雅思口语话题家具

Describe a piece of furniture.
You should say:
What it is
Where it is
What it looks like (or what it is made of)
And explain how or why you use it
解析：
题目要求描述一件家具，说明类型、摆放位置、外观、材质，并且说明如何应用该家具或用该家具的理由。
Well, the furniture in my home could be generally divided into two kinds: those bought from the mall directly and those customized; those of purely utilitarian purposes and those for beautification reasons only. And the furniture I am going to talk about is for utilitarian purpose and it was bought from a furniture shop, and that furniture is my wardrobe It is now placed in my bedroom. The wardrobe is big and it has five drawers. I bought it 3 or 4 years ago. Generally my father was in charge of the purchase of furniture. But I really wanted to have a piece of furniture picked by my own, so he took me to the furniture shop. I liked the wardrobe since the first minute I saw it. It was very handy and I liked its colorwhite. It is made of wood, which I think is very healthy.
I consider this piece of furniture very useful for me. It is a very good-looking piece of furniture that matches with the design and the colour of other furniture in the room as well. If I had not owned this furniture it would have been very difficult to keep my clothes arranged, valuable document secured. I have placed a vase on the top of drawer and it makes my room more charming.
3雅思口语Colors话题

1 Whats your favorite color?
解析：part1问到的都是与我们生活相关的话题但这并不是说考官对我们的生活感兴趣，而是要考查我们是不是能够熟练运用〔英语〕来谈论这些熟悉的话题。所以，我们喜爱什么颜色不是重点，甚至我们有没有一个最喜爱的颜色都不重要，所以必须要提醒同学的是，我们不必须要在这个颜色本身的词汇上做太多文章。真正的重点在于表现我们的相关语言。首先，我们可以通过细节、举例、原因、结果的方式，扩大我们的答案，答得更多，且内容相关相连，提升我们的流利度和连贯性，让内容变得丰富，而且这样也可以引出更多的相关词汇，并且让我们在表达过程中能表现不同的语法现象和句型结构，从而得到更好的分数。不过，在讲原因的时候不要说喜爱红色是因为象征中国、象征革命，不要说看到蓝色就能平静下来，这样的理由用中文说出来都会显得太不自然，太"作'。

语料：red one of the brightest colors passion put me in a good mood clothes vivid go well with look great in
blue light blue match my skin sportswear look pretty on me
dont know care much about dark colors black doesnt show the dirt... hate doing the laundry
参照答案1：
I would say I like red the best, mostly because its one of the brightest color and represents passion or something. Anyway, it seems that the vivid color can usually put me in a good mood. I guess thats why I love wearing red clothes. And of course, red goes well with my skin.
参照答案2：
I dont know Im not sure, really. Actually I never care much about colors of my clothes. If I had to choose one, I guess I would probably go for the dark colors, something like black or dark grey, because you know, they dont show the dirt easily. To tell you the truth, I really hate doing the laundry.
2 Are there any colors you dont like?
解析：相对喜爱的颜色来说，这一题不是那么简单，所以完全可以答得模糊一些，就像你生活中碰到有人问你这个问题一样，可以边答边想，这样也是最自然的。同样的，关键不在于我们对颜色的选择，而在于我们语言的扩大，以及针对四个评分标准来表现我们的语言能力。关于不太好描述的颜色，不要急于查字典去找到准确的词，而是尽可能尝试用语言去描述，去解释，这样的paraphrase能力是让我们的词汇分数上到7分的有利证据。
语料： pink pinkish red cant bear it girly wont even touch it put up with
something between lighter/darker mixture of look like similar to old-fashioned out of style never dress myself in
参照答案1：
Colors I dont like let me see. Ive never thought about that before, but .. I suppose I would never put up with pink, or any pinkish red. I just cant bear it because its too girly. You know, if I had anything in that color, either a piece of clothing or a daily item, I guess I would never touch it.
参照答案2：
Well, I dont think there is a color that I really hate, but I dont appreciate the color how can I put it its something between light brown and dark yellow. It looks like a mixture of them and its similar to the color of dirt or soil if you know what I mean. Anyway, I guess I will never dress myself in such colors because its really old-fashioned.
3 Are colors important in your everyday life?
解析：关于一个东西重要不重要，我们尽量从正面去回答，而不要从反面去讲没了这个东西有什么不好。这是一些同学答得很偏、答得很怪的方向(比如说，讲世界上没有了颜色，一切都很单调，或者没有了颜色就没有交通信号灯了)。另外，颜色在生活中重要是什么意思呢?其实就是我们是不是很重视各种东西的颜色，是不是很挑剔，是不是影响我们的心情等等。不管你的答案是怎样的，都要尽可能扩大出细节、例子、原因、结果，让内容更丰富，语言更充实。
语料：
pay much attention to particular about affect my emotions bright colors put me in a good mood feel terrible spend a lot of time in front of the mirror shopping for clothes hesitate a lot repaint my room
care much about mind in style go well with picky bear with it not much of a problem
参照答案1：
Yes. Actually I pay much attention to the colors in my life because I believe they can significantly affect my emotions. For example, bright colors can generally put me in a good mood but some dark colors just make me feel terrible. So, Im quite particular about colors and thats why I often spend a lot of time in front of the mirror when I go shopping for clothes and I hesitate a lot before repainting my room.
参照答案2：
No, not really. In fact I dont care much about colors. To tell you the truth, when I shop for clothes, I dont even mind whether the color is in style or not. I dont know whether they go well with my skin either. Im not picky about that at all. Whatever it is, I can bear with it. Its not much of a problem.
4雅思口语Time management话题

Q1: Are you good at organizing time?
A1: Not really. I live a quite casual and laidback life. (细节) I mean, I like to follow my heart. For example, when I decide to watch a movie, I would do that immediately. Or even when I want to go traveling, I just do that without a detailed plan and I just set off in a week.
A2: I am good at organizing time and I consider it as a very important part in life. (why) I think our time is so limited and Ive got loads of things to do always. I dont want my life to be in a mess. (how) I like to have a to-do list and arrange my schedule. Then I do everything more efficiently.
思路：
否定的回答意味着随性，就讲讲随性的例子。
肯定的回答就讲讲具体如何规划时间和规划的重要性。
也可以先说我不太擅长，因为 但我希望提升，因为 ,两面都提到。
词汇：
1)重点链接语句：I mean, by that I mean我们的内容总是必须要解释，一定要说得细节一些。
2)live a casual and laidback life 过着随性而放松的生活。 过着什么样的生活叫做 live a life
3)follow my heart 俗称跟着感觉走
4)immediately 马上
5)detailed 具体的
6)time is limited 时间有限
7)"有'最地道的说法是 Ive got
8)loads of 大量的 (有负担的含义)
9)in a mess 混乱
10)arrange my schedule 安排我的日程
11)efficient 高效的
Q2: Do you think planning is important for time management?
A1: Yes, actually I think planning is the most important part of time management.(why) Time management means that you allocate the time to different things, especially the important things or the tough things. So it is just what we do in planning! For example, if I have a really difficult and big task to do and it requires a lot of time and energy, I would think about when to do that and set deadlines.
思路：
这道题的难点在于同学会觉得很怪异，似乎太显然而无话可说。记得关于抽象的东西总是可以举例子来说。必须要大家读读答案，体会那种聊天感，没有任何问题必须要机械地回答，放轻松。
词汇：
1)allocate to 分配给 allocate a lot of money to my clothes, allocate enough time to my homework
2)tough 棘手的
3)require 必须要
4)set deadline 设置截止日期
语法：
1)means that 宾语从句，后面是句子，语法点虽小但也在口语中常用，比如 I believe that
2)It is just what we do in 那正是我们在做的时候做的事情。
...is just what I care about. 正是我在乎的。
名词性从句，即 what I care about 整个为名词成分，翻译为我在乎的东西。
注意，口语上的语法以输出为目的，建议记忆两三个句子，然后自己尝试替换和造句。快速说出口。
Q3: Why do you think some people pay to learn time management?
A1: Well, I guess its just because time management is really essential for some peoplewho work under huge pressure. (why) They generally have very tight schedule and they also need to look after the family. The courses may give them very professional trainingand help them manage everything better.
思路：
大家被问到这种会有点懵，所以记得不要机械记忆，一定要会聊天。你的第一反应可能是，well, really? well, I guess 那么理由自然是The paid courses can really benefit them. 你必须要去讲这样的课程的好处，或者time management多么重要。
词汇：
1) essential： 非常重要的，类似替换important 的词汇还有 crucial, significant
2) tight schedule: 形容天天很满的地道说法
3) professional training：专业的培训
语法：
some people who who引导的定语从句在口语中也经常出现;定语从句在口语中一定要熟练。培养先说这个名词再对它进行修饰的思维习惯。前期觉得说不顺可以写一写，多读几遍再说。稍加学习就会熟练，必须要耐心。
