接下来,我们来看一篇高分口语的例子:Recently,I took a coach(bus)from Toronto to Montreal to visit my brother.It is a journey that normally takes about5hours,but this bus company stops halfway for a30-minute break.I chose to travel by public transportation because I don’t like driving long distances.When I travel via(by)bus,I can read or work on my computer or sleep.I find this helps me arrive relaxed.In fact,I often opt for(choose)the public transportation option(choice)if I can.Overall,I felt the journey was quite comfortable.Because it was a coach,the seats were very spacious and reclined(tilt backwards) enough that I could get some sleep.There was also a Wi-Fi connection, which is something I haven’t seen on a bus before.I didn’t use it,but I saw several other people connect to it.Traveling in the spring also means it was a very scenic(beautiful)journey.To get to Montreal from Toronto you spend a lot of time on highways surrounded by lush green nature,so that was nice.出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 The price,however,was a little steep(expensive).I think I paid$110 for a return ticket,which,to me,is quite expensive.I suppose it would have been cheaper to drive,but I feel arriving fresh is money well spent(fairly worthy).So,on the whole,the entire experience was a positive one.I would highly recommend public transportation to anyone.在上述例文中,稍作分析,不难发现其与笔记较高的吻合度。

【徐州朗阁雅思英语】雅思口语Part 2常见话题及思路分析(上)

【徐州朗阁雅思英语】雅思口语Part 2常见话题及思路分析(上)

出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 雅思口语Part2常见话题及思路分析(上)朗阁海外考试研究中心王静在雅思口语考试中,考生通常会需要回答三个部分的问题,而在这三个部分中,最让考生头痛的应该就是Part2了。

在Part2部分,考生将会有固定的三分钟时间:一分钟的准备时间和两分钟的作答时间。

在Part2开始的时候,考官会给考生一张话题卡,上面会有考生需要描述的话题,例如:Describe a restaurant you have been to and enjoyed.考生将有一分钟的时间审题并做适当的准备。

一分钟结束后,考生将必须持续描叙此话题两分钟。

这样自述两分钟的考试形式,对大部分考生,尤其是基础较弱的考生来说无疑是一种挑战。

许多考生在拿到话题卡,尤其是比较抽象的话题卡时会不知道从哪里入手描述手中的话题,结果在准备时间结束的时候,盲目的挑选了一个方向作答,导致没有办法把所选的话题延展到两分钟的长度,最终无法拿到理想的成绩。

而在实际考试中,Part2是比较能体现出考生水平的一个部分,毕竟长时间不间断的描述一个话题,更可以反映出一个人的口语水平。

接下来,我们来探讨一下如何能够有效地提升Part2部分的成绩,考生在拿到话题卡后,应该如何分析考题,以及在作答时需要注意的事项。

一、审题在雅思口语考试中,如果想要把一道题回答到位,最为重要的是要审好题,尤其是能够审出一个题目中包含的考点及要点,Part2也不例外。

由于准备时间紧张,很多考生都是在拿到话题之后草草扫一眼然后就开始进入准备,这样是有失考虑的,很容易导致审题过程中漏掉重要考点。

以最近常考的一个考题为例:Describe a trip you made by public transport.You should say:出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 Where you wentWhat public transport you choseWhy you chose public transportAnd how you felt about the trip很多考生在拿到此话题看一眼以后会感到很开心,因为他们第一眼看到了题目中的“trip”,而旅行的话题,大部分考生都或多或少有些准备。

雅思口语话题part 2你想要短暂待的城市【雅思口语话题部分2:你想要短暂待的城市】在雅思口语考试中,part 2是一个关于“你想要短暂待的城市”的话题。

这是一个非常有趣和广泛的主题,也是我们日常生活中经常会思考的问题。

在本文中,我将从不同的角度对这个话题进行全面评估和探讨,并撰写一篇有价值的文章,希望能够为你提供深入和广泛的理解。

1. 筛选城市当我们考虑到“短暂待”的城市时,我们需要进行一些筛选。

这个城市应该具有一定的魅力和吸引力,能够让我们度过愉快的时光,同时也要能够满足我们的个人兴趣和需求。

在选择城市的过程中,我们可以考虑城市的文化、历史、自然风光、美食、活动以及对于我们的吸引力和意义。

在这里,我希望提及你指定的主题文字“短暂待的城市”,这个城市应该是让我们心驰神往的。

2. 文化历史如果我们喜欢文化和历史,我们可能会选择浸泡在古老文明和文化遗产的城市中。

例如罗马、雅典、开罗等古老城市,充满了浓厚的历史气息和文化底蕴,可以让我们领略到不同的文明和历史的魅力。

这些城市有着源远流长的历史,保存了丰富的文化遗产,可以让我们感受到不同的时代和文化的风采。

3. 自然风光对于喜欢大自然和风景的人来说,选择一个自然风光秀丽的城市可能是更加吸引人的。

例如瑞士的因特拉肯、新西兰的皇后镇、美国的黄石公园等,这些城市被大自然的力量所赋予,可以让我们感受到宏伟的自然奇观和清新的空气。

在这些城市中,我们可以徜徉在壮丽的景色中,感受到大自然的鬼斧神工,让我们心灵得到了净化和放松。

4. 美食活动而对于喜欢美食和活动的人来说,选择一个美食之都或者活动丰富多彩的城市可能更加诱人。

比如法国的巴黎、意大利的威尼斯、日本的东京等,这些城市都以其独特的美食和丰富多彩的活动而闻名于世。

在这些城市中,我们可以品尝到各种美味佳肴,参与各种有趣的活动,感受到不同文化的碰撞和融合。

5. 个人观点作为你的文章写手,我认为选择一个短暂停留的城市是一个很好的机会,可以让我们放松心情,感受到不同的文化和风情。

大城市和小城市的利弊雅思作文

大城市和小城市的利弊雅思作文

大城市和小城市的利弊雅思作文Living in a city has always been a topic of debate, with people often discussing the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city versus a small town. The debate has gained even more prominence in recent years as urbanization continues to accelerate, leading to an increasing number of people migrating to cities in search of better opportunities and a higher quality of life. In this essay, we will explore the various aspects of living in a big city versus a small town, considering the historical background, different perspectives, case studies, benefits, drawbacks, and future implications.Historically, the development of big cities and small towns has been shaped by various factors such as industrialization, technological advancements, and economic opportunities. Big cities have historically been centers of commerce, culture, and innovation, attracting people from all walks of life in search of better prospects. On the other hand, small towns have often been associated with a more laid-back lifestyle, close-knit communities, and a slower pace of life. The historical background of these two types of settlements has laid the foundationfor the contrasting characteristics and lifestyles they offer today.When it comes to the perspectives and opinions surrounding the topic of living in a big city versus a small town, there is a wide range of views to consider. Some people argue that big cities offer unparalleled opportunities for career growth, cultural experiences, and access to top-notch amenities such as healthcare, education, and entertainment. They believe that the fast-paced environment of abig city can be invigorating and stimulating, pushing individuals to strive for excellence and pursue their dreams. On the other hand, proponents of small towns emphasize the sense of community, safety, and tranquility that such places offer. They argue that small towns provide a better environment for raising children, fostering strong social connections, and enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle.To illustrate the contrasting experiences of living in a big city versus a small town, let us consider the case of New York City and a small town in upstateNew York. New York City, as one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the world, is known for its bustling streets, towering skyscrapers, and diverse population. Residents of New York City have access to world-class restaurants, theaters, museums, and job opportunities in various industries. However, they also have to contend with high living costs, crowded public spaces, and a competitive work environment. On the other hand, a small town in upstate New York may offer a more serene and close-knit community experience, with lower living expenses and a stronger sense of belonging. However, residents of small towns may have limited access to certain amenities, cultural events, and career advancement opportunities compared to their urban counterparts.As we critically evaluate the topic of living in a big city versus a small town, it becomes evident that both options have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. Big cities offer a plethora of job opportunities, cultural diversity, and access to top-tier amenities, but they also come with higher living costs, congestion, and a more competitive lifestyle. On the other hand, small towns provide a sense of community, affordability, and a slower pace of life, but they may lack the career prospects and cultural experiences available in big cities. It is essential to recognize that the choice between living in a big city or a small town ultimately depends on individual preferences, priorities, and life goals.Looking towards the future, it is crucial to consider the implications of the ongoing urbanization trend and its impact on the quality of life in big cities and small towns. As more people flock to big cities in search of opportunities, there is a growing need to address issues such as affordable housing, transportation, and environmental sustainability. On the other hand, small towns may need to find ways to attract and retain a skilled workforce, invest in infrastructure, and diversify their local economies to thrive in the changing landscape. Finding a balance between the benefits of urban living and the charm of small-town life will be essential for creating sustainable and livable communities for future generations.In conclusion, the debate between living in a big city versus a small town is a complex and multifaceted issue that encompasses historical, social, economic, and personal considerations. Both options offer unique experiences and opportunities, as well as challenges and drawbacks. By understanding the diverse perspectives, analyzing real-life case studies, and critically evaluating the topic, individuals can make informed decisions about where they choose to live based on their own values and aspirations. As urbanization continues to shape our world, it is imperative to consider the future implications and recommendations for creating inclusive, vibrant, and sustainable communities, whether in big cities or small towns.。

Therefore, we can seethe big difference as compared with other cities.Overall, the six cities revealed great differences in the history of subway construction, thelength of subway lines and the yearly passenger transportation capability.雅思大作文题目:Since cities have changed a lot, the size ofthe cities has grown enormously. Discuss thecauses and consequence of the enormous sizeof cities.雅思大作文范文:Nowadays, the maps of cities are updatedfrequently. With the development of city, more andmore suburbs become parts of the city. When thecities in the world are amplifying constantly, peoplediscuss the topic hotly, the causes andconsequence of the enormous cities. Different people have different answers by theirrespective views.In my opinion, the evolution of society and the development of economy result in thegrowth of the vast size of cities. Since the number of population in every city is increasingcontinually, people need a large amount of space to live in. With the progress of the technology,the output of crops rises sharply. Fewer and fewer farmers are required, as a result, more andmore villages urbanize. The growth of the cities brings us many huge changes.There are more job opportunities in the cities. For instance, China will hold the OlympicGames in Beijing in 2008. The government is amplifying the size of Beijing to build new gyms inorder to hold it excellently. Obviously, people in the cities could gain a lot of new jobs.Of course, the enormous size of cities also has bad effects. Pollution is becoming more andmore serious all over the world with the amplification of the cities. For example, thepoisonous gas sent off by factories and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people tobreathe. Water waste keeps pouring into rivers and lakes; as a result, many water species aredying out. Furthermore, more people the city have, more rubbish we can find.In a word, since each coin has two sides, we should be acquainted clearly with the reasonswhy the size of the cities has grown enormously and what it will bring us. Thus, we could makefull use of the positive effects and overcome the negative effects.雅思大作文范文:城市扩张相关介绍It has been argued that urban sprawl is the rootof many environmental problems. Today, I amoffering my viewpoint on this issue and reasons tosupport my position. What is urban sprawl? Urbansprawl is defined as "the increased use of urbanizedland by fewer people than in the past" .In the past, cities were compact and efficient butrecently the density of land utilized per person hasseen a major decline in the United States. From 1982-1997, the United States population hadgrown by about 17 percent, while the urbanized land had increased by about 47 percent duringthe same period in time. Developed land per person has just about doubled in thelast two decades andthe sizes of housing lots larger than ten acres can account for over half ofthe land that was developed since 1994.This drastic change in urbanized areashas been met by both environmental impacts, as well as financial and time burdens on thepeople.One of the most affected environments would be America's farmlands. Farmlands are beinglost due to the creation of new highways, fringe industrial parks, and new sprawled housingdevelopments.The loss of farmlands reduces our ability to produce food, fiber,and timber. Further, the higher tax rates and costs that are associated with urban sprawl areforcing many farmers to close down business and sell their farms to companies seeking todevelop new housing areas, as a means to secure their financial security.Thisproblem has highly affected the state of Wisconsin. In 1950, Wisconsin had roughly about23.6 million acres of farmland and as of 2002 only had about 16 million acres. Along with thisreduction in farmland area, the number of farms in Wisconsin decreased from 178,000 to77,000 from 1910 to 2002.This decrease in farmland is not only seen inWisconsin but also the rest of the country. Between 1992 and 1997, the nation converted morethan 13.7 million acres of farmland to urbanized areas.Along with the loss of farmland, there is a loss of wildlife habitats that are disappearing dueto urban sprawl. These forests, meadows, and wetlands are disappearing and beingsubstituted with pavement, buildings, and sterile urban landscaping. This loss of wildlifehabitats make it hard for species to survive and makes it difficult for them to find suitablebreeding ponds, hibernation sites, feeding locations, and to create practical nesting areas. The urban sprawl has been so bad in some places that species of plants arebecoming nearly extinct. For example, the OakSavannas and the Oak and Pine Barrens bothhave been degraded to the point that there is less than 1 percent of the original species stillaround .Urban sprawl has contributed greatly to air and water pollution as well as increased waterand energy consumption. Since urban sprawl places people outside of walking distance toshopping areas and work areas, they are forced to rely heavily on cars to get from point A topoint B. This over reliance on vehicles has contributed significantly to air pollution andgreenhouse gases.Pollution from vehicles is usually the number one cause ofpollution in many urbanized cities, such as Los Angeles. Another thing to think about would bethe recent heat waves that have been experienced in the past month across the nation. Peoplefail to realize that urban sprawl and pollution, which is a by-product of urban sprawl, havecontributed significantly to the high temperatures this summer.Urban sprawlincreases the amount of concrete and asphalt, thus holding in the heat and making it evenwarmer than it would have been had sprawl not occurred. Another part of this would be thatthe pollution leads to higher levels of humidity in the air and in turn exaggerates the effects ofgreenhouse gases.雅思大作文范文:摩天大楼Nowadays, with a growing number of high-tech buildings that look alike, cities across the planetare becoming more and more similar. Apparently for better rather than for worse, theseskyscrapers may be seen as a reflection of the a single architectural culture in the making in aworld increasingly being globalized. The sameness, however monotonous or boring, must beregarded as inevitable since most designs of those high-rises are functionally oriented totackle the reality of the increasinglydynamic societies.Why do urban buildings have to grow in height and why are most of them having almostidentical outlooks which are not very unlike cardboard boxes? Ironically, an easy answer is:'why not'? To begin with, in many booming cities there are not only urgent needs ofconstructing tall buildings to meet the demand of expanding urban populations, but also high-tech ways and means to do it. Further, many old buildings , which used to be out of orders atbest and dangerous at worst, had necessarily to be demolished, thus making room forskyscraper constructions. This is a good thing, considering that modern buildings canfunction more efficiently and effectively, and at the same time can house more people forworking or living. Likes or dislikes, tall towers that look awfully similar will be the future in bigcities.Nevertheless, what could be wrong about cities becoming more and more similar? Onedisadvantage is that, when people travel beyond borders, they are probably not expected toexperience differences between one place and another because the landscapes of modern citiesmay look very much alike over the horizons. And so what? On the one hand, these same peoplealso eat out in standardized fast-food outlets, such as MacDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken orPizza Hut, but do not seriously complain about being bored by the same food. Strangely, whyon the other hand they should disagree with new buildings getting tall in similar fashions? Is itnot as if they might think that today's new buildings should look old enough to becomedifferent?After all, the modern-age reality in cities is dynamic, so the space people work or live in oughtto be dynamic as well. New buildings, particularly skyscrapers, are designed andconstructedto adjust to the continuous change in the right direction, and to follow the nature of newsocieties. In short, when cities are becoming more and more alike, they are also becoming morealive.。

出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 雅思口语话题之城市与城市生活朗阁海外考试研究中心崔明媛雅思口语话题向来变化万千,其中生活类是最常考的话题之一,而目前在生活类话题中出现频率最高的一个方面就是关于城市和城市生活的问题。

通过对近期常考话题的密切关注我们发现,无论是第一、第二还是第三部分,都涵盖着关于城市的话题,尤其是第二、三两部分。

今天,朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家就为大家详细地补充一些必备又不乏新意的专业表达,使考生们对于“城市”的话题更有话说,更有“新”话说。

关于城市,雅思口语常考查的内容有介绍一个城市(去过或没去过),大城市和小城市的区别,城市和农村的区别,城市生活的优缺点等等。

通过观察我们发现,考生们对于这类话题的表现差强人意,原因在于不知如何表达,甚至不知道说什么。

接下来朗阁专家就详细的来补充一下关于城市的知识。

就城市分类而言,题目中常用的词就是big city 和small city,而除了这些,metropolis大都市是最常用的表达,也可以用发达(developed) 或不发达(less developed) 来划分城市。

在中国,我们还分一线(first-tier)、二线(second-tier) 和三线(third-tier) 城市。

除此之外,我们还给城市冠了好听的名字,比如City of Perpetual spring(春城)等。

当然,我们也会对城市进行排名,比如Liveable City(宜居城市),Garden City(花园城市)等。

除了城市的名称,关于城市的一些基本构成也是众多烤鸭发愁的一个区块。

常用的表达有:city hall(市政府),city(城市),municipal(市政的),municipality (市政当局),suburb(郊区),countryside(乡村),administrative district (行政区),residential area(住宅区),commercial district(商业区),slums (贫民区);关于城市中的一些基本设施和服务,包括:post office(邮局),出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 public lavatory(公共厕所),public telephone(公用电话),shopping centre (商场),snack bar(小吃店),stock exchange(股票交易所),traffic light (红绿灯),art gallery(美术馆),botanical garden(植物园),employment agency(职业介绍),bank(银行),bookstore(书店),court(法院),highway (公路),motorway(高速公路),hospital(医院),junk shop(旧货店),library(图书馆),museum(博物馆),newsstand(报摊),port(港口),restaurant(餐馆),skyscraper(摩天大楼),stadium(体育场),station (车站),theatre(电影院戏院)。

除了基本的构成之外,雅思口语最常考的内容还有对大小城市的优缺点做出比较,这里给大家列出几条供参考,大家应根据自己的自身经历做出取舍,自由搭配。

一些具体的表达方式如形容词或词组考生也应牢记。

Pros of big cities:Big money at work, first-class education, a large transport network, fancy restaurants and luxurious townhouses are definitely the charms(魅力)of big cities.Life in big cities is endlessly colourful(无尽精彩)as you have a wide range of entertainment.This city is steeped in(沉浸在)time-honored(历史悠久的)traditions.It’s prosperous(繁荣的).This city is well-known for its architectural heritage(建筑遗产). The cityscape(城市风景)is gorgeous(华丽的,漂亮极了的)and there are tons of towering skyscrapers(高耸的摩天大楼).High-rise buildings(高城建筑)are sprouting up(涌现)all over the city.出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 This city is like a magnet(磁铁)for tourists.Cons of big cities:The air is so smoggy(烟雾重的).Lots of people there suffer from respiratory diseases(呼吸系统疾病).The traffic is always bumper-to-bumper(保险杠对保险杠,指非常拥挤)during rush hours.The cost of living is sky-high(极高的).The economy is in a slump(消沉,指经济不景气).I can’t stand the hustle and bustle(拥挤喧闹)there.Some areas are pretty run-down(破旧的).It’s densely-populated(人口密集的).Pros of small cities:Live a quiet and peaceful life.Get away from the hustles and bustles(拥挤喧闹).Small cities are of sufficient natural resources.Cons of small cities:Tons of small cities in China are confronted with serious brain drain(人才流失).A rising number of chemical factories built in small countries andcountryside arouse grievous(严重的)water degradation(水质下降).Average income(收入水平)in small cities falls far behind that in big cities.出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 The general public service(整体社会服务水平)in small cities is lower than that in most big cities.除此之外,关于大城市,肯定有很多同学对其高昂的房价有话要说。

其实不光如此,之前在Part 3中就已经有同学碰到过关于中国城市房价的问题了。

对于很多年轻人而言,无论是收入水平、城市规模还是社会服务等,first-tier city(一线城市)都有着巨大吸引力。

然而,housing price(房产价格)的疯长,许多原来期望在first-tier city发展的年轻人不得不转战second-tier city和third-tier city。

许多不甘离开梦想之地的人或成为mortgage slave(房奴),或成为ant tribe(蚁族)。

另外,一线城市的高消费水平也迫使许多人成为moonlight clan(月光族)。

想结婚而又无力买房的人只能选择naked wedding (裸婚)。

最后,朗阁专家将结合上述素材,针对Part 3的一个高频问题作出示范:Q: Do you prefer to live in a big city or small city?A: Personally, small city seems more preferable. I like living in small cities for its slow life pace and quietness. I mean I don't have to suffer the hustle and bustle.S o I’m able to enjoy cosiness. According to my experience living in a big city for three years, living in big cities is just stressful. You know, the sky-high housing price and fierce competition propel many youngsters like me to move out of big cities though there are completed public services; otherwise we’ll end up with being a mortgage slave and having a naked wedding.以上答案就套用了前面讲过的表达方式,但是一定要改编,才能使学来的东西变成自己的。

出国留学考雅思、新托福、备考大学四六级,就来徐州朗阁 通过以上的补充素材我们发现,关于城市有很多东西可以说,而不是停留在表面的分析和简单的表达上。

希望考生们从现在开始,把上述材料都牢记,再遇到相同问题的时候活用所学,定能使考官印象深刻。
