Describe a toy that you received when you were a child
You should say:
What the toy was.
Who gave it to you
How you used this.
And explain how you felt when you got this toy
When I was a child, I received a Barbie doll as a gift from my father's friend. He bought the toy from the States.
I played with this Barbie doll almost every day. I begged my grandma to make clothes for her and dressed her like a princess or a super star. She was my favorite toy for a long time. I always put her besides my pillow.
I felt super happy when I received this Barbie doll. The doll had long hair, big eyes, and beautiful skirt. When I was a child, Barbie doll was very expensive and my parents couldn't afford to buy it, so Barbie doll had been a dream gift for me. To some extent, receiving the doll was a dream coming true. I saw it as a valuable gift and tried to keep it in a good shape. I also felt thankful for my father's friend who brought this happiness to me.
雅思口语Part2答案:难忘的童年经历
Childhood is a time when everything is magical and pleasant. The possibility and dreams are vast and things become happier in childhood. Everybody has childhood memories and among them some are pleasant and some are sad. I have various childhood memories and I would like to talk about my childhood memory related to my first day at school.
I was about 5 years old when my parents got me admitted in a local school. I had a fascination of going to school from 3-4 years as I recall and when my father finally announced that I'll get admitted in the coming January, I felt like being in heaven.
I imagined school would be a great place and I would have lots of friends and I would study there. On the day, my parents took me to the school that I had saw many times from outside but never entered. After entering the school, I find myself anxious about everything.
I was unsure what to do, who to talk to, what to do when the teachers would ask questions and many such things. After my father submitted some necessary papers and fees to the admission department, they gave me new books, a temporary Identity Card and a syllabus. I started feeling comfortable after I found that some of our neighboring kids were already in this very school and they came to me and talked to me. This took place at my hometown where I grew up and I had been to this school for the next 4 years.
To my surprise one of the teachers asked my parents to leave me and told me to attend the classes. I was not at all prepared to join the class but I found I had little choice over that. My parents spent few times and advised me how to behave, how to listen to teachers and many more tips. After my parents abandoned me, I was frightened for few moments and sat at a corner of the class. The teacher asked to come forward and introduce myself. I found I was unable to walk and talk. But in few minutes my hesitation got away and I was talking about myself.
The teacher appreciated me and some of the new classmates came forward and greeted me. I started enjoying the class and teachers and found that I started loving my school. Later on I got admitted in college, university and many other places but the memory of first day at primary school was totally different and I still remember the day evidently.
Tips for answering this cue card topic:
You are asked to talk about any event from your childhood which you still remember. This event does not have to be a big event like a sporting success or a visit to a famous place. You can talk about virtually anything that you think was interesting and you can describe comfortably.
Try to talk about something that you would be able to talk fluently. While in the phase of 1-2 minutes for the cue card, many things from your childhood might pop-up in your mind. But pick the thing that you would be able to talk in details.
Some of the common things that we usually remember from our childhood and this list was made to help you generating some ideas to talk about:
1. Your first day at school.
2. Your birthday celebration that you enjoyed.
3. A fight with a friend!
4. A brave thing you did as a child.
5. An expected gift that you got.
6. Something interesting you did.
7. Something naughty you did.
8. A dangerous experience from your childhood.
Not necessarily you have to talk about an interesting and enjoyable thing from your childhood. You can talk about any negative experience you have had in your childhood; like, a death of a relative could be a memorable event that you can’t forget.
Try to make the description interesting and give an impression that you are reciting your memory. Being able to give much detail about the experience and making the topic interesting would help you get a good score.
If you can answer this cue card topic, you should also be able to talk about the following topics:
1. Describe one of the happy memories in your life.
2. Describe a memorable event of your life.
3. Describe a childhood friend.
4. Describe a celebration that you enjoyed.
5. Talk about your first day at school.
6. Describe a negative experience you had in your childhood.

Describe a time you spend with your friend in your childhood
You should say:
Who is this friend
How did you know about each other
And explain why you describe this time
雅思口语part2参考范文
I am going to tell you about my first ‘best friend’ from childhood. I’ll explain how we met, how long we were friends, what we got up to and why I liked her so much, and I’ll try and explain our friendship so you can understand why we were so close.
我要告诉你我童年时的第一个“最好的朋友”。我将解释我们是如何相识的,我们是朋友多久,我们得到了什么,为什么我如此喜欢她,我会试着解释我们的友谊,这样你就能理解为什么我们如此亲密。
I first met my friend Tracey when I went to junior school. We were sat next to each other in class, I don’t think we chose to do that particularly, we probably just sat where we were told to on our first day of the school year, but we got on straight away and were firm friends from the age of about 8 until we left school to go to senior school aged about eleven. We happened to go to different schools at that point, and sadly our friendship drifted apart, when we were younger though, we were inseparable.
我第一次见到我的朋友特蕾西是在我上小学的时候。我们并肩而坐,在课堂上,我不认为我们选择这样做特别,我们可能只是坐在被告知要在我们学校的第一天,但我们立刻上了,是公司的朋友从8岁开始,直到我们离开学校去高级学校大约11岁。在那个时候,我们碰巧去了不同的学校,遗憾的是,我们的友谊渐渐疏远了,当我们年轻的时候,我们是形影不离的。
Tracey and I had similar interests. We liked being outside, we liked horses (although neither of us went riding or had access to ponies back then), we enjoyed doing craft type activities (although she was really talented creating amazing pictures and artwork, whilst I just got stuck at the stage of colouring in!) My main memory is of us heading off together on our bikes for hours and hours at a time. She lived quite near a large park, so I used to cycle to her house, and then we’d go to the park together with a picnic lunch and spend all day playing games together. I’m embarrassed now to think how we galloped around pretending to be horses or whatever the game of the day was, but it was fun at the time. We used to try hula hooping and skipping too, seeing who could hold up a hoop for the longest of skip without stopping using a rope. I have a feeling she was more accomplished than me at both these activities too. Sometimes we would try to find and catch grasshoppers (we always let them go) or we would just laze in the sun until it was time to go home. It was very different then. There were no mobile phones, and people were much more relaxed about letting their children go off and play all day, I’m not sure if you could still do that. Still, we were very happy and used to come back to her house tired and hot and sunburnt, and if we were lucky her mum would give us lemonade to drink and sometimes cheese salad rolls for tea. Happy memories indeed!
特蕾西和我有相似的兴趣。我们喜欢呆在户外,我们喜欢马(尽管当时我们都不骑马,也不喜欢小马),我们喜欢做工艺品类型的活动(尽管她真的很有天赋,创造了令人惊叹的图片和艺术作品,而我却被困在了涂色的舞台上!)我的主要记忆是,我们一次骑着自行车在一起几个小时,几个小时。她住在一个很大的公园附近,所以我经常骑自行车去她家,然后我们一起去公园,一起吃野餐,一起玩游戏。我现在很尴尬地想,我们是如何假装成马或其他什么游戏的,但在当时是很有趣的。我们过去也试过呼啦呼啦,也跳了一下,看谁能在不停止使用绳子的情况下撑起一个呼啦圈。我有一种感觉,她在这两项活动中都比我更有成就。有时我们会试图找到并抓住蚱蜢(我们总是让它们走),否则我们就会在阳光下懒散地呆着,直到回家的时候。当时情况大不相同。没有手机,人们更放松地让孩子们出去玩一整天,我不确定你是否还能这样做。尽管如此,我们还是很高兴,习惯了回到她的家,她又累又热,晒得黝黑,如果我们幸运的话,她妈妈会给我们喝柠檬水,有时还会给我们做奶酪沙拉卷。记忆真的快乐!
In terms of why we liked each other, well we just did! We enjoyed doing the same things, we could talk about anything to each other – complaining about school work or annoying parents and other such troublesome worries of the time. She had pet rabbits, and I had pet guinea pigs, so looking after our pets was a shared interest too. It probably helped that we lived quite close to each other and both had bikes too. We also both had a vivid imagination, it meant we could have remarkable adventures together pretending to inhabit whole new worlds that we had invented for ourselves.
就我们为什么喜欢对方而言,我们就是这么做的!我们喜欢做同样的事情,我们可以互相谈论任何事情——抱怨学校的工作或者恼人的父母,以及其他一些令人烦恼的事情。她养了宠物兔子,我养了宠物豚鼠,所以照顾我们的宠物也是一种共同的兴趣。我们住得很近,而且都有自行车,这可能对我们有帮助。我们俩都有丰富的想象力,这意味着我们可以一起进行非凡的冒险,假装居住在我们为自己发明的全新世界里。
We kept in touch for a while, but both eventually moved on. I think she went on to become an artist of some renown, which was not surprising given her early talent for art. Whatever she does and wherever she ended up I hope she is happy and successful too, and I will always remember her as a brilliant companion from when I was young, I wonder if she remembers me too.
我们保持联系有一段时间了,但最终还是继续了。我想她后来成为了一个有名望的艺术家,考虑到她早期的艺术天赋,这并不奇怪。无论她做什么,无论她到哪里,我都希望她也快乐和成功,我将永远记住她是我年轻时的一个杰出的伴侣,我想知道她是否还记得我。
What do you think makes someone a good friend to a whole family?你认为什么使一个人成为一个家庭的好朋友?
It seems to me that the main element in order for someone to be considered a friend to all members of a family is having common values and interests. If these two characteristics are absent or not compatible, it's really difficult for someone to be accepted as a family friend or to hang out with.
Moreover, if parents see that someone has a good personality and some basic virtues that support the notion of friendship, it is likely that they will like and accept this person to their family. In my opinion, family friends play an important role as there are many cases when parents consort with some people they consider friends, and many times it is likely that their kids also interact with those people.
此外,如果父母认为某人有良好的人格和一些基本的美德来支持友谊的概念,他们很可能会喜欢并接受这个人的家庭。在我看来,家庭朋友扮演着重要的角色,因为在很多情况下,父母和一些他们认为是朋友的人交往,很多时候,他们的孩子也可能和这些人交流。
雅思口语part3答案:童年好友
Do you think we meet different kinds of friends at different stages of our lives? In what ways are these types of friend different?你认为我们在不同的人生阶段会遇到不同类型的朋友吗?这些类型的朋友有什么不同?
I totally agree with that statement as I believe we have different expectations and requirements for our friends in different stages of our life. When children are in primary schools, they just have one or two friends and this is because at that stage they are not capable of assessing and appreciate the importance of friendship. In the early stages of our life, we require friends who would love to play with us, do things that we like to do. So, these relationships are slack and nothing is invested as far as feelings are concerned. However, we start understanding the significance of this bond in the high school as we make some friends who have similar interests and can help us in studies. Friends during puberty, on the other hand, are in many cases the most important in someone's life and often these relationships are really strong and based on solid foundation. At that period of life, people's' relationships are true and substantial as real feelings such as love, affection, support and trust are dominant. When we start our career, we will have many friends who are basically colleagues. In the old age, people usually have friends who are more like family members.
So, I would say that friends in the very early ages are just some playmates who kids hang out and spend some time with and the teen to adult stages include very important and worthy people that are much more than friends.
How easy is it to make friends with people from a different age group?与来自不同年龄段的人交朋友有多容易?
It's a controversial issue as some would say it is quite easy to make friends from different age groups while others would deny it.
In my opinion, the most important characteristics in making friends are communication and common views. In this way, people are able to talk about different things, make meaningful conversations and swap ideas. If these elements don't exist, even among the people of same age group, then it's really difficult for someone to make friends. I would say that usually, people find it easier to have friends of same age groups, but if effective communication and common views work smoothly between two persons of different age groups, they can become good friends. For example, a friend of mine who is around my age has a close friend of 60. When I found about that I was surprised, but when I saw that they have so much in common and they have great times together, I totally endorsed it. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have friends who are much older than I am but I have younger friends and common interests make us a really tight group.
Do you think it is possible to be friends with someone if you never meet them in person?你认为如果你不亲自去见某人,你有可能成为朋友吗?
It’s an interesting question to answer and I would say that it is possible indeed, but it's not the same as having friends who we meet personally and interact face-to-face. Nowadays, especially due to technological advances, more and more people chat and interact with each other via chatting, calling and social media applications and in this way, they develop different kinds of relationships. There are many cases when someone talks with another person on a constant basis and share personal things, experiences and they turn out to call each other 'friend'. But in my opinion, I would say that this person is more of an e-buddy rather than a real friend. A friend is someone that people can see in the flesh and consort with them regularly.
Is this real friendship?这是真正的友谊吗?
As I extensively mentioned earlier, this isn't true friendship, at least in my taste. Many positive sentiments may be created, such as rapport, confidence and happiness, but friendship is much more than only a word and it entails that people have a contact on a regular basis and hang out with each other. E-friendship is a different type of friendship, I would say an impersonal one because friends aren't able to meet each other in person and the only thing they can do is talk by typing keystrokes on the keyboard or make video calls. Such friendship is growing faster due to our reliance on technology, but they are not real friendship, in my opinion.
What kind of influence can friends have on our lives?
朋友对我们的生活有什么样的影响?
It is argued that friends are the second most influential persons in someone's life, after the parents. A famous saying ‘A person is known by the company he keeps’ is indeed a reflection that we are greatly influenced by the friends we have. Especially at adolescence, children are impressionable as they form their personality and character and oftentimes they copy their peers. During this time good friends can instil positive attributes and elements in a person while the opposite is also true.
Friends constitute a big part of our life and they play a very important role. They can contribute to the creation of positive feelings for us such as happiness, self-confidence, esteem and control and can also delude us to have negative feelings and activities. Hence, they can be determinants of someone's character as friendship can play a vital role in a person's beliefs.
How important would you say it is to have friends from different cultures?
你认为有来自不同文化背景的朋友有多重要?
In my opinion, having friends from diverse cultures is extremely important and helpful. Initially, people learn many things about other cultures such as history, customs, values and points, and this way their knowledge in enhanced. Furthermore, it promotes diversity and cultivates tolerance and understanding as well as positive changes in our attitude. For example, by having a friend with completely different culture, people can swap opinions, broaden their horizons and become tolerant about things they have not faced before. To conclude, I reckon that it is essential that people have pals from different countries because as far as I'm concerned, this could only lead to positive outcomes.

魔幻角色扮演 magical role play
Me and my sisters spent our childhood playing a game that could turn into anything from treasure hunt, adventures in strange lands to magical wars.
I thought I was a great adventurer and kept exploring this small forested place around my house seeking treasure (It looked more like a deep mysterious jungle to us). I had a goat who was a great climber. He taught me to climb the hills. I would pick up weird seeds and bring them to my sisters as the eyes of strange animals. They particularly liked a red-black seed which we thought belonged to the fire crow. Once we found a pit that had a lot of broken toys. (Later we realized that we were plundering someone's garbage dump)
round our house we spent most of the time warring invisible forces. The tree below was my favorite horse and I used to shoot arrows at other tree monsters while riding it. But sometimes it became my castle too. The defense strategy of my castle was to shake vigorously if enemy came nearby. It had a lot of heavy green seeds that fell when shaken. So me or my sisters couldn't attack each other when it shook. It also had beautiful yellow flowers that made my sisters' long witch nails.
And sometimes my sisters would dress up as princesses from strange lands. I would enact various strange animals. They used to run around when I became the flying tiger. Their favorite strange animal was the octopus who loved to drink the tea they made. The octopus could sing Arabic songs too.

动作角色扮演 action role play
We roared around on our horses (sticks) shooting each other with rifles and handguns (sticks) and dying in agony, only to get up again a few moments later to resume the fighting. Sometimes we would be horribly wounded and the game would morph into Nurses and Doctors with much bandaging and splinting (sticks), injections (sticks), thermometers under tongues (sticks) (... in retrospect I am delighted that we had no idea there was any other way to take temperatures!)
I have no idea if there was any plan or strategy to our games but they were always outdoors, often involved co-opting our willing pets as playmates (we lived in the country and didn't always have enough victims for our shoot-outs). The dogs, we found, quickly learned they were supposed to “die” when shot, the cats however, were hopeless for that. We had to send them off as “carrier pigeons” with notes attached for reinforcements.
We had court cases and put our cowardly teddy-bears on trial for desertion and hanged them, afterwards having lovely ceremonial funerals, complete with flowers and everyone (including the pets) dressed up in mourning clothes.
Oh it was all such fun.
A century ago now, it seems. I can't wait for my second childhood to begin!

追捕 “Manhunt”
There were two versions of this game, similar to “It” or “Tag”, that we used to play. They both had the same name.
One kid would start off as the bounty hunter (although I doubt we called them that at the time) while all the other kids would run off and hide. The bounty hunter would then have to find them and physically touch them in order to catch them. Once caught, the fugitives turned bounty hunter too, until eventually there was a group of them and only one fugitive remaining who was declared the winner. Basically “Hide and Seek” but on a bigger scale.
There was a team of bounty hunters against a team of fugitives. The bounty hunting team simply had to catch every member of the fugitive team within a set time period to win. If they failed, the fugitives won. The fugitives did not join the bounty hunters in this version. This version can also involve the fugitives trying to reach a particular point (a base) where they must tag something. I remember we used to use either a giant log near the entrance to the woods and in the middle of the field, or a particular tree that stood in the centre of a glade. The final dash for the base was the most exciting part of this version.
This game was great because where I grew up we were lucky enough to have a sizable, but not excessively large, wood near my estate. This consisted of a woodland area, a couple of open fields, a pond area and a hilly part. The fence surrounding it acted as a boundary for the game (you couldn't hide outside the boundary) and we would synchronize our watches for the games with a time period. The first version of the game, at which I excelled, could go on for hours as the last two kids held out like Japanese soldiers in the hills of the Philippines. I had a real knack for finding hiding places and staying dead still and silent. I was also quite adept at running through bushes, climbing trees and leaping over fallen logs. Ah, those were the days

丢沙包 dodge ball
I never played this game, but it was a craze amongst most of my friends in school. Two teams are selected at random, and then people scatter in a open area. A person needs to hit a person of the other team with a sponge ball( Sometimes, even cosco balls are used. The plight of the person getting hit!). There is no winner in this game( But you will feel very sore at the end of it!). Whoever gets the ball, gets the chance to hit any person from the opposite team. Passing is allowed too.

亲情角色扮演 ‘mother, may I?’
We used to always play this game during recess in elementary school. This game was so much fun!
This game is for as many people that want to play. Everyone, except one person who's alloted the title of “mother or father (in case it's a boy)”, is supposed to stand at least 6 feet away.
Each person will ask “mother/father” a question such as, “Mother may I take two steps towards you?” If the mother says, “Yes, you may.” The person who asked the question takes two steps forward. If mother says, “No, you may not.” The person stays in their spot.
The objective of the game is to reach mother/father. Whoever does this, is the next parental figure in the next round.
I don't remember if there were different rules, but we used to play this game almost 16 years ago. It was extremely fun because people would get creative, such as, “Mother, may I jump 3 steps ahead?” People would always get pissed if they didn't get to be the parental figure.
It's a shame to see kids stuck on their phones, video games, and laptops instead of playing outside. I can definitely say that the 80's and the 90's were the best!

打水漂 stone skipping competition
We used to go to the ponds where we would get a lot of flat shaped chunks of stones/mud cups which have been rejected after having tea. We would break them and compete with each other, how many times we could bounce those chunks on water before dispatching it to the diametrically opposite side of the pond. Bouncing stones on water, you must be joking, right? Hell no. Well i found it in the wiki. And it is a serious game with championship. It is called stone skipping. Also you can search how to skip rocks. Here you go:
Step 1: Hold the piece of rock
Step 2: Face the water side ways, legs wide apart, slightly bent on your waist.
Step 3: Bending your wrist and snapping the stone
Step 4: The follow through
Step 5. Practice and more practice. The current record is 40 jumps.
How much to practice? Well till one of the village elderly notices and takes you by the ear and dispatches you home. Yes, you read it right, any village elderly.

蒙眼追逐 blindfold tag
The kids in my family used to play a game we made up called Blindfold Tag. It's pretty self-explanatory. Go into a room and close the door. Blindfold “It”. They chase everyone around until they tag someone. Repeat.
If you were “It” you relied on your hearing, feeling, and memory of the room to find players to tag.
Most rounds consisted of leaping off the furniture to get away/tag someone. One time, in a stroke of genius, we silently moved the furniture forward so it was really easy to escape a dead end. That round went on for about half an hour. Another time, my sister tried to jump from one bed to another, and misjudged which bed she was on. She jumped right into the wall and slowly slid down it.
I honestly don't know how this game never resulted in any hospital trips. Also, the adults did not know we played this game until years later when we told them.

中国跳绳 Chinese rope jump
First you begin with the rope around the ankles of two children.
Another child jumps in the rope with both feet. Then the child jumps out of the rope with both legs straddling each outside rope. Next, the child jumps from side to side. (Straddling each side of the rope.) Then the child jumps on the rope. Then out again. Finally, the child takes the rope, crosses it using their legs, so that their legs are in side of an x. Then the child has to jump out and straddle the rope.
With each jump if they land on the rope when they are not supposed to, then they are out. Or if they are trying to land on it and miss they are out. Once you accomplish the ankles, you move up to the waist, then below the arms, then finally the neck (I have never seen it go that far.) With each sequence you say, “in, out, side, side, on, in, out.”
雅思 口语 描述童年有趣经历
每个人都有自己独特的童年,相信在你的童年发生过很多有趣的经历,下面是雅思口语描述童年有趣经历,跟小编一起来了解下吧:
该题目有两个信息点:enjoyable和childhood。前者要求该段经历必须是愉快的,所以像什么考试不好,回家挨打等经历就不要提了。第二个childhood要求该经历必须是小时候。农村和城市里孩子的童年应该差别很大。农村的话,可以说偷菜、抓蟋蟀、爬树等。城市的话可以是游乐场、博物馆、郊游等。除此之外,我们甚至还可以说玩游戏。碾压全场,带领队友走向胜利等。
You should say?
When did you have this experience? 这段经历发生在什么时候?
Where did you have this experience? 这段经历发生在什么地点?
Who were with you? 你跟谁在一起?
What did you do? 你做了什么?
And explain how you felt about it 你感受如何?
我要告诉你的愉快经历发生在我12岁的时候。当时我们省的省会,郑州,开了个游乐场,我从电视里看到广告,一直要求我爸爸带我过去。经过我持续不断的骚扰,他终于同意了。
The enjoyable experience I am going to tell you happened when I was 12 years old. Then a new amusement park opened at Ji’nan, the capital of my province. Ever since I saw its advertisement on the television, I had been harassing my father to go there. Eventually he yielded and promised to take me there on weekends.
周日一大早,我们就起床出发。游乐场有些远,我们开了1个小时的车才到达。刚到门口我就被震惊了。之前我只在电视上见到过那么多的娱乐项目。我们尝试了来回摇摆的海盗船,互相撞击的碰碰车,垂直下降的跳楼机等惊险项目。但我最喜欢的还是过山车。它在轨道上爬升、滑落、倒转。在这过程中有一个几乎垂直的坡度,过山车在坡的边缘还停顿一下,以使我充分感受即将坠落的恐惧。我的心脏真的快跳出嗓子眼了。
We set out very early in the morning on Sunday that week, since the park was a little far away, which took an hour’s drive. At the arrival, I was astonished by the variety of entertainment facilities. Some of them were beyond my imagination and had not even appeared on the television. We tried Pirate Ship Ride, which swung back and forth, subjecting me to various levels of angular momentum, bumper cars, which we drove to crash each other, and the Mega Drop, which fell from a height of 15 meters. But my favorite was the roller coaster. It was designed to follow an elevated railroad track with tight turns, steep slopes, and inversions. There was an almost vertical slope and the coaster would stop for a moment at the edge of it in order to elicit your fear. My heart was literally pumping at my throat.
我特别喜欢这次经历。直到现在我都觉得它好像是在昨天一样。

雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:童年玩具(Describe a toy that you received when you were a child)
When I was a child, I received a Barbie doll as a gift from my father's friend. He bought the toy from the States.
I played with this Barbie doll almost every day. I begged my grandma to make clothes for her and dressed her like a princess or a super star. She was my favorite toy for a long time. I always put her besides my pillow.
I felt super happy when I received this Barbie doll. The doll had long hair, big eyes, and beautiful skirt. When I was a child, Barbie doll was very expensive and my parents couldn't afford to buy it, so Barbie doll had been a dream gift for me. To some extent, receiving the doll was a dream coming true. I saw it as a valuable gift and tried to keep it in a good shape. I also felt thankful for my father's friend who brought this happiness to me.

雅思口语part2范文
I grew up very far from most of my family so I only saw them once a year. Every summer I would go to stay with them, while my parents continued working. Although I missed my parents, I used to really enjoy spending time with my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. I spent all summer there, nearly two whole months, so from time to time my cousins and I would get bored. We would ask my grandparents if they had any ideas for interesting things we could do. Sometimes they suggested going for a bike ride, sometimes into town to do some shopping. At other times, they showed us a new game to play. Then we were happy again.
One day - it must be about 12 years ago (doesn't time fly!) - all of us got really, really bored and we kept complaining to my grandparents. They were tearing their hair out, trying to think up ideas of where we could go and what we could do. Suddenly, my granddad came up with the idea of going to a new water park that had opened that summer. I hadn't heard about it but my cousins had, and they told me all about it. It was a park with vast numbers of different pools, some inside, some outside. There were water slides as well. And, on top of there was not one, but two playgrounds with swings, a merry-go-round, see-saws. We were so excited.
We set off and on the way we were all singing songs and laughing. We couldn't wait to get there. When we arrived, my cousins and I ran into the park and changed into our swimming costumes. Then we went looking for the most exciting-looking pool, and we found it, one with brightly coloured tiles and slides, we jumped straight in. We played all day in the park and had a lovely lunch, sat on some benches in the sunshine.
My granddad loved a pool that was filled with spa water. It was dark brown and stank of rotten eggs. I didn't want to go in but he eventually convinced me. I'm pleased he did because the water was really warm. I'd never swam in water that warm. I didn't want to get out, despite the terrible smell.
I consider it such a happy memory because we enjoyed ourselves so much and I remember so vividly how I felt that day. But there's more to it than just that. When I look back now, I understand how caring my grandparents were and how much they wanted us all to be happy. They would have done anything to help us have a good time. I appreciate that more now that I'm older and have children of my own. I hope we thanked them; I can't remember. But, anyway, they were content, I'm sure, to just watch us have an amazing time, playing and laughing in the water. So, as you can see, it was a wonderful day and is one of my favourite childhood memories.

雅思口语学习方法介绍
雅思口语学习方法一,怎样用英文简单界定一个东西的技巧。
美国人和美国人交谈80%是想告诉对方这个事物是什么。例如:Where is the book?(这本书在哪儿?)很少有人说What is a book?(书是什么?)而美国的小学生就开始问:What is the book?这种Where is the book?只是思维的描述阶段,而要真正表达自己的思想,就要说What is a book?
雅思口语学习方法二,要训练How to explain things in different ways?(用不同的方式解释同一事物)。
因为事物就一个,但表达它的语言符号可能会很多。这就要多做替换练习,但不是仅仅语言层面的替换。比如,I love you. 中国学生的替换方法就把you换成her,my mother等,但 这种替换没有对智力构成挑战,没有启动思维;如果美国人来替换就会说I want to kiss you, I want to hug you, I will show my heart to you. 等,或者给对方讲电影《泰坦尼克》。也 就是说用一种不同的方式表达同一个意思,或者一个表达方式对方听不清楚,举一个简单易懂的例子来表达,直到对方明白。
雅思口语学习方法三,学会美国人描述东西的方法。
描述方法中外也有很大差异,从时间上来说,中国人是按自然的时间顺序来描述,当我们描述一个东西突然停住时,往往最后说的那个地方是最重要的;美国人在描述上却是先把最重 要的东西说出来,然后再说陪衬的东西。
雅思口语学习方法四,要学会使用当地习语。
不容易学、易造成理解困惑的东西就是“习语”。习语就是每个单词你都认识,但把它们组合在一起,你就不知道是什么意思了。比如北京人说盖了帽儿了,外国人很难理解,这就是习语。所以和美国人交流,能适当地运用当地习语,他马上就会觉得很亲切,也很爱和你交流。
雅思口语学习方法五,学会两种语言的传译能力。
这是衡量口语水平的一个最重要标准。因为英语不是我们的母语,我们天生就有自己的母语。很多人都认为学好外语必须丢掉自己的母语,这是不对的。
雅思口语学习方法六,要有猜测能力。
为什么同一国家的人交流很少产生歧义,就是因为他们之间能“猜测”。教学不提倡“猜测”。但猜测对学好美国口语很重要。在交流中,有一个词你没有听懂,你不可能马上去查字 典,这时候就需要猜测来架起一座桥梁来弥补这个缺口,否则交流就会中断。很多中国学生学习口语讲究背诵,背句型、背语调,结果就是很多人讲口语的时候讲着讲着眼就开始向上翻,实 际上是在记忆中寻找曾经背过的东西。如果他要是能猜测的话,也就不会出现这种现象。
雅思口语考试总共分为三个部分,其中Part1是众多考生认为最为简单的一个环节,可是在这个较易的部分中也会有出现一些让考生很头疼,瞬间词穷的话题,例如“Flower”,该话题曾出现于2010,2011, 2012年的口语考场上,在今年也同样有出现。不少考生大呼这个话题太让人无话可说,大家纷纷表示对花不感兴趣,在日常生活当中几乎不碰触花,不需要花,何来话语可说。其实,这个话题并不是像考生想象中的如此之难。
在“Flower”这个话题中,考官通常会围绕四个方面来提问:是否喜欢花,花的使用性,花的意义以及送花的场合。
第一个方面:是否喜欢花,“Do you like flowers?”对于这个问题,很多学生会容易在答案的逻辑性上出差错。大多数学生的真实想法是:我无所谓,不喜欢也不讨厌。很多考生会为了方便易于回答而干脆选择与自己内心想法不同的答案表示“I love flowers”,这个回答本身是没有任何问题的,在口语考试中,“撒谎 ”是OK的。这里最需要考生注意的一点是之后的解释说明是否有逻辑性。如果考生表示自己是爱花之人,那么接下来的解释说明则务必要做到能够自圆其说,要让考官觉得你的答案是convincible 的。举个例子,考生在回答完“I love flowers”之后接着说 “ I normally send flowers to my mum on mother’s day”. 考官听后表示不理解,答案的逻辑有问题。在考官看来,既然喜欢花,为什么只有母亲节才能送花呢?所以如果你的回答是表示我非常喜欢花,那么接下来的顺理说法应当是我平时很喜欢送花给家人或是朋友,而不是仅仅只有母亲节送花。又或者你可以举其他的例子来证明你是个爱花的人,例如:我很爱种花,在我的阳台上种有各种各样的花卉。倘若考生自己对花真的没有任何兴趣,也是可以如实对考官说的。
接下来的第二个方面:花的使用性,“How do people use flowers in your country?” 很多考生在被问到这个问题时会觉得没有什么idea,不知从哪说起。其实在我们国家,人们会在很多地方用到花,主要体现在三个方面:
1. 用来装饰( decorative purpose)在中国有许多家庭喜欢摆放一些花在客厅或是自己的卧室里,觉得赏心悦目,因此我们可以告诉考官:“ People like to decorate their houses with flower arrangements, they create soothing atmosphere for you and your family members.”
2. 表达爱意(expression of love) 无论是西方情人节还是七夕情人节,鲜花往往成为我们首选礼物被用来表达爱意。而表达爱意的花当属玫瑰,它代表着爱情,rose is the most helping and element which conveys heartiest feeling。
3. 泡花茶(floral tea)不少中国人有喝花茶的习惯。菊花茶,茉莉花茶,玫瑰花茶等等在日常生活当中都非常受欢迎,在大家看来,花茶可以美容护肤,美体瘦身,保健养生。所以人们对花的利用不仅仅是在欣赏上,并且还可以用来泡茶,floral tea does benefit our well-being and beauty。
雅思口语Part 2新题:喜欢的花 favourite flower
喜欢的花 Describe your favourite flower.
You should say:
what it is
where it is grown
if it is common in your country
and explain why it is your favourite flower.
