参考范文：

In China, the education is divided into three categories: basic education, higher education, and adult education. The Compulsory Education Law of stipulates that each child have nine years of formal education.

Basic education in China includes pre-school education, primary education and regular secondary education.

Preschool, or kindergarten, can last up to three years, with children entering as early as age three, until age six, when they typically enter elementary school. The academic year is divided into two semesters.

Secondary education is divided into academic secondary education and specialized/vocational/technical secondary education.

Academic secondary education is delivered by academic lower and upper middle schools.

Lower middle school graduates wishing to continue their education take a locally administered entrance exam, on the basis of which they will have the option either of continuing in an academic upper middle school or of entering a vocational secondary school. Vocational schools offer programs ranging from two to four years and train medium-level skilled workers, farmers, and managerial and technical personnel. Technical schools typically offer four-years programs to train intermediate technical personnel. “Schools for Skilled Workers” typically train junior middle school graduates for positions requiring production and operation skills. The length of training is typically three year.

Higher education at the undergraduate level includes two-and three-year junior colleges【sometimes also called short-cycle colleges, four-year colleges, and universities offering programs in both academic and vocational subjects. Many colleges and universities also offer graduate programs leading to the master’s or Ph.D. degree.

Chinese higher education at the undergraduate level is divided into three-year and four-year programs. The former is offered not only at short-cycle colleges, but frequently also at four-year colleges and universities. The latter is offered at four-year colleges and universities but do not always lead to the bachelor’s degree.

Myriad higher education opportunities also fall under the general category of adult education.

The adult education category overlaps all three of the above categories. Adult primary education includes Workers’ Primary Schools, Peasants’ Primary Schools, and literacy classes. Adult secondary education includes radio/TV specialized secondary schools, specialized secondary school for cadres, specialized secondary schools for staff and workers, specialized secondary schools for peasants, in-service teacher training schools and correspondence specialized secondary schools. Adult higher education includes radio/TV universities, cadre institutes, workers’ colleges, peasant colleges, correspondence colleges, and educational colleges. Most of the above offer both two- and three-year short-cycle curricula; only a few also offer regular undergraduate curricula.

雅思口语Childhood话题

1. Why do some adults miss their childhoods?

这道题的答案应该会比较常规，大家都能想到：

1】童年无忧无虑【但是得注意展开，举例说明如何地无忧无虑，建议和现在的担忧和焦虑进行对比 】

2】童年总是有很多美好的故事，比如礼物，玩游戏，这些成年后都不太发生了

其他的理由可以深入讲解的有：

1】大人的世界人际关系太复杂，很多人越来越冷漠和疏远indifferent and estranged，很多假象 artificial things , dishonest people让人很疲惫

2】大人需要承担太多的责任，比如家庭，父母，子女，have to tolerate

注意：

这道题比较常规，可以往有建设性或比较深刻的方面说

One apparent reason is that childhood is so carefree. 【展开】All children have to do is studying and having fun, nothing else. I remember my childhood memory was all about a park and several fellows playing until very late.【拿自己的童年举例证明】However, there are so many worries in adulthood, people rarely feel totally relieved. There is fast pace of life 【快节奏的生活】，endless to-do list 【完不成的代办清单，这是个比较形象的说法】,and the toughest thing is that you have no where to hide for a moment; you need to be confronted with it, pretending you are positive and strong. 【必须面对还得显得很好，说得悲观了点，不过也是如此】

Another thing is that adult life is very sophisticated, I mean the way people get along with each other. It’s very tiring to deal with the people you are not into … 关于人际关系的陈述，而小孩的世界则是直接表达爱恨。

2. In general, do children in China enjoy their childhoods?

大体上讲，中国小孩的童年应该是不够幸福的，尤其是和发达国家比的话。【参考答案部分以此展开】

但也不能一概而论，对于问中国的情况或现象的一类题，我们很多时候可以分情况讨论。比如发达城市的小孩，还是很幸福的，特别是和欠发达国家比的话。但是广大农村的小孩，还需要帮助家里做工，有些甚至不能正常上学。

Generally, Chinese children are not very happy, especially compared with children in some developed countries, as I know. I say so because children here have very heavy class loads since very little, not from the compulsory classes, mainly through the extra courses out of school.【主要是补习班】后文解释这个现象。Parents are afraid that their children are lagged behind and always want children to be the top students. 可以举例来说，比如家里的nephew, 小小年龄就很忙。

One more important reason is that 【这点比较深刻一些，就是中国家长的态度问题，不够尊重小孩，有时控制小孩，或者认为成绩好是唯一评判标准，使得很多小孩从小就不太自信】Parents in China sometimes don’t have the right attitude toward kids. They don’t respect them very well and neither do they give children enough freedom. They impose their expectations on kids and even only regard good scores as the only criteria of a good kid… 可以举一些认识的例子。

3. What do children like to do in China?

问中国的情况或现象的一类问题。建议思路是：先说generally, 即大体上，普遍上的情况。【如果合适，可以和老外熟知的西方发达国家进行一些对比，会更有说服力。】然后说 but there are people who…

当然某些题目也可以直接分情况讨论，比如本题可以就城市小孩和农村小孩进行展开，这样思路会开阔一些。

除了直接回答客观的情况以外，也可以说说自己主观的看法，即你认为是积极的还是消极的，你觉得该怎么样。

As all kids, Chinese kids would spend a lot of time watching cartoons and playing computer games nowadays. 【细节和例子展开】I know so many kids are very keen on the games on iPad and they can spend the whole day on it. 【自己的例子】And my childhood was mostly about watching cartoons. 【主观看法】Well, but actually I don’t think it’s very advisable.【合理的靠谱的】 Childhood should be spent on 【被动】more meaningful things like cultivating a hobby, reading books, etc.

Moreover, kids nowadays have fun alone, which I think really negative.

雅思口语娱乐节目话题

In an age of computer games, reality show and micro logs, I think there is no shortage of activities to keep us occupied. Yet the topic reminds me of a TV program that I often see. Happy Camp, an entertainment TV program broadcasting every Saturday evening, is produced by Hunan Broadcasting. It’s pretty popular among Chinese audience.

Happy Camp is hosted by the so-called Happy Family: Five funny hosts and hostesses. He Join one of the hosts, is also a singer, an actor and an Arabic teacher in Beijing Foreign Studies University. One hostess named Xie Na is very humorous, quirky, cute and girly, and is good at making the audience laugh. Du Haitao, a little heavy, IS a host upon whom the joke is played. Each episode features several popular celebrities as guest stars.

Sometimes even some celebrities from Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan are invited. They participate in interviews, performing, and games.

The program is so entertaining that I often burst into laughter at some scenes and I frequently recommend it to the others.

I am really attracted by the program and I’m unwilling to miss every episode because it makes me relaxed and laugh a 101. Now I am under constant pressure from my daily live and seeing such kind of program is a good way to help me relieve the pressure.

雅思口语waited for something话题

Describe a situation you waited for something.

You should say:Where this place wasWhen this happenedWho you were withand explain why you had to wait for it.

题目的变化与思路Describe a situation you waited for someoneDescribe a time you waited in a traffic jam有时候这种题目重点放在感受，你等待的过程是一种怎样的体验。当然这也是这种题目的难点。因为如果你之说一个’烦’字，就很难撑到两分钟。所以感受可以一分阶段的方式展开，比如说可以说开始感受是很ok，觉得没什么;然后在等待10分钟以后可能就开始比较烦躁了【start to feel cranky and annoyed】，这时候你可以打电话或者催促一下你等的等等;再过一段时间，感情可能就要变成着急了又生气【really mad】，因为无限的等待让你觉得会耽误接下来的行程，或者是让你不知道该怎么做了【don’t know what I’m supposed to do next】。

选题材：很多等待的经历，但是有时候是很短暂很普通的等待，比如等公车，排队买电影票。这种题材就算是英语大神也很难延伸，因为实在是没有什么可说的。 所以题目中其实暗含着一个字，就是‘impressive and special’, 有什么等待的经历让你觉得比较特别呢?你可以是等待假期的到来，好去旅行;或者等待你最喜欢的电影上映，这些话题中其实都有可以延伸的点，旅行你可以说途中看到的感受到的;电影你可以说为何如此喜欢那部戏。

那在这里选题我是选择了旅行，并受了一句歌词的启发，叫做‘是等太阳升起，还是意外先来临’，于是加入了途中等日出这个环节。这样可以把一些熟悉的话题和这个题目有效的结合在一起。

Actually, we all have some experience of waiting for a moment or someone and now I’d like to talk about a situation that I waited for the sunrise. I remembered it was on the top of the Tai Mountain which is one of the most popular tourist sites in Shandong Province. So my friend Kim and two other classmates decided to visit it with me. It was in last summer holiday but surprisingly, when we reached the top of the mountain, it felt freezing cold. That experience really impressed me because we went hiking during the night, starting at about 1:30 am and the trip to the top of the mountain cost us about three and a half hours. And all these efforts were for the sunrise. As to why we waited for that moment. Well, most importantly, the sunrise at the Tai Mountain was famous for its spectacular scenery so we really would like to watch it in person. Also, it was said not everyone could see the sunrise because the weather could be pretty unpredictable and if the day was too cloudy and foggy, the views and sunshine might be blocked. Only the lucky persons could see it. So I guess we kind of wanted to try our luck as well. And at the beginning of the waiting, we were a bit nervous and worried because all the hard works and long trip might be a waste of time and obviously, we didn’t want to be the unlucky persons. But after one hour and 40 mins waiting and got totally freeze, we finally saw the marvelous sunrise and the view was amazing. The sun was surrounded by the cloud and the sunshine just came through fog, making everything look very warm and dreaming. It was a moment that totally worth waiting!
