Describe a 【good】 decision someone made

You should say:

Who made it

What was the decision

When it was made

And explain why it was a good decision

解析：

题目要求描述一个别人做的正确的决定，在回答时要求阐明这个人是谁，在什么时间做的什么样的决定，并且解释为什么这是一个正确的决定。可以写身边熟悉的人在就业、学习或生活中做的正确决定，或者你所知的某个名人做的正确决定。

Well, I am going to talk about a great and well-known decision made by Jobs, the founder of Apple. He quitted from university when he was 17 and he considered it the best decision he had ever made. When he quitted from university, he could take more time to learn the courses that appealed to him like typography and these courses turned out to be very useful to him. Later he launched Apple, one of the first highly successful mass-produced personal computers. He used his knowledge learned in school to design the marvelous typography on Mac. Other products like iMac, iPhone, iPod and iPad also gained great popularity all over the world. Thus he established himself as a leading pioneer in the technology business.

The reason why I thought it was a good decision is that Jobs loved what he was doing. If he had not quitted from school, he might have missed the golden period when personal computers began to be developed at a mass number and other competitors might have replaced him to be the leading figure in the business. It was his passion for this business that led him to do the decision. His experience was so unique and I don’t think there could be another person who can copy his experience.

雅思口语Movies话题

Do you think parents should supervise what films children watch?

思路解析：

1. 题频分析：典型的家庭教育【parenting】话题 → 应从父母、孩子两个角度着手分析 → 提前总结孩子特点和父母教育方式思路

2. 答题思路：

肯定

思路1：由于网络审查【censorship】有限 → 孩子接触到【be exposed to】各种信息 →少儿不宜【not child-friendly】→ 举例【violence, crime, pornography】 → 孩子缺乏判断力【judgment】不能明辨是非 → 很容易学习模仿一些不好的行为和习惯【copy/imitate】→ 父母适当监督把问题扼杀在襁褓里

思路2：孩子有好奇心【curiosity】→ 尤其是青春期【puberty】→ 叛逆rebellious → 如果接触过多与暴力色情相关的电影 → 会产生跟从的欲望 → 导致很严重的后果，如犯罪 → 父母应当给与一些指导【guidance】 → 避免悲剧的发生

否定

思路1：父母监督 → 可能会太过于严格【strict/ harsh】 → 导致孩子叛逆心更强 → 对抗父母【disobedient/ rebel】 → 加剧问题

思路2：没有必要 → 学校教育已经让孩子们明白该做什么、不该做什么 → 应留给孩子们自我判断、自主选择的机会 → 锻炼他们的独立性【independence】 → 毕竟以后使他们自己要社会中生存【survive】 → 不能总让他们成为温室的花朵【flower in greenhouse】

范例答案：

Due to lack of movie & Internet censorship, apparently, now kids are more likely to be exposed to a lot of information not child-friendly at all, especially stuff related to violence, crime & pornography. Meanwhile, without mature judgment, it’s usually hard for children & teenagers to tell right from wrong, which may literally lead to the imitation of certain bad behaviors that they’ve witnessed on screen. You know, it’s not rare to see a young kid swearing or cursing others, even get engaged in physical violence. So, I do believe that, if parents could provide proper supervision about the movies their kids watch, they would effectively nip the negative possibility in the bud.

Do you think famous actors can make the movie successful?

思路解析:

1. 题频分析：典型的影响因素题 P3常考，偶尔P1也会考 → e.g. 造就成功企业的因素，造就成功广告的因素等等

2. 思路分析：

肯定

如果指票房成功【box-office】 → 那可能性很高 → 名演员有庞大的粉丝群支持【backup from loyal fans】 →不管电影本身如何 è 粉丝都会愿意去电影院【be willing to pay for the ticket】→ 以此来表达他们对偶像的支持【support】→ 这也就造就了现在市场上很多的粉丝电影【fan-target movies】→ 撇掉内容不谈 → 票房通常很客观

否定

成功的电影由很多因素构成 → 剧情【plot】、导演【director】、制作团队【whole team of production】等等 → 演员只是其中一环【part of the chain】 → 再说很多名演员只是外貌出众【a looker】，演技不一定好【performance】 → 相比之下 → 强大的团队+好的剧情【plot】更为关键

范例答案：

Well it depends on the definition of successful movies. If you mean box-office, I would say yes. Coz’ basically those famous actors have got sincere backup from their huge group of fans, which means, no matter how bad the film is, those loyal fans would still like to pay for the tickets to support their beloved stars, their idols in the cinema. That’s actually the crucial factor contributing to the emergence & boom of those fan-target films. Forgetting about the plot & performance, those ones are usually more likely to receive a real success in the market, just like Twilight from Hollywood or Tiny Time in China.

Would you say that cinemas will disappear in the future?

思路解析

1. 常见的预测未来题 → 注意will的替换 → be gonna, be likely to do, be expected to, tend to …

2. 不要盲目回答Yes/No → 但可以大致推测 → 根据现状推理 → 去电影院的人多不多?→ 如果多，且越来越多【increasing】 → 不会消失 → 原因【电影院的不可替代性indispensable】→ 环境【environment】 + 设备【facility】→ 版权意识加强【copyright】 è 非法网络资源【illegal】会越来越少 → 不会消失，且会更普遍

3. 时间概念→科技因素→随着科技的进步【advancement】→ 电子便携播放器【portable devices】、家用影院 → 可以在家享受影院级的视听效果【visual & auditory effect】→ 加之电影票昂贵 → 更多老百姓更愿意在家看 → 可能会消失

必背词汇：

大片 blockbuster票房box-office

人称：观众audience, cinema-goers, film-lovers

设备facility：巨幕Imax screen高保真音响Hi-fi system尖端的 cutting-edge

版权 copyright尊重版权 pay royalties to法律意识 legal consciousness

范例答案：

Well, not likely, I suppose, for currently, the number of cinema-goers are increasing faster, just like this year, we’ve witnessed many blockbusters, like Fast Furious 7 or Jurassic Park, which has smashed the box-office, earning a real big fortune. Thus, I guess, the disappearance of cinemas will never happen, at lease in the coming decade. Because, on one hand, cinemas are really indispensable in our life, especially to those film-lovers, for there are simply more cutting-edge facilities in it, like Imax screens or hi-fi systems, which could provide us with much better & more touching enjoyment. And usually it’s really hard to enjoy this at home. That’s why on weekends, tons of people rush into the movie theatre to enjoy the latest films, releasing their pressure from fast pace of life. Another thing is that there are more people informed about the concept of copyright in recent years & gradually those free-download films can be regarded as illegal ones. With stronger legal consciousness, I believe there will be more audience deciding to pay royalties to those artists & filmmakers by watching films in the cinema. That’s why I don’t think it’s gonna disappear from our life.

雅思口语安静的地方话题

Describe a place that is quiet

1. Are there many quiet places in your city? 你的城市里有许多安静的地方吗?

Well, quite a few. As I know. There are several cosy spa treatment zones where people can take a break from a constant stream of noises, feelings, thoughts and vibes which don't belong to them. There are botanical gardens and remote corners of parks which help people slow down, catch a deep breath and set their minds straight. There are public libraries, museums, art galleries and a planetarium which help people reboot their brain and unwind. And, of course, there is a good deal of small quiet cafes which help people rid their minds of negative and unnecessary thoughts, and just a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of delicious cake. So, there are quite enough quiet places in my city.

2. Why do people sometimes prefer to be alone? 为什么人们有时更喜欢独处?

Oh, I guess, first of all, because they need to reboot their brain and unwind from time to time. There is too much noise and communication in people's everyday lives these days and sometimes all of them need time just for themselves, time to think about their past actions and behaviour or think through every action they are about to take, time to discover themselves and find their own voice. Sometimes people need solitude to improve concentration and increase productivity or work through problems more effectively cutting off any dependance on how others can affect their state of mind and decision-making. I guess these are the main reasons.

3. Is there much noise around your home? 你家附近有很多噪音吗?

Well, fortunately, 'no' as I live in a very quiet area with quite few people around. There are no industrial facilities or machinery in my neighbourhood, so the worst noise around my home is either barking dogs of my neighbours or the noise from air conditioning equipment. Though, from time to time I can also hear squealing brakes of passing cars but it is the exception rather than the rule, thank god.

4. Does this noise affect you in any way? 这种噪音对你有任何影响吗?

Well, I am pretty tolerant to noises and just try to tune out whenever I hear them. So, noises which I usually hear in my area don't make me nervous or stressed. Though, there are some kinds of noise I am very sensitive to. I mean some special noises like scraping chalk or nails on a board or persistent knocks on the door. They immediately distract my attention from what I am doing and make me very irritated. I also can't stand loud snoring and intermittent noises that repeat.

5. How do you think noise in cities could be reduced? 你认为城市里的噪音是如何减少的?

Oh, I guess there is a list of 'noise off solutions and large-scale steps that could be taken by cities all around the world. One of them is to lower the speed limit in the inner parts of the city to 40 km/hour. It will not only provide a quieter atmosphere in the city but also reduce pollution and traffic accidents. One more important step that should be taken is to pave roads with noise dampening asphalt, and if it doesn't change the situation significantly reduce traffic volume in the most crowded areas. I would also offer to plant 'noise buffers' composed of trees and shrubs everywhere and especially in busy and create quiet areas and zones in parks, squares and other recreational areas around the city to provide people with special places for relaxation and energy reboot.

雅思口语Environment话题

1. Tell me about some of the environmental problems that are affecting countries these days?

这个题目看起来应该是非常好说的，环境问题，大家应该多少都是知道一些的。题目要求说some，我们大概说两个就差不多了。每个环境问题，我们可以把它的起因，现状和影响都陈述一下，回答的内容一定会是很充分的。下面列举一些常见的问题和对应的思路表达。

全球变暖：global warming/ temperature rise/ carbon emission/ ice glaciers and caps melt/ sea level rise/ fishing industry/ residents living in coastal areas

空气污染：air pollution/ exhaust from cars and factories/ burning of fossil fuels

水污染：water/ ocean pollution/ chemical runoff/ untreated sewage

白色污染：white pollution/ plastic bags/ non-biodegradable materials

水土流失：soil erosion/ soil fertility decrease

乱砍乱伐：deforestation/ unbalance ecosystem/

下面也给大家一个范例回答：

The most serious pollution that is widely discussed these days is global warming. With the increasing carbon emission and the loss of ozone layer, the global temperature is on the rise, which makes the ice glaciers and caps melt and the sea level increase. Therefore, many coastal areas have been flooded and people living there become displaced.

2. Do you think that governments around the world are doing enough to tackle the problems?

我个人觉得，比较真实的回答应该是没有的。因为如果有的话，其实这些问题就不会存在了，或者得到很好的缓解。而事实是，很多问题不但没有改善，而且还在恶化。那么，显然，政府做得还不够。I think governments have not done their best to deal with the environmental problems.

下面就说说为啥：

很多环境问题，比较宏观，影响面非常的广，根本没法一时半会解决，甚至根本不太可能解决。

Many environmental problems are affecting very large areas, so that they cannot by dealt with in a short time or be tackled by one country.

以中国为例，为什么我们对于一些污染治理不够?因为，社会经济的发展，很多时候，不可避免地会造成环境的破坏。比如我们这几年非常流行的雾霾的天气，其实就是工业高速发展的一个必然产物。当年伦敦也是一样的。所以，如果要做到绝对的杜绝污染，所有的排放物不能有一点的脏东西，那么，很多的产业就会收到严重的影响，经济会有巨大的打击。

Also, take China as an example, if we impose strict rules on reducing the emission and on forcing factories to release their waste with no harmful material at all, many of the industries will be influenced. The local industry will be damaged.

比如汽车，如果全部环保，都用电动的，那么很多人都买不起汽车了，那么人们的出行，社会的基本效率的保持，都会收到严重的影响。

If we want to control the air pollution in the cities and replace all the existing cars with the electricity cars, many of the car users cannot afford buying cars and the productivity of the society will be reduced because they all have to take public transport instead.

法律制定的得不是很完善，有些问题没有被写到法律中去。

The current legal system is not perfect, many of the urgent issues have not be included in the law.

法律的处罚措施太轻，不能起到约束的作用。比如我乱扔垃圾，通常是没有人回来阻止我，或者罚款的。及时罚款，可能就5块钱，10块钱。那么，下次，我可能还会扔垃圾。假设，扔垃圾一定会被捉到，每次罚款5千，我想我这辈子都不会再丢垃圾了。

The punishment of the laws is not strict enough to restrict people from violating laws. For example, if the factory emits some chemical waste, they may not be immediately fined or only a small amount of money which is comparable to their benefit they make.

相关环保法规的宣传力度不够，或者我们都知道要绿色出行，要绿色生活的方式，但是，到底怎么绿色，用什么方法，其实我们并不知道，所以，政府应该多做一些宣传片，或者学校里面增加相关的课程，去指导人们绿色环保。

There is limited publicity of the environmental regulations. We may have some basic idea of law carbon lifestyle, but we fail to live that way because we are not told about how to live environmental friendly or how to recycle and reuse all the waste materials. The authority should make more videos and booklets to tell people the detailed steps in becoming greener in life.
