用手写比较多以后，举出原因和相应的例子就显得尤为关键了。比如我们要做大量的作业a huge amount of homework; 其次，我们也可以简单聊聊你都用电脑干些什么，以此来证明：一，电脑用的少，但是也在用，充分回答题干中的问题;二、展现出你愿意去表达和表达英文的能力。

I constantly write by hand since I’m still a student right now. I spend most of my time in school so I need to do a huge amount of school work and homework on a daily basis using pens or pencils. Teachers also check our handwriting in case we just doodle on papers. Actually I’m still working on it because of my poor handwriting. However, from time to time, I feel exhausted to write by hand. So when all the work has been finished, I frequently drop my pen and turn on my laptop to chat online. In addition, I’m always trying to memorize more shortcuts. I think using a keyboard to type is easier and a lot more fun.

语料补充：

• nice/poor handwriting优美的/糟糕的书写; calligraphy书法; traditional Chinese culture中国传统文化; mother tongue母语; keyboard键盘; capital letters大写字母; shortcuts快捷键; backlit背光; PC personal computer个人电脑; flexible fingers灵活的手指; e-mails电子邮件; reports报告

• inherit继承; handwrite手写; take notes做笔记; sit/take tests/exams参加考试; send/receive发送/接收;type打字; write/type smoothly流利地写字/打字; doodle乱涂乱画接下来这个问题问的仍然是电脑和用手写字之间的关系。

Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?

误区：

此问题并没有标准的答案，我们不必须从任何教科书或者老师那里得到任何一个标准答案，到底是会代替还是不会。因为问题开端就告诉大家，do you think，是你认为，而不是究竟将会如何。所以首先我们不用担心是否回答错问题。但是即便你的答案真的是错的，也不必太慌张，把你的注意力更多的放在展现语言能力上就好了。

思路：

关于这个问题只有一种解题思路就是回答Yes or No，并给出相应的得当的原因加例子。如果你想要回答科技会有一天取代纸质的书写，就可以用This is an inevitable trend，这是一个必然的趋势，来展开描述小学里面都在用iPad办公和上课，paperless office无纸化办公越来越多，并且这样做是有好处的 environmentally friendly，可以节约好多树木。如果你的切入点是不会的，这是我们老祖宗的东西traditional Chinese culture，并且我们是非常有责任去传承去发展的we have the responsibility to inherit and develop, 不能让这些非物质文化遗产流逝The loss of our non-material cultural heritage等角度也是完全没问题的。

I don’t really think so. I understand that, with the development of hi-tech, more ways are available to write like on laptops or on iPad. However, as Chinese, writing by hand is not only the way we inherit our traditional Chinese culture, but also a unique method to prove we are who we are. We cannot lose the essence deep in our bones.

语料补充：在句子开头处，我们可以用一些短语来引出我们真正想要表达的观点。这样可以给我们争取一些时间来思考。比如最简单的，I think, I guess, I bet, I suppose, I reckon, I believe等。另外I’m inclined to think that, I’m not sure but, I understand that, I must admit that, I’m not an expert but，all I’m trying to say is that等， 都是可以起到类似作用的。

接下来这个问题说的是你认为纸质的书写或者是字迹重要么?Do you think handwriting is very important?

误区：回答这个问题的时候我们首先应该着重搞清楚handwriting都有几层含义，其最基本的两个意思就是1.writing with a pen or pencil用笔或铅笔书写;2.the particular way in which someone forms letters with a pen or pencil某人用笔或铅笔书写字母或文字的特殊方式，我们称之为字迹。这时就要在心里搞清楚，什么时候用什么例子是说的纸质书写这件事还是你写字的效果这件事。

思路：

无论是哪一种意思，我们都应该知道，对于一个民族来说，文字的流传是对文化的承载和烙印，我们都应该去敬重并且延续下去。另外你的字迹在一定程度上能够反映出来你的性格，这也是我们中国人一直在强调的字如其人。当然，我们不能一棒子打死，但是这确实是一个非常有用的可以被循环利用在handwirting这个话题下的口语素材。毕竟口语考官并不知道你的字好不好看。

Absolutely! I learnt to write the first character in my preschool. Since that day, I’ve been keeping writing by hand until now. I’m so proud of this because it’s kind of the essence of our culture. A nation can never lose its language, which must be written on paper to prove who you are. As for me, I’m trying to improve my handwriting since there’s a saying in Chinese: “Your handwriting is just like your personality.” It simply means someone’s writing style resembles his innate qualities.

语料分析：这里一定要注意中文的“字”用的是chracter这个词，而不是英文中的word或者letter。 最后一个问题讲的是现在大多数人是怎么写东西的。Nowadays, how do most people write things?

误区：这里我们要着重弄清楚的一个概念就是write things，写东西。到底是写什么东西，是作业homework，还是论文paper，还是日记diary，还是博客blog等等。如果全部都过一遍，都有可能扣不住most people这个限制条件。所以我们要注意，在这个问题中，我们应该抓住一个最主流，对我们也最容易准备得当并且出分的来说。并且，你是花大部分时间用笔还是用电脑并不重要，主语是most people，而不是讲你的个案。

思路：最主流的方式就两个，一个是手写，一个是电脑打字。如果有人非说用手指咬破写血书也是一种方式，请一定要注意审题，我们讲的是most people。接下来就是选择一种方式，并展开说明你的理由是什么，这时我们就可以结合我们的生活经验来表达合理的原因是什么，甚至举出范例。现在我们用一个支持电脑的观点来回答一下这个问题。

Using a keyboard, I guess. We know that, with the development of technology, more ways are available to write like using a keyboard to type on laptops or on iPad. We can even speak to the machines so that they can talk back to you or put all things down on the screen by identifying your voice. On the contrary, handwriting is not that popular when you are at work, yet I suppose it’s still quite common in schools for students.
