雅思口语话题特殊一餐

Describe an unusual meal you had

You should say:

Who you were with

Where you went

When it happened

Why it was unusual

思路点拨：以下思路谨供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这个题目的回答可以分成两个大方向。第一，集中于食物本身，即吃到一些之前没有见过或者无法接受的食物。比如英国的鱼和薯条，苏格兰的哈吉斯，澳大利亚的袋鼠肉，法国的烤蜗牛，西班牙的海鲜饭等带有异国风情的食物。又或者像云南的炸昆虫，北京的豆汁、卤煮，长沙的臭豆腐、臭桂鱼等可能会突破不喜欢的人的极限的食物。第二，集中于吃食物的场景，即食物本身很普通，但一起吃的人比较特殊，或者时机比较特殊。比如跟自己初恋吃的第一顿饭，18岁成年的一顿饭，跟自己的兄弟或者闺蜜彻夜聊天的一顿饭，跟自己的朋友分离的一顿饭，毕业之际的聚餐等。

我要告诉你的特殊的一餐是我跟我大学最好的朋友在毕业前吃的一顿饭。他跟我一个宿舍，床互相挨着。在大学的四年里，我们一起踢球，一起学习，甚至互相帮忙找到了各自的女朋友。拥有无数快乐的回忆。

The unusual meal I am going to tell you is what I ate with my best friend before graduation. He and I shared the same room and our beds were set together. During the college, we play basketball together, study together and even help each other find our true loves. Oh, a lot of happy memory.

那是我们离校的前一天，即第二天我们就要各奔前程。他回厦门进入一所大学教书，我留在当地工作。两地相隔千里。所以很有可能那顿饭将是我们在未来好几年间最后的一顿饭。事实也确实如此。

The meal was in the evening before graduation. Next day, we would pursue our own courses. He would go to Xia’men, a southern city in China, to teach in a university, while I would stay here and start my work. We were parted thousands of miles, so that meal was very likely to be our last meal in several years, and it is.

没有选择外面的饭店，我们买了些食物，啤酒回到生活四年的宿舍。一边吃饭，一边喝酒，一边聊天。那天我们聊了很多，关于曾经的理想，未来的设想，自己的生活。直到凌晨四点多天开始亮的时候才结束。随后收拾行李，他登上前往厦门的旅程，我前往自己租住的小屋。

Instead of eating in a restaurant, we bought some food and beer and came back to the dormitory where we lived for four years. We ate, drank and talked. We talked about our ambitions, expectations, lives, and paths ahead until about 4 o’clock in the morning. Then we packed our baggage. He embarked on his way to Xia’men. I took a bus to my small rented room.

其实那天的食物并不怎么好吃，但我永远记着这顿饭，并且时不时回想起来。因为它代表了我的大学生涯和诸多美好的回忆。

In fact, the food that day was not so good, but I always remember this meal and it resurfaces in my memory now and then. After all, it symbolized the end of my college and precious friendship.

雅思口语Wedding话题

1. Are there any special customs about wedding in your region?

这个问题最好用举例子的方式拓展问题，可以用for example, for instance, a typical example is that…这样的方式引出例子，讲完实际的例子后可以表达自己的感受，使语言更生动。表达感受的词汇：amusing:有趣的，好玩的hilarious:令人捧腹大笑的ritual:礼仪，仪式

Sample Answer:Weddings in my hometown have many special customs and traditions. One thing I want to share with you is that on the wedding day, the bride's family may act trying to prevent the bride meeting the groom, while the groom's family tries to get the bride into the groom's family home. I think it is the most interesting part of the ceremony. 2. How have weddings changed in recent years?

这是一个典型的描述改变类的问题类型，注意时态的转换.在谈到以前的时候可以用 in the past; traditionally, historically; in the last xx years/ decades; 在谈到现在的时候可以用nowadays; at present; in recent years; now; these days…引出具体内容。 Sample Answer:I think weddings in China have changed a lot in recent years. In the past, wedding ceremonies were often conducted in traditional ways. However, nowadays, western weddings have gained much popularity. In addition, wedding expenses tend to increase quite a lot. In the present days, some weddings are really extravagant and the wedding bill could go up to 10 million RMB. It is unbelievable for me! 3. Where do couples in your country usually go for their honeymoons?

这个问题可以用分类+举例的方式来拓展，预算比较少的人选择去哪些地方，预算比较多的人会选择去哪些地方。加分词汇：on a tight budget:预算紧张honeymoon destination:蜜月目的地lovebird:相爱的人fairy-tale theme park:童话世界般的主题公园

Sample Answer:I suppose it depends on their budget. People with different financial backgrounds may choose different honeymoon destinations. In my opinion, a beach holiday is always the most popular choice since it can bring them romance as well as relaxation. 4. Where do you think a newly-wed couple should live, living with their parents or on their own?

这是一个询问观点类的问题，注意“I think”的替换表达：I hold the opinion that…, I believe…,I suppose…, from my perspectivefrom my point of view

Sample Answer:Personally, I believe a newly-wed couple should live on their own. I hold this opinion for two reasons. First of all, newly-wed couples need some private space to enjoy the company of each other. Most importantly, living on their own can help them adapt to their marriage life soon. It can be helpful for the stability of their marriage.

雅思口语magazine话题

what magazine it is

what the magazine is about

and explain why you like to read it.

常见误区：

对于part2的话题，大家习惯性的答题方法是两句话总结cue card的上的问题，然后将问题的答案进行一次又一次的重复，因为每个问题其实都没有得到深度的解答，因此，建议同学们将四个问题认真分析，把两分钟的演讲按照提示问题分成四个三十秒钟的回答，这样的答案结构清晰，易于考官理解，并且每个问题因为有三十秒的限制，都能够得到较为详尽的解释，给考官信息量丰富的感觉。

答题思路：

第一点，选题。在选题方面有一个原则即 don’t step out of your comfort zone，翻译成中文是不要走出舒适区，这句话的意思是要求同学们谈论自己熟悉的，了解的题材，而非从网络或者书上借来的内容，越和你自己生活相关，你在谈论的时候也会更有信心，答出的细节也会更多更真实。常见的杂志可分为时尚类，体育类，政治类，历史类，经济类，新闻类等等，选择你喜欢的领域。

第二点，根据话题卡确定答题结构，根据本题要求，给出大家一个样本供参考：a.杂志名称+它的titles，例如是全国最受欢迎杂志，在2014年卖出多少份等等，把它说的厉害一点b.杂志内容+举例，通常内容涵盖好多方面，大家可以拿出一个方面细说c.你看杂志的频率+理由，为什么看的那么频繁或者不频繁，给出原因d.为什么喜欢看 ，讲出理由收尾即可。

表达解析：

When it comes to this topic, I would like to talk about开头句be published发表continuously持续地不间断地first issue第一版edition版本global circulation全球发行量distinctive features特点extensive大量的，广阔的dramatic戏剧性的夸张的never fail to do做某事从未失败catch one’s attention吸引某人 endangered species, global warming and environmental issues濒危物种，全球变暖，环境问题feel close to…对...感觉亲近be born and raised+地点在某地土生土长 When it comes to this topic, I would like to talk about a magazine named National Geographic, it has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888. This magazine is circulated worldwide in nearly 40 local-language editions and had a global circulation of 6.8 million per month.

This magazine contains articles about geography, history and world culture. There are two distinctive features about it, the first thing is its extensive use of dramatic photographs, when people open it, the colourful pictures of rivers, mountains and animals never fail to catch their attention. The secondly thing would be the topics it has, most of the articles are about important issues like endangered species, global warming and environmental issues, more and more people have known a lot about our planet and its’ main challenge through reading it. I read it not often, maybe about once a month, for the reason that I’m buried in my homework for the most of the time, also that I prefer to read it in English, and there are many words that I need to look up, so it takes me a long time to read it. I love reading it mainly because I love to feel close to nature, for someone like me who was born and raised in the city, I seldom have the chance to go to a forest or climb a mountain, so reading National Geographic is a good way for me to know more about about our beautiful mother planet.

雅思口语historical event话题

Describe an important historical event in your country.

You should say:

What the event was

when it happened

How you heard about it

And explain why this historical event is important.

话题任务分析：历史事件这个话题，实际上难度不大。我们从小到大一直都有学习历史课程。相信谈到重要的历史事件的时候，大家都会有很多的想法：辛亥革命、抗日战争、新中国成立、文化大革命、改革开放等等。这些事件本身就比较重大，考官作为外国人也有所耳闻。所以是大家答题时的首选。而一些相对较小的事件，如奥运会、和美国建交等等，一是考官不太熟悉;二是自己说清楚时需要很多的知识储备，考官因为不太熟悉，听起来也比较费力，所以不建议大家选择。答题重点：首先是要对几个历史事件要有比较准确的翻译如：新中国成立： The founding of the People’s Republic of China.抗日战争：The anti-Japanese war文化大革命： The Cultural Revolution

改革开放：the Reform and opening up

其次是时态：

中国考生常常会混用过去时和现在时，这一道试题在描述具体时间的时候，肯定是要使用过去时态的;但是在谈及具体影响的时候，可能就需要使用现在时，甚至是将来时态了。此外，回答一定要注意条理性，注意条理性，注意条理性。重要的问题说三遍!

It’s definitely the reform and opening up initiated by Deng Xiaoping soon after the end of the Cultural Revolution, which, I think is also very important but no match of this one. Anyway, the cultural revolution ended in 1976, and the reform and opening up was initiated in 1978. Of course I, like many other young people in China have learned, systematically a lot from our textbooks. But I didn’t realize its importance until I have read so many reports and books from various channels, some of them are from famous historians now living and teaching in American or British universities. Therefore the bulk of my understanding of it definitely comes from their reports, lectures, etc.

First of all, I want to put the reform and opening up back to the grand narrative of China since 3000 years ago when China first got its name The Empire of the Middle. Ancient Chinese believed that China, or my country, located at the center of the world. Well, this was a narrative, or legend, once held by many nations at the very beginning. However, due to the geopolitical uniqueness, China maintained this legend until the late 19th century when the British Empire and other modern countries invaded China since the 1840s. In no more than 20 years the legend was replaced by one miserable story after another of occupations, of exploitation, of territorial secession. And this strong sense of inferiority lasted for almost eighty or ninety years, until 1949 when Communist party brought the nation together again. And we used another three years to reach a peace deal the the United States in North Korea, and then its the Cultural Revolution. All those events caused a big problem of national identity: who are we? What’s the position of China in the world? We asked ourselves questions like this at that time. So there came Deng Xiaoping, a man who once studied in France in his early twenties. He opened the gate of China. He showed the Chinese people that we had been left behind by western countries. He told us, in an indirect way that our governance was not that successful compared to our capitalist enemies. So, what he did basically was to relocate China in this small planet.

The second reason, of course, is China’s economy. Back in 1978, when China’s top leaders were trying their best to dispose of the problems left by the Cultural Revolution, and nobody knows where China should go. It was Deng Xiaoping pointed out the way and said the economic development is the top task and the reform and opening up solved the problem of how to develop economy. And within ten years, well, twenty years, by the end of 1998, China’s economy was beyond anybody’s imagination. The key point is, no great public turmoil happened in these twenty years, I think this is the importance of the Reform and the Opening up.
