雅思口语镜子话题

2. Have you ever bought mirror?

Surely, I have to say that I can't live without a mirror. From time to time I need to check my makeup and how I look in front of others. I think caring about your own image is a kind of showing respect to others.

3. Would you use mirrors to decorate rooms?

Yes, I will. Before buying a mirror, I think I need to assure that I look elegant and tidy. In this case, I need to make a good preparation.

雅思口语Boat话题

1. Do you often travel by boat?

题目解析：

first of all, travel有两种意思，出行和旅游，那么我们都在什么时候会坐船出行呢?试想住在意大利的威尼斯【Venice】或者云南水乡【watery place/region】的同学的日常出行除了坐船可能也并没有其他选择【other choices/alternatives】，船是不可或缺【indispensable】的交通方式。这道题给肯定回答的话同学们要注意，千万不要说完自己的家乡is just like Venice之后就so, you know～～～考官可能会直接给你一个"NO I DON'T"【不要问老师是怎么知道的，都是泪】我们的答题原则是话一定要讲清楚!讲清楚!讲清楚!【重要的话说三遍】后面依然需要解释一个watery place就是一切城市设施【facilities】都建在水上【above water】而不同于普通的城市，并没有所谓的"路"【there are no so-called "roads"】，这样才算讲清楚了。

那么相信更多的同学可能都不会把船当成日常出行的主要交通工具【means of transport】吧，所以先要强调出行目的是旅行，可以用到go on a long journey【进行一次长途旅行】或者go on a trip【没有强调长途的旅行】这些表达。而在旅行途中我们需要坐船的场合【occasion】也无非是在游览景区的水域【go sightseeing on a lake/down the streams,】时，其他时候选择搭乘飞机或火车【take a plane/train】会帮我们节省掉很多时间【save somebody a lot of time】。

Actually I would say yes, taking a boat is like the indispensable transport in my daily life, because I live in a watery place in the south-west of China, which is just like the Venice. We go everywhere by boat since the all the houses and facilities are built above water, there are no so-called "roads". So speaking of travelling to another place, I don't really have any alternative but taking a boat.

Not really, mostly when I go on long journeys, apparently it saves me more time to travel by plane or train. When I need to go somewhere nearby my location, I prefer to drive there or take a bus. Actually I can't think of any occasion when taking a boat could be a preferable mean of transport, unless you want to go sightseeing around a lake or down the streams etc., which does not happen on most of my trips.

2. Would you like to go on a boat tour?

题目解析：

看到boat tour这么诱人的字眼同学们是不是都跟老师一样第一个想到了史诗级"灾难片"【误】Titanic了呢!豪华游轮行【luxurious cruise tour】一直都是本老【bao】师【bao】的梦想呢。cruise tour最大的好处不外乎可以看到如海上日落【sunset on the sea】这样独特的美景【beautiful scene/view】了。如果嫌beautiful太烂大街，可以用gorgeous, stunning, magnificent等来替换。当然，只要不像电影里一样撞冰山【crash with an iceberg】就是一种很美妙的旅行体验了。当然，boat tour还包括游江湖河流【boating on a river/lake/down the streams】，看着沿途的山水风景【while gazing at the mountains and forests along the way】也是不错的体验。

连boat tour都不喜欢?那你一定是晕船【get seasick easily】了。注意seasick是形容词，按照汉语的语法说I have seasick甚至I seasick都是错的。晕船的确很惨，可能会吐【throw up/puke/vomit】很久。这种糟糕的体验可以用一句it was a nightmare来总结。

Yes, definitely! I've been longing for a cruise tour for ages since I watched the film Titanic, it looked so cool and luxurious to be on a ship with restaurants, bars and everything on it. Also, you can enjoy the gorgeous sunset on the sea, so I think cruising is the best way to travel as long as the ship doesn't crash with an iceberg like what happened in the film.

No, not really. I get seasick easily, so staying on a boat for too long is absolutely not a good idea for me. I still remember that I had a 30-minute boat tour when I was travelling on LIJIANG river and kept throwing up for 10 minutes afterwards, it was a nightmare.

3. Where in your country do people most often use/travel by boats?

题目解析：

比较常规的思路当然是沿海地区【coastal areas】的人们更有机会【have more chances/opportunities】乘船出行，普通市民可以出海游玩【have a boat tour on the sea】，宏观来讲，船只对于城市的作用自然是港口【habour】运输，"通过船来运输"可以直接用动词ship来表达，货物大家都知道是goods，"在港口之间"介词用between/from/to都是可以的。在一些沿海大城市很多人都有自己的游艇【yacht】，而且港口对于进出口【import/export goods】也是至关重要的【important/significant/indispensable】。注意import跟export都是及物动词，后面一定要跟名词，不能什么都不跟。如果不想重复goods的话跟一个things/stuff也是可以的。

Perhaps people who live in coastal cities have more chances to travel by boats. Obviously, it's easier for them to have a boat tour on the sea or ship goods from/to other habours. For instance, in my hometown, a lot of people even have their own yachts. Plus, there are quite a few habours which are significant means of importing and exporting stuff.

There're lots of watery places in the south-west of China, which are just like the Venice. For people there, taking a boat is like the indispensable transport in their daily lives. They go everywhere by boat since the all the houses and facilities are built above water, there are no so-called "roads". So speaking of travelling to another place, they don't really have any alternative but taking a boat.

雅思口语Meals话题

1. Which meal do you prefer, lunch or dinner?

解题思路：

对于meal的题常常会让考生讨论自己更喜欢哪一餐，但是很多考生很纠结到底应该选择哪一餐，也不知道该怎么去说，可能就直接会回答：“I have no idea which one I will choose“。然后等待考官继续发问。其实考生不用太纠结说哪一餐更好，只要可以说出相应的原因就可以了。

如果说自己更喜欢享用午餐，理由可以是整天学习或工作中间自己可以休息的一点儿时间，因为整天都会待在学校或办公室里。我们就可以说：

I like lunch better. That’s usually the one meal where I have a little bit of time. It’s also the one where I tend to go out because of being at university or office all day.

那么如果选择晚餐，理由可能会更加的丰富，比如说：忙碌了一整天终于可以坐下来享受美食，真是天堂般的待遇。还可以与午餐做比较，因为我们还有很多事要在剩余的半天完成，所以午餐就特别的匆忙，没时间好好享受食物。那么我们就可以回答：

I would say dinner. Because dinner is the last meal of the day, and we are all tired out from a whole day of work or study, and finally sit down and have a nice meal, it’s just heavenly. Lunch is often too hasty to be enjoyable, since we still have a lot to do for another half day.

参考内容：

另外，我们可以对于形容食物好的词语进行替换，比如说：tasty, nice, amazing, awesome等等，这样就可以避免考生们在形容食物的时候经常会用到的delicious这个词。

2. Which meal of the day do you think is most important?

解题思路：

大多数考生对于这道题的回答都会是breakfast. 因为很多健康指南上都说到：“早餐是一天当中最重要的一餐。“当然只说这样一句是不够的，原因还是要解释。我们可以讲每天早晨从sweet dream美梦中醒来有一整天的事儿等着我们去做，那么一顿健康的早餐可以为我们的一天来pump up打打气，所以早餐是一天中最重要的。我们可以这样回答：

I think it would be breakfast. That’s how they say on every health guide, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Apparently you just wake up from your sweet dream and a whole day of work awaits you, it’s very important to have a healthy breakfast to pump you up for the day.

参考内容：

当然，有些考生会比较愿意说午餐或晚餐，那么原因就可以借鉴我们之前提到的用中午空闲的时间来休息，或者说完成了一天的工作犒劳自己一顿丰盛的晚餐，这样会对于心情的调整更加重要等等这样的理由。

3. What do you usually eat for breakfast or lunch?

解题思路：

如果对于这道题考生提前准备了相关食物的内容会更好，如果没有搜集到食物的名称，最好找自己会说的内容来讲，例如说eggs, bread, milk等等。而不是一定要按照自己的实际情况来讲不会的词语，有些考生想说“豆腐脑”，“油条”之类的内容，如果没有这些表达，不仅会影响了流利程度而且还自我提升了本题的难度。所以，建议考生依据已有词汇和表达作答。我们可以说：

For breakfast I usually have eggs of some sort, some bread and a glass of milk. And sometimes I eat some fruit like apples or bananas.

参考内容：

如果考生仍然想扩展内容，我们可以积累以下常作为早餐食物的说法：muffin松饼 orange juice橙汁 soy milk豆奶

4. Do you like cooking 【or preparing your own meals】?

雅思口语Childhood话题

1. Why do some adults miss their childhoods?

这道题的答案应该会比较常规，大家都能想到：

1】童年无忧无虑【但是得注意展开，举例说明如何地无忧无虑，建议和现在的担忧和焦虑进行对比 】

2】童年总是有很多美好的故事，比如礼物，玩游戏，这些成年后都不太发生了

其他的理由可以深入讲解的有：

1】大人的世界人际关系太复杂，很多人越来越冷漠和疏远indifferent and estranged，很多假象 artificial things , dishonest people让人很疲惫

2】大人需要承担太多的责任，比如家庭，父母，子女，have to tolerate

注意：

这道题比较常规，可以往有建设性或比较深刻的方面说

One apparent reason is that childhood is so carefree. 【展开】All children have to do is studying and having fun, nothing else. I remember my childhood memory was all about a park and several fellows playing until very late.【拿自己的童年举例证明】However, there are so many worries in adulthood, people rarely feel totally relieved. There is fast pace of life 【快节奏的生活】，endless to-do list 【完不成的代办清单，这是个比较形象的说法】,and the toughest thing is that you have no where to hide for a moment; you need to be confronted with it, pretending you are positive and strong. 【必须面对还得显得很好，说得悲观了点，不过也是如此】

Another thing is that adult life is very sophisticated, I mean the way people get along with each other. It’s very tiring to deal with the people you are not into … 关于人际关系的陈述，而小孩的世界则是直接表达爱恨。

2. In general, do children in China enjoy their childhoods?

大体上讲，中国小孩的童年应该是不够幸福的，尤其是和发达国家比的话。【参考答案部分以此展开】

但也不能一概而论，对于问中国的情况或现象的一类题，我们很多时候可以分情况讨论。比如发达城市的小孩，还是很幸福的，特别是和欠发达国家比的话。但是广大农村的小孩，还需要帮助家里做工，有些甚至不能正常上学。

Generally, Chinese children are not very happy, especially compared with children in some developed countries, as I know. I say so because children here have very heavy class loads since very little, not from the compulsory classes, mainly through the extra courses out of school.【主要是补习班】后文解释这个现象。Parents are afraid that their children are lagged behind and always want children to be the top students. 可以举例来说，比如家里的nephew, 小小年龄就很忙。

One more important reason is that 【这点比较深刻一些，就是中国家长的态度问题，不够尊重小孩，有时控制小孩，或者认为成绩好是唯一评判标准，使得很多小孩从小就不太自信】Parents in China sometimes don’t have the right attitude toward kids. They don’t respect them very well and neither do they give children enough freedom. They impose their expectations on kids and even only regard good scores as the only criteria of a good kid… 可以举一些认识的例子。

3. What do children like to do in China?

问中国的情况或现象的一类问题。建议思路是：先说generally, 即大体上，普遍上的情况。【如果合适，可以和老外熟知的西方发达国家进行一些对比，会更有说服力。】然后说 but there are people who…

当然某些题目也可以直接分情况讨论，比如本题可以就城市小孩和农村小孩进行展开，这样思路会开阔一些。

除了直接回答客观的情况以外，也可以说说自己主观的看法，即你认为是积极的还是消极的，你觉得该怎么样。

As all kids, Chinese kids would spend a lot of time watching cartoons and playing computer games nowadays. 【细节和例子展开】I know so many kids are very keen on the games on iPad and they can spend the whole day on it. 【自己的例子】And my childhood was mostly about watching cartoons. 【主观看法】Well, but actually I don’t think it’s very advisable.【合理的靠谱的】 Childhood should be spent on 【被动】more meaningful things like cultivating a hobby, reading books, etc.

Moreover, kids nowadays have fun alone, which I think really negative.
