雅思口语美食话题

1. Do you like chocolate?

Yeah I love chocolate! I think it tastes great, and I have to control myself when I start eating it coz it’s just so difficult to stop, if you know what I mean! So yeah, you could say I’m a bit of a chocoholic!

是的，我喜欢巧克力!我觉得味道很棒，而且当我开始吃它的时候我必须控制自己，因为很难停止，如果你明白我的意思的话!所以，你可以说我有点巧克力味!

2. How often do you eat chocolate?

If I’m gonna be truthful with you I’d say pretty much every day, which I know is not the most healthy of habits, but I just can’t help it! You know, I always keep a stock of chocolate at home, and I’ll normally have some after lunch or dinner, cos it’s just a really nice way to finish off a meal.

如果我对你说实话，我几乎每天都会说，我知道这不是最健康的习惯，但我就是忍不住!你知道，我总是在家里储备一些巧克力，我通常在午餐或晚餐后吃一些，因为这是吃完一顿饭的好方法。

3. What’s your favourite flavor?

I guess it would have to be milk chocolate, simply because for me it tastes the best! I know that dark chocolate’s meant to be, like, the healthiest and all that, but it has a kind of bitter taste to it. And white chocolate’s a little bit too creamy for me, so I normally always go for milk chocolate.

我想那一定是牛奶巧克力，因为对我来说味道最好!我知道黑巧克力的意思是，像是最健康的和所有的，但是它有一种苦味。而白巧克力对我来说有点太奶油了，所以我通常都会吃牛奶巧克力。

4. Is chocolate expensive in China?

I think it really kind of depends on what chocolate you’re talking about, because there’s a lot which is made here in China that’s pretty cheap. For example, you can get a small bar of chocolate for only a few RMB, which I think’s pretty reasonable.

我想这要看你说的是什么巧克力，因为中国有很多便宜的巧克力。举个例子，你只需要几块人民币就能买到一小块巧克力，我认为这很合理。

But if you want really nice chocolate imported from places like Belgium and Switzerland, then it’s pretty expensive. I mean, you’re looking at, like, a hundred RMB for a box, something like that.

但是如果你想从比利时和瑞士等地方进口巧克力，那就太贵了。我的意思是，你看，比如说，一百元一个盒子，诸如此类。

雅思口语自行车话题

1. Do you ever ride a bicycle?

Yeah I do, but not that much anymore, because I’m living on campus at the moment. So everything’s pretty close to me, and I don’t really need a bike to get around.

是的，但现在没那么多了，因为我现在住在校园里。所以一切都离我很近，我真的不需要自行车四处走动。

2. How old were you when you first learned to ride a bicycle?

It was quite a while ago – let me have a little think! Um……I suppose I must have been about 5 or 6 when I first learned, but I honestly couldn’t tell you for sure, because I simply can’t remember! But I think I was pretty small, so five or six sounds about right.

那是很久以前的事了——让我想一想吧!嗯……我猜我第一次学习时大概已经5到6岁了，但我实在不能肯定地告诉你，因为我简直记不起来了!但我认为我很小，所以五或六听起来是对的。

It was quite a while ago = it was quite a long time ago

I suppose I must have been about 5 or 6 = I think I was about 5 or 6 【“must have been” is like the past tense of “should”】

那是很久以前的事了。

我想我一定是大约5或6岁 =我大概是5或6【“一定是”】就像“应该”的过去时。

3. Are bicycles popular in China?

Yes they are. They’re incredibly popular! You know, if you go out onto any street in China, the chances are you’ll see a lot of bikes. And I guess the reason for this is that they’re the cheapest way to get around, apart from walking of course, but that’s a lot slower!

是的。他们非常受欢迎!你知道，如果你去中国的任何一条街道，你很可能会看到很多自行车。我猜，这样做的原因是，除了走路之外，它们是最便宜的走路方式，但是走路要慢得多!

雅思口语广告话题

1 Are there any TV channels in your country that don’t have adverts?

Loraine: No … they’re all commercial channels and show adverts all day long … too many really … and there’s also a lot of product placement going on … especially in soap operas where they place an item just behind the actors.

2 Do you enjoy watching adverts on TV?

Karin: No … not really … I hate commercial breaks during a film … it really spoils the flow … and during prime time viewing they seem to squeeze even more ads in than usual … celebrity endorsements also get on my nerves … everyone knows they’re only doing it because they’re getting paid.

3 What are the best ways for ordinary people to advertise something they want to sell in your country?

Marianne: The simplest way is to place an advert in something like the classified ads section of a local paper … or there’s the Internet of course … there are lots of sites like eBay where you can buy and sell things online.

4 What is it that makes an advert effective?

Spencer: Well … when a company launches a product they have to consider the Internet … especially how it can be used to spread the word on social media … so in this context a video that goes viral is probably the most effective type of advert you could make.

5 What are the advantages to companies of advertising on the Internet rather than TV?

Stelios: I’d imagine the main advantage is you can reach your target audience much more effectively … if you bring out a niche product for example … or you have a tight advertising budget … you can advertise on particular sites that the people you want to reach visit … that’s not something you can do on TV.

6 What things do advertising companies do that might give it a bad name?

Raol: For me the most irritating is cold calling … we must get two or three of these every day at work … then there’s junk mail that gets posted through the letterbox … and of course the online equivalent of this … spam emails … I think it’s this kind of advertising that tends to annoy people.

7 Are advertisements important?

Definitely, yes. Advertisements bring out the idea of the new products and their features in a nut shell. They prove to be beneficial for both the customers and the company. But, with advertisement market rising up, I think companies have learnt the art of deceiving the customers as well. You can easily find products being depicted as something else in the advertisements. Also, with so many ads coming in, it becomes quite difficult and overwhelming for the customer to choose the product. Having said that, I think advertisements are vital but then there should be more truth to them than flashy statements.
