That is a rise of 20 percent over last year and comes just three years after the industry hit the $100 billion milestone, according to the 2006 State of Retailing Online report from and Forrester Research.Here are seven reasons it makes sense to shop online:1. Lower prices. Online shopping can reduce overhead costs in a variety of ways, which can translate to lower prices for you. In fact, one 2004 study found online prices to be 6 to 16 percent lower than offline prices.2. More savings with online coupons. Many times, shoppers can save even further with an online coupon or coupon code. According to a 2005Bizrate/Shopzilla report, 71 percent of online shoppers said they were able to find better discount offers and sales online, as compared to shopping through a catalog or traditional retail merchant. Online retailers may issue a button or textlink that will apply an automatic savings to your order, or they may issue a specific coupon code to be entered at checkout.3. Research capabilities. The Internet allows you to easily compare products and prices, so you can be sure that the item you purchase is the exact item you want. Online merchants can publish much more information about their product on a website than they could affordably publish in a print catalog. And online stores give you the ability to share information and reviews with other shoppers who have firsthand experience with a product or retailer. As Internet connection speeds continue to increase for larger segments of the population, these types of interactive features will become even more important. , a leading shoe retailer, for example, allows you to view most shoes from as many as eight different angles, including a close up.4. Increased selection. Warehousing logistics can be much simpler for an online retailer, and many of the online superstores have a staggering inventory to choose from. Plus, as a consumer, you can avoid the inconvenience of physically traveling among online stores to comparison shop. A simple online search can lead you to the right product at the right price, fast.5. Convenience. An online store allows you to shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So you can shop at your leisure, regardless of your time zone. This is particularly important for those of us who are limited in our ability to get to a brick and mortar store. The elderly, as well as parents of young children, for example, may have a more relaxed shopping experience in front of the computer screen.6. Saves time. So much of the vast variety of products and product information is easily searchable. Plus, there is no traveling, parking, and walking involved.7. Environmental Benefits. Recent studies are showing that shopping online leads to reduced fuel consumption and air pollution, because so much of our car travel is dedicated to shopping. Plus, shopping online reduces the need for print catalogs and excess packaging. And downloadable items purchased online eliminate the need for any kind of material goods at all.The Many Advantages And Benefits Of Online ShoppingSince the development of the Internet many things that were pretty hard to obtain or to do, like information on a large variety of topics or communication with distant friends have become so simple that anyone can have access to them just by using a computer.Among the many advantages that the Internet gives us, one of the main ones is online shopping, an activity that many have become addicted to. Shopping is a necessity for all of us, some of us really enjoy it, and others try to keep it as simple and short as possible. Well, online shopping is the best solution for boththose who consider it a chore that they try to avoid and for those who do it on a daily basis.The main advantage of online shopping is that it allows people to browse through many items and categories without leaving their house, to compare the prices of as many shops as they want, and also to order as many items as they can afford without having to worry about how they will transport them, because the online shopping websites also deliver the things to the buyer's home. Furthermore, the Internet is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you don't have to hurry or worry about finding a parking spot.If you plan on shopping from the Internet then first use a search engine to find online shops. If you want fast deliveries and low shipping fees then try to search for the shops that are in your country. You can use a shopping directory that contains categorized links to stores from a specific region or from all over the world, together with reviews from other customers. If you live in a big country you'll be surprised to find out that there are thousands of online shops available where you live, and these shops sell everything that can be sold, from baby products to dog houses and motor oil.Most of the online shopping websites have the same pattern, first you choose the category under which your item is listed, and then you can select the item that you're looking for, and add it to your shopping cart. If you want to buy other items, you click the "add to cart" button near them, and when you're finished you check out. After that you can see a list with everything that you've ordered, and the total amount that has to be paid. You can also remove items from your shopping cart if you desire to do so. Payment is usually done by credit card. The buyer enters the data on the credit card and the shop charges the price and then delivers the items to the buyer's house in a few days. The transaction is perfectly safe and the credit card data you send is encrypted so it can't be stolen.Remember to always compare the prices, check for discounts, search for the lowest shipping taxes and make sure that what you've found can't be found cheaper anywhere else.After you've done some online shopping you'll see how easy it is and you'll quickly get used to it. Soon you will know what the best shopping websites are and you will be able to buy the things you need very easy and fast, saving a lot of time and trouble. Online shopping is the most practical, economical and fun method of shopping, that is perfect for everyone. Disadvantages of Online ShoppingOnline shopping has emerged as the new of way of buying stuff. Everyone is happy with this new method of shopping as it provides considerable easy over the other alternative of brick and mortar shopping. People like online shopping because it is easy, you can buy your favorite products from the comforts of your home, it is cheap, since there are lesser marketing and other costs associated with maintaining a physical store; online goods are generally cheaper, you don't have to burn your fuel in going to the store, then looking for a parking and then physically selecting the good. It also gives a wider choice in terms of the range of products available; since an online store does not have to maintain the entire inventory, they provide you a wider range.However all that glitters is not gold and similarly online shopping also has some pitfalls or risks associated with it. Though there are a lot of advantages associated with online shopping there are also some risks associated with it. A lot of these risks are basically people dependent and can be prevented by being a little vigilant and following some basic precaution. Here I am trying to enumerate a few of them. FraudsCredit card fraud is one of the most common types of fraud in online shopping. Every time you use your credit card for an online purchase, you run the risk of credit card fraud. However this can be reduced by transacting on a site that is secure. To identify a secure site look out for a small lock icon in the lower left hand side of the page alternately look out for urls starting with https instead of http.Hidden CostsThere may be nasty surprises which may take place. Hidden cost like unexpected delivery charges or a product that isn't exactly what you had in mind.PrivacyIn online shopping buyers are required to provide their personal information, there is a high chance that this information may be misused by unscrupulous elements. Privacy is a concern in some of the online sites. Some of these sites take your personal data and sell them to other marketing sites that bombard you with their offers. To prevent this best way is to buy from reputed sites, and not to provide your primary email id. You should provide your secondary email id. Item IssuesSome items are not returnable. Some are used or damaged when they are shipped. These are just nature of online transactions that can be dealt with by being a little careful while transacting.Time for DeliveryIn online shopping buyers can buy item from any part of the world, this may take some extra time in delivery of the item, as even though the transaction happens instantly the item has to physically travel to you.。

雅思口语购物话题

雅思口语购物话题

雅思口语购物话题1. Why does shopping make people happy?误区:这个问题其实比较简单,但仍然有一些同学可能会反而把这个问题想得很复杂,我们其实并不必须要从一个非常专业的心理学角度psychological angle来准确回答,只必须要做到"言之有理,言之有物,紧扣主题,自圆其说'就可以了。

思路:一说起购物,我们可能就会联想到几个女士领着五颜六色的包包在很大的商场里面买东西。

没错,就抓住你的这个第一印象我们就可以展开。

买东西,尤其是女性购买衣服,都是为了自己的形象image能够拿得出手look good,这样才会提升自己的魅力charm或者charisma,还有自信心confidence等等。

其实不光是女士,男士在买车买房上也是比较务实的practical或者唯物的materialistic,因为社会上大家都在这么做,你如果不这么购置物品和别人坚持基本的一致的话,在某种意义上来说,你还不够成功。

但是通过购买,你就可以获得成就感a sense of achievement 等。

我们还可以罗列更多这样的例子,主语可以换成同学students,老年人the elderly,或者再确切点家庭主妇housewives,商业大亨business tycoon,都可以通过他们购买的特定东西来说明让他们快乐的原因。

Well, you know its always a pleasant feeling to wear brand new clothes that look good. It can make your image better and improve your charisma, and people are moreself-confident when they are pleased with their appearance.I think its understandable that ladies always try to buy new clothes. Furthermore, people are all becoming more and more materialistic: we all care about occupying good stuff like cars or big houses and even the latest version of iPhone, especially when other people have. If we can afford something fancy with our own salary, we will experience a sense of achievement.语料补充:几种在句中常见的表示递进的关联词,来替换and的单一性:furthermore, moreover, still, in addition, additionally, more specifically, besides, in other words, on the other hand, meanwhile, at the same time2. How do shops nowadays compare to shops in the past?误区:很多同学还是比较擅长描述现在的购物都是怎么样的。

雅思写作利弊分析:网络购物

Write about the following topicBuying things on the Internet, such as books, air tickets and groceries, is becoming more and more popular. Do the advantages of shopping in this way outweigh the disadvantages?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Model:It is becoming increasingly common for people to go online to buy what they need rather than going to a shop or travel agent to do so. Although there are some dangers and disadvantages to internet shopping, I believe that the convenience often outweighs any drawbacks.There are two main dangers and disadvantages to buying things on the Internet. The one that attracts the most publicity is the problem of internet fraud. Unless the website is secure. Hackers may be able to copy your credit card details and steal your money. A further disadvantage is that you cannot examine what you are buying until after you have bought it. This means you may sometimes buy something that you do not really want.On the other hand, shopping for certain things on the Internet has several points in its favor. The main one is its convenience. People who want to compare products and prices can look at all this information on a website without having to go from shop to shop. Also, they can make their purchases at any time of day or night and from any part of the world. The other advantage is that because internet companies do not need a shop, the products which they sell are often cheaper.All in all, l think that the advantages of using the Internet for buying things such as books, computers and air tickets are greater than the disadvantages. However, someone that wants to buy clothes should visit shops because they need to see and touch them before buying them, and I would not recommend purchasing them online.(267 words)。

雅思话题总结--购物

雅思话题总结--购物

●Traditional shopping and online shopingCompare with the traditinalshopping ,shopping online is more cheap and convenience . online Shopping jacket has become more and more popular over the years and is a passion for many people. The convenience of the internet has made shopping available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many online stores offe r free shipping and discounts. And today with all the added internet security, shopping online has become safer than ever.Now you have the ability to do all you’re shopping at the click of a mouse at any time of the day or night. Shopping online has given us the ability to find the one thing we are looking for within just a few minutes on the internet instead of going up and down the aisles in the store for hours. Shopping moncler coats online sometimes has proven to be a tremendous time saver for those busy moms who already have so much to do. Need a gift, you can find the perfect, unique gift online, have it wrapped and shipped with a card within minutes of being online. Free Shipping免运费is a favorite for many people.●Online shopingOnline shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the Internet. It is a form of electronic commerce.An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, webshop, webstore, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping mall. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. When a business buys from another business it is called Business-to-Business (B2B) online shopping.●The advantages and disadvantages of online shoping.Advantages[edit] Convenience Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have Internet access both at work and at home. Other establishments such as internet cafes and schools provide access as well. A visit to a conventional retail store requires travel and must take place during business hours.I n the event of a problem with the item – it is not what the consumer ordered,or it is not what they expected –consumers are concerned with the ease with which they can return an item for the correct one or for a refund. Consumers may need to contact the retailer, visit the post office and pay return shipping, and t hen wait for a replacement or refund退款. Some online companies have more generous return policies to compensate 弥补for the traditional advantage of physical stores. For example, the online shoe retailer includes labels for free return shipping, and does not charge a restocking fee, even for returns 退货which are not the result of merchant error. (Note: In the United Kingdom, online shops are prohibited from charging a restocking fee if the consumer cancels their order in accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Act 2000.[17])[edit]Information and reviews Online stores must describe products for sale with text, photos, and multimedia files, whereas in a physical retail store, the actual product and the manufacturer's packaging will be available for directinspection 检查(which might involve a test drive, fitting, or other experimentation).Some online stores provide or link to supplemental product information, such as instructions, safety procedures, demonstrations, or manufacturer specifications. Some provide background information, advice, or how-to guides designed to help consumers decide which product to buy.Some stores even allow customers to comment or rate their items. There are also dedicated review sites that host user reviews for different products.In a conventional retail store, clerks are generally available to answer questions. Some online stores have real-time chat features, but most rely on e-mail or phone calls to handle customer questions.[edit] Price and selection One advantage of shopping online is being able to quickly seek out deals for items or services with many different vendors供应商(though some local search engines do exist to help consumers locate products for sale in nearby stores). Search engines, online price comparison services and discovery shopping engines can be used to look up sellers of a particular product or service.Shipping costs (if applicable) reduce the price advantage of online merchandise, though depending on the jurisdiction, a lack of sales tax may compensate for this.Shipping a small number of items, especially from another country, is much more expensive than making the larger shipments bricks-and-mortar retailers order. Some retailers (especially those selling small, high-value items like electronics) offer free shipping on sufficiently large orders.Another major advantage for retailers is the ability to rapidly switch suppliers and vendors without disrupting users' shopping experience.[edit] Disadvantages[edit] Fraud and security concerns Given the lack of ability to inspect merchandise before purchase, consumers are at higher risk of fraud on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. Merchants also risk fraudulent purchases using stolen credit cards or fraudulent repudiation of the online purchase. With a warehouse instead of a retail storefront, merchants face less risk from physical theft.Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption has generally solved the problem of credit card numbers being intercepted in transit between the consumer and the merchant. Identity theft is still a concern for consumers when hackers break into a merchant's web site and steal names, addresses and credit card numbers. A number of high-profile break-ins in the 2000s has prompted some U.S. states to require disclosure to consumers when this happens. Computer security has thus become a major concern for merchants and e-commerce serviceproviders, who deploy countermeasures such as firewalls and anti-virus software to protect their networks.Phishing网络欺诈is another danger, where consumers are fooled into thinking they are dealing with a reputable retailer, when they have actually been manipulated into feeding private information to a system operated by a malicious party. Denial of service attacks are a minor risk for merchants, as are server and network outages.Quality seals can be placed on the Shop web page if it has undergone an independent assessment and meets all requirements of the company issuing the seal.The purpose of these seals is to increase the confidence of the online shoppers; the existence of many different seals, or seals unfamiliar to consumers, may foil this effort to a certain extent. A number of resources offer advice on how consumers can protect themselves when using online retailer services. These include:Sticking with known stores, or attempting to find independent consumer reviews of their experiences; also ensuring that there is comprehensive contact information on the website before using the service, and noting if the retailer has enrolled in industry oversight programs such as trust mark or trust seal.Before buying from a new company, evaluate the website by considering issues such as:the professionalism and user-friendliness of the site; whether or not the company lists a telephone number and/or street address along with e-contact information; whether a fair and reasonable refund and return policy is clearly stated; and whether there are hidden price inflators, such as excessive shipping and handling charges.Ensuring that the retailer has an acceptable privacy policy posted. For example note if the retailer does not explicitly state that it will not share private information with others without consent.Ensuring that the vendor address is protected with SSL (see above) when entering credit card information. If it does the address on the credit card information entry screen will start with "HTTPS".Using strong passwords, without personal information.Another option is a "pass phrase," which might be something along the lines: "I shop 4 good a buy!!" These are difficult to hack, and provides a variety of upper, lower, and special characters and could be site specific and easy to remember.Although the benefits of online shopping are considerable, when the process goes poorly it can create a thorny situation. A few problems that shoppers potentially face include identity theft, faulty products, and the accumulation of spyware. Whenever you purchase a product, you are going to be required to put in your credit card information and billing/shipping address. If the website is not secure a customers information can be accessible to anyone who knows how to obtain it. Most large online corporations are inventing new ways to makefraud more difficult, however, the criminals are constantly responding to these developments with new ways to manipulate the system. Even though these efforts are making it easier to protect yourself online, it is a constant fight to maintain the lead. It is advisable to be aware of the most current technology and scams out there to fully protect yourself and your finances.[20]. One of the hardest areas to deal with in online shopping is the delivery of the products. Most companies offer shipping insurance in case the product is lost or damaged; however, if the buyer opts not to purchase insurance on their products, they are generally out of luck. Some shipping companies will offer refunds or compensation for the damage, but it is up to their discretion if this will happen.It is important to realize that once the product leaves the hands of the seller, they have no responsibility (provided the product is what the buyer ordered and is in the specified condition).[20SupermarketA supermarket, a form of grocery store, is a self-service store offering awide variety of food and household merchandise, organized into departments. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store, also selling items typically found in a convenience store, but is smaller and more limited in the range of merchandise than a hypermarket or big-box store.The supermarket typically c omprises meat, fresh produce, dairy, and baked goods departments, along with shelf space reserved for canned and packaged goods as well as for various non-food items such as household cleaners, pharmacy products and pet supplies.Most supermarkets also sell a variety of other household products that are consumed regularly, such as alcohol (where permitted), medicine, and clothes, and some stores sell a much wider range of non-food products.The traditional suburban supermarket occupies a large amount of floor space, usually on a single level. It is usually situated near a residential area in order to be convenient to consumers. Its basic appeal is the availability of a broad selection of goods under a single roof, at relatively low prices. Other advantages include ease of parking and frequently the convenience of shopping hours that extend far into the evening o r even 24 hours a day. Supermarkets usually allocate large budgets to advertising,typically throughnewspapers.They also present elaborate in-store displays of products. The stores are usually part of corporate chains that own or control (sometimes by franchise) other supermarkets located nearby—even transnationally—thus increasing opportunities for economies of scale.Supermarkets typically are supplied by the distribution centres分销中心of their parent companies,总公司such as Loblaw罗布老Companies in Canada, which operates thousands of supermarkets across the nation. Loblawoperates a distribution centre in every province—usually in the largest city in the province.Supermarkets usually offer products at low prices by reducing their economic margins. Certain products (typically staple foods such as bread, milk and sugar) are occasionally sold as loss leaders loss leader为招徕顾客而廉价出售的商品;[美国英语]为招徕顾客而亏本出售的商品, that is, with negative profit margins. To maintain a profit, supermarkets attempt to make up for the lower margins by a higher overall volume of sales, and with the sale of higher-margin items. Customers usually shop by placing their selected merchandise into shopping carts (trolleys) or baskets (self-service) and pay for the merchandise at the check-out. At present, many supermarket chains are attempting to further reduce labor costs by shifting to self-service check-out machines, where a single employee can oversee a group of four or five machines at once, assisting multiple customers at a time.A larger full-service supermarket combined with a department store issometimes known as a hypermarket.Other services offered at some supermarkets may include those of banks, cafés, childcare centres/creches, photo processing, video rentals, pharmacies and/or petrol stations.HistoryIn the early days of retailing, all products generally were fetched by an assistant from shelves behind the merchant's counter while customers waited in front of the counter and indicated the items they wanted. Also, most foods and merchandise did not come in individually wrapped consumer-sized packages, so an assistant had to measure out and wrap the precise amount desired by the consumer. T his also offered opportunities for social interaction: many regarded this style of shopping as "a social occasion" and would often "pause for conversations with the staff or other customers."[1] These practices were by nature very labor-intensive and therefore also quite expensive. The shopping process was slow, as the number of customers who could be attended to at one time was limited by the number of staff employed in the store.The concept of a self-service grocery store was developed by American entrepreneur Clarence Saunders and his Piggly Wiggly stores. His first store opened in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1916. Saunders was awarded a number of patents for the ideas he incorporated into his stores.[2][3][4][5] The stores were a financial success and Saunders began to offer franchises. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P) was another successful early grocery store chain in Canada and the United States, and became common in North American cities in the 1920s. The general trend in retail since then has been to stock shelves at night so that customers, the following day, can obtain their own goods and bring them to the front of the store to pay for them. Although there is a higher risk of shoplifting, the costs of appropriate security measures ideally will be outweighed by reduced labor costs.[citation needed]Early self-service grocery stores did not sell fresh meats or produce.Combination stores that sold perishable items were developed in the 1920s.[6]CriticismsSupermarket, in general, tend to narrow the choices of fruits and vegetables by stocking only varieties with long storage lives.In the United States, major-brand supermarkets often demand slotting fees from suppliers in exchange for premium shelf space and/or better positioning (such as at eye-level, on the checkout aisle or at a shelf's "end cap"). This extra supplier cost (up to $30,000 per brand for a chain for each individual SKU) may be reflected in the cost of the products offered. Some critics have questioned the ethical and legal propriety of slotting fee payments and their effect on smaller suppliers [4] [5] [6].In Britain supermarkets have been accused of squeezing prices to farmers, forcing small shops out of business, and often favouring imports over British produce. [7]S upermarkets can generally retail at lower prices than traditional corner shops and markets due to higher volume throughput. This has led to small businesses losing customers and closing in many areas, which can be seen as an adverse effect on the local infrastructure. (Others view supermarkets as having better economies of scale.) In 2000, the Finnish government drafted the new shopping hours law in such a way, that shops with a sub-supermarket floor area (<400m2) have year-around Sunday opening rights, while supermarkets are permitted to stay open on Sundays only during the summer and mid-winter months.[citation needed]In New Zealand, supermarkets have been accused of buying fresh produce from growers at low prices and selling with ridiculously high mark-ups, sometimes as high as 500%[8].。

Unlike boys who think thatwindow shopping is waste of time and energy, I think even window shopping can make my day. Men always believe that it is absurd that women spend hours and hours shopping at malls. What can I say? Maybe they just don’t know women. Just like we girls can never understand why men can talk about stocks and cars all day long!B: I am not a big fan of it. I think window shopping is waste of time and energy, I always believe that it is absurd that women spend hours and hours shopping at malls. Maybe we just don’t know women. Just like girls can never understand why we can talk about stocks and cars all day long!2.How often do you usually go shopping?Generally speaking, I go shopping once a week, but it varies. It depends on my mood. If I am in the mood to go shopping, I will go shopping anytime.3.When was the last time you had a great shopping experience?It was this August, I went shopping with my friends. It was the final sale. Everything was on sale. Those discounts were up to 80%, tempting, huh? We got a lot of things, which were really bargains. It was a great day and an excellent shopping experience!4.Where do you usually go shopping, big shopping malls or small stores?It depends on what I want to buy. If I buy some daily necessities, I will go to a supermarket; if I look for some clothes, I will choose some shopping malls, franchised stores or those fancy boutiques. If I have a fairly tight budget, I might consider shopping online. Taobao is my favorite. There are millions of eye-dazzling products, the same stuff, the same quality, and lower prices.。

雅思口语话题:购物2016雅思口语话题范文:购物雅思考试要想取得好成绩,考生们必须好好复习,为了帮助大家更好的备考,以下是yjbys网店铺整理的关于雅思口语话题范文:购物,供大家练习备考。

1.How often do people in your country go shopping?That really depends on the person but girls and women do it more frequently than boys and men. My sister often purchases things on the internet while my mother likes to visit her friends at the mall on weekends for visiting and shopping. My father and I do very little shopping and when we do it’s usually online but my father must go to the shopping mall to buy his clothes because his size is very big and needs to try on the clothing before he purchases it.2.What kinds of places are popular for shopping in China?Online shopping on Taobao, shopping malls and local markets are the places that we go shopping at in my hometown in Shenyang.3.Do you think online shopping will replace shopping in reality?Not in my lifetime. Online shopping is great for some simple inexpensive things to be delivered to your house like DVD’s, books, multitudes of grocery items and healthcare products etc., but this will not replace the habits of window shopping, viewing movies at the cinema’s there, and all of the talking you do wi th your friends while you are there. These social gathering places can’t be replaced by online shopping.4.Did you ever have bad shopping experience?Yes, I bought a wallet online that in the pictures online lookedvery good. Once I received it, it had scratches all over one side of it. I asked them to replace it but they said they were out of stock and wouldn’t be getting any more of those wallets. If I wanted a refund I had to ship it back but the shipping was almost the price of the wallet so I just gave up!5.What would you do if you bought something disappointing from the internet?The only option is to send it back and get a refund but that takes time and will cost you money for shipping. It’s not worth sending back unless the item is either insured or is expensive.6.How is online shopping so popular these days?Well, in recent years, because of the numerous advantages and benefits, more and more people these days prefer buying things online over the conventional method of going into stores.When it comes to reasons, the convenience is the biggest perk, people can do shopping in minutes, and the products will be delivered to their doors. Also, the better price is another point. Because products come to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middleman being involved. I think that' why online shopping becomes so popular.。

雅思口语全攻略之网上淘宝篇

雅思口语全攻略之网上淘宝篇

雅思口语全攻略之------网上淘宝篇雅思口语第三阶段为two-way discussion,其间考官和考生进行4-5分钟的交谈。

话题总的来说是围绕第二阶段的题目展开的,比如说如果第二部分要求考生描述他(她)喜欢的一个房间或公寓,那第三部分的问题会紧紧围绕住宿和生活方式这样的主题的。

由于问题有了广度和深度,回答起来也就不是那么容易,有些问题想必考生用中文都没有考虑过,更别说用英文来讨论了。

因此在准备第三阶段时,有必要先了解问题的风格和类型。

一般而言,第三阶段的题目通常包含描述变化(中国住房近20年的变化)、做比较(大学生活和中学生活)、做预测(将来交通方式会有何发展)、提出解决方案(如何解决环抱问题)以及陈述个人意见(网络对阅读习惯有何冲击)等。

就主题而言,题目涉及衣食住行,科技文化;就深度而言,关于同一话题的题目也有深浅之分,比如说同样是“public transport”,考官可能会先问“What kind of public transport do people around you use?”,然后再过渡到“What can the government do to improve public transport?”,两个问题的难度不同是很明显的。

雅思口语的这种话题多样、深度递增的出题特点,让很多考生觉得准备起来无从下手。

很多人会考虑购买市面上的参考书,背诵上面的答案,实际上这个办法很不可取。

原因有二:其一,答案千篇一律,会引起考官反感;其二,答案本身存在问题,很多就是中国人自己编写出来的,在用词和答题角度上带有很深的中国人思维的痕迹。

那么怎样才能准备一些很个性化但同时在语言上和思维上又很地道的答案呢?其实网上淘宝资源是一个很好的解决方案。

比如就以“public transport”为例,看看如何一“网”打尽。

关于公共交通的话题在雅思中时常考到,如果考生对这个大话题下的相关词汇、句型和观点有比较全面的把握的话,那么无论考官问与此相关的何种话题,考生都可以轻松应对了。

雅思口语part1购物类话题分析

雅思口语part1购物类话题分析

雅思口语part1购物类话题分析首先,是购物类话题介绍。

购物类话题主要分为两大类:场所(商店,超市,淘宝……)和物品(具体是什么)。

所以考生需要对各自涉及到的词汇实行积累:场所词汇:Shopping centre 商业中心区Department store 百货商店Children’s goods store 儿童用品商店Antique shop 古玩店Second-hand store旧货店Stall, stand售货摊Show case玻璃柜台……物品词汇:Cosmetics化妆用品Confectionery糖果糕点Stationery文具Fabrics纺织品Sports goods 体育用品根据每个人的不同需求,不管是购物场所还是所需商品都会有所不同,各种各样,这里仅仅给出极小部分的词汇供大家参考,更多内容考生能够网上搜索相关词汇实行全面的积累。

购物类话题涉及到的其他词汇Bargain sale大减价Out of stock 售完Buy one and get anyone free买一赠一Free gift 免费礼品Free of charge 不收费Gift voucher 礼券Price tag 标价签……其次,则是雅思口语相关表达的使用。

考生能够根据词汇的积累联系具体的问题概括购物的特点然后实行描述。

而在雅思口语考试时,考生也能够先向考官陈述自己是哪种类型的购物者,联系场所商品词汇和情景实行表述。

如:Impulse shopper冲动型购物者,不一定喜欢;Bargain buyer会砍价的;Serious shopper严谨的购物者(不会因为什么而改变自己的初衷)Situational shopper根据情况而定的购物者一些时尚流行的购物类词汇考生也能够多做积累,如,couples dress情侣装;flash sale抢购……;此外还有一些关于商品的描述的句式和词汇也能够作为大家积累的素材之一,如,it’s too small for me. This suit fits perfectly.等具体的描述。

雅思英语考试:网购话题。高中英语写作:网购shopping online

关于购物(shopping)的英语话题写作1:Describe a problem that you had while shopping online or in a store.Well recently I was let down by a really really bad online shopping experience. Well I have an old laptop that I bought overseas a long time ago an. Last year I needed to buy a replacement battery and I couldn’t find one anywhere. No one seemed to stock the exact type I needed. I think the manufacturers do that on purpose, you know they just want you to buy a new computer. But I persevered to find and finally I found a company which had a battery I needed but they said it would take 2 months to deliver it. I don’t have many alternatives so I went for it. First of all, the ordering process was really tricky, the website was so clunky, it looks like it was made in the 1990s and hadn’t been updated since. So then I spent about 6 weeks tracking my battery as it made its way around the world. It showed out it arrived in the country but then it disappeared of the radar completely. I contacted the company, but they had no idea what had happened and it sent me a refund(他们给我退了款). I was ready to just call it quits but last week I received a package from the same website, the package contained a battery but it was for a phone not for a laptop. And it had my name and address and so on, anyhow I gave up on them, it was too much hassle.2: What kind of customer service would you say was good customer service? And why do you think that?A good customer service means providing customers with a smooth and pleasant shopping experience.Apparently satisfied customers can contribute greatly to business success in terms of both profit and brand awareness.3: Do you think people prefer to shop online or in a physical store?I would say people would rather go for online shopping because you know nowadays you can order almost anything just at your fingertips and have it delivered to your doorstep in a few days. It’s extremely convenient.4: Do you think what kind of problems can be met when shopping?For sure usually it’s either related to the product or the customer service. You know things areout of stock, things are of poor quality and things are not working, and when people pay there maybe payment issues. And after they buy it, they may not be satisfied with the product and that’s when after sales customer service may go wrong. When things happens, I would highly recommend a company to improve their customer service by asking the customer to provide negative feedback and suggestion and by receiving the feedback and suggestion, the company can see how well their customer services performances are. Moreover and alternative would be for the company to provide a suggestion box.。
