雅思口语话题等待

Describe a situation you waited for something to happen.

You should say:

when and where it happened;

what you waited for;

how long you waited for it;

and explain how you felt about waiting.

参考范文：

Ok right then, well after thinking for a little bit just now, what I’ve decided to talk about is the time I waited for a boat at the West Lake in Hangzhou. And as for when this happened, well I suppose it must have been about two or three months ago by now, and it was on a weekend, so we kind of knew that there would be a long queue for the boats!

So yeah, when we got there, we were told that there would be a wait of about an hour or so, at least, which was what we pretty much expected. But we didn’t feel like twiddling our thumbs and hanging around for an hour doing nothing, so instead, what we actually decided to do was to get a ticket number first and then go for a walk around the lake, have lunch and then come back again in the afternoo n. Do it that way!

And I’m glad to say that, when we went back later and showed the guy our ticket, he told us we could get on the next boat. So we felt pretty good about it, and it was quite a relief as well, cos I mean, he could have told us that we missed our turn and would have to get another ticket number, you know, like they do in the bank. But thankfully, he took pity on us, especially after I’d said that we had waited for about 4 hours! So yeah, it all worked out pretty well for us, cos we almost immediately got onto a boat. I’m not sure the other people waiting were very impressed, cos it kind of looked like we were queue barging, but anyway, that’s basically what happened!

So that’s about it, thanks for listening!

雅思口语特殊一餐话题

Describe an unusual meal you had

You should say:

Who you were with

Where you went

When it happened

Why it was unusual

思路点拨：以下思路谨供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

这个题目的回答可以分成两个大方向。第一，集中于食物本身，即吃到一些之前没有见过或者无法接受的食物。比如英国的鱼和薯条，苏格兰的哈吉斯，澳大利亚的袋鼠肉，法国的烤蜗牛，西班牙的海鲜饭等带有异国风情的食物。又或者像云南的炸昆虫，北京的豆汁、卤煮，长沙的臭豆腐、臭桂鱼等可能会突破不喜欢的人的极限的食物。第二，集中于吃食物的场景，即食物本身很普通，但一起吃的人比较特殊，或者时机比较特殊。比如跟自己初恋吃的第一顿饭，18岁成年的一顿饭，跟自己的兄弟或者闺蜜彻夜聊天的一顿饭，跟自己的朋友分离的一顿饭，毕业之际的聚餐等。

我要告诉你的特殊的一餐是我跟我大学最好的朋友在毕业前吃的一顿饭。他跟我一个宿舍，床互相挨着。在大学的四年里，我们一起踢球，一起学习，甚至互相帮忙找到了各自的女朋友。拥有无数快乐的回忆。

The unusual meal I am going to tell you is what I ate with my best friend before graduation. He and I shared the same room and our beds were set together. During the college, we play basketball together, study together and even help each other find our true loves. Oh, a lot of happy memory.

那是我们离校的前一天，即第二天我们就要各奔前程。他回厦门进入一所大学教书，我留在当地工作。两地相隔千里。所以很有可能那顿饭将是我们在未来好几年间最后的一顿饭。事实也确实如此。

The meal was in the evening before graduation. Next day, we would pursue our own courses. He would go to Xia’men, a southern city in China, to teach in a university, while I would stay here and start my work. We were parted thousands of miles, so that meal was very likely to be our last meal in several years, and it is.

没有选择外面的饭店，我们买了些食物，啤酒回到生活四年的宿舍。一边吃饭，一边喝酒，一边聊天。那天我们聊了很多，关于曾经的理想，未来的设想，自己的生活。直到凌晨四点多天开始亮的时候才结束。随后收拾行李，他登上前往厦门的旅程，我前往自己租住的小屋。

Instead of eating in a restaurant, we bought some food and beer and came back to the dormitory where we lived for four years. We ate, drank and talked. We talked about our ambitions, expectations, lives, and paths ahead until about 4 o’clock in the morning. Then we packed our baggage. He embarked on his way to Xia’men. I took a bus to my small rented room.

其实那天的食物并不怎么好吃，但我永远记着这顿饭，并且时不时回想起来。因为它代表了我的大学生涯和诸多美好的回忆。

In fact, the food that day was not so good, but I always remember this meal and it resurfaces in my memory now and then. After all, it symbolized the end of my college and precious friendship.

雅思口语Mirror话题

1. Do you often look in the mirror?

思路：可以回答经常照镜子，比如臭美一下，或者检查有没有眼屎，不然就丑大了;当然喜欢化浓妆的人，可能得经常照镜子，尤其是大热天和暴雨天，眼线很容易花的。如果有同学说不怎么照镜子，也是可以嗒，比如只有要挤脸上痘痘时才会想到去找别人借一下镜子。

误区：即使平时不怎么照镜子，同学们也要试试进行一定的扩展，比如上一次照镜子或者无意中路过瞥了一眼是什么时候啦，都是可以的。

语料：

look into the mirror照镜子

every now and then偶尔/有时

check my make-up检查妆容

check my good looks查看美丽的外表

check how I look检查下美不美

hair style发型

with the help of… 在……的帮助下

get rid of… = remove… 去掉……

sleepies眼屎

stick around粘着

be addicted to… 沉迷于……

get smudged晕染了

embarrass oneself丢脸

范例一：

Well, sometimes! You know, I’m a lady and I’ve got to make sure I look good 24/7. Plus, every now and then I need to check if I’ve got any sleepies sticking around the corner of my eye.

范例二：

I guess so. You might not know this, but I’m quite addicted to heavy make-ups and that. So I kind of have to constantly check my face to see if I’ve got my eyeliners smudged. Otherwise I could potentially scare some people. Did that once actually. Was pouring that day, so my whole face was all gone.

范例三：

Not particularly. You know what, I don’t even own a mirror to be honest. But sometimes I do borrow other people’s mirror for a second just to check the spot on my face. Other than that, I don’t really spend much time looking in some mirrors.

2. Do you often buy mirrors?

思路：不怎么买镜子，我的大部分镜子都是免费的。要么是朋友给的，还有粉饼盒子，它们里面自带镜子的;或者是杂志里面送的赠品。

误区：有的同学会就用粉饼盒子当镜子，但是英文又不确定怎么讲，没关系的，稍微解释一下就行‘I just use my face powder box or container, you know they always come with a powder puff as well as a mirror’

语料：

free gift赠品

cosmetic products化妆品

blusher腮红

foundation powder粉饼

plastic wrapping塑料包装纸

范例：

Not at all. In fact, most of the mirrors I’ve got are free, I think. They are either from my friends or just came in some magazines, you know they always put some free gifts in the plastic wrapping.

3. Where do you put mirrors?

思路：可以按照化妆用的小镜子和放家里的大镜子一起分开讲。小镜子一般随身带，塞在手提包里就好了。放在室内的大镜子一般放在浴室啊，门口都行。但是不敢放一个大镜子在卧室，因为恐怖片看多了，害怕;也担心风水。

误区：我们听到题目可能会有些困惑，不知道考官指的是什么镜子。其实这里也没有必要去问考官他或她指的是家里那种大镜子还是小镜子，直接自己分成两种情况去讲就好啦。

语料：

hang… on the wall挂在墙上

hang… in the bathroom挂在浴室

be scared害怕

horror films恐怖片

all those years这么多年来

avoid doing… 避免做……

范例：

Well, if you mean the baby ones for my make-ups and that, I always just stuff them in my handbag. But when it comes to the bigger mirrors, you know the ones you put in the house, I think I might prefer to have one on my bathroom wall or anywhere else except in my bedroom, cause I would be quite scared. You know, I’ve watched too many creepy horror films all those years.

雅思口语plan话题

A plan in your life 【that is not related to work or study】

You should say:

What it was about

When you made it

How it worked

And how you felt about the result

雅思口语话题范例: Well, to be honest, I’ve got to say it’s a pretty difficult topic for me, cause you might not know this, but most of the time, it’s my mom who does all the planning for me, especially when it is study related. So if I’ve got to choose a plan of mine and tell you a little bit about it, perhaps I can just bring up the one I did for my trip to Sri Lanka.

In fact, way before last year, I bought Lonely Planet Sri Lanka when it was on sale, you know, it’s a guide book. They do all sorts of destinations. And then there was this one day, I realized that edition I had been having was going out of date soon, cause I saw the new version was coming out soon. So I thought it was time to plan a trip soon. You might not know this but normally I would love to go somewhere totally on my own. By accident one of my friends heard about my idea and she said she wanted to join me. So I booked our tickets and the hotel for the first night. We didn’t choose to go with a guided tour group, so we had to do a lot of research online before hand. Luckily I found a good website called tripadvisor which gave me all sorts of information I was desperate to know.

This Chinese New Year, we finally made it to Colombo, which is the capital. Even now, I’m feeling so lucky that I came up with the idea of travelling cause I really had a blast on that beautiful island. What I liked the best was the trip was quite spontaneous. I didn’t make any specific route before hand, so we were just following our heart the whole time. Apart from that, thank god, I checked the weather and that and successfully avoided the north which was pissing down at the time. Where we went, which is along the southwest coast, was sunny throughout the whole journey. Still though, there was something I didn’t arrange too perfectly. I didn’t pre book the hotels so when we got to each new city, we had to look for one ourselves, and the prices were relatively high as well. If I didn’t spend that much money, I would have probably stayed a bit longer. At the same time, my friend who went along seemed to enjoy herself just as much. Anyway, I think I might crack on a new plan for the next journey hopefully really soon.
