I recently read Tagore's Stray Birds. This book contains more than 300 poems, whose themes are common things such as birds, grass, rivers and so on.

我最近再读泰戈尔的飞鸟集。这本书是包含了300多首诗，其题材是常见的事物例如鸟，小草，河流等。

The book's greatest feature is brevity.Tagore always conveys himself understanding and thinking according to natural landscape.Tagore is good at describing animals and plants in nature. And he wants to emphasized freedom and vitality through careful description. My grandma send me Tagore's Stray Birdsinthe bookstore. She often reminds me to read more books rather than spend lots of time on playingand studying.

这本书最大的特点是简短。通过捕捉一个自然景观来表达泰戈尔在日常生活中的感悟，思考。泰戈尔很擅长描写自然界里的动物和植物，通过细致的描写表现自由和活力。这本书是奶奶带我去书店买的。她常常提醒我多看看书，而不是花很多时间在游戏和学习上。

雅思口语big company话题

1. What is the difference between big companies and small companies?

思路：

用一个总起句，总结一下大公司和小企业有很多的不同，然后注意使用连接词列出两个不同即可，也就是做一些对比。

误区：

不用列举太多的不同哦，只要2-3个即可。还有一点儿要注意的是，我们不要多太绝对的语言，比如‘all the big companies’或者‘every small company’这样的字眼;可以多使用vague language，比如‘perhaps’‘probably’‘most likely’‘possibly’等。

语料：

plenty of clear differences很多明显的区别

whereas in contrast然而反过来

while on the other hand而另一面

get promoted升职

get a promotion升职

Well obviously there are plenty of clear differences, but I guess one of the most obvious one is that there are a lot more employees in big businesses while on the other hand there might be only a few people in a really small place, like family business or stuff like that. Apart from that, another point I can think of is that you might be able to have more chances to get staff trainings to work on your professional skills in a bigger place whereas in contrast when you just start working in a small place, they might just expect you to skip the training part.

2. What are the good things about working for a big company?

思路：

可以用一总起两分开的思路，先用一句话去开头说一下给大公司上班有很多的好处，然后举2-3个例子就可以啦【大公司因为职位多可以有机会一直往上爬;此外呢，大公司还会相对来说保证员工的福利，比如保险insurance和旅游】。记得使用连接词哦。

误区：

‘good things’就是好的方面的意思，也可以用‘advantages’‘benefits’‘positive aspects’这样的词去替换。当我们回答的时候可以尽量绕开‘good things’这个原题的表达，用用转述。

语料：

positive aspects积极的方面

clear benefits明显的优点

plus point优势/优点

Well, I suppose that there are quite a few clear benefits, but I would probably say that the most obvious part is that people might have more chances of getting a promotion in a big business because there will be loads of positions so you can work your way up. As well as this, another good bit about working in a proper company is that you are more likely to be granted some benefit like health insurance, group travels or stuff like that.

3. Why do some companies prefer senior employees?

思路：

我们可以把题目理解为雇用年长的员工有什么优势。我们可以用一句总结开始去说一下有很多的好处，然后用连接词把两个列举的原因给串起来。比如老员工相对来说更有经验一些，公司不需要另外花钱把他们送到外面去培训;除此之外呢，老员工较年轻的员工来说会更倾向于稳定的工作，不会那么频繁的想换工作。

误区：

注意听清题目哦，题目问为什么有的公司会比较倾向年长的员工，而不是问公司更喜欢年长的员工还是年轻的。

语料：

remain at the same place停留在同一个地方

first thing you might have noticed你首先可能注意到的

slightly more stable有些更稳定

Well, I guess it’s mainly because there are loads of benefits when it comes to hiring senior employees. First thing you might have noticed is that older staff are always more experienced in a certain area. I mean they know what they are doing. Plus the HR department doesn’t have to spend too much time or money training them. What’s more, new graduates might tend to keep changing their jobs and that whereas older employees would want to remain at the same company and they are normally slightly more stable.

雅思口语手工艺品话题

1. Do you like making things by hand?

【If yes:】

Yeah I do. I find it quite fun making stuff by hand. You know, it kind of brings a certain amount of satisfaction once you’ve finished it, and you think “Wow! I made that!” So yeah, I enjoy making things quite a lot.

【如果是】：

是的。我觉得手工制作东西很有趣。你知道，一旦你完成了它，它会带来一定的满足感，你会想：“哇!我做到了!“是的，我喜欢制作很多东西。

【if no:】

No, not particularly, because I’ve actually always found it to be a pretty frustrating experience. You know, something invariably goes wrong whenever I try to make something, so now I can never usually be bothered.

【如果没有：】

不，不特别，因为我一直觉得这是一个非常令人沮丧的经历。你知道，每当我尝试制造某物时，总有一些东西出了问题，所以现在我再也不会被打扰了。

2. Do you like collecting things made by hand?

No, I can’t say I do. I mean, I’ve never really made the effort to collect anything made by hand. So it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just never been something that I’ve had the urge to do really!

不，我不能这么说。我的意思是，我从来没有真正努力收集任何手工制作的东西。这并不是说我不喜欢它，它从来就不是我渴望做的事情。

3. Did you ever take handicraft lessons at school?

No, I never did, which I suppose is a bit of a pity, cos I imagine they would have been quite fun. But my classes were unfortunately limited to just the typical subjects that most schools offer, like Maths, Physics, Geography, those kinds of things.

不，我从来没有这样做，我想这有点可惜，因为我想他们会很有趣。但不幸的是，我的课只限于大多数学校提供的典型科目，比如数学、物理、地理，诸如此类

4. Are handicrafts popular in China?

Yeah, I’d say they are, because we have certain handicrafts which are….um… how can I put it,…which are closely tied with our culture, such as paper cutting, which goes back hundreds of years in China, if not thousands. But I suppose it’s also fair to say that handicrafts have become a bit less popular in modern times, simply because of all the technology that’s crept into our lives!

是的，我想说是，因为我们有一些手工艺品……嗯……我怎么说呢……它们和我们的文化紧密相连，比如剪纸，在中国可以追溯到几百年前，如果不是几千年的话。但我想说手工艺品在现代变得不那么流行也是公平的，仅仅因为所有潜入我们生活的技术!
