考官范文：

Well, the first person that came to mind when looking at this topic was actually one of my neighbours, who I guess must be approaching her 80s now, and so I'd like to tell you a little bit about her and why I enjoy talking with her.

As for how I got to know her in the first place, well if I'm not mistaken, I met her when I was walking my two dogs in the gardens of the apartment complex where I live, and one of my dogs just ran straight up to her, and literally jumped up and gave her a hug! I remember at the time, I was slightly worried because I wasn't sure if she liked dogs or not, but thankfully, it turned out that she was a big animal lover, so she had no problem with my dogs, and she now even looks forward to seeing them every time she comes out for a walk.

Anyway, with regard to what we talk about when we see each other, well, it's kind of hard to say, because there's not really anything in particular that we always talk about, you know, it could be the weather, my studies, something in the news, but generally what normally happens is that she asks me how things are going, and after listening to me she will then offer some of her thoughts and advice, which I really appreciate, because she’s obviously experienced a lot more than I have in life.

And just to give you a little example of some of the stuff we talk about, when I bumped into her a few days ago, I mentioned to her a problem I was having with an essay I had to write, because it was a two and a half thousand-word essay about something extremely dull, and, for the life of me, I couldn't think of anything to write. But she just said to me, “forget about how much you need to write, just imagine you can write it as long or as short as you want.” And it was amazing, because when I changed my mindset to how she suggested, it suddenly became much easier to write the essay, and I even ended up writing over three thousand words.

So this is just one example, and I guess it partly explains why I like talking with her a lot, because, she's always able to give me good advice, whether it be in my studies or any other aspect of my life,and I'm super grateful to her for this.

I should also finally mention that she's an incredibly nice lady, so it's always really enjoyable chatting with her.

Thanks very much for listening.

雅思口语范文old man篇二：老年人

1. Why do old people today live longer than in the past?

The main reason people live long now than they did in the past is due to improvements in diet and health. Generally, the world has developed greatly over the last hundred years, so that now it is much easier to find healthy food and get access to medicine. Improvements in technology mean that many illnesses that used to be fatal can now be treated safely and cheaply. Other diseases that arise from poor sanitary conditions such as cholera are now extremely uncommon due to vast improvements in infrastructure and general quality of life.

2. Are the attitudes of young people today towards old people the same as they used to be, years ago?

For the most part, old people in China continue to be treated with respect and admiration. However, it can be argued that the rapidly changing nature of society means that some traditional values get ignored. Some people are so focused on the future and trying to make money that they forget their values. In the past families stayed together because it was difficult to travel away from home. This meant that old people were well-cared for. Nowadays many families are split up because it is so easy to move around the country, so it can be easy to neglect older relatives. Old people in general can often feel cut-off from modern China because it is changing so quickly.

3. What can young people learn from elderly people?

Elderly people have so much to offer young people in terms of their experience. Younger generations cannot understand their history and background without the knowledge of the people who came before them and actually lived through those events. Young people can learn about their cultural heritage from older people who may have a closer connection to traditional customs. Without this constant learning from older generations, many aspects of culture would be lost. Another thing that elderly people can teach the young is how to get by in life and make the most of their opportunities. They will have already gone through many of the same experiences young people will go through, and can give them advice based on their own experiences.

4. Do old people in China have opportunities to attend any forms of classes?

Nowadays in China there are some colleges that are exclusively for old people to attend. They exist to help them get an education if they didn’t have the opportunity to do so before. They also offer many practical course so older people can enjoy learning some new skills and use them to benefit other people. There are also many communities where older people can socialize and support each other. This allows them to make new friends who share the similar interests and remain active and enjoy their old age. It’s great that places like this exist because without them life might be very boring for some old people living alone.

1. In China, what is the attitude towards old people?

In general, Chinese people are highly respectful of their elders. There is a deep-rooted sense of respect for age and experience in this country. It is not uncommon for people to offer their seats to older people on the bus or train, or to help them with their shopping. When eating, one always lets the oldest person begin eating first. Old people are held in high regard because people recognize that their long lives give them wisdom and experience. If someone has a problem they need advise about, they will almost certainly talk to an elderly person.

2. Who do you think should take responsibility for looking after old people?

Hopefully, old people are looked after by their children. After all, they raised their children and brought them up, so the children should re-pay their parents by taking care of them when they are old. However, not all old people have families or families that are willing to care for them, so they sometimes stay in an old people’s home where they can live in a community of other people their age. The main problem with these homes is that they can be very expensive, and the quality of care can vary dramatically.

3. What should family members do for elderly parents/grandparents?

It’s very important for family members to provide elderly relatives with material needs and comforts, such as warm and safe housing and good food. Some older people cannot do the same tasks they could do when they were younger, and so they may need someone to cook and clean for them. However, it’s also vital that family members continue to show their love and affection. Being old can be a lonely experience, and knowing that your family loves you and cares for you can be a wonderful comfort.

4. Are there any advantages to being old?

Of course there are also many advantages to being old, even though there are also disadvantages. One enjoyable aspect of old-age is that one is generally not required to work. You can enjoy lots of free-time without the pressures of a career or earning money. Many old people take up hobbies such as Tai Chi or board-games. One can often see groups of older ladies dancing to music in the streets as a form of exercise and for fun. There is now a lot of time to enjoy socializing and spending time with friends and loved ones. Another advantage to being old is that you have learnt many things from your life, and can be considered rather wise and knowledgeable.

1. Are Chinese families usually big or small?

In the past families in China were large, Mao Zedong encouraged the Chinese people to have more children as a military technique, also for developing agriculture and production. Women usually went to live with her husband’s family after getting married. No couple ever thought of living alone. Today, Chinese families are usually small, because they can only have one child. It can be bigger for instance, if one grandparent passes away, the other would move in and live with extended family. Chinese people often take the responsibility of caring for seniors.

2. In Chinese families, who usually makes the major decisions?

In the past, the eldest male in the family would make the major decisions. Young couples usually lived with and depended on the husband’s parents. Nowadays it is totally different. Most young couples move out to live on their own, and the decision process is shared. In my family my father makes many of the decisions because he is the main bread winner. For important matters, they usually discuss them together, but my mother eventually has the final say, because she’s more sophisticated and clever.

3. Do you think it is good for grandparents to help bring up their grandchildren?

No, I do not think it is good for grandparents to help raise their grandchildren. Grandparents often spoil kids, giving them too much unnecessary love and gifts. What’s more if children grow up with them, they don’t usually gain any useful knowledge. However, it’s undeniable that many children nowadays are raised by their grandparents. Many parents are very busy working long exhausting days, which makes them too tired to take care of feeble babies.

4. What can children learn from grandparents?

By spending time with grandparents, children have a better sense of who they are and where they've come from. They have roots, a history, and a sense of continuity. They develop a sense of pride and responsibility in carrying forward the legacy that has been passed to them. Through sharing in a grandparent's interests, skills, and hobbies; children are introduced to new activities and ideas. Grandparents can be very patient, effective teachers. Knowledge, skills, and attitudes children pick up from grandparents tend to stick with them through life more than those picked up from other sources.
