What kinds of books do you like to read?

I'd say I like reading quite a variety of books, both fiction as well as nonfiction. So for example, I'm a big fan of detective novels, because I enjoy trying to solve the crimes while I'm reading, although I have to admit I'm pretty useless at it most of the time! And as for nonfiction stuff, I'd say I mostly like reading things like self-help books and biographies of various people I admire, such as the new book on Steve Jobs, which I'm currently in the middle of reading.

我想说我喜欢阅读各种各样的书，既有小说也有非小说类的。举个例子，我是侦探小说的忠实粉丝，因为我喜欢在读书的时候解决犯罪问题，尽管我不得不承认我大部分时间都毫无用处!至于非小说类书籍，我想说我最喜欢读自助书和各种我喜欢的人的传记，比如关于史蒂夫·乔布斯的新书，我现在正在读这本书。

Are you reading any books at the moment?

Yeah, I'm actually halfway through a couple of books right now. One of them's a novel which a friend of mine lent me, and the other is a book on business, which I bought about a year ago, but didn't get round to reading until now.

是的，我实际上已经读过几本书了。其中一本是我的一个朋友借给我的小说，另一本是我一年前买的一本关于商业的书，但直到现在才抽出时间去看。

雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考：

Well, China has a long and rich history, you know, so we have countless traditions, but today I’d like to talk about what usually happens during the Spring Festival, which is the most important celebration for Chinese people.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, all the family members would come back home for the family reunion dinner, no matter where they are and how far away they are from home. And it’s not an ordinary meal, I mean, every dish has its special meaning. For example, we must eat fish that day, because in Chinese, fish is pronounced as YU which sounds like “surplus”, so you see, that’s a good wish for the coming new year, meaning that the family would make more than enough money.

And I’m sure you know the tradition that everyone has to eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve. The interesting part is, when we make the dumplings, we would mix some coins or peanuts into the fillings, and the one who get the specially made dumpling would have good luck throughout the whole year. I know it sounds a little superstitious, but it’s a time-honored tradition.

And there’s another activity we have to do during dinner, which is like a ritual, that is, to watch the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by China Central Television. It’s an annul variety show, and it’s the most watched TV show all around the world, you know, because of the large population in China.

Anyway, I think it is the tradition that helps people get in festive mood during Chinese New Year, so I believe it’s worth passing on the next generation.

雅思口语遵守时间话题

1. Do you think it's important to be on time?

Yeah, I think it definitely is, because it’s basic manners to be on time for things. You know, I think you‘d agree it’s pretty rude to keep people waiting, and so it kind of leaves a bad impression on people.

是的，我认为这是肯定的，因为准时是最基本的习惯。你知道，我认为你会同意让人们等待是很粗鲁的，所以这会给人们留下坏印象。

2. How do you feel when others are late?

Well I guess it kind of depends, because I mean, if there’s a good reason for being late, you know, like getting stuck in traffic, then I won’t really mind that much. But you know, if the person doesn’t really have any excuse and it’s simply because they couldn’t be bothered to arrive on time, then I suppose I might feel a bit annoyed.

嗯，我想这要视情况而定，因为我的意思是，如果有一个迟到的好理由，你知道，比如堵车，那我就不会那么介意了。但是你知道，如果那个人真的没有任何借口，而且仅仅是因为他们不能按时到达，那么我想我可能会觉得有点恼火。

Other ideas:

If someone’s late by only a few minutes or so, then that’s no big deal, you know, I have no problem at all with that. But if someone’s late by, like, an hour or something, then it can be pretty annoying, especially if I’ve gone to the trouble of getting there on time.

其他想法：

如果某人迟到只有几分钟左右，那没什么大不了的，你知道，我完全没有问题。但如果某人迟到了，比如，一个小时或什么时间，那会很烦人，尤其是当我遇到按时到那里的麻烦时。

3. Are you, yourself, late very often?

If yes:

Yeah, I am. And I know it’s a bad habit, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, I always seem to end up being late for things!

如果是：

是的，我是。我知道这是一个坏习惯，但出于某种原因，不管我怎么努力，我似乎总是迟到。

If no:

No, I wouldn’t say I am. You know, most of the time I’m pretty good with being on time for things, because I always make a quite big effort not to be late.

如果没有：

不，我不会说我是。你知道，大部分时间我都很擅长准时做事，因为我总是努力不迟到。

4. When does time seem to move fast, and when does it seem to move slowly?

Well, I think most people would agree that time moves fast when you’re having fun. And a prime example would be when playing computer games, cos I mean, whenever I play online with my friends, it always seems that only an hour or two has passed, but in actual fact, it’s probably been four or five hours!

我感觉很糟糕，尤其是如果我让其他人等了很长时间。所以，如果我知道我会迟到，我会尽量提前让对方知道，你知道，比如给他们发短信或其他东西，所以至少他们知道什么时候会来找我。

And time normally goes slowly when you’re bored or simply just not enjoying yourself. For example, I remember at school, some of my classes felt like they would never end, when in fact they were just, like, 45 minutes long!

当你感到无聊或只是不开心的时候，时间通常都会很慢。例如，我记得在学校，我的一些班级感觉他们永远不会结束，而实际上他们只是，比如，45分钟!

雅思口语匆忙时刻话题

1. When was the last time you did something in a hurry?

Um… when was it?...Let me have a think…I guess it was probably um… a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday, and I had booked a taxi to arrive at the place where I was staying, at about noon-ish, and I still had some clearing up to do, you know, I didn’t want to leave the place in a mess. So yeah, I was basically in a hurry tidying everything up and getting all my things packed before the taxi arrived.

嗯……什么时候?……让我想想……我想大概是……几个星期前，当我度假时，我预订了一辆出租车去我住的地方，大约中午时分，我还有一些清理工作要做，你知道，我不想把地方弄得一团糟。是的，我基本上很匆忙整理一切，在出租车到来之前把所有东西收拾好。

2. Do you like to finish things quickly?

Yeah I do, cos I really don’t like things to hang over me, you know, it’s just not a nice feeling when you’ve got stuff to do hanging at the back of your mind. So I like to get stuff done as quickly as I can,but saying that, I still want to do it well of course! I mean, I’m not gonna do something haphazardly just to get it done quickly, I still wanna make sure I do it well!

是的，我喜欢，因为我真的不喜欢事情缠着我，你知道，当你有事情要做的时候，这种感觉并不好。所以我喜欢尽可能快地把事情做完，但是说，我还是想把它做好!我的意思是，我不会随便做一些事情，只是为了尽快完成，我仍然想确保我做得很好。

3. What kinds of things do you never do in a hurry?

It’s an interesting question!... I’ve never really thought about that one! What kinds of things will I never do in a hurry?...um… I suppose things I would never do in a hurry would be important things, like coursework which counts towards my final grade, and what else?...I’m kind of hard pressed to think! Um… oh yeah, getting to the airport to catch a flight! You know, I’ll always give myself lots of time to get there, even if it means I arrive at the airport several hours in advance, cos it just gives me peace of mind. I mean, if you miss a flight, then your holiday’s probably gone down the drain, so it can be pretty disastrous!

这是个有趣的问题!…我从来没有真正想过那个!什么事我都不会匆忙去做?……嗯……我想我永远不会匆忙做的事会是很重要的事情，比如课程作业，它关系到我的期末成绩，还有什么别的?…我有点难以思考!嗯……哦，是的，到机场赶飞机!你知道，我总是给自己很多时间去那里，即使这意味着我提前几个小时到达机场，因为这样让我心情平静。我的意思是，如果你错过了一个航班，那么你的假期可能会被耗尽，所以它可能是相当灾难性的!

4. Why do people make mistakes more easily when they are in a hurry?

Um… well thinking about it, I suppose it’s simply because when people are in a hurry, they’re not really thinking clearly. You know, their mind’s kind of um.. how can I put it… I guess you could say flustered, thinking about lots of things at the same time, and not really being focused. So in that state of mind, I think you’d agree it’s easy to overlook things, especially small details, which will likely lead to mistakes being made!

嗯…好好想想，我想这只是因为当人们匆匆忙忙的时候，他们并没有很清楚地思考。你知道，他们的头脑是这样的…我怎么说呢……我想你可以说慌乱，同时想很多事情，却没有真正专注。所以，在这种心态下，我认为你会同意很容易忽略一些事情，尤其是小细节，这可能导致犯错误!
