雅思口语A Time you helped someone话题

Describe a time when you helped someone.You should say

who you helped

why you helped this person

how you helped this person

and explain how this person benefited from your help/ how you felt when you helped this person

首先，答题的时态，我们应该用一般过去时。

题目中的几个问题，基本也都把我们描述一个事件类话题卡的常见的扩展角度都覆盖到了。时间/地点/人物/起因/经过/结果看题面似乎这个题目挺好说的，但是具体要到一个具体的经历，似乎又有一些难于表达。除了可以讲到你帮助别人的经历，有的时候，我们被别人帮助的经历，在改变了主语之后，也是可以说到我们的回答里面去的。

我们把可能讲的，也是比较好讲的思路扩展一下：

学习中：1. 在学习中，或者在学校里，我们一定帮助过别人，或者被别人帮助过。假如你的成绩比较优秀，你回去帮助成绩一般的同学。假如你体育、音乐等其他科目比较强，也不可避免需要帮助一下你孱弱的同桌。In school, I used to be the top student in terms of the exam result. So usually my tablemate come cross any questions on the textbook, he/she will seek for help from me.My tablemate do not have the talent in taking exam as me, so I share many of my skills of how to prepare for the exam and how to make better use of time during the revision.

2.或者更简单一点，你的同学因为身体或者家里的原因不能来上课，你有没有帮没有来上课的同学交作业或者抄笔记呢?I remembered, in my second year in middle high school, my tablemate got a serious injury when he played basketball, so he had to spend two weeks in the hospital. In order to keep up with the progress of study in each subject, I took notes for him and after school, I will explain the key notes to him in the hospital and helped him with the assignment. Since then, we became best friends. 英语优势：既然你一直在准备雅思，那么你的英语水平应该在你的朋友圈里面是比较优秀的，我们可以围绕你英语的优势展开描述。比如：1. 给老外帮助Help foreigner during the trip/ on the bus/ when they lost their way2. 给家人制定旅行计划、订机票Make sound travel plan for family members/ book airplane tickets for parents.3. 辅导年纪小的弟弟妹妹Help to teach English for my younger sister/ brother/ niece/ nephew生活中：常规但是老套的故事可以讲：扶老奶奶过街，给同学送伞，陪家人看病。我个人觉得这些故事都略微过时，且其实不太好去描述。建议大家可以说说，在自己的家里，有没有帮助长辈用电子产品，不如如何使用ipad，如何上网下视频，如何微信发朋友圈等，应该大家都有过类似的经历。My parents had never used computers/ mobile phones/ Wechat/ Weibo before, so I help them to surf the internet/ download videos from the website/ post photos on the friend circle 【moment】 下面把题面的几个小问题依次分析一下：Who：把你帮助的人简单描述一下，比如个你的关系，以及叫什么，方便后面描述ta的情况。 Why：原因必然是因为他有困难had difficulty in doing sth. 根据之前说的不同的故事，原因也是不同的 How：具体帮助的方式，可能是物质上的帮助，精神上的安慰，不断的陪伴，耐心的教导Financially support the person/ emotionally comfort him/ constantly accompany him/ patiently instruct him别人的收获/我的感受：前面一种问法，我们的回答无非是,问题得到了很好的解决，被帮助的人对我们充满了感激With my help, the problem had been solved. He was so grateful for what I had done. Since then, he can accomplish the task himself.

我们自己可以获得的感受，必然是一些帮助别人的满足感，成就感，或者觉得自己有更多的存在的意义和价值By helping him, I felt a great sense of fulfillment. I somehow figure out the meaning of my existence, that is, to contribute to the well-being of other people, and in this way, to make my life more valuable下面根据我自己的真实经历，为大家做一个答题示范： The experience that I would like to describe today is, I think, about five years ago, when I helped an international student in my university to find where his department is. I remembered it was in the midday in a hot summer. So it was really unbearable. When I went back from somewhere to the campus, I saw a black young boy, who was, of course, a foreigner. His name is Ella. And he came from South Africa and he was a kind of lost his way, so he went to the school janitor to ask for the right direction to his department. But, unfortunately, the janitor cannot speak English. Besides, the most challenging part was that Ella himself didn’t know where to go because he did not print any of his admission letter or orientation guide with him. Some passers-by tried to help him, but they were confused by what he really wanted to go.

When I saw him in great trouble as he carried his two big cases with difficulties, I came to him. After I knew his situation, I decided to take him to the apartment where international students normally lived first. When we arrived in the apartment, he was further assisted by the apartment director and other international students and finally found his way to his school.

All in all, Ella benefited from my help as he successfully found his way to the right place, and for me, it was the first time that I made a foreign friend, so after that, we met several times and establish strong friendship.

雅思口语Special song话题

Describe a song that means something special to you.

You should say

what the song is called

when you listened to it

where you listened to it

and explain why you this song means something special to you.

解析：音乐话题是雅思口语历年以来的经典考题，在各个部分有可能出现。歌曲话题自然也是重点考题之一。对这个话题来说，题干的要求集中体现在了定语从句中，也就是that后边这句话，核心词就是something special. 我们除了要分析具体的词汇对答题提出的要求，同时还要避免出现理解上的偏差，比如我们是否需要描述这首歌本身有什么特别之处。答案是不需要也不排斥。因为题目说的是a song that means special to you.并不是a special song that means something special to you. 所以重点是这首歌对我们产生的影响或在我们生活占据的位置。比较好的思路就是将这首歌跟我们的生活经历结合起来。

以一首描述亲情的歌曲为例，我们可以说每次一听到这样歌曲就想到了自己的妈妈，尤其是母亲对我们的关怀，而自己现在又在外地求学，很少回家，所以感触很深。再比如我们曾经在初三的时候经常听一首歌，这首歌是每天早上在学校播放的，目的是叫早，就是叫学生起床。虽然现在不太经常听到这首歌了，但是一旦听到就想起来当年那段刻苦学习的经历。接下来我们再来看一看You should say后面的问题拓展。

第一句what the song is called. 这是一个比较容回答的问题，但是依然有同学会有疑问。假如我们说的是一首中文歌曲，我们是说中文名呢，还是直接把中文名翻译成英文呢?我的观点是尊重歌曲本来的面貌。不是所有的歌都有英文名的，如果我们直接翻译成英文而不提这首歌的中文名的话，考官可能会以为我们说的是一首英文歌。道理很简单，就像地名和人名一样，我们需要的原名。不过，我们可以在原名后面补充一个翻译。

第二句when you listened to it. 我们什么时候听到这首歌，为了使答语稍微丰富一点，我们对这个时间段做一下简单的扩充。比如: It was many years ago when I was a junior high school student. At 6 a.m. of every morning, our school would play the song on radio.

第三句where you listened to it. 跟第二句一样，我们也把听歌的地点说地丰富一点，例如：I didn’t know who got up even earlier than us and the person played the song very loudly, so no matter where we went on campus, we could listen to it clearly.

第四句也是最重要的一句 explain why this song means something special to you.正如我们刚刚分析的那样，我们最好把这首歌跟我们的个人经历结起来，说它使们想来了一段生活中的片断并且感慨万端。

另外，我们当然也可以选取一些在特殊场合听到的歌曲，比如失恋时，第一次约会中，或者参加某一场比赛时听到的歌曲。这样就非常契合题目的要求了。关于这道题所包含的语法要求，我们可以非常明显地感觉到是“过去时态运用”，这是很多同学容易犯错的点。在练习时最好反复录音，不断发现错误并且修正之。

接下来，我们呼之欲出的范例就要来了!

Well, for a song that means something special to me, I would like to say ‘dongfanghong’. It is a red song which praises our great leader ‘Mao Zedong’, a very slow song. I remember it was 4 years ago and I was in junior high school. Every morning when the sun rose, our school broadcasting station would play this song. So it was like morning call or alarm. When I listened to the song, I would be awake and do washing. I didn’t feel sleepy when the song ended. Then I ran to classroom from my dorm and started my busy studying of the day. So did my roommates. At the beginning when the song was first played in our school, I felt extremely annoyed because nobody called me to wake up so early. What was worse, this song was fairly old and my grandparents used to listen to it many years ago. Actually it didn’t give any enjoyment as music. However, this song accompanied me for a whole year during which I had to throw myself into studying in order to attend a good senior high school. This is quite normal for Chinese students and we need to work hard to stand out. So the song was just like my partner at that time. Now I seldom listen to ‘dongfanghong’. But once I meet it, the time when I studied hard at the last year of junior high school will appear in my mind. It was a special memory, busy, unforgettable and a little sense of achievement. That’s why I think this song means something different to me.

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。
