how often you read it

and explain why you like to read it

sample answer

Ok then, I'm going to describe a newspaper that I like reading, and it's actually one of Hangzhou's local papers called the Morning Express. The reason I started reading this particular paper is basically because it came free with my digital TV subscription, so it would be a bit of a waste if I didn't read it!

Anyway, as for what the newspaper is about, well, it actually covers quite a range of news, such as current affairs, business, sports, local and national news, you name it! But I'd say it essentially focuses on regional news, because after all, it is just a local paper, which, as far as I know, is only circulated in and around Hangzhou.

And with regard to how often I read it, well, I guess pretty much every day actually, although to be precise, I hardly ever read it in its entirety, as it would be far too time-consuming, especially as I'm not that fast a reader, so I normally just flick through and read only the interesting-looking articles.

So finally, as to why I like this paper, well first of all, I would say it's really informative, and it helps me keep up-to-date with what's going on around me, otherwise I wouldn't have much of a clue, to be honest with you! And I guess another thing worth mentioning is that the newspaper is generally very well-written, because the articles, on the whole, are concise and not too wordy, unlike many other newspapers I've read in the past!

Ok, I think that's just about everything, so thanks very much for listening.

I am going to talk about my favorite magazine which is called Trends Health. I usually pick up and read it at the campus library and it is published on monthly bases. I find it interesting because they take our health seriously and promote a healthy lifestyle to us. It constantly keeps me updated with the most recent discoveries in health promotion.

As the name implies, it contains information, news and reports about the latest developments in medical and health. Recently, I read an awesome article about 100 Easy Ways to Be Healthy Inside and Out. I was totally fascinated by it, for it points out that we should pay close attention to life details to keep healthy, such as, trim your hair with a regular time, don't over-wash your skin, and get at least 60 minutes of exercise daily and so on. Read on to learn about 100 different ways to make an easy and healthy change for the better. That's the reason why l prefer to read this magazine.

雅思口语中杂志话题如何作答

1.Do you often read newspapers?

No, not really. I read free community newspapers when I happen to find one on the bus, but that’s about it. I get my news from the internet these days.

2.Do you prefer to read local news or international news?

I like to find out what’s going on in my local community – that’s the reason I’ll pick up a local paper if I happen to see one. Even though the local news is likely to be quite mundane, the fact that it’s about familiar people and places makes it interesting to readers who share the same background. International news is often more dramatic but it’s often quite removed from my day-to-day life. Also, almost all the international news we hear these days is negative.

3.Which is more popular where you live, newspapers or magazines?

Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t think many people buy newspapers these days. I would guess that magazines are more popular, although I have to say that I very rarely buy one.

4.In the future, do you think more people than today will read magazines or few people?

I expect that the number of people reading newspapers and magazines will continue to fall in the future, as more and more people make use of the internet instead. At the moment, I don’t think many young people read newspapers and magazines – it’s mostly older people, who haven’t adapted to using the internet and prefer to stick to what they’re used to.

5.Do you think newspapers will be very important to you in the future?

No, I doubt it very much. Although there are positives, as printing daily newspapers must have involved the use of a huge amount of paper, I used to really like buying the paper on a Sunday. It was very thick, with lots of different sections on fashion, how to renovate your home, recipes or sport - and it took the whole week for our family to work our way through it. I never do crosswords anymore, either, which is a shame.

雅思口语杂志话题及回答

1.Which do you prefer, reading newspapers or magazines?

I would say I prefer newspapers. Newspapers in just ten or eight pages give you a glimpse of the entire world, including all the sections. From fashion to the general news to comics to sports to almost everything. In just one newspaper, you have access to the entire world.

2.What type of stories do you like to read about?

I love reading autobiographies and non-fiction. Autobiographies because they give a glimpse of lifestyle of a very successful person. You get to know them when they were the mango people and what they did to become what they became.

3.Have you ever read a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language? [When/Why?]

Yes, all the time. I lived in another country for several years, so reading in a foreign language was a normal activity for me, not just newspapers and magazines, but all kinds of documents and literature. I still do it to maintain my reading skills.

4.Do you think reading a newspaper and magazine can help you learn a language?

Yes, but it depends on your language level. If you are just beginning to learn a language then it can be very difficult and frustrating – certainly not the best way to try and learn a foreign language .

5.Why do you think some people prefer magazines to newspapers?

I think the reason might be that magazines are more specific. So, for example if I am interested in reading about like sports, then a magazine will offer me better articles and more specific, to be concise. It also de clutters all the things that one does not wants to read.

6.Which magazines and newspapers do you read 【why】?

Answer A】 I prefer reading magazines on travel. Being a travel host, it is very important for me to know about more places and understand them theoretically, before taking on my camera and team along side. Travel magazine also help me to understand the perspective of the other person for a same place that I have also visited. Apart from it, I like fashion magazines as well. Not for the reasons of fashion, I find them good entertainer when one wants to just spend time idly.

Answer B】 I only read magazines and newspapers if I’m waiting someplace and they are there, and there is no other alternative. Most of the time, I prefer doing something on my phone. But, either ways, I like to read sports magazine. Cars and their engines excite me for the most part. I mean, there are fantastic cars out there and in magazines, a perfect description is given. Newspapers, I rarely read. I prefer getting the news on either phone or television.
