靠近水的活动雅思口语话题

想要提高雅思口语成绩，那么在平时的复习中，就要多练习各种各类的口语话题。练习的多了，可以帮助大家更好的理清思路，在口语考试中有更好的表现。

1.Why do so many people like going to places with water such as lakes, rivers or the ocean?

Well, going to places with water is a different and exciting experience. For one thing, travelers can swim in the rivers, lakes or oceans, which makes them very relaxing. For another thing, too much water makes the surface of water blue, which is beautiful and beneficial to the eyes.

2.What kinds of leisure time activities do people like to do in places such as on the ocean, at beach, at a river, at a lake etc.?

Well, many people like going to the seaside for a holiday, especially in summer. Some people are fond of swimming or diving, while others prefer stretching out on the beach for sunbathing. Still others are fishing lovers, so they enjoying go fishing by the river.

3.As a place to spend some leisure time, do you think the beach or the seaside is more suitable for children or for old people?

Well, I think the beach or seaside is more suitable for children than for old people. Firstly, children like something exciting and interesting. They can have great fun travelling to the seaside. Secondly, it is not very safe for old people to walk near river since they may have trouble with the eyes or feet.

4.Do you think children and old people do the same types of things when they go to a beach?

Well, I think they may do different things. Firstly, children like something exciting and interesting, so they may collect shells along the beach or swim in the river but old people like quietness so they may just stay away from the beach, enjoying the scenery. Secondly, children are active and they may run quickly and go surfing in the sea but old people may just walk along the beach.

5.What activities would you do if you were spending some leisure time at a beach or near the ocean?

Well, if I were spending some leisure time at a beach or near the ocean, I would do the following things. Firstly, I would walk along the beach and collect some beautiful shells. Secondly, I would go surfing in the sea with my husband, which is definitely great fun. When we feel tired, we can lie on the beach to enjoy the sunshine, listening to some light music.

雅思口语Computer话题

1.How often do you use a computer?

2.Which website do you often visit on the Internet?

3.Have you ever bought anything online?

4.Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer?

我们先来看几道非常常见和常规的题目，也是我们准备雅思口语考试一定会碰见的几道题。How often do you use a computer?Which website do you often visit on the Internet?Have you ever bought anything online?和一道与writing相关的一道题目叫做：Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer? 我们先聊一下思路。 一、提出误区：很多同学在遇到像electronic device这样的题目就比较紧张，觉得高科技的东西就一定也要用“高科技”的英文词汇去与之匹配，否则会显得自己很low，听到题目之后的第一反应就是在脑海里面去搜索和科技有关的一些名词，比如，programme，graphic，bug，realm name, null，hypertext这样的词。

说实话，若是可以合理运用到你的口语答题中去，并不是不行，但对于大多数学生来说仍然是有挑战的，对于part1里面关于computer的问题来说也是“杀鸡用牛刀”了。若是一味的强加上这样看起来很“洋气”，高bigger的词汇，只会使你的行文死板，不搭，甚至影响你的coherence。 二、解决思路：那我们该怎么样去处理这样的问题呢?我们要知道，在part1所接触到的一系列话题都与你的行为或想法产生联系，也就是General questions about you, 所以你需要做的第一点是要围绕自己来构建话题的答案，而非单单是对高科技产品或周边词汇的堆砌。 三、范例答案：我们可以拿第一个问题为例：How often do you use a computer?作为一个Information question来说，第一个要注意的就是how often，问的是频率。而并非单纯你拿电脑来做什么，在审题时这一点一定要注意。不要哐哐哐说了一大堆你用电脑做这个干那个，而忽略了时间。 语料补充：频度副词相对来说是有限的，我们需熟练掌握的有always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever, never等。更高阶一点的表达可以是constantly, frequently, occasionally,from time to time, rarely等。同时注意，对于回答How often…的题型以上的词却有些笼统，如果需要，我们应该做到更为准确地表达“次”的概念。比如every day，当然更好的表达是 on a daily/weekly basis!还有比如，once a week, twice a month, three times a year等等。

我们今天选择的这四个问题答案中，也会倾向去多使用这些表达，请同学们多加留意。 在确定了你必须要回答How often之后，剩下的才是我们用电脑干什么。由于这个问题其实非常接近我们的生活，我们每天用电脑，做的事情无非是浏览网页，搜索信息，打打游戏，看看电影，网上聊天，也有一些商务人士，可能需要收发邮件等等。其表达分别是

browse online/surf on the Internet/information high way, search online

play video games

watch movies on line/download some blockbusters to watch

chat with friends on QQ

check/receive/send e-mails等等。

最后，做到把a.自己 b.频率 c.事件串起来就可以了。 Sample answer: On a daily basis. I turn on my laptop every evening off class. I need to search some information related to what I learnt from school. In addition, I also browse online when I feel exhausted and look for some interesting things to relax. I occasionally download a few blockbusters to watch with my family, like twice a week, since the schedule in school is too tight, I’d like to use it both for my study and entertainment. 再来一发： Pretty much every day. There is a computer in my home and sometimes I use it to chat onlinewith my friends to relax. Also, I read the news frequently but I rarely play video gamesbecause I think it’s a waste of time. In addition, my family bought me a laptop because I needed it for my university. Now I stay in school on weekdays. So it’s quite convenient to have a computer so that I can keep in touch with my relatives and friends back home.

在这两个答案里，需要你突出你的行为，“computer”作为“I”的宾语并不需要喧宾夺主。但是关于电脑的日常表达也是同学们必须要补充的，同时注意如何处理how often这个题型。 同理，以我们自身的角度出发，来回答一下接下来的问题： Which website do you often visit on the Internet? Sample answer: I use a famous search engine in China called Baidu on a daily basis. I like this website because I can get access to almost everything I need like news, pictures,videos and maps, and I frequently read the news on it. I even set Baidu as my homepage. I guess this might be the most popular one in our country. The website is well- designed, everything is compact and clear so that I can click on whatever I want immediately. In addition, there are more and more advanced features like using the voice control instead of typing to search. It’s really fun and I use it from time to time now.

第三个问题 Have you ever bought anything online? Sample answer： Yes, I have. I actually buy some small daily items online from time to time, like clothes and snacks, and a few months ago I purchased a mobile phone online. I snapped it up from the official website so its quality is guaranteed just like in the physical shops. And it worked out very well, I received my brand new phone within 48 hours, and it works just fine. I saved a lot of time instead of comparing different types and prices buying it at the mall. So in all, it’s convenient and I’m quite satisfied.

第四个问题是今年的一个比较新的题目，4月之后的题库里面就一直有这个话题，其实是放在了Writing里面的，我们现在拿来把它说一说

Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer? Sample answer: I constantly write by hand since I’m still a student right now. I spend most of my time in school so I need to do a huge amount of school work and homework on a daily basis using pens or pencils. Teachers also check our handwriting in case we just doodle on papers. Actually I’m still working on it because of my poor handwriting. However, from time to time, I feel exhausted to write by hand. So when all the work has been finished, I frequently drop my pen and turn on my laptop to chat online. In addition, I’m always trying to memorize more shortcuts. I think using a keyboard to type is easier and a lot more fun.

雅思口语Photography话题

1. Do you like taking photos/pictures?

听到这个题目很多同学的常规思路是“喜欢拍照，因为有意思【I love taking photos because it is very interesting】”。这种答法非常普便，最大的缺点就是太笼统，细节太少，不符合雅思口语评分标准中 ‘speak at full length’的内在要求。

那么有没有比较有意思，新颖，丰富的答案呢?下面我们通过语料分析来拓展一下思路。

这个问题所能展开的语料点有两个：

一是like这个单词，我们可以有很多同义替换的词汇，比如love, enjoy, be crazy about, be fond of等等。

第二语料点就是taking photos/pictures,我们可以想一想是给人照相，还是给风景照相，这样我们在设计答语时，就会有两个可发散的方向。或者两者都涉及到以使答更加丰富。关于taking photos/pictures，我们还可以用特殊疑问词去展开叙述，比如what，用什么拍照，相机还是手机，where喜欢在哪拍照，山里还是海边，还有how often多久拍一次。

对于这道题目而言，很多同学会有这样一个疑惑，Do you like taking photos是给自己拍照还是给别人拍照。这里我们可以引入一个短语 take photo of…表示给……拍照。所以为了保险一点，我们理解为给别人或其他东西拍照是绝对不会产生误解的。当然如想表达给自己拍照可以说 take photo of myself. 此题所考查的语法点并不是很难，主要是like doing something这样一个固定搭配。同时有相同语法规则的词还有enjoy doing something, 大家在使用时注意这一点即可。

范例：Oh, yes, taking photos is my favorite activity to have fun. Every time when I travel with friends or family people to some places such as tourist attractions or parks, I’m sure to take my camera to take pictures of sceneries, people and even myself. I will save and copy these pictures to my computer. Then I sometimes use photoshop to process the pictures to make them look more beautiful. Of course, like a lot of young people, I also use smart mobile phone to have photos quite often. The most important reason why I enjoy doing this activity is that photos always remind me of the wonderful past life. I love it.

2. Would you like to take photos of others or be photographed?

这是一个非常经典的选择性的问答题，面对这样的题目，大部分同学还是可以很快做出选择的，例如很多人会说: I would like to take photos of others.但是后续思路的拓展难倒了很多人，比如为什么喜欢这样的做法。理由的补充是雅思口语考试中最重要的细节之一。所以这个题目的思路的新颖性需要体现在reason这个点上。

我们来进行一下语料分析。首先是Would you like的替换，除了I would like这个短语之外，我们还可以用I would prefer to do, I have my preference for doing,甚至I want to, I love to都是不错的，也可以用一些对比信号比较强烈的词组，例如这样的开头句，Compared with being photographed, I would prefer to take photos of others.

那么接下来，我们该如何展开reason呢?最好的办法，就是结合自己的个人情况：

有的同学说自己不上相，我们可以说他不够photogenic,如果这个单词有难度，就可以说I don’t look beautiful/cool/handsome in photo.因此不太喜欢被别人拍照。

与之相反，有的同学比较喜欢欣赏自己的美，就可以说，I feel really confident when seeing beautiful me in photos.甚至可以自嘲说Maybe I have narcissism,有点自恋。因此这样的同学可以选择说喜欢被照相。这里我们谈了较多被拍照的思路，

除此之外，我们也可以就take photos of others展开分析，photography摄影是一个相对专业一点的爱好，想要拍好照片需要一定的技术，所以我们可以考虑一下自己的特长和爱好，从而确定怎么去答题。假如我的摄影技术很差，就可以说Taking photos of others is a hard job for me and many of my friends say that I often make them look weird in photos, so I seldom take photos of others.总之，这个题目思路和语料的展开是非常灵活的，因为题目给我们提供了两个事件：拍和被拍。因此，对比是主题。

雅思口语History话题

1. Do you like to learn about history?

这是一道喜欢或者不喜欢类的题目，首先我们来学习一下表达‘喜欢’的语言，题目中的like可以替换成be interested in; be into; be fond of; 或者用I find something interesting.不喜欢除了用dislike以外，还可以替换成hate; loathe; be fed up with; be sick of.

关于这道题，通常情况下，我们会回答喜欢，或者不喜欢。注意，答案尽量以Yes, I do.的形式出现，而不是单独的yes。同时也可以替换成Yes, very much so; Yes, definitely; Yes, absolutely等表达。同样，否定的答案，可以用Not really; Not exactly; 或者是，No, it’s not my kind of thing来代替。

若该题目的答案是喜欢，那么我们需要在表明倾向后加以解释，通常是给出原因或例子。除了以上所讲到的历史的作用外，喜欢了解历史的原因还可以是：The historical events are very interesting【历史事件非常有趣】;It can make us wise【使人明智】等。

若回答不喜欢，则也须讲明原因，或者讲明不喜欢的地方在哪。这里推荐给考生一个加分的表达：to have a love-hate relationship with something,意思是说对某物或是某件事情既爱又恨。回想我们不喜欢历史的原因，可能更多的是因为我们不喜欢以背诵为主的历史考试，而非我们对历史事件真的不感兴趣。【I’m more interested in historical stories rather than in details of names, dates and places.】

范例1: Yes, very much so. I’d say history is my real love. You know, it’s easy for me to get lost while reading historical books or watching some documentaries. I find history very interesting, mainly because it helps me stretch my perspective across time and space to think about what happened in the past and how our ancestors experienced things.

范例2: Well, to be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with history, generally because I’m much into the stories and the insights it gives me into the past, but I’m really struggling in the history exams which are usually centered around dates, names and places.

2. Do you think history is important?

关于这道题目，相信我们大多数考生都会给出肯定的回答：历史是重要的。其原因可以是以下几点：

It allows people to understand how culture, politics, economy, society and values developed. 【它使得人们了解文化，政治，经济，社会以及价值是如何发展的】

History not only deals with the past but also with how the past led to the present. 【历史不仅是关于过去，还关于过去如何导致了现在】

It tells us what happened in the past, so that we avoid repeating mistakes. 【他告诉我们过去发生了什么，以帮助我们避免重复错误】

范例：Yes, I think so. History not only deals with the past, but also with how the past led to the present. So it allows people to understand how culture, politics, society and values developed. More importantly, since it tells us what happened in the past, we could avoid repeating mistakes.

3. Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?

了解历史的方式有很多，比如看电影，读书，看纪录片，参观历史景点，上历史课等。【There are many ways to learn about history, such as watching films, reading books, watching documentaries, visiting historical sites, and attending history classes. 】。至于哪一种才是了解历史最好的方式【the best way to learn history】，每个人心中的答案各不相同。

这道题目是问，我们是否可以通过看电影或者电视节目这种方式来了解历史。目前，我们的电影类型有很多，比如comedy【喜剧】，action movies【动作片】，science fiction films【科幻片】，martial arts films【功夫片】，romance films【爱情片】，war movies【战争片】等等，至于电视节目，种类更是繁多，常见的有reality shows【真人秀】，talent search【选人才节目】，talk shows【谈话类节目】，variety shows【文艺晚会】，sitcoms【情景喜剧】等等。这些影片或者电视节目多多少少的涉及了一些历史，然而它们的主要目的还是以娱乐和教育为主【entertaining and educational】，以讲述历史为目的还要属documentaries【纪录片】。

回到题目，这是一道是非疑问类的题目，我们的答案可以是肯定的，否定的或者不一定的。然而通过上面的分析，这道题目回答No或It depends可能更容易一些。原因可能是有些电影或是电视节目会根据剧情需要对历史进行改编【Some historical events might be rewritten by editors to satisfy the plot】，每部电影或者电视节目会站在各自不同的角度看待历史，我们容易受电影或节目中人物和剧情的影响【They may show the history from different perspectives, so that we are easy to be influenced by the characters and plots.】，因此我们并不总是能够从电影和电视节目中了解到历史，然而记录片除外，因为其涉及的内容主要是历史或科学【Documentaries mainly deal with history or science】。因此，从纪录片中，我们比较容易了解真正的历史。

范例：It depends. It depends on what the movie or program is. I mean, we usually watch some movies and TV programs in which some historical events are rewritten to satisfy the plots. In this case, I don’t think we can learn the real history. However, we may learn some from documentaries, which are particularly deal with historical issues or science.
