雅思口语part2参考范文：

One of the books that I have recently read is called At Home: A Short history of Private Life by an author called Bill Bryson. It is a thick, factual book about many different subjects. It is really a collection of information and anecdotes related to our private lives, past and present.

我最近读到的一本书叫做《家：比尔布莱森的短篇私人生活史》。这是一本关于许多不同主题的厚而真实的书。它实际上是一个关于我们的私人生活，过去和现在的信息和轶事的集合。

The book is mainly about things that have been included in our homes over the centuries. The author started out by wondering about the history of everything in his own home. As it is a factual book rather than a novel, it does not have a plot as such. Each chapter in the book covers the history of a particular room. For example, the chapter on the kitchen talks about the history of running water, electricity, gas cooking and so on. The chapter about the bathroom looks at the history of plumbing, sanitation and privacy. The book contains so much interesting information that I think I will have to read it again in order to take it all in.

这本书主要讲的是几个世纪以来我们家的东西。作者一开始就对自己家里所有事情的历史都感到好奇。由于它是一本事实性的书，而不是一本小说，所以它没有这样的情节。书中的每一章都涵盖了某一特定房间的历史。例如，厨房的那一章讲的是自来水、电、煤气烹饪等历史。关于浴室的那一章回顾了管道、卫生设施和隐私的历史。这本书包含了很多有趣的信息，我想我还得再读一遍才能把它全部读完。

As to the kind of people who would enjoy It, I think anybody who IS interested in history and enjoys learning lots of interesting facts would enjoy reading this book. It would also appeal to a busy person, as it is a good book to dip in and out of, because you don't have to follow a story, as you would with a novel. You can just take it chapter by chapter, or even page by page, as there is something to learn on every page. Each chapter is written like a story, even though it is a factual book, so it takes the reader to all sorts of unexpected places, and for me it was a real page-turner.

对于那些喜欢它的人来说，我认为任何对历史感兴趣并且喜欢学习很多有趣的事实的人都会喜欢读这本书。它也会吸引一个忙碌的人，因为这是一本很好的书，因为你不需要跟着一个故事走，就像你在小说里那样。你可以把它一章一章，甚至一页一页地看一看，因为每一页都有一些东西需要学习。每一章都写得像个故事，尽管它是一本真实的书，所以它把读者带到各种各样意想不到的地方，对我来说，这是一本真正引人入胜的书。

I like this book because I learned such a huge amount from it, which has made me look around my own home with different eyes and appreciate just how far we have come in a short space of time in terms of architecture, technology, lighting, comfort and many other things.

我喜欢这本书，因为我从它中学到了很多东西，它让我用不同的眼光去看我自己的家，欣赏我们在建筑、技术、照明、舒适和其他许多事情上，在很短的时间内所取得的成就。

I am not a professional photographer and my interests vary for a career. However, I do like clicking photos from my iPhone, either when I am travelling or at parties. For me, photos are a mere collection of the memories made which I often display at my house of social media account. Taking those crazy pictures, sometimes hazy fill me with joy and remind me of the great times I had.

Also, my focus right now is on improving my writing and speaking skills. Having said that, photography is something I would love to learn but in the distant future and not immediately

How often do you take photos?

Technology has made life so much simpler and convenient. With the smart phones, I believe it has become easier for everyone to actually capture amazing photos. The different modes that the present day smart phones give to its users for clicking photos can actually make anyone crazy and it surely has had an impact on me as well. I do almost always prefer clicking photos rather than taking notes. Like, photos of presentations or a note I’d like to remember. Could also be the times when giving farewell or any other party or of nature. I do click photos from my iPhone just about the moment I feel like clicking one.

科技使生活变得更加简单和方便。有了智能手机，我相信每个人都能更容易地捕捉到令人惊叹的照片。现在智能手机给用户点击照片的不同模式实际上会让人抓狂，这肯定也会对我产生影响。我几乎总是喜欢点击照片而不是记笔记。比如，演讲的照片或者我想要记住的便条。也可以是告别的时候，或者任何其他的聚会或自然的时候。我确实点击了我的iPhone上的照片，就在我想要点击其中的时候。

I like visiting famous places and whenever I get vacation, I try to visit new places or places that I have heard about. One such trip that I took with one of my friends was a journey to Holland. I would like to talk about this tour to Holland that we took 2 years age.

我喜欢参观著名的地方，每当我度假的时候，我都会去参观一些我听说过的新地方或地方。我和我的一个朋友一起去的一次旅行是去荷兰的旅行。我想谈谈我们花了2年的时间去荷兰的旅行。

Both of us 【me and my friend】 wanted to visit Holland and specifically Amsterdam, Hague and Rotterdam very much because we saw pictures and heard stories from friends about how beautiful and wonderful the place is. So finally we applied for visa, bought plane tickets, booked a hotel, packed our bags and our trip began.

我们俩【我和我的朋友】都想去荷兰，特别是阿姆斯特丹、海牙和鹿特丹，因为我们看到了朋友们的照片，也听到了朋友们关于这个地方多么美丽和美好的故事。所以最后我们申请了签证，买了机票，订了旅馆，收拾行李，我们的旅行开始了。

We spent a lot of time before our holiday, researching of all the interesting places to visit and all the sights to see. So we went to Rijks museum, Van Gogh museum, Amstell Beer museum, took a romantic sunset cruise in the water channels, drove to Volendam, a small prettiest fisherman village, visited a cheese farm. We went to Rotterdam, which is the architecture city of Holland that stimulates innovation. We enjoyed the architectures and building there as much as we did walking in the neat roads and besides the beaches. Visiting the famous Anne Frank house was an exciting moment for me. I've read the Anne Frank's Diary in my early childhood and witnessing the place was very much exciting.

我们在假期前花了很多时间，研究了所有有趣的地方，以及所有的景点。所以我们去了里杰克斯博物馆，梵高博物馆，Amstell啤酒博物馆，在水通道里进行了一次浪漫的日落航行，开车去了一个美丽的小渔村Volendam，参观了一个奶酪农场。我们去了鹿特丹，它是荷兰的建筑城市，它刺激了创新。我们喜欢那里的建筑和建筑，就像我们在整洁的道路和海滩上散步一样。参观著名的安妮弗兰克之家对我来说是一个激动人心的时刻。在我童年的早期，我读过安妮弗兰克的日记，亲眼目睹了这个地方非常令人兴奋。

Every evening we took long walks along the channels, resting in small gardens, which Amsterdam has a lot of. Street artists were performing everywhere and a lot of people came to watch their show.

每天晚上，我们沿着通道走很长一段路，在小花园中休息，阿姆斯特丹有很多这样的地方。街头艺术家到处表演，很多人来观看他们的表演。

We enjoyed very much everything we did and especially in such a beautiful country. Having my friend by my side on this trip made it even more fun. Since we have never been to Holland, everything we saw and did seemed interesting and completely new to us. The people, their way to interpretation their culture attracted us very much. Before leaving the place, both of us agreed that the place is worth visiting and someday we would come back to re-explore it.我们非常享受我们所做的一切，尤其是在这样一个美丽的国家。在这次旅行中，我的朋友在我身边让它变得更有趣。因为我们从来没有去过荷兰，我们所看到和所做的一切似乎都很有趣，对我们来说是全新的。人们，他们诠释自己文化的方式吸引了我们。在离开这个地方之前，我们都同意这个地方值得一游，有一天我们会回来重新探索它。
