雅思口语话题wedding

雅思口语重在日常积累和练习，但并非茫无目的。我们必须针对不同的话题，分门别类，进行强化训练，只有这样才能脚踏实地，提高口语水平。

Describe a wedding you have been to.描述一个你去过的婚礼。

You should say:

Where it was

Who you went with

What you saw

And how you felt about the wedding.

During the last 2 years, I’ve attended several weddings since I am already at the age when many of my friends are planning to get hitched with their lovers. But today I would like to say something about my cousin’s wedding, which roughly happened 5 months ago. I went there with my family, definitely. Specifically, Chinese weddings are quite different from western ones. For western countries, they normally hold a wedding in a church, but for Chinese, we always have it in a fancy hotel or a luxury restaurant, and so it’s the same with my cousin’s wedding.

Before the ceremony, the groom picked up the bride, my cousin, with a motorcade and then they took some photos in open areas, just on a square of my city. My cousin was extremely beautiful and she was in a pure white wedding dress. And then, they went to the hotel, where they had the wedding reception. The venue was nicely decorated, and there was a flood of people, perhaps 200. To be honest, the reception was very ceremonious. Firstly, the officiator gave a very brief speech, after that, the new couple exchanged their rings, took vows, and followed by a toast from the guests to the bride and groom. Undoubtedly, everyone there was in high spirits, chatting and laughing all day long. The couple, obviously loved each other so much. They even couldn’t take their eyes off each other during the whole evening. It was a wonderful wedding as I’ve witnessed my cousin’s important day. It was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience for her.

雅思口语森林话题

1. Do you like trees?

Yes, I am a tree lover because trees let me breath better, without them I couldn’t survive any longer.

2. Are there any important trees in your country?

There are many important trees in my country. The use of bamboo, for example, can be ranged from furniture making to building construction. Besides, the weeping willow trees symbolise the new hope in ancient China, therefore, there are many poem complimenting them.

3. Is there a forest near your hometown?

Yes. It’s just the world-renowned Huangshan Mountain with various kinds of trees living there, the most famous one are pine trees.

4. Would you like to live in a place that has a lot of trees?

Yes, I’m really into getting close to nature cos I believe it’s the most healthy and natural way of living.

5. Where can one find trees 【or forests】 in your country?

I guess trees can be easily seen in my country. If you are in cities, there are always many sycamore trees along the streets; or if you are in the suburb areas, you will see forests in various sizes.

6. Do you think places with trees attract more visitors than places with few trees?

Well, yes. Obviously places with lots of trees are more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy, therefore, people will feel more comfortable and more likely to get close to nature.

雅思口语website话题

Well, to be honest, I’ve got to say this is quite a tricky topic for me, cause I do get online quite a lot and there are loads of webpages that I like to visit on a day-to-day basis; but if I’ve got to tell you about one of them, perhaps I could bring up this one Yahoo.com.

I reckon you must have heard of Yahoo. If not, I use it just as a search engine, pretty much like Google. Of course they do many other things, like finance and that. When I first started to chat to internet friends back in high school, I met an American guy who recommended me to download Yahoo messenger. That’s the first time I heard about this Yahoo thing. To be honest, I’d never really liked yahoo messenger so I stopped using it pretty soon. But then I discovered Yahoo.com was actually a pretty handy website which could help me solve all my doubts and questions.

What’s more, I could sign up for an email address and that. In fact, I didn’t use to use Yahoo as much as I got on Google, but since Google got blocked over here in China, I’ve sort of moved back onto Yahoo. These days, I mainly just use it to check some English idioms for my own interest. Apart from that, I really enjoy browsing for all kinds of images and that on it. Even some of my friends are starting to use Yahoo too, although most people around me still prefer Baidu which is possibly one of the most popular search engines in my country.

Anyway, I have to say deep down I still kind of like Google better, although I cannot really think of anything bad about Yahoo yet. I mean at the moment, I’m quite happy with what I can get over the internet with the help of Yahoo. Hopefully Google will be allowed soon so I can have more choices. That’s all I can tell you about right now.

雅思口语Photography话题

1. Do you like taking photos/pictures?

听到这个题目很多同学的常规思路是“喜欢拍照，因为有意思【I love taking photos because it is very interesting】”。这种答法非常普便，最大的缺点就是太笼统，细节太少，不符合雅思口语评分标准中 ‘speak at full length’的内在要求。

那么有没有比较有意思，新颖，丰富的答案呢?下面我们通过语料分析来拓展一下思路。

这个问题所能展开的语料点有两个：

一是like这个单词，我们可以有很多同义替换的词汇，比如love, enjoy, be crazy about, be fond of等等。

第二语料点就是taking photos/pictures,我们可以想一想是给人照相，还是给风景照相，这样我们在设计答语时，就会有两个可发散的方向。或者两者都涉及到以使答更加丰富。关于taking photos/pictures，我们还可以用特殊疑问词去展开叙述，比如what，用什么拍照，相机还是手机，where喜欢在哪拍照，山里还是海边，还有how often多久拍一次。

对于这道题目而言，很多同学会有这样一个疑惑，Do you like taking photos是给自己拍照还是给别人拍照。这里我们可以引入一个短语 take photo of…表示给……拍照。所以为了保险一点，我们理解为给别人或其他东西拍照是绝对不会产生误解的。当然如想表达给自己拍照可以说 take photo of myself. 此题所考查的语法点并不是很难，主要是like doing something这样一个固定搭配。同时有相同语法规则的词还有enjoy doing something, 大家在使用时注意这一点即可。

范例：Oh, yes, taking photos is my favorite activity to have fun. Every time when I travel with friends or family people to some places such as tourist attractions or parks, I’m sure to take my camera to take pictures of sceneries, people and even myself. I will save and copy these pictures to my computer. Then I sometimes use photoshop to process the pictures to make them look more beautiful. Of course, like a lot of young people, I also use smart mobile phone to have photos quite often. The most important reason why I enjoy doing this activity is that photos always remind me of the wonderful past life. I love it.

2. Would you like to take photos of others or be photographed?

这是一个非常经典的选择性的问答题，面对这样的题目，大部分同学还是可以很快做出选择的，例如很多人会说: I would like to take photos of others.但是后续思路的拓展难倒了很多人，比如为什么喜欢这样的做法。理由的补充是雅思口语考试中最重要的细节之一。所以这个题目的思路的新颖性需要体现在reason这个点上。

我们来进行一下语料分析。首先是Would you like的替换，除了I would like这个短语之外，我们还可以用I would prefer to do, I have my preference for doing,甚至I want to, I love to都是不错的，也可以用一些对比信号比较强烈的词组，例如这样的开头句，Compared with being photographed, I would prefer to take photos of others.

那么接下来，我们该如何展开reason呢?最好的办法，就是结合自己的个人情况：

有的同学说自己不上相，我们可以说他不够photogenic,如果这个单词有难度，就可以说I don’t look beautiful/cool/handsome in photo.因此不太喜欢被别人拍照。

与之相反，有的同学比较喜欢欣赏自己的美，就可以说，I feel really confident when seeing beautiful me in photos.甚至可以自嘲说Maybe I have narcissism,有点自恋。因此这样的同学可以选择说喜欢被照相。这里我们谈了较多被拍照的思路，

除此之外，我们也可以就take photos of others展开分析，photography摄影是一个相对专业一点的爱好，想要拍好照片需要一定的技术，所以我们可以考虑一下自己的特长和爱好，从而确定怎么去答题。假如我的摄影技术很差，就可以说Taking photos of others is a hard job for me and many of my friends say that I often make them look weird in photos, so I seldom take photos of others.总之，这个题目思路和语料的展开是非常灵活的，因为题目给我们提供了两个事件：拍和被拍。因此，对比是主题。
