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。

When it comes to my favorite childhood game, I’d like to introduce the game called “Eagle, chick and hen”.

What we will need for this game is enough space for some excitable kids, like squares or the like.

At the beginning of the game, the first part of the role, that is, when a hen, a person when the eagle, and the rest when the chicken. The hen will always protects her chicks from eaten by an eagle hence usually a leader will act as a chicken and others more timid will rely their trust and burden onto the leader. The attacker will act as the eagle to catch the chicks queuing behind the leader as the chicken. To win the game is when the eagle catches all chicks through grabbing behind the chicken therefore is a win-lose game whereby no time frame limitation. This is the game that cultivates our cooperation spirit when our growth.

I still remember that the game was really enjoyable and we all had fun at that moment. This game also served as a chance for me to make friends with other children and enrich my daily life even when our growth. No matter what I used to play, I should say that the childhood is one of the happiest times in my life.

雅思口语Meals话题

1. Which meal do you prefer, lunch or dinner?

解题思路：

对于meal的题常常会让考生讨论自己更喜欢哪一餐，但是很多考生很纠结到底应该选择哪一餐，也不知道该怎么去说，可能就直接会回答：“I have no idea which one I will choose“。然后等待考官继续发问。其实考生不用太纠结说哪一餐更好，只要可以说出相应的原因就可以了。

如果说自己更喜欢享用午餐，理由可以是整天学习或工作中间自己可以休息的一点儿时间，因为整天都会待在学校或办公室里。我们就可以说：

I like lunch better. That’s usually the one meal where I have a little bit of time. It’s also the one where I tend to go out because of being at university or office all day.

那么如果选择晚餐，理由可能会更加的丰富，比如说：忙碌了一整天终于可以坐下来享受美食，真是天堂般的待遇。还可以与午餐做比较，因为我们还有很多事要在剩余的半天完成，所以午餐就特别的匆忙，没时间好好享受食物。那么我们就可以回答：

I would say dinner. Because dinner is the last meal of the day, and we are all tired out from a whole day of work or study, and finally sit down and have a nice meal, it’s just heavenly. Lunch is often too hasty to be enjoyable, since we still have a lot to do for another half day.

参考内容：

另外，我们可以对于形容食物好的词语进行替换，比如说：tasty, nice, amazing, awesome等等，这样就可以避免考生们在形容食物的时候经常会用到的delicious这个词。

2. Which meal of the day do you think is most important?

解题思路：

大多数考生对于这道题的回答都会是breakfast. 因为很多健康指南上都说到：“早餐是一天当中最重要的一餐。“当然只说这样一句是不够的，原因还是要解释。我们可以讲每天早晨从sweet dream美梦中醒来有一整天的事儿等着我们去做，那么一顿健康的早餐可以为我们的一天来pump up打打气，所以早餐是一天中最重要的。我们可以这样回答：

I think it would be breakfast. That’s how they say on every health guide, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Apparently you just wake up from your sweet dream and a whole day of work awaits you, it’s very important to have a healthy breakfast to pump you up for the day.

参考内容：

当然，有些考生会比较愿意说午餐或晚餐，那么原因就可以借鉴我们之前提到的用中午空闲的时间来休息，或者说完成了一天的工作犒劳自己一顿丰盛的晚餐，这样会对于心情的调整更加重要等等这样的理由。

3. What do you usually eat for breakfast or lunch?

解题思路：

如果对于这道题考生提前准备了相关食物的内容会更好，如果没有搜集到食物的名称，最好找自己会说的内容来讲，例如说eggs, bread, milk等等。而不是一定要按照自己的实际情况来讲不会的词语，有些考生想说“豆腐脑”，“油条”之类的内容，如果没有这些表达，不仅会影响了流利程度而且还自我提升了本题的难度。所以，建议考生依据已有词汇和表达作答。我们可以说：

For breakfast I usually have eggs of some sort, some bread and a glass of milk. And sometimes I eat some fruit like apples or bananas.

参考内容：

如果考生仍然想扩展内容，我们可以积累以下常作为早餐食物的说法：muffin松饼 orange juice橙汁 soy milk豆奶

雅思口语A day off话题

Describe something you would like to do if you were given a day off.

You should say:

What you would like to do

Who would you like to be with

Where you would like to do it

and explain how you would feel at the end of the day

解析：题目问的是休假一天你将怎么度过。这道题已经不是新题了，在2012-2013年的时候就考过一样的题目。然而这个题目一直被认为是相对难答的题目之一。需要注意的是这道题的问法有玄机，问的是如果你有一天你休假，你计划将怎么度过。这显然是一个对将来的虚拟，大家在回答这道题的时候就要格外小心语态的问题，重要的事情再强调一遍，问题中的语态和时态对应的就应该是我们回答的时候的语态和时态!所以对于这个题，我们通常会用到…. I would like to....; I guess I probably would…; 或者干脆就Iplan to…都可以。

那么对于这个topic本身，我们可以回答的内容相对是比较广泛的，怎么度过一天，你可以说有一个非常短的旅行short trip; 可以说跟朋友聚会friend-gathering, I would like to hang out and have a blast with friends; 可以说跟家人在一起享受天伦之乐，enjoy quality time with family; 可以说去做一些平时想做但是没时间做的休闲娱乐活动，爱好之类的，I would like to lie in the sofa, reading a novel with a cup of coffee in my hand, which I guess might be the best choice for me.

那么接下来2个小题，who to be with and where to go就比较简单啦，根据你选的想做的是做人物和地点的设定就OK了，friends/ besties/ family…; 最后一题，how would you like to feel, 依然是对将来的虚拟，让大家设想你这样度过一天之后的感受，大家不妨可以跟常规题目的最后一题做一个借鉴，通常情况下常规的题目最后一问问的是and explain why you enjoy it， 针对今天的这题目的最后一问，我们也可以说理由嘛，I assume that would be perfect for me to spend my day off, even if just for one day, in that way, because we are now so preoccupied by other chores at work and at home. If I could spend a day like that with people whom I care about that would be really precious and meaningful.

Tip：如果大家属于比较懒的那一型，不喜欢重新构架story-telling的部分，大家不妨可以合并相似话题，例如最近常考的话题里面有long walk，a journey by car, an educational trip, a happy family event等等都可以作为这个题目的素材，大家不妨把之前已经准备过的如上题目进行一个改写，注意时态的使用就OK了。

Sample:

In this highly competitive modern society, people are struggling to earn a good living or move up the ladder, which means we are so preoccupied with substantial volume of work and have less and less time to spend in our own way. I assume if people could be given one day off, they would like to spend that day in various ways. But to me, I probably won’t choose to hit the road and have a trip or to hang out with friends like many others might do. I suppose if I really think about that, I would have a much more meaningful and productive day off.Since I graduated from the university, I have been working hard and spent most of my time at workplace, and sometimes I even deal with the tasks at home which left me little time to spend with my family. I think it is time to have a change of my heart and get my priority right. So ideally I would like to fulfill the promise I made to my parents and enjoy that day with them. My dad has been always wanted me to go fishing with him and my mom wanted me to help her with the gardening. As I was the one being taken good care of, I hope I can give them some feedback. If I were given a day off, I would get up early and prepare breakfast for my parents, leaving a note on the table and telling them how grateful I am to their care. When I return home after jogging, I plan to clean the garden for my mom and pick up some flowers for her. Maybe then I would just stay at home with then, watch a movie or read some books, just be laid back and enjoy the time.I think that is the way I would like to spend my day off, meaningful and productive.

雅思口语Decisions话题

1. What skills are necessary when making decisions?

关于decision-making的话题，以及关于skills的问题在part 3当中并不算少见，因此同学们还是需要多加注意，平时要多多积累语料。

这个题目在回答的过程当中，同学们容易陷进“skills”的陷阱当中去，很多同学对于skills这个单词的理解非常的狭隘，认为只有“技术性”、“技能性”的才能叫做skills，其实，只要是和能力相关，只要是表示“能做什么样的事情”，都可以用skills这个词来表达。比如雅思听力当中就常常出现writing skills和study skills这种表达，这个时候我们就不一定非要僵硬地把这个词组理解成“写作/学习技能”，而是直接说“写作/学习能力”更好一些。更何况，在一个雅思口语part 3的答案中，流利的应对非常重要，相比较于花时间去纠结skills到底指的是什么，更明智的做法显然是联系decision-making的过程，描述这个当中需要的能力。

具体来说，做决定的时候，我们需要搜集信息，需要跟他人沟通讨论，有时候甚至需要坚持自己的主张【assert my opinions】或者控制情绪，这些都可以作为答案内容。

示范答案：

Making decisions is a complex process, which might involve a great many skills. For starters, the ability of collecting facts and figures is essential, because the first step of making a decision is to get a whole understanding of the relevant information. Sometimes, we need to be computer-literate to look up information on the Internet. Secondly, we shall be able to do some data analysis so that we can make a wise decision. In addition, we need to keep calm inside, even when it is an urgent situation and we are asked to make prompt decisions, otherwise we might decide on something and regret it quite soon. Finally, a good decision-maker should be able to control his own mood and never get emotional, since we are not likely to make a good decision when we are thrilled, furious or anxious. So to sum up, there are plenty of necessary skills when making a decision. Sometimes we are not even aware of them.

2. How can people improve their decision-making skills?

这个题目的回答思路其实还是比较广的，我们可以将此题和上一题联系起来【很多时候考官确实会把这样的两道题目连着问】，那么此时我们就应该从上一题的答案出发，具体讲解如何提高搜集信息的能力，如何提高分析数据的能力等等，这是一个思路;

另一方面，我们可以考虑从宽泛的地方入手，讲一个“放之四海而皆准”的答案【比如今天的示范答案】，具体内容方面就是锻炼能力的通常途径：练习。

考生不必担心这样“放之四海而皆准”的答案内容会不会让考官误以为在背答案，因为这个内容对应该问题并不牵强，同时还很实际。我们只要注意回答的时候要自然一些就好了。

示范答案：

I think people can improve their decision-making skills the way they do to improve all other skills – by learning and practising. If someone feels that he is not good at making decisions, the first thing he might have to do is to observe – to find out how others will react when it comes to a similar circumstance. The second step is to compare and contrast. By doing this, people can have a clear understanding of the strong points and the weakness in their decision-making process, so that they could make a progress. The key point of improving the decision-making skills lies in practice. Just like everything, decision-making skills could get strengthened only when we put them into reality. Provided we keep training ourselves in this way, we can all become wise and responsible decision-makers.

3. Do parents in China allow their children to make important decisions about the future?

这种“中国/你们国家现状”的问题其实是最好回答的，因为这样的现状一定是很复杂的，不能一概而论的。因此，考生完全可以根据自己的回答特征和优势有选择性地給出答案。

比如这个题目，可以说yes，当然也可以说no，当然更可以说两者兼而有之，具体怎么操作，可以看考生擅长往哪个方面发挥。并且，建议考生根据这种“in your country / in China”如何如何的题目，准备好一个框架，可以是it depends on…，或者it varies…，接着说因为各地的情况、各个阶层的情况都不一样，最后再详细讲自己看到的、自己了解到的情况是怎样的，这样的答案层次感也比较好。

示范答案：

Well, it’s unlikely to simply say yes or no to this question, since things differ enormously in different families. Some parents allow their children to make almost every decision about the future, from what major to choose, to what kind of person to marry. These are so-called “open-minded” or “enlightened” parents. They are also the popular ones. Children all dream of having this kind of parents and those who do have, are often very proud, confident and independent. However, there are some other parents, who act in a totally opposite way. They feel that they could not trust their children to make any decision, let alone important ones. They are overprotective parents, and without knowing it, they might even ruin their children’s life in the name of “love”. It’s actually very terrible. To me, one of the greatest jobs of a parent is to teach the children how to make decisions on their own, so that children can grow up as mature, responsible adults.
