Speaking of a period of history that I fond of,I would like to talk something about the Middle age. Life in the Middle Ages was completely different than we see it today. Some reflections of life of that period are found in cinemas but most of them are unrealistic. They are filled with fantasies. The real life in the Middle Ages was filled with classifications and the feudal system dominated the entire society. And most importantly, people were superstitious to a great extent. This is a very smart candidate task card and I am happy to have it in my share.
In some terms, living in the Middle Ages was beneficial. Life was not so much complicated as it is found today. People used to live near nature. And there were fewer traffic congestions in the streets. Though the streets remained crowded round the day, there were no troubles among the pedestrians and people used to live in their own way. Minding the own business was the key task. The other important benefit was that they did not think so much about the career or about the other silly issues that matter most in the present day.
But there were some drawbacks as well. The classification was the most important obstacle of this age. People were classified into various groups and the noblemen used to dominate the poorer section of the society. The scope of entertainment was limited and the lower parts of the society had no or little access to such activities. The daily life in this age was the subject of wealth and power.
I would like to have lived in that period of time. In fact, a fascination works in me about that age. I have seen numerous events in movies and got addicted to the age. So, I want to travel in the streets with a dimmed lantern with me and enjoy the views around.

范文
I am a big fan of Chinese history. The major events that happened from the first dynasty, Xia Dynasty, to the last dynasty, Qing Dynasty have been acknowledged by myself. But there is one dynasty that have attracted me since I was young. It was the Tang Dynasty.
My first vague impression of Tang Dynasty is from the stories my mom told me when I was very young. At that time, my mom always told me the stories about Zetian Wu, the first and the only woman emperor in Chinese history, such as how she escaped from the temple when her first husband died, how she became the queen of the country and how she used strategies to let ministers bend over in front of her. These exciting stories grasped my curiosity to dig more about the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I started to read historical books to involve myself in this period. Xuanwu Gate incident, the power battle between Princess Taiping and Longji Li, and the love story of Longji Li and Lady Yang are all the splendid events that describe the royal life at that time.

What makes these stories fascinating and attractive is the royal familys struggle between power and family love. Everyone in these historical events would hesitate to defeat or kill their relatives. People involving themselves into these big events always thought about the value of what they were doing. Sometimes readers could even understand their inner heart and think what they have been thinking all the time. Love in exchange for power or power in exchange for love are just two choices of their own heart, but the endings might be so different than the original decisions. Thats what I find interesting about these stories, cruel but sometimes mixed with warmth.
3雅思口语如何描述一段历史时期

Describe a historical period that you are interested in
You should say:
What the historical period is
How you know it
What happened during that period
why you find it interesting
我要说的历史时期是轴心时代。它是德国卡尔雅斯贝尔思在《历史的起源于目标》中提出的一个概念。指的是从公元前600年到公元300年的一段时间。
The historical period I am going to talk about is the core era. It is a concept came up by Karl Jaspers, a German philosopher, in his book, the Origin and Goal of History;. It refers to the period from 600 A.D. to 300 A.D.
我第一听说这个词组是在西方哲学史的课上，后来自己又查找了些相关的资料。我发现这300年的历史无比神奇。在几乎相同的时间里，四大互相隔离的文明古国都诞生了某位极其伟大的人物。中国有孔子，印度有释迦牟尼，希腊有苏格拉底，埃及有先知。他们提出的理论彻底改变了人们对世界的认知，影响随后两千年世界哲学的发展，并塑造了各个文明不同的道路。有人说，核心时代之后的哲学不过是在为他们的思想做注解罢了。
The first time I heard this phrase was in the history of western philosophy, a course in my senior year. After reading some reference materials, I found this era was amazing. Almost at the same time, great men were born in the four isolated great ancient civilizations. China had Confucius. India had Sakyamuni. Greece had Socrates. And Egypt had prophets. This article is from Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. The theories put forward by these men dramatically changed the way people perceived the world, affected the development of philosophies in the following 2000 years, and laid the foundation of different characteristics of those countries. There is a saying that all the theories and ideas generated after the core era are making annotations for those sages thoughts.
这一时期最有意思的点在于这些文明之间并没有太多的交流，却几乎同时开始了自己各具特色的文明之路。他们是如何做到的，难道事先有什么约定吗?
The fascinating point about the core era is that these countries did not have much communication then, but almost simultaneously produce their national philosophies. How did they achieve that? Did they somehow secretly reach an agreement?
4雅思口语描述重要的历史事件

考官不是真的要听中国历史!雅思索试是完全不必须要考生具备specialist knowledge的!考官在意的就是你能不能装模作样的来段两分钟的"瞎说历史'，用词如何，语法如何，流利度连贯性如何以及发音咋样。
所以这道题，认真你就输了。如果大家当心翼翼的开始准备"开国大典'之类的话题，恐怕要碰到好多political terms. 所以建议大家讲一些故事性比较强的，如果你把"甄嬛传'在规按时间讲出来，考官也是不会介意的。所以回忆一下我们看过的跟历史有关的电影吧!把这道题目跟movie合并也是个不错的选择。
下面的素材是"烽火戏诸侯'的雅思索试简易版，有些情节可能跟史实有些出入，不过不要在意这些细节，反正我们在规按时间内完成了一个不跑题的素材，考官你咬我啊~
Id like to share with you an interesting historical event that happened in Xia Dynasty. Its a story in our history textbook about a stupid king whose name I couldnt remember exactly. Anyway, this king married a queen who was drop-dead gorgeous, however, theres one thing that really bugged him, and that is, his queen hardly ever smiled, and thats how she got the nickname ice queen.The King racked his brains trying to find a way to make her smile, but failed every time. He even promised that anyone who could put a smile on the queens face would get a thousand boxes of gold.
One day, someone at the court suggested that the king could light the warning beacons that are normally used to summon armies from surrounding states in times of danger. He explained, the queen must find it hilarious when the nobles arrived and realized they got played. The king thought he had a point, so he took the advice. And the guy was right. The queen did burst out laughing when she saw the nobles hurry to the court only to find that it was a false alarm. If you ask me, the king was so out of line, and the worst part is, he did the same thing several times to please his queen, and finally lost the trust of the nobles. When he was actually in danger, no one came to his rescue.
So you see, its kind of a funny and sad history story, and somehow its usually told as a cautionary tale of how one beauty can topple a country, which I think is so not fair.
对了，回忆是说"重要的历史事件'，我们可以再解释一下它为啥重要其实所有让我们知道了的历史事件都是有historic significance的啊，不然为什么会被记录下来啊对不对!)：This event serves as a warning for rulers in the following dynasties that national affairs are no laughing matter. I dont think any national leader would be so stupid as this king, but this story is still a reminder of how silly decisions can destroy a country.
