雅思口语pet话题

雅思口语考察同学们的英语交流能力，同学们在备考阶段可以注意多积累素材，平时多模仿多练习，这样在考试中才不至于无话可说哦。

1. Do you have a pet?

Yeah, I have a pet dog, a super adorable teddy dog. She's 2 years old now. And she's like a little sister to me.

没有，但是想有。然后解释为啥没有的原因：

No, but I've always wanted one. I'm a cat person, and I'm dying to have a Ragdoll, a British Shorthair or a Scottish Fold. They are so fluffy and just like a ball of fur.

But my mom won't allow it, 'cause she thinks they are heavy shedders, and none of us have the time to groom them or keep the rooms clean and tidy.

No, 'cause I'm allergic to dogs and cats. I just won't stop sneezing when they come too close to me, but I have to say, they are really cute to look at, I mean, with all those fluffy fur and adorable paws.

没有，也不想有：

No, they always bring back horrible memories from my childhood. I've been attacked by a fierce homeless dog / cat, so I was kind of traumatized. Since then, I just couldn't stand the sight of dogs/cats, not even the cute little ones.

其实宠物不光有猫狗，常见的pet还有：turtle, rabbit, hamster, fish, snail, snake, spider等等。如果有的话就对号入座吧~

语言点解析：

be dying to do / for something = to want something or want to do something very much例如：

I'm dying for a glass of water.

I'm dying to know what happened.

heavy shedder = a kind of animal that loses its fur naturally and heavily例如：

How often does a snake shed its skin?

trees that shed their leaves in autumn

groom = to clean or brush an animal例如：

The horses are all well fed and groomed.

2. What is your favorite animal?

可以说个不现实的、不能做为宠物养的，甚至是已经灭绝的例如dinosaur...

Well, definitely giant pandas, but unfortunately, I couldn't keep one as my pet.

如果你不是个animal lover也无所谓，挑个相对来说比较喜欢的就行了：

Well, to be honest, I don't have a favorite kind of animal, but if I have to choose one, then maybe cats/spiders, 'cause they are usually pretty cute/cool.

3. Do you think it's good to keep a pet at home?

这道题的答案就比较老生常谈啦，咋想咋说就行：

Yeah, especially when there're small children at home, it's a good way to develop their sense of responsibility, you know, 'cause they need to take care of the pet, like feed them and groom them, which actually takes a lot of efforts.

Oh, and also pets can be a perfect companion to senior citizens, especially to those who have lost their spouse, pets can be a great comfort.

语言点解析：

efforts = the physical or mental energy that you need to do something; something that takes a lot of energy例如：

You should put more effort into your work.

It's a long climb to the top, but well worth the effort.

Getting up this morning was quite an effort. 【= it was difficult】

companion = a person or an animal that travels with you or spends a lot of time with you例如：

travelling companions

Fear was the hostages' constant companion. 【figurative】

comfort = a person or thing that helps you when you are suffering, worried or unhappy例如：

The children have been a great comfort to me through all of this.

It's a comfort to know that she is safe.

4. Are there any disadvantages of keeping a pet?

Yeah, I guess. Um...one of the most common complaints I heard from those people who have pets is that pets like dogs and cats tend to wreck things at home, like furniture or slippers. They are like little troublemakers who always make a mess. And you just need to clean up after them.

And another downside is that pets tend to have a shorter lifespan, which means we have to accept the fact that they wouldn't be able to keep us company forever. And when that day arrives, it would be heartbreaking.

语言点解析：

clean up = to remove dirt, etc. from somewhere例如：

I'm always having to clean up after the children 【= clean the place after they have left it dirty and untidy】.

lifespan = the length of time that something is likely to live, continue or function例如：

Worms have a lifespan of a few months.

雅思口语weather and seasons话题

1. What do you think are the disadvantages of raining?

解析：

本题问的是下雨不好的地方是什么。从我们每天的生活来看，如果下雨的话，出行会变得不方便，尤其是走路的时候，衣服鞋子很有可能湿掉，如果忘记带伞就更惨了。除此之外，如果降雨过大可能会毁坏我们的基础设施，或者一些农田庄稼，导致经济方面的损失。另外，下雨可能会限制一些活动的进行，比如一些生产活动，或者我们的一些日常活动，也都有可能因为降雨而取消。

I think there are several disadvantages of the rain. First of all, it might bring some inconvenience to our daily life. When it rains, it’s kind of messy to go out. Your clothes and shoes might get dirty and wet, and driving becomes tricky because you could not see so clearly. Some activities need to be cancelled because of the rain as well, like some outdoor activities or some production procedures. What’s more, even the rain is usually good news to the crops, too much of it can be dangerous to them. If the things people grow have too much water than they need, they would wither and the farmers would suffer economically.

2. Can you give any examples of unusual weather in your hometown?

解析：

本题要求大家举一些自己家乡不寻常天气的例子，所以重点在于不寻常。不寻常有两种情况，第一种是极少出现的天气出现了，比如广州下雪了，这个一定是非常不寻常且让人印象深刻的;第二种是这个天气经常会出现，但是某一次程度格外不常见，比如东北经常下雪，但是某一次下了百年不遇的大雪，我们也完全可以说这是不寻常的。因为大家家乡的天气情况千差万别，实在是没有办法给出能为所有人提供参考的内容，所以我们这里就以刚才举的例个例子作为范例，供大家参考思路和表达。

范例1广州下雪

My hometown is Guangzhou, and it’s almost in the far south of China, so it is very warm even in the winter, and it never snows. But, it snowed last year and it was huge. The snow was actually quite light, and you can barely gather it, but the whole city went crazy and we all went out to feel it. Some people made a teeny tiny snowman on the hood of the car and took photos of it, which soon became meme on the internet. All the people from the north were saying that it was the smallest snowman they had ever seen. Anyway, we loved it.

范例2东北下大雪

There was a really heavy snow in my city a couple of years ago, which was rare. Actually it is quite cold in winter in my hometown, and it snows every year, but it was always acceptable. But one year, around the new year, the snow lasted for over 40 hours and it was literally waist-deep when it stopped. You could not drive, and you could barely walk on the road, the whole city was trapped. But I kind of liked that snow, because the school stopped for a couple of days, and I really needed some rest.

3. Do you like the changes of the four seasons?

解析：

你是否喜欢四季的变化呢?有的人喜欢在不同的季节里做不同的事情，可以穿不同风格的衣服，也有的人喜欢一年四季都差不多的季节，这样变化比较小，不需要去适应，也不需要做出太大的改变，也会比较舒服。无论你支持的是哪一方的观点，只要能够清晰地表达自己的意思，并且给出合理的解释，就可以哦。

范例1喜欢四季变化

I have never lived in a place that has similar seasons, but I am sure that I prefer 4 different seasons. First of all, I can wear different clothes, which is very important and very interesting. I guess I like to see the changes because I like to feel the time and the season. When it is always the same, then you forget about it sometimes. For instance, you only remember to praise the summer when the spring is about to end or the autumn is about to start. The changes of the seasons remind me how time flies and how precious and lovely time is.

范例2不喜欢四季变化

I do not like the changes of the four seasons. In fact, I prefer to live in a place that has only one mild comfortable season. If I want to experience the difference of the seasons, I prefer to do that when I travel. I do not like too many changes in my life, because I have to react accordingly and it is just too much trouble.

雅思口语与亲友常去之处话题

Today, I’m going to share with you a place I often go visit with my friends. It is a small café near my home named ‘ABC’.

Though it is just five-minute walk to my home, it was actually my friend Lily who took me there for the first time. I remember that day, when the two of us were both worn out after a tiring day of school, Lily suggested we took some time off to relax ourselves. And, that’s why we ended up in that small café.

As a full-time student, I have to go to school 5 days a week. Therefore, the time left for me to visit this lovely place and spend some leisure time with my friends is mostly weekends. Fact is, my friends and I have made it a habit to visit this small café every Saturday night, and we usually go there by bike.

This small coffee house is located on a quiet street with a lot of trees planted on both sides. It also has a patio with hanging gardens which I like very much. Every time I sit reading there, it somehow makes me feel that I’m sitting in a tranquil paradise of my own. Separated from the hustle and bustle of city life, this small café allows me to ponder quietly, taking some precious time off to relax myself after a week of hard work. Here, I can concentrate on doing a personal project to writing diaries without being interrupted by other people.

Except for its peaceful environment, this café also serves great coffee and cakes. The employees working there are all very nice, showing appropriate waiting manners. In fact, I have already made friends with a lot of them, given the fact that I am no strange face to their shop.

As I said, I go there a lot with my friends. Over a nice cup of coffee, we get to share our little stories with nice scent around. At moments like that, we can escape from reality for a little while and enjoy ourselves.

雅思口语家族企业话题

Describe a family business you know 【new】

You should say:

What the business it

How you know it

What products it sells

Who the customers are

And how you like it

雅思口语part2范文

The LUCRATIVE SMALL-SCALE business that I'd like to talk about today is a boutique that I patronize, named "She Loves".

我今天想谈的利润丰厚的小型企业是一家我光顾的精品店，取名为“她爱”。

As a fashion shop, it sells an array of women's wear and specialize in dresses and blouses. Although they're not tailor-made clothes, customers can almost always find an outfit that fits them at "She Loves" because the shop will have the clothes adjusted, free of charge - I should add. There's also a range of chic accessories such as clutch purses and belts.

作为一家时尚商店，它出售一系列女装，专门设计服装和女衬衫。虽然他们不是定制的衣服，但顾客几乎总能找到一套适合他们的衣服，因为商店会把衣服调整好，免费——我应该补充一下，还有一系列时髦的配饰，比如手包和腰带。

If I'm not mistaken, "She Loves" has been up and running for 2 years. What I find impressive about the shop is that within such a short period of time, its sales figures have soared and its business profile has been enhanced significantly. Its Facebook has at least 350.000 followers and there are hundreds of orders per month from different areas in the country. What's more, the shop's always packed with people shopping or browsing.

如果我没记错的话，“她爱”已经启动并运行了2年。我对这家商店印象深刻的是，在如此短的时间内，它的销售数字大幅上升，其业务状况也得到了显著改善。它的Facebook至少有350.000名关注者，每个月有数百个来自不同地区的订单。更重要的是，商店里总是挤满了购物或浏览的人。

I knew about the shop by random, seeing its banner ad when surfing the net. Captivated by the dresses advertised, I clicked on the ad and have visited its website at least once a week out of a habit since then. Also, I drop by the physical store more than twice a month, especially when there are new arrivals.

我随意地知道这家商店，在网上看到它的横幅广告。我被广告上的裙子迷住了，我点击了广告，从那以后，每周至少访问一次它的网站。此外，我每月都会在实体店购物超过两次，尤其是在新到的时候。

If I had to give an explanation for my liking for the shop, I'd definitely say that I'm really content with the various products, plus the enthusiasm of the staff there. Despite being a family business, to my surprise, the shop operates really professionally. Besides, as it's a clicks-and-motar business, I can conveniently do the shopping right at home. "She loves" is surely always on the list of my favorite boutiques.

如果我必须解释一下我对这家商店的喜爱，我肯定会说，我对各种各样的产品都很满意，再加上那里员工的热情。尽管我是家族企业，但令我惊讶的是，这家店的运作非常专业。此外，由于这是一个“点击”和“motar”的业务，我可以方便地在家里进行购物。“她爱”肯定总是在我最喜欢的精品店的名单上。
