Why do some people keep pets at home?

为什么有人喜欢在家养宠物呢?

我也不太确定被人咋想的，可能跟我一样把。现在人们的生活节奏越来越快，让个宠物就不会让我们的生活那么枯燥无聊。我猜这应该就是人们样宠物的主要原因了吧。

I don’t know what others think, probably same like me. You know, our life pace is getting faster and faster and keeping a pet can make our life not that boring. That’s, I guess, the main reason why some people like to have a pet at home.

我最喜欢的动物是狗狗，尤其是柯基，它是一种短腿狗。我喜欢狗的主要原因就是狗很可爱。每次我看到了小狗，我工作上的压力就会烟消云散。

Have you ever had a pet before?

你曾经养过宠物吗?

我们家曾经养过一只猫和一直够，那还是在我上小学和初中那会儿的事情。我依稀记得我们家猫狗大战的场面，太让人感动了。他们总是我们家的笑料。

Our family had a dog and a cat when I was in the primary and middle school. I could still remember the moment that they were fighting and playing together, which was really touching me. They were always fun makers in our family.

雅思口语公共设施话题

1. Do you like going to parks and/or public gardens?

【If yes:】

Yeah, on the whole I do, as long as the weather’s nice of course! You know, I think they’re nice places to go to get some fresh air and enjoy the natural environment. And I always tend to feel a bit less stressed out when I’m in a garden or park.

【如果是】：

是的，总的说来，只要天气好就行!你知道，我认为它们是去呼吸新鲜空气和享受自然环境的好地方。当我在花园或公园里时，我总是感到压力小一些。

【If no:】

No I don’t, because I kind of think there’s not really that much to do in parks. I mean, most of the ones near to where I live have nothing! You know, all you can really do is just wander around, and after you’ve been to them so many times, they kind of get a bit boring, if you know what I mean!

【如果没有：】

不，我不这样认为，因为我觉得公园里没有太多的事情要做。我的意思是，大部分住在我住的地方都没有东西!你知道，你真正能做的就是四处逛逛，在你去过他们那么多次之后，他们变得有点无聊，如果你明白我的意思的话!

2. When was the last time you went to a park?

Um… let me see…when was the last time?... I suppose it must have been about … it must have been about two or three months ago, a bit before Christmas, cos I remember that day the sky was really clear for a change! And so I thought it would be nice to go out for a walk somewhere, which I did.

嗯……让我想想……最后一次是什么时候?…我想一定是……大概是两三个月前，圣诞节前夕，因为我记得那天的天空真的很晴朗，可以改变!所以我想出去散步是很好的，我做到了。

3. Do you think the parks and gardens where you live could be improved in any ways?

Yeah I do. I think they could be improved quite a bit. Cos as I mentioned just now, there’s not really that much you can do there, so I think some facilities could be added. For example, it would be nice if there was a café or something where you could sit and enjoy the surroundings with a cup of coffee. And uh.. what else?... Oh yeah, another thing that I think’s lacking is children’s play areas, you know, like climbing frames, swings and slides, because I’ve noticed that most parks have exercise equipment for adults, but nothing really for children. So this is another aspect in which I think parks could really improve on.

是的。我认为它们可以有很大的改进。正如我刚才提到的那样，你在那里没有多少东西可以做，所以我想可以增加一些设施。比如，如果有咖啡馆或什么地方，你可以坐下来喝杯咖啡来享受周围的环境，那就太好了。呃…还有什么?…噢，是的，我认为缺少的另一个地方是儿童游乐区，你知道，像爬架、秋千和滑梯，因为我注意到大多数公园都有成人用的运动器材，但实际上没有儿童用的。这是另一个方面，我认为公园真的可以改善。

4. Would you like to see more parks and gardens in your hometown?

Yeah I would, because we only have a very small number at the moment, and considering there are several million people living here, I think it would definitely be good to have a few more!

是的，我愿意，因为目前我们只有很少的人口，考虑到这里有几百万人口，我想再住几个肯定会很好!

5. Do you prefer to relax with your friends in a park or an indoor place?

I’d say I generally prefer to relax with my friends somewhere indoors, because I mean, if I’m meeting up with them in a park, then everything could be ruined by the weather. So it’s a bit easier arranging to meet somewhere indoors. Having said that though, if it’s a really nice day out, then I suppose I would prefer to be outside with them somewhere, like a park.

我想说我通常更喜欢和朋友在室内的某个地方放松，因为我的意思是，如果我在公园里和他们见面，那么一切都可能被天气毁坏。所以安排在室内见面比较容易。话虽如此，如果外面天气真的很好，我想我还是喜欢和他们一起出去玩，比如公园。

雅思口语雨天话题

1. Do you like rainy days?

No, not that much to be honest with you, because I mean, when it rains, you can’t really do anything outside, unless you don’t mind getting wet of course! And also for me, I find it a bit of a hassle carrying an umbrella around with me everywhere.

不，说实话，没有那么多，因为我的意思是，下雨的时候，你不能在外面做任何事情，除非你不介意淋湿，当然!对我来说，我发现到处都带着雨伞。

2. What do you do on rainy days?

Well it kind of depends really, because there are some things I have to do regardless of whether it’s raining or not, you know, like going to lectures and stuff. But when I’m free, I tend to just chill out at home if it’s raining. So for example, I might read a book or watch TV, and I’ll only leave the flat if I absolutely have to!

嗯，这要看情况而定，因为有些事情我必须做，不管下雨与否，你知道，比如去听讲座等等。但当我有空的时候，如果下雨的话，我会在家里放松一下。比如说，我可能会看书或者看电视，如果我一定要去的话，我只会离开公寓。

3. Do you think rain is good?

Yeah, for sure. I mean, for one thing, it helps get rid of all the dust in the air. And secondly, it’s good for the natural environment. You know, it helps all the plants and vegetation stay alive. So although I don’t particularly like the rain, I understand the need for it!

是的，当然。我的意思是，首先，它有助于清除空气中的所有灰尘。其次，它对自然环境有好处。你知道，它有助于所有的植物和植物存活。所以虽然我并不特别喜欢雨，但我理解它的需要!

4. Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown?

Yeah, most definitely, because you know, whenever it rains, the traffic always seems to get a lot more congested. I’m not exactly sure why, but I guess it’s probably because cars have to drive slower in the rain.

是的，绝对是这样，因为你知道，每当下雨的时候，交通总是会变得更加拥挤。我不太清楚为什么，但我想这大概是因为汽车在雨中必须减速行驶。

5. Is there any part of China where it doesn't rain much?

Yeah, I’d say there are quite a few areas of the country where it doesn’t rain a lot, the most obvious place being the Gobi Desert, which I guess never gets any rain, what with being a desert and all! And also I’d say the north of China, in general, doesn’t really get all that much rain, at least compared with the south, so a lot of that part of the country is quite dry and arid.

是的，我想这个国家有很多地方雨水不多，最明显的地方是戈壁沙漠，我猜那里从来不会下雨，那沙漠又怎么样呢?我还要说，总的来说，中国的北方并没有得到那么多的雨水，至少与南方相比，所以中国的大部分地区相当干燥和干燥。

雅思口语historical event话题

Describe an important historical event in your country.

You should say:

What the event was

when it happened

How you heard about it

And explain why this historical event is important.

话题任务分析：历史事件这个话题，实际上难度不大。我们从小到大一直都有学习历史课程。相信谈到重要的历史事件的时候，大家都会有很多的想法：辛亥革命、抗日战争、新中国成立、文化大革命、改革开放等等。这些事件本身就比较重大，考官作为外国人也有所耳闻。所以是大家答题时的首选。而一些相对较小的事件，如奥运会、和美国建交等等，一是考官不太熟悉;二是自己说清楚时需要很多的知识储备，考官因为不太熟悉，听起来也比较费力，所以不建议大家选择。答题重点：首先是要对几个历史事件要有比较准确的翻译如：新中国成立： The founding of the People’s Republic of China.抗日战争：The anti-Japanese war文化大革命： The Cultural Revolution

改革开放：the Reform and opening up

其次是时态：

中国考生常常会混用过去时和现在时，这一道试题在描述具体时间的时候，肯定是要使用过去时态的;但是在谈及具体影响的时候，可能就需要使用现在时，甚至是将来时态了。此外，回答一定要注意条理性，注意条理性，注意条理性。重要的问题说三遍!

It’s definitely the reform and opening up initiated by Deng Xiaoping soon after the end of the Cultural Revolution, which, I think is also very important but no match of this one. Anyway, the cultural revolution ended in 1976, and the reform and opening up was initiated in 1978. Of course I, like many other young people in China have learned, systematically a lot from our textbooks. But I didn’t realize its importance until I have read so many reports and books from various channels, some of them are from famous historians now living and teaching in American or British universities. Therefore the bulk of my understanding of it definitely comes from their reports, lectures, etc.

First of all, I want to put the reform and opening up back to the grand narrative of China since 3000 years ago when China first got its name The Empire of the Middle. Ancient Chinese believed that China, or my country, located at the center of the world. Well, this was a narrative, or legend, once held by many nations at the very beginning. However, due to the geopolitical uniqueness, China maintained this legend until the late 19th century when the British Empire and other modern countries invaded China since the 1840s. In no more than 20 years the legend was replaced by one miserable story after another of occupations, of exploitation, of territorial secession. And this strong sense of inferiority lasted for almost eighty or ninety years, until 1949 when Communist party brought the nation together again. And we used another three years to reach a peace deal the the United States in North Korea, and then its the Cultural Revolution. All those events caused a big problem of national identity: who are we? What’s the position of China in the world? We asked ourselves questions like this at that time. So there came Deng Xiaoping, a man who once studied in France in his early twenties. He opened the gate of China. He showed the Chinese people that we had been left behind by western countries. He told us, in an indirect way that our governance was not that successful compared to our capitalist enemies. So, what he did basically was to relocate China in this small planet.

The second reason, of course, is China’s economy. Back in 1978, when China’s top leaders were trying their best to dispose of the problems left by the Cultural Revolution, and nobody knows where China should go. It was Deng Xiaoping pointed out the way and said the economic development is the top task and the reform and opening up solved the problem of how to develop economy. And within ten years, well, twenty years, by the end of 1998, China’s economy was beyond anybody’s imagination. The key point is, no great public turmoil happened in these twenty years, I think this is the importance of the Reform and the Opening up.
