雅思口语Neighbors话题

1. Do you think neighbors are important?

解析：这个话题是典型的part 3重要性类型的问题。常见的提问方法为 “Do you think …is important/necessary?” 基本上是在讨论话题的必要性和重要性，当然如果讨论思路，基本上考官问是否重要，多半都是回答重要的会比较好回答。相信很多考生都比较熟悉“远亲不如近邻”这个谚语，“A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”。邻居的重要性可以在很多地方体现，比较容易想到的是可以互相帮助，在生活上会方便很多，其实良好的邻里关系也可以促进和谐的人际关系，让你每天幸福感提升。毕竟，又如中国古话说，“抬头不见低头见”, “be bound to see much of each other”.

Tip：在part 3跟考官的进一步讨论中，我们经常可能会受到文化影响，引用一些中国的谚语等，这个时候都可以用 “As the old Chinese saying goes” 引出。

Sample

Of course, that’s for sure. Cause you know you are bound to see much of each other, when you go to work or when you get back home, or in the lift and so on. They can provide you with some immediate help. Just as the traditional Chinese saying goes, “A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor”. Besides, a healthy, strong relationship can enhance your happiness of living in the community.

引申：

Do you think it’s are important to have a good relationship with one’s neighbors?

这题与上面的题目类似，甚至可以说重复，但是如果考官考察到了，我们可以选择上面以说道理为主，下面以举实例为主的方式，又或者采取两者结合，给出一个相对比较完整丰富的答案。

Sample

Yes, absolutely. For example, when you go for a work trip, and you can ask your neighbor to take care of your pet or to watch out your house for you occasionally. You know, crimes like burglars or robbery can be greatly reduced through a helpful neighbor. So it’s really practical to have a good relationship with your neighbors.

2. Do you think people’s relationships with their neighbors today is the same as it was in the past?

解析：part 3典型的对比类题目。讨论邻里关系变化。类似的题目还有

How do you think the neighbor relationship has changed in China in recent years?

Do you think it’s common in China to not know each other’s neighbors?

Sample

Maybe not. You know in the past, most Chinese people live in a big yard, they share some public facilities, send each other homemade food, visit each others’ home all the time, it’s like they are a big family. However, nowadays, most of the people live in apartments, and they shut the door after work. It’s common in China right now to not know your neighbors at all. They are already totally different.

3. Why do you think is that?/ What are the reasons behind that?

解析：讨论人际关系变淡的原因。除了上文中提到的客观原因，比如现在居住的环境变化，人们生活水平提高，不再共同享用公共设施以外，这里可以从人的角度去讨论，现在大家都很忙，压力很大，没有时间去跟邻居社交，另外现代人普遍对于陌生人会比较警惕，冷漠，缺乏信任。

Sample

Well, there are many factors for that. You know, modern people are all busy with their life and suffer from a lot of stress. So they don’t want to still suffer from the pressure of socializing after work. There is no doubt to say that modern people tend to be very indifferent towards others. They couldn’t trust others easily.

4. What are the benefits of belonging to a community?

解析：这个话题是有一定难度的。Belong to a community这个概念很多中国考生并没有那么熟悉。其实我们就可以简单理解为，作为你自己生活小区的一员，有归属感，遇到问题，可以得到小区其他成员的帮助，并且大家可以通过共同的努力去完成一些事情。

Sample

There are plenty of them. For one thing, you can experience the sense of security. You, as part of the community, there is a whole group of people behind your back. If you come across some problems, they will help you like your friends and families. More importantly, belonging to a community can help you, with others together contribute to it, making a better community. You know, when you are actually living in a community, there are a lot of things couldn’t be done by one single person. If you are really part of it, you would really want it better.

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。

雅思口语公共设施话题

1. Do you like going to parks and/or public gardens?

【If yes:】

Yeah, on the whole I do, as long as the weather’s nice of course! You know, I think they’re nice places to go to get some fresh air and enjoy the natural environment. And I always tend to feel a bit less stressed out when I’m in a garden or park.

【如果是】：

是的，总的说来，只要天气好就行!你知道，我认为它们是去呼吸新鲜空气和享受自然环境的好地方。当我在花园或公园里时，我总是感到压力小一些。

【If no:】

No I don’t, because I kind of think there’s not really that much to do in parks. I mean, most of the ones near to where I live have nothing! You know, all you can really do is just wander around, and after you’ve been to them so many times, they kind of get a bit boring, if you know what I mean!

【如果没有：】

不，我不这样认为，因为我觉得公园里没有太多的事情要做。我的意思是，大部分住在我住的地方都没有东西!你知道，你真正能做的就是四处逛逛，在你去过他们那么多次之后，他们变得有点无聊，如果你明白我的意思的话!

2. When was the last time you went to a park?

Um… let me see…when was the last time?... I suppose it must have been about … it must have been about two or three months ago, a bit before Christmas, cos I remember that day the sky was really clear for a change! And so I thought it would be nice to go out for a walk somewhere, which I did.

嗯……让我想想……最后一次是什么时候?…我想一定是……大概是两三个月前，圣诞节前夕，因为我记得那天的天空真的很晴朗，可以改变!所以我想出去散步是很好的，我做到了。

3. Do you think the parks and gardens where you live could be improved in any ways?

Yeah I do. I think they could be improved quite a bit. Cos as I mentioned just now, there’s not really that much you can do there, so I think some facilities could be added. For example, it would be nice if there was a café or something where you could sit and enjoy the surroundings with a cup of coffee. And uh.. what else?... Oh yeah, another thing that I think’s lacking is children’s play areas, you know, like climbing frames, swings and slides, because I’ve noticed that most parks have exercise equipment for adults, but nothing really for children. So this is another aspect in which I think parks could really improve on.

是的。我认为它们可以有很大的改进。正如我刚才提到的那样，你在那里没有多少东西可以做，所以我想可以增加一些设施。比如，如果有咖啡馆或什么地方，你可以坐下来喝杯咖啡来享受周围的环境，那就太好了。呃…还有什么?…噢，是的，我认为缺少的另一个地方是儿童游乐区，你知道，像爬架、秋千和滑梯，因为我注意到大多数公园都有成人用的运动器材，但实际上没有儿童用的。这是另一个方面，我认为公园真的可以改善。

4. Would you like to see more parks and gardens in your hometown?

Yeah I would, because we only have a very small number at the moment, and considering there are several million people living here, I think it would definitely be good to have a few more!

是的，我愿意，因为目前我们只有很少的人口，考虑到这里有几百万人口，我想再住几个肯定会很好!

5. Do you prefer to relax with your friends in a park or an indoor place?

I’d say I generally prefer to relax with my friends somewhere indoors, because I mean, if I’m meeting up with them in a park, then everything could be ruined by the weather. So it’s a bit easier arranging to meet somewhere indoors. Having said that though, if it’s a really nice day out, then I suppose I would prefer to be outside with them somewhere, like a park.

我想说我通常更喜欢和朋友在室内的某个地方放松，因为我的意思是，如果我在公园里和他们见面，那么一切都可能被天气毁坏。所以安排在室内见面比较容易。话虽如此，如果外面天气真的很好，我想我还是喜欢和他们一起出去玩，比如公园。
