雅思口语独处话题

1. Do you like being alone?

Yeah, I don’t mind being alone. I guess as long as it’s not, like, for a really long length of time, it’s fine. You know, it’s kind of um… I don’t really know how to put it, but I suppose what I’m basically trying to say is that it feels kind of relaxing being alone. You know, it gives me the chance to ponder and reflecton certain stuff. So um… yeah, I find it quite enjoyable, but if I’m alone for a long length of time, then I guess it can get quite depressing.

是的，我不介意独自一人。我想只要不长时间就好了。你知道，有点……我真的不知道该怎么说，但是我想我基本上想说的是，独处感觉很放松。你知道，它给了我思考和思考某些东西的机会。嗯……嗯，是的，我觉得它很有趣，但是如果我独自一个人呆很长一段时间，那么我想它会变得非常令人沮丧。

2. What do you do when you’re alone?

I would say, on the whole, I mainly like to read when I’m alone. That’s one of the things I most enjoy doing, you know, sitting down with a book. It’s just a really relaxing way to pass the time! And apart from that, um.. what else do I like doing on my own…? Uh… Sometimes I might watch a bit of TV, because if it’s too quiet around me it can feel a bit discomforting, if you know what I mean, it just adds to the loneliness. So if I’ve got the TV on, it feels kind of nice having some sound around me, which in a way, gets rid of the loneliness to some extent.

总的说来，我主要喜欢在我一个人的时候读书。这是我最喜欢做的事情之一，你知道，坐下来拿一本书。这只是一种放松时间的方式!除此之外，嗯…我还喜欢自己做什么?嗯……有时我可能会看一点电视，因为如果周围太安静，就会觉得有点不舒服，如果你明白我的意思，那只会增加孤独感。所以如果我打开电视，周围有声音感觉很好，在某种程度上消除了孤独感。

3. Do you prefer to spend time with your friends or just stay at home alone?

Um… thinking about it, I’d say I generally prefer to spend time with my friends, simply because I always have a good time whenever I’m with them. But that’s not to say I don’t like being on my own at home, it’s just that it’s not as fun! You know, I’m quite a sociable person by nature, so I tend to preferbeing in the company of others.

嗯……想想看，我通常喜欢和朋友在一起，只是因为我和他们在一起的时候总是很开心。但这并不是说我不喜欢独自呆在家里，只是它没有那么有趣!你知道，我天生就是一个善于交际的人，所以我倾向于和别人在一起。

4. When was the last time you were alone?

Um… I suppose it really depends for how long. Because I mean, pretty much every day I’m alone for some parts of the day, although it may just be for a very short period of time. But um…let me see……the last time I was alone was yesterday in fact, when I was doing some reading in my room. And I was on my own for about two or three hours or so.

嗯……我想这要看多长时间。因为我的意思是，几乎每天我都会独自一人度过一天的某些时间，尽管那可能只是很短的一段时间。但是，嗯……让我想想……上次我独自一人的时候，昨天是我昨天在我房间里读书的时候。我独自一人呆了大约两个或三个小时左右。

雅思口语social network话题

1. What kind of social networking websites do you like to use?社交网站：social networking siteNetwork名词：网络;动词：建立网站我们根据社交网络的目的不同，我们可以稍微分一下类：

首先是像QQ、微信这种，基本还是属于认识的人之间的社交工具。The sites or applications that can only be used for the communication between people already known.

其次是微博或者Facebook这种，个人的主页，所有的人都可以去看的，算是一种比较公开的信息传播的平台。Personal homepage which can be viewed by almost everyone using the Internet还有就是skype，是可以出了社交之外，还可以打电话，和真是的人直接沟通的 it can not only offer connection between website users but between online users and the people in reality. 或者是linkedin, 领英，也是每个人输入自己真实的信息，但是更多的是为了工作事业为目的，为不同行业的人才之间搭建的平台。

Pose their CV and find ideal positions online. 或者是momo这样的，纯粹是为了和陌生人进行交流的一些平台。Meet strangers with same interest or description或者是其他带着特殊功能的平台，比如世纪佳缘等等，是为了找对象的。

我觉得可以大概分为三种情况：为了和熟人保持联系的，比如微信;为了认识陌生人的，比如陌陌;为了关注名人动态的，比如微博。当你说了你喜欢的类型之后，需要简单的给一些理由：如果是联系熟人，可能是为了：

更好的保持联系，或者通过这些网站，更加全面的了解对方的一些喜好和最近发生的事情

To keep frequent contact with these friends, or to have a wider and better understanding of these firends

如果是联系陌生人，可能是为了找到有共同兴趣爱好的人，可以一起打游戏之类的

To find friends with same interests so they can play computer games together, for example.

如果是为了关注明星，无非是满足自己对明星生活的好奇，希望能了解自己喜欢的偶像的一切

To satisfy the curiosity of the private life of celebrities and to know their most recent update of their work and life.

2. Are you a social person?

Social这个单词有三个主要的意思：社会的;社会地位的;社交的。当然和人搭配，指的是：喜欢社交的人。有三种可能的回答：我是一个喜欢社交的人。我喜欢认识新的朋友，我享受和很多人分享的感觉

I am definitely a social person. I like making new friends and enjoy sharing my experience with many other people.

我是一个不喜欢社交的人。我喜欢一个人呆着，我比较享受一个人的时光，而不喜欢一群人的狂欢。

I am not a social person, I prefer staying alone. Too many strangers may make me feel uncomfortable.

我得分情况：如果是我熟悉的人，我喜欢社交，我常常和自己圈子里面的人出去玩。但是我不喜欢去陌生人太多的场合，那样我会很不自在的。It depends. I would very much like to hang out with the friends I know. But if I am invited to go to a party full of strangers, I might not likely to go there.

3. What kinds of people do you like to be friends with on those websites?

大概可以分为三种人：真实生活里的人：可能是曾经有过一面之缘，在同一个学校，或者同时参加过一些活动，或者有一些共同的朋友，通过社交网站找打了彼此，建立了联系。Firstly, it is very likely that I can find someone I have already known or used to study in the same school to have attended the same activities.

虚拟的人：根据一些搜索的选项，比如兴趣爱好，找到了和自己志同道合的人，有相同话题的人

Based on some search options, such as interest or identity, I can find someone who can share the same hobby as me.

名人：希望认识某个明星，或者是某个行业的牛人，希望想他讨教很多的经验和技巧，或者听取一些建议，帮助自己能更好的事业发展。

I also like to know some famous people on these sites, not necessarily be the celebrities, maybe the well-known experts in my field. So I can ask for some help for my own job and advices on my career development.【这就是互联网时代的好处】

4. Is it easy to find real friends on a social networking websites?

能：一个是信息有一定的真实性，比如Facebook，或者国内以前比较流行的人人网，基本的信息都是真实的，所以，是可能找到真的友谊的。Most sites have certain extent of truthfulness, such as facebook. It is possible that we can find real friends online.或者是因为网络的环境，大家彼此不认识，会写下很多的伪装，往往更有真心的交流和沟通。

Since we don’t have to pretend to be others in some occasions in the reality, online, we are more willing to express the true self and communicate with others whole-heartedly.

不能：网上的信息很多是虚假的。而且很多时候，我们会隐藏自己的真实信息。假设我去这些网站注册，我说我是女的，50多岁了，也没人会说什么，于是我是可以任意的impersonate others，所以，网上的很多朋友仅限于你打游戏，或者聊天，并不能延伸到真实的生活里面去。May information online is false. Sometimes, we will try to impersonate others, to conceal the real interests of us. So the friends made online cannot be real and can only be restricted in the virtual world.

雅思口语An antique or something old话题

Describe an antique or something old your family has kept for a long time.You should say:

What it is

How your family first got this thing

How long your family has had it

And explain why it is important for your family

思路解析：

What it is?

an antique or something old可以选择说a family photo, a painting, an old watch,a piece of silverware, a bracelet, a ring, an old book等都可以。然后描述物品的外形特征【如size, color, shape等】,在讲述特征时也可以加入一些评论或是感受就更好了。

How you family first got it?

这个问题在回答的时候首先要特别注意时态，从got就知道这个问题应该使用一般过去时，这个问题可以通过讲述一个故事展开,这样会更生动有趣。以一个old dress为例讲一讲怎么通过讲故事展开这个问题。

Actually, it was my grandmother who bought this dress for my mother as a wedding gift. You know, at that time, a fancy wedding dress was rare. My mother was the first child to get married in her family, so her wedding was really significant. My grandmother asked her friends in Shenzhen to help her buy this dress. It took quite a long time to get this dress and cost her an arm and a leg.

How long your family has had it?

这个问题在回答的时候也要特别注意时态，主要的时态应该用现在完成时“have/has+动词过去分词”的形式。以an old book为例，我们看看如何使用现在完成时回答这个问题：

This book would be more than 70 or 80 years old and we have kept it on the shelf for the last 20 years.

Why it is important to your family?

最应展开的问题，可以围绕以下几点：

My grandfather passed it down to me so it has a strong sentimental value to me.

It often reminds me of my grandmother who used to…

It is a kind of memento and something to remember my grandmother by.

They are the only tangible belongings that convey my grandfather’s reminiscences.

Though they don’t have their material values but they are priceless to our family.

As an heirloom, it can teach me a great deal about my family history and traditions.

Sample Answer:

An old thing my family has kept a long time is an antique bracelet. It is green and made of natural jade. My family got this bracelet from my great-grandmother who gave it to my grandmother when she got married. Then my grandmother passed it down to my mother on her wedding day.

I guess we have kept this bracelet for about 50 years. It is actually the oldest stuff in my home. My mother often keeps it very carefully in the drawer of her dressing table. She only wears it on some important occasions, like attending a formal party or something. She thinks it really matches her dresses and makes her look elegant.

When it comes to why it is important to my family, the most important reason is that as it is passed down from my great-grandmother, it provides a tangible link between family members. Actually we all regard it as an heirloom and really cherish it. The emotional connection family members have with the heirloom is what makes it valuable. Thus, due to it sentimental value, it is really precious for my family. Another reason is that as I have mentioned, it is made of natural jade. You know, in Chinese culture, jade symbolizes good luck, health, happiness and safety. So this bracelet is considered as a lucky charm for my family. We believe that it can protect us and give us good health.
