雅思口语话题songDescribe a song that you remember from your childhood. You should say: when and where you learned it how you learned this song what the song is about and explain how you felt when you used to sing this song. 要描述好这个话题卡，考生必须要注意以下几个点： 1. 歌曲的名字不必须要太过执着。如果你真的听过，可以描述一个真实的外文儿歌，比如音乐之声里的DO-RE-MI，必定能和考官产生共鸣。如果你没有听过，随便编一个名字就可以了，因为名字并不是考官视察的点。这里我建议大家随意编个名字，毕竟描述考官知道的那些脍炙人口的儿歌，局限性太大，不利于我们自由发挥想象力。 2. 歌曲的内容可以是任何关于题材的，冒险、风光、游戏、家庭。大家可以自由发挥。 3. 要给考官重点描述一下这首歌当时或现在给你带来什么感觉。这里有很多可说的，比如： 使我高兴cheered me up，使我振作lift me up，重现童年美好时光brings back the good times，甚至至今都使我激动不已still thrills me today. 素材库 when and where you learned it? 1.

I remember sitting up in my room a few times listening to this song and crying. 素材库 what the song is about ? 1. Do-Re-Mi is a show tune from the musical The Sound of Music. Within the story, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the children who learn to sing for the first time. 2. The song is about the meeting of spirits. Its a very intimate lyric, very, very intimate. 3. It is a more hopeful song. The song is about leaving the big city for the countryside, going home again after a long time away. 4.

What can smartphones do these days? 思路： 智能手机在我们的生活中已经非经常见了，因此出现在雅思口语的话题当中也不够为奇，关于智能手机可以用来干些什么，其实我们只要略微梳理一下我们平常使用手机的习惯和目的，就可以很好地将这个回答整合出来了。在今天提供的示范答案中，激烈建议同学们依据自己的状况进行增减和改善。 同时，很多同学应该记得在part 2当中有一个非常高频的话题叫做describe a smartphone app，要求我们描述一个智能手机上的应用。这个题目继续了很长时间，但是同学们在回答本part 3的问题的时候，千万注意不要跑偏，可以略微带一带应用的内容，但是不可以把整个重心变成说某一个app;同时，虽然智能手机有很多高大上的功能，但是如果我一时半会儿想不起来怎么组织语言，那么从最基本的功能入手，略微讲解一下发短信(send text messages)或者是打 (make phone calls )，都是可以的。 示范答案： Well, smartphones are, after all, phones, so they can basically meet all the expectations we should have for ordinary mobile phones. That is to say, we can still use a smartphone to send text messages or make phone calls. However, smartphones are more than that. For example, we can use a wide range of smartphone applications, which have all kinds of functions, from offering discounts tohelping us keep fit. Besides, smartphones can always access internet, which means we can search literally for everything at anytime with smartphones. This sounded like science fiction in the past, but offers great convenience at present. 2. Since most people do their work on computers, why do they still need to go to the offices? 思路：这个题目是这样子的，它预设了一个场景，就是大多数人都使用电脑工作了，然后引出问题;如果这是一个其它考试当中的思辨类的写作题目，我个人会建议老老实实按照题设去写，但是关于我们雅思口语这样一个着重视察交流能力的项目，我们完全没有必要被题目所禁锢住。我们必须要确保自己的答案有逻辑、有落脚点、细致明确即可。我们尝试着按照下面的思路步骤来：首先即使大部分人都使用电脑工作了，那么极有可能他们有很多其它工作是必须要跟同事合作完成的、必须要面对面的解决的;即使没有必须要面对面解决的工作问题，办公室也提供了一个专门的工作场所，比在家里要专业、方便的多，并且关于部分人来说，家是一个放松的地方，并不合适拿来办公。最后，我们甚至可以破除题目本身的设置，摆出事实：就是确实已经有不少人能够做到远程办公，或者弹性工作时间了。这样一来，这个part 3的答案还是可以有不少内容说的。 示范答案： Well, I have to say, although computers can help us work out most problems, there are still many things, which need to be discussed face-to-face, so offices provide an ideal place for colleagues to meet and consult with each other. Besides, for some people, homes are very cozy and private places, not suitable for working, so they would rather commute to offices than bring work home, even though digital technologies have made remote workingavailable. Having said those, a trend of working from home as well as working flexible hours has become increasingly more popular. I think this should be attributed to the use of computer technology. 3. Do you think peoples work in the future will be heavily affected by the technology? 思路： 这个题目大家可以和交通，transport这个话题下的一个问题对比来看一看，为什么呢，因为从回答的角度来说，答案都存在一定的困惑 性。交通话题下的那个题目叫做：你认为交通还可以有被改善的地方吗?这种题目我们如果回答no，显得非常绝对，难道将来真的就没有改善空间了吗?难道将来工作就不会被技术影响了吗?如果回答yes呢，一时半会儿又想不到有哪些内容可以来支撑自己的观点，因此陷入两难的境地。这里特别提醒一下大家复习一下过去的题目内容。 回到这个题目上面来，我们同样可以套用当时的一个想法，就是老老实实地交代：我认为现在这种影响已经很多了，我想不出来将来还会有怎么样的影响。注意这里的重心应该是：我想不出来有什么样的影响，而不是决绝地说成不会有任何影响;同样，回答yes的时候应该快速的组织语言内容，争取有逻辑地排列 答案信息。针对这个题目，我们可以将现有的技术带来的影响进行深入描述。另外，这个题目有一个比较细节的修饰词，就是heavily，极大地。这个也是我们可以发挥的一个点。 示范答案： Well, since we are not unfamiliar with the great influences the technology has exerted on our current work, I guess most of us find it natural that technology should continue to affect our work in the future. However, its absurd that although we know that this would happen, we yet dont know how. In conclusion, I think I can simply say that there will still be amazing changes on work due to the development of technology; but we can hardly sense the change until it solidly comes true. 4. Compare the pace of technological progress in the past and now. 思路：首先是对pace这个词的理解，这个题目可以理解为比较过去和现在的技术发展的节奏，换言之，过去和现在都有技术的发展，只是步伐不同，节奏不同。千万不要简单地说成过去的东西和现在的东西的对比，比如如果我们说，过去没有笔记本电脑但是现在有了，那么可能后面很难把这个答案和pace联系起来。 建议大家，我们可以从自己最熟悉的内容入手，比如通讯科技，过去可能要好几年才干有一个新产品，但是现在的手机更新换代之快，我们往往来不及反应过来，自己的手机就out of date了，这样一想，关于pace的解读，其实就体现在一个快字上。现在的progress更快了。悟出来这个点，其实我们的答案就可以围绕这个快字展开了。 示范答案： Well, there have been technological changes all the time and it doesnt take a genius to find them. But speaking of the pace of the changes, I think it varies. Generally speaking, things are happening much faster now than it was in the past. For example, in the past, it took several years for one up-grade of telecommunication whereas now, replacement and reproduction of mobile phones can happen within several months. This can also be applied to most other aspects of technology development. 语言点补充： 和technology这个话题连用的单词，往往有invent, innovate, design, create以及produce等等。同时，plan, layout等词语往往也可以进行使用，包括blueprint一词，也是非常合适用在这里的。 第 10 页 共 10 页
