雅思口语part2范文

I made a simple kite for my son during the last National Day. Since I’d never made a kite before, I’d thought it would be a tough task. But it turned out that making a kite was actually just a piece of cake.

在最后的国庆节，我为我的儿子做了一个简单的风筝。因为我以前从来没有做过风筝，所以我认为这将是一项艰巨的任务。但事实证明，制作风筝实际上只是一块蛋糕。

I decided on its shape first. I just chose a flat one because it was virtually the most basic structure and could be easily carried around. Then I got a sheet of coloured paper and cut out the shape.

我先决定了它的形状。我只是选择了一个扁平的，因为它实际上是最基本的结构，很容易携带。然后我拿了一张彩色的纸，把它的形状剪掉了。

My son got thin plastic strips for me. I tied them together with a string, which apparently would be the frame of the kite. After that, we made the bridle which connected the frame to the control line. Finally I glued the paper to the frame.

我儿子给我买了薄塑料条。我用一根绳子把它们绑在一起，这显然是风筝的框架。在那之后，我们做了把框架连接到控制线的缰绳。最后，我把纸粘在框架上。

It seemed to be an arduous work as it took me a whole afternoon to finish it but finally it turned out to be quite rewardful. The kite flew pretty well in the garden the next day. Our hard work paid off. I chose a hand work as a gift because I reckoned it more precious for my son than the toys bought in the shops. Besides, doing a hand work offered me and my son an opportunity to experience the simple pleasures of life.

这似乎是一项艰巨的工作，因为我花了整整一个下午的时间才完成它，但最终结果还是相当有回报的。第二天，风筝在花园里飞得很好。我们的努力得到了回报，我选择了一份手工工作作为礼物，因为我认为这对我的儿子来说比在商店里买的玩具更珍贵。此外，做手工活给了我和我的儿子一个体验生活中简单快乐的机会。

雅思口语Borrow something话题

Describe an occasion that you borrowed something from friends or family members

You should say:

What the thing was

When you borrowed it

Whom you borrowed it from

And explain why you borrowed the thing

很多第二部分的话题，其实一两句就都可以说完，但是雅思考试的第二部分需要大家去说到2分钟，就需要很多的细节扩展。先来看下答案里的四段：

第一段铺垫了我为什么需要借包：

Last year, like in December, I went to Beijing for a training and all the trainees were told to bring laptops since after the training everyone had to go through an assessment. It was only a 2-day training so I was wondering maybe I shouldn’t bring too many things with me, so I borrowed a really big backpack from my mom, as i need to bring a laptop with me. I do have a school bag but it is quite small, so the laptop couldn’t fit in. So I needed a larger one to carry heavy loads.

第二段描述了包的外观，还借了一件羽绒服：

It is a black backpack fitted with one large pocket for the laptop and several pockets for small-sized items, it has big capacity for all the items that i need for the trip. My mom did commercial air travel a lot, so she has not only lent me the bag, but also a down jacket, since the winter in my hometown is quite warm, i haven’t worn a down jacket for years. But the winter in Beijing, it is cold and feature strong winds. So i also have borrowed a down jacket to keep me warm.

第三、四段说了原因和感受：

I thought I had made a good decision to have the backpack as carry-on bag for airplane travel. Because on one hand, i had more of my possessions at hand during the flight, and i have skipped the very time-consuming baggage claim process, and have avoided the risk of having the checked baggage lost or damaged. So i have spent less time on checking in the luggage and waiting in the line.

After the 2-day training, we flew back home, we arrived at Kunming international airport at 1 am, some of my friends had to wait for the luggage claim for another 30 mins, however i had already hopped on a taxi and left. So i thought a backpack, or any form of hand luggage really saved people time and energy for air travel. So it was a time I have borrowed a bag from my mom and it was really useful.

上面每一个段落其实都是亲身经历，细节是比较容易想出来。所以我比较鼓励同学们都要尽量说真实的东西，因为你经历过细节和感受就很容易说出来，而去编语料就很容易没有细节，说不到两分钟，流利度就会受到影响。

雅思口语Decisions话题

1. What skills are necessary when making decisions?

关于decision-making的话题，以及关于skills的问题在part 3当中并不算少见，因此同学们还是需要多加注意，平时要多多积累语料。

这个题目在回答的过程当中，同学们容易陷进“skills”的陷阱当中去，很多同学对于skills这个单词的理解非常的狭隘，认为只有“技术性”、“技能性”的才能叫做skills，其实，只要是和能力相关，只要是表示“能做什么样的事情”，都可以用skills这个词来表达。比如雅思听力当中就常常出现writing skills和study skills这种表达，这个时候我们就不一定非要僵硬地把这个词组理解成“写作/学习技能”，而是直接说“写作/学习能力”更好一些。更何况，在一个雅思口语part 3的答案中，流利的应对非常重要，相比较于花时间去纠结skills到底指的是什么，更明智的做法显然是联系decision-making的过程，描述这个当中需要的能力。

具体来说，做决定的时候，我们需要搜集信息，需要跟他人沟通讨论，有时候甚至需要坚持自己的主张【assert my opinions】或者控制情绪，这些都可以作为答案内容。

示范答案：

Making decisions is a complex process, which might involve a great many skills. For starters, the ability of collecting facts and figures is essential, because the first step of making a decision is to get a whole understanding of the relevant information. Sometimes, we need to be computer-literate to look up information on the Internet. Secondly, we shall be able to do some data analysis so that we can make a wise decision. In addition, we need to keep calm inside, even when it is an urgent situation and we are asked to make prompt decisions, otherwise we might decide on something and regret it quite soon. Finally, a good decision-maker should be able to control his own mood and never get emotional, since we are not likely to make a good decision when we are thrilled, furious or anxious. So to sum up, there are plenty of necessary skills when making a decision. Sometimes we are not even aware of them.

2. How can people improve their decision-making skills?

这个题目的回答思路其实还是比较广的，我们可以将此题和上一题联系起来【很多时候考官确实会把这样的两道题目连着问】，那么此时我们就应该从上一题的答案出发，具体讲解如何提高搜集信息的能力，如何提高分析数据的能力等等，这是一个思路;

另一方面，我们可以考虑从宽泛的地方入手，讲一个“放之四海而皆准”的答案【比如今天的示范答案】，具体内容方面就是锻炼能力的通常途径：练习。

考生不必担心这样“放之四海而皆准”的答案内容会不会让考官误以为在背答案，因为这个内容对应该问题并不牵强，同时还很实际。我们只要注意回答的时候要自然一些就好了。

示范答案：

I think people can improve their decision-making skills the way they do to improve all other skills – by learning and practising. If someone feels that he is not good at making decisions, the first thing he might have to do is to observe – to find out how others will react when it comes to a similar circumstance. The second step is to compare and contrast. By doing this, people can have a clear understanding of the strong points and the weakness in their decision-making process, so that they could make a progress. The key point of improving the decision-making skills lies in practice. Just like everything, decision-making skills could get strengthened only when we put them into reality. Provided we keep training ourselves in this way, we can all become wise and responsible decision-makers.

3. Do parents in China allow their children to make important decisions about the future?

这种“中国/你们国家现状”的问题其实是最好回答的，因为这样的现状一定是很复杂的，不能一概而论的。因此，考生完全可以根据自己的回答特征和优势有选择性地給出答案。

比如这个题目，可以说yes，当然也可以说no，当然更可以说两者兼而有之，具体怎么操作，可以看考生擅长往哪个方面发挥。并且，建议考生根据这种“in your country / in China”如何如何的题目，准备好一个框架，可以是it depends on…，或者it varies…，接着说因为各地的情况、各个阶层的情况都不一样，最后再详细讲自己看到的、自己了解到的情况是怎样的，这样的答案层次感也比较好。

示范答案：

Well, it’s unlikely to simply say yes or no to this question, since things differ enormously in different families. Some parents allow their children to make almost every decision about the future, from what major to choose, to what kind of person to marry. These are so-called “open-minded” or “enlightened” parents. They are also the popular ones. Children all dream of having this kind of parents and those who do have, are often very proud, confident and independent. However, there are some other parents, who act in a totally opposite way. They feel that they could not trust their children to make any decision, let alone important ones. They are overprotective parents, and without knowing it, they might even ruin their children’s life in the name of “love”. It’s actually very terrible. To me, one of the greatest jobs of a parent is to teach the children how to make decisions on their own, so that children can grow up as mature, responsible adults.
