描述一个你用想象力的时刻。

You should say:

What the situation was

Why you needed to use imagination

What the difficulties were

And explain how you felt about it.

Honestly, I had to admit that I am quite a down-to-earth person and barely either spend time imagining or day dreaming. However, every now and then in school life, imagination is life saver in remembering the knowledge, especially in the subject of History.

本段用到的单词&表达

down-to-earth adj. 实际的，务实的: practical, reasonable, and friendly

every now and then偶尔，有时 sometimes but not often

Indeed,envisaging images and actions inside my head based on the story or series of events in the book enabled me to acquire new things way more efficiently. For instance, in the time of learning about the history of chocolate, by using the technique of imagination, just like making a movie inside my head, I could remember quickly a quite enormous knowledge and can still recall today.

I can tell you that wild chocolate trees can grow easily in the humid Amazon rainforest. Clusters of flowers from these trees turn to seeds. Approximately 20 to 60 cacao beans, which are the ingredient needed to create sweet, soothing and delicious chocolate treats, can be found in the seeds. The Mayan and Aztec cultures both thought that chocolate trees are brought from paradise by God. They used the bean from this divine tree to create a special beverage with a very pleasant odor. Gradually, the treats and drinks made of these beans become prominent and millions of people around the world adore it as the most delicious sweet ever.

雅思口语Technology话题

1. What can smartphones do these days?

思路：

智能手机在我们的生活中已经非常常见了，因此出现在雅思口语的话题当中也不足为奇，关于智能手机可以用来干些什么，其实我们只要稍微梳理一下我们平时使用手机的习惯和目的，就可以很好地将这个回答整合出来了。在今天提供的示范答案中，强烈建议同学们根据自己的情况进行增减和改善。

同时，很多同学应该记得在part 2当中有一个非常高频的话题叫做describe a smartphone app，要求我们描述一个智能手机上的应用。这个题目持续了很长时间，但是同学们在回答本part 3的问题的时候，千万注意不要跑偏，可以略微带一带“应用”的内容，但是不可以把整个重心变成说某一个app;同时，虽然智能手机有很多高大上的功能，但是如果我一时半会儿想不起来怎么组织语言，那么从最基本的功能入手，略微讲解一下发短信【send text messages】或者是打电话【make phone calls 】，都是可以的。

示范答案：

Well, smartphones are, after all, phones, so they can basically meet all the expectations we should have for ordinary mobile phones. That is to say, we can still use a smartphone to send text messages or make phone calls. However, smartphones are more than that. For example, we can use a wide range of smartphone applications, which have all kinds of functions, from offering discounts tohelping us keep fit. Besides, smartphones can always access internet, which means we can search literally for everything at anytime with smartphones. This sounded like science fiction in the past, but offers great convenience at present.

2. Since most people do their work on computers, why do they still need to go to the offices?

思路：这个题目是这样子的，它预设了一个场景，就是“大多数人都使用电脑工作了”，然后引出问题;如果这是一个其它考试当中的思辨类的写作题目，我个人会建议老老实实按照题设去写，但是对于我们雅思口语这样一个着重考察交流能力的项目，我们完全没有必要被题目所禁锢住。我们需要保证自己的答案有逻辑、有落脚点、细致明确即可。我们尝试着按照下面的思路步骤来：首先即使大部分人都使用电脑工作了，那么极有可能他们有很多其它工作是需要跟同事合作完成的、需要面对面的解决的;即使没有需要面对面解决的工作问题，办公室也提供了一个专门的工作场所，比在家里要专业、方便的多，并且对于部分人来说，家是一个放松的地方，并不合适拿来办公。最后，我们甚至可以破除题目本身的设置，摆出事实：就是确实已经有不少人能够做到远程办公，或者弹性工作时间了。这样一来，这个part 3的答案还是可以有不少内容说的。

示范答案：

Well, I have to say, although computers can help us work out most problems, there are still many things, which need to be discussed face-to-face, so offices provide an ideal place for colleagues to meet and consult with each other. Besides, for some people, homes are very cozy and private places, not suitable for working, so they would rather commute to offices than bring work home, even though digital technologies have made remote workingavailable. Having said those, a trend of working from home as well as working flexible hours has become increasingly more popular. I think this should be attributed to the use of computer technology.

雅思口语Learning things话题

1. Why do people give up their hobbies?

思路解析：

很多情况下 in most cases, 人们放弃自己的hobbies往往是因为没时间，或者没有人陪着，一个人坚持不下去了。也有因为工作压力太大，没有精力分给hobbies。当然我们还可以继续分析什么样的人非常需要hobbies， hobbies给我们的带来的益处之类的延展内容来做到speak at length

对于这种原因分析类型的题一定要做到客观的分析，要做到客观就必然会涉及到很多情况下，一些情况下，还有一些情况下之类分布，所以要比较全面，如果只从一个角度解释，内容就会比较单一，很难延展话题内容。

参考词汇：

lack of time缺少时间

accompany陪伴

overwhelm压倒，淹没

take for granted想当然

average person普通人

示范答案：

In most cases, people give up their hobbies for lack of time, sometimes they need someone to keep them accompanied. They feel overwhelmed at a job ，even do not have enough time for work ,so they take for granted that no time for hobbies. However, people with full, busy, even stressful lives may need hobbies more than the average person, and benefit greatly from having hobbies in their lives. Hobbies bring many benefits that usually make them more than worth the time they require.

2. What are the difficulties that people may have to continue to learn something?

思路解析：

很多人都很难坚持去学某一样东西的， 这个难是哪些方面的问题引起的呢?最大的可能就是他们在学习过程中遇到了挫折或者失败，或者他们所收获的和所期待的不一致，绝大部分人就会因为这种原因感到自信息和自尊心受挫，所以会轻言放弃。

这个题当然也可以用lack of time , stress from work之类的原因来继续补充和扩展，但是一定要先分析出每一个问题的最主要的原因，之后在作出其他的补充和扩展。否则在考场上会容易出现跑题或者没有答出实质内容之类的情况，跑题必然会非常影响成绩，而答案没有实质内容，一堆空话或者无法扩展话题也同样会对成绩造成很大影响。

参考词汇：

continue to do持续做某事

confront面临，面对

setback退步

failure n. 失败

expectation期待

self-esteem自尊

impaired受损的

quit放弃

示范答案：

When people continue to learn something ,they will have to confront many setbacks and failures from time to time ,if they can’t see the improvement or the results failed to meet their expectation ,their confidence and self-esteem get impaired, they may quit.

3. What do you think of online learning?

思路扩展：

很多学生第一反应会冒出一个词convenient， 请仔细听题，你怎么看待网络学习，不只是说到好处，还应该讲到适合人群，这是有选择性的，好处除了方便，你完全可以解释如何给你的学习带来了便利，比如学习方式上，学习成本上，学习时间上等。

参考词汇：

majority of ~~大量的

semester学期

constraint限制

transportation costs交通费用

resources资源

accessible可得到的，易理解的

示范答案：

I think it's great; although it's not for everyone, and obviously every subject. Typically, I'm able to take more units when I have the majority of my semester classes online, due to physical time constraints, as well as, saving transportation costs. We can learn anything in anytime we want, we don't have to go to class or have our teacher right there. There are resources to help you. So I think it's very useful, convenient and accessible.

4. Do you think learning materials on the Internet are reliable?

思路解析：

网络学习资料很难绝对的说可靠或者不可靠，因为网络上没有专门监督这方面的管理体制，我们只能靠这些资料的来源来判断，是否是权威机构，是否是可靠地来源，从这个方面去判断我们所学习的资料的可靠性。

对于part 3的题要站在一个中立的角度去分析，这种方法的好处在于逻辑性强，思路清晰，并且可以保证做到speak at length

参考词汇：

reliability可靠性

crucial关键的

monitor监督

authority权威，官方

that’s to say也就是说

verify核实，证明

origin起源

示范答案：

Judging the reliability of sources found on the Internet is crucial because there is no regulating body that monitors the reliability of what is on the Internet. We need to give some thoughts to where we found it, whether the person who put it on the Internet is a reliable authority on the subject. That’s to say, we have to verify the origin of resources.
