雅思口语Music话题

1. What kinds of music are suitable for children? Why?

idea：欢快活泼【upbeat/cheerful/lively】，朗朗上口的【catchy】旋律

reason：这样的旋律学起来很容易，也让孩子们开心【cheer them up】，他们可以快乐地跟着音乐唱跳【sing/dance to the music】

example：Gangnam Style是韩国流行音乐【K-Pop】，歌词也听不懂，可是孩子也喜欢，就因为其旋律很好被孩子接受【well-received among children】

idea：歌曲主题【themes/subjects】贴近孩子生活，歌词【lyrics】简单

reason：歌词很生动【vivid】，有画面感【have pictures/images in mind】，更容易吸引孩子们的注意力【draw their attention】，并引起他们共鸣【relate to】

example：两只老虎，小燕子，小兔子乖乖等经典【classic】童谣都是以孩子们喜欢的动物为主题

sample answer:

Well, I’m no expert on this, but I suppose one of the most important thing is the melody should be upbeat and catchy. Kids are always happy, so naturally they’d love music that cheers them up. On top of that, most children can’t handle complicated melody, what they need is something simple and memorable, so they can sing and dance to it easily and happily. Another thing I guess is the lyrics should be about subjects children can relate to. For example, the little ones normally adore songs about animals.

推荐词汇

I’m no expert on this. 我并非这方面的专家

2. Do you think people’s tastes in music will change as they get older?

idea：同意，会改变

reason：人的一生有机会接触到【get exposed to】不同的音乐类型【music genres】，然后就会喜欢上【fall in love with】一种新的音乐;又或者是跟个性特点【characteristics/personal traits】有关，年轻人精力充沛【energetic/enthusiastic】，喜欢追求刺激【look for thrill/excitement】，因此更容易跟动感的【dynamic】流行音乐产生共鸣，而随着年纪和经历【life experience】的增长，很多人的个性变得温和沉稳【calm】，这样的心态更容易接受古典音乐【classical music】或者交响乐【symphony】这样的类型

example：很多人年轻的时候痴迷于【be crazy about】摇滚乐【rock music】，觉得非常热血沸腾【thrilling/energizing】，然而等年纪增长以后就失去兴趣，觉得这种类型太嘈杂【noisy】，甚至听了身体都会不舒服

idea：不改变

reason：因为热爱，人们对于一种事物的热情不会衰减【the passion never fades】

example：我的伯伯是个死忠的爵士粉【a diehard Jazz fan】

sample answer:

Well, I think my answer is yes and no. On the one hand, people have lots of chances to get exposed to different types of music at different stages of life, so it’s very likely that they will find something that fascinates them, and their tastes in music will change. On the other hand, people just love what they liked in their youth, and his/her passion for a certain genre just never fades. Take my uncle for example, he’s been a diehard Jazz fan all his life. He just can’t get enough of it.

3. Has Chinese music been influenced by western music?

肯定有影响【definitely/absolutely】-全球化【globalization】不断推进，加之网络的推波助澜【with the help of the internet】，我国人民可以与世界人民同步【keep up with the global trend】，有机会听到来自西方的音乐，影响是难以避免【inevitable】的，尤其是流行音乐-西方国家有很多才华横溢的【talented/gifted】音乐人，他们激励了【inspire】我国的音乐人，同时西方音乐在音乐类型，创意【creativity/innovation】，技术【techniques】等各方面都有很多值得我们学习的地方-当前国内的流行音乐深受西方影响【have a big impact on】，有很多西方音乐的元素【element】，比如像是饶舌【rap】。

sample answer:

Yeah, definitely! It’s almost impossible to not get influenced, thanks to globalization, and I think it’s fair to say that pop music in particular has learned the most from western music. There are so many truly talented musicians in western countries, and they have inspired Chinese musicians tremendously. Nowadays you can see lots of western elements added into our pop songs. For example, rap is all the age these days in my country, and the younger generation just love it. They think it’s cool and fun.

雅思口语色彩话题

1. What's your favourite colour?

I'm not really all that sure actually, but I guess it's probably a toss up between green and blue. You know, I've always liked those two colours, and they were the ones that popped to mind when you asked me the question.

实际上我并不是很确定，但我猜大概是在绿色和蓝色之间。你知道，我一直喜欢这两种颜色，当你问我这个问题时，它们是我想到的。

2. Are there any colours you dislike?

No I wouldn't say there are, cos I mean, obviously for some things, there are certain colours that I don't think would look so good, such as me driving a pink car around! But that doesn't mean I don't like pink, it just means I wouldn't choose it for certain things.

不，我不会说有，因为我的意思是，显然对于某些东西，有些颜色我不认为会看起来那么好，比如我开着一辆粉红色的车四处转悠!但这并不意味着我不喜欢粉色，它只是意味着我不会选择某些东西。

3. Are colours important to you?

Not really, no. I mean, I might take the colour into account when choosing something, like a shirt or pair of trousers, but you know, in the grand scheme of things, they're really not that important at all, especially compared with things like friends and family.

不是，不是。我是说，在选择衬衫或裤子之类的东西时，我可能会把颜色考虑在内，但是你知道，在一切宏伟的计划中，它们真的不那么重要，尤其是和朋友和家人相比。

4. Is colour very important to you when you're buying clothes?

Yeah, I suppose it kind of is, because certain colours tend to look better on me than others. For example, a lot of my friends have told me I look quite good in a white shirt, so I tend to favour that colour when I'm choosing a new shirt. And as well as this, I'll also consider the colours of the clothes I've already got, and maybe choose a colour which I don't already have.

是的，我想是的，因为某些颜色比我更好看。例如，很多朋友都说我穿白衬衫很好看，所以当我选择一件新衬衫时，我喜欢那种颜色。除了这个，我还会考虑我已经有的衣服的颜色，也许我会选择一个还没有的颜色。

雅思口语有用的APP话题

Describe a smartphone APP that you think is useful.

You should say:

what the app it is

what contents it has

how do you use it

and explain why you think this app is useful.

The App I would recommend is called Instapaper, which you can download from Apple Store.

Instapaper is one of those tools you didn’t know you needed until you use it. It’s my latest go-to tool for remembering and organizing what I want to read. I think this is useful coz I always find myself browsing the web and happening upon a story or two that I definitely want to read, but for whatever reason I just cannot read it at that particular moment. Most of this resort to saving it as a bookmark so you can read it later. But bookmarks are difficult to access on multiple computers.

Instapaper allows you to easily save them for later, when you do have time, so you don’t just forget about them or skim through them. While you’re browsing the web, when you find something you want to remember to read later to click a little icon in your web browser toolbar. That saves all of the text of the article. That’s Instapaper: the critically acclaimed, award-winning app to read web pages on the go, in the air, or on the couch.
