雅思口語(yǔ)Part2答案:最喜歡的圖書(shū)館
The central city library in my locality is my favourite library. This is a library which is run and funded by cthe Government and local officials and is a renowned library in our city. This is more than 100 years old and has a very rich collection of books, journals, reference books, novels and other reading materials. This library has recently introduced some digital formation and gives the facility to read books in electronic devices. Almost 200 people go to this library everyday and it offers a really quiet and calm environment for reading.
This library offers many benefits and the most important thing is about a library is that it comprises books that are main source of knowledge. This library has more than 20,000 books and people can easily find a book that might interest them or the books they were looking for. Students come here to take reference for their study materials and to take notes, the literacy lovers come to read novels and stories by world renowned writers, the regular members can take books to their home and thus can read in their free time. Time spent in a library is a wise investment and I feel that the contribution of this library towards making a literate and conscious generation is unmatched.
I often go to the library to read books that are in my "must read" list. Besides, this is a good place to take notes and to read and I often go there for my study purpose. As I am a subscribed member of this library, I can take books to my house and I usually return those books in every 4-5 days to take a new one.
There are lots of famous libraries in my country and in the world that I heard about and yet this is the very library that helped me grow my interest on extra-curricular reading habit. I have read books from this library that have greatly helped me and because of that, I like this library more than any other library in the world. Furthermore, the environment of reading, the staff, the arrangement of books, the rich collection and my easy access to this library make it my most favourite library.

圖書(shū)館話題總體來(lái)說(shuō)難度不大,考生向考官描述完自己常去的圖書(shū)館后,在第三部分里會(huì)圍繞圖書(shū)館的作用和未來(lái)與其展開(kāi)討論。在“真題演練”部分native speaker描述的實(shí)際上是一個(gè)虛擬的圖書(shū)館(這一點(diǎn)從地址上可以看出來(lái)),語(yǔ)言平實(shí)易懂,舉的例子很有普遍性。在“話題相關(guān)材料”部分,大家可以看到對(duì)大英圖書(shū)館和紐約公共圖書(shū)館的介紹,相信從中能發(fā)現(xiàn)更為專業(yè)和漂亮的語(yǔ)言。
二、真題演練
Describe a library that you often go to.
You should say:
what library it is
where it is /what the library looks like
what you do there
and explain why you like this library.
點(diǎn)題 There is a library near to my home where I like to go. It is called the Peoples' Library.
地點(diǎn) It is located on First Avenue near Main Street. It is a very new building and has some beautiful urban sculpture standing on the grounds around it. The library has many floors. Each floor has different sections.
介紹 The firs time I went there I had to have a lot of help to find things but now I feel like it is my second home. When I go to the library I feel like I am leaving a lot of my worries and cares behind me, even if I have to go there to do some research or to study. I think that is because I know I can always find a quiet, private place where I can read or do my work. And sometimes if I want to travel to a different place or a different time, I can do that in the library by finding a book or something on the computer that will take me into another world.
活動(dòng) I am particularly interested in this library because it has a lot to offer. Besides having a good stock of books, it also provides office facilities such as a good copy machine, a book binder, many computers and printers, and much more. And it has very good service too. If you need a book in another library it will obtain that book for you by either shipping it from the other library or purchasing the book.
Part 3
Libraries
1. Do people in China often go to libraries?
I think people of all ages use the library. However I think students use the libraries more often than older people. I often see young children in the library but I think university students use the library the most frequently. In my opinion, the older generation use libraries the least. Some are too busy and others have no interest in books.
2. Even though it might cost a lot to maintain a library, do you think the government should open more public libraries?
On the one hand I think that it is very worthwhile to have plenty of libraries. On the other hand with the way technology is improving practically each day, it may be wiser to invest in making computers more accessible to more people. It is possible to go to a internet café and go online, but much of this time is spent on worthless computer games and watching movies. Establishing computer libraries and educating people how to use them beneficially might be s good idea.
3.Do you think public libraries should be free of charge?
It would be nice if libraries were free, but usually you have to pay a fee as well put down some kind of deposit. I don't think this is too unreasonable as people often do not appreciate things they get totally for free. If people know they can get their deposits back if they do not damage any books, then it makes them more careful. Of course the government should subsidize libraries so that the costs that people do have to pay are not exorbitant.
4.How do you think libraries will change in the future?
I can picture a future where computer technology will enable us to have easy access to all the resources a library provides. People may not even have to read. They can have the equipment needed to just listen to words being read to them. It may sound like fantasy, but with all the progress in technology I think it is very possible.
Improvement
5.What kind of skills do you think library staff should have?
I think library staff should always be very well informed as to where things are located in the library. This will enable them to help people to save time in finding what they need, which is a very big help in our busy times. I think they should be very courteous also as people who are using the library can often be under a lot of pressure and often need a lot of help. They may be under pressure because of an assignment they are working on or because they are unfamiliar with how the library works. Library staff should also be efficient and have organizational skills. They may have to take care of a lot of details and it would make things very difficult for those using the library if items were lost or difficult to find. Last but not least library staff should be patient. They may be faced with a myriad of requests each day and they will be unhappy and those using the library will be unhappy if the staff is frustrated, impolite or upset.
6. What can be done to make libraries more attractive?
I am interested in interior decorating and one thing I would recommend for libraries is to incorporate more neutral colors into the décor. I believe that nowadays libraries are decorated to use maximum space and reflect maximum light. Browns and other muted colors can create a warm atmosphere. Comfortable and attractive seats can also make the environment more inviting. Also I am in favor of having works of art in libraries. Not necessarily originals but good quality copies of famous artist's work are both attractive as well as educational.
7.How has internet affected and reduced the popularity of library that it used to possess?
Certainly the internet provides easy access to sources of information, although their validity should be suspect. However, there is nothing on the internet that replaces picking up an actual book and reading it. From my perspective, reading a book is a tactile experience which is perceptible to the sense of touch. Also books can be carried every where and read whenever you stop moving. Although I use the internet for a number of things, I have in my personal library about 3,000 reference books and I find things in them that I do not find on the internet. I augment this library with books from the library.

1.適用人群:全適用
2.主題:公共圖書(shū)館
3.故事線:貴陽(yáng)一座公共圖書(shū)館,建筑外觀很迷人,除了可以閱讀館藏書(shū),也可以付費(fèi)存放私人藏書(shū),是作者常去的地方。
Okay, there are just a few places that I know to be quiet. The reason is because nowadays there is just so much activity going on outside that it’s hard to find a place that is quiet. Anyway the place is the public library. This particular public library is located in the center of Guiyang near a McDonald's. Um-mm, the library was constructed seven years ago. And when it was finished it was a fascinating achievement. When talking about how often I go there I have to say that in recent years I’ve stopped going as often as I used to. When the library was new I probably showed up there once or twice a week. But, nowadays, I only get in there once or twice a month. But that’s because I’m busy with other things. When I go there I usually find a book that looks interesting. Then I take the book and sit myself down in a chair and begin reading. Well, finally I want to reveal the real reason I liked going there so much to begin with. So, the library has a rather cool feature where you are allowed to bring in your own books to read and if you are willing you can leave them there in a personal book shelf which you have to pay for of course. Actually I have so many books at home already so this service was very appealing to me. I still pay the monthly subscription to store my books there to this day. It's very cheap only 2 dollars per month. Anyway that's about it, should I mention anything else?

雅思口語(yǔ):換題前的提分攻略
攢錢(qián)
Save money
Have you ever saved money for something?
Do you save money now?
How do you save money?
Do you think saving money is very important?
Do you think parents should teach children to save money?
Do parents give children pocket money in China?
回答第一問(wèn)時(shí), 重點(diǎn)必然不在于something,不論你攢錢(qián)買(mǎi)的是iPhone, iPad, 還是娃娃,都不是考官所關(guān)心的。而關(guān)鍵在于回答的時(shí)態(tài),是學(xué)生們往往忽略掉的。比如問(wèn)你曾經(jīng)是否攢錢(qián)買(mǎi)過(guò)東西?買(mǎi)這個(gè)東西本身應(yīng)該是過(guò)去時(shí),那么請(qǐng)問(wèn)“我前年攢了一年的錢(qián),然后我去年買(mǎi)了個(gè)包”這個(gè)攢錢(qián)的過(guò)程應(yīng)該是什么時(shí)態(tài)?
沒(méi)錯(cuò),過(guò)去完成時(shí)的使用也是很多學(xué)生在瞬間很難反應(yīng)出來(lái)的。
you should say: “ Yes, of course. i remember that i had saved my pocket money for ages, then i bought it last years ....”
對(duì)于第二個(gè)問(wèn)題是否喜歡攢錢(qián),我們也完全可以說(shuō)一些 (white lies) because you don’t have to tell the truth, 不必說(shuō)“我從來(lái)不攢錢(qián),because i am very very rich, hahahahaha....” 其實(shí)這一問(wèn)的核心在于How? 我們應(yīng)該盡量從這個(gè)角度出發(fā)去展開(kāi),但請(qǐng)大家的理由應(yīng)該務(wù)必合理,之前就有學(xué)生編出“從來(lái)不吃飯,為了攢錢(qián),走路不坐公交車(chē),為了攢錢(qián),即使坐公交車(chē)也投假幣,為了攢錢(qián)?!?/p>
其實(shí)理由很多甚至完全可以延伸到自己擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域,比如擅長(zhǎng)cooking的話題,可以說(shuō)“i'd like to save money by cooking at home and eating food at home instead of eating out...”
地圖
Map
Do you often use map?
Who taught you how to use a map?
Do you prefer electronic maps or paper maps?
對(duì)于地圖這個(gè)話題,其實(shí)在幾年前就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在雅思口語(yǔ)考試中了,建議大家紙質(zhì)和電子地圖的優(yōu)點(diǎn)都準(zhǔn)備一些,以防萬(wàn)一。
被考官問(wèn)道“why do many people in China like to use another one?”對(duì)于這個(gè)話題可以說(shuō)的點(diǎn)非常多,不要僅僅給出一個(gè)評(píng)價(jià)性的詞匯“useful or convenient”,如電子地圖的實(shí)時(shí)性“being updated all the time”和導(dǎo)航出最優(yōu)路線“preferred route”。至于紙質(zhì)地圖大家也盡量回到生活中brainstorming一下,在旅游中手機(jī)low battery,no signal的時(shí)候是不是我們?nèi)考堎|(zhì)地圖。
除此之外,讓我更懷念曾經(jīng)在留學(xué)期間旅游時(shí),手機(jī)還沒(méi)那么發(fā)達(dá),Google map也沒(méi)那么普遍,往往是一個(gè)人開(kāi)車(chē)一個(gè)人看地圖,難免會(huì)make mistakes,按理說(shuō)這本應(yīng)該是個(gè)缺點(diǎn),但每一次的走錯(cuò)都會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)意外的地方,一場(chǎng)意外的驚喜(a serendipitous discovery)。
詞典
dictionary
Do you ofen use a dictionary?
Do you prefer to use an electronic dictionary or a dictionary made of paper?
If someone gave you a dictionary as a gift,how would you feel?
Do you think it would be interesting to write a dictionary?
Do you think it would be interesting to be part of a team that is writing a dictionary?
What kind of person do you think writes a dictionary?
詞典話題的答題思路和地圖有很多相似點(diǎn),比如紙質(zhì)詞典和電子詞典的比較,同樣我們不要用套路式的一句電子詞典非常convenient,i use it every day.來(lái)草草了事,盡量可以展開(kāi)和細(xì)化使用的過(guò)程。
比如“when i come across a word that i can't figure out,all i need to do is just click on the app,and type in the word i wish to look up…”
另外關(guān)于編寫(xiě)詞典的人的問(wèn)題,最好的參考資料就是我們雅思劍橋真題中那篇閱讀文章《Johnson's dictionary》。
睡覺(jué)
Sleep
How many hours a day do you sleep?
Do you often go to sleep quite late?
Did you often go to bed very late when you were a child?
Do you think sleeping is important?
當(dāng)很多同學(xué)聽(tīng)到睡覺(jué)這個(gè)話題時(shí)感覺(jué)除了時(shí)間以外沒(méi)什么說(shuō)的, 首先考官不是您的太醫(yī),不想知道到底幾個(gè)小時(shí),也不需要把什么insomnia這種疾病詞匯往上招呼,更重要的是積累一些與睡眠相關(guān)的口語(yǔ)表達(dá) “stay up so late, stay overnight” 并且適當(dāng)擴(kuò)充熬夜的原因,不要來(lái)不來(lái)就“我每天都熬夜學(xué)習(xí),而且學(xué)的還是雅思...” 這么正能量的答案也不一定就能打動(dòng)考官。
每天躺在床上我們有時(shí)可能會(huì)來(lái)回翻滾,應(yīng)該叫輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè) toss and turn for quite a while, 或者聽(tīng)一些 light music 或者敷一個(gè)面膜(mask)來(lái)幫助睡眠,這都是很好的答案和思路。
無(wú)聊
Being bored
What will you do when you feel bored?
When you were young,What would you do if you felt bored?
What kinds of things are boring to you?
Do you think young people get bored easily?
可能是因?yàn)樵蹅兇箨懙目忌疤矚g回答“i don't like my subject,music,film,sport…because they are通通boring”,今年特意來(lái)了一個(gè)Being bored的話題給大家。
首先注意less common words的替換,如“rather dull,monotonous,mind -numbing TV shows”都體現(xiàn)詞匯的多樣性。并且對(duì)于“what would you do if you felt bored”我們也可以盡量轉(zhuǎn)化到自己擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域來(lái)回答,比如“i find shopping very therapeutic”“when i am getting bored,there is nothing like karaoke therapy”,還有包括“i prefer to have a more relaxing time on the…”
明星
Celebrity
Who is your favourite celebrity in China?
Would you like to be a celebrity in the future?
In general, how do people become famous?
Do you think, to be famous, a person needs to have some special talent or ability?
Do you think we should protect famous people’s privacy?
其實(shí)對(duì)于明星類的話題,同學(xué)們應(yīng)該相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)不是很陌生了。
不論明星的優(yōu)點(diǎn)還是缺點(diǎn),都盡量去解釋細(xì)節(jié)化的原因,比如“想當(dāng)明星因?yàn)樗麄價(jià)ich, 那就要繼續(xù)解釋rich的原因可能是因?yàn)樽隽撕芏啻?a href='http://regraff.com/chuangyee/guanggao/' target='_blank'>廣告endorsement….”
反之,我們也盡量結(jié)合更多平時(shí)聽(tīng)到看到的真實(shí)的點(diǎn)來(lái)答,切忌不要現(xiàn)場(chǎng)瞎編,這種主動(dòng)去思考觀點(diǎn)的能力一直就是咱們學(xué)生的弱項(xiàng),比如當(dāng)明星的缺點(diǎn),十個(gè)人有九個(gè)都會(huì)說(shuō)no privacy, 然后就沒(méi)有然后了,我們應(yīng)該盡量去呈現(xiàn)“privacy”里面和背后的東西。比如明星經(jīng)常被各種事吐槽being criticised all the time, 長(zhǎng)得好看被罵整容cosmetic surgery, 衣冠不整being worst dressed 也會(huì)被抓拍。

Sports
Do you play any sport?
Do you like to watch sports on TV?
Do you have a favourite sports star?
What kinds of sports are popular in your country?
What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future?
運(yùn)動(dòng)類的話題已經(jīng)是老生常談了,在回答的時(shí)候我們可以從多個(gè)層次來(lái)說(shuō)。
第一是運(yùn)動(dòng)的種類,如team sport, individual sport, water sport, X-sport, 雖然最后一種在國(guó)內(nèi)不是非常的火,但是愛(ài)看Youtube的小伙伴們一定知道,國(guó)外很多極限運(yùn)動(dòng)愛(ài)好者an adrenalin junky(其中的adrenalin是腎上腺素的意思,在這里這個(gè)表達(dá)是一個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ),形容喜歡刺激活動(dòng)的人)。
第二是運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)身體的外在的好處,細(xì)化來(lái)說(shuō)比如塑形keep fit, 減掉小肚子lose my flabby belly, 練肌肉builds up muscles。
第三是運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)身體內(nèi)在的好處,如加快新陳代謝speed up metabolism, 增強(qiáng)免疫力improves immune system 等。
課余時(shí)間
Spare time
What do you usually do in your spare time?
Do you like to spend time with your family or friends?
What do you and your family like to do in free time?
這種話題屬于開(kāi)放性問(wèn)題,沒(méi)有太強(qiáng)的限定性,自由度很高,大家注意保持串聯(lián),比如和音樂(lè)類、運(yùn)動(dòng)類、購(gòu)物類話題都可以串聯(lián)。
外國(guó)食品
Food/Foreign Food
Have you ever tried foreign food?
Do you like to try new food?
What kinds of new food have you tried recently?
What kinds of foreign food are popular in your country?
Do you think old people like foreign food? Why?
既然要出國(guó),除了學(xué)語(yǔ)言,相應(yīng)的文化尤其是飲食文化我們還是需要知道一些的,你可以不愛(ài)吃但是不能不懂。
