雅思口语考试Part 1参考答案(6.5分-7.5分)
8.4 An important inventionPart11. Have you ever stayed in a really nice/expensive hotel? (Experience Question: a good sample is supposed to briefly convey the feeling of that experience attached with the main details.)Yeah, I still remember the last New Year when my uncle invited all of my family members to stay 3 nights in the most up-scale hotel of my hometown. We all enjoyed the luxurious facilities, like the cozy bed and smooth velvit. I was even served breakfast every morning in my room. It’s fantastic.2. What services and facilities are usually available in hotels in your country? (Description Question: The most common mistake is to list all the ‘facilities’ one has ever known. A better answer should focus on a certain aspect and illustrate some details to support this aspect. If a student finds it too hard to get something sepcial, he/ she can try to categarise the target details and illustrate their functions one by one. )Sample 1: Well, in my mind, most of my country’s hotels could offer the majority of the basic facilities in their service, but the lockers or drawers with keys might be something special. You know, some business people whose work involes confidentiality would appreciate this facility very much.Sample 2: In my mind, most of my country’s hotels could offer the majority of the basic facilities in their service, like beds, TVs and showers with hot water. These facilities are essential to make the guests have less uncomfortable feelings in an unfamiliar environment. Most of the hotels also provide some wardrobes to the guests to hang their clothes.3. What factors are important when selecting a hotel? (Giving Opinion Questions: The sturcture of this kind of question is quite clear. The answerer is supposed to propose an opinion and give some explanation.)From my perspective, security is the thing I pay the utmost attention to. That includes not only just the CCTV cameras but also the maintaining of their facilities. We should, first of all, ensure ourselves not injured by accident when we choose to stay a while in some places.Part 2Describe an important invention (before the age of computers) that has influenced human society.You should say:what the invention iswhen and where it was inventedhow it is usedand explain how this invention has influenced society.In my mind, trains have been serving as an outcome of the desire to facilitate humans’ lives and never fall behind people’s expectations. As an art and literature student, I can’t exactly tell the origin of this great invention. However, I thought its creation could date back to the age of steam train in UK after the invention of team machine by James Watt. The increase of our life qualities should owe a lot to this invention for two reasons. (Background Information) For one thing, almost every citizen in today’s modern society enjoys the high frequency and speed of the railway service. Specifically, people only need to spend several hours to cover a long distance journey which would have taken them about a month in the past. One could even get into the next train in less an hour if the one issued by the ticket was missed. (Point 1 + Explanation)For another, the net of the rail tracks covers a large area of my country. No matter how remote your location is, you would have a relatively easier access to the nearest train station.Speaking of this, I should say thanks to the invention of train as a globetrotter. (Point 2 + Explanation)All in all, trains play an important role in our life and contribute a lot to our society. (Ending Sentence)Part 31.What changes have taken place in society as a result of the use of modern technology such as the television and the computer? (Description Question)The past decades witnessed a series of changes brought by high technologies. On the one hand, people benefit a lot from the convenience and efficiency supported by thoseadvanced technologies. For example, computer has speeded up the pace of almost every single work and is going to make more changes in the near future. On the other hand, high technology also invades into people’s daily lives and shapes people’s life styles.One of the most noticeable phenomenon must be the growing number of phubbers who care less and less about their surroundings.2. Do you think people rely too much on machines and modern technology nowadays? (Giving Opinion Question)Absolutely yes. People have already lost the ability to deal with even basic tasks without the assistance of technology. Specifically, we could see this from the overwhelmingoccupation of those so-called ‘user friendly’ electronic products. People even don’t have to read the instruction before they get familiar with the main functions.3. How do you think modern technology will change the way people work in the future? (Prediction Question)To tell the truth, people’s way of working is being changed by the most cutting-edgetechnology all the time and this will definitely be the tendency in the future. Obviously, people have been changing their minds to keep in tune with the high-tech to enhancetheir work efficiency. It’s natural to benefit from what we created.。
雅思口语part 1题目和参考答案
Part 1: Social Networking1. What kinds of social networking websites do you like to use?Um…I suppose the main one I use is weibo, which is basically the equivalent of Twitter in the West. And um… as well as that, I occasionally use a website called renrenwang, which is essentially a Chinese version of Facebook, although I don’t really use it as much as I used to, cos I think weibo’s a bit better.2. What kinds of people do you like to be friends with on those websites? I’m not really that picky actually. I mean, if anyone’s interested enough to get in touch with me on a social networking site, then it feels quite nice, you know, someone’s gone out of their way to contact me. So I kind of appreciate it, and I’m generally willing to make friends with them.3. Are you a social person?Yeah, I’d say I am, cos I mean, I like hanging out with my friends a lot and doing stuff with them. And… yeah, I just generally enjoy being around others, and you know, I’ve always found it quite easy to strike up conversations with people, even complete strangers! So yeah, I’d say I am quite a social person.(If no:)Not really, if I’m gonna be totally honest with you! Because um… how can I put it…, I’m just not the kind of person who actively strikes up conversations with others. You know, to me that’s just too much effort, and I always worry that I’ll run out of things to talk about! So I tend to just keep to myself.4. Is it easy to find real friends on a social networking site?I’m honestly not that sure because I’ve never really made a big effort to find friends on the Internet, but thinking about it, I’d say it’s probably not that easy, although it’s definitely possible, cos um… I think you never quite know someone properly until you’ve met them in the flesh. At least that’s been my experience anyway!5. What kinds of chatting APPs or software do Chinese people like to use? Well definitely the most popular APP right now is WeChat, cos I mean, literally everyone in China uses it. And as well as this, QQ is the other really popular way of communicating with people, and if you’ve been in China for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve been asked for your WeChat or QQ number!Part 1: Being Alone1. Do you like being alone?Yeah, I don’t mind being alone. I guess as long as it’s not, like, for a really long length of time, it’s fine. You know, it’s kind of um… I don’t really know how to put it, but I suppose what I’m basically trying to say is that it feels kind of relaxing being alone. You know, it gives me the chance to ponder and reflect on certain stuff. So um… yeah, I find it quite enjoyable, but if I’m alone for a long length of time, then I guess it can get quite depressing.2. What do you do when you’re alone?I would say, on the whole, I mainly like to read when I’m alone. That’s one of the things I most enjoy doing, you know, sitting down with a book. It’s just a really relaxing way to pass the time! And apart from that, um.. what else do I like doing on my own…? Uh… Sometimes I might watch a bit of TV, because ifit’s too quiet around me it can feel a bit discomforting, if you know what I mean, it just adds to the loneliness. So if I’ve got the TV on, it feels kind of nice having some sound around me, which in a way, gets rid of the loneliness to some extent.3. Do you prefer to spend time with your friends or just stay at home alone? Um… thinking about it, I’d say I generally prefer to spend time with my friends, simply because I always have a good time whenever I’m with them. But that’s not to say I don’t like being on my own at home, it’s just that it’s not as fun! You know, I’m quite a sociable person by nature, so I tend to prefer being in the company of others.4. When was the last time you were alone?Um… I suppose it really depends for how long. Because I mean, pretty much every day I’m alone for some parts of the day, although it may just be for a very short period of time. But um…let me see……the last time I was alone was yesterday in fact, when I was doing some reading in my room. And I was on my own for about two or three hours or so.Part 1: Teachers1. Do you have a favourite teacher?Um… Yeah, I suppose I do, but it’s actually kind of hard to pick out a favourite because I’ve been really lucky with all my teachers. You know, they’ve been really great, at least most of them anyway, but I guess my favourite teacher would have to be my Chinese language teacher, because she was incredible. I mean, the amount of effort she put into her teaching, and her attention to detail, were just amazing. And not only that, but she also showed a genuine care for all of us, which left a really deep impression on me. So yeah, out of all my teachers, I’d say she was probably my favourite.2. What kinds of teachers do you like?I guess…. um…first of all, teachers who are passionate about their subject, because you know, if they show enthusiasm for what they’re teaching, I’m much more likely to get interested in that subject and do well in it. And as well as this, I also like teachers that are supportive and…what’s the word…. approachable. So in other words, teachers that show patience and understanding, and are there for you if you need help.3. What are the qualities of a good teacher?Um…. I guess the best way to answer this would be to think of some of the good teachers I’ve had at school and university. So please hang on just a second while I have a quick think about it…..! Ok, well the good teachers I’ve had have shown a genuine care for their students. You know, they genuinely want their students to learn and develop. It’s not just simply a job to them. So yeah I think that’s the most important thing – taking their job seriously and really caring about their students’ development.4. Do you think teachers should be angry at students or not?No, I think as a general rule, teachers shouldn’t get angry at students. You know, it never ends well when teachers get angry, at least in my experience! So in my view, I think teachers should always control their temper, whatever the situation, and instead use other means to get their point across. I mean, I’m sure you’veexperienced it before, that when a teacher gets angry, the whole atmosphere in the class changes, to one of fear, which is definitely not conducive to learning.5. Do you like strict teachers?Yeah I do. I have no problem with them at all, as long as they’re fair! Because I think, on the whole, they tend to set high standards, and so consequently, that makes us work harder and learn more. And the other good thing about strict teachers is that they keep students in line, which means that the class won’t be interrupted by slackers who just want to joke around and be a nuisance.6. What’s the difference between young and old teachers?There’s probably not all that much difference actually, but I guess the main one would be the level of experience. You know, I think it’s fair to say that old teachers tend to have more experience than young ones, and so they’ll be more skilled at adapting to any kind of situation that might arise in class, whereas young teachers might struggle.So that’s one difference, and I suppose another might be the use of technology, cos probably a lot of old teachers might stick to the traditional teaching methods they’re familiar with, whereas young teachers, I think, are more likely to bring technology into their teaching, such as using iPads and laptops in class. So yeah, I’d say these are probably the main differences.Part 1: Being in a hurry1.When was the last time you did something in a hurry?Um… when was it?...Let me have a think…I guess it was probably um… a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday, and I had booked a taxi to arrive at the place where I was staying, at about noon-ish, and I still had some clearing up to do, you know, I didn’t want to leave the place in a mess. So yeah, I was basically in a hurry tidying everything up and getting all my things packed before the taxi arrived.2. Do you like to finish things quickly?Yeah I do, cos I really don’t like things to hang over me, you know, it’s just not a nice feeling when you’ve got stuff to do hanging at the back of your mind. So I like to get stuff done as quickly as I can, but saying that, I still want to do it well of course! I mean, I’m not gonna do something haphazardly just to get it done quickly, I still wanna make sure I do it well!3. What kinds of things do you never do in a hurry?It’s an interesting question!... I’ve never really thought about that one! What kinds of things will I never do in a hurry?...um… I suppose things I would never do in a hurry would be important things, like coursework which counts towards my final grade, and what else?...I’m kind of hard pressed to think! Um… oh yeah, getting to the airport to catch a flight! You know, I’ll always give myself lots of time to get there, even if it means I arrive at the airport several hours in advance, cos it just gives me peace of mind. I mean, if you miss a flight, then your holiday’s probably gone down the drain, so it can be pretty disastrous! 4.Why do people make mistakes more easily when they are in a hurry? Um… well thinking about it, I suppose it’s simply because when people are in a hurry, they’re not really thinking clearly. You know, their mind’s kind of um.. how can I put it… I guess you could say flustered, thinking about lots of thingsat the same time, and not really being focused. So in that state of mind, I think you’d agree it’s easy to overlook things, especially small details, which will likely lead to mistakes being made!Part 1: Snacks1. What kinds of snacks do you like to eat?Um, quite a wide variety actually. Let me just think of few, um.. I like eating nuts a lot… like cashew nuts, pistachios…peanuts of course, and also melon seeds, which you get in the shops a lot over here. And um, what else do I like eating?…. Oh yeah, dried beef, or beef jerky as I think it’s also called. That’s another snackI quite enjoy eating every now and then.2. Is it healthy to eat snacks?I think it really kind of depends what snack it is, cos a lot snacks, like nuts for example, are actually pretty healthy for you. You know, they’ve got quite a lot of nutrition, but other kinds of snacks like crisps, or potato chips as some people call them, aren’t so good for you, cos they’re basically processed food, so they’ve got a lot of additives and preservatives. So those kinds of snacks you’ve got to eat in moderation, I suppose.3.Do your parents allow you to eat snacks?Yeah, they don’t mind me eating snacks. They kind of let me do what I want really, you know, I’m old enough to decide for myself what I want to eat! So they don’t really have a say in the matter. They used to, when I was younger, but now, I can pretty much do as I please!4.What was the most popular snack when you were a child?Um, without a doubt, it was crisps, cos I remember when I was a child, all my friends absolutely loved eating them, as did I, and we always had a bag of crisps in our lunchbox to take to school! And they were popular among adults too, not just children. So yeah, I’d say crisps were definitely the number one snack whenI was little.5. What kinds of snacks do children in your country like to eat?Um…let me have a think….well, when I look at children now… what kinds of things do I see them eating?....um… Sweets definitely, which I guess is the same the world over! And uh, what else?.... Oh, biscuits! I almost forgot! I see a lot of children eating biscuits of all shapes and sizes. Oh and fruit of course, if that counts as a snack!Part 1: Hanging out with friends1. How often do you hang out with friends?If not often:I guess probably something like once or twice a week. Mainly on weekends, simply because that’s when I have the most time. I would like to hang out with them more, but I’m just too busy during weekdays with my study and stuff. So yeah, by and large, I only get to do stuff with my friends on weekends.If often:Quite a lot actually. I mean, I’d say I hang out with them pretty much every day, because I go to class with them, and when class is over, we often chill out and do stuff together before heading back to our dormitory.2. Who do you usually like to hang out with?Um… I’d say it’s mainly my classmates, cos I get on with them really well, at least most of them anyway! And that’s probably due to the fact that we’ve got a lot in common, like studying the same subject, and having the same interests. And um, yeah, we’re quite a close-knit group, so I always tend to have a good time when I’m out with them.3. Where do you like to go when you hang out with your friends?Um.. all sorts of places really, nowhere in particular. I mean, we kind of just go where our mood takes us. So for example, if we wanna just go somewhere to relax, then one place we like going to is Starbucks, because it’s just a very chilled-out place and we all like our coffee! And as well as that, other places we like to hang out at are shopping malls, cos there’s quite a lot to do there, and also KTV, because we always have a lot of fun whenever we go. So yeah, these would be the main places.4.Do you like to go out with a big group or just a few friends?If you prefer being with just a few friends:Um.. on the whole I’d say I prefer going out with just a few friends, because um,… I dunno, it’s just um…I find I enjoy myself more when I’m just chatting with a few friends. It just feels…. I don’t quite know how to put it, …. It just feels like we can have deeper conversations when there are just a few of us, as opposed to a big group. You know, in a big group, it’s kind of difficult having a meaningful conversation with anyone. Plus it’s also more effort to organize and do things in a large group, like getting a table in a restaurant, or a room at KTV. So basically I find it’s not really as relaxing or enjoyable as being with just a few friends.If you prefer being out with a big group:I’d say I actually prefer going out with a big group of friends, because the more the merrier, as far as I’m concerned! You know, a big group has more of a party feel to it, so for me it’s generally a bit more fun. So I mean, I don’t mind going out with a small group, but when there’s a big group of us, it just feels a bit more exciting, if you know what I mean.Part 1: TV1.How much TV do you watch?Um… not that much, to be honest with you. I mean, I occasionally watch a sports game on TV, if it’s a team that I like, but um… that’s pretty much it! You know, most things now I just watch on my laptop or iPad.2. What’s your favourite TV program?I’m not really that sure, but off the top of my head, I’d say it’s probably Kuaile Da Benying, which I guess you could translate as Happy Camp. And it’s basically a kind of entertainment show where they invite celebrities on and play games and stuff with them. And I suppose the reason I like it so much is that it always makes me laugh whenever I watch it.3.Did you watch much TV when you were a child?No I wouldn’t say I did, because I spent most of the time either doing homework or playing with my friends. And my parents kind of discouraged me from watching it as well, cos they didn’t think it was good for me.Or:Yeah, I did watch a fair amount, mainly cartoons! And I guess it’s because I didn’t have any brothers or sisters to play with at home, so there wasn’t that much to do apart from watch TV.4. What types of programs did you watch when you were a child?I suppose it was mainly just cartoons, so I was no different from any other child in this respect. You know, as a child, cartoons are the most fun programs to watch and also the easiest to understand, and that’s really why I watched them the most.5.Do you think television has changed in the past few decades? Um…yeah, I would say that it‘s changed quite a lot. I mean, to begin with, in the past, there used to be only a limited variety of programs, whereas nowadays, there is a much wider range of things on TV, such as talent shows, dating shows and stuff like that. So that’s one thing, and another obvious change is that TV programs nowadays are pretty much all in colour, whereas in the past they used to all be in black and white. So yeah it’s changed quite a bit.6. Has television changed your life in any way?Yeah, I suppose it has, mainly in terms of the entertainment it’s provided. In other words, the programs I’ve watched have brought quite a lot of enjoyment to me. And so without TV, I guess my life wouldn’t have been as fun.Part 1: Time Management1.Are you good at organizing time?If yes:Yeah, I’d say I’m not too bad at it actually. I mean, I always get my work done on time, and I also set aside a bit of time each day to do exercise, like going for a jog or something. So um, yeah, I’d say I’m pretty organized in terms of my time.If no:No, I’m pretty bad at it, to be honest with you! I don’t normally write much down, and I don’t really spend that much time organizing what I need to do. I kind of just live each day as it comes, if you know what I mean! So yeah, I guess it’s something I need to get better at!2.How do you usually organize your time?I mainly organize it by using the uh ….what do you call it?! … the uh… calendar APP on my phone, cos I can put all my appointments and things onto it. And whenever I need to check something, I can just look at my phone. So I find it extremely helpful, and ever since I started using it, I’ve been a lot more organized.3.Do you think planning is important for time management?Yeah, most certainly. You know, I think, for anything, planning is important, and time management is no exception, because if you don’t plan your time, how can you manage it?! So I think they kind of go hand-in-hand.4.Why do you think some people pay to learn time management?I guess for some people, it’s extremely important. You know, for them, time is money, and if they don’t manage their time efficiently, they won’t be earning as much as they could. So they kind of figure that, if they pay an expert to help them manage their time well, then in the long-run, they’re gonna earn more money. So I guess you could say it’s a kind of investment.5. Do you think children should learn to manage time?Yeah, I actually think it’s a really useful thing for them to learn, and in fact, a lot more useful than many other things they’re taught at school! You know, if they learn how to manage their time at an early age, then it’s gonna help them throughout their life. So yeah, I think it’s a very good idea to do this.6. Why do some people find it hard to follow their plans?I guess there could be a number of reasons depending on the person. I mean, off the top of my head, one possible reason could be that some people make unrealistic plans, which are very hard to follow through on. For example, someone might, let’s say, plan to…I dunno, like, spend two hours a day at the gym, or practicing their English, and in reality, it might be quite difficult to do, especially for a long length of time.So this would be one reason, and I suppose another reason would be that people might be very set in their ways and have bad habits which are difficult to break out of. Like for me, I spend a lot of time reading the sports news, which is not really a very productive thing to do! And that time could be better spent doing other things, which I’m very aware of, but I still do it. So I think these kinds of ingrained habits prevent many people from carrying out their plans.7. How would you teach your children time management?That’s an interesting question, and I guess probably the way I would teach them would be to set a good example for them, in terms of how I manage my own time. So for example, show them my calendar and how I update it, so they can see how it’s done, and then hopefully do something similar themselves!Or:I would encourage them to get into the habit of doing something immediately, instead of putting it off to another time. For example, if they were given some homework with a one week deadline, I would encourage them to do it straight away instead of leaving it to the last moment. What else? Um…. I’m sure there are other ways, but this is all I can think of right now!8.Do old people and young people manage their time in a similar way? It’s really hard to generalize I think, but on the whole, I’d say they don’t really, no. I mean, young people mainly manage their time based on their studies and work. You know, that’s what their day revolves around – it’s the focus of their day. So that could be managing their time based on their homework, on their class timetable and working hours. And for older people, it’s basically just free time they’re managing! So their plans, I guess, are more flexible, and not so detailed.Another difference:I think it’s probably fair to say that young people use technology to manage their time, for example using APPs on their mobile phone, whereas I guess themajority of old people just write down their plans in a calendar or something like that.Part 1: Housework1. Do you like doing housework?No I can’t stand doing housework to be honest with you. I mean, I just find it a lot of effort. And I also don’t like getting my hands dirty, so I avoid it whenever I can!Another possible answer:No, I wouldn’t say I do, cos I find it kind of tedious. But saying that, I do get quitea nice feeling when I’ve finished it and everything looks clean and tidy!2. How do you think housework could be made more interesting?That’s a good question. I guess um... it could be made into a game, I suppose, for example have a competition with your friend to see who can, like, clean a room the fastest. That could possibly make it a bit more interesting and exciting. Um…What else? Uh let me see... that’s all I can really think of, I’m afraid – just make some game out of it!3. Did your parents ask you to do housework when you were a child? Yeah they did. Mainly it was, like, tidying my room, cos it was always quite messy. Yeah, that was the main thing. And uh, what else? Oh yeah, sometimes they would ask me to help with the washing up, but that was pretty much it. So I guess I’m kind of lucky, in that my mum did most of the housework.If no:No, on the whole, they didn’t because they wanted me to focus on my homework. Occasionally, I did do a little bit to help, like sweeping or mopping the floor, if there was a lot to be done, but by and large, I escaped doing most of the household chores, so I was pretty lucky I suppose!4. Do you think children should do some housework?Yeah I think it’s a good thing for children to do. You know, I’d say it kind of prevents them from taking things for granted, and um, it also helps develop a good work ethic.5. Which do you think is better for doing housework, a machine or a person?I think, on the whole, a person is better, because a machine might miss out a few bits. Just to give you an example, I’ve seen in some electrical appliance stores these robots that move in a random motion sucking up the dust off the floor. And to me it looks pretty inefficient, because they might go over the same spots repeatedly whilst missing out other areas. And this is not something a person would do. Having said that, I think a combination of both – i.e. humans operating certain machines, like vacuum cleaners, is probably the most ideal way to do housework.6. In the future, do you think machines will replace humans for doing housework?Not completely, no, because, as I mentioned just now, machines often need humans to operate them, so I think, in all likelihood, it will continue to be acombination of both machines and humans.Part 1: Sleeping1. How many hours do you sleep each day?It’s kind of hard to say for sure, but I guess on average, I probably get about 7 or 8 hours of sleep a day, something like that. Cos I’m normally in bed at about 11 ish, and I usually get up sometime around 7. So yeah, 7 to 8 hours is about the norm for me.2.Is it necessary to take a nap every day?No, I wouldn’t say it is. And also I think it kind of depends on the person, because some people do feel the need to have a nap to give them energy for the rest of the day, but for others, like myself, we can quite easily get through the day without taking a nap.3. Do old people sleep a lot?It’s pretty hard to generalize, but on the whole, I wouldn’t really say so, no, because I mean, if I think about the elderly people I know, they’re normally up pretty early each day. And I mean, they might take a nap at some stage during the day, but I wouldn’t consider that to be sleeping a lot!4.How can one sleep well?I’d say it kind of differs between people, because what works well for one person might not work well for another. But by and large I’d say most people sleep well when it’s quiet around them. And I think it helps too if you’ve had a fulfilling day. Because I mean, for me, I always tend to sleep better if I’ve done a lot that day, like doing exercise and stuff.5. Do you like to get up early in the morning?If no:No, not particularly! I’m not really a morning person, and if I do get up early, I always feel extremely groggy, and it takes me a while to feel fully awake. So yeah, I’m not at my best first thing in the morning!If yes:Yeah I do actually. You know, it feels quite good getting up early while everyone else is still sleeping. Sometimes I might find it difficult dragging myself out of bed, but once I’m up, I feel pretty good, and it means I can get more things done that day.6. Can you sleep well if you’re in a noisy environment?No, definitely not! I find it very difficult getting to sleep if there’s lots of noise around me, which I guess is the same for most people.Part 1: Trees1.Do you like trees?Yeah, I do. And uh, I don’t really think there’s anything not to like about them! You know, they look nice, they add more colour to a place, um… so yeah I think trees are great!2. Are there any important trees in your country?Important trees?! Um… I’m really not sure to be honest! I mean, there probably are some, yeah, but I’m not aware of any! Um… Actually, hang on a sec – I’vejust thought of one kind of tree, and that’s bamboo, which I’d say is pretty important here in China, first of all, because a lot of stuff’s made out of bamboo here, like chopsticks for example, and also because it’s closely tied to Chinese culture. For instance, bamboo appears quite a lot in Chinese art. So um, yeah, I’d say bamboo is probably the most important kind of tree here.3. Is there a forest near your hometown?Yeah I suppose there is, because there’s quite a lot of natural scenery surrounding our city, much of which is covered with trees.If no:No there isn’t, at least not that I’m aware of. It’s mainly just farmland and small towns and villages around my hometown.4. Where can one find trees in your country?All over the place! For example in the cities, you can find them in parks, and also a lot of the streets are lined with trees. But I guess to find the most trees, you have to venture out of the urban areas into the countryside, especially the hills and mountains, because these are the places which are still in their natural state, and you’ll find that many of the mountainous areas are covered with trees.5. Do you think places with trees attract more visitors than places with few trees?I guess it depends why the visitor is going to a certain place. So for instance, if they’re going to enjoy the natural environment and scenery, then yeah, I think having trees will obviously attract more visitors. But if the visitors are going for a different reason, for example to a famous tourist attraction or something, then I think trees aren’t really gonna have any impact on the number of visitors. You know, they don’t even enter the equation! So it’s kind of hard to generalize.6.Did you ever climb trees when you were a child?Yeah I did. I had great fun climbing trees when I was little. I really enjoyed it, and I even remember when my mum took me to buy new shoes, I always chose ones with the best grip, because they would be the best for climbing trees in. So yeah, it was something I really enjoyed doing.7. Have you ever planted a tree?No, I can’t say that I have! First of all, I don’t think it’s that easy to do, cos you’ve got to find somewhere that sells tree seeds, and then you’ve got to find a suitable place to plant one. So yeah, it’s not something I’ve ever done before.8.Do you think more people should plant trees?Yeah, I think more people should. At least in theory it sounds like a good idea, although I don’t know how well it would actually work in practice. Cos I mean, you can’t just go around planting trees anywhere! You know, there needs to be a certain amount of planning. So it might be better to give this responsibility to just a limited number of people who knew what they were doing.9. Do you think trees are important?Yeah, I’d say they definitely are. I mean, first of all, if I’m not mistaken, they help make the air cleaner. I can’t remember the name of the actual process, but they’re basically able to convert CO2 into oxygen, which we all need to breathe.。

(完整版)雅思口语Part1参考答案大全
Advertisement广告1. Do you like advertisements on TV?Oh no, TV is a purgatory. The TV advertisements today appear to be not only boring but also disturbing. They interrupt in the midst of our enjoyment of a game or a film. Most of the advertisement materials are irritating and of course of low taste. The presentation is mostly awkward and obscene.绝不,电视简直就是炼狱。
现在电视上的广告变得不仅仅是无聊了,而且还特别烦人。
这些广告往往在我们欣赏比赛或电影时候的中间跳进来。
大多数广告特别让人愤怒,当然品味还很低。
这些广告的描述又傻又低俗。
2. What kind of advertisement do you like the most?Word of mouth is hands down the BEST advertising. It's one of the most credible forms of advertising because every time people make a recommendation, they have nothing to gain but the appreciation of those who are listening.口碑绝对是最好的广告。
这是最可信的广告方式之一,因为每当人们对一个产品做出评价时,他们除了能得到听者的感谢外,得不到任何其他好处。
3. Why do you think there are so many advertisements now?Whether you do like them or not, whenever and wherever it's possible that you can meet them. For biz sellers, ad could be very helpful to promote their products. For acceptors, ads might show some latest information. To buy or not to buy, to be fond of or not, all depend on your decisions.无论你是否喜欢广告,你都有可能随时随地遇到它们。

Let's talk about your hometown or village. What kind of place is it? My hometown is a small place, just outside of Beijing. It takes about an hour to reach/get to there. The people there are mostly farmers, but a lot of the young people work in Beijing. It's a quiet place and I like it.6. Could you tell me something about your hometown?a. Well, it's quite big and it's the capital of Shanxi province. The population's about 6 million and it's famous for its historic sites, especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi' an used to be the capital of China, and it's the beginning of the famous Silk Road.b. Okay. Well, my hometown is Beijing and I live just outside of it near the 4th ring road. As you probably know, Beijing's the political and cultural center of China, and it's quite a historical place as well. It's huge-about 12 or 13 million people live in it now-and it seems to be getting bigger every year.7. What kind of landscape surrounds your hometown?a. Harbin's right near the Song Hua Jiang River and it's kind of in a flat area, with mountains in the distance.b. Indio's a coastal city near the sea, so the main landscapes are the beaches and bays. There are also some nice hills nearby.8. What are the main tourist attractions in your hometown?There's the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. These are the two that are most well known. They are also symbols of China. They attract most visitors, but there are quite a lot of other famous sites as well.9. What are the people like in your hometown?They're usually very friendly, but a bit conservative. People still hold onto a lot of old customs and traditions, which is what I mean by conservative. But I think people there are very hospitable and kind. If you ask someone for directions, they'll always try to help you out, or find someone else who can.10. What places in your hometown do you like best and tell me why?I like the Temple of Heaven best because it's very beautiful. It has a lot of space and there are lots of really nice and old trees there. In the early morning, it's very peaceful. The older people practice their Tai-ji, while the younger children just run around and play. I like it there a lot.11. What places in your hometown might a visitor be interested to visit, and tell me why?I'd recommend the Great Wall, Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City. Those are the most famous places in the city, and I think they best represent Beijing.12. Do you like your hometown, and tell me why or why not?a. Yes. Although it may not have as many opportunities, I think my hometown is a warmhearted place and the people are not as selfish as they are in some of the bigger cities.b. To be frank, I don't really like my hometown that much. I mean, perhaps there are many people who are happy to live there, but I find that the pollution problem is just too bad, and to me it doesn't seem like a good place to raise a family.13. Do you think your hometown is a good place for a young person to live?a. Yes I do, because it's got a lot of opportunities and the entertainment facilities are quite good. You can get a decent job here if you have some skills, and you can make a lot of good friends if you have a good personality.b. No, I think if you're young you'd be better off going to a bigger city with more opportunities. I think my hometown is more suitable for an older crowd, who enjoy a more peaceful life. Younger people get bored with the way things are here.14. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in your hometown?I think the biggest advantage is that it's a place where you can find a good job with a good salary, if you try very hard. Also, the people are quite kind and generous. The main disadvantages are the traffic and pollution problems. If you stay in my hometown you will know that these are the two things that everyone here hates the most.Weather Questions15. What is the climate like in your hometown?It's generally very hot in the summer, like about 40 degrees Celsius. Inthe winter, it's cold about minus 14 degrees Celsius. The spring and autumn are both mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from around 12 to 25 degrees Celsius. Oh, and summertime is extremely humid as well.. There are four seasons. Winter is cold and snowy; spring is short and rainy; summer is hot and humid; and autumn is beautiful.16. What is the weather like in Beijing?In general, it's pretty dry. Winters are a bit cold. They are dry and windy, with a bit of snow. Spring is short and a bit windy. Summers are hot and a bit more humid, and temperatures can go as high as 30 degrees, so it can be kind of uncomfortable in the summer unless you have air conditioning. Fall is probably the best season-it's very comfortable-not windy, and not too cold or hot like the other seasons.17. How would you compare the climate in your hometown with other cities? Well there are definitely places that have a milder climate. My hometown's weather is a little bit uncomfortable for some people in the summer and winter. There are places where the weather is quite stable all year round. On the other hand, there are some places where the weather's even worse, like in Daqing.18. What're the advantages and disadvantages of the weather in your hometown?Advantages and disadvantages? That's a difficult question to answer, let me think for a second. Well, I guess the main advantage is that its dry, so we don't have to worry about too much rain, and the winters are not too cold like in some other places in northern China. The disadvantage is that it can get windy here, and when there is a sandstorm, well, that can be terrible to put up with.19. What's your favorite weather in your hometown?Actually, I've never thought about that. I guess it would have to be a sunny but not too hot day. It would be just a bit hot, like the kind of weather we get here in Beijing during autumn.Food questions20. What kind of food and dishes do people eat in your hometown?Most people in Changsha like spicy dishes because it's quite hot and humid there, so we need to eat a lot of chilies to help us adapt to the weather. Many people say that in all of China people in Changsha eat the spiciest food.21.What is the main food in China?Well, I'd say it's rice, but I think there are areas where rice is not that important. Each major area in China might eat rice in different quantities, but I think its still the biggest food and probably will always be the top one.22. In what ways has the diet of people in your country been changing? Well, we tend to eat more convenience foods now, especially fast food fromrestaurants like McDonalds and Chinese fast food places. Also, I'd guess we are now eating a lot of dishes regularly that we thought were big luxuries about 20 years ago.23. How has your diet changed?I don't think it has changed that much. I still eat the same things as I ate when I was a child. I guess the main change is that I have more time and money to go out for dinner.Festival Questions24. Tell me what's the biggest traditional festival in your country. Definitely the Spring Festival. I suppose it's somewhat like Christmas is in western countries. Spring Festival is the only time when all families gather together and stores and business are closed for several days.25. What do you do during the Spring Festival?I usually go back to my hometown and spend a week in my parents' home. We eat delicious food, visit family and friends, and watch TV. I also like to try and contact my high school friends and see how they're doing and what they're up to. We give each other presents and we buy ourselves new clothes to wear for the New Year.26. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country? National Day, which is on October 1st, is a big holiday. We get three days off and there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types of flowers decorating the city, and some of the larger cities hold parades.Changes Questions27. What changes have taken place in your hometown in the last 20 years? Well, I'm pretty young, but may parents always complain that my hometown's traffic is much worse, and they say that prices are a lot higher. But I think on the positive side, life is better, houses are in better condition and there are much better shops and cleaner conditions in the restaurants.28. Has your life changed in the last 10 years, and if so, in what ways?I think my life has changed. It's a bit more comfortable than it used to be, because my parents have more money than they used to have. I thinkI am a bit more responsible than I used to be, and am not quite as carefree.29. Is there anything you'd like to change in your life?Yes, my dependence upon my parents. Right now I'm quite dependent on them for money, so I hope I can be more independent in the future and one day be able to support them instead of their always supporting me.30. How different is your life from the lives of your parents?It's very different. I have had many more opportunities and a much more comfortable life than they had. I remember my father telling me stories about having just one egg to eat each week, and that was the highlight of his week. I can't really imagine life like that, so I'm grateful thatI have a better life than my parents dig. I appreciate their hard work to get us to this point in our lives.31. Has tourism changed China very much?Yes, very much in the last 10 years. Each year we are getting more tourists coming to China since the open door policy. People see more foreigners, and are used to the sight of them now. China is becoming more cosmopolitan, and people are getting to know more about the outside world.32. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?Yes, a lot. We used to have very few bus lines years ago. Most people would use their bikes to get to and from places in the city. But now in big cities there are more bus lines, so it's a lot more convenient. Some cities also have subway lines, and that makes things faster. There are also more taxis in cities, and more people are using them as a mode of transportation.Travels and Holiday Questions33. Do you enjoy traveling?Yes, very much. I've been to most of the major cities in China, and I've also traveled to Thailand and Singapore. I think the more I travel, the more I want to travel. I just like seeing how other people live, and it's really amazing to learn about different cu1tures-much more exciting than just reading about them in a textbook.34. What do you usually do in your holidays?During my holiday, I try to catch up with friends and go out together somewhere. That's the only time I can relax and do something I enjoy. Other than that, it's really difficult because I am always busy with my work, and sometimes I have to work overtime.35. Is there anywhere you would particularly like to visit on your holidays? Where and why?Yeah, I guess the best places to me are beaches. You see, I really like beaches because I just like watching the water come in and I love riding up and down the waves as they come into the shore. So places like Qingdao and Dalian are great places to me.Yes, I'd love to visit Xinjiang if I have a chance. Xinjiang is in the western part of China. The people there are mostly minorities, and I've seen the landscape in some pictures. It's incredible. If I travel to Xinjiang, I'll take a train so that I can see the landscape throughout the journey.36. Let's talk a little about traveling and transport. For a long trip, how do you prefer to travel?In my country, if it's a long trip, I prefer taking a train. Not only is it more economical, but also the time has shortened tremendously in the past few years. Air travel is more expensive, and I don't think its worth the extra cost.Transportation Questions37. Which type of transportation do you usually use in your hometown?I use the bicycle. It's fast and cheap and I can always trust it to get me places in the same amount of time.38. Which type of transportation do you prefer for traveling around? Trains are better because they don't encounter any traffic jams, whereas sometimes in the bus, we get struck in traffic. Also, it is always difficult to get on buses during peak hours, whereas with a train you havea better chance of getting a seat during peak hours.39. What's the traffic situation like in your hometown?It's quite bad now, and I think it's getting more and more serious. The big problems are too many cars and not enough space. I think that building more roads sometimes just adds to the problem because people just buy more cars.Accommodations Questions40. Tell me about the kind of accommodations you live in?In my country, I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my parents. The apartment's not big, but we've made it very comfortable to live in. We live on the third floor, and there's no lift in our apartment. The highest floor is the sixth floor, so whoever lives on the sixth floor has to climb up and down everyday.41. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the kind of housing you live in?Let me think. The biggest advantage? I guess it would be the convenience of it. I can do anything I want. As for the biggest disadvantage, some people might say the space, but I think the biggest disadvantage of living in a flat is that you never really get to know your neighbours.42. Which do you prefer, a flat or a house?Well, it depends on the condition that they are in. I'd probably have to say a flat, because you don't have to worry so much about maintaining it.43. Which floor do you live on, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of living on that floor?I live on the 1st floor. The advantage is that it's easier to get to, because you don't have to climb any steps. The bad thing is that it's a bit noisier, although we don't have to put up with too much noise from downstairs, since there is no downstairs!Family Questions44. Can you tell me something about your family?I have 3 brothers and no sisters. Both of my parents are still alive, and are still working.

What is your major?I major in Accounting, which is part of the School of Business at my university. I mainly study the international accounting system as it relates to foreign trade.49. Why did you choose your major?Because I've always enjoyed working with computers, and I was always good at math and logic. I was fortunate to have a computer in my home when I was in high school, and I spent quite a lot of time just playing around on the computer. My parents bought me all sorts of books on computer programming, and I just started to read them and pick up the ideas in them.50. How do you like your major?a. I enjoy it, actually. I didn't know that much about it before I studied it, but I'm glad I chose it because it suits me a lot. My father actually suggested that I major in Accounting, because he thought that I'd enjoy it, too.b. I don't like it at all. I wish I could switch to a different one, but it's next to impossible to change majors. I just hope that when I get a job, I won't have to do a lot of work related to my major.51. What do you like most about your studies?I just like learning the principles, and I like solving problems successfully. I also like getting to know my classmates, and working with them.52. Is there anything you don't like about your studies?Generally I like my subjects, but I hate the examination system. There are too many examinations, and most of the time we have to memorize lots of things in books. I'm not very good at that and I find it's a waste oftime and energy. Other than that, I quite enjoy my time at school. 53. How do you like your life in the People's University?A. I don't like it very much. The dormitory's very crowded, the food is tasteless and my teachers aren't very inspiring. When I was a high school student, I was looking forward to university life so much. I'm quite disappointed, because it's really not what I expected.B. I like it a lot. Sometimes it is a little hard to live in the university, but I have made many good friends and I enjoy my major. It was hard at first to live apart from my parents, but I think that it has been a good change for me. I am much more independent and more able to deal with troubles on my own. My courses are mostly interesting too, so I'm glad that I chose the major I did.54. What do you think of the training you got in the university?a. I think most of my courses will be helpful in the future. My university has tried very hard to keep up to date with the latest developments in our field. There were some compulsory classes that I didn't like, such as politics and history, but overall, I think I was provided with a pretty good education. I don't think it's possible to learn everything you need to know in a future career, but I'm satisfied my courses have given mea good start.b. I don't think it was very good. There were some compulsory classes that I had no interest in. Also, our facilities were not very modern, so there were many things we couldn't do.55. How was your high school experience?I had a good high school experience because I was at a good school, and I made so many good friends there. I think I was lucky to have good teachers I think my high school experience was not a happy one because I seemed to always be under a lot of pressure, and for some reason I always seemed to have bad luck. When I got to University my luck started to improve.Work Questions56. Where do you work?I work in the main office of Motorola. It's near the Lufthansa Centre, by the third ring road and Liangmahe road in Beijing. I've been there since 1985.57.

I love to watch the NBA on TV whenever I get a chance.I also play ping-pong and volleyball whenever I can.69.

So that's how I developed an interest in different sports.70. What do you do in your spare time?I like to play on the computer and surf the Internet.

Especially now that China has qualified for the World Cup, we've become quite crazy about football.84. What is the most popular sport in your country?I'd have to say that football's really the most popular sport in China. There are literally millions of crazy football fans.

What are the sports facilities like in your hometown?Beijing has a lot of modem indoor facilities offering bowling, tennis, swimming, and other things.

(完整版)雅思口语Part1参考答案大全
Advertisement广告1. Do you like advertisements on TV?Oh no, TV is a purgatory. The TV advertisements today appear to be not only boring but also disturbing. They interrupt in the midst of our enjoyment of a game or a film. Most of the advertisement materials are irritating and of course of low taste. The presentation is mostly awkward and obscene.绝不,电视简直就是炼狱。
现在电视上的广告变得不仅仅是无聊了,而且还特别烦人。
这些广告往往在我们欣赏比赛或电影时候的中间跳进来。
大多数广告特别让人愤怒,当然品味还很低。
这些广告的描述又傻又低俗。
2. What kind of advertisement do you like the most?Word of mouth is hands down the BEST advertising. It's one of the most credible forms of advertising because every time people make a recommendation, they have nothing to gain but the appreciation of those who are listening.口碑绝对是最好的广告。
这是最可信的广告方式之一,因为每当人们对一个产品做出评价时,他们除了能得到听者的感谢外,得不到任何其他好处。
3. Why do you think there are so many advertisements now?Whether you do like them or not, whenever and wherever it's possible that you can meet them. For biz sellers, ad could be very helpful to promote their products. For acceptors, ads might show some latest information. To buy or not to buy, to be fond of or not, all depend on your decisions.无论你是否喜欢广告,你都有可能随时随地遇到它们。
雅思口语part 1的参考答案
Part 1: Being in a hurry1. Do you usually write by hand or using a computer?Most of the time I use a computer because it’s far more practical(实用). I mean, for starters(首先), it’s a lot faster typing on the computer, and also it’s much easy to correct (修正)what you write, because if you’re writing by hand, you’ve got to cross something out (抹掉、画掉) or use tipp-ex(修正液), which can look a bit messy(凌乱的;不整洁的), especially if you make a lot of changes!2. When do children begin to write in your country?It’s kind of hard to generalize (有点难概括), because different children start at different times. You know, even though they’ll be formally taught how to write when they start kindergarten, most will be taught before that at home by their parents. So I’d say it’s probably between the age of about 2 and 3.3. How did you learn to write?I honestly can’t remember how I learnt it, but my guess would be that I learnt it from my parents, because children are definitely old enough to write before they start school, so I’m sure that either my mum or my dad taught me the basics (基础知识).4. Do you think handwriting is very important nowadays?No, on the whole (总体来说)I’d say it’s not that important nowadays, because I mean, who actually writes things by hand anymore? You know, it’s probably only important at school and taking academic exams, when you have to write by hand, but in the real world, I think it’s entirely unnecessary (没必要的).5. What impression does a person’s handwriting have on other people?Well I think if you have nice and neat(整洁的) handwriting, it leaves a pretty positive impression on others, as it kind of gives the sense that you care about appearance and pay attention to detail (关注细节), whereas if you have messy handwriting, it can have the opposite effect (相反的效果).6. Did your handwriting look good when you were younger?If yes:Yeah, I think it looked all right. You know, it was pretty neat and tidy, and I seem to remember taking pride in(为……感到骄傲) my writing. I suppose one of the reasons for this is that our teacher drilled into (叮嘱)us the importance of having good handwriting, so I used to practice it a lot!If no:No, I can’t say it did actually! I mean, my handwriting’s never been great, but when I was younger, it was particularly bad, you know, it was all over the place (really messy很乱)! For some reason, I just had a lot of difficulty with my writing.Part 1: Being in a hurry1. When was the last time you did something in a hurry?Um… when was it?...Let me have a think…I guess it was probably um… a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday, and I had booked a taxi to arrive at the place where I was staying, at about noon-ish, and I still had some clearing up to do(我还有东西要收拾), you know, I didn’t want to leave the place in a mess(很乱,杂乱). So yeah, I was basically in a hurry tidying everything up and getting all my things packed (打包成行李) before the taxi arrived.2. Do you like to finish things quickly?Yeah I do, cos I really don’t like things to hang over me(我讨厌让未做完的工作使我牵肠挂肚), you know, it’s just not a nice feeling when you’ve got stuff to do hanging at the back of your mind(同上).So I like to get stuff done as quickly as I can, but saying that, I still want to do it well of course! I mean, I’m not gonna do something haphazardly (做事很随意) just to get it done quickly, I still wanna make sure I do it well!3. What kinds of things do you never do in a hurry?It’s an interesting question!... I’ve never really thought about that one! What kinds of things will I never do in a hurry?...um… I suppose things I would never do in a hurry would be important things, like coursework which counts towards my final grade, a nd what else?...I’m kind of hard pressed tothink! Um… oh yeah, getting to the airport to catch a flight! You know, I’ll always give myself lots of time to get there, even if it means I arrive at the airport several hours in advance, cos it just gives me peace of mind.(让我内心平静。
