雅思口語考試必問題:study的門道

考官了解你的姓名之后，緊接著會提問你是學(xué)生還是已經(jīng)工作Do you work or are you a student，今天先看study。

1. What major are you studying?

2. Why did you choose to study that subject?

3. What courses do you like and dislike? [why/why not]

4. Where do you study?

5. Why did you choose this school/university?

What major are you studying?

我們提到過，說出句子會比只說一個詞來得好，所以最好是說一個句子，比如：

My major is computer science.

I major in computer science.

I’m studying the major of computer science.

緊接著的問題必然是Why，你可以直接接著上面的答案說下去，喜不喜歡這個專業(yè)，為什么選這個專業(yè)等等，也有可能考官接話接的快些，緊接著就問你：

Why did you choose to study that subject?

條件反射地，你會用because開頭，這沒錯，符合邏輯，而且假如后面的理由陳述得好自然是沒問題的，比如：

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較單一，開頭的時候應(yīng)該給自己爭取一點(diǎn)時間，用“總起”的方式就可以辦到：

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

再加上理由，也很自然，而且能讓答案顯得更長。

總結(jié)一下回答這個問題的角度可以有：

1. 是否喜歡這個專業(yè)(是不是自己選的，還是父母家人建議的?)

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

It's my cup of tea 它是我喜愛的。

2. 專業(yè)內(nèi)容難不難，有趣嗎(還可以列舉課程)

easy, hard, difficult, challenging, interesting, boring

3. 日后發(fā)展怎么樣(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?

總起可以說：We have so many subjects, of course.

上次講過的舉例子(example)的方法在這里也可以使用，for example, for instance. 今天再說兩個，such as以及l(fā)ike，都能引出短語或者詞匯，不能加句子。

接著講：

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?

問地點(diǎn)，自然就是學(xué)校的name，location，還可以提一提現(xiàn)在幾年級，在那待了多久了，喜不喜歡這個學(xué)校，這些都是extra information額外信息。

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?

這個問題在申請學(xué)校寫Personal Statement的時候也要提及，比如名氣大，歷史悠久，教學(xué)質(zhì)量好，環(huán)境優(yōu)美，注重學(xué)生身心健康，涉及到人、地、事、時、物各個方面;

object—名氣大(good reputation)

time—?dú)v史悠久(long history)

place—環(huán)境優(yōu)美(beautiful campus surroundings)

event—教學(xué)質(zhì)量好(excellent education quality)

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

組織一下語言：

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.

雅思口語Part3話題范文: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 - 在另一極端

seemingly -看來似乎

bears no relation at all – 根本沒有關(guān)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 -到某個程度

But saying that – 但話又說回來

the feeling soon fades – 那個感覺一會兒就消失

bring about – 導(dǎo)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 - 也不過如此而已

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 – 教訓(xùn), 斥責(zé);訓(xùn)斥;訓(xùn)誡

in this way – 這樣做

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 -積極面對生活、對生活充滿熱情

look on the bright side of things - 對事物抱樂觀態(tài)度、從好的方面看

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 -中年危機(jī)

Having said all that though – 不過話雖然這么說

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 – 被別人欺負(fù) (一般指的比較嚴(yán)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 – 身體健康

Watch the world go by - 閑看人來人往

Whereas – 而

Take for granted – 認(rèn)為……是理所當(dāng)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 – 總的來說

calm demeanor -鎮(zhèn)靜的風(fēng)度

peace of mind – 心平氣和

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 - 回憶快樂

雅思口語Part2話題答案:not allowed to use your phone

關(guān)于這道貌似一句話就能解決問題的題目，一定要多描寫一下心理活動，把想用但不能用的糾結(jié)感覺和無助無聊的神態(tài)多多描述一番，多占點(diǎn)兒時間：

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.

語言點(diǎn)解析：

1. flight mode也可以叫airplane mode或者offline mode，就是我們常說的“飛行模式”。

2. Window seat就是靠窗的座位，餐廳靠窗的座位也可以這么說。

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. 所以我們說“欣賞美景”用這個就很合適了。再例如：He stood back to admire his handiwork. 或者I’ve just been admiring your new car.

4. 一般在描寫不讓用手機(jī)的時候，可能很多情況下需要用到“無聊”這個形容詞，我們不要只會說bored、boring，一定記得勤替換。例如可以用mind-numbing替換boring，用bored to death/tears或者bored out of my mind來替換bored.

雅思口語Part1話題解析:books

1. How often do you read?

表示頻率的問題算是話題中比較簡單，而且回答通常較短的問題了。大家只要掌握一些表示頻率的短語副詞就好，別忘了加入細(xì)節(jié)作支撐哦。你可以說只要有空閑時間就讀，讀書能讓你放松，讓你學(xué)習(xí)新的詞匯和知識等等。

詞匯補(bǔ)充：

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

學(xué)習(xí)新知識：acquire / gain knowledge

表示頻率：

經(jīng)常：usually-quite often-every now and then

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

每周幾次： once a week;every other day;once a week

斷斷續(xù)續(xù)：off and on

幾乎從來不：hardly ever;hardly/seldom

2. Do you have any books at home?

如果你還是學(xué)生，這道題對你來說就太有可聊的了，小說(fiction)，雜志(magazine)，漫畫(comics)也是書。美女們肯定會有時尚刊物，男生們總會有一些電腦或是籃球雜志對不對。

詞匯補(bǔ)充：

愛讀書的人：I’m a reading man / great reader / bookworm

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

不是特別多: few / not much / few and far between

時尚刊物：fashion periodicals

體育雜志：sports journals

3. Do Chinese people do enough reading?

4. Do Chinese people like to read?

我們可以分情況來說，畢竟有些人真的很愛讀書，但是也有部分人覺得讀書無聊，更喜歡看視頻或是聽音頻。總的來說讀過人讀書的數(shù)量確實(shí)要比西方國家少很多。

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?

這道題應(yīng)該是這里面最難說的，就連中文我們都不知道怎么說，喜歡與否完全取決于他們的個人興趣。還好雅思口語沒有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)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.
