1. Do you like doing housework?

No I can’t stand doing housework to be honest with you. I mean, I just find it a lot of effort. And I also don’t like getting my hands dirty, so I avoid it whenever I can!

I find it a lot of effort– 我觉得很麻烦

Another possible answer:

No, I wouldn’t say I do, cos I find it kind of tedious. But saying that, I do get quite a nice feeling when I’ve finished it and everything looks clean and tidy!

Tedious - 单调沉闷的;枯燥的;乏味的;令人生厌的 If you describe something such as a job, task, or situation as tedious, you mean it is boring and rather frustrating.

clean and tidy - 干净整洁

2. How do you think housework could be made more interesting?

That’s a good question. I guess um... it could be made into a game, I suppose, for example have a competition with your friend to see who can, like, clean a room the fastest. That could possibly make it a bit more interesting and exciting. Um…What else? Uh let me see... that’s all I can really think of, I’m afraid – just make some game out of it!

Like - 表示思考下Some people say like when they are thinking about what to say next

Other ideas:

Put on the radio on while you’re doing the housework.

Listen to an audio book or something while you’re doing it.

3. Did your parents ask you to do housework when you were a child?

Yeah they did. Mainly it was, like, tidying my room, cos it was always quite messy. Yeah, that was the main thing. And uh, what else? Oh yeah, sometimes they would ask me to help with the washing up, but that was pretty much it. So I guess I’m kind of lucky, in that my mum did most of the housework.

Messy – untidy; 乱

washing up = washing the dishes; 洗碗

that was pretty much it– 差不多就这些

If no:

No, on the whole, they didn’t because they wanted me to focus on my homework. Occasionally, I did do a little bit to help, like sweeping or mopping the floor, if there was a lot to be done, but by and large, I escaped doing most of the household chores, so I was pretty lucky I suppose!

Sweep the floor – 扫地

Mop the floor – 拖地

By and large - 总的来说

Household chores - 家务活 【another way to say housework】

雅思口语花销不大的一天话题

Describe a special day that you went out but didn't spend much money

You should say:

What day it was

Where you went

What you did

Who you were with

当一谈到开销不大【花费不大】的一次特别的外出，我想说的是我去华山的一次经历。华山在华县，位于西安的东部。

When it comes to a special day out that didn’t cost too much, well, I would like to talk about a trip I had to the Huashan Mountain, which is located in the Hua County, somewhere in the east of Xi’an.

我记得是在我上大一之前的那个夏天第一次去了那里进行了一日游。一位曾经是我爸爸在军队的战友邀请了我们一家去了这个世界闻名的华山。我们早上起得很早，大概五点就驱车去了那里，然后开始一路爬上去。华山不想其它的山，不止一个山峰，是一个集合体。我们一口气把所有的山峰都爬了个遍。那天真的是那一年里耗费力气最多的一天，但是绝对值了!

I remember it was a summer day before my first semester of college in Xi’an that I went there for the first time. A military officer who once worked with my father in the army invited our family to have a one-day trip to this world-renowned scenic spot. We got up extremely early in the morning like 5 pm and drove to the foot of the mountain and began climbing. The mountain wasn’t like the traditional single peak one, it’s actually kind of a combination of many. We climbed all four summits at one go. That’s was probably the most energy-consuming activity during that whole year, but it’s definitely worth it!

虽然我们去之前就做好了充分的准备，但是我们没有一个对华山的所有风景都能了解到位。因为一路上有太多的风景等着你去探索发现，我们一点都没觉得爬得无聊。当我们到达山顶的时候，一种成就感油然而生。

Although we were fully prepared for this trip, it seemed none of us felt so confident about every detail of small scenic spots, because there’s quite a lot for you to discover along the way, and we didn’t find any single chance of being bored. When we reached the highest southern summit of the mountain, we felt a kind of sense of achievement.

我们都觉得这次旅行既健康又经济实惠。我们上下加起来包括买门票和饮料花了不超过三百块钱而且还获得了比去健身房花300块会员费得到的锻炼还多。

We all felt this was a really healthy and money-saving trip. Because we just spend no more than 300 RMB for beverages and the entrance tickets during the whole trip. And we got more fitness exercises compared to those who hit the gym with more than 300 RMB membership fees.

有人说有时候去这些山都比较的危险。但是我想说的是我们一生就活一次，为什么不能去尝试一下呢?而且也没有那么危险，你说是不是呢?

Someone said that it’s sometimes dangerous to go to those huge mountains, but I have to say that we only live a life for once, why not try it? Basically, it’s not that risky, right?

雅思口语借来的有用之物话题

Describe a useful thing you borrowed.

You should say:

what you borrowed

who lent it to you and when

what kind of features this thing has

and explain why you think it is useful.

It’s funny you should ask this question as I actually borrowed something very useful just last week, so it’s very fresh in my memory.

I’ve been doing some D.I.Y. in my apartment lately, I’m trying to do it up so that it looks a bit nicer. I wanted to put some new shelves up, but I didn’t have the right equipment, so I asked my friend Jack if I could borrow his electric drill. I had lent him something a few weeks earlier, so he didn’t mind returning the favour.

Even though on the surface it is just a drill it is extremely versatile and has more features than you might expect. It comes with a wide range of attachments for drilling different sized holes or into different types of material. There are also attachments that turn it into a screwdriver or a sander, to sand down wood and give it a smooth edge.

I’m so grateful he lent it to me, it would have been hard work to drill by hand and it saved me loads of time and energy. I put the shelves up in no time and with minimal fuss.

I’ve always wanted to buy an electric drill, but have never gotten round to it. When you don’t need something it’s easy to put off buying it, but then you don’t have it when you do need it!
