2011年9月-2012年1月雅思口语考情分析
2011年9月-2012年1月雅思口语考情分析回顾篇回首2011年的雅思口语考试，依然是时而风云变幻，时而风平浪静。
在2011年九月以及今年一月的变题革命中，相信有不少可怜的烤鸭都被突如其来的新题搞得措手不及，因此了解口语话题变化规律及应对技巧至关重要。
每一年，雅思口语话题都会经历周期性的更新。
一般而言，每年一月、五月以及九月的第一场考试口语话题题库都会进行更新，更新幅度为去除20%-30%的旧题目，同时增加20%-30%的新话题，总体话题数量基本持平：Part one 30多个话题，Part Two50-60个话题。
而每次在大变化之后的几个月里，题目就都会相对的固定，不会有太多变动。
今年也是如此，在一月出现了不少新题，直到四月底五月初题目都会相对稳定。
接下来，我将对每部分话题的变化进行分析并给出解决方案。
第一部分：稳中有变，难度不大在2012年一月雅思口语话题变革中，Part One 30%题目进行了更新。
例如，在一月份的考试中出现了同学在过去一年接触很少的新题：Children, Friends, Cell Phones, Driving, Noise, Weekends 等。
这些所谓的新题是指在过去一年的考试中出现频率很低的题目，但是题目本身都很简单。
值得大家注意的是，不管Part One 话题怎么变化，有几个话题是经久不衰的，我把它们称作“Compulsory Topics”, 分别是“Your Study/Work, Your Accommodation 以及Your Hometown”. 一般而言，考官在Part One会围绕三个话题展开向同学提问，在考试过程中至少有一个题目会来自以上三个题目中，而且，该题目为开场的第一个话题。
所以，建议同学对以上三个题目进行充分的练习，做到稳扎稳打。
至于其它题目，Part One 的一切所谓新题都是纸老虎，只要大家把握聊天原则即可，即：轻松自然与考官进行聊天，积极健谈，保持眼神交流。

雅思2011年2月真题及答案解析
雅思2011年2月真题解析及答案Talc PowderA Peter Brigg discovers how talc from Luzenac's Trimouns in France find its way into food and agricultural products - from chewing gum to olive oil. High in the French Pyrenees, some 1,700m above sea level, lies Trimouns, a huge deposit of hydrated magnesium silicate - talc to you and me. Talc from Trimouns, and from ten other Luzenac mines across the globe, is used in the manufacture of a vast array of everyday products extending from paper, paint and plaster to cosmetics, plastics and car tyres. And of course there is always talc's best known end use: talcum powder for babies1 bottoms. But the true versat ility of this remarkable mineral is nowhere better displayed than in its sometimes surprising use in certain niche markets in the food and agriculture industries.B Take, for example, the chewing gum business. Every year, Talc de Luzenac France - which owns and operates the Trimouns mine and is a member of the international Luzenac Group ( art of Rio Tinto minerals ) supplies about 6,000 tones of talc to chewing gum manufacturers in Europe. "We've been selling to this sector of the market since the 1960s," says Laurent Fournier, sales manager in Luzenac's Specialties business unit in Toulouse. "Admittedly, in terms of our total annualsales of talc, the amount we supply to chewing gum manufacturers is relatively small, but we see it as a valuable niche market: one where customers place a premium on securing supplies from a reliable, high quality source. Because of this, long term allegiance to a proven suppler is very much a feature of this sector of die talc market." Switching sources - in the way that you might choose to buy, say, paperclips from Supplier A rather than from Supplier B - is not an easy option for chewing gum manufacturers." Fournier says. "The cost of reformulating is high, so when customers are using a talc grade that works, even if it's expensive, they are understandably reluctant to switch."C But how is talc actually used in the manufacture of chewing gum? Patrick Delord, an engineer with a degre e in agronomics, who has been with Luzenac for 22 years and is now senior market development manager, Agriculture and Food, in Europe, explains that chewing gums has four main components. "The most important of them is the gum base," he says. "It's the gum base that puts the chew into chewing gum. It binds all the ingredients together, creating a soft, smooth texture. To this the manufacturer then adds sweeteners, softeners and flavourings. Our talc is used as a filler in the gum base. The amount vanes between, say, ten and 35 per cent, depending on the type of gum. Fruit flavoured chewing gum, for example, is slightly acidic and would react with the calcium carbonate that the manufacturer might otherwise use as a filler.Talc, on the other hand, makes an ideal filler because it's non-reactive chemically. In the factory, talc is also used to dust the gum base pellets and to stop the chewing gum sticking during the lamination and packing process," Delord adds.D The chewing gum business is, however, just one example of talc's use in the food sector. For the past 20 years or so, olive oil processors in Spain have been taking advantage of talc's unique characteristics to help them boost the amount of oil they extract from crushed olives According to Patrick Delord, talc is especially useful for treating what he calls "difficult" olives. After the olives are harvested - preferably early in the morning because their taste is better if they are gathered in the cool of the day they are taken to the processing plant. There they arc crushed and then stirred for 30-45 minutes. In the old days, the resulting paste was passed through an olive press but nowadays it's more common to add water and ( K-6IH ) the mixture to separate the water and oil from the solid matter The oil and water are then allowed to settle so that the olive oil layer can be ) and bottled. "Difficult" olives are those that are more reluctant than the norm to yield up their full oil content. This may be attributable to the particular species of olive, or to its water content and the time of year the olives arc collected - at the beginning and the end of the season their water content is often either too high or too low. These olives are easy to recognize because theyproduce a lot of extra foam during the stirring process, a consequence of an excess of a fine solid that acts as a natural emulsifier. The oil in this emulsion is lost when the water is disposed of. Not only that, if the waste water is disposed of directly into local fields - often the case in many smaller processing operations - the emulsified oil may take some time to biodegrade and so be harmful to the environment.E "If you add between a half and two percent of talc by weight during the stirring process, it absorbs the natural emulsifier in the olives and so boosts the amount of oil you can extract," says Delord. "In addition, talc's flat, 'platey' structure helps increase the size of the oil droplets liberated during stirring, which again improves the yield. However, because talc is chemically inert, it doesn't affect the color, taste, appearance or composition of the resulting olive oil."F If the use of talc in olive oil processing and in chewing gum is long established, new applications in the food and agriculture industries arc also constantly being sought by Luzenac. One such promising new market is fruit crop protection, being pioneered in the US. Just like people, fruit can get sunburned. In fact, in very sunny regions up to 45 per cent of a typical crop can be affected by heat stress and sunburn However, in the case of fruit, it's not so much the ultra violet rays which harm the crop as the high surface temperature that the sun's rays create.G To combat this, farmers normally use either chemicals or spray a continuous fine canopy of mist above the fruit frees or bushes. The trouble is, this uses a lot of water - normally a precious commodity in hot, sunny areas - and it is therefore expensive. What's more, the ground can quickly become waterlogged. "So our idea was to coat the fruit with talc to protect it from the sun," says Greg Hunter, a marketing specialist who has been with Luzenac for ten years. "But to do this, several technical challenges had first to be overcome. Talc is very hydrophobic: it doesn't like water. So in order to have a viable product we needed a wettable powder - something that would go readily into suspension so that it could be sprayed onto the fruit. It also had to break the surface tension of the cutin ( the natural waxy, waterproof layer on the fruit ) and of course it had to wash off easily when the fruit was harvested. No-one's going to want an apple that's covered in talc."H Initial trials in the state of Washington in 2003 showed that when the product was sprayed onto Granny Smith apples, it reduced their surface temperature and lowered the incidence of sunburn by up to 60 per cent. Today the new product, known as Invelop Maximum SPF, is in its second commercial year on the US market. Apple growers are the primary target although Hunter believes grape growers represent another sector with long term potential. He is also hopeful of extendingsales to overseas markets such as Australia, South America and southern Europe.Question 27-32Use the information in the passage to match each use of tale power with correct application from A.

2011雅思口语8大热点话题
2011雅思口语8大热点话题天道留学HOT TOPIC ONE EducationEducation was one of the most ―hot‖ topics in 2009. Examiners would like to know the different situations of the education in one’s country and how it differs from the others. Good education is one of the most important right a citizen should have .Therefore; examiners would like to hear different views and opinions towards this topic. Without adequate knowledge about this topic, candidates will have a difficult time answering these questions.1. Why parents would prefer to home school their children?Parents prefer to home school their children because it has been observed that children who are home schooled tend to be able to make it to international universities. Most people would be concerned about the child having an abnormal social life as he will not have any classmates when he is home schooled. Surprisingly, home schooled children seemed to be well rounded as compared to children who go to the traditional schooling. Parents can pay particular attention on the weakness of the child and focus on how to improve this when home schooling.2. What are the advantages of Chinese education that you think should be passed on to the next generation?Chinese characters seem to be complicated, yet very interesting because each stroke and character has a meaning of its own. When a character is combined with another character, the meaning becomes different already.Chine se history is very rich in culture and values which are essential in one’s character and lifestyle. Sadly, not all the Chinese are lucky enough to be able to learn all these things.3. Do you think that having a 9 year-compulsory schooling is enough to havea bright future?I am not convinced about the idea that a 9-year compulsory schooling is enough to have a bright future. It would really depend on the child’s emotional maturity, character, capacity, intellect and resilience to be able to have a bright future. Most of the tycoons that we know did not come from well to do backgrounds, thus some of them were not able to finish even the elementary level.A bright future is not only gauged on material gains, but on how much this individual has contributed for the benefit of those around him.HOT TOPIC TWO MediaMedia – Magazine, Newspaper, Radio, Television and Advertisement are all parts of Media. In the IELTS speaking test, there are a variety of questions comparing these different media types because it is considered to be the most powerful source of information that can straightly affect and influence people. Media is widely spread all over different places and countries. Most of the time it can change people’s way of life and way of thinkin g ,so examiners would like to know how you think and feel about it. Here are some examples of questions related to media in the IELTS speaking test.1. Do you think that we should have censorship in TV programs?Yes, I think that we should definitely have censorship in TV programs. I speak not only for the children but for the adults as well. What we see on TV do affect our subconscious level more than we are actually aware of. X rated films and violent programs are major factors why crime and violence are very rampant in the world we are living in.2. Why some people are willing to spend a lot of money in purchasing magazines?Magazines can be source of leisure yet can be informative as well that is why some people do not hesitate to splurge their money on these things. Through magazines, we can read about the life of some of our favorite celebrities. We get to also learn about practical tips about budgeting, fashion, improving our homes, etc. It is a source of entertainment where learning is fun and not forced.3. What kind of influence can advertisement give to people?Advertisement either compels people to buy or refrain them from buying certain things or from doing certain actions without their conscious awareness. It is a very powerful tool to influence the mindset of people both young and old. All types of advertisement seem to have this kind of impact whether they are found on the billboards on the trains, buses and roads, whether they are found in the magazines or newspapers, and whether they are seen on TV. Advertisement has great power to boost or break a particular brand.HOT TOPIC THREE Science and TechnologyScience and technology – This is one of those things that is changing rapidly in the society. Computers, MP 4, appliances are all part of the development of Science and technology. Any kind of change about these things usually has a very strong impact on us, some positive and some negative. Questions about pros and cons about this topic are often asked by the examiners during the exam. And anything about science and technology can become a question in IELTS speaking test. Here are some example questions candidates should know.HOT TOPIC FOUR Flat and HouseFlat and House –The most ―in‖ topic in the last qu arter of the year 2009. It is actually also one of the hottest topics last year, the year 2008. The difference between house and flat are the most in demand question about this topic. To be able to answer the questions well, candidates should at least know the difference between the two and have opinions about each one of them. What kind of decorations, and things that can be found inside a house or apartment should also be known by the candidates who are preparing to take the test?HOT TOPIC FIVE LawLaw – This topic caused panic and anxiousness to the students in the first quarter and through the second quarter of this year. Because most of the students do not have anything to say about it. Plus, the fact that this topic needs a certain depth in both their language ability and knowledge to be able to conquer and answer the questions about law. In my opinion, students should know and be definite about the punishment of the law that they want to say. If not, or students are not sure of their knowledge, it is wise to give opinionated answers rather than giving information and details about it .Take note : There are no right or wrong in one’s opinion!HOT TOPIC SIX TransportationTransportation — Transportation topic in IELTS speaking test includes questions about bus, subway, train etc. Bicycle is often asked during the exam because it represents a strong culture of the Chinese people in terms of transportation. Examiners like to ask questions regarding special culture and means of lifestyle of a place. It is indeed a part of every one’s life.HOT TOPIC SEVEN PollutionPollution – A huge problem in the society that should be solved immediately and that is why this topic is also tackled in IELTS speaking test. We are facing a variety of pollution problem such as air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution etc. Examiners would like to know how the candidates feel about this serious problem and methods to solve them .HOT TOPIC EIGHT PopulationPopulation – Population is indeed the biggest and worst problem of China. The effect of this problem is widely talked about in news, debates and even in IELTS oral exams. How to reduce the population is also one of the most important thing that people should care about. Adequate knowledge about questions regarding the negative effects of population and positive ways of solving this problem are necessary if you want to take the IELTS exam.资料来源:/spoken/。

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Be rnie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling （摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating o nly the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was notB ernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I for got that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I h ave learned again to throw the rest away.46. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud47. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A. They ate it in a polite way.B. They only ate its best part.C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.48. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money49. The underlined part ―the heart of the watermelon‖ in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer’s busy lifeC. the writer’s decision of making moneyD. the writer’s hope of enjoying life50. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. one has to work hard to reach his goalB. a friend in need is a friend in deedC. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balanceBWhen the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. ―The cows aren’t bothered,‖ says Marie Audet. ―They are animals of habit;they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.‖The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a ―greenhouse‖ gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.51. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.A. make electricityB. produce fertilizerC. build their farmD. feed the cows52. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?A. Marie Audet does the workB. The job is done by machineC. The cows lift the cow wastesD. Bacteria get to work on them53. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?A. The power of moving water.B. The heat of burning coal.C. The power of sunlight.D. The heat of the methane gas54. The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best descr ibed as ______.A. reducingB. savingC. recyclingD. changing55. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?A. To introduce a new way of making electricityB. To explain how a new energy works betterC. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD. To explain the reasons for green house effectC第二节：请仔细阅读第56—60题中各人的情况说明，从A—F 六个套餐菜单中为各位选出符合要求的最佳选项，其中一项为多余选项。

2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文Felix2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文2011.1.8Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.For centuries, people have fantasized that someday robots could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants. Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence researches. However, the issue of the wide application of robots can be deemed as beneficial as detrimental.On the one hand, there is no denying that robots bring about an array of positive aspects, such as high work efficiency and low work risk. First, the workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes, which allows individuals to be involved in other activities. Second, it is widely acknowledged that robots could do dangerous jobs instead of people in high risk businesses like mining and construction; therefore, a host of people’s safety can be ensured to a considerable degree.On the other hand, a great number of people hold an opposite opinion, asserting there are numerous demerits which should not be neglected. To begin with, people lose jobs when machines take their places, especially in the mass production industry such as automobile business. In factories of the famous carcompany Ford, almost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision. As a consequence, employees will have great pressure. Admittedly, there are indeed some occupations that robots might perform much better than human beings, but they cannot work in a flexible way as people do, and they are less likely to make corresponding changes once something unexpected happens. Then human beings’ supervision tends to become imperative.Taking all factors into account, robots have many merits that make our life easier and more convenient, but workers may suffer from unemployment stress. (292 words2011.1.15Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ equal numbers of men and women workers. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? The gender imbalance has long been a general phenomenon in the labour market. Some analysts argue that it is impossible to eliminate the underrepresentation of women in job markets, while others propose that women should be entitled the same opportunity to be engaged in a position. The essay will compare these two opinions before giving my own opinion.From some people’s point of view, the practice that equal numbers of male and female workers should be employed is unreasonable. First, the packed-schedule of certain positions is likely to make women so busy with their jobs that their family life is neglected. Another point is that it is much easier for female workers to be influenced by marriage and motherhood, and their jobs are often interrupted by daily domestic events. To keep the continuity of work, employers are more inclined to put male workers into their top priority. Opponents of this issue hold that the positive aspects of the practice are more influential. First of all, employing equal numbers of male and female workers can help create positive working environment, for it is usually the case that men or women perform less aggressive in the face of the opposite gender. Second, there is a large possibility that men and women workers bring their respective talents into full play since men are more determined and less likely to be affected by external influence and women are generally more careful and patient. Finally, the move could be regarded as a sign of equality, for in many workplaces, employers used to limit the numbers of women workers and welcome a substantial percentage of males to join them. The practice that equal numbers of men and women workers are accepted indicates the realisation of women’s value.To sum up, it does bring drawbacks to some workplaces if equal numbers of men and women workers are employed, but this cannot deny the benefits of the practice. This essay is inclined to maintain that equal numbers of male andfemale workers can be employed in the same workplace given that there is a rational division of labour, with all employees developing their own particular advantages for mutual benefits.(360 words)2011.1.22Nowadays some people have the anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. What are the reasons? Who should take responsibility for dealing with it?A dramatic rise in crime rate during the past several years has become a major concern among the public. It is urgent to identify the underlying root causes and adopt proactive approaches.A variety of factors are responsible for the surge of anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. The predominant factor resulting in this problem is the lack of education. People who fail their school or know little about laws have a much higher likelihood of committing crimes. Excessive exposure to violence is another cause that leads to anti-social behaviors , especially the juvenile delinquency. Without the proper parental guide, some young adults will probably become addicted to the Internet and become heavy net users. Some contents are contaminated by online violence and pornography, which is closely linked to youngsters’ aggressive behaviors.Accordingly, the crime prevention requires the joint efforts from both the government and parents. The government should increase its intervention, including launching public anti-crime campaigns, enforcing new laws and popularizing education. A civilized society is characterized by a high literacy rate and a low crime rate. The negative relationship between these two parameters implies that one will be away from a life of crime if given the access to education. To tackle youth crimes, parents should play a more supportive and loving role, attaching more importance to their children’s emotional needs, limiting their access to unfavorable contents on the Internet, and creating more interesting after-school entertainment.As suggested above, this unpleasant phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including poor education and lack of parental supervision. The government should take more effective measures to curb crimes and parents are supposed to give correct instructions to their children.(279words)2011.1.27Some people think that it is necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries, but other people think that it is not necessary to travel abroadbecause all the information can be seen on television and the Internet. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.There is a new trend that an increasing number of people choose to travel overseas to form a global perspective. This issue is full of controversy, with concerns being expressed over whether it is necessary to go overseas to know more about other countries, since all the information can be gained through either television or the Internet.A serial of benefits can be brought by traveling abroad to learn about a different country. Initially, it is a memorable life experience that we cannot acquire in our domestic country. As a result, only in real life contexts can people comprehend the culture, customs, or its people etc. Sound as the above statement seems, there are still a group of people holding the view that there is no need to travel abroad. The main factor is that the advanced technology, such as televisions, the Internet, can provide people with almost any information about other places. However, it is unpractical to rely on the media excessively to get any news they want to obtain. Spreading rumors on the Internet are always happening around us. Therefore, only when we experience them personally, can we confirm the accuracy of the information.To sum up, it is imperative for people to travel overseas to learn different nations. Televisions and the Internet are, to some extent, a feasible way to obtain information, but the real experience of traveling abroad largely outweighs the dependence on the media to learn about a different country.(245words)2011.2.12Tourism is an excellent way to develop country, but it also can cause some harm. How can a country ensure tourism benefit the development? The market of international tourism is flourishing as never before and is playing a vital part in the development of one country. However, this booming is accompanied by the soaring number of tourists, which may bring about a substantial number of demerits. Therefore, how to guarantee the sustainable development of tourism and develop our tourism vigorously will be analyzed in this essay.The merits of tourism to one country’s development are beyond doubt. For one thing, tourism can attract a host of foreigners to visit and consume during the tour. For another, the excellent impression of the places of interests will enhance one country’s international image and then stimulate international investments in not only tourism but also other essential sections. Meanwhile, the demerits of unguided tourism can never be ignored and will be represented as follows. First, a sizeable percentage of people may pose a threat to the historical buildings. Second, trash produced in an astonishing amount goes with the super large flow of people, particularly during the peak tourist time. Third, a vast number of people flood into one place, whichaggravates the traffic pressure greatly, contributing too much inconvenience to the local dwellers.To handle above problems and ensure tourism can attract people continuously and benefit economy development, the following methods are strongly suggested. Initially, government should pay close attention to the protection and renovation of historical buildings. Subsequently, the awareness of environmental conservation should be strongly strengthened among the public, therefore efficient environmental campaigns are inevitable. Ultimately, reasonable distribution and improvement of transport facilities should be put on table.(262words)2011.2.17Some believe creative artists should be supported financially by government of their county, but some others suggest creative artists find finance support in other sources instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Arts play a significant role in individuals’ lives. It is widely acknowledged that sufficient investment for artists is necessary if people strive to develop arts. However, whether the government should support them financially or they should find support from other sources arouses a contentious argument.On the one hand, it brings about a wide range of blessings for the government to give financial aids to creative artists. First, the artistic level is more likely to get a promotion with stable fund guarantee. As a result, creative artists can be fully dedicated to their jobs. Second, considering the great significance and profits that arts generate for the nation, for instance, providing numerous products and designs that drive innovation and shape a state’s cultural character, the government should encourage the development of arts with financial assistance.On the other hand, people hold an opposite point of view, asserting that creative artists should gain financial aids from other resources. To begin with, compared with other employees earning money by themselves, creative artists are supposed to strive for the financial support from other sources by their own efforts rather than depend on the taxpayer’s expenses. Furthermore, finding financial support on their own allows creative artists to have enough pressure to motivate themselves, producing great works. Most importantly, in many industries, such as advertising, design, trade show，creative artists are always in shortage. As a result, it is not too hard to access the supply of fund if they have qualified works.As suggested above, financial support from the government indeed generates an array of benefits for creative artists. However, the real creative artists are someone who work with their own strengths to obtain sponsorships, instead of relying on the government.(287 words)2011.2.19Some people think that women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force; others say women are not suited for such kind of work. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.Over the past several years, the change in women’s participation in nearly every walk of life has been beyond people’s wildest expectations. However, a heated debate with regard to whether women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force has arisen, which draws enormous attention from the public.On the one hand, some people assert that since the society consists of nearly equal numbers of both genders, sex discrimination must be eliminated and ladies can make the same amount of contribution to the police force and military force. The first standpoint is that females have inborn merits standing them in good stead. They are less likely to commit faults, for they are good at tackling matters with accuracy and caution. In addition, another impressive and prominent personality trait is that females have great endurance of hardships, especially under grueling conditions, and their tenderness allows them to excel in positions involving interaction and communication with human personnel.Notwithstanding their strengths, females have some limitations they may need to overcome. One obstacle which cannot be ignored is the social attitude. Females have to cope with the pressure exerted by their families, acquaintances or friends, as serving the army is widely seen as a deadly job which is exclusively for males. The other one is females’ physical and mental qualifications. It is commonly known that homicides and robbers are mostly strong, fierce and cruel, and policewomen are more likely to become victims rather than bring them to justice. Also, it seems to be true that military training and the war field could be too intense and sometimes brutal, far beyond the limits of ordinary women’s physical and mental levels.In conclusion, females should be viewed as equal to males in the defense force and their presence should be encouraged. Nature gives different attributes to both men and women, which is supposed to optimize the productivity and efficiency of the society, rather than cause gender discrimination.(327 words)2011.2.26Countries should try to produce all the food that population eats and import food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?There has been a steady increase in the demand for importing food throughout the world in recent years. There are indications that this trade activity has brought various benefits, but importing food is very often criticized as unnecessary and extravagant, especially when air freight is involved.It is important to note that importing food is becoming increasingly popular among the general population. This is mainly due to the fact that countries differ in their product structures because of dissimilar natural resources, climates and geographic features. By adopting an enlightened policy and promoting trade activities with other countries, a country can facilitate the exchange of goods, services and capitals with the rest of the world and promote economic development. However, some countries might become addicted to importing and overlook the possibility of developing a self-contained economy. Government funding in the scientific research can make it possible to achieve a breakthrough on the scarcity of resource and increase the yield, thereby resolving the food supply crisis.Moreover, countries in our planet vary in terms of their resource distributions, climatic conditions and topography, which, to a large extent, affects their population as well as the food production. The imbalance between the capability of producing food and the food consumption makes it hard for a country to produce all the food to meet its people’s requirements.As suggested above, it is unpractical for every nation to supply all the food that the population need, and under favorable conditions, import of food ought to be encouraged. (251words)2011.3.5Some people believe governments should spend money in saving languages of few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Of the thousands of languages in use now, some are used by a huge number of people, like English and Chinese, while some others only have very few speakers. With the increasing efforts of the international community to save those languages used by few speakers, a debate as to whether governments should take measures to save them has arisen.Supporters of governments’ efforts to save the languages verging on extinction hold that any effort made to preserve a language is well worthwhile. As is known to all, each language is loaded with an enormous cultural heritage, reflecting the knowledge, thought and faith of its speakers. Preserving a language which is dying out, we conserve the cultural diversity; losing a language, we lose a cultural heritage. Rare animals cannot be wiped out just because they are few, and old buildings of historical value cannot be pulleddown owing to its bad condition. In the same vein, languages with few speakers cannot be abandoned to their fate.Opponents to governments’ measures to save the languages from the brink, however, claim that the efforts are nothing but a waste of money. First, preserving such languages from extinction, which needs a considerable sum of money, and lets alone substantial human resources, does not bring real benefits. The money spent in unrewarding activities, if invested in more significant undertakings such as poverty alleviation, AIDS combating, scientific researching, etc., will be greatly beneficial to man. Moreover, preserving a language is not conducive to the world peace. After all, when marooned in their own world, people become less receptive to and tolerant of things and values different from theirs, a situation which can easily rub salt against wounds and thus gives rise to antagonism and even hatred.In conclusion, my opinion is that it is worthwhile for governments to spend money saving languages with few speakers, or languages facing extinction. A language is a cultural heritage, which is invaluable and certainly merits preservation at any cost.（329words）2011.3.10In some countries, children start school at the age of seven, so they could have more time to build relationship with their parents. In othercountries, some think that children start school as young as possible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.It is true that a substantial number of students start school at seven or later in some countries and their parents believe it is significant to establish closer relationship with their children. Conversely, some people from other countries are in favour of the idea that the earlier schooling, the better relationship with parents. Personally, I intend to support the later opinion.A sizeable percentage of people, especially in the developing countries, are convinced that children should be educated in their early age at home to form a strong connection with their parents. For one thing, such a close connection can enhance not only parents’ authority but also their influence. As young children might be affected by others, including friends and strangers, to form unpleasant behaviour, parents must guide their children to distinguish the good from the bad authoritatively. For another, the close relationship can help children to maintain the confidence to face the new things appearing in their life constantly as they know their parents can help them to deal with them if needed.However, a substantial percentage of parents in the developed countries are of the belief that it is earlier schooling instead of later one that can help the foundation of children-parents relation. For one thing, young children will definitely meet friends in the school and learn from them. Bad influence as it may exert, teachers will guide students to avoid bad influence and teach themhow to handle this problem properly. Parents can gain information immediately from teachers and communicate with their children after school, thereby forming a better relationship. For another, early schooling enables children to deal with problems on their own, and this can trigger their confidence to face challenge independently. With their growth, they will realize numerous problems cannot be handled independently, they would ask for their parents’ help, which can noticeably promote the family relationship.My view is that starting school as soon as possible can enlighten and awaken children’s awareness concerning the relationship with friends and teachers when facing problems, therefore enhancing and ensuring the parents-children relationship by handling tho se problems under parents’ instruction and suggestion.(354 words)2011.3.12Competitiveness is a positive quality for people in most societies. How does this affect individuals? Is it a positive or negative trend?It is not uncommon today that competitiveness has been penetrating into people’s everyday life and has been deemed as one of people’s essential merits. This essay tends to illustrate how individuals have been influenced bycompetitiveness and sufficient analysis over whether it is a beneficial or detrimental trend will also be demonstrated in an array of aspects.A host of people assert that it is a beneficial trend for human society in terms of the upsides it brings about, such as the economical boom and improvement of public health. In the first place, competitiveness is inclined to boost the economy at an international level. For example, as a result of the competitiveness, all companies may strive to invest a substantial number of money to produce new products for more profits, thus contributing to the convenience of people’s daily life. In the second place, it will also accelerate the betterment of public health care. As individual country will compete for improving its own citizens’ life, medical care would be thought highly of by the authorities and global death toll from diseases may largely decrease. Meanwhile, a significant number of people hold a negative view towards competitiveness. They say a sizeable percentage of people will lose jobs due to the heated competition in all areas. In this way, it is baneful for a large number of people and the government in turn will shoulder more pressure from those jobless people. They also believe fierce competition may result in deterioration of our environment. They fear that a massive proportion of factories may pursue profits at the expense of environment. Take paper-making industry for example. Factories will sacrifice acres of forests to live on in the competitive society.To sum up, I tend to believe a certain degree of competitiveness is necessarily adopted in order to have the society progress, while contentious competitiveness will inevitably spark off impairments to our life both physically and psychologically.（321words）2011.3.19Computer technologies are more accessible and cheaper, as a result, more adults work at home and children study at home. Is this a positive or negative development?As a result of the soaring advancement of technologies, the use of computer has become prevalent in people’s everyday life. For example, a substantial number of people ranging from workers to students prefer to work and study at home instead of physically sitting in the office and at school.Few would deny that learning or working through computer at home seems beneficial to people in a number of aspects. Initially, the most obvious merit can be attributed to the release of traffic jams. Since less people tend to use the public or private vehicles commuting from work or school to their home, there is a lower possibility of the incidence of traffic jams. Subsequently, it is convenient for people to work or study at home. Distance learning program is a good casein point. It is the distance learning programs through computer that largely helps people who are unable to go to school have access to education.On the contrary, a host of people oppose the opinion above. They believe working or studying at home will probably reduce the communication among colleagues and classmates. They fear that this may encourage people to be more indifferent to others, thus resulting in relationship not as close as in the past. Another consideration for those people lies with people’s physical impairments induced from sitting in front of the computer too long. Since all work needs to be done on computer, barely can people spare a minute for rest and a cup of coffee, which will inevitably hazard people health.All in all, this development can be taken as beneficial as detrimental. It is acceptable for people to work or study with computer at home for sake of the convenience it brings about, but it will also spark off health-related problems and the decrease of people’s social interaction.（304 words）2011.4.2Many people think that cheap air travel should be encouraged because it gives ordinary people the freedom to travel further. However, others think that this leads to environmental problem, and so air travel shouldbe more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.In today’s world, advanced transportation technology has made travelling modes more diverse than ever before. Some people prefer air travel to other ways due to taking the airplane being more comfortable and going further. They, consequently, consider that the cheaper air travel is, the more benefits ordinary people gain, while others especially campaigners for environmental protection propose that w e should limit air travel through increasing the air travel’s price. I think this is an impractical suggestion.Cheap air travel, which can benefit the less-wealthy people, is an inevitable fact of life. Because of the stagnant market and the fierce competition in the area of civil aviation companies, numerous promotion programs are offered to passengers which make air travel affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, air trips make it possible for people to travel around the world quickly and freely, which ensures the growth of modern industries such as international tourism. However, those people who insist on limiting air travel through raising tickets’ prices can reduce environment pollution have made a huge mistake. Air trips can ferry far more passengers and are also much longer than others. Therefore, when we think an increasing amount of pollution is produced by air of per passenger and kilometer travelled, the other travel mode such as a car journey is no more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly than a flight. Discouraging people to travel by air, which will cause less pollution, is a certain improper act.In conclusion, cheap air travel has become an inescapable trend. Instead of persuading people to sacrifice their comfort and convenience, we should focus on improving clean and renewable fuels and more efficient airplanes that will not put the environment in danger. (279 words)2011.4.16Many people believe it is important to protect environment, but they make no effort to do it themselves. What is the reason? Do you have any suggestion for individuals to protect environment?The issue of environmental degradation, if not solved effectively, is believed to impose a severe thr eat to people’s survival in the years ahead. The significance of protecting environment has been staggering into the public, but few people take actions to do it. The reasons will be analyzed followed by some responsible solutions.Several reasons would account for the discouragement of individuals to take few actions to protect environment. First, it is true that tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale and complexity of environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources, so individuals choose to relieve their duty rather than do as much as they can to cope with these problems. Another obstacle which makes individual actions almost impossible is government intervention or even。
雅思口语part 2参考答案
地点类话题:理想的家:The apartment is located not far from a very pleasant park along the river. It’s a quiet neighborhood compared with the noisy city center. It’s a three-bedroom apartment. It’s quite spacious. I think it covers about 130 square meters. She lives on the tenth floor and she has two balconies with a nice view over the river. On a clear day, you can see the mountains that surround Hangzhou. It is a lot of fun to live here, I mean getting so close to nature and escape from the busy city life.As soon as you get inside, you are in the living room. There’s a huge couch facing a wide-screen TV. I can put a wooden coffee table in front of it. Because of the large screen doors, the place is very bright. I like to read a lot and she has set up many bookshelves to display her many novels and DVD collection.Two of the bedrooms have a private bathroom, which is very convenient when I have some friends to come over. There are nice curtains on the windows and fancy cushions on the beds. It looks very cozy.Finally, the kitchen is quite small but well-equipped. I will have an oven and hot plates, a microwave and a big fridge. It’s a nice and interesting place and I really wish I could own a house like this someday.历史建筑：Ok, well, the historical building I’ve decided to talk about is the former residence of a Chinese poet, who I think was called …or something like that, and although it’s not really that well-known a building, the reason I’ve chosen to describe it rather than any of the other old places I’ve been to is that I’m pretty sure you won’t have heard any other students talking about this one, so it should hopefully be a bit more interesting for you! Anyway, I suppose it must have been about 7 or 8 years ago when I went there, so it was quite a while ago, and as for why I visited it, well if I’m gonna be totally honest with you, I wasn’t actually all that keen on going, because at that time I had absolutel y no interest in history or poetry, so it wasn’t my idea of fun at all, you know, I would much rather have been at home watching TV! But my parents thought it would be a good idea to take me there, as they said it would help me understand more about Chinese culture and also what life used to be like when they were children. And as well as this, I think they may have also secretly hoped that going there might spark my interest in poetry or calligraphy.But anyway, as for what people were doing there, well, there wasn’t really that much to see, apart from the calligraphy and photographs which were hanging up on the walls. So people were mainly just walking around the house looking at the various things on the walls and reading the captions which, I have to a dmit, I didn’t bother doing myself, as I wasn’t the least bit interested in any of it. I guess I was just too young to really appreciate it.And with regard to how I felt about the building itself, well if truth be told, it wasn’t really all that impressive, because it was basically just a small two-storey house with a little garden running around it. So it probably looked pretty much what most other houses would have looked like 50 years ago. But then again I guess it wasn’t meant to look that impressive, because the whole point of preserving the house was to commemorate the life of the poet, so the focus was on him rather than the building itself.What else? Um..…. Oh yeah, of course, you can go on a boat on the lake, and if it’s your first time there, then it’s something you should definitely do, because I’d say it’s probably the best way to experience the beauty of the lake and its surroundings.So yeah, it’s a really interesting place to visit, and if you haven’t been there yet, you should definitely go if you ever have the chance!人物类话题：我的好友:Let me tell you about my childhood friend. His name is Jeff and we met in primary school where we used to be classmates. And we happened to go to the same high school as well. We have built very strong relationship over the years. Jeff is my best friend because I can really count on him: he’s the person I trust most. He’s extremely considerate. He’s very thoughtful. He always cares about other people.We often get together to play basketball. We hang out on the weekend. We have a lot of things in common. We both like sports; we both love to watch the NBA and especially the Houston Rockets. We sometimes play online games too, or watch movies together.Jeff is a very good listener. He’s very enthusiastic and always optimistic. Whenever I have a problem at school, he’s always there to cheer me up. He’s fun to be with.Last year, we had to study hard for the college entrance examination and he helped me with the science subjects. He’s a hard working student and he can be serious too because he wants to become a layer, and he knows what his priorities are.Next year, I’ll go to Australia to get a Bachelor’s degree and Jeff will stay in China, but I know that we will keep in touch through emails and messages. And even if we don’t get to see each other often, we both know we can rely on each other and this is true friendship.想了解更多的名人:I would like to know more about Kobe Bryant, the former NBA player from the Los Angeles Lakers. I’m a big fan of him, and it would be an honor and a huge privilege to spend some time in private with him. Kobe Bryant won 4 national championships, and he was elected MVP (Most Valuable Player) a couple of years ago. He was regarded as the best player since Michael Jordan retired.If I had the opportunity to know him more, I would like to interview him and ask him a few questions on his childhood. I would like to get to know about his basketball performances when he was a child, how much he practiced, how he practiced. I read that he refused to go to university, and directly enrolled in the NBA. I’m curious to know when he actually realized he had the potential to become a successful NBS player.I would definitely ask him to tell me about other athletes he has played with or against. I would love to know what kind of relationship he has with Shaquille O’Neal. They used to play together. O’Neal is said to be quite a character: you know, he’s a real funny guy. They won 3 titles with the Lakers when Kobe was much younger, and maybe he could tell me some anecdotes about O’Neal. I would also like to ask him whether or not he ever talks to Lebron James, who is his big rival in terms of being the best in the league.In addition, I would be very interested in knowing what his dreams are for the future. In terms of career, he has already won everything. I would ask him how he motivates himself, and whether or not he ever gets tired of playing.Finally, I would inquire about his personal life and his daily routine when he’s not playing. I wonder what kinds of movies he likes, who his favorite singers are, stuff like that. I would like to ask him about how he invests his money: in real estate, in the stock exchange, or something else? If it seems like these questions are too private, I would give him a ball and ask him to show me a few moves instead!想了解更多的名人:Let me tell you about Yao Ming, one of the most famous celebrities in China. He was an incredible athlete who played in the NBA. He is 2.29 meters, and he was the tallest player in that league at the time. He was obviouslyvery skillful and talented, but he was also a great Chinese ambassador overseas.He was born in Shanghai in 1980, and he played basketball there for quite a few years before entering the NBA. He was drafted by the Houston Rockets and has been playing for them since 2002. He was a hero in China because very few Chinese players get their chance in the NBA. Many young Chinese boys regarded Yao Ming as their idol, and he has really made a name for himself.Yao was everywhere in the national news, and journalists always reported on his achievements or difficulties on a daily basis. Because of his size, Yao Ming often got injured, but he also kept busy with many advertising campaigns. I read somewhere that he was the richest celebrity in China.People admire Yao Ming because of his hard work and also because of his humanity: he always organizes charity events and he hosted a telethon to raise money for SARS a few years ago. After the devastating earthquake that hit Sichuan, he donated 2 million dollars. In addition, a few years ago, he bought his former club in Shanghai, as they were facing financial problems. He hoped to help the club regain its prominent place among China’s other teams.Yao Ming is respected by everyone and I believe he will be remembered long even now he stops playing basketball. I think he’s a well-rounded man, and that’s what people appreciate about him.我尊重的老人：Ok, well after a bit of thought, the person I’ve decided I’d like to talk about is my grandad, who I learned an incredible amount from, and I mean I’ve learned how to invest wisely in the stock market from him.And as for why he taught me this, well firstly, it was because my grandad understood the importance of investing, as he would always say that it’s much better having your money work for you rather than you working for money! So that’s one thing, and I should also mention the fact that he used to really love playing the stock market. In fact, I think I would go so far as saying it was probably what he spent most of his time doing, partly, I suppose, because it kept his mind active, but more importantly because he saw it as a way of helping the family. In other words, he wanted to invest his pension so as to increase the inheritance that he would eventually pass down to us, which was very considerate of him, as was so many other things he’s done for me and the rest of my family.Oh, and I suppose one other reason for him teaching me about the stock market is that he was aware that at school, we weren’t really taught about money or investing, so he must have realized that this was something that he was in a good position to teach me about.But anyway, as for how I felt about learning all this from my grandad, well obviously, I was really grateful to him for taking the time to teach me and share all his knowledge of the stock market, such as what to look for in a company before investing in it.And because of this, I’m happy to say that I’ve been pretty successful, up to now, at picking good shares, and this is a skill I’ll be able to use for the rest of my life. So I feel super lucky, and will make sure I pass the same knowledge onto my own children and grandchildren!领导力强的朋友:Ok then well the person that I’d like to talk about is actually my good friend Sarah, who is an events manager, and from what she’s told me, she’s extremely good at it and she proves to be a good leader.But um, firstly, I guess I should briefly explain what she actually does in her job, and uh, to put it simply, she basically manages the planning and running of events. So that would include things like um, arranging the venue, uh getting everything set up, um.. what else…uh,…oh yeah, food of course, invitations, all that kind of stuff. Besides, she has to manage 20 members in her team. So she finds it pretty challenging, what with all the responsibilities that come with the job, but also very rewarding, especially if the event went well, and she and her subordinates are like a family. They work closely together in every project.Anyway, as for why I think she’s doing a good leader, well um, I think it’s mainly due to the fact that it kind often compasses so many different things and her team members respect her. And I mean, you know, every event she does is, in some way, different to what she’s done before. So as a result, she’s constantly, like, experiencingand learning new things. And also, you know, she has to take the airplane to travel all around the country putting on various events. Um… and in the process, she gets to meet a lot of different people, including celebrities, occasionally. She seems to be able to handle all of these quite well not only because she’s flying all around the country, but she won the awards of “the best employee of the year” for a few times already even though she has worked in that company for no more than 10 years. Um…yeah, that’s pretty much it then. Thanks for listening.事物类话题：有趣的对话:Well, I’d like to talk about an interesting conversation with one of my neighbours, who I guess must be approaching her 60s now. She just retired from her profession as a teacher.When I bumped into her a few days ago, I mentioned to her a problem I was having with an essay I had to write, because it was a two and a half thousand-word essay about something extremely dull, and, for the life of me, I couldn't think of anything to write. But she just said to me, “forget about how much you need to write, just imagine you can write it as long or as short as you want.” This was a really interesting approach, I haven’t thought of that before. This was very inspiring and I proceeded to ask her some other questions like how to study well. She gave me really good advice. This conversation was interesting. And the approach she recommended was amazing, because when I changed my mindset to how she suggested, it suddenly became much easier to write the essay, and I even ended up writing over three thousand words.So this is just one example, and I guess it partly explains why I like talking with her a lot, because, she's always able to give me good advice, whether it be in my studies or any other aspect of my life, and I'm super grateful to her for this.I should also finally mention that she's an incredibly nice lady, so it's always really enjoyable chatting with her.Thanks very much for listening.你喜欢的一个童年玩具素材1:Transformer:On my tenth birthday, my parents bought me a transformer as a birthday present. When I opened the gift box, I was really surprised by what I was seeing in front of me. It was an awesome transformer that I had dreamedabout for ages. The moment I saw this toy, I was absolutely over the moon. It was pretty huge and looked like a hip yellow car, and it could be shifted from a car to a robot action figure and back again. The transformer had a really nice color and finish. And it came with a nice handgun as a weapon and different accessories. It was super cool! And with the transformer, there was a card from my parents saying” Sweetie, you mean everything in the world to us and you are forever the apple of our eyes. Happy Birthday! Love Mum and Dad.” I’m telling you, although I was pretty young at that time, those words impressed me a lot!你喜欢的一个童年玩具素材2:One special toy that I remember getting was a Lego car. It was a birthday present from my parents. I can't remember exactly how old I was, but I was probably about 10 or 11.The special thing about this car was that I had to build it myself out of hundreds of pieces of Lego. The pieces came in a box with a picture of the finished car on the front and I had to follow step-by-step instructions to put all the pieces together in the correct way.This wasn't an easy task because the car even had an engine, movable seats and gears. It took mea day or two to make and this required a lot of concentration. When the car was finished it looked great, and I felt so proud of myself. But I remember that I didn’t play with the car very much; the fun part had been the process of building it.你喜欢的一个童年玩具素材3:When I was a child, my favorite toy was an action figure called Ao Te Man. It was from a Japanese cartoon on TV that all of us used to watch. I remember begging my mother to buy me the little robot so that I could play with my friends during recess at school.It was a 30-centimeter-tall plastic action figure and it cost my mother a lot of at the time. I think it was som thing like 200 yuan which is ridiculous for a simple toy, but every one of my classmates had one, so I really insisted on having one too.That was a long time ago, but I still remember it had a blue armor and it held a sword and a shield. The robot had joints which allowed it to rotate and swing its arms.I remember how we used to make the robots fight each other after school or on the weekend. We would imitate the cartoon we had watched and make them fly around our universe. We pretended to be the superheroes saving the world from destruction by alien robot monsters. It was a lot of fun and we spent untold hours imagining different plots for adventure stories in which our robots would attack each other.I think these games are very good for children becau se they can socialize and create their own stories; it’s beneficial for the kids to keep their imaginations active. One good way to do this is to imitate TV shows, even though nowadays cartoons are too often rather violent, which could have a negative effect on kids.So yeah, that’s pretty much it.你满意的一个物品素材1:Ok, well the first thing that came to mind when I saw this topic was olive oil, because I bought a bottle of it not that long ago, and if I’m not mistaken, I think it was from either Italy or Spain, so that’s what I’ve decided to talk about.And as for where I got it, well, it was actually just from my local super market, because it’s now started selling quite a few imported products, which I’m really happy about, as I always enjoy trying new things, especially stuff from other countries.And with regard to what I use the olive oil for, well, I’d say I use it for mo st of my cooking now, because it goes well with pretty much everything, especially bread and pasta, as you probably know, so I’m getting through it quite quickly, and I think I’m actually turning into a bit of an addict!But anyway, as for what made me dec ide to buy it, well firstly, it’s apparently meant to be really good for you, so it’s basically a lot healthier than most other kinds of cooking oil. And another thing to mention would be that I remember tasting some olive oil at a Western restaurant I went to a couple of weeks ago, and I liked it so much that I made a mental note to get some when I next went to the supermarket.So yeah, I guess these would be the main reasons, and even though it’s quite a bit more expensive than ordinary cooking oil, I re ckon it’s definitely worth it.你满意的一个物品素材2:Ok then, well the product I’d like to talk to you about is Longjing tea, which is a type of green tea, and I felt pleased about this product.I guess you could translate it as “Dragon Well” tea, which I’ve heard some people say, but to me that sounds kind of strange. And I think it’s better to just call it by its Chinese name, Longjing tea, which is also the name of the area where it’s grown.But anyway, as for where you can buy it, well, here in Hangzhou, you can find it pretty easily, because there are quite a number of tea shops dotted around the city, all of which sell it. But as for other parts of the country, I’d say it’s a bit more hard to come by, but I’m sure if you looked hard enough you’d be able to find it in most cities.And regarding why it’s popular, well I guess the main reason probably lies in the taste, which is quite subtle, but at the same time, very distinctive. And if you’ve ever had it before, you’ll notice that the flavour kind of lingers in your mouth, especially if the tea's good-quality. However, I should warn you that the best Longjing tea is incredibly expensive. You know, you’re probably looking at something in the region of seven to eight thousand rmb for half a kilogram. But you can also buy perfectly good Longjing tea for several hundred rmb for half a kilo, so the price varies considerably between the different grades. And if you do ever decide to buy some, then make sure to taste some first, as that will give you a much better idea of what to go for.Ok, right then, well, actually a lot of things going on around the world every day, and this year is probably is as difficult as what we have gone through last year. And I would talk about the news that I just heard at the beginning of 2021. It was about the England's coronavirus lockdown.At the end of 2020, Britain has registered another daily record number of coronavirus cases with more than 50,000 confirmed infections. The figure comes as British government is facing increasing pressure to tighten restrictions with some hospitals at risk of being overwhelmed by increasing numbers of Covid patients. What makes things even worse is that there were new variant of coronavirus in the UK. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the restrictions were needed to control it and people should stay at home except for a handful of reasons such as medical appointments and essential shopping.I’m seriously concern about the safety of people in the UK and other countries as well. It’s too harsh. This global epidemic has been with us for more than one year, it takes a toll on many countries. Millions of lives were lost. It is absolutely horrible. I intended to study in the UK this year, but it seemed the situation was pretty adverse. I was not sure whether I had to change my plan now. I do hope the vaccination works and save lives. Fingers crossed.长久的追求好消息的素材:Ok, well after thinking about it for a bit just now, I’ve decided to talk about Scuba diving. It is a type of underwater diving in which a scuba diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing equipment (scuba) to breathe underwater.I really want to try this kind of sport when I first watched a program about this on TV a couple of years ago. The divers carry their own source of breathing gas, allowing them greater freedom of movement and longer underwater endurance. That feels pretty cool.Also, people can see those tropical fish and swim with them. What they need is a dive mask to improve underwater vision, a protective dive suit, equipment to control buoyancy, and equipment related to the specific circumstances and purpose of the dive.But I think if I wanna do this sport, I have to go to Australia or the places with scuba diving to receive some formal training. Scuba divers are trained in the procedures and skills appropriate to their level of certification by instructors affiliated to the diver certification organizations which issue these certifications. These include standard operating procedures for using the equipment and dealing with the general hazards of the underwaterenvironment, and emergency procedures for self-help and assistance of a similarly equipped diver experiencing problems. A minimum level of fitness and health is required by most training organizations, but a higher level of fitness may be appropriate for some applications.So that’s the sport I would like to try and learn for the first time, hopefully in the near future, my dream can be fulfilled.很贵的活动素材2：Let me tell you about the outdoor sports that I wanna try for the first time- kite-surf. It don’t know if you’re familiar with this sport, but I saw a program on TV about it, and I really want to do this sport in Australia in the near future.It’s a water sport. I saw this from a TV program. After some training, a person first rides a small board, sort of like a small surf board, and at the same time, that guy can be harnessed to a very large kite. This kite propels him across the water. It looks stunning, because the surfers could actually get up a lot of speed, and most important, they could fly when they ride a wave.People kite-surf all over the world. It’s a fairly new activity. But you can do it anywhere as long as the wind is steady, and it always pulls you back towards the beach. If the wind takes you away from the coast, it could be dangerous. The people who try this sport is are really cool, they have no fear, and they are looking for a thrill. Yeah, that’s about it. Thanks for listening.童年的游戏：Alright, I will tell you about a very simple but extremely famous game played in kindergartens. The game is called "Duck, duck, goose?" and I remember playing in pre-school and possibly in primary school too.As a child, my parents sent me to an English school where some Chinese teachers taught us in English. We would play games and join in a few activities while speaking English and learning new words. It was very easy but we learned the basics before going to primary school. Whenever the weather allowed it, we would go outside to play different games in English.The games goes like this. A group of children sit in a circle facing inward. One child is "it and walks around the circle. As the child walks around the circle. He taps every child's head and says whether they are a “duck” or a “goose.” Once someone is called a "goose, he or she must get up and try to chase the child who tapped his head. The goal of the goose is to tag the child before he or she is able to sit down in the goose's spot. If the goose is not able to do this, he or she becomes "it" and starts tapping heads again. If the goose manages to tag the child who hit him on the head then “it?" has to sit in the middle of the circle and cannot leave until someone else is tagged.These games were a lot of fun because children like to run and laugh. I remember that our teachers used to play with us and chase us like crazy around the circle Kindergarten is a time to learn how to coexist with others and this game definitely brings kids closer together because they have to touch and catch each other. In addition, it is essential to teach children to react fast. As soon as the child taps your head and calls you goose, it is important to realize and get up as quickly as possible. I think it is a creative and fun game even if it seems a bit silly when I describe it.Ok right then, well after thinking for a bit just now, the area of science that I’d like to learn more about is astrophysics – at least that’s what I think it’s called anyway, because I’ve become pretty interested in it ever since I watched the film….oh what was it called?…Oh yeah, Interstellar, that’s the one!让你深思的电影：素材1:Ok right then, well the film I’ve decided I’d like to talk about is The Pursuit of Happiness, which, if I’m not mistaken, is based on a true story about a guy called Chris Gardner, and as for when I watched it, well it was actually quite a while ago. But I still remember it pretty well and this is the movie that I would like to share with my friends.Firstly though, regarding what happened in the film, well I’m not sure whether you’ve seen it or not, but in a nutshell, the storyline basically centred around a guy who, to begin with, was really struggling in life, because he wasn't earning enough money to support his family. So as a result, his wife ended up leaving him, and hislandlord kicked him out of his flat because he couldn’t afford to pay the rent, so he basically became homeless and had to live on the streets. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the turning point came when he was given the opportunity to work at an investment bank, where he ended up doing really well, and eventually he became mega rich!So with regard to how I felt about this film, well, to put it simply, I thought it was really inspiring, because……how can I put it…… it kind of showed that anything is possible, for example how Chris Gardner was able to go from the absolute depths of despair to joy and happiness. In other words, it basically taught me that, no matter what my situation in life might be, there will always be a way to succeed if I put all my heart and effort into something, just as Chris Gardner did.So in this respect I found it an incredibly powerful film, and would definitely recommend it to my friends and share with them .感兴趣的大公司:Ok then, well, a large company that I’m interested in is the one run by a neighbour of mine set up together with his wife, so that’s what I’d like to talk to you about.And regarding what their company does, well to put it simply, it manufactures clothes, which they then export to places like Europe and America.And they seem to be doing pretty well, because a few years ago they were a pretty small operation and didn’t even make the clothes themselves. I mean, to begin with, they were just a trading company, so they would take orders from customers overseas, and then find a suitable supplier here in China to make the order. But after doing this for a while, the company became slightly bigger and managed to grow from 5 staff to over 200 in the space of only about 3 years, which I think's pretty staggering.So you know, I really admire them for being able to achieve all this, and as for how they’ve been so successful, well I don’t know for certain, because I’ve never really asked them, but from what I know of them as people, I would say much of their success is down to fact that they’re both incredibly nice. Cos I mean, they treat everyone they meet really well, which I’m sure also includes all their staff and customers. And this is bound to have helped their business grow. Of course there are also other reasons for their success, but this is all I can think of right now.。

雅思口语Part2话题
雅思口语Part2话题1. Describe a good thing that can help improve your healthHonestly speaking, I have a great affection for mastering a musical instrument, especially playing the cello. Compared with doing sports activities, playing the cello does not enhance my physical health, but it is a good thing that can cultivate my soul, another way to improve my health. To tell you the truth, when I was a kid, I always attended training classes to learn the skills of play the cello. Thus, playing the cello gradually became one of my hobbies, then a habit. Whenever I play it, it will calm me down and let me to a world out of this world. I easily carry away without trace. Personally speaking, I believe, relaxation is what I could get out from such a habit. Well, you see, I am only a student, and I have to cope with all sort of hard work or even trial things, but whenever I pick up the cello, I could feel much more soothed and relieved.2. Describe your favorite season or time in the yearWell, the four seasons are distinct in most regions of China. And among them, autumn is my favorite season. There are many reasons I like it. Firstly, it is temperate season, that’s to say, it is neither too hot nor too cold in autumn. Since Wuhan City is famous for its sweltering weather in summer, this makes autumn precious and pleasant. Secondly, it is a good time to do some outdoor activities or sightseeing. Many people in Wuhan make full use of this golden season to go camping and hiking. Beside, autumn is also a colorful season with harvest, so I can enjoy so many tasty pineapples and grasps. To tell you the truth, at this time every year, I will go to the orchard to pick apples, pears and oranges. Most people always keep in good mood in this season. Actually, it is the most popular season in our city.3. Describe an electrical appliance you want to buyI want to have an MP3, coz I think it will be the most functional electricequipment. At first, I can use it to listen to music. Since I am crazy about hip-hop, I have downloaded many songs from the website and store them in my MP3. When I have free time, I’d like to listen to them. Later, I will utilize some other useful functions of the MP3. Since it can record and play the voice. I can use it to record my spoken English. And then, I listen to it frequently to identify the grammatical mistakes I have made in my oral English. By doing this, I think I will achieve a great improvement in my English. Besides, I can also use it as a removable disk. Thus, I can copy some of the useful documents in my study from school computers. Based on the above benefits I have mentioned, I am eager to own an MP3.4. Describe a famous person that you admireI would like to talk about the late Mr. Qian Xuesen. He was honored the father of rockets and missiles in China, coz he had made great contributions to the development of modernization, especially in the field of aerospace and national defense. It was in the history class when I was a pupil that I learned of him. From then on, he became a hero in my heart. Well, you see, when the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, our motherland needed plenty of talented people to afford the burden of construction. Under this circumstance, Qian Xuesen immediately made up his mind to come back to devote what he had learnt abroad to the construction of new China. But American made every effort to prevent him going back, and provide him with a lot of material conditions, so as to persuade him to remain in America. Due to his determination, he tried his best and finally succeed in coming back, and made much contribution to the research on rockets and missiles.5. Describe the ideal home that you would like to live inMy ideal house is one located in the countryside, and it would be just likean average house, nothing too fancy. I want to live close to the nature coz I can enjoy fresh air and feel relaxed in that environment. It would be a two-storey house built along a smooth blue lake, sometimes with gentle waves. Inside, there are a couple of cozy bedrooms, a bright living room, a well-furnished kitchen, and some bathrooms. I will equip the kitchen with a lot of modern appliances, such as a fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave. In the living room, there are some armchairs, a sofa ,a table and something like that. And TV is a must in the living room. Then the bedrooms is furnished with beds, desks and stereo system. So, it is the one have been dreaming of.6. Describe a life change you would like to make to your job of studyNo doubt about it, everyone of us may experience some changes in his or her life. It seems to me that the most unforgettable change happened 4 years ago. At that time, I just completed my senior high school and was admitted into a university far from my hometown. To be frank, my parents did not want me to study in other cities, coz I was the only child in my family. They worried whether I could live independently. They kept on persuading me to choose one close to my home. But I though I was cohered and just need some challenges. I told them that I was fully confident with myself. After many talks and even arguments, I really convinced them by my strong mind and selected a university far from my hometown.7. Describe a libraryAlthough I have been to many libraries, the one that has given me the deepest impression is Wuhan Library. Wuhan Library is located in the heart of downtown of Hankou.The library contains a large amount of books, approximately 5 million. Itis regarded as the largest library in China. According to the latest report, the books there can be classified for 5000 categories. Many of them are extremely rare and out of edition. I have been to Wuhan Library for several times when I was a freshman. The library is supposed to be a perfect combination of modern technology and traditional culture. You may find modern computer equipment around each corner of the library. They are designed for people who’d love to check the latest information.I especially enjoyed the comfortable seats there, and the reading conditions are very desirable. But it is too far away from my home.8. Describe your favorite type of clothing or jewelryI still remember a suit of school uniform, which is indelible in my memory. When I was in the kindergarten, there was a primary school near it. Every day, when I played with other kids I could see many students wearing in uniform studying in the school. The uniforms looked like sport suits. The upper was of blue with some white stripes on the sleeves. The trousers were in white. It seemed to me that the uniform was very attractive and I always dreamed to be one of the pupils and wore the same uniform as them. Then, two years later, I really became one of the primary school students and got a suit of uniform. I dressed in it every day no matter in school or home. To me, it was not just clothes but a kind of indication, which showed that I was a formal students in an academic school. And I could always feel that I was growing up with it.9. Describe a traditional Chinese festivalJust like you have Christmas in western countries, we Chinese hold spring festival to celebrate our Chinese new year. It takes place on the first day of our lunar calendar, and the most exciting night is the Eve. On the Eve, there usually is a family reunion, and all families will be sittingaround the same table in our grandpas’, feasting, toasting and chit-chatting. We will all be watching TV waiting for the coming of the New Year. At 12 sharp, we Chinese “guonian”. ”guo” in English means to drive away, and “nian” is the name of a horrible creature in our Chinese fairy tale that visits our land once a year destroying our homes devouring our crops. That’s the main reason why we Chinese will let out fire works and crackers. Later on after that, we visit our friends and fellow workers, to send our best regards for the coming New Year. The old will seal money into red pockets making “lucky money” and hand out the kids to make their growing up one year older.10. Describe your hometownWell, I was born in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, which is situated in central part of China, and is divided by the nationality famous Yangtze River into three districts, namely Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang.Education is well-developed in Wuchang, as you may find most of universities and colleges, such as Wuhan University, Huazhong Normal University, Huazhong University of Technology and Science and Wuhan University of Technology.Hankou is the most prosperousand bustling of the three, if you are a new comer here, a shopping nut, Hanzheng Street and Jianghan Road would be my first and foremost recommendation.While, Hanyang used to be the centre of assembly industry in central China, but nowadays, IT industry and antipollution industry are developing at a fancy speed.11. Describe a small shopRecently, I have seen a very unique shop. It is a bookshop located in a small street near Zhongnan Road. From the outside, it looks like other houses near it. Inside the shop, is there an altogether world. The ceiling and the walls are painted in light blue with some white circles as decoration. There are some shelves along each side of the wall. While, in the middle of the room, there lies a big desk, and some chairs are put around it. Customers are free to read books there even if they buy nothing. The classical music is played from an old gramophone. If requested, the assistant will offer you a glass of mineral water. I especially like this shop because of its peaceful environment. Besides, its good treatment to customers also attracts me a lot.12. Describe a river/lakeWhen I was studying in Harbin at the age of 11, I used to go to Songhua River for relaxation on weekends. Songhua River is named for the beautiful pines and flowers along either bank of it. In different seasons, the river shows varied characters. Spring is a comfortable time for people living there. Trees turn green and the river is peaceful. People would like to fly kites, read books and go boating there. Summer is full of passion. Many people swim in the river and enjoy sunbath on the bank. Autumn is a beautiful season. In the middle of the river, there lies an island named Sun Island. People can fish there and have barbeques. The most attractive season for the river is winter. After heavy snow, the whole river will turn white. At the temperature falls below zero, the water may freeze, which enables people to skate on the ice. I have really experienced good time there.13. Describe a tripLast month, together with some of my classmates, I went to Suzhou City.On our way there, we were of great excitement because that was our first trip to that renowned city. We have made a perfect plan on where to go sightseeing and what local snacks to taste. On arriving at the city, we drove directly to the most famous garden of the city, Zhouzheng Garden. We spent the whole morning there and took many photos. At lunch time, we went to a local restaurant and tried traditional Su dishes. During afternoon, we climbed a little hill named Huqiu. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Each of us couldn’t help sitting on the grass and experienced the gentle breeze. After the sunset, we were reluctant to leave. On the way back, none of us felt tired and compared our feeling about the day. Each of us dreamed about another trip in the near future.14. Describe your living placeMy ideal house is one located in the countryside. I want to live close to nature, because I can enjoy fresh air and feel relaxed on weekends. I want it to be a two-storey house built on a green-covered mountain, facing a blue lake. A path lined by bushes and flowers leads the way to the front door. And around the house there are apple and cherry trees. I really care about my bedroom, where I am going put in a king size bed. The sitting room was on the second floor with a balcony facing the sea. I fancied that house at the first sight, and it was the one I had been dreaming of.15. Describe your study roomIn my home, my preferable room is the study room. I painted my study room in light green which is seen as good to eyesight. I use a red carpet to decorate the floor, because red is my favourite colour. It represents passion and youth. At one corner, there is a piano. In my spare time, I always like to play it and refresh myself. A bookcase made in wood is placed right beside the piano. I put nearly 200 books on the shelf in the order of alphabetical order. By reading them every night, I have greatlyenhanced my knowledge. As well as reading books, I’d like to play some light music with m stereo which is put on the floor directly. I have a three-dimensional CD rack sent by my friend. It can take as many as 100 CDs, I especially enjoy picking up new CDs from the CD shop to cram it. Now, I have nearly 80 CDs. Well, that’s my study room, not very large but gentle indeed.16. Describe a restaurantMy favourite restaurant is named Jiulong, which is located in the heart of downtown Wuchang. Since it is not very far from my home, my family usually goes there for special dishes. Honestly speaking, I have a great affection for Chinese traditional dishes. And the restaurant is famous for Chinese traditional dishes. Among them, I admire well-done duck with bean sauce best. Every time I dine there, I will taste it. It looks inviting, smells refreshing, tastes bitter first, sour later, then a little salty, and a unique spiciness remains at last. Although the Chinese traditional dishes is a little expensive in Jiulong, the price of the other dishes served in the restaurant is much lower than other restaurant. That is why many people dinning there. The waiters and waitress are quite responsible and very friendly, which will make you feel comfortable and ease. As to the reason why I like this restaurant most, I will say the price is quite reasonable. Besides, the taste and the quality of service is excellent.17. Describe a childhood song or melodyI would like to talk about a song which was very popular, when I was a kid. Even now, I could hear it was played in the kindergartens. Although I could not remember the name of song, I am very familiar with the melody and the lyrics. The lyrics tell a short story about thee monks. Once there were three monks living in a temple at the top of a mountain. But none of them would like to go down the mountain to carry water. One night, a firesuddenly broke out. In this emergency circumstance, the three monks had to cooperate to put out the fire. From then on, they realized the importance of cooperation, and took turns to carry water from the foot of the mountain, and lived a happy life. The song is used to teach the kids to realize the importance of cooperation. And the lyrics are well-written. Kids can understand it deeply even if they are only three years old.18. Describe a film/your favourite filmI watched a movie called “A world without thieves”when I was a freshman. One of my favourite stars, Liu Ruoying, acts the leading role in it. This is a reason I love the film. Beside, the plot is thrilling and funny.The story took place on a train. Liu and her boyfriend were both living by stealing. This time they didn’t steal, but to protect a young man from being stolen. Since Liu was going to give birth to the baby, they did this to accumulate virtue for their baby. Finally, they succeed, and the young man was safe to arrive with his money. But Liu’s boyfriend died in the contest with another thief. When he was dying, he sent a short message to Liu, saying ”Wait for me, and give birth to my baby.”Two month passed, the police she had met on the train told her the truth. On hearing this, she couldn’t help weeping. Every time I watched this scene, I would be moved by the love between Liu and her boyfriend.19. Describe a shopping centreNowadays, there are many shopping centers in Wuhan, such as Qunguang Plaza, Xinshijie Department Store and SOGO. Among them, I like Wuhan Plaza best. It is located right in the heart of downtown Hankou, and is just a stone’s throw away from Zhongshan Park, a famous park named after Sun Zhongshan.Wuhan Plaza is fifty storey’s high and the outside looks really gorgeous, with a couple of statues in front of it. I am fascinated by this mall, coz every conceivable kind of goods are sold there, from daily goods to mobile phones and from domestic produces to foreign produces. When we get to the plaza, we are treated warmly. The shop assistants great us friendly and always help us find us find what we want. But the price is high. If there was something on sale, the price would be reasonable. I like shopping in it, coz it often holds promotions and has some giveaway presents. Besides, the price of consumer goods are lower than in other shopping centers.20. Describe your favourite TV programMy favourite TV program is called Cooking, which is broadcast on Channel Five every Sunday morning. The time it broadcasts is very convenient, coz after watching it, audiences have enough time to imitate the dish they have just learnt from the program, and it’s Sunday, people do not need to go to work.Once, a course named well-done duck with bean sauce was broadcast. After watched it, I was really interested in it and decided to learn to cook the dish at supper. In order to show off my cooking skills, I tried my best to cook the well-done duck with bean sauce. I cut a bean curd into slices, which seemed as thin as human’s hair. Then I used flour, eggs, sugar and other ingredients to make the bean sauce. After that, I fried a duck in shallow oil with the bean sauce. Finally, the course was achieved.After my parents tasted it, they all gave praise to my cooking skills. They said, it looked inviting, smelt refreshing and tasted bitter first, sour later, then a litter salty, and a unique spiciness remained at last.21. Describe a skill - drivingNowadays, there are many schools providing learning to drive. And the ads about these schools can be seen everywhere in our campus. All the ads are persuading us to learn driving and enroll in them. Even some of my friends who have already got driving licenses are also persuading me to get one. Seeing they can drive to where they want to go, I decided to learning driving last summer holiday. Besides, I think driving skills, together with computing skills, are the most important skills in the future. And it should be a skill that every college student master. It even should be popularized just as cycling skills.In addition, I have a great affection for travelling. If I own a driving license and a car, I can travel wherever I want to go. Even in daily life, driving skills play a significant role, coz I needn’t to catch the crowned bus or worry about being late. The skills will make my life more convenient, especially in emergency.22. Describe a leisure activityI was crazy about “the eagle and the chicks” when I was a little kid. It is a traditional Chinese game. Even now, I can see the kids in my community playing it. The reason why it is so popular among kids is that it is funny and easy to play.The game starts with choosing a kid as the eagle and another the hen, with other kids acting as the chicks of the hen. Then, the eagle tries his best to catch the chicks, while the hen makes every effort to protect his chicks. If a chick was captured by the eagle, the chick would be the eagle in the next new game.These days, we just play the computers and surf the Internet to enjoyourselves. But sometimes I really miss the pleasure in my childhood.23. Describe your favourite sportMy favourite sport is high jump. It is very popular in P.E., and most of my classmates select this course, coz it is good work-out and it can exercise every muscle in my body. To tell you the truth, I started to learn high jump when I was five years old. Coz my parents hoped me grew high, and high jump would help. After I entered into primary school, I became a member of our school’s high jump team. And I often practiced high jump with other members after classes. Then when I was twelve, I participated the National High Jump Game, representing my school. Although I failed in the game, my passion for high jump didn’t die away.。
