Describe a bad weather experience you have had.

You should say:

what sort of bad weather it was

when it happened

where you were when it happened

and explain how it affected you.

Well, I am from England, and in England, we love to talk about the weather! I can recall one particularly extraordinary day, when bad weather brought my city of Sheffield to a standstill. I am going to tell you what the weather was like, where I was when it happened and how it affected me I still shiver as I recall it!

I woke up on a December morning about four years ago and the first thing I noticed was that it was really really quiet. It is hard to describe if you have never experienced it, but after a thick snowfall, everything sounds different. The snow had fallen feet deep onto the ice, it was really treacherous even trying to walk in these conditions. Where I live in Sheffield, it is incredibly hilly. Snow ploughs had cleared the major roads, but this had exposed dangerous thick black ice underneath which was impossible to walk across. The combination of ice and steep slopes meant that I was sliding around everywhere and so was everyone else.

My normal walk to work would have taken me perhaps 30 minutes, but on this day it took over three times that long as I had to negotiate the tricky roads and paths. We stayed at work long enough to phone people to cancel appointments and confirm we were shut, and then I had the same long trek home in the snow again. I was exhausted by the time I got back!

It was quite an experience, it made me appreciate how much we should respect the elements. I felt safe at first because it was an urban environment, and usually, we don’t get much disruption due to bad weather there, but really the snow and ice made it unnavigable for the next few days.

雅思口语historical event话题

Describe an important historical event in your country.

You should say:

What the event was

when it happened

How you heard about it

And explain why this historical event is important.

话题任务分析：历史事件这个话题，实际上难度不大。我们从小到大一直都有学习历史课程。相信谈到重要的历史事件的时候，大家都会有很多的想法：辛亥革命、抗日战争、新中国成立、文化大革命、改革开放等等。这些事件本身就比较重大，考官作为外国人也有所耳闻。所以是大家答题时的首选。而一些相对较小的事件，如奥运会、和美国建交等等，一是考官不太熟悉;二是自己说清楚时需要很多的知识储备，考官因为不太熟悉，听起来也比较费力，所以不建议大家选择。答题重点：首先是要对几个历史事件要有比较准确的翻译如：新中国成立： The founding of the People’s Republic of China.抗日战争：The anti-Japanese war文化大革命： The Cultural Revolution

改革开放：the Reform and opening up

其次是时态：

中国考生常常会混用过去时和现在时，这一道试题在描述具体时间的时候，肯定是要使用过去时态的;但是在谈及具体影响的时候，可能就需要使用现在时，甚至是将来时态了。此外，回答一定要注意条理性，注意条理性，注意条理性。重要的问题说三遍!

It’s definitely the reform and opening up initiated by Deng Xiaoping soon after the end of the Cultural Revolution, which, I think is also very important but no match of this one. Anyway, the cultural revolution ended in 1976, and the reform and opening up was initiated in 1978. Of course I, like many other young people in China have learned, systematically a lot from our textbooks. But I didn’t realize its importance until I have read so many reports and books from various channels, some of them are from famous historians now living and teaching in American or British universities. Therefore the bulk of my understanding of it definitely comes from their reports, lectures, etc.

First of all, I want to put the reform and opening up back to the grand narrative of China since 3000 years ago when China first got its name The Empire of the Middle. Ancient Chinese believed that China, or my country, located at the center of the world. Well, this was a narrative, or legend, once held by many nations at the very beginning. However, due to the geopolitical uniqueness, China maintained this legend until the late 19th century when the British Empire and other modern countries invaded China since the 1840s. In no more than 20 years the legend was replaced by one miserable story after another of occupations, of exploitation, of territorial secession. And this strong sense of inferiority lasted for almost eighty or ninety years, until 1949 when Communist party brought the nation together again. And we used another three years to reach a peace deal the the United States in North Korea, and then its the Cultural Revolution. All those events caused a big problem of national identity: who are we? What’s the position of China in the world? We asked ourselves questions like this at that time. So there came Deng Xiaoping, a man who once studied in France in his early twenties. He opened the gate of China. He showed the Chinese people that we had been left behind by western countries. He told us, in an indirect way that our governance was not that successful compared to our capitalist enemies. So, what he did basically was to relocate China in this small planet.

The second reason, of course, is China’s economy. Back in 1978, when China’s top leaders were trying their best to dispose of the problems left by the Cultural Revolution, and nobody knows where China should go. It was Deng Xiaoping pointed out the way and said the economic development is the top task and the reform and opening up solved the problem of how to develop economy. And within ten years, well, twenty years, by the end of 1998, China’s economy was beyond anybody’s imagination. The key point is, no great public turmoil happened in these twenty years, I think this is the importance of the Reform and the Opening up.

雅思口语person important to society话题

Describe a person whose job is important to the society you should say: who this person iswhat job does he or she havehow you know this personand explain why his/her job is important to the society

A person you know had made a contribution to the society 【New】You should say:Who the person isWhat the person didHow did you know thatAnd explain why you think it is a contribution to the society

这道题的思路比较直接,也相对比较顺畅,人物是谁,工作是什么,为什么对这个社会很重要,略微转了一点点的是第三项how do you know this person. 所以不妨把顺序稍微调整一下.逻辑会更顺畅,是谁-怎么认识的-工作-原因. 雅思口语part2部分的点是可以调整顺序的，但切记不要丢点。

这道题的难点和容易发挥的点，其实不是谁或怎么认识的，而是job方面。

所以选材方面自然要选取自己比较熟悉的，job方面，同学们最熟悉的莫过于teachers。今天我们不妨就用这个烂俗的选材，来给出漂亮的答案。 无论是任何topic，越是general，大家反而不知道该说什么。相反越是具体反而是越容易描述。所以我们不妨把teacher具体一点。

第一个关键词 who，你可以说是your primary teacher Peggie，或者a teacher from the kindergarten I was in when I was 4 years old，named Peggie这么一比较很少有学生会选primary teacher，语言过于简单，因为没有具体支撑的细节信息。而且你自己引入了过去信息，时态上也会更加丰富;

当然你不要停在这里，要给出extra information，这是加分点。可以描述这位老师的外貌，性格，爱好，特点等等。而这些是描述人物题的基础方面。更好的方式是把这些有逻辑的串联起来。因为这些可以放在how you know her当中，是很好的你知道了解他甚至是很喜欢这个人的原因;

她的具体工作内容，可以采用总分的描述方式;记得分的部分要具体：教你某一种课，带你吃饭，哄你睡觉，陪你等家长等等routine affairs;

为什么他的工作对社会很重要，这个部分千万不要仅仅限定在这个人身上，而要更侧重这一类职业的人。作为educator，自然是teach and guide，而在enlightenment启蒙阶段，更是对一个人的personality and character方面起positive的作用。落脚在society. 这个地方可以引用中国的proverb“小时了了大未必佳”，小时了了，长大比较容易佳。这样下来一个思维严谨，逻辑通顺的part2就完成了。 I’d definitely like to talk about one of my teacher,Peggie, who I believe makes great contribution to our society by doing her own job. She is actually still working in the kindergarten I was in when I was 4 years old. Not only is she glamorous, has big eyes,always wears her hair in a pony tail and has a singbird-like voice, which is ,honestly, one of the main reasons that I’m incredibly attracted to her. but also she is extremely patient. What I’m saying is that I used to be really naughty and she never got angry with me or even annoyed。

In terms of her detailed working responsibilities，there are those routine affairs like teaching the handcrafting class,make sure the kids are well fed，and most importantly，guarantee the safety especially when a lot of running around are involved. Another duty of hers is to guide and teach the little fellows what to do and what not to.

So,the sole reason her job deem to be a great contribution to the community is that as an educator in the enlightenment period of one’s life, she contributes in shaping a good person, cultivating positive personalities and characters, delivering healthy ways of thinking and behaving. All these things make great men who dedicate to devote and give back to the society. There’s a Chinese saying goes ‘a clever boy doesn't bound to make a great man’. However I’d like to think ‘to make a great man, one better be well nurtured” of course I mean by his preschool teacher.

雅思口语Museums话题

1. Are there many museums in your city?

解析: 很多考生对国内的博物馆没有太多兴趣，所以对于这一块了解的并不多，但这并不影响我们回答问题。如果我们真的是一无所知，我们可以实话实说，但不建议一上来就说，Sorry, I don't know, because I never go to museums. I think museums are so boring! 当然坦白自己的心声并没有错，不过站在应试的角度，这个策略不太明智。我们知道西方国家有很多很棒的博物馆，而且很多老外来到中国很喜欢去参观我们的博物馆，可见他们对这事儿是挺有兴趣的。如果我们总是说我们学习好忙，那儿无聊浪费时间，这样的谈话就尴尬了是吧。其实我们就算不知道也可以编一些内容出来，考官并不会去真的求证，只要不是过分离谱就行。另外，很多人对于博物馆的认知就仅局限于历史类的，实际上种类繁多，有艺术的，电影的，音乐的，甚至是钢琴博物馆，也有科技类的，比如汽车，飞机，火车博物馆等，还有一些很有意思的，比如军事，包包，泰迪熊，礼服，分手恋人纪念品的博物馆等等。Sample answer：

I hear there's quite a few museums in my city and they are of various sorts, including history, art, science and technology and so on. It's a pity I haven't been able to visit each one of them. I bet they are fascinating.

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

解析：首先，当听到last time就应该意识到这是要考查过去式，动词要注意变型，答案跟问题的时态保持一致是很有必要的。回到本题，有少数同学真的从来没有去过博物馆，所以会回答，Sorry, I never go to museums，这个回答显然不够好，在这种情况下，我们可能就需要适当地编故事了，因为这样才能拓展出更多的内容，从而我们可以更好地展现自己的词汇和造句等语言功力。这只是考试的第一部分，不需要我们长篇大论，所以编故事也不难，只要简要交代一下时间【when】，地点【where】，涉及的人物【who】，去的原因【why】，所见所闻【what】，以及感受【feelings】或影响【influence】其中的几点就可以了。

Sample answer:

Actually, I just visited the Military Museum with my big cousin last weekend. He's a huge fan of things like battles and weapons, so he literally dragged me there. But to my surprise, the trip to the museum was indeed very enjoyable and rewarding.

3. Do you think museums are important?解析：相信绝大多数同学都会说重要，我们也不用为了刻意标新立异而非说不重要，然而很多人在解释why的时候都是说人们可以博物馆里学到很多历史或者知识，除此之外，站在一个城市甚至是一个国家的角度，博物馆也是很有意义的，它们是对历史文化艺术的一种保护【preservation】，除了可以教育当地的人民，有助于建立起一种自豪感【a sense of pride】，也可以对外起到一个很好的宣传和推广【promote】的作用，也可以促进不同地区和国家的文化交流和理解【enhance cultural communication and understanding】。

Sample answer:

I do think museums play a big role in our society. They enable people to open their eyes and enrich their knowledge. Not only that, they have the function of protecting and preserving local history and culture. Museums also help to enhance cultural communication.

4. Would you like to work in a museum in the future?解析：在这个问题上，很多考生又出现了高度的统一，他们一般会说，Of course not, because it's too boring! 好吧，为什么雅思口语的分数常常是5分左右呢，这就是其中的原因了。词汇方面，喜欢就说interesting，不喜欢就说boring，这都是超级common的用词，而评分标准里说得很清楚，对于lexical resources，要求uncommon vocabulary，所以大家平时要多练习造句，争取可以熟练使用我们背过的词汇，然后就可以在考场上脱口而出的是不一样的词汇。回到本题，其实说在博物馆工作boring，具体说来也就是这份工作相对而言不够挑战性【challenging】，每天的工作内容大同小异【same work routine】，而且薪水也不会太高，所以对于年轻人来说并不是太有吸引力【appealing】。此外，我们也可以说全职【full time】不考虑，但学生时期作为兼职【Part time】也是不错的。

Sample answer:

No, I wouldn't want to work in a museum as a full-job job. You know, I'm the kind of people who like to take challenges. Working the same routine day after day is just not my thing. But I wouldn't mind doing it as a part-time job while studying in college.
