关于青少年的雅思口语话题

雅思口语重在日常积累和练习，但并非茫无目的。我们必须针对不同的话题，分门别类，进行强化训练，只有这样才能脚踏实地，提高口语水平。

• What activities do teenagers in your country like to do?

Well, they do anything that lets them enjoy their time, I guess, for example, doing shopping and hanging out with friends, watching online videos and meeting new people.

• Do you often spend time with teenagers?

Oh yes. I am an adolescent myself, so the majority of my friends are teenagers and we spend quite a bit of time together.

• What is the best part of being a teenager in your country?

Oh, I think it is having many possibilities, unlimited potential, no time boundaries, and feeling mighty, as a result.

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.

雅思口语A stage of life you enjoyed话题

Describe an age or stage you enjoyed mostly in your life.

You should say:

When it happened

Where you were

What you did

And explain why you enjoyed this stage so much.

思路：很多人拿到题目后就立刻说是童年，因为小时候没有这么多作业和考试，整天都是玩，没有现在这么大的压力，但既然大家都这么说这个答案就落入俗套了。我们可以坚持说童年，只是大家可以另辟蹊径，再想想怎么样才能让妥妥地说服考官，让他认同那就是最美的时光。比如，我们可以说自己很幸运【 fortunate】能有一对喜欢旅行的父母【adventurous parents】，他们会在每一年都请假【 take some time off】带我去旅行。 比如，8岁那年我在大草原上体验了骑马【ride a horse】，后一年冬天他们又带我去东北滑雪【skiing】看冰雕【ice sculptures】，而爸爸还酷爱摄影【he's keen on photography】, 所以他用镜头记录【record】了我们的每一次旅行。当然，这样完美的父母基本都是别人家的，但为什么我们不可以在口语考试里借鉴别人的故事呢?所以大家平时积累素材很重要，很多人会说自己的生活很无趣，那我们就更应该学会移花接木，这样我们说英语就很有料了。时态：这段话明显需要我们回顾过去，所以正确使用动词过去式很重要。除此之外，大家如果能有意识地去丰富时态，加入进行时以及完成时，语法项的得分会更高。E.g.While we were staying in the northeast of China, we went skiing and attended the annual ice sculpture festival.I was super excited on the horse back coz I had never done it before.

Sample answer:

I would say the best time of my life so far is the first year in high school. At that time, I was about 13 years old. The school I was studying at was a boarding school, far away from the city center. I got to go home only on weekends and holidays. At first, I felt rather nervous and insecure coz never in my life had I lived away from my parents. But soon I realized I had been worried for nothing, thanks to my wonderful roommates. I lived with the other 3 girls, each one of them was bubbly, warm-hearted and super easy to get along with. I remember the first night, we stayed up all night and had a little "house-warming “party. We sat around a little table, eating lots of snacks, like chips and chocolate bars, while sharing our life stories. After that, we got to know each other better and we all felt like we had known each other for ages. As for why I enjoyed this stage of my life so much, well, to start with, I have grown so much as a person. Before that, I had been so reliant on my parents to take care of me. Living in the dormitory taught me how to do the laundry and manage my time and stuff like that. I became an independent girl. More importantly, I made friends with these amazing people, especially my roommates. You know, there was this girl called Jennifer, a fitness buff. She would literally drag me out of bed and forced me to jog with her in the morning, at 6. Because of that, jogging has become a habit of mine ever since. My point is, these people were such a positive influence on me. I'm genuinely grateful for the time we spent together. Now we are studying in different cities, two of my roommates went to UK last year. We keep in touch through Wechat, the most popular social app in China. We post updates on a daily basis so that others can find out what we are up to.

雅思口语A long walk话题

Describe a long walk you ever had.

You should say:

When this happened

Where you walked

Who you were with

And explain how you felt about the walk

这个题目其实听起来不是很常规。因为每个人对long walk的理解可能会有差别。实际上，long walk只是走的一段很长的路，你可以讲一个自己参加过的徒步活动，甚至是穿越，但你也完全可以讲一个自己花了很长时间去散步的精力。

如果是一个真正意义上的徒步，首先，你一定要知道hike这个词，并且要掌握 go on a hike, or take a hike这两个固定搭配，如果你还能记得一个trek，就更好啦。

不过呢，总体而言，我觉得大家没有必要在long walk上别出心裁了，作为一个概念，能用就行了，把你的词汇量，体现在表达细致的内容上会更好。

另外，在拿到cue card的时候，建议大家先想到真正可以表达的那个walk是什么，再组织语言讲清楚何时何地与何人一起徒步，而不要为了体现词汇量，硬在这些附属条件当中表现自己，因为这样会影响你的逻辑，得不偿失。

当然，从词汇方面，last year, mid-autumn day之类的时间，就足以把事情说清楚。这里我们会建议大家在1分钟准备时间，把具体的时间以完整或者缩写的形式写下来。

Where you walked是回答的重点之一。山川河流海洋，大家随便选择，但是一定要略微具体些。哪怕是在公园里散步，也要说是哪个城市的哪个公园，甚至可以对这个公园做一个简要的描述，比如里面有很多willow柳树啦,birch桦树啦，oriental cherry tree，樱花树啦，等等等等。

跟你一起散步的人，也是一个可以发挥的地方，这其实是去take a long walk的原因之一，所以，你可以具体描述一下，跟你一起步行的，是同事，同学，还是老师，朋友，抑或家人，当然，谁也不能阻止你说你是walk with nobody, but on your own的。

最后一点，how you felt about the walk,建议大家在这里可以把题目具体化，成为你在这次walk当中学到什么，发现什么，任仕达什么，这样，就比较好描述啦。

Well, firstly, I am really into long walk. I enjoy walking while thinking wildly, especially when I can walk with friends with whom we can exchange our ideas.You see, I grow up in a coastal city, but I prefer walking near lakes or mountains. I can still remember that last year, I went to Westlake in Hangzhou, with a friend that I got to know when we were buying second hand CDs. So we walked around Westlake and talked about music, and when we had some memory in common, we couldn’t help singing a song out, and that is a profoundly lovely experience.So yeah, long walk may be tiring, but it’s very exciting and fascinating as well. In my view, everyone should go for a long walk every now and then, to get away from their hectic routine life.

刚才这个回答当中呢，还有几点要提醒大家注意的。Be into sth. 特别热衷于做什么。回答一开始，先讲到自己是一个热爱远足的人，这样会让答案显得真实而且积极。当然，如果你是你是一个rarely go for a long walk的人，也没问题，态度诚恳最关键。其次，大家可以学会表达think wildly，天马行空的思考。再者，海滨城市 costal city，同理，你如果住在内陆城市，inland city, 当然也可以说the walk that you will never forget is the one that you had in a coastal city.

为了体现自己表达能力的宽广，我们可以说上很多细节，像在刚才的例子当中，我添加了朋友的具体背景，以及当我们聊天聊到共同话题的时候，memory in common的时候，会情不自禁地唱起歌来。这些都是很好的素材。最后一段话结尾处，给大家再补充一个有用的单词，hectic，忙碌的，hectic routine life，日复一日忙碌的生活。

嗯，再补充一点点，刚才提到的coastal, mountainous,等等关于地形的词汇，大家如果能多储备一些，会有妙用。有些词我们看起来平时在课本上见到的不多，但其实日常用语中常常能用到，比方说，peninsular, 半岛，archipelago,群岛，plain平原，plateau高原，hilly ground丘陵地区，basin盆地，等等等等。
