I’ve lost my way many times actually – I have a terrible sense of direction! But the one time that I remember when I got really stressed and worried was when I was with a friend in London. We had gone on a holiday together and we didn’t go out with our mobile phones so we couldn’t use GPS maps to help us. We went to see the Tower of London, which was a long walk from where we were staying, and on the way back we got completely lost, and then it started to rain. We managed to get a paper map from a friendly hotel receptionist, but the map was confusing and we got even more lost, especially as the map started to get soaking wet with all the rain. The English weather is really unpredictable. Eventually we gave up and hailed a taxi – taxis are really expensive in London as well, but anyway, eventually we got back to our hostel, showered and dried off. The thing I got nervous about was that London is quite big and we ended up getting lost in some areas that seemed a bit run-down and perhaps not very safe. You have to be very careful in big cities that you don’t know, because you don’t know which areas are safe or not to go wandering around in, especially when the sun sets and it gets dark. I felt a bit scared at times. Also when you get lost in a foreign country you feel more nervous because you don’t feel in control, you’re not on familiar territory, so getting lost can be a very unnerving experience. I was so relieved when we eventually got back to the hostel though. Next time I’m in a foreign country I will certainly make sure I have the international service on my phone open, and take my phone so I can use GPS maps!!

Part 3

1. Why do some people get lost more easily than others?

Some people, like my brother, as one example, have a great sense of direction – it’s as if they are born with it! Other people just can’t find their way around even familiar places without easily getting lost. I don’t really know why. I think it might be related to their notions of spatial awareness or how they find landmarks and compass directions in big cities or not. Others have a better awareness of how maps work, and can use online tools on their phones really well. Older people may have trouble with this modern technology.

2. Do you think it is important to do some preparation before you travel to new places?

Yes, I think before going to a new place it’s important to find out about the language, the culture and the general layout of a new city. Just so you have a basic idea of what lies ahead of you, what to expect and also what areas of the city are safe, as well as what behavior is appropriate or inappropriate in another country.

3. How can people find their way when they are lost?

The best way to find your way when lost if either use a mobile phone app or ask locals along the way to help you. In most places locals are pretty helpful if they see a stranger or a visitor who is lost, so I think it’s always a good idea to ask people for directions. Some people get nervous about asking others for directions. I’m not sure why. But it’s always a good idea to try to prepare in advance so that you know where you’re going and know how to get back to your hotel, or home. This way you can avoid getting lost as much as possible.

2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：长途汽车旅行

Describe a long car journey you went on.

You should say:

Where you went

What you did there

Who you went there with

And explain why you went on that journey by car

A long car journey that stands out most in my mind is a trip to inner Mongolia that I made with my elder brother and uncle a few years ago. We went from a city south of Beijing, all the way to the grasslands where my uncle has a friend. It was a great drive actually… when you get out of the city and down the main highways there are incredible views of the mountains, and then after a few hours they open out into large fields and grasslands on both sides of the road… the roads then get smaller, narrower and wind around hills and small valleys and out into the open again. It was fantastic and we took food with us – you know, some basic provisions to eat along the way. When we arrived we stayed in a traditional Mongolian yurt, we rode horses, we ate amazing barbecue lamb and we watched a man demonstrating how he tamed eagles and buzzards. It was a really educational trip in a way and it was wonderful to be somewhere with fresh air, open countryside and friendly people. The people are a different ethnic group to us, so that was also pretty interesting, as well as the fact that they speak a different language amongst themselves. It’s really fascinating to live in a country with such ethnic and cultural diversity. I enjoyed the trip a lot and would love to go back again. It’s more exciting to do a road trip than just travel somewhere by plane – you see the evolution of the country along the way and it feels more rewarding when you finally arrive at your destination.

Part 3

1. Why do people like to have private cars?

It gives them a sense of great independence. They feel they are in their own personal space rather than in a public place. And also because in China public transport is quite crowded so it’s not always a pleasant experience being in a bus or train with other people. In a car you can listen to your own music, carry more things and so on.

2. What’s difference between men and women’s preferences on cars?

Men seem really into cars more than women. They also seem more attracted to powerful cars, big cars, you know, cars that might make them look cool. But also, women seem to care a lot about cars in my country – they are a status symbol and a sign that the family are successful. So a lot of women seem to care about cars from this perspective too. Generally, I think men prefer and enjoy driving more than women though, and tend to like fast powerful cars more – they get a thrill from driving fast if they get the chance.

3. What will cars be like in the future?

Well, I’m absolutely certain that cars will be mainly electric in the near future, that’s for sure. Also there have been a lof of developments in automated driving – cars being able to drive without a driver – though this is still in the early stages. I’d like to think that cars will be able to fly, but I think this is not something we will see in the next few decades. Also I think, to be honest, there will be less cars and more advanced automated public transport, partially due to the need to reduce traffic congestion in cities and encourage a greener environment.
