Describe a happy time in your childhood/an important memory in childhood

1. Why do sometimes people forget things they don't want to do?

I guess this happens because our brain subconsciously erases everything that is likely to bring negativeemotions and experiences making room for more positive feelings which accompany actions and events people look forward to. Or there can be even a simpler explanation for this... people just block information about what they don't want to do and, as a result, at some point naturally forget it.

2. Which do you think is more important to remember about, a business meeting or a meeting with a friend?

I am more than sure that it's really essential not to forget about a business meeting because not turning up will communicate a plethora of negatives to your partners showing you as an unreliable and untrustworthy person and assuring them that they can't count on you. Of course, it's better not to forget about a meeting with a friend either but still if it happens, it won't be that embarrassing and unprofessional. What is more, a friend will anyway forgive you and this won't change their attitude you, which is not the case with your partners or boss.

3. Why do people want to remember their family history?

Well, I guess, first of all, to preserve it in order to leave it for future family to enjoy. I also think people strive to remember family history because it solidifies a sense of family in general and helps them understand their current family dynamics. And the last reason I can think of is the fact that knowing and remembering their heritage and where they come from helps people have perspective and purpose, which in its turn adds meaning to their lives.

4. What can you do to know more about your family history?

Well, the first step we can take is ask each relative about specific individuals and gather details surrounding their lives. Then. we can examine our homes for vital records, old photos. diaries and letters. They can contain important facts which will help us uncover our family secrets. Some more things we can do are explore newspaper archives and records relating to our families, search databases of names on the web or even try websites specifically about our ethnic heritage. If we don't want to spend a lot of time on searching, we can hire an experienced genealogical researcher to get the lowdown on our ancestors.

雅思口语social network话题

1. What kind of social networking websites do you like to use?社交网站：social networking siteNetwork名词：网络;动词：建立网站我们根据社交网络的目的不同，我们可以稍微分一下类：

首先是像QQ、微信这种，基本还是属于认识的人之间的社交工具。The sites or applications that can only be used for the communication between people already known.

其次是微博或者Facebook这种，个人的主页，所有的人都可以去看的，算是一种比较公开的信息传播的平台。Personal homepage which can be viewed by almost everyone using the Internet还有就是skype，是可以出了社交之外，还可以打电话，和真是的人直接沟通的 it can not only offer connection between website users but between online users and the people in reality. 或者是linkedin, 领英，也是每个人输入自己真实的信息，但是更多的是为了工作事业为目的，为不同行业的人才之间搭建的平台。

Pose their CV and find ideal positions online. 或者是momo这样的，纯粹是为了和陌生人进行交流的一些平台。Meet strangers with same interest or description或者是其他带着特殊功能的平台，比如世纪佳缘等等，是为了找对象的。

我觉得可以大概分为三种情况：为了和熟人保持联系的，比如微信;为了认识陌生人的，比如陌陌;为了关注名人动态的，比如微博。当你说了你喜欢的类型之后，需要简单的给一些理由：如果是联系熟人，可能是为了：

更好的保持联系，或者通过这些网站，更加全面的了解对方的一些喜好和最近发生的事情

To keep frequent contact with these friends, or to have a wider and better understanding of these firends

如果是联系陌生人，可能是为了找到有共同兴趣爱好的人，可以一起打游戏之类的

To find friends with same interests so they can play computer games together, for example.

如果是为了关注明星，无非是满足自己对明星生活的好奇，希望能了解自己喜欢的偶像的一切

To satisfy the curiosity of the private life of celebrities and to know their most recent update of their work and life.

2. Are you a social person?

Social这个单词有三个主要的意思：社会的;社会地位的;社交的。当然和人搭配，指的是：喜欢社交的人。有三种可能的回答：我是一个喜欢社交的人。我喜欢认识新的朋友，我享受和很多人分享的感觉

I am definitely a social person. I like making new friends and enjoy sharing my experience with many other people.

我是一个不喜欢社交的人。我喜欢一个人呆着，我比较享受一个人的时光，而不喜欢一群人的狂欢。

I am not a social person, I prefer staying alone. Too many strangers may make me feel uncomfortable.

我得分情况：如果是我熟悉的人，我喜欢社交，我常常和自己圈子里面的人出去玩。但是我不喜欢去陌生人太多的场合，那样我会很不自在的。It depends. I would very much like to hang out with the friends I know. But if I am invited to go to a party full of strangers, I might not likely to go there.

3. What kinds of people do you like to be friends with on those websites?

大概可以分为三种人：真实生活里的人：可能是曾经有过一面之缘，在同一个学校，或者同时参加过一些活动，或者有一些共同的朋友，通过社交网站找打了彼此，建立了联系。Firstly, it is very likely that I can find someone I have already known or used to study in the same school to have attended the same activities.

虚拟的人：根据一些搜索的选项，比如兴趣爱好，找到了和自己志同道合的人，有相同话题的人

Based on some search options, such as interest or identity, I can find someone who can share the same hobby as me.

名人：希望认识某个明星，或者是某个行业的牛人，希望想他讨教很多的经验和技巧，或者听取一些建议，帮助自己能更好的事业发展。

I also like to know some famous people on these sites, not necessarily be the celebrities, maybe the well-known experts in my field. So I can ask for some help for my own job and advices on my career development.【这就是互联网时代的好处】

4. Is it easy to find real friends on a social networking websites?

能：一个是信息有一定的真实性，比如Facebook，或者国内以前比较流行的人人网，基本的信息都是真实的，所以，是可能找到真的友谊的。Most sites have certain extent of truthfulness, such as facebook. It is possible that we can find real friends online.或者是因为网络的环境，大家彼此不认识，会写下很多的伪装，往往更有真心的交流和沟通。

Since we don’t have to pretend to be others in some occasions in the reality, online, we are more willing to express the true self and communicate with others whole-heartedly.

不能：网上的信息很多是虚假的。而且很多时候，我们会隐藏自己的真实信息。假设我去这些网站注册，我说我是女的，50多岁了，也没人会说什么，于是我是可以任意的impersonate others，所以，网上的很多朋友仅限于你打游戏，或者聊天，并不能延伸到真实的生活里面去。May information online is false. Sometimes, we will try to impersonate others, to conceal the real interests of us. So the friends made online cannot be real and can only be restricted in the virtual world.

雅思口语waited for something话题

Describe a situation you waited for something.

You should say:Where this place wasWhen this happenedWho you were withand explain why you had to wait for it.

题目的变化与思路Describe a situation you waited for someoneDescribe a time you waited in a traffic jam有时候这种题目重点放在感受，你等待的过程是一种怎样的体验。当然这也是这种题目的难点。因为如果你之说一个“烦”字，就很难撑到两分钟。所以感受可以一分阶段的方式展开，比如说可以说开始感受是很ok，觉得没什么;然后在等待10分钟以后可能就开始比较烦躁了【start to feel cranky and annoyed】，这时候你可以打电话或者催促一下你等的等等;再过一段时间，感情可能就要变成着急了又生气【really mad】，因为无限的等待让你觉得会耽误接下来的行程，或者是让你不知道该怎么做了【don’t know what I’m supposed to do next】。

选题材：很多等待的经历，但是有时候是很短暂很普通的等待，比如等公车，排队买电影票。这种题材就算是英语大神也很难延伸，因为实在是没有什么可说的。 所以题目中其实暗含着一个字，就是‘impressive and special’, 有什么等待的经历让你觉得比较特别呢?你可以是等待假期的到来，好去旅行;或者等待你最喜欢的电影上映，这些话题中其实都有可以延伸的点，旅行你可以说途中看到的感受到的;电影你可以说为何如此喜欢那部戏。

那在这里选题我是选择了旅行，并受了一句歌词的启发，叫做‘是等太阳升起，还是意外先来临’，于是加入了途中等日出这个环节。这样可以把一些熟悉的话题和这个题目有效的结合在一起。

Actually, we all have some experience of waiting for a moment or someone and now I’d like to talk about a situation that I waited for the sunrise. I remembered it was on the top of the Tai Mountain which is one of the most popular tourist sites in Shandong Province. So my friend Kim and two other classmates decided to visit it with me. It was in last summer holiday but surprisingly, when we reached the top of the mountain, it felt freezing cold. That experience really impressed me because we went hiking during the night, starting at about 1:30 am and the trip to the top of the mountain cost us about three and a half hours. And all these efforts were for the sunrise. As to why we waited for that moment. Well, most importantly, the sunrise at the Tai Mountain was famous for its spectacular scenery so we really would like to watch it in person. Also, it was said not everyone could see the sunrise because the weather could be pretty unpredictable and if the day was too cloudy and foggy, the views and sunshine might be blocked. Only the lucky persons could see it. So I guess we kind of wanted to try our luck as well. And at the beginning of the waiting, we were a bit nervous and worried because all the hard works and long trip might be a waste of time and obviously, we didn’t want to be the unlucky persons. But after one hour and 40 mins waiting and got totally freeze, we finally saw the marvelous sunrise and the view was amazing. The sun was surrounded by the cloud and the sunshine just came through fog, making everything look very warm and dreaming. It was a moment that totally worth waiting!
