I would like to describe a live music cafe where people often go to attend evening performance of popular artists. That is a coffee shop named liker.

As for the location, it is located in the prosimity of my neighbourhood; therefore, it is quite convenient for me to drop by this coffee shop whenever I am in the mood for music.When people go to listen to music in the afternoon there is on minor disadvantage which is looking for a parking space during rush hour because there is a hectic street at the front of the cafe; However, as for myself, the live performance at the cafe is so satisfying that it is totally worth the effort.

I first knew this place in last summer when I was looking a music spot where I can meet up with my friends or relax by immersing into music after finishing a series of stressful exams.Fortunately, there was a live music cafe which come highly recommended on the internet.In addition, I also found out that popular artists also use this place to hold live performance or to introduce their lates albums.Consequently, I always go to this cafe to enjoy music in the weekend because it is a perfect place for us to unwind after long hours of working.

To the best of my knowledge, this cafe used to be a run-down building, and hardly anyone noticed it. However, when it was renovated into a stylish coffee shop with state-of-the-art music facilities, it has become the most popular and favouraed live music cafe in the naighbourhood. as for the design, the cafe is divided into two main areas. The first one is a main bar which serves a variety of beverages. In fact, this area is particularly suitable for small groups to gather around and discuss the latest trend in music. The second one is a stage which is elegantly decoarated; actually it makes me feel as if I am invited to a home of an artist to a chill out and listen to music.

Thanks to the cozy atmosphere, this coffee shop has been a regualar haunt for youngsters to listen to music. Therefore, new artists often come here to promote themselves and established ones also have a chance to appeal to new audiences.

雅思口语报刊杂志话题

Describe a magazine or newspaper that you like to read.

You should say:

what magazine or newspaper it is

what the magazine or newspaper is about

how often you read it

and explain why you like to read it.

Ok then, I'm going to describe a newspaper that I like reading, and it's actually one of Hangzhou's local papers called the Morning Express. The reason I started reading this particular paper is basically because it came free with my digital TV subscription, so it would be a bit of a waste if I didn't read it!

好，那我描述一下我喜欢看的报纸，它实际上是杭州的一家地方报纸，叫《晨报》。

Anyway, as for what the newspaper is about, well, it actually covers quite a range of news, such as current affairs, business, sports, local and national news, you name it! But I'd say it essentially focuses on regional news, because after all, it is just a local paper, which, as far as I know, is only circulated in and around Hangzhou.

不管怎么说，至于报纸是关于什么的，嗯，它实际上涵盖了相当多的新闻，比如时事、商业、体育、地方和国家新闻，你说得对!但我想说，它主要关注地区新闻，因为毕竟，它只是一份地方报纸，据我所知，它只在杭州及其周边发行。

And with regard to how often I read it, well, I guess pretty much every day actually, although to be precise, I hardly ever read it in its entirety, as it would be far too time-consuming, especially as I'm not that fast a reader, so I normally just flick through and read only the interesting-looking articles.

至于我多久读一遍，嗯，我猜实际上几乎每天都读一遍，虽然确切地说，我几乎从来没有读过它的全部内容，因为它太费时，尤其是因为我的阅读速度不是很快，所以我通常只是浏览并只读一些看起来有趣的文章。

So finally, as to why I like this paper, well first of all, I would say it's really informative, and it helps me keep up-to-date with what's going on around me, otherwise I wouldn't have much of a clue, to be honest with you! And I guess another thing worth mentioning is that the newspaper is generally very well-written, because the articles, on the whole, are concise and not too wordy, unlike many other newspapers I've read in the past!

所以最后，关于我为什么喜欢这份报纸，首先，我会说它确实信息量很大，而且它帮助我跟上周围发生的事情，不然的话我就没有多少线索了，老实说!我想还有一件值得一提的事情是，这份报纸通常写得很好，因为总的来说，这些文章很简洁，不太冗长，不像我过去读过的许多其他报纸!

Ok, I think that's just about everything, so thanks very much for listening.

好的，我想这就是一切，所以非常感谢你的聆听。

雅思口语美食话题

1. Do you like chocolate?

Yeah I love chocolate! I think it tastes great, and I have to control myself when I start eating it coz it’s just so difficult to stop, if you know what I mean! So yeah, you could say I’m a bit of a chocoholic!

是的，我喜欢巧克力!我觉得味道很棒，而且当我开始吃它的时候我必须控制自己，因为很难停止，如果你明白我的意思的话!所以，你可以说我有点巧克力味!

2. How often do you eat chocolate?

If I’m gonna be truthful with you I’d say pretty much every day, which I know is not the most healthy of habits, but I just can’t help it! You know, I always keep a stock of chocolate at home, and I’ll normally have some after lunch or dinner, cos it’s just a really nice way to finish off a meal.

如果我对你说实话，我几乎每天都会说，我知道这不是最健康的习惯，但我就是忍不住!你知道，我总是在家里储备一些巧克力，我通常在午餐或晚餐后吃一些，因为这是吃完一顿饭的好方法。

3. What’s your favourite flavor?

I guess it would have to be milk chocolate, simply because for me it tastes the best! I know that dark chocolate’s meant to be, like, the healthiest and all that, but it has a kind of bitter taste to it. And white chocolate’s a little bit too creamy for me, so I normally always go for milk chocolate.

我想那一定是牛奶巧克力，因为对我来说味道最好!我知道黑巧克力的意思是，像是最健康的和所有的，但是它有一种苦味。而白巧克力对我来说有点太奶油了，所以我通常都会吃牛奶巧克力。

4. Is chocolate expensive in China?

I think it really kind of depends on what chocolate you’re talking about, because there’s a lot which is made here in China that’s pretty cheap. For example, you can get a small bar of chocolate for only a few RMB, which I think’s pretty reasonable.

我想这要看你说的是什么巧克力，因为中国有很多便宜的巧克力。举个例子，你只需要几块人民币就能买到一小块巧克力，我认为这很合理。

But if you want really nice chocolate imported from places like Belgium and Switzerland, then it’s pretty expensive. I mean, you’re looking at, like, a hundred RMB for a box, something like that.

但是如果你想从比利时和瑞士等地方进口巧克力，那就太贵了。我的意思是，你看，比如说，一百元一个盒子，诸如此类。

5. When was the first time you ate chocolate?

Geez, I honestly can’t remember. I imagine it must have been when I was a small child, but I honestly have no idea what age I was. Let me see…um… If I was to hazard a guess, I’d say I was probably, like, 4 or 5, cos my parents were always really good to me as a child and I’m sure I must have persuaded them at some stage to let me try some!

哎呀，老实说我记不起来了。我想这一定是我小时候的事，但我真的不知道我是什么年纪。让我想想……嗯……如果我冒险猜一猜，我会说我可能是，比如4或5，因为我的父母在我小时候总是对我很好，我肯定在某个阶段说服他们让我试试!

6. Is chocolate popular in China?

Yeah it is, especially in the last few years. I mean, if you go into any supermarket now, you’ll see shelves of it! And if I think about all my friends and family here, just about all of them are big chocolate fans. So yeah, I think it’s pretty fair to say that a lot of people here in China enjoy eating chocolate.

是的，尤其是最近几年。我的意思是，如果你现在进入任何超市，你会看到它的架子!如果我想到我所有的朋友和家人，几乎所有的人都是大巧克力迷。所以，我认为很公平地说中国很多人喜欢吃巧克力。

雅思口语遵守时间话题

1. Do you think it's important to be on time?

Yeah, I think it definitely is, because it’s basic manners to be on time for things. You know, I think you‘d agree it’s pretty rude to keep people waiting, and so it kind of leaves a bad impression on people.

是的，我认为这是肯定的，因为准时是最基本的习惯。你知道，我认为你会同意让人们等待是很粗鲁的，所以这会给人们留下坏印象。

2. How do you feel when others are late?

Well I guess it kind of depends, because I mean, if there’s a good reason for being late, you know, like getting stuck in traffic, then I won’t really mind that much. But you know, if the person doesn’t really have any excuse and it’s simply because they couldn’t be bothered to arrive on time, then I suppose I might feel a bit annoyed.

嗯，我想这要视情况而定，因为我的意思是，如果有一个迟到的好理由，你知道，比如堵车，那我就不会那么介意了。但是你知道，如果那个人真的没有任何借口，而且仅仅是因为他们不能按时到达，那么我想我可能会觉得有点恼火。

Other ideas:

If someone’s late by only a few minutes or so, then that’s no big deal, you know, I have no problem at all with that. But if someone’s late by, like, an hour or something, then it can be pretty annoying, especially if I’ve gone to the trouble of getting there on time.

其他想法：

如果某人迟到只有几分钟左右，那没什么大不了的，你知道，我完全没有问题。但如果某人迟到了，比如，一个小时或什么时间，那会很烦人，尤其是当我遇到按时到那里的麻烦时。

3. Are you, yourself, late very often?

If yes:

Yeah, I am. And I know it’s a bad habit, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, I always seem to end up being late for things!

如果是：

是的，我是。我知道这是一个坏习惯，但出于某种原因，不管我怎么努力，我似乎总是迟到。

If no:

No, I wouldn’t say I am. You know, most of the time I’m pretty good with being on time for things, because I always make a quite big effort not to be late.

如果没有：

不，我不会说我是。你知道，大部分时间我都很擅长准时做事，因为我总是努力不迟到。

7. When does time seem to move fast, and when does it seem to move slowly?

Well, I think most people would agree that time moves fast when you’re having fun. And a prime example would be when playing computer games, cos I mean, whenever I play online with my friends, it always seems that only an hour or two has passed, but in actual fact, it’s probably been four or five hours!

我感觉很糟糕，尤其是如果我让其他人等了很长时间。所以，如果我知道我会迟到，我会尽量提前让对方知道，你知道，比如给他们发短信或其他东西，所以至少他们知道什么时候会来找我。

And time normally goes slowly when you’re bored or simply just not enjoying yourself. For example, I remember at school, some of my classes felt like they would never end, when in fact they were just, like, 45 minutes long!

当你感到无聊或只是不开心的时候，时间通常都会很慢。例如，我记得在学校，我的一些班级感觉他们永远不会结束，而实际上他们只是，比如，45分钟!
