雅思口语考试必问题之study的门道

Because I like this major very much. Computer science is a little bit challenging but I’m good at it so I enjoy doing this subject. Also, I can get a decent job easily after I graduate from the university.

但如果你能想出的理由比较单一，开头的时候应该给自己争取一点时间，用“总起”的方式就可以办到：

There are many reasons why I choose computer science as a major.

再加上理由，也很自然，而且能让答案显得更长。

总结一下回答这个问题的角度可以有：

1. 是否喜欢这个专业(是不是自己选的，还是父母家人建议的?)

like/enjoy, dislike/don't like/hate

It's my cup of tea 它是我喜爱的。

2. 专业内容难不难，有趣吗(还可以列举课程)

easy, hard, difficult, challenging, interesting, boring

3. 日后发展怎么样(找工作，深造可行性)

find a decent job, do further study, go to study abroad

What courses do you like and dislike?

总起可以说：We have so many subjects, of course.

上次讲过的举例子(example)的方法在这里也可以使用，for example, for instance. 今天再说两个，such as以及like，都能引出短语或者词汇，不能加句子。

接着讲：

I like some of the courses such as Academic Writing and Theory of Software Engineering because I can learn a lot in these courses and the professors are very nice and supportive. However, I hate doing courses like Introduction to Technology because the lectures are so boring.

Where do you study?

问地点，自然就是学校的name，location，还可以提一提现在几年级，在那待了多久了，喜不喜欢这个学校，这些都是extra information额外信息。

I'm studying in Nanjing University and I’m in the new campus on the outskirts of the city. I have been studying there for two years and I like this university very much.

Why did you choose this school/university?

这个问题在申请学校写Personal Statement的时候也要提及，比如名气大，历史悠久，教学质量好，环境优美，注重学生身心健康，涉及到人、地、事、时、物各个方面;

object—名气大(good reputation)

time—历史悠久(long history)

place—环境优美(beautiful campus surroundings)

event—教学质量好(excellent education quality)

people—重学生身心健康(pay attention to the wellbeing of their students)

组织一下语言：

I choose it because of many reasons. The main reason is that it has a good reputation and long history. Also the campus surroundings are beautiful and pleasant. I’ve heard that its education quality is excellent while at the same time it pays much attention to the wellbeing of all the students. So I think it’s a good university.

雅思口语Part3话题范文:person/something that made you laugh

1. Do you think people were happier in the past than they are now?

No I don’t actually. I’d say people are generally happier now, the main reason being that our standards of living have improved considerably from the past. I mean, for one thing, we now have a lot more freedom in choosing to lead our lives how we want, which wasn’t really the case in the past.

2. What are some things that make you happy?

Let me have a little think…um… well, first of all, what always makes me happy is seeing my friends and family happy, which I suppose is probably the same for everyone. And as well as that, I’d say justdoing the things I enjoy always puts me in a happy mood, you know, like playing the piano, and going to KTV with my friends.

3. Do you think people who have more talent are happier than others?

No I wouldn’t say they are. I mean, there are countless examples of famous singers and actors who were extremely talented, but for some reason turned to things like drugs or alcohol in order to escape the depression they felt. And on the other end of the scale, there are people with seemingly very little talent, but who are very happy and content with their life. So for me I’d say happiness bears no relation at all to the amount of talent a person has.

on the other end of the scale - 在另一极端

seemingly -看来似乎

bears no relation at all – 根本没有关系 (you can also say, “…bears little relation to…)

4. Do you think money makes people happy?

Yeah, I suppose it does. You know, I think it’s fair to say that money makes us all feel happy to some degree, because you can do so much with it, like buy new clothes or go on holiday or whatever. But saying that, I’d say it’s only a kind of short-term happiness that we get from money, because the feeling soon fades, as I’m sure you’ll agree! So I think if we want to enjoy long-term happiness, then it’s really other things that bring about it, like appreciating what we already have in life.

To some degree -到某个程度

But saying that – 但话又说回来

the feeling soon fades – 那个感觉一会儿就消失

bring about – 导致

appreciating – 感激

5. Are the things that make people happy today the same as several decades ago?

I guess the answer would have to be yes and no. Yes, because there are things like helping others which have always made people feel happy and will always continue to do so. And no, because people nowadays have generally become more materialistic, which is a reflection of the society we now live in. So a lot of happiness now comes from acquiring material goods and possessions, like houses and cars, which wasn’t so much the case several decades ago.

6. Why do people feel happy when they are with members of their family?

Well I suppose the reason is simply that our family are people we love and feel close to, so it’s natural that being with them will make us feel happy. I guess that’s all there is to it!

that’s (really) all there is to it - 也不过如此而已

7. In general, what do you think makes a happy family?

That’s a good question, and thinking about it, I would say it’s basically just showing love, support and appreciation to one another. So in other words, I think it’s not enough for us to just love our family members, but also show it, and by doing this we will be able to create happiness within the family. For example, you know, if a child does badly in a school exam, their parents should encourage and support them, as opposed to telling them off, and if they do well or win a prize, then their parents should show how proud they are. And in this way, I think the family will definitely be a happy one!

as opposed to – 而不……

tell off – 教训, 斥责;训斥;训诫

in this way – 这样做

8. What kind of people do you think are most likely to be happy?

I guess it’s probably people who have a positive outlook on life, because they always tend to look on the bright side of things. So for instance, if they come across problems, they’ll probably see them as challenges rather than problems.

Have a positive outlook on life -积极面对生活、对生活充满热情

look on the bright side of things - 对事物抱乐观态度、从好的方面看

9. Do you think there is any relationship between a person's age and their happiness?

Yeah, I’d say there probably is, because for example, most young children seem to be very happy most of the time, one of the reasons being that they’re blissfully unaware of all the pressures of modern-day life. And for a lot of adults, the pressure they face can be overwhelming, which naturally has an effect on their mental well-being, and can lead to a mid-life crisis. Having said all that though, I think it’s very possible to go through one’s whole life being happy if you live it in the right way.

blissfully unaware – 幸福地不知道

Mid-life crisis -中年危机

Having said all that though – 不过话虽然这么说

10. Some people say the happiest time in people's lives is the period when they are at school? Do you agree?

No I don’t, I’d say it’s too big a generalization. I mean, of course, it might be the happiest time for some, but not for everyone. You know, we all have different experiences of our time at school, and for a lot of people it probably wasn’t that enjoyable, because they might have been bullied for example.

Generalization – 概括

Be bullied by someone – 被别人欺负 (一般指的比较严重的起伏)

11. Do young people and old(er) people find happiness from the same things?

No, I’d say there’s probably a slight difference. Because I mean, older people seem to find happiness from the simple things in life, such as playing a game of chess or simply sitting outside their homeswatching the world go by, whereas I think it’s fair to say that young people often need a bit of excitement in their lives to feel happy. So that’s one thing, and what else…um… oh yeah, I’d say being in good health is another thing that makes elderly people feel happy, whereas a lot of young peoplekind of just take it for granted.

Being in good health – 身体健康

Watch the world go by - 闲看人来人往

Whereas – 而

Take for granted – 认为……是理所当然的

12. Do you think old people are very happy?

Yes, I’d say on the whole they are, because I mean, the feeling I get whenever I’m with them is that they have a calm demeanor about them, which I think reflects a kind of peace of mind. You know, it’s as if they’ve learned to accept everything they’re faced with in the world, and as a result, I think this generally gives them a feeling of happiness.

on the whole – 总的来说

calm demeanor -镇静的风度

peace of mind – 心平气和

13. When you are old(er), what kinds of things do you think will bring you happiness?

I imagine it will be things like spending time with my family, seeing my grandchildren grow up, and looking at old photographs, which will help me reflect on all the happy memories from my life.

Reflect on happy memories - 回忆快乐

雅思口语Part2话题答案:not allowed to use your phone

关于这道貌似一句话就能解决问题的题目，一定要多描写一下心理活动，把想用但不能用的纠结感觉和无助无聊的神态多多描述一番，多占点儿时间：

I’d like to talk about the experience I had on a plane when I was travelling to Hainan, which is the southernmost part of China. It was a long flight that lasted for almost 5 hours. I felt really bored when I was on the plane, but we all know that we are not allowed to use the phone when we are up there, not even if the phone is on flight mode. Luckily I got a window seat, so I could look out of the window and admire the views from time to time. However, the view could become less appealing when you spent hours looking at it. The only thing I could do is to read the magazines they offered on the plane, but I’m a fast reader, it only took me half an hour to finish the whole magazine, and I have to say, it was not entertaining at all. And it made me kind of sleepy, so I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I found out it would still take an hour before we could land. So… well, I’m not proud of what I did next, but I was bored to death. So despite the rule, I took out my phone, and started to play video games.Unfortunately, one of the flight attendants noticed what I was doing, and she stopped me immediately.She asked me politely to turn off my phone. So I went back to my nap, ‘cause there was nothing else left for me to do.

Although it was a 5-hour journey, I felt as if it took me a whole day. I just can’t imagine how I survived the long flight without my phone.

语言点解析：

1. flight mode也可以叫airplane mode或者offline mode，就是我们常说的“飞行模式”。

2. Window seat就是靠窗的座位，餐厅靠窗的座位也可以这么说。

3. Admire后面除了可以接人，也可以用于表示to look at something and think that it is attractive and/or impressive. 所以我们说“欣赏美景”用这个就很合适了。再例如：He stood back to admire his handiwork. 或者I’ve just been admiring your new car.

4. 一般在描写不让用手机的时候，可能很多情况下需要用到“无聊”这个形容词，我们不要只会说bored、boring，一定记得勤替换。例如可以用mind-numbing替换boring，用bored to death/tears或者bored out of my mind来替换bored.

雅思口语Part1话题解析:books

1. How often do you read?

表示频率的问题算是话题中比较简单，而且回答通常较短的问题了。大家只要掌握一些表示频率的短语副词就好，别忘了加入细节作支撑哦。你可以说只要有空闲时间就读，读书能让你放松，让你学习新的词汇和知识等等。

词汇补充：

让人放松: loosen up / make someone at ease / cool down

学习新知识：acquire / gain knowledge

表示频率：

经常：usually-quite often-every now and then

有时：sometimes;at times;occasionally;now and then

每周几次： once a week;every other day;once a week

断断续续：off and on

几乎从来不：hardly ever;hardly/seldom

2. Do you have any books at home?

如果你还是学生，这道题对你来说就太有可聊的了，小说(fiction)，杂志(magazine)，漫画(comics)也是书。美女们肯定会有时尚刊物，男生们总会有一些电脑或是篮球杂志对不对。

词汇补充：

爱读书的人：I’m a reading man / great reader / bookworm

很多: a great many / a number of / plenty of

不是特别多: few / not much / few and far between

时尚刊物：fashion periodicals

体育杂志：sports journals

3. Do Chinese people do enough reading?

4. Do Chinese people like to read?

我们可以分情况来说，毕竟有些人真的很爱读书，但是也有部分人觉得读书无聊，更喜欢看视频或是听音频。总的来说读过人读书的数量确实要比西方国家少很多。

Generally speaking，compared with western countries, the number of Chinese who do reading is far from satisfactory. Even a small percentage of people really love reading, the majority have less intention on it. I mean, they like radio or video better.

5. What kind of people like reading and what kind of people don't like reading very much?

这道题应该是这里面最难说的，就连中文我们都不知道怎么说，喜欢与否完全取决于他们的个人兴趣。还好雅思口语没有标准答案，只要你能表述清楚自己的想法就好。

Well，it is really a tough question for me. Please give me a second to organize my words. En, I don’t think there is a clear criterion to classify who likes reading and who doesn't. In my eyes, it’s all up to their willing and interest.
